Progressive Young Farmer Gets in Some Pure Bred Seorthoens.

Chauncey Wood, of south of town, got in three fine, pure bred Snorthorn heifers a few days ago, one 2-year-old, and two yearlings. They are from a herd of Shorthorns at Tiffin, Ohio, one of the most noted 'herds of this breed of cattle in the

country. Mr. Wood is a progressive young farmer and his action is getting started in the breeding of pure bred cattie is. to be commended. Some fifteen head of biiorfliorn, Angus and Hereford male cattle have been brought into Jasper country during the past several months, but this is the first bunch of pure bred 'ers, so far as we have heard, to me brought here. M bile Jasper county is much more ot a stock county than some if its neigjhlbors, especially those on the south, there is not one-half as much stock raised here as there should be. Farmers should engage more generally in the stock growing business, and do so on a larger scale than at present. There is good money in the business and the farms can be kept up in much better condition in handling more stock and feeding most of the grain on the farm.
