men are gradually bettering the grade Of
their stock, and as consequence more sat-
isfactory result are attained and greater
profits accrue to the owner. 1t costs little II
aey more to raise fine hogs and cattle, than
it does to breed the ordinary kind, and
when it comes to profits arising from the
sales. there is no comparison.
Yesterday the writer had pleasant con-
versation with Mr.. j. II. Rose, prominent
farmer OF Alton township, and by the way
good Republican too. Mr.. Rose says that
the farmers in his township are through
harvesting, aud are now threshing their
grain, which is not turning out quite as well
as was expected. Wheat will average
about thirty-four bushels per acre and
oats about fifty. Corn is badly needing
rain, and it will be an immense crop ii not
pinched by the dry weather. In speaking
OF the political situation he says that the
people OF Alton would favor the forming Of
an entirely new state constitution, but II
they can't get that they would now vote, as
they did few years ago, in favor OF the
prohibitory amendment il the question was
again submitted to them. He further stated
that his township will cast nearly solid
vote for DIR. Allen, nearly all the Demo-
Gratis, or at least large number OF them in
that township, favoring lis election.
