HOGS AND CATTLE BRING HIGH PRICE AT FARM SALES FRIDAY

BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN The farm of Warner Fleisch fronts the Ohio and Indiana state line road from the Indiana side. The 160 acres He flat as a floor and, aside from the home site, is divided into but four great fields. Stock can be turned into either field from the spacious barn lot, a mighty convenient arrangement In any kind of weather. A commodious barn and great vitrified tile silo are impressive of the character of the farm management and of prosperity;

also of the proper feeding and care of livestock. The Fleisch farm lies a mile north of Boston. The Barn Saves The Day. When the heavy rainstorm broke on Friday, the cattle sale had just been well begun. Now there were fifty-five head to sell and a pouring rain would naturally drive buyers to cover. Here the two large herd rooms In the barn structure came into play, and the sale went on without a break. It wasn't a good day for a sale, and yet, strange as it may seem, the three ' principal sales to now be reported were successful sales, and the prices realized were admitted to be satisfactory to the sale holders. They must also have been satisfactory to the buyers; for there is no compulsion as to , bidding they go as high as they feel It profitable and then quit. 1 Ten-Thousand Dollar Sale. A farm sale that nets 110,400 on a cold, rainy Friday, must necessarially show the goods. Mr. Fleisch certainly had them in the live stock- line, notably in his display of Chester White hogs, and in that of Big Type registered Polands. There were fiftysix head of sows and gilts in the Bale pens, and ten pens of shoats, each containing ten head of matched sized whites. And it didn't take long to sell them, either, gentlemen: hogs being still in demand at all sales, so far as our observation goes. The sale began with the usual offering of implements, a lot of harness, and odds and ends. These went according to the fancy of the buyers, and their needs in the line. The live stock was the chief attraction, . and it was all worth while. There were 4 head of horses and one span of mules, the latter being reserved up to $600 and not sold, although $455 was offered. 1 W. H. Brouso bought a brown mare for $203.50, and a black one at $155. Tom Cain got his bay mare for $132.50. Cattle and Hogs Sell High. Fifty-five head of cattle gave a good selection, because they were all good ones to start with. Ollie Hodgin ' say, we hate like blazes to give a gentlemanly farmer a nick name but had we said "Oliver Hodgin," as tempted to do, who among you would have known to whom we referred? Hold up your hand and be sworn, please. Well, Mr. Hodgin was earnestly and smilingly in evidence early in the day, to cast a wistful eye over the various bunches. Rome , Shurley dropped in for lunch, he said; J thought it was a mighty good place to eat, and beln' as he was present on this delightful occasion he aimed to make a few remarks to the auctioneers.--Will L. Gaar was also among those who came to eat and stayed to buy. They were a gentlemanly lot, these various buyers, and trained in the manner of fountain pens and pocket check books, as events quickly proved. Some of the Topllners. A gentle and kind bovine that ran amuck among the bidders was collar

ed by Shurley before some of them got down from various perches, at $181; said bovine being of the male persuasion by birth and breeding. Mr. Shurley also obtained four heifers at say, $60 each, average. W. H. Wilson paid $913 for his purchases in the cattle ring, a red cow costing $140 of the money, the top on cows without calves at side. After Plate Montgomery had bought four cows, some with calves, at from $90 to $124, ho took over three steers at $85 each. George Hensley paid $131 for cow and calf and Everett O'Neill $126 for a similar pair. Among Ollie Hodgin's purchases were: A red cow and calf at $143. three heifers at an average

of $73 and four calves at about $30

each. It isn t every fifteen minuteB that one can buy a cow with twin

calves, but Mr. Hodgin captured that combination at-$128 on Friday." Cliff Gard got two steers at $103 each. With reference to shoats be It known that there were no "piglets" in the lot, these feeders ranging up to 125 pounds. Our impression is that they ran a good $20 per head average and netted at least $2,000 for 100 head. Will L. Gaar bought 70 head, we think, and Harry McCullough got the balance in the shoat line. These two were determined not to run out of "meat" apparently; wanted it worse than anybody in the ring. The 56 head

of sows and gilts went to various buyers, the top being $66 on Chester Whites and on Polands a shade less. Bruce Herbert got a sow Avith 10 pigs at $6S and one with nine at $65. The records were kept at the Fleisch sale by F. E. McMlnn and Jesse Weichman, of the Dickinson Trust, the later repirting an Intake of $10,400 as cashier. Col. Tom Conniff and' Omar Piatt Induced the bidders to part with all that good money. A Real Dinner The ladies of the Boston, Ind., Cemetery association served a real dinner. Hot roast beef with dressing nd browned potatoes, mark, ye, with bread and butter and beans and pie, and good coffee, with nary a wennie in sight, bless Pat. There are twentyfour good-looking women In this association, judging from those present, and whose names follow: Mrs. Emma Parks, Mrs. Mary Peterson, Mrs. Grace Short, Mrs. John Phenls, Mrs. Polly Dill, Mrs. Laverna Eby, Mrs. Dan Kitchell, Mrs. Ada Bosworth, and Mrs! Anna Overholser. Now you know why men came miles to eat dinner and then stayed on to buy stock, don't you? LEVERTON and WISSLER SALE

