DOWN AND UP, IS ' HISTORY OF HOG MARKET IN WEEK

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN There was some excitement in the hog market at Indianapolis on Saturday and prices advanced rapidly. Light hogs which had sold as low as 114.75 on Wednesday brought from $15.85 to $16, and good heavies, which sold at from $13.50 to $14.50 on Wednesday sold at $15.50 for top, with a range on mixed mediums of $15.50 to $15.75. ' These nrlrna chownd a. eain of 50c to

75c over Friday's prices and much j

more from the low of the week, as a comparison of above figures will prove. Take good heavies, for instance; there was a $2 advance in three days, taking the low of Wednesday, $13.50, to the Saturday high of $15.50. The high spots on the hog map showed the following "tops" on the day and week: Compared with a week ago Pittsburgh was $1.25 higher at $17, but, like Indianapolis, Pittsburgh showed a still greater advance from the low of the week, and was the highest market west of New York City. Buffalo ranked next with $16.35, a sain of 60 cents on the week. St. Paul, now quite a market for Minnesota and the Dakotas, ranked lowest at $14 for best hogs during the week. Cattle ruled quiet at Indianapolis on Saturday, with few in the pens, but larg ereceipts of calves demoralized prices. Early sales of good veals averaged 50 cents lower at $20 and up to $21 at the opening, but at the last the price broke below $20 making a decline of another 50 cents as compared with Friday. Supply of lambs limited and quality only fair; prices - $17 to $18. tri ... Live Stock at Chicago. ' The Monday top on hogs at Chicago, $14.70, was Just $1 lower than on the same date in January, as was the average for the week. This $1 lower meant a whole lot to the fanner and sot a copper cent on a million pounds to consumers. It takes some break In prices on foot to affect prices on the meat market counters, as we have all discovered. Hogs broke again in Chicago on Tuesday and Wednesday, and advanced from Thursday on, gaining more than $1.50 from the low to a top of $15.35 on Saturday on light butchers. In eplte of the tips and downs, the week's average price of $14.30, the same as for the week ending February 21; A decrease in receipts of 98,000, compared with a year ago, and a broad shipping demand, caused a flurry in prices at the week end. Week's average weight at 230 pounds was 4 pounds lighter than In previous week. Cattle ruled steady, with prime steers selling up to $16 and good to choice going at from $12.50 to $15. Veals were off, the fancy calves bringing but $17 on Saturday, and the top on lambs was $20.30 for western and $20. on natives. GLEN MILLER MARKET. Heavy stock trucks find it difficult to operate on account of the condition of the country roads and this has resulted in the cuting down of receipts at Glen Miller last week, this being also true of all "truck In" market points, as light receipts at leading market centers Indicate. "This naturally caused a better feeling in the trade, especially on the medium and Yorker grades," said Home Shurley, "good, heavy hogs sellfing on our Saturday market at 14 cents, medium and lights, at 14 to 15 cents, a gain of 50 cents per hundred on the week. There was also a better feeling' in the cattle market and calves were steady." "We received four car loads of stock on Saturday, consisting of 233 hogs, 62 veal calves, and 12 head of cattle, all of which were shlppeid to eastern markets." The following feeders were in with live stock last week: George Bowen, Joseph McKee; Edward Doran; R. E. Petry, Chester Lantz, Henry Tapey, Harry Jordan, H. E. Armecost, Elmer Sinks, Thomas Ryan, Charles Coffin, Benjamin Behness; Harry Toschlog, Frank Austerman; O. Cranor, Frank Hodgin, D. Conway, -r. C. Ross, Harry Osborn, T. L. Ammerman, Charles Brown.

