Indianapolis, Aug. 23. —While th l , weather man was explaining that the August cold wave was caused by an area of high air pressure which forced the cold zephrs of the upper altitude down to earth.

Mayer) Despite the rain on Tuesday afternoon the two farm meetings arranged by county agent. Martin Busche were held at the Andrew Fuelling farm in Root township, and Otto Hoile farm in Union township, where over 200 farmers gathered including the. Essex county. Ontario, farm tourists numbering 101, occupying 20 autos, who arrived one-half hour late from Ft. Wayne, floating the British flag and large banners. The first meeting was held on the Fuelling farm where there are acres of soy beans, sown May 29, on which Mr. R. S. Thomas, of Purdue Univer sity, gave an interesting talk, telling : of the raising, feeding and the uses i of the same as feed for cattle and hogs. He stated that the soy bean i hay was better than any other for 1 dairy cattle and that the soybean could be made into various feeding products, namely, oil, oil meal and other forms and advised the farmers to grow more*soybeans rotation each year. Mr. Thomas was interupted a*, ' tills point owing to the steady down pour of rain. He continued his talk at the neyt stopping place, the Hoile farm. Upon arriving at that place, he closed his talk and answered many questions asked by the Canadian party. F. G. King, also of Purdue, then gave an interesting talk on hogs and pigs on which occasion he highly complimented Mr. Hoile on his fine Chester White hogs, saying they were, the finest he had seen in his travels. Mr. Hoile then gave a history of bis litter of pigs which he had on exhibition in the hog lot. He said he had 13 Chester White sows that farrowed 144 pigs. 116 being in the feed lot at this time. Thev were sired i

by pure bred Chester White boars, received ear corn, clover hay mid tankage during the winter. One i month before farrowing they received 1 ] ns feed, ground oats round hurley 1 tlover chaf, middlings, oil meal, salt, toaked in water, mid corn was given one week after farrowing and grad ually Increased. Pigs had access tc shelled corn and tankage and soft feed from the time they were able tc. eat. Caatration occurred before weaning. The number of pigs in lit tors furrowed ranged from 7 to 15. Two litters of 12 were raised. They hav< been fed, corn, tankage, pasture, mineral mixture consisting of copp ress, phosphoric acid, sulphor and wa ter. Mr. Hoile was then asked several questions regarding the raising o| pigs, by the Canadian tourists, such as the age of weaning what ho fed and how often they were fed. Mr. Hoile stated that he weaned them ,at four weeks old, fed them soft feed to which they had access at any time, and now they received feed three times a day. When asked whether he ever would change or cross the breed. Mr. Hoile said he wants noth ing but the Chester White Stock. He. was also asked if he experienced any sickness among his pigs. He answerer ‘No, I have bad no sick pigs." Ht also told how his sows were very tame, especially at farrowing time He explained that he would rub them and pet them and would handle the pigs, and he never had a vicious sow at farrowing time. Mr. Hoile gave some valuable information to the vis itors on raising, feeding and care oi young litters of pigs. The Essex county party then departed on their journey under the dir ection of Mr. Hoffman, of Purdue, who is making* the tour with them :<nd county agent Justice Miller, ot Essex county Ontario. Among the touring party was a representative of the Chamber of Commerce and other Ontario eitizent. These two meetings were both interesting and instructive, and county agent Busche has certainly put fort!. 1 his best efforts to make them a success, especially to show the Canadian visitors what Adams county can pro duce, and also show them the hospitality extended to them by the people of the county. Many were the praises by the tour ists in complimenting Indiana and es pecially the people they had met. and said that Adams county as far as they went, took the lead. Many of our local farmers were kept away from these meetings an account of the rain who otherwise would have attended, hut at that, those who were present z were amply repaid for their time. The Essex county Farm Tourists left for Hartford City, where they held a meeting Tuesday evening. County Agent Busche will hold a c hicken culling meeting on Friday forenoon, and in the afternoon will hold a soybean meeting on the Porter farm, west of Geneva. o NEW CORYDON NEWS W. L.

Still Searching For Kidnapped “Crying Baby” New York, Aug. 23 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Little Lillian McKenzie, New York's famous “crying baby" kidnaped from its perambulator last Saturday, is being used by a beggar as a lure and sympathetic wedge for collecting alms, police believe. They are searching for this woman’, following the first definite clue in the abduction. A shabbily dressed woman, carrying an emaciated and crying baby, wrapped in a clean, pink blanket, was reported to be doing house to house begging. The blanket, corresponding to the one tenderly tucked about the McKenzie baby when she was stolen from her mother, was In striking Contrast to the shabby garments of the beggar. The description of the babies correspond. The missing baby's mother, revived yesterday after a total collapse and constant medical attention for 48 houis. “I will not break down,” she promised as she insisted on doing her house work while her husband continued to work with 165 detectives in quest of the lost one, o Bluffton Tax Rate Is Increased Three Cents Bluffton, August 23.—Bluffton's tax rate will be boosted three cents o; the SIOO next year, according to the budget established by the city coun oil last evening. The rate will be 97 cents on the SIOO. Installation of new water mains which raised the sinking fund levy from 19c to 23c was responsible sot the increase. That the rate was not increased twenty-three cents more is laid to a lucky discovery of the city council last evening. Plans were being made to pay for the new fire truck which cost nearly ten thousand dollars, by levying 23c more on the general fund Just as the budget was being compiled it was discovered that “left overs” from previous budgets had a«cutn mutated in the general fund to the ej tent of more than nine thousand dot lars. This was approximately the amount desired to pay for the next truck and City Clerk-Treasurer S. J. Moomaw was ordered to issue t cheek today making complete payment on the truck. This kept the [levy from soaring to the approximate amount of $1.20.

MARKETS-STOCKS Daily Report nf Local and Foreign Market* Opening Grain Review Chicago, Aug. 23—Grain prices op i oned lower on the Chicago Board of Trade today but buying developed on] the dip and values recovered the first recessions. Heavy wheat arrivals and moder-' ately liberal Russian offers caused lower prices in Liverpool, which in turn was the chief factor in produc-' ing the opening decline in the Chi-1 cago pit. There was a sharp rally within a few minutes, however, on a 1 report from Washington which esti-. mated the Indian wheat crop 32.590.-1 000 bushels under the estimate of Mav 31. Reseipts 400 cars. Deferred deliveries of corn were stable at strong values but September prices fluctuated sharply. Heavy, liquidation during the first few minutes of the trade drove prices off 354 cents, but some buying developed and values recovered 1%. Receipts > 150 cars. Oats experienced sharp changes. After opening lower, in line with > wheat, prices rallied sharply, only to recede on profit-taking sales later. The general tone was strong.
