Jim Walters Sells Some Colts

Jim Walters is recognized as one of the best horse raisers in Jasper county and he recently made a sale of ten colts, four of them yearl ngs and the other six suckling colts to an Illinois man and received for them the sum of $1,050 or an average price of $lO5 a head. The colts were all from mares of Mr. Walters’ own raising and were sited by Jasper county stallions. Another ins'ance of Jasper county horses bringing a high price was the sale by Granvl le Moody of two fine mares to a Carrol county purchaser for SSOO. This sale was made recently. It pays to raise good horses whether they are to be marketed or kept and the most successful farmers are the ones that are constantly making an effort to improve the quality of their stock. And this reminds us that a number of people have suggested a stock show for next year, and we are convinced that the holding of a show ot this kind annually will have a good influence on stock breeding.
