Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 October 1897 — Uncle Mac Rejuvenated. [ARTICLE]

Uncle Mac Rejuvenated.

These prosperous Republican times have rejuvenated Uncle Alfred McCoy and he is now rushing the sheep, the oattle and the farming business with old time enthusiasm.

Yesterday he bought four carloads more of lambs at the stock yards, in all 554, which will replace the 600 recently sold, and bring the total of his flocks up to 1800 in round numbers. How many cattle he individually, and the firm own together, we will

not undertake to say, but he has the not very small drove of 200 now fattening at McCoysburg. On the McCoysburg farm there are 600 acres of corn. Some of it is excellent com and some of it dried up pretty badly. He thinks it will average 35 bushels to the acre. On the Jordan Tp. farm there are 800 acres of com and that will probably average 40 bushels to the acre. AH told Uncle Mac thinks he has 53,000 bushels of corn in sight, which is not so bad for a dry year.
