Stock is suffering from lack of food in the drought -trickon district, and the little feed iln-re is being held at such high prie. - as to be almost out of reach of the average farmer. Families in the rural districts are living on ti e p!ain-t kinds of fare, and even the rapfdj of this is running -hrt. The greate-t sufferers are persons living at a distance from the railroads. Corn there i- being held nt 1 er bushel, nnd wheat is selling at the -anie figpre.

Thafa is little or no work to be found, sind farmer- .ire having their homes fur southern lumlier camps, in order to earn sufficient money to keep their families alive. What causes the most alarm for the future is the lack af see l -orn and pntntoes, and the lack of money to purchase any.
