Hog Cholera Losses.

Losses by hog cholera are greatly
magnified by statistical writer's. Or.
such, taking the II per cent loss from
this source for 1893 in this state, figures
out tremendous money loss and ex-
presses the wonder how Iowa farmers
can manage to keep out Of bankruptcy
and sustain such losses. While cholera
losses are bad enough, they warrant nc
such conclusions. The bulk of the hogs
which die from cholera are young pigs
from one to three months old, the
average value of which is nearer 81 pei
head than 80 AZ the statisticians figure
Again, when pork is selling at 1925 ano
corn at 30 cents, it is pretty nearly an
even thing. with little or no profit in the
fatted hog. We have repeatedly known
cases where the corn fed to drove OF
hogs would,have brought as much money
as the hogs did when fatted and sold
Cholera is the only thing which limits
over production of the hog. II we were
free from it, the hogs would go anyway
for the price of hogs would surely drop
to point where it would be unproti-
table to raise them. % cent corn and
$3.50 hogs is combination which will
not work on the Iowa farm.

Store Butter.

The western representative of a number
Of large eastern butter concerns told us
lately that Notwithstanding all the howl
about oleomargarine as fraudulent and
hurtful competitor of genuine butter
there was still worse one about which
but little was said and that what Ii
known as store butter-the aggregated
and odorous product of unskilled butter
makers on Iowa farms which, traded fol
tobacco and tea on a soap-grease basis
to the country storekeeper, was by him
shipped to the cities and there melted
deodorized, chemicalized and embalmed
later appearing on the market as fine
fresh creamery goods. This being
genuine butter, escapes the restrictions
and penalties attaching to the sale OF
oleomargarine, while it is at the same
time an infinitely less legitimate and
healthful food product. This man fur
ther said that every woman who made
butter to sell at the store was an enemy
to the legitimate dairy business, he, OF
course, excepting the few who MAJ
really fine goods for the home market