A NEW VIEW POINT. ' In discussing an old subject from a new angle, J. S. Kuth, of the State Line Fruit Farm, located on the traction at the Ohio line, said something of interest to both town and country reader, as follows: "A farmer should consider sun time as Nature's time. From sunrise up to 11 o'clock all vegetables and growing plants are crisp, fresh and growing. From 11 to 2 in hot weather with the sun blazing overhead, the soil should not be disturbed, for best results. ' From 2 p. m. until late In the evening cultivation results in capillary action, draws up the water and the cool, stirred up soil prevents undue evaporation, thus giving the growing plants a chance to absorb the film water, to produce growth. This fact is just as important to successful gardening as to general farming, though on a smaller scale. "If the clocks are set ahead an hour on the farm, it means that we shall te working between 12 and 1 o'clock, sun time, the hotest hour of the day and the most critical hour for both team and driver in open fields, unless we take a 2-hour lay oft at noon. If on top of this the farm hand? should insist on quitting when the factory worker does, or get extra pay for overtime, our present heavy costs would climb still higher. I think thp Palladium folks are entitled to a bouquet for allowing the farmers a chance to find fault with Woodrow "W., the city people, laborites, profiteers, etc." Eight lots of western lambs in a feeding experiment at Purdue cost 12 cents in October, and were sold at $20.10 for tops in Chicago recently. There were 194 head in the contest, 25 of which netted a profit of $4 per head, but the scale on the differnet lots varied as to feeds and days, and these cut the average profit on the shipment to $2.75. The bunch receiving the standard ration of shelled corn, silage, clover hay and cotton seed meal made the most money this year, as has been the rule for 8 years of the last 9. C. M. Vestal, in charge of the feeding says that it required Z pounds of concentrates, 4 of

silage and 3 pounds of clover hay for every pound of grain, which made a cost of 15 cents per pound. The best lot gained .34 of a pound per day for 100 days and weighed 83 pounds. Lambs having the same ration, except but half the amount of corn took 117 days to make the weight. A comparison of grain option prices for May delivery at Chicago today shows May corn to be 10c, May oats 20c, May rye 10c and May barley 48c per bushel higher than on this date last year. They are still malting barley for beer in Europe, and it is also used in black bread over there. More barley is being fed than usual, which also explains the comparative advance in price.. Prohibition has not hurt the barley growers as yet, evidently. Lower Price for Milk. Milk made a drop of one cent to 14c per quart at retail in Chicago on Monday. There is said to be a surplus of milk in the Chicago district for lack of export demand for condensed milk,

owing to the money market abroad. It is stated that a can of milk selling at 15c here costs 75c in Paris, because of the , discount on francs, and

the high price now limits consumption all over Europe. A pint bottle of milk still sells at 9c in Chicago and cream Is worth 60c per quart. The White River Bank of Loogoote, Ind., has donated a lot of Big-Type Poland bred gilts to members of the boys' agricultural class at the high school, they to return two 3-months old gilts later in payment, said gilts to

be also given away on the same basis,

thus increasing the club membership. The selections made were of the best strains in the breed. The agricultural and industrial bulletin of the Chesapeake & Ohio railway gives a long list of live stock and produce offerings by farmers along its line. It classifies the cattle, hogs, etc. by breed, gives the number offered and address of the seller. It also lists sellers offering potatoes, grain and all sorts of produce, many of whom are rural route residents. The "Bulletin" is issued monthly. Interesting Items. Wells County, Ind., Chester White hog breeders have organized a county association of 25 members.

Registered live stock breeders of

Putnam county are planning to build a live stock sale pavillion at Greencastle. A good sale pavillion would be an

asset in many towns, and would at the same time be of assistance to farmers in marketing. Montgomery county breeders, who have found tent

sales a failure in bad weather, are also trying to raise money for a pavillion.

" Pure-bred pig clubs is the slogan of

Washington county farmers for this year. This idea is spreading over the state.

Public sales of Spotted Poland China hogs in March are announced at Hills-

boro and Huntington, Ind.

Greencastle is arranging for a pig elub of 17 high school boys and girls. Members of the Duroc Breeders Asfootetion will supply the pigs.

GETS $2,000 HEART BALM COLUMBUS, Ind., March 1. $2,000 heart-balm judgment was given Miss Oma Orr, 32 years old.
