Mr.. Reveley. travelling salesman for the
Dold company, was IN at headquarters
yesterday on business.
The Stock Yards company are putting
in their yearly supply Of hay In the barns.
II Is all baled and of extra fine quality.
Several hundred tons will be housed be-
fore the work Is com pleted.
The shipments OF the Dold company yes
terday were mainly 10 the south The
local jobbing trade had several cars out
besides some express matter. The city
sales this past week were the best IL
several weeks several OF tn company's
specialties having high standing for their
Keeping qualities and this hot weather
makes them IN great demand The wagon
trade and jobbing business IS also very
heavy being often obliged to ship by ex-
press to get the stock out more quickly.
Their superior docks and track room en-
able them 70 load their cars with the
most prompt and thorough dispatch, their
rule being to fill all orders the same day
as received.
Yesterday witnessed another advance in
provisions, and the old explanation was
used this time in the opposite or bull side,
and that is the hoary and venerable ghost
entitled. Better strength because Of de-
NAL of yellow fever rumors from Texas"
For once this was made to do service
on the bull side but usually we get
used to hearing that the market suffered
a break because Of repeated rumorS of
yellow fever from Texas. As a matter
of calm fact, not half the time has there
been any such rumor, and if there had il
Is not sufficient reason for a wild panic
in the provision pit. Phil. Armour few
days ago said in an interview that ne
scoffed at the idea of the fever injuring
the provision trade at all, that in fact
1t helped It If anything, since old man
ners of living were at once revolutionized,
and the afflicted dection lived mainly on
the products of the packeries> Be that
as it may, all dealers and Spectators
know It TO be g. fact that the bear Gle
ment use this bugaboo as club to pound
down prices whenever it suits their con-
venience. If some negro in the south gets
cramps and a plain, unromantic attack
Of stomach ache out comes the mob with !
shot gun quarantine, and the wires are
hot with fearful tales of a whole section !
having been exposed to yellow fever. This |
is getting to be a worn and frazzled night |
mare operated with invariable effect by !
the Chicago Board of Trade operators. |
who are ON the short side and determine |
to depreSs the market.
Buffalo Express: A nearby farmer |
short time ago killed four S1a months old |
pigs, which weighed together over 1900 |
pounds. He disposed of them for five !
cents a pound, realizing over $50. An
other farmer of my acquaintance killed |
a kept-over hog WHICH tipped the scales
at $50 pounds. He sold it for AZ cents,
and got $3.50 as his entire investment.
The first mans pigs gave him for his
feeding about one pound and three ounces
Of meat a day from each pig; the other
man received one pound day from his
hogs; in other words they gained these
amounts daily for the entire time they
wed Inc pigs gained nearly three |
ounces a day more than the hogs; they
brought half a cent moro a pound than
he hogs, with the advantage of feeding
title more than half the time with the
,igs, The ancestral hog has had his day.
The pig which will dress 800 to 375 pounds
Il to 10 months of age is the coming
log.
NEW BREED OF HOGS.
A new breed recently introduced in the
south, called the Thin Rind, is deserv-
dly popular for family use because of
he tendency of these hogs to make mar
lie meat" or a "streak of lean and
freak of fat" TIE best breakfast bacon
S said to be made from the sides OF
hese hogs. In color they are black. but
around the shoulders. They
re tall and thin, mature early, and have
greater proportion of lean meat in the ,
middlings" than other breeds. It is prob
BILE that this breed will come more and
more into popularity as the fondness for I
reakfast bacon grows.-Prof. ]. B. Kille- ,
