of cattle, including 15 fresh cows, lo horses and mules, and 175 head of hogs, were advertised, the latter conelating of 20 brood sows and feeders of various weights. A good crowd of live stock buyers were present and at times the bidding was very lively. The top on cows was $150 and a number sold at from $100 up. Four young Shorthorn bulls interested Layman Taylor, Cal Middaugh. John Barney and Ollie Hodgin, at from $50 to $85 each.

HORSES MUCH HIGHER Good horses have been bringing higher prices at farm sales and wherever In market, of late, the demand being greatly increased Good milk cows are also In demand, and there is

always competition for them at auction sales; while ordinary cows sell for much less money, in line with lower priced cattle. CHARLES ROSS, live stock buyer at Liberty, Ind. Market weight hogs are getting scarce, but this being a good hog country, shipments have been heavy during the season. Don't think we shall 'raise so many hogs this year as last. When you consider a breaak from around $23 to present prices you may be sure that many feeders have lost money on the decline and some are naturally disgusted, especially as there is no certainty as to prices for summer and fall runs. A few are feeding cattle in this section but not in large numbers, as a rule. Horses are in big demand, think they are averaging $50 per head over prices bid a few weeks ago. A man hid a pair of geldings up to $600

here the other day, a good price for a

I figure too high in depreciated Euro1 pean currency.

Cut Speculative Feeding. GEORGE DAVIS, Williamsburg Several bunches of cattle are being fed and if the market is not as good as it might be, we know we can't expect high prices all the time, and must accept conditions, as they are. We expect to ship two cars of hogs this week, but fat hogs are about gone. As to how much feeding will be done this year will say that farmers will no doubt raise hogs of their own breeding freely, but that there will be a check in buying hogs to feed on speculation and this will cut down the output in a degree. I don't look

for high prices on hogs next summer

on account of the export and foreign

money situation, most of our meat

will have to be consumed at home.

. The earliest hatch in the 10-year

history of the Porterfield hatchery, in

West Richmond, was taken off for

shipment on Tuesday. The baby chicks

began arriving early March 1. about

15 days earlier than usual, and in spite of the cold weather when eggs for Incubating are. hard to obtain.

The hatchery has arrangements with

farm team, even if good horses. We I farmers and chicken fanciers for miles

have had quite a lot of farm sales and

there are still a few to be held in March. Expects Hogs to Advance PIERRE BRAGG. Duroc breeder, at Winchester There is a bright future for hogs in my opinion and think they will sell higher next summer. That

around, who bring in eggs once a week

and all standard strains are incubated

The hatchery now has capacity for 18,000 eggs and expects to ship 50,000

baby chicks this season. Most of

which are contracted for. The ladies in farm homes will be in

National Crop Improvement Berrlc. "Hundreds of tests were made during the past season covering the value of sunflowers for silage and yields compared with corn. It Is nearly unanimous that snnflowers have made good, as they have shown big yields under conditions that killed neighboring corn crops, proving them to be deplorable crop to supplement corn silage, though of course not to supersede It. "The experience of William Gillery, an Oneida county. Wis., farmer, is typical. He found that sunflowers mature about the same time as corn and that they can be handled In the same way with corn binder and corn silage cutter." says Mr. Frank Baackes, V. P. -American Steel and Wire company. "Their weight to the acre compared with corn Is six to one, although some estimates put the yield at about 10 per cent more than corn." F. E. Fnller of the Montana college of agriculture states that it has been

shown In value that sunflowers are practically equivalent to corn ensilage. It Is not maintained that this feeding value equivalent will hold true where a large amount of ear In proportion to the stalk is obtained. The analysis of the sunflower ensilage shows It to be higher in protein than corn ensilage and therefore it is of a special value to regions where corn Is affected by frost. Sunflowers will stand a slight amount of frost without injury In the spring and will not be Injure! in. tic aU by frost which will utterly ruin corn. New York has found it quite successful in many counties, the only kick recorded being that of one group whose sunflowers grew so heavy and rank that It mighty near wore out the farmers getting them Into th silo. The sunflower Is certainly worth a trial acre on any farm with a silo. It has also been successfully used as a soiling crop, and do chickens lav it? Oh, boy!

