HIGH BIDDING AT DWIGIIT OSBORN AND WHITE SALES

Good Prices Paid for Stock and Farm Implements and at Farm Sales. By WM. R. 8ANBORN. ' Two fortunate Wayne county farmers, who stand in with the weather man. had farm sales on Wednesday. The beautiful weather which they picked out weeks in advance insured a large attendance which meant competitive bidding and better prices.. A large, sociable crowd of friends und neighbors bought everything put ap at the Dwight Osborn sale, which was held on what is known as the J. E. O'Dell farm, 3 miles north of Fountain City and just one and a half miles east of Hopewell church. The crowd came early and stayed until there was nothing more left to buy, paid for their purchases mostly in cash, and then "went their rejoicing way. Everybody seemed satisfied, including the young ladies of the Y. P. C. A. of Hopewell church, who furnished a $3 dinner for 30 cents, to the delight of more than a hundred hungry guests. Did they lose money? Well, farmers wives have the happy habit of donating cakes, pies, etc., for the good of their churches, you know. Clover Seed $27 per Bushel. A small lot of Little Red clover seed was divided between three buyers. Two paid $27 per bushel, the man getting the last half bushel paid but $13 for it. A mighty good wagon, with rack, was sold at $131, Earl Wright of Fountain City being the lucky buyer. A three-section roller at $8.50 was picked up by O. E. Wright and a fine nearly new "Corn Plow" or cultivator at $24.50 was one of the bargains picked up by Glen Love. Frank Lacey of Fountain City paid $10 for a breaking plow, and S. W. Johnson paid $21 for a Moline plow in fine condition. An International hay- loader brought $46, a fairly good Champion binder $18.50 and a mower $17.50. Ralph Holmes paid $46 for a big disc and Linus Reynolds bought the Champion binder. Considerable farm machinery was raid and all sorts of odds and ends cleaned up. A Supreme seed drill brought $73. Interest in Live Stock. James Busby of Fountain City was t'he auctioneer and J. T. Reynolds was clerk. When these gentlemen reached the live stock stage of the proceedings, they found interest greatly stimulated, and everybody ready for action, dinner having lust been enjoyed. Harvey Crull of Fauntain City. Tald $120 for a Short Horn cow and Will Rothermel paid $105.50 for two heifers, one a Jersey, the other a Holsteln. Herbert Brinkley paid the record price for cows, his rod milker costing him $126. Gilbert Wright took home two calves, one costing $62 and an eight-months-old bull $92. 'O. B. Lacey of Fountain City paid $160 for a red polled cow with calf at side. The nine head of cattle sold, including calves, brought $S40, and both buvers and sellers seemed pleased. T. A. Taube of Richmond paid $140 for a throe-year-old mare. An eight-year-old gray mare sold at $175, the top price raid for horses. A pair of weanling horse mules brought $115. List of Buyers. Amon? the buyers were: August Knoll. O. B. Lncey, John Mercer, Clifford Keen. C. B. Keen, William Wright of Lynn, Earl Wrieht of Fountain City, Frank Tcey. Fred Brockofer, Atwood Pitts, Everett Love, of Lynn; T. Jeffers, of Williamsburs: Herford Brinkley. Clarence Hvre, Howard Reynolds, Charles Day. Charles Pendlan. J. D. Williams. Dennis Mercer. William Clark, of Lynn; S. W. Jonnson, of Lynn; Linus Reynolds, Mark Johnson, Ralph Holmes, Herbert Pierce, R. B. March, of Lynn; Walter Farlow and Harvey Crull. The sale lasted to 3 o'clock and totaled about $2,000. Mr. Osborn sold no hogs nor offered any corn. He intends to continue farming, and saya this is his first sale in five years. About that far in the future, it will probably suit him to have another sale. W. D. WHITE SALE The W. I). White farm sale was hold 3 miles rorth of Richmond on the Chester pike, on the old place known as the Lee Fulghum farm. The sale was conducted by Thomas Connlff, auctioner, and Jake Hanea was the clerk. The sale was an allday affair, virtually, and netted Mr. White over $3,300. The White farm was sold recently. Dan Boyer, the buyer, was present, making several tiurchases of things which looked good to him. Calves and heifers sold down ns low as $40 and the top price for a cow was $140. F. A. Williams, stockman of Williamsburg, paid $12.50 for a horse which struck his fancy, but John Flatley of Webster, went him one better and pa'.d $216 for a "toppy" sorrel. Then norace Scott, of Hagerstown, got busy and handed in a check for $257.50 for a "Bluo Roan" that any horsejnan might be proud of. Full blood Duroc and Big Poland China hogs elicited approval and brought a lot of money. These registered and pampered porkers brought up to $100 per nead. - - - Chickens Bring Good Prices. . White specialized in the "Rock" family of chickens, or perhaps it is Mrs. White, as it should be, for she doubtless gave them the care and attention they deserved. There were Barred Rocks, White Rocks and Partridge Rocks on sale and they were all sold quickly at from $1.50 to $3.10 per bird. These chickens are all "pure s m' Collar 23 CENTS EACH CLUXTT.

