F. H. EWING

THE "F. H. Ewing Pedigreed Stock Farm," located eleven and one-half miles west
of Great Bend, is owned and managed by F. H. Ewing & Co., a firm composed of the
father and sons. They breed and sell thoroughbred Black Percheron horses,
Shetland ponies of the Scotch type, pure blooded Shorthorn cattle, Poland China
hogs and White acres in Pawnee County. Both are well improved, well cultivated,
and are valuable bodies of land. "King wheat" seeds most of the acres, but corn,
oats, Kaffir corn, alfalfa Wyandotte chickens. This farm covers three hundred
and twenty acres, and Mr. Ewing owns another farm of four hundred and eighty and
native grass all are grown, and the meadows are dotted with thoroughbred stock,
whose ancestry came from across the ocean. This branch of the farm's business
has been of slow growth, but Mr. Ewing has gradually collected his herds and
will eventually make it his leading business, although his stock has been
shipped to many counties in the state since he has been a breeder. He has been
an exhibitor and has many prizes to show that prove his animals to be the very
best of their type in the state. The improvements on this farm are a two story
white frame house of eleven rooms; a barn 48x80; an elevator, garage, poultry
house and numerous other small buildings. The premises are well fenced and well
cared for and many trees and plants add beauty.
