LEATHERMAN HAMPSHIRE SALE

Totaled $6,262, an Average of $122.39 for the 51 Head. The J. N. Leatherman Hampshire hog sale, held here Wednesday, drew many buyers and the 51 head sold for a total of $6,262, an average of $122.39 per head. While no exceptional high' prices were reached, the sale was very satisfactory to Mr. Leatherman, and again demonstrated that it pays to raise the pure-bred kind of hogs as well as other pure-bred stock. The next big 'pure-bred Hampshire sale in Jasper coumtf is that of John R. Lewis of Barkley township, the pioneer Hampshire hog breeder of the county and whose animals have won many prizes at state fairs and stock shows all over the country. Mr. Lewis’s sale will be on next Saturday, Jan. 24. His ad appears on another page of today’s Democrat.