! The sale at the Willard Wissler

farm, two and one-half miles south of Hiser's station on the National road, Friday, was very satisfactory to all concerned. It was over in time for buyerB to escape a drenching in the heavy downpour of the afternoon. The only near-accident on account of the high wind was the overturning of a top buggy, just as the owner was starting out to the road. No damage or harm resulted. Sight For a Hog-Lover. If you fancy the great American hog, particularly of the Chester White variety, you would have enjoyed gazing upon ten brood pens in the hog house at the Wissler farm. These recorded sows were not put on sale, but on exhibit. Every last one of them had a contented new family, ranging at from 24 hours to two or three weeks. It was a sight for a photo

grapher, but too dark and rainy for the camera. , Very , Fair Prices Obtained The sale was conducted for G. A. Leverton and B. W. Wissler, by Vanderbeck and Son, auctioneers, and Oscar Kirlin. of the bank at Milton, was cashier. Mr. Kirlin reported the collection of $3,434, a sizeable sum in view of the limited number of offerings. Among the horses sold was a brown mare to Wm. Boland for $152.60; and a brown gelding to Chas. Stiggleman at $159. A few others went at various prices. " Ten head of Shorthorn cattle were divided among three buyers. D. A. Clevenger got a cow and calf at $153, also a Jersey heifer at $58. Kirlin Bros, got a Shorthorn bull, weighing over a ton, for $182; two steers at $67.75 and another at $55. Mordecai DoddridgV selected a red cow that cost him $121.50 and a red heifer at

$46.50. The real contention was for hogs, and Btill more hogs; there being but sixty head of all ages and weights. Eight shotes sold at $13.40, and 24

more at from $13.45 to $14.50, E. F. Doddridge and D. A. Clevenger taking the lot. Seven other shotes brought $98.70. C. Judkins bought three C. W. sows at from $42.50 to $60. Corn brought $1.73 per bushel and was divided by Leverton and Doddridge about 200 bushels, only. Franklin Ladles' Aid Serve Lunch A most enjoyable lunch was served by the Ladies' Aid of the Franklin Union church, the following members

being present: Mrs. Omer Kirlin, Mrs. Emmet Kimmel, Mrs. Clayton Kimmel, Mrs. Henry Larson, Mrs. Ross Cramer, Mrs. Benton Wissler,

Mrs. Clyde Leverton, Mrs. Chas. Kirlin and Mrs. McMath. There was a hungry crowd and a good lunch was much appreciated, to the profit and satisfaction of the enterprising ladies of the Franklin Aid. THE W. F. GLANDER SALE They had the same sort of a stormy Friday in Ohio as in Indiana and farm sale visitors needed rubber boots and waterproof coats in order to be comortable. But the average farm sale shopper and bargain seeker recks not of rain or snow. He is out after the plunder, regardless. W. F. Glander, farming three miles southeast of West Manchester, gathered in $4,450 at his Friday sale. Ira F. Buhrman cried the sale and Elbridge Bunger officiated as cashier. The attendance was a credit to the occasion, in spite of the storm, for Mr. Bunger's friends were out in force. The center of attraction was the hog ring where 14 Duroc and Chester White sows, and 86 head of shotes weighing from 30 pounds up, invited competition. Among the implements sold was a corn plow to Ernest Troutwine at $50 and a hay . loader to Glen Fager at $46.50; a little lot of clover seed brought f 24. . . .' ; ;Live stock Sales. Some good cows brought good prices as they should, of course. George Miller gof his first cow at $124 and Will Mill went him just a dollar better for his bossie. Jamesolwell got a Jersey milk factory for only $62.50, being a careful buyer. William Null bid in a Shorthorn at $129.50, while Levi Wysong was lucky enough to get a good one at $116. Rufus Miller and David Wolford got a calf with their cows for about $80 each. Hogs sold well and rapidly, buyers usually taking the "pen" at a price. Robert Huber's first pen of ten cost him $12.40 each, and the second lot of

ten called for a check for $130. Joe Grottle secured two nice sows for $90.50, while John Sloterbeck paid $98 for his pair, and Noah Charles went into his check book $95 worth for two Chester Whites, elligible to registry-

Tom Neon paid $50.50 each for a paii of breeders and Orville Howell pal, the high dollar for a single red sow, the same being with sixty-three iron men. There were 110 hogs sold, and 35 head of cattle, no horses being put up. Oats brought 57 cents and 500 bushels went to several buyers, mostly for seed. The sale ranks among the good ones in that section.

1919 Will Be a Big Year for

The careful automobile buyer will in most cases buy the Buick. Buicks in the city and on the roads. We can deliver yours now. "Better Buy a Buick Than Wish You Had."

Watch the

Buick Cars will be More Scarce This Year Than Ever Before In previous years the Buick Motor Car Co. was unable to secure freight accommodations to distribute their t cars throughout the country and the result was that the dealer nearer the factory enjoyed the advantage of getting his full quota, due to the fact that he could drive his cars over the roads. In the month of March 1918 we drove 121 Buicks into our storage house. This year there will be less than one-half dozen cars unsold in our storage during March. Now that the war is over and freight conditions have been readjusted every Buick dealer gets his share of cars which means that we will be unable to get as many Buicks this year as in previous years therefore we advise early selections of your Buick for 1919 to assure delivery.
