COTTON.

New York, April N.-The cotton market
opened with prices l 10 points lower, this
being an Indifferent response to unfavor
able English cables, to bearish crop ac-
counts and to reports of still better ell
matte conditions over the entire belt. Not
withstapding that trade was confined 10
narrow limits and late advices from Liv-
erpOOl showed additional weakness at that
point a healthy ndertone prevailed dur
ing the forenoon with prices holding
teady. Not liking the resistance shown by
the market TO ebarish influences, shorts
covered quietly in a number Of instances.
Aweu known Greek firm absorbed offer
ings Of the August position quite freely,
this being a continuance of yesterdays
operations. Private Liverpool cables re-
flected a pessimistic undertone TO senti-
mAnt abroad, as a result Of the encourag-
ing crop and weather news from this side.
The official bulletin noted mild -tempera-
ture and an absence of rain throughout
the cotton region, with the outlook favor

HOG MARKET STEADY
Good Supply Of Wagon Hogs
and Quality Fair.
VERY DULL CAR TRADING
Two Cars of Fine Cattle Sold
General Notes.

The hog market yesterday in point Of
actual trading was very quiet, especially
so as regards the car stuff. The wagon
trade was heavy and was bought up
promptly and two cars Of yarded hogs
were also sold. The quotation for the day
was given as steady and this was in con-
formity with all other markets. The
quality of hogs transferred was very fair
and they brought good prices in every in
stance. The early demand was good and
the large line Of local stuff was quickly
sold and always at steady prices Later
IN the day, however, when the car offer
ings appeared there was a stagnation in
the trade and the market became ufeless.
Several cars Of very fair hogs went I'M
sold, some OF which viii cross the scales
this morning. The demand dropped off in
the afternoon and there was little doing
the balance n the day. There were a
few loads which were sorted and the cut
outs sold on the market, and all local
stuff was handled at once. One car sold
at $3.50 and one at Sc. Az, with a bunch
out Of another car selling at the s..
mark. The latter lot was of heaVies and
the other two medium and light The
bulk Of the wagon hogs sold around $40
and s.. -, and they were mostly pretty
good stock. 1t was hardly a Quotable day
and the comparisons are of little conse-
QUence. Dold bought about all the wagon
receipts and both cars which sold and
the prices paid were very satisfactory for
what was handled.

MUNYON'S:
RHEUMATISM

short. If rains come and the grass again
is sufficient feed, cover up the silo and
wait for the next drouth or for winter.
Many dairvmen have neither grain, al
falfa. nor siIage and should put in crops
this spring that will supply green feed
when the drouth comes Plan today.
Green wheat, green oats and green millet
are good. but last only a short time. Be-
aIu cutting these crops as soon as the first
heads appear and continue until the stalks
begin 10 harden. Sweet corn comes early,
and is a good producing feed, but
the yield is too small. Field corn, kaffir
corn and sorghum are the most profitable
green crops for the Kansas dalryman
who does not have alfalfa.
Below are given the average dates at
which the various crops are available as
green feed for dairy cows on the college
farm:
Alfalfa-May % to September 30.
Wheat-June l to Is.
Oats-Jme VI TO 80
Sweet corn-July u to 81
Field corn-August to September 20.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to September so.
Kaffir cOrn-Auguet l to September 30.
Wheat-Fall pasture until ground
freezes.
Many write asking how many acres of
each crop is needed. This season, soil and
thoroughness of cultivation affect the
yield so much that we cannot answer
these questions. Green crops are most
needed in dry summers, and in estimating
the acreage required for a herd, plans
should made to have an ample supply
for a very dry year In a good year the
surplus can be cured for winter. With
these considerations, we have made the
following estimate Of the number Of acres
of each crOD REQUIRED to feed our thirty
cows for the period during which the crop
is available: Alfalfa 10, wheat 8, oats 3,
sweet corn 3. ED corn 4, sorghum 3, and
L fir corn
