ARMERS HOPE FOR GOOD YEAR IN STOCK LINE rowers and Feeders Expect Strong Demand and High Prices to Follow Recent Disturbance. By A. D. COM. Orowars and ttaotn of Uvsstook

looking forward ta IBIS as a ysar

stoat mukiil by good prices and

stress dsmaad for all classes of a&V ala. Last rser was a disappoint

eat ta many respects to the feeders,

id tha market was affected by one lamlty after another, during- the last

sir meatus of the year. Buyers be-

tarn overoautto on a market that eemed never to settle but broke at

the first elsn of large deliveries, or poor Quality, and the feeder suffered

the oonsequenoes. I The early part of the year marked

l period of prosperity tor the feeders, is the prices of both hogs and cattle irere strong, and the market firm. During the spring, cattle touched the nigh mark, and ruled steady throughout the summer.

War Causes Break. The first break oame with the decla

ration of war in XDurope. and the mar

ket went crazy. In the face of such an unprecedented event, the buyers knd packers seemed at a loss just

hvhat to expect, so they started in to

Jbuy up everything In sight Hogs

went above the 11 cent mark, and the

farmers who had stuff ready to sell

hvore broad smiles.

Quick retribution followed when the

Ifoot and mouth disease broke out, and

for a period of time trade was practically suspended. Indianapolis was the only market that remained open to local trade, and the packers had it all their own way, as they have since the

removal of the quarantine, and this

lime the farmers wore no smiles.

It will probably be some weeks yet

before the fall crop of fat hogs Is all moved, and not until some time later is It likely that the markets will re-

fume a normal trend, wot oniy nas he feeder been forced to take the

Jprice offered by the packer, but he

had to hold his hogs for weeks after they were ready to go, feeding them high priced corn, and to add to the injustice of it all, many of these hogs were bought as feeders on the 10 cent market of August. Farmers Anxious to Sell. All of these unsettled conditions will probably have an Important bearing on the trade for 1915. During a

time of high prices such as prevailed in August and September, farmers are

over anxious to sell and often sacri

fice their breeding stock on the market. Nearly every day during August

and early September, one could see a

number of good brood sows at the Glen Miller yards. Cholera ravaged the country again in the fall, and this

coupled with the foot and mouth scare caused other breeders to sell out. All

this must mean that there is likely to be a shortnge of breeding stock in the country this year and a short crop

ot pigs.

It is impossible to foretell what the

Influence of the European struggle

will be, but the trade seems agreed that when shipping opens up, this country will be called upto to feed

Europe. The packers are preparing for it. and the wise farmer is doing the name thing. With a short crop of pigs, and an open foreign market, the hog market should surpass all previous records next fall. Means Empty Lots. The cattle market presents another problem. There are probably more empty feed lots in the corn belt this winter than for many years past. The foot and mouth disease came just at the time when the feeders were ready to stock up, and because they could not get feeders or because they were afraid of getting the disease, many refused to buy this year. These empty feed lots mean two things. They mean that on many farms there Is a supply of unfed corn, that will either he sold on the market, or fed out next year. What is of more importance to the agricultural Interests of the country, is the fact that there will be no manure on these farms this

CHICKENS DELIGHT CITY SAYS WOMEN

Richmond certainly likes Its chicken. olever farmer's wife. Sirs. Mary F. Eubank, realized this fact and shrewdly profited by it. Today she Informed Marketmaster George McKlcley that during the past year she alone sold 2,600 chickens at the local market. She did not state what dividend she had declared on her ohlcken industry but It Is estimated that her profit was about 25 cents per chicken, which would make her year's earnings $1,560. ftlrs. Ewbank has also found the egg business very profitable and testes that she sold last year on an average of sixty dozen eggs each Saturday. There is also a good profit in eggs so it is reasonable to believe that her profits from her poultry Industry were well over 32,000 last year. Other farmers bare found the chickbasin ess at the local market very profitable, but Mrs. Eubank outsold all of them. Marketmaster McKinley estimates that 20,000 chickens were sold at the market la, 1914.

RITCHIE IS QUIET SINCE TITLE GONE

BY FRANCI8 LAVELLE MURRAY, Staff Correspondent The International News Srvice. PKTROGRAD, Jan. 1. All danger of a German atack upon Warsaw, the chief objective of Field Marshal Ton Hlndenburg, is now past, it was officially announced today in the following statement: "Latest dispatches from the sphere of hostilities in Poland make It plain that Warsaw Is no longer In danger of attack, hanks to the strategy of Grand Duke Nicholas, and the valor of our troops. "During the past two days wo have made further progress all along the line, especially in the Carpathians and in northern Galicla, where the Aastrians are sttll retreating, leaving thousands of prisoners In our hands. "Between the Vistula and the Pllloa there la violent fighting for the possession of trenches, specially In the region of the Bzura and Rawka rivers. Losses are Heavy. "Our losses have been heavy, duo to the accuracy of the German artillery, but the German casualties have been much heavier. At some points the attacks amounted .to no less .than a slaughter of the German soldiers. In the district about Bolimow where the Germans atemptid to assume the of

fensive against our. lines, the field Is covered with corpses that have been there sinoe the fighting last Sunday and Monday. Attempts of the Russians to bury their dead at night resulted in activity on the part of the German artillery, and the Russians performing this sanitary servloe were driven from the field. "North of the Vistula and in East Prussia we are Increasing our pressure. "The fall of Przeymal in Oallcia Is expected soon, as prlsncrs taken In sorties declare that both food and ammunition are very scarce in that city." The Bourse Qaeette says that food in Prsemysl has been so scarce that the Austrlans are carrying food for that oity in aeroplanes. A biplane was captured by the Russians In that district having large quantities ot foodstuff. . In the southern theatre of war another battle Is in progress between Samikarlsch and the Armenian boundary. Two companies of Causaslan trops made a bayonet assault against one section of the Turkish Una, nd In the hand-to-hand fighting which followed the Turks lost thousands in slain, including a general. The Rus-

elans captured 1,800 privates and more

than twenty officers.

There were thirteen thousand visitors in the Magic City hall at midnight when President Wilson sat up in his white house bedroom, three thousand miles away, at 3:01 o'clock, eastern time, and pressed the button, officially opening San Diego's exposition. Millions of lights flashed Into life. Then the noise began. Cannon boomed, steamer whistles blew and thousands of other noise-making instruments got in their work. The celebration lasted until dawn, with tons of fireworks sent up and several jageeants moving in brilliance. William MoAdoo, Secretary of the

In replying to a query as to whether he intended to make any traces he said: "Well, most of the managers are willing to dicker with Cincinnati, but they all want Herzog as payment for any player or players they desire to send to our team. But I think Hersog will have to stick with the team."

Manager Joe Tinker of the Chicago Teds, has made a vain attempt to sign up Roger Peeklnpaugh, eaptatn and shortstop of the New York Yankees. The money asked by Psok for Jumping to the Feds was prohibitive, said Tinker.
