LIVE STOCK NETS $14,000 AT EMETT MENSLEY FARM SALE

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. . The people of this vicinity who marTel at the number of farm sales advertised and reported In the Palladium, are beginning to ask the reason for this apparently contagious and epidemic condition. Some of them Imagine this to be merely a local expres- . sgton of the desire to exchange farm Implements and live stock for currency, confined to this section of Indlana, and adjoining Ohio counties. That Is a mistake. The farm sale fever Is widely prevalent, and not merely sporadic. This Is also true as to breeders' circuit sales, the latter, however, being the rule for many years. To this fact is owed the Improvement of herds and flocks everywhere. " In order to reply satisfactorily to letters of Inquiry on this subject, and to personal Queries addressed to the writer at every sale attended, we shall, a little later, devote a chapter to this interesting topic; the Why and Psychology of the Farm Sale. Primarily, of course, it is the desire to ."get the money" which predominates.. But back of that desire is the reason why, varying as to circumstance and in degree. That you will be any the wiser after you have read what we shall say on this subject, may be doubted. Tou will, in any event, get a new view point, and possibly a few Interesting side-lights. EMMETT HENSLEY 8T0CK 8ALE Those of you who read the E. W. Hensley stock sale literature, or at tended the sale, have noted the offerings of grain, Implements, etc. But the sale was practically and almost exclusively, a dispersion of horses, cattle and hogs, ln-so-far as the receipts were concerned. The sale was held on a tented field, where dollars and not bombs or bullets were the requisite to victory, glory-be. Tom Conniff, Simon Weddle and Omer Piatt were the commanding generals, whose clario voices stimulated or lured into action the opposing forces, lined up around the ropes in battle array. Relating to McGlnty Tou will remember that sad, sweet refrain, relating to one McGlnty, of course. No, did you say? Well, poor McGinty, immortalized in verse and ragtime dance music, was ship wrecked, or fell overboard or something, and was drowned. His taking away was wet enough to Jar the heart of a prohibitionist. Added to the awful horror was the fact that: "Down went McGlnty to the bottom of the eea; dressed in his best suit of clothes!" That's the chorus, as the poet wrote it, gentlemen, so don"t blame us. We simply wanted to use this Illustration in connection with the Hensley sale, only vice-versa, as they say in Patagonia. You see, it was this way or wasn't It? It was. Tom Conniff noticed it when he told Emmett Hensley that this was Emmett's day off, a day on which to let George do It, that is chase the calf around the sale ring, in this instance. You see, Mr. Hensley was arrayed like a bridegroom on the fateful day or like McGinty, was dressed in a new suit of clothes, the observed of all observers. Now this was a brilliant exception to the rule at farm sales, where the boss is usually the busiest and muddiest man on the place. For this reason we make It a matter of record. Instead of going down like McGinty, Mr. Hensley Is climbing up the roadway to wealth. He made a giant stride on Thursday when he laid by $14,851 to take to the tank on Friday, Friday being a lucky day on which to deposit a lot of money any old kind of a Friday will do even on the thirteenth. Live Stock Offerings Forty-two head of horses and mules went under the hammer. They were n urtoft nnrl aristocratic lot nf draft

horses but at that a team of mules led by a nose as to price in the sale ring. The best pair of mules went at 1600, to Claude Adelman, who knows mules from tip to tip. The top on a team of horses was paid for a really handsome pair of grays $525, and George Early produced the money. But a lot of other horses and mules, not ranking exactly as headllners, contributed liberally to the pile of checks taken in. There was a roan mare, for instance, that went at $247.50, after quite a contest. The sale was conducted in a commodious tent, well littered with clean sawdust. The arena was roped off and the auctioneers . held the center of the scene in the sale box, high above the heads of the buyers. The first cow presented for admiration, a black spotted, with calf at side; was knocked down to George Early, at $125. A contented looking brindle, also with calf, came next into view amid great applause from the men In the sale box. Some lucky man who loves milk got Mrs. Brindle at an even $100. Next came a Jersey mother with an eager offspring, the twain selling at $80, to be followed by a black which brought $115 and a brindle pair which reached $125. Walter Brumfield got away with a good Holstein pair at $80, when the auctioneers weren't watching. There were sixteen head in the qattle list and all were quickly disposed of. In the sheep pens were discovered 43 head of sheep and lambs. They were discovered by Clarence Ryan, who greatly admired them. He saw them first, and also last, for they now belong to him. He had the habit of bidding another dollar on each pen and so won out. Prices realized are not to be complained of, and the sheep were the worth while kind. 8ome Really Good Horses. The scene presented in the horse barn was one to delight the eye of men in quest of good drafters. The tops on horses and mules have already been given and of the balance of the list little need be said. Of the 42 head put up none were given away, though a few dollars more would have "set well" in some Instances. The buyers of corn divided 1,000 bushels at from $1.50 to $1.57, George Hodgin, the first buyer, paying the top. Simon Atwell got his at $1.50, the last of the lot. Twenty tons of baled hay was withdrawn, at least it hadn't arrived for disposal. Sale Nets $14,851.56. Any farm sale bringing in $14,851 ranks as a headliner this season, or at any time. That was the record of the Hensley sale. Spending a lot of money is an arduous task, it makes men hungry these bracnp winter days, as the women of Chester are well aware. The Ladies' Aid society of the Chester chu"ch, were out in force, and so were members of the congregation, to help serve a really fine lunch at the modest price of 30c. Those present and "awfully busy" were: Mrs. Fulgham. Mrs. C. E. Woodruff, Mrs. Jennie Huffman, Mrs. Mattie Kendall, Mrs. Bertha Carmen, Mrs. Bessie Forbes, Mrs. Ada Morrow, Mrs. Will Morrow, Mrs. Ida Pickett, Mrs. Myrtle Ulmer, Mrs. Ethel Duke, Mrs. Staley, Mrs. Bertha Stiggleman, Mrs., Pearl Kemp, Mrs. Afton Brum-

