Mr. Frank Nesbit, the well known and successful farmer of Falk’s Store, was in town this week doing jury duty. Mr. Nesbit has 160 acres of land bordering on the Payette river, which he is devoting largely to stock purposes. He has a dairy of twelve or fifteen cows and finds a ready market at 25 to 30 cents the year round for the good quality butter that he produces. Mr. Nesbit is also paying some attention to hog raising and believes that there is money in this, even at 4 cents per pound live weight. He fattens largely on alfalfa pasture, with ground feed, either chopped wheat or barley, to put the finishing touches on the pork. Mr. Nesbit stated that he had already been offered 5 cents a pound for his porkers delivered at Caldwell November 1st.—Argus.
