A GREAT CROP.
The Packers and shippers are Being
Kept 80 l'usy They Cannot
Talk Politics.

The apple crop of this section is
far larger this year than was expect.
ed and in cpnseq uence the dealers
and shippers Of this city are up to
their ears in business. Around the
market house, ana on Second and
Third streets, at the packing places,
great crowds Of men are busy at
work taking care of the fruit brought
in by long lines of farm wagons.
This work is furnishing employment
to several hundred men, and will
continue 10 do so for some weeks to
come. This Is the packers busiest
season. Ii is feared that the burn
ing of t!leMeirhoffer eooperage plant
last night will cut short the supply
of barrels and cause the packers
trouble.
The principal apples now being
packed are of late varieties. The
earlier varieties have been exhaust
ed for some time and the winter va
rieties are being picked rapidly.
Most OF the apples being marketed
here this week are of the Ben Davis
and winesap varieties. The price
ranges from 90 cents to 1925 a bar
rel. The average price is $1.1o.
Apple barrels are of a standard size
now, and held three bushels. For
merly they held only eleven peeks.

Feeding Soaked Wheat TO Pigs.

A stockman in an exchange gives
his experience in feeding wheat to
pigs. He says:
[ have been experimenting a little
in wheat feeding this season, not
with steers but with pigs. Early in
May | commenced feeding forty-two
head of pigs, weighing about 81
pounds, giving them about all the
wheat they would eat up clean, in
addition TO about so gallons per day
of skim and buttermilk, and the run
of a clover field. The wheat was
soaked until soft, and very often had
begun to sprout. Allowing the milk
and grass to produce Is pounds per
day of gain, | had II to Is pounds
CT gain for each bushel of wheat fed.
Finding that considerable of the
wheat passed through the pigs with
out being digested, | concluded to
try having it ground. I commenced
feeding ground wheat, in connection
with skim milk and dry corn, on
June 81, the pigs having at that date
reached an average weight of 1873
pounds. In the twenty eight days
following they ate % bushels ground
wheat, 45 bushels dry corn and 40
to so gallons per day skim milk and
buttermilk. In this time the lot
made a gain of LOO pounds. l
credit the milk with 450 pounds,
leaving 730 pounds TO show for the
53 bushels of wheat, or about ii
pounds per bushel. The pigs are
not excessively fat, but plump, &C.
tive and vigorous, and in splendid
condition for future feeding.

P. S. Faddis is feeding 80 head of
good cattle. The Brown Bros.
bought several good mules at Har-

son has bought about 800 head OF
cattle and taken them to Cedar
county to feed. He gets his corn at
80 and 35 cents. Robt. Smith, of

cattle to James Starr at $3.50 per
hundred; weight 1,59S4 pounds.
Mr.. Starr has since sold the cattle
at Sc. Tucker & Owens paid Sc.
80 for is head of 2-yeai old Christ
mas cattle near Laddonia last week.
They are daisies, having been Jed
two years and are the pick out of
so. Messrs. Tucker, Given, Green
and Cook made neat little money
on the Wright-C raighead cattle last
week. Sc head sold for $6.15 in
Chicago and the tail 40 head brought
Sc. The cattle averaged about
1,525 pounds. Tucker IL Green
bought 81 head of cattle Monday
from p. S. Faddis at $500. This
is a good round price, but the cattle
are extra good ones. Mr.. Faddis
makes good money on them and we
trust that Messrs. Green & Tucker
will also get a handsome profit.
Mr.. J. w. Jennings has four COWS

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably
adapted to the purposes for which it
is intended, as Chamberfain's Pain
Balm. Hardly a week passes bat
some member of the family has need
of 1t. A toothache or headache may
be cured by it. A touch of rheuma-
tism or neuralgia quieted. The severe
pain of a burn or scald promptly re-
lieved and the sore healed In much
less time than when medicine has to
be sent for. A sprain may be prompt
ly treated before Inflammation sets in,
which insures a cure in about one
third of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive inn
mediate treatment before the parts
become swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm Is kept at hand.
A sore throat may be cured before it
becomes serious. A troublesome corn
may be removed by applying it twice
n day for II week or two. A lame back
may be cured and several days of val
liable time saved or 81 pain in the side
or chest relieved without paving a
doctor bill. Procure a so cent bottle

The SenatOr Talks on the Political Sit.
uation-Predicts Hills Election.

SEDALIA, No., Sept. 30.-Sena-
tor Vest arrived home yesterday
evening from Washington. En-
route he avoided reporters and re-
fused to be interviewed. Last night
he gave his views on the political
situation, and after he had revised
the interview in was printed this
morning in the Sunday Democrat.
The main points set forth are as
follows:
Coming into power" said the
Senator, when a great panic was
commencing, the Democrats have
been held responsible for depression
which they did not cause and for
laws they did not enect. If any
man." he said, twill point to a
single law passed by us which could
by any reasonable Judgment be held
to have brought about the disaster
and ruin of the recent past, | will
vote the Republican ticket"
The Senator predicted the election
of Hill, whom he considers a most
remarkable man. Continuing, he
said: 81 do not regard Hill as n
great man or as the possessor OF a
J great intellect, but he is a great
worker, without any appetites or
passions, and is what you might
} term a political corporation. Gov.
Hill represents the fighting Dem
} ocracy of New York. He voted
against the tariff bill on account OF
} the income tax and not because he
objected to its provisions as to tariff
| duties on sugar or anything else.
| He agreed with German and Brice
on every part of the bill except the
. income tax. To that he YVES ir-
D revocably opposed for two reasons;
l first, because he wanted to strength
en- himself with the business men
I and capitalists Of New York, who
had always been against him and
for Cleveland; second, because he
s didn't want to drive from the Dem
ocratic party in New York the mer
t who make liberal subscriptions fol
: campaigns. Hill is a practical pol.
itician, and if he has any sentiment
S it is hatred to Cleveland. He de
. termined not to give up his hold il
S New York, whatever might happen
G and he played the opposition there
e to tie income tax as his trump
y card. AS to Tammany, which rules
S the party in New York, it is govern
a ed by the sachems, who are eithe,
d rich men now Or expecting to bt
S rich. The rank and file of that or
g~anization receive their orders anC
n obey without question. OF cours'
# the Tammany leaders are agains
e the income tax and Hill knew it
It New York politics is a strange bust
o ness and money is the principa
b factor. Morton will be bled unit
he will give up no more and Hill
will have all the money he needs
also. | think Hill will beat him
