STOCK AND FARM.

National Stockman; Hogs which have
been fed and finished upon wheat alone
are now coming into our fat stock mar
kets, and one Of the important features
Of this new departure in the production
OF pork Is being put to practical test.
AS far as observations 90 the results are
not what has been claimed for them by
many who have been enthusiastic on the
matter of feeding wheat Hogs which
have been fed wheat alone are not the
best sellers that are now placed upon
the market. Buyers discriminate against
them. not because they have been fat
tened upon wheat, but because they do
net show that fine finish and ripe condi-
ton that strictly corn-fed hogs always
show. 1t will do to grow and partially
finish hogs on wheat, but the finishing
touches must be made with corn, If high
est prices are expected
Kansas City, Mo, Journal The com.
bined efforts of packers to force prices
Of hogs down for the opening of the
winter packing season the first of next
month is meeting with abundant success
This is living illustration of what Or
ganizatlon and concentration can accom-
plish in manipulation Of the market,
even with the crops against them. Tha
number of hogs back in the country il
much short of year ago, and there is
a scarcity of corn and it is high, which
should mean bullish hog market, but
on the contrary, there has been Il de-
cline within the past two weeks of 10000
cents per cwt. The result is the re-
ceipts are light and should continue so,
as the news from the feed lots warrant
no such break in prices, and there is a
general belief that hogs will be both
scarce and high later in the season.
Several apple buyers from Chicago
and other eastern cities arrived in Kan
sas City, Kan, to start on a tour of Wy
andotte county for the purpose of buy
ing up all the apples in the entire coun-
ty. There arc very few orchards in the
county from which the apples have been
taken, and it is the intention of the
eastern purchasers to buy the fruit in
the orchards and gather it afterwards.
Wyandotto county is one OF the heavi-
est fruit-growing counties in the state,
and, according to all reports the yield
this year will be much larger than it has
been for many years There are Or
chards in this county that will yield as
high as $4,000 bushels. j. X. P. Baker,
an extensive fruit.growor near Six-Mile,
says that the apple yield on his orchard
last year was 10000 bushels, but he ex-
poets to reach $4,000 bushels this year.
There are several other orchards which
will yield from 10000 to $4,000 bushels.

calf il born give the COW about two
quarts of cold water. Linseed and

to b . good diet, strengthening the
cow and promoting the dow Of milk.