Testing Seed Corn at County Headquarters

Wholesale Testing at Lu Verne, Mini

Many county farm bureaus are undertaking the testing of seed corn for all the farmers In the county. Various plans are employed. In the testing room shown a numbered rack is provided. Sharp nails are driven In a board, and as five kernels are placed in the rag-doU tester the ear is placed on the rack, numbered to correspond. One hundred ears are tested In each cloth. The cloth is dampened, rolled up and placed endwise In galvanized buckets. Bricks an placed In bottom and covered with water. The buckets are then placed new a stove or steam radiator to keep from chilling at night, and covered Witt folded cloth to keep in the moisture. The tests are read after six days.

noted rather for quality than quantity. The ottering was not large, consisting of but 11 mares, 4 weanlings and two stallions. One of the latter was not sold, the reservation' price being outside the possible limit in the sale tent, so was not offered. The attendance of Percheron enthusiasts was not very large and mostly from nearby towns. ' Sale Totals $3,154. The Westfleld Stock company was the heaviest buyer. They were represented on the settlement sheets as having bought a mare at $235, another at $180.50 and as paying $155 for the third. A young stallion at $150 and a weanling colt will also go to the Westfleld Stock Farm. , Albert Miller, of College Corner, paid the top figure for a choice marc, her price being $195. Lawrence Goble, also of College Corner, Ohio, bought two mares, one at $247.50, the second at $212.50. His neighbor. Miller, got into action acain when the

next offering was put up, and got his purchase number two at $225. John Johnson, of Kltchell, Ind., paid $155 for a 4-year-old, while Ezra Toney got one of the weanlings at $142.50. The remaining two were sold together for $245 to Raymond Wlscup. B. M. Black of College Corner, paid $142.50 for a yearling.- The sale began at noon and was conducted in ' a large tent by Reitz Bros., auctioneers, of Brookvillo. C. A. Dunlap was clerk and cashier, and the sale netted $3,154. Randolph County Stock Sale N. A. Llndsey, living In Randolpa county, near Modoc, had a pretty lively stock sale on Thursday. The brilliant winter weather and size and character of the offering attracted buyers from all that section and the bidding was so spirited . that very satisfactory prices were realized on nearly everythink put up. Speaking in round numbers the sale netted $10,000. Horses, cattle, sheep and hogs made

tup the entire sale, which was con

ducted by Hindman and Conway, auctioneers. John Manning, of the bank at Economy, had a busy day as cashier of the sale, and a first class appe-. : tite for supper on arrival home, also

Judging from the demand for good things to eat they must have greatly enriched the society treasury. One of the ladies remarked that "all our husbands are here and among the buyers." FLEI8CH PERCHERON SALE William L. Fleisch, breeder of registered Percheron horses, lives In

Ohio, but gets his mail at Boston, Ind. The state line road runs in front of his residence, and though he doubtless would love to live in Indiana and wear the regalia and insignia of a Hoosier, the fates forbid, because of a dividing line, which is invisible, except on the map. Mr. Fleisch has been breeding Percherons for many years and his sales are annual events, never very large but always interest Ing to men who prefer the Percheron strain in draft horses. The Fleisch sale on Thursday was
