BUY MORE FINE STOCK.

■ . - V Wood Bros, were out last week and made another valuable addition to their herd of Spotted Poland Chinas. They purchased a two-year-old sow, American Queen, No. 28084, which was junior yearling champion in Bock & Shirks herd in 1917, and bred to General Booster, which sold for $1,005.00, .the highest priced boar of the breed. She was sired by O. & K.*s Pride, one of the foundation boars of the breed, who was champion boar at the National Swine Show in 1916, and has sired many champions, including the highest priced sow sold at .Bock & Shirks* sale at Tipton last month, which sold for $560.00. American Queen is a granddaughter of Helen Gould 39, who has farrowed four grand champions for the National Swine Show at Omaha. This breeding crossed with the Beaver Lad blood they have should make a strong breeding herd for Jasper county.
