TO the Editor af The Chicago 1Ff6uns:
Most Of us arc fattening moro or less hogs
for market. Can ne afford to sell at present
prices? We hll know TINT we cannot. Our corn
is not more than q fourth of q crop Of salablo
corn, Every b,lshel that ne are feediug to
our hogs would DO worth 30 to rs cents
that farmers will continue to rush their hoga on
tho market. and koop continual glut, and have
TO take half what they ought to hayc for them.
We arc NIL complaining Of hard times, but that
times hard with us. . Lot is hold
on. and study the matter little. We have the
| wholo thing in cur own hands. We can raise the
price Of pork in thrco weeks from tlteo to si1
will pay US for pork. We can do this by koopine
! our hogs at homo until they are wanted
at that price. If tho packers want them
at that price, lot them come and got them and
take the Job Of fighting tho railroads OF ous
let US salt tlom ut homo. We can make az good
could couli - not ' salt tAA bis ! s OWE l boys,
soma could aalt more than their own
aud in that way We can realize moro for our hogt
!
| got al tho pay for them as aoon aa wo perhaps
would from tho packers; but we could gel
money on them as soon rs the,
are salted, and the balance in thirty
to sixty days, and there will bo twice as much ol
| It when We do get it. The hog crop this seasor
il not large one, for tic reason that last yoarE
corn crop was tho largeat over produced, ane
| moro hogs have becn produced and matured ant
sent to market since last spring than eve,
Doiore during the warm aeason. Lot us thor
hold our hog1, and not sell my after, say. th'
ought to be. Thop, IL tho packers do not wan
them al .our price, lot us salt them down to th,
last shout.
Farmers, try It. Set your own price on you
| own produce, now or nover. A, LEWIS.
