DIG TYPE POLAND-CHINA HOGS BRING HIGH PRICE AT FARM SALES

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN How many of you have heard of "Lady Orohan Wonder." and of "Long Wonder's Beauty?" How many of you? Speak up; don't be afraid. We are not going to hurt your leeunga it you have never even known a single member of this prominent family. Where do all these "Wonders" live? Why, right here In historic old Wayne county, or did until last night: but some of them have left us today and part. Their home and habitat nas been over Centervllle way. from now on they will be a scattered tribe, lost to sight so far as we are concerned, but not lost sight of for a minute by those with whom they will make their new homes. The Wonder outfit belong to the Big . Type Poland-China family of hogs, and rank as aristocrats. . And by the great horn spoon, those dignified, large-framed, fastgrowing porkers seem to know that they belong to the bluebloods and that their names are written in the herd books. Between ourselves, they prob ably don't know or care a cuss about it. This is purely confidential, of course, and we trust you will not say anything like that to Jones and Pike, of Centervllle. You might wound their sensibilities, for they are more or less daffy on this particular and peculiar stylo or hogs. It win go nara enougn with them anyway to lose their pets, though possibly the receipt of $14,800 for them will in a measure, aasaugo their grief, besides they still have a few left The Jones and Pike- Sale. . Now we afe not going to tell you who Jones and Pike are, nor even that Hawthorn Farm lies a mile north of Centervllle, because you already know it, and that It Is there they keep a raft of hogs, such as will be herein described. Well, . these estimable, epntlpmanlv hoe growers held a sale of Big Type Polands on Friday, mark you. They do this every once in so often, or oftener. and hog fanciers come afoot, on horseback, by train and auto, for all kinds of distances to see "them pigs." But we digress we were talking of Long Wonder's Beauty, and her friends. Lady Orphan Wonder. The first was sold to C. E. Chanson, of Franklin. Ind., for a little matter of $1,330. She was three years old on Thursday, If you want to know, or even If you don't, for the truth must be told. Lady Orphan Wonder dates from May, 1912, and went to M. W. Vandermark, of Greenfield, Ind.; at $330. This sow was number 1 in the catalog, and number 61, which was sold much later In the day. Is widely known as "Prospect Buster Is of the male persuasion, and coming-three. Mr. Buster collected $550 for his owners, and Allen and Bush, of New Palestine, Ind., paid it. like little men, most cheerfuly. There was some lively bidding for Buster. Sale Was In Pavlllion. The Jones and Pike sale was held in a pavlllion, and every seat was occupied long before the auctioneers went Into action. The hogs were pa raded before the buyers, one at a time making a procession. The hogs described were among the headliners of the sale, and as such entitled to special mention, but It was a likely bunch from start to finish. Fifty-two head were cataloged, portrayed and painted In glowing colors. We cannot hope to write hog-literature; it Is too silky and fluffy for our experience, and reads like a best seller. It is a case where language fails our language. Names of Buyers. The sale embraced tried sows, fall yearlings and spring gilts. Any hog man will explain. Number 14, tried bow, sold to Roy White of Newcastle, Ind., at $480, a headline price. Number 6 went to W. H. Lautz, of Newberg for $320. Number 34, spring gilt, brought $550 after some skyrocket bidding and went to J. A. Shelton & Son. and No. 33, spring gilt, was sold to L. A. Hall, of St. Paris. Ohio, for $325. O. E. Rich, of Strawn, Ind.. paid $250 for a spring gilt; Olliphant and Gray got one for $220; a Mr. Osborne, of Frederick, Maryland, paid $215 for his gilt and secured a few others at various prices. Roy White, of Newcastle, paid $310 for a tried sow and was a large purchaser at the sale. Curt Redeford. of Connersvllle, got a sprtng gilt at $2S0, while Quince Price, of the same town, got another at $165. Jumbo Giantess, spring gilt went at $420, a top notcher in her class. Arthur Curme, of Richmond, Why. . . POSTUM instead of coffee Try the change for ten days if health or other reasons appeal to you You'll like this excellent table beverage with its rich mffd coffee -like flavor & the results of the change will appeal to you.That s why so much Postum is sold nowadays

Fiftytwo hogs were catalogued and two or three were added though not included in the sale literature. The amount netted, as previously stated, was $14,800, "a neat sum," say we all. THE E. BROWN FARM SALE At the E. Brown farm sale on Friday the cream of the livestock, a fine Holstein eow and calf, went at $111.50 and Clarence Raper was the buyer. This cow was one of the carload of heifers brought to Richmond by the Dickinson Trust company about a year ago, and distributed to the Boys' Cow Club of Wayne county. There were 26 head of heifers in the shipment and each of them has made good. George Fleenor got a good cow at the Brown sale, a half-and-half Jersey Hoi stein, at $100. The Brown farm Is located 4 miles southeast of Richmond, near Elliott Mil's.- Two head of horses were sold, eight of cattle and seven of hogs, besides a lot of implements. The farm was recently sold to a Mr. Roberts, from Ohio, who was a liberal buyer, and this made the sale necessary. The brood sows sold at $54 per head and the gilts at fair prices, as to size and weight. Mr. Brown is a railway conductor, and was doing a little farming as a home proposition. The man he sold the farm to took all the corn, fodder and hay at private sale a few days ago. F. E. McMinn and. Frank Kiser, of the Dickinson Trust company kept the sales accounts and Simon Weddle was auctioneer.