NUSBAUM EXPLAINS . ATTITUDE ON H.G.L.

Upon my return from New York, having attended the annual meeting of the National Retail Dry Goods association. I was quetsioned as to my views as to the future business outlook as effecting the dry goods trade. The report a8 it appeared was misleading and did not correctly quote by statement and I am informed hag been the cause of considerable comment both favorable and unfavorable by those who read it. In my statement I clearly said that there was no decline in prices in sight for spring, in fact prices were still advancing. As to Fall I did say that there was

a feeling among the merchants not to plunge and buy extravagantly for fall in the hope that united conservation on the part of the retail merchants generally might have an influence to lower prices for fall but as it looks now. the scarcity of merchandise due to the curtailment of production, will

hold prices where they are if not send them higher. In the statement of Assistant Attorney General Figg, giving six principal causes of the high cost of living, his last reason given was "in my opinion the East Is profiteering." As it appeared in the article last week, it stated that in his opinion at least, It was profiteering, which gives an en--tirely different meaning. The merchants as well as the buying public would welcome a decline in prices but up to the present time such a thing is not in sight either for the present or immediate future. LEE. B. NUSBAUM

Yes, the tendency is to buy better

breeding stock, and breeders sales are well attended, the farmers picking up their share. As to horses these have been advancing for at least 30 days and milk cow prices are well maintained. Getting back to hogs, it is claimed that every farm is at least one brood sow short, which means less pork production by thousands of hogs, when the number of farms Is considered. Plenty of Fall Piqs. C. E. BECK. Eldorado There is the usual crop of fall pigs which will be marketed In from CO days on. but fat hogs are pretty well thinned out just now. We shipped out a car yesterday and a lot of them has been marketed here since November 1. Haven't heard of a man who intends cutting down his herd in fact we may increase the pig output over this way a trifle, though some will likely reduce their feeding operations. Not a great many cattle, perhaps, being fed. but more than usual at that. Have some on feed myself which I aim to hold for better prices. As to horses will say that this county has a number of tractors, which helps keep down the price of drafters in this neighborhood. Know of no farms being sold right lately. There is likely to be a cut in tobacco acreage, farmers not being satisfied at prices offered. Feeding Over 300 Cattle. JACOB CAMPBELL Camden We are feeding 324 cattle, all whitefaces, and will feed until April when we hope for a better market. Not a great many are feeding cattle in this district, as the situation is very discouraging, compared with the high time, and

rome men are feeding at a loss, com- j nared with the m-ice thev Daid for

feeders, and others have shipped at a! floss on latest declines. Believe many

j farmers will reduce their cultivated i acreage because of lack of foreign deimand, not only for our meats but also

grain. Our money ana our prices

Monday, so that beginning with the

end of the firBt 21 days a hatch is taken off weekly. Three incubators will be run as fast as eggs can be obtained to fill them. Mrs. Fred Porterfield is the chicken enthusiast, and takes care of the business, as her husband states. The day old chicks are shipped to seed men, bird 6tores, etc., as far south as Alabama and as far east as the seaboard, the earliest chicks going mostly south and there of later hatches to the colder districts. New York and Boston buy a lot of Richmond chicks. Special shipping cases contain 25, 50, or 100 chicks and the chicks are said to arrive at long destinations in good shape. Taking the, entire output of baby chicks the country over, millions are now shipped every year, and the business Is still expanding.

$1,000 DAMAGE DONE BY FIRE TO EATON 6B0GEBY

EATON. O., March 2 Fire that broke out in the roof of the Matchett grocery building, North Maple street. Monday afternoon, burned away the roof of the two-story frame building before the fire department succeeded In controling the flames. The blaze is thought to have started from a defective flue or from sparks dropping on the roof. Damage done to the grocery stock cannot be accurately estimated until it has been gone over. The loss was wholly due to water poured upon the building. Damage to the building probably will amount' to something like $1,000. Mr. Matchett, owner of the building and grocery stock, carried sufficient insurance to cover his loss. He

states the building will be repaired
