Hogs on Their Merits.

CHICAGO, Aug. s.-There has been
much dissatisfaction among commission
dealers at the stock yards fer long time
over the operation of the shrinkage sys-
tenn in the sale of hogs. Under it pack
ers could contract for g drove of hogs
and then send in a man who would ar
bItrarily decide that so many were what
is known as "piggy sows" and "stags,"
from whose aggregate weight about
forty pounds each was shrunk or dock
ed, and there was no appeal, and the
loss was charged to the former A short
time ago the live stock exchange passed
a rule that hereafter hogs should be sold
on their merits; that these throwouts
must be selected In advance of the sale
and taken out OF the herd to be sold sep
aratelY on their merits, also entirely do
ing away with shrinkage in order tC
give time for negotiations with packers
The rule was not then put in force a. nc
agreement was reached. The commits
sion men resolved to put the rule il
force, beginning tomorrow.

THE 0OMTNG STATE FAIR.


This is undoubtedly good year for
very fine State Fair, both for our own en-
tertaiument and profit and as an adver-
tisement to others OF what we really are
and can do. The facts are striking.
While there Is more or less a financial
scare in all the states east of US, we alone
seeem to be in situation where nothing
can hurt US very seriously. We i'm
agined we had very good corn and
wheat crop last year, and we really had,
and got good deal of money first and
last for it. It was nothing 70 boast of
compared with the yield this year. The
stock interest has increased correspond
ingly, and the state with her immense
resources in natural pasturage and feed
is looked upon as q source of supply in
all the better grades of stock for the i'm
mense grazing region southwest of us.
1t is intended this year by the mana.
gers to make the State Fair at Topeka a

all the fashionable kinds and classes,
and there will be new facilities for the
display of our own best animals, horses,
cattle, sheep and swine.
The AtchIson, Topeka s. Santa Fe
road, considering its interests identical
with those of the farmers and stock
growing community, has taken the mi
alive in placing its rate to the fair at one
cent per milo. 1t is expected that all the
principal lines will do the same. 1t IL
evident that this is not done as a specu
