lots sold for $2.40. and 10 roosters brought $3 and up at the H. T. Hough farm sale, on Tuesday. These were listed as purebred stock and while the roosters were divided around, John Freeman took all the rest at his $2.40 hid, amid lively competition. The Hough farm, long known as the Steven Thomas placo, lies along the Richmond-Fountain City pike, six rniles north of town. The farm has V-?n rented to Burrell Toschlog, who as a liberal buyer, and who paid . Z00 for a black mare, the top figure -n the, four horses put up. Three fows and a bunch of fall shoats sold .

at market value, and the same may bo said for the milkers. There were 1,200 bushels of corn, 75 bushels of seed oats and five tons cf mixed hay. The corn brought competition for a number of small lots, a few of them for but 50 bushels. The price ranged at from $1.55 to $1.58 for top. The oats r.11 sold at $1.11 per bushel, and mixed hay went at $29.50 per ton. Sale Totals $3,485.

Judging from numerous interviews with live stock raisers and shippers who are well Informed, farmers here and there have lost many fall and winter pigs owing to the continuous cold weather. The dips to zero were especially disastrous to the new arrivals and many who would have otherwise fed their usual quota will be forced to either buy feeders or will market less pork next fall. This applies locally, but It Isn't likely that

the rest of the country has escaped j

without similar losses, in greater or less degree, throughout the corn belt. These losses may show in stock yard receipts next fall, especially should the late spring crop be limited. While reports of flu are not numerous there are spots where some farmers have been hard hit. , Other localities report no disease of any kind in the hog pens. Reported From Camden. "In my opinion," said Joseph Weadick of Camden, "we are not to have

as many pigs to raise this year. There are not as many sows around here as common, and we lost a lot of fall pigs from some reason, and some are complaining of that right along. Should Judge the pig crop Is cut about 25 percent, maybe more. There isn't any complaint of disease in the hog pens Just now. Personally, I haven't lost a hog from .the flu or cholera either, this winter. Our fat hogs have been mostly- marketed. Some farmers are feeding cattle and I have 43 head of cattle on feed myself. I don't think any of our farmers are aiming to cut down their crop acreages, except as they are short of help." Cold Cuts Piq Crop. Asked as to his views in relation to the summer market on hogs, George Armstrong of Williamsburg Baid: "I am not looking for a high market for hogs for some time, if at all this summer. It all depends, of course, on the general hog crop, for this Is a big country. But regardless of price, I think the farmers in this vicinity will raise hogs as usual, except that a lot of us have had some bad luck with our winter pigs. I have 20 brood sows and some of them have lost their entire litters but the youngsters I have are doing well. The loss of pigs will cut down the crop and some may be inclined to feed fewer hogs anyway, but as a whole I think our folks will feed all the hogs they can properly care for. The lack of stoves in some of the hog houses during the long

cold spell no doubt caused many of the losses Jn the pig crop. As to acreage, the idea seems to be to cultivate all the land you have the help to handle, though some are going to be pressed to get hands."

Hopes for Higher Market. i "Some of our farmers have lost quite a number of hogs this winter," said Caleb Jackson, who lives southwest of Centerville. "I am short about 75 head on account of the flu The long cold spell has also been hard on young pigs, but we will have a pretty fair spring crop, I guess, and they are coming right along. I had rather expected to see hogs around 18 cents, and am a believer in better prices for next summer. Our fat hogs have been pretty closely shipped out, I Judge. "As to transfers of farms, not all the farms on sale changed bands, even after they had been dickered for. We 6hall cut down on cultivation in spots for lack of help; some will Just have to." Will Buy Tractors. "Will our farmers feed leas hogs on account of low prices? Some will and 6ome won't," is the way Horace LaMar of Liberty, sized it up. "I am going to sell my hogs and buy pigs later as it suits me. And so will some others. Guess the average farmer will raise most of his pigs, but feeders who buy young stuiT are not likely to dip In so ieeply. looks to me; everything being so uncertain. "Haven't heard of anybody who wants to cut their planting, but will

have to for lack of labor; they can't get away from it. "We have all the help needed arranged for. Quite a few horses have been shipped into Liberty and are bringing some better prices, but a lot of men are considering tractors. The Standard Oil man says he expects the most business he has ever had from the farmers this year in supplying gasoline and oils for their cars, tractors and farm engines. If wheat falls down we "expect to plant a lot of oats this spring. Some wheat looks fine, but some have to be plowed up." Lime Hills Hog Vermin. A little lime on hog house floors, and a coat on the walls sweetens the building and destroys vermin. Hog

houses should be well drained, have dry floors and as much sunshine as possible. This is especially Important in cold spring months of the early farrowing season. Let the houses face the sun and have plenty of windows. In whitewashing the lime Is more effective if applied hot. Use air slacked lime for the floors. The 28 states so far included in the federation of farm bureaus have raised $250,000 to carry on the work. Nearly 60,000 Illinois farmers are bureau members. J. R. Howard, of Clemons, Iowa was elected president at the meeting in Chicago. Figures gathered at Washington are to the effect that a census of New York farms on February 1 showed that actual operators of farms had decreased about 3 per cent, and of hired hands more than 17 per cent, compared with same date in 1919. It is inferred that the same is true in degree in all agricultural states. It is estimated, too. that farm wages will run 14 per cent, higher this year than last. Texas state officials estimate that shortage of help and excessive rains which kept farmers from their fields, will result in the loss of 4,000,000 acres of cultivated land this year, compared with a year ago. SOLONICA RAILROAD BOUGHT WASHINGTON, March 10. Negotiations undertaken by the Greek government for the purchase of controlling stock in the Salonica railroad held by French interests have been successfully concluded, according to a consular report received. As a result the strike of railroad workes called last month has been settled.

Applicants for I n s u r ance Often Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing Influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the Amer

ican people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the Richmond Palladium. Advertisement.

ALCOHOL ON KIDNEYS

PUT STOMACH IN FINE CONDITION

Says Indigestion Results from an Excess of Hydrochloric Acid.

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper-acidity meaning, there is an excess of hydrochloric acid in the

stomach which prevents complete di

gestion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the

stomach much like garbage sours in a

can, forming acrid fluids and gases

which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate soud food or have

heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or

nausea.

He tells us to lay aside all digestive

aids and instead, get from any phar

macy four ounces of Jad Salts and

take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink while It is effervescing and furthermore, to continue this for a week. While re
