Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 January 1902 — Jasper County For Fine Stock. [ARTICLE]

Jasper County For Fine Stock.

Jasper county is the banner county in the state; in the matter of the largest farms and cattle ranches: and is well to the front in many ways. Such as large orchards, large barns, in fact the largest barn, large silos, and large drainage systems, in all of whidh this county excells. Now the fine stockmen are coming to the front also. Thus 1800 was recently refused by some Remington parties for a pig less than 10 months old. They are holding for 11,000 and expect to get it soon- This does not look like the fine stock business was very badly over done. Jasper Co. produces as fine blooded stock of all kinds; including poultry, as can be anywhere and affords the proper pasture and feed to keep the same. With as good land and as good set of citizens as the best Jasper county need take no back seat or 2nd place to anyone.
