Feeding Hogs.


Never before in the quarter of century last
past has the farmer more needed to study best
methods in all the departments of his business,
and the most rigid economy in the practice of
his methods. The improvident Micawber Illus
trated that the difference between happiness and
misery might be trfling difference between the
debt and credit side of the account, one shilling
of profit being happiness, one shilling of loss be-
ing misery. Debt Is species OF slavery. To
enjoy full sense Of freedom, owe no man any
thing Writing this, have in mind the short
est and cheapest way to get hogs ready for
market It is not the largest hogs that are the
most in demand by either shippers or con-
snmers There Is risk in curing hams and
shoulders taken from hogs of great size. and
even when they come though well cured
they do not bring the best price, as the consumer
looks upon them with suspicion and chooses the
smallersized hams and shoulders even at
higherprice. Those taken from hogs that weighed
from 200 to $50 pounds are bought more readily
from the provision stores than the enormous
ones from hogs that weighed from 400 to 600
pounds. There is no doubt that the farmer can
make more money out of his hogs by feeding to
the lighter weight A hog will not cease to
grow short of three or four years, but the growth
of the first few months of his life is the most
rapid. 1t is comparatively easy, If the right
breeds are kept, to bring hogs up to 200 or $50
pounds, but to carry them much beyond this
weight or to 400 or 500 pounds requires time and
feed all out Of proportion.

in March or April than can be made from pigs
that come at any other season of the yea, The
early spring pigs will be ready tc Craze on clover
or other grass as soon as the grass Is ready, and
but little more will be needed until the corn is
ready to feed in September. The general
weather conditions from March to December are
the most favorable in all the life of the
hog for his growth and thrift The time
of extreme heat may be thought of as
possible exception to this statement, and care
and caution are needed to tide them over this
pest;lence breeding period. Corn alone or even
with grass, Is too heating. Experience has
shown that their health may be preserved their
growth continued and even fat laid on through
the hot months, by generous feeding of Stops
with wheat bran as principal basis. A moder
ate use of corn may be allowed with advantage,
but the forcing process should not begin until
the new corn is ready to feed in September.

for new August, after opening at z9sc The adj
vance 20 the highest point named was steady,
and was attended by more or less local excite
ment. New York, considering the movement
purely local affair, took but little stock in its
being anything near permanent, and did not re-
sp0nd TO any great extent The feeling here was
that 1t was rather too sudden to be lasting, and
this helped to bring out some rather free offer
ings, but after the bulge was fairly inaugurated.
the August option did not, for an hour, go below
79sc. keeping very steady around soc until after
IL o'clock, when it began to ease down, falling
back to 79sc, and fuctuating around 793c The
official announcement of a decrease in the visible
supply of 1,265, 900 blu wheat, 326, 900 bu corn,
and 205, 900 Blu oats. raised Ii few points.
When buying was at all active it was SO sharp
that heavy purchases could not be traced in any
particular direction or to any special house.
Offerings came out IN much the same
way, being well divided up between the
crowd. The close as / o'clock was active and
moderately steady. A fair trade was had in
corn, and a particularly lively one in oats Both
sold higher, corn at one time being &c over
Fridays closing 1t was reported that oats
were being bulled and bought for manipulatiye
purposes, but there was probably no foundation
for this. August sold at q 02sc over Fridays
closing prices. but toward the close reacted
few points One of the steady articles early
to-day was pork An active trade was had in
all kinds of hog products, but prices changed
very little for an hour or so after the opening,
which was a good 15c over Friday, but after the
decline was quite steady, and from $40 30 for

The wholesale Market Tame and Featureless
Wheat Strong, and Corn and Oats Higher.
INDIANAPOLIS July g. +.
The wholesale markets to-day were quiet and
featureless. as might be expected after three
days adjournment of the produce and CONNER
cial exchanges. But few of those who absented
themselves from the city for pleasure have re-
turned, and those who have were hardly in a
doing business mood. Taken as a whole bust
ness was tame. A trip through the various
marts of trade developed but few changes in
quotations. Sugars rule steady and strong, and
the same remark will apply to the coffee market
In the produce circles there was something do
ing and prices were much the same as at the
close of last week. Reports from the East are
unfavorable for the poultry mar
ket Hens and chickens are off
a little. Eggs, as WELL are weak. Butter
is firm at our best quotation. Both the hide
and leather markets are In strong position, but
not quotably changed. Crops continue to prom
Use well. The new wheat will begin to move
briskly within the next ten days. The wheat
market is attracting a good deal of attention
The more hopeful are claiming that the turn in
wheat has at last come, and come to stay, so far
as any more tremendously low prices are con
cerned The export demand continues to show
up remarkably, and il begins to be believed that
American wheat is again leading feature Of
the European markets. The clearances OF wheat
from New York have again been large, in spite
of the bear theory that the markets abroad are
