Two Pure Bred
Berkshire Boars
at a price it will be impossible
to duplicate for same line of
breeding elsewhere. One
boar 25 months old, will
weigh about 300 pounds, not
fitted for the show ring, but
in good breeding condition.
Has never been overdone by
high feeding, so his' breeding
qualities have net been im
paired. He is one of the
famous Riley strains, of
Thornton, Ind. These gen.
tlemen have bred purebred
Berkshires for 40 years. The
Riley type is the standard in
many sections of America.
Nearly every good herd of
Berkshires in this country
is represented with one or
more Riley bred, and at all
the big shows for the Jast
40 years they have won the
lion's shaf e of first prizes.
This One will be priced at $30
if taken before February 15.
Also another half brother, 14
months old, for $20. If you
want a boar for less than half
price you would have to pay
any otner oreeaer lor tne
same line of breeding, better
see me at once. Will furnish
pedigree free. A. E. Sloop,
