Here is a Sherman county record
we would like to see beaten. Thi
week O. N. Ruggles sold seven head
of nine months old pigs, the litter ot
one sow, for 1135.96. The total
weight was 1236 pounds an average
or close to 176 pounds to the pig.
and they sold at 11 cents on foot
The most important item in this re
cord of farm production was the fact
that these pigs had been allowed to
hunt their living from the stubble,
and at no time were they inside
feed pen. More Sherman county
farms can be made to do as well.
