ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI RAZORBACKS. 



A subscriber recently sent me a clipping 

 from The Republic, of St. Louis, Mo., 

 showing the photograph reproduced here- 

 with and stating that the men whose por- 

 traits appear are W. F. B. Smiley, of Belle- 

 ville, 111., and W. A. Kinsey, of Carrollton, 

 Mo., with 135 pounds of black bass caught 



bass, but caught 150 pounds of bass and 

 pickerel, principally bass.

Kinsey looks like an intelligent man and 

 one who should have known better. No 

 one who looks at Smiley's portrait could

 wrote these men, asking for confirm-

 reply : 



We did not catch 135 pounds of black

reasonably hope that he would ever be any- 

 thing else than a fish hog or a game hog, 

 but they are both in the same pen.. It is to 

 be hoped they may some time repent of 

 their sins and that even Smiley may yet

POSSIBLE DAIRY STOCK. 

 I send you a photograph of Master Hugh 

 Rogers and the pointer, Lady. Hugh is the 

 son of Mr, Hugh M. Rogers, of Spokane, 

 and Lady is the property of W. W. Caser- 

 lio, of the same town. The first time Hugh 

 ever saw a cow milked he was much inter- 

 ested and wished to help. Not being per- 

 mitted to do so, he skirmished around, 

 found a small tin pail, chained Lady to a 

 tree, anticipating her possible intention to 

 rebel, and industriously stripped her, to the 

 tune of "So Lady." I had my camera close 

 and took a snap of him at his "milking." 

 Hugh is 4 years old.
