I Hereford Cattle I | FOR SALE I IN ACCOUNT OF SETTLING UP THE ESTATE, I f (I will offer at Private sale, anj’, or all of the Fine Herd of £ I ____ Hereford Cattle, so well known as the Naber-Lea Herd. ■ I Every animal will be priced, from the imported cows, down to male ■ ■ calves, at prices that will dispose of the herd in thirty days. ® ■ Here is a rare opportunity of getting a start in full-blooded, reg- ■ ■ istered cattle, at low prices. I Read the Chicago papers, and see how often Hereford steers top ■ I the market, around six cents, while the great bulk of cattle sell at ■ ■ about four and a half cents- I g These steers are sired by Hereford bulls. There is a great de- ■ ■ inand for these bulls by farmers who want to improve their calves. ■ I Somebody must raise full-blooded bulls. Why not you? You can V I sell a 12-months-old bull calf for as much as a 3 year-old steer would ■ * bring. Why not save two years of feed and care ? Start your son * ■ out with a few cows, and you will be surprised how soon the herd ■ ■ will be worth $5,000. g f Come and spend a day and night with me and take your E B time to it. • h g This is better than buying at a combination sale. ■ g If you have idle money, and some shed room, be sure to winter ■ ■ some of these cattle. Plenty of time given on good notes. n ■ TY* I will met t you at TRE \TY 6 miles south of WABASH, w ■ INDIANA, on BIG FOUR R'Y, if you will let me know. ■ I C. M.