Plenty of Fat Meat on the Farm; New Method of. Butchering Hogs

: The usual farm method of cutting tip a hog is to sever the ribs on each side of the ' backbone,- take out the backbone, and split the carcass down the midline. The ribs are taken out before the aides are "blocked." Another method is to split with a saw or cleaver as near the mid-line as possible. Then divide each half into four parts, head, shoulder, middle and hams, as shown in accompanying illustration, left side. Remove the leaf backward with the fingers, starting at the front end. The kidneys are in this fat The head is generally removed before the carcass is split into halves. Cut about an inch back of the ears, making a complete circle around the head. If the cut does not happen to strike the atlas Joint, twist the head and it will yield. The fattest part of the head can be used for lard and the more fleshy parts may be used for sausage or headcheese. The jowl is sometimes used for cooking with sauer kraut or baked beans and in the spring with turnip greens. How to Cut Meat. One-halt the carcass should . be placed on the cutting table and cut up. Cut off the front foot about one inch above the knee and the hind foot tho same distance above the hock. The feet can be used to make pickled pigs' feet or pigs' feet Jelly. Tho shoulder cut is made between the fourth and fifth ribs. Remove the ribs from the shouldors, also the piece of backbone which may be attached. Cut close to the ribs in removing them, so as to leave as much moat on the shoulder as possible. These are "spare ribs" and make an excellent dish when fried or baked. If only a small amount of cured meat is destred. the top of the shoulder may be cut off about one-third the distance from the top and parallel to it. The fat of the shoulder top may be used for lard and the lean meat for steak or roasts. It should be trimmed up smoothly. The fat trimmings should be used for lard and the lean trimmings for sausage.

Lively bidding occurred when the corn was put up. The highest price paid was $1.77, the lowest $1.40 per bushel, owing to being a little "soft." Hay brought $20.50 per ton for fair mixed clover in the stack. Burt Jennings and M. T. Pyle will Tiaul away all the corn, being top bidders. Partial List of Buyers. ' At least 300 visitors were present at some time during the sale, not all of whom, of course could be highest bidders and bring home the bacon. Dinner was served. The following list comprises the principal buyers as noted by the writer while at tho sale: R. M. McQuentin, Ollie Hodgin. Wm. Curry, Oliver Taylor, Will Martin, James Webster, Oren Caskey, Frank Williams, Fred Hartman. M. T. Pyle. Bert Jennings, Ed Hollern, Burly Jordan, Dora Wilt. Wm. Hockett, John Flatley and Harry Brown.

I' irst, remove ail sKin ana lean meat ! from the lard trimmings. To do this, cut the lard into strips about 1 inches wide, then place the strip on the table, skin down, and cut the fat from the skin. When a piece of skin large enough to grasp is freed from the fat, take it in the left hand, knife held in the! xt hand inserted between the fat of water, then fill nearly full with the ' lard cutings. The fat will then heat j nd bring out the grease without burn-' THOSE SHOE BILLS! -KEEP MM DOWN Mr. John Held, merchant, of Salt Lake City, keeps an exact record of the shoes he wears. He writes, "Two pairs of Neelin Soles have worn for me 19 months and I am on my feet ninety per cent of the time." This is not an extraordinary example of the money-saving service that people get from Neclin Soles. It is typical of the experience millions are having. These soles do wear a very long time and so help you keep shoe bills down. They are .scientifically made so they must wear. Get Neohn-soled ehoes at almost any good shoe store. Get them for your whole family in the styles you prefer. And have these cost-saving soles put on your worn shoes. They are very comfortable and waterproof as well as durable. They arc made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heeh, guaranteed to out-v.-ear any other heels. fleoliit Soles

When Then strain it through a muslin cloth into the containers. wnen removing lard from a container for use, take it on evenly from the surface exposed. Do not dig down into the lard and take out a scoopful, ror when this is done it will leave a thin coating around the sides of the container which will become rancid very quickly by the action of the air. Butchering Notes , Butcher hogs at home: Give them water but no feed for a day before killing. Bleed the hog with an eight-inch, straight-bladed knife. Be sure bleeding is done before scalding, or the skin may be left too red. .vvvvv-rvvvvv'vvvv'-vv .--' vvv t A Stubborn Cough t Loosens Right Up Thla home-made remedy t wonder for quick mult.

A heavy blow with an axe between the eyes will "tun the animal before SUcking.' . The meat may poil If the animal Is excited before killing, of the Weather Is warm Afterward. - Scrape, as quickly and rapidly as possible atter scalding. The cold carcass i Bard to scrape well. Bleeding wilL be finished more quickly if the animal lies on a steep Slope with its head down hill. ' Keep the hog moving In the barrel. If the animal Is left pressed against the barrel the hot water cannot get at that part of the carcass. Scraping is easier if a shovelful Of hardwood ashes, a lump of lime, some concentrated lye, Or a handful of spft soap, has been aded to the water. Use a thermometer. Do not attempt to scald with the water at above 150 degrees. A good scald can be obtained at 140 degrees, but it takes longer. In opening the carcass, split the pelvic bone between the hams with a knife by cutting exactly Ip the center. To open the breastbone with a knife, cut a little to one side of the center, but do not let the point of the knife get behind a rib. These methods are used at the Missouri college of agriculture, where students are taught the principles and practice of home butchering and curing.

The average yield for the boys' oneacre corn club in Dudley township, Henry county, was 66 bushels to the acre, 31 bushels above the average state yield this year.
