CUBA BROTHERS: SALE The dissolution sale of Polled Durham and Shorthorn cattle made by Cuba Brothers of Schuyler, Neb., on April 15 resulted in an average of $100. No special effort had been made on the part of the owners to put the cattle up in condition which most cattle are sold in at public auction, and consequently the average was not high. Several young things were cold in separate lots. The sale was a very satisfactory one and a choice lot of cattle were sold at prices which are fure to make the buyers a nice profit. The top of the sale was $145, paid by L, T. Fredericks, Genoa, Neb., for the yearling bull, September Chief X, NO. 30 in the cat- alog. He was a good, husky bull and was purchased at a very reasonable price. Mr. He purchased one of the top cows in No. 4, Rose Bud X, at $137.50, and was also a good bidder on a number of others that came in the ring, both females and bulls. There was good number of breeders present from a distance, and although some of them were not able to buy, they did considerable bidding. Col. J. C.
