MARKETS

GRAIN PRICES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank BulldinoCHICAGO. Feb. 14. Strength in corn the leading feature. The various . factors are such as to cause continued support to maintain a large part of the advance. There were expert corn sales and buying of futures by the seaboard although the advance was not followed. Receipts are light and offerings increasing on the bulge bringing hedges of purchases. We continue to tavor purchase of corn on dips. Some lalk that it may go to 80 cents. Wheat Sews slow. Cash strength leads. Green bugs reported in southern Illinois. Wheat easily follows corn.

The Farm .By WILLIAM BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN That the proper kind of mineral mixtures can be fed to swine with great benefit is undeniable. But what are proper mineral mixtures? What mineral elements does a hog require to completely balance his ration in feed lot practice? Which of the foods ordinarily fed provide the necessary mineral elements, or any of them? With what rations must minerals be given, for best results? These are all important questions, and have been the cause of numerous experiments and investigations by our best equipped chemists at all the state universities in the corn belt. Many practical and observant feeders have I also experimented in this direction have tnelr own formulaSi dependlng on the ciaSg of ratj0ns they are feeding and other conditions, the kind of green forage supplied, etc. Have Much To Learn. After referring to numerous experiments and investigations by the most competent authorities, John M. Evvard of the Iowa experiment station says: "As a matter of fact our applied practical information on mineral elements for swino, from the experiment station point of view, is appallingly small. There are a lot of notions current in regard to this general proposition, but these are not corroborated by definite unmistakable, experimental evidences." This is an unsatisfactory statement at best, except for the Inference that these various experiments should fia l-'aHy result in a dependable formula. I r... i , , . ..,- usually covered in our ordinary rations by the addition of calcium, sodium, chlorine and phosphorus. The calcium is usually furnished in the form of pure lime; sodium and chlorine in the form of common salt, and phosphorus as bone meal, which also carries calcium. In ordinary practice it would seem that straight bone meal and salt should carry all these necessary elements." TOBACCO DELIVERY BREAKS RECORD; ONE CROP 25,000 POUNDS ELDORADO. O.. Fob. 14 The largest amount of tobacco that ever has been delivered is expected to come into Eldorado Tuesday when the crops recently bought are delivered to the i Eldorado warehouses. Buyers have been active in that region lately and deliveries will be made at Eldorado, Feb. 14 and 22, and at New Madison Feb. 23. Besides the crops listed in a previous issue, additional crops, as fol lows, have bsen bought: J. W. Anderson. 2,200; E. L. Ninke. 4.000; Perry Jones, 5.000; D. M. Brubaker, 3.000; J. A. Broderick, 3,400; George Holsapple, 2.000; B. F. Allbright, 9,700; Harry Lawrence. 4,500; F.

The last named is the largest crop of the season and the growers state that it will even exceed the estimate of 25,000 pounds. The total of these crops is 96,900 pounds, and with sales previously recorded, will make a total of about 350.000 pounds for this region of the Miami tobacco country.

and Farmer R. SANBORN Through the courtesy of Profs. J. M. Evvard and M. H. Knudion, of the Iowa experiment station, we are just in receipt of "three simple mixtures" to be kept before hogs in the feed lot, as follows: No. 1: Equal parts of weight of lime and salt, or of wood ashes and salt. No. 2: Equal parts of weight of lime, salt and bone meal. Bone black, may be substituted for bone meal, the later also carrying animal charcoal. No. 3: "This mixture carries most of the essential elements : Common solt, flake form, 30 pounds; bone meal, finely ground, or bone flour, 25 pounds; commercial kainit, or potassura chloride, 12 pounds; flowers of sulphur, 10 pounds; finely ground lime stone, or air-slacked lime, 10 pounds; glauber salts or sodium sulphate 5.7 pounds; epsom salts or magnesium sulphate, five pounds; copperas, or iron sulphate, two pounds; potassium iodide, 0.3 pounds total 100 pounds. Fed In Self-Feeders. Where these mixtures are fed in self-feeders the professors recommend that they be mixed "with a 60 percent protein meat meal tankage. This is to encourage the hogs to eat the minerals, and enough of it, "ranging at from five to 60 pounds of tankage per hundred weight of the mixtures; regulating the consumption by the amount of the tankage mixed with the mixture." "Generally speaking, we would advise that ono pound of minimal mixture per hog per month be fed." This indicates one-fourth of a pound per pig per week, in addition to the tankage mixed in and consumed with the minerals. The experiments are continuous at the Iowa station. Chemists are at work on all the chemistry of feeds and of the mineral salts in their contents, also of those which may beneficially be used by live stock growers. Discoveries along this line of interest and benefit to our readers will be found in this department, as soon as announced.

