GRAIN PRICES .. - fMarkets by Lamson Bros. & Co, 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO. Oct. 26 All grains show ed a firm undertone during the early part of the session and secoveredto new high levels since the recent break 'On the late bulge commission houses supplied the requirements of prodessional shorts and a quick re-action occurred in the last half hour. The strength in Liverpool and Winnepeg, and a private report reducing the Austrailian exportable surplus as recently estimated by Broomhall at 80 million to 40 million was factor in the early advance. The late decline was created to the arival of a cargo of Canadian wheat here. "While local sentiment all day was somewhat bearish, as a result of the car order issued late yesterday requiring the early unloading of western cars and there return to western roads. There was however, a firmer feeling in cash grain, and it is believed that a sub stantial amount of export business was worked particularly in rye and corn.

KIWANIANS ENJOY "HARD TIME" PARTY Clad in attire portraying hard times, members of the Kiwanis club, their friends and families, staged an unusually fine party with the spirit of the Halloween season m tne k. oi r. temftle Wednesday night. The program was so arranged that those who attended were required to wear old apparel. The men decked themselves in overalls and the ladies in house dresses. A banquet was served to start off the evening's entertainment after which a style show was held under the direction of Bert Kolp. The show was more or less of a burlesque. A revolv ing turn-table was used and the models displayed their hard times "wearing apparel in a most unique manner. Many prizes were won by the guests present and several members , of the club turned out in impersonations which were clever. E. E. Smith, of Toledo, was the premier fun maker of the evening. He makes this his profession and he made a great evening of it for all present.

Coming at this time, his new freedom brings to mind the fact that he was released from confinement while undergoing a similar punish ment in 1918 in order that he could participate in the election of that year. Reports that Premier Bonar Law in his expected reform of administrative department might regulate the works of ministry of labor to some other department have strongly aroused the leaders of the labor party, who will vigorously oppose any such change. The labor ministry, founded in a small way in 1916, has grown to be a big department with an annual expenditure of almost 5,000000 for salaries and allowances alone.

The Farm and By William R.

SOUTH AFRICAN CATTLE LOWER A recently returned missionary from South Africa addressed the conference of the Congregational mission board at Chicago, on Tuesday, and cited tne fact that South African cattle had declined in value as compared to prewar days, when a man could buy a wife in that country for five head of cattle, whereas at this time it takes seven cattle to swing the deal. "This increased- cost of buying wives, ana the increased cost of living," said Rev. Ralph L. Abraham, of Natal, "is making jthe African restless, because there is no corresponding increase in wages." Here we see the working out of that ancient law of supply and demand. Compared to wives the surplus of cattle has been increasing, hence the shifting in relative values among the benighted blacks. It further appears that they have a labor and wage question in Natal, on the other side of the globe. But a surplus of cattle in Africa cuts no Ice with the Indianapolis or Cincinnati live stock markets, so we may go serenely on witn our feeding. At Mr. Howard's Dinner J. R. Howard, president of the American farm bureau, gave a dinner to a number of notables, in Chicago, on Tuesday. Among his .guests were: J. Ogden Armour, Julius Barnes, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, Alexander Legge, the new president of the International Harvester, Thomas E. Wilson, the packer, George M. Reynolds and John J. Mitchell, two widely known Chicago bankers, and quite an array of conspic uous Chicagoans and westerners. It was hardly such a gathering as one might expect to see at .any kind of a farm bureau function, which goes to show that the general interest in the prosperity of the farmer is spreading and that his economic problems are being studied in banking and business circles, as never before. Of course there were speeches and resolutions, that being the central purpose of the dinner. , Now Mr. Legge of the Harvester company is an honorary member of the advisory board of the U. S. Grain Growers. As such he criticized the Chicago Board of Trade. He said that he understood that if the farmers' co-operaive grain selling organization should attempt to buy a seat on 1he Board of Trade, they would be refused, and he considered this unfair. At the close of thei speechmaking and comment, Thomas E. Wilson, the packer, presented a resolution asking that leaders in business present the facts about agriculture to business, banking and transportation interests of the entire country and enlist their support to correct present conditions. The resolution was adopted and a com. mittee of five Chicago business men was appointed for the work. Campaign in Henry County. The farm bureau campaign to increase the membership roll in Henry county was opened this week, with Ralph Test county agent, in charge of the work. Mr. Test is naming th'i various township managers and is busy stirring up enthusiasm. While a fight is being made to get new mem bers, no old members are to be overlooked. Renewals and cash payment of dues is considered of first importance, as the state farm bureau is expecting county secretaries to send in thf-ir membership lists, with the per harm Sale Calendar Friday, Oct. 27.

East and Bert DePrez, of Shelby county are members of the committee of arrangements for the Shelbyville corn show, to be held for three days at Shelbyville, beginning November 23. Mr. East is county agent and he says that the show will cover so much ground that an award of $1,200 will be made in premiums. Evidently, they expect to put on "some show" this year. Speaking of corn shows reminds us that the Wayne contestants in the five-acre corn contests are making good.

Trying Out Sweet Clover The results that dairy farmers have had in the growing of sweet clover for hay and pasture in the Chicago territory last summer indicate that this will eventually be an important crop in that section.

The wool of the Hampshire ranks very high in quality, is of light shrinkage and brings top prices. The weight of the clip is about the same as that of

the Shropshire." Great minds will differ In a degree. even the minds of the most expert poultrymen. For that reason various . fanciers feed different rations to their flocks. One successful breeder of fine laying strains has made a study of egg-laying rations for different classes of fowls and has reached the following conclusions: The best mash for stimulating egg production in hens of the general-purpose breeds, such as the Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes, is one that is not so rich in corn meal and meat scrap as those frequently fed to Leghorns. The best results with generalpurpose hens have been obtained with a mash containing only eighteen per cent of meat scrap with considexabla

ground oats and wheat bran. The entire mixture Is made up in the pro-j w portion of three parts of corn meali

one part of bran, one and a naif puts of meat scrap, one part of middlings. two parts of ground oats, and five per cent of linseed meal. As a result of using this feed the hens produced a good yield of eggs, but did not become overt at and were in good breed ing condition. "Leghorns and other breed of the same type can have a heavier and more stimulating ration without endangering their physical condition and the hatching quality of the eggs. A good mash for the Leghorn flock is made up of four parts bran, four parts middlings, 66 parts corn meal, and 26 parts of meat scrap. Barred Plymouth Rock pullets fed on this heavy masn laid a few more eggs than pullets of the same breed fed on the first mash, but they suffered in health and their eggs were lower in fertility."
