! the main fault is that the majority of the
! growers and feeders do not feed their hogs
! long enough, and sell too soon, the re-

! too many cases. However, he says II Is
more and more getting to be the case
that the farmers are putting in high grade

the natural outcome of this will soon see
a new crop Of better class and higher
! grade hogs.

are doing well and larse crop of them
IN sight.

yards this season, sending up the best
the country could produce.

The average weight of the hogs arriving
the past few days has been steadily going
upward. which means that the flow of
1ipbfS which hapa n mn OH

mally high price at once rushes in all
there is to be had in the country, good,
bad, and Indifferent; and with the lower
ing of prices, better hogs at once COM
mence 10 come in.