WHEAT GROWERS ADOPT CO-OPERATIVE SALE PLAN CHICAGO. Feb. 14. A co-operative plan for selling of wheat was adopted yesterday by the executive board of i i the National Association of Wheat' j vxruw trrs. jicuiut'rs ui tut- uua.ru ediu j the plan would mean the saving of approximately 55 cents a bushel through elimination of the middleman's profit. The growers plan to establish central receiving stations in each state where farmers may send their wheat and obtain a receipt. From these elevators the wheat will be sold direct to the millers. Stations for receiving wheat also will be established at ail large seaports to handle export trade.

PROFIT ON CATTLE IMPERATIVE STATES INSTITUTE SPEAKER

CAMPBELLSTOWN. O.. Feb. 14 "We must get a higher price per pound for our finished cattle than we pay for them, if we are to make ex penres," said W. H. Pew, of Ravenna, O.. former animal husbandry instructor at Ohio State university, speaking at the C'ampbellstown institute Saturday. "The price per pound that is paid now will not pay for the cost of the feed and labor of fattening them, so there must be a spread between the price of feeders and of finished cattle." Stating that, contrary to usual belief, the nicest cattle were not the most profitable feeders. Pew raid. "Other things being equal. I would buy poorly conditioned animals at a price insuring a spread, before I would pay a premium for better ones, with the chance of selling them at the same price." Buchanan Speaks. J. I Buchanan, of Alliance, O., was another institute speaker, his subject being "My Successes and Failures." He announced at this time his withdrawal from the institute as he i no longer engaged in farming. Several songs by Lester Benham, a farmer of Jackson township, were a genuinely enjoyed feature of the afternoon entertainment, as evidenced by his encores. Voting upon the program of Instruction for the next institute, those attending made first choice of stock raising, second choice, soils and crops, for farm work subjects; and first choice, house equipment and management, second choice, social and civic duties and relations, for home making projects. Other subjects voted upon were: Dairying, poultry husbandry, horticulture, truck-gardening, food problems, textiles and clothing, and sanitation. Dinner was served by the Ladles Aid society of Campbelistown, which realized over $100 from the two days meals furnished. At the end of the institute, the food which had been unused was auctioned off and a nice sum realized from this source also. OHIO FARM OFFICIAL TALKS HERE THURSDAY At the request of the Wayne Township Farmers' association, through its president. R. D. Morrow, the secretary of the Ohio State Farm bureau, Murray D. Lincoln, has been secured to address the people of Wayne, county in the auditorium of the senior high school Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock. All who are interested in milk, either at the farm or city end. are urged to attend and hear Mr. Lincoln as he will speak upon milk problems of production and distribution. He is an authority upon the latter factor, as, before he was given his present office, he organized some of the biggest cooperative milk distributing plants in the East. Lincoln Is being brought here by the farmers' association because of the recent organization of the milk producers into the Richmond Milk Producers' association, and because of the desire of the farmers' association to collaborate in working out a solution of the dairymen's difficulties. FEEDER CALVES ARE GIVEN TO YOUNGSTERS GREENVILLE, O.. Feb. 14. Eighteen of the prize winning calves recently purchased for the Darke County Fair board at the Denver catele show, which have for the past two weeks been quartered at the 6tables on the fair grounds, were Saturday allotted to the boys and girls who are to feed them during the summer for the contetst which terminates at the county fair, to be held here next August. There are still 12 of the calves awaiting allotment, owing to the fact that the roads leading to Greenville from several parts of the country were impassable, and the boys and girls could not get to this city. These will be called for later. Following is the list of the contestants already listed who got their calves Saturday: Margaret Baughman, Ansonia; Clyde Hoff, New Madison; Harmon Baughman. Ansonia.
