largely, and even up TO the period of fin
ishing for the market, on its natural
food. We need not say 10 any of our
readers that a succulent food in the form
OF grass is profitable in growing hogs.
They do not, however, as a rule, make
as large use of this cheap and easily
grown food as would be profitable. They
could with great profit SOW an acre or
two to rape and thus provide themselves
with a food that has been demonstrated
to be about as good for hogs as it is ac-
knowledged TO be for sheep. They add
very largely to the variety and excellence
of the diet Of the pig by growing pump
kins in their corn OF out of it, and thus
carry on the succulent food into the early
winter, and by growing hard shell
squashes and storing them in the cellar
might prolong it until February or
March. Contrary to the general opinion,
il does not pay to grow potatoes as
food for fattening hogs nor to feed beets
or mapgels 10 growing hogs except as
change from a whole corn diet or feed
ing brood sows for the narrowing pen.
Labor is too high and the cost of keep
ing through the winter is too great to JUS
tify any growth Of mangels, sugar beets
or carrots for use beyond this limit. It
does not follow, however, that roots, in
ferior or scabby potatoes are useless in
the hog pen. The conclusion we draw
is that the farmer should make a much
larger use of succulent food, especially
grass in the form Of clover, rape. pump
kns, and wormy apples, during the sum-
ner and fall season, and depend mainly
on corn for finishing his hogs for the
arlzet

HOGS VERY STRONG
Supply Was Light With a
Heavy Demand.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.10
Market Was Higher Than Any
Other in the West.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.1O

The supply Of hogs yesterday was very
small for Wednesday in December and
the market was a hot one for swine Of
al classes. The demand was exceedingly
strong and the local packers did not
secure nearly as many hogs for killing
purposes as they desired.
The market opened active and early
evidenced a rising tendency. The high
price Of Tuesday was maintained and late
in the afternoon the price took a jump
and hogs sold for $40, the highest price
which has been paid here for some time
Had some choice packers or butchers
hogs been placed on the market, it is
thought they would have brought "a. Is
easily.
The quality was but fair. There have
been but few choice hogs on the market
for some time. The reason Of this can
not De explained but this has been a
general complaint in all western mar
kets
The bad condition Of the roads are with
out q doubt responsible for the light sup
ply Of hogs IN a great measure. In the
country they are said TO be 80 bad that it
IS nearly impossible for the farmers to
would like to and the regular shippers all
over the country &ave found the same
difficulty.
The statistics furnished by authorities
on stock show that the supply this year
has been quite light. By some this is
attributed to the severe weather last
winter which, it is claimed, killed the
young pigs.
The supply Of wagon hogs yesterday
was also very light. This was Of course
due 70 the condition of the roads and few
are expected to come in until the roads
get in such q condition so that heavy
loads can be hauled.
The Wichita market was the best Of
any IN the vest yesterday. It was strong
and active TO 215 cents higher. Chicago
reported that hogs opened steady and
closed slow, while the Kansas City mar
ket was quoted as steady. The compari-
son between the different markets in IA
Eor Of Wichita is quite marked The bulk
OF sales IN the local market was at 800
10 S410.

American gold coin and $4,000 IN bars

was not much activity Consois were up

make the continuation difficult. but find

stantial gains"

clined. owing to the many sales made 20

KAISER MUST KEEP HANDS OFF
Danish West Indies Within the Scope
Of the Monroe Doctrine,


of the Monroe Doctrine,
Berlin, Dec. 26-The German govern
ment has definitely abandoned all idea
Of acquiring the Danish West Indies,
either by purchase from Denmark or
otherwise. The correspondent OF the AS
ISOLATED Press received this from an au-
thoritative source today. The German
embassy in Washington has been left in
no doubt that any such attempt would
be looked upon by the Americans as an
unfriendly act and as a serious infringe
ment of the Monroe doctrine. According
to the same authority, the reports rep
resenting that Denmark is negotiating TO
sell the islands to the United States are
either entirely premature or without
foundation.
DR.. Passche, leader Of the National
Liberals in the reichstag. has just re-
turned from a four months trip in the
United States, Cuba and dhe West In
dies. The trip was undertaken for the
united German sugar interests. the OBJ
ject OF DR.. aPasche being TO study thor
oughly what prospects cane sugar had IN
the regions through which he passed OF
competing successfully with German beet
sugar under the existing American tariff.
In the course of an interview today he
expressed the opinion that German sugar
would be driven out of the United States
market within three years unless the
United States grants better terms than
the present tariff. He will fully discuss
the matter in the reichstag and will pub
Hsh a book on the subject. DR.. Paasche,
who says he enjoyed his experiences in
the weet ern world, speaks enthusiast
ticaIly of the phenomenal prosperity
everywhere apparent in the United States.
He believes way will be found to ef-
feet a commercial treaty with the United
States which viii be beneficial to both
countries.
Armored trains will hereafter be a reg
ular feature Of German war equipment.
Extensive experiments have been made
on the military railroad from Schoeuburg
TO Unersdorf. Various types Of plated
trains have been used, all made at
Krupp's works. II has been found that
a light armored train, with an armored
car before the engine, in which ma
chine gun is placed and adjustable for
firing in three directions. is the most
available type. These cars are open at
the TOD.
There has been another heavy snowfall
in Germany today, and street traffic is
greatly impeded. One lesson from the
severe SHOWS OF the last two weeks IS
that the accumulator electric car system
is a failure. The Berlin lines will sub
stitute overhead wires.

JOHN P. LOWELL ARMS COMPANY
And the John p. Lowell Company. As
sign for Creditors.

Boston, Dec. 26.-The John P Lowell
Arms company and the John P Lowell
company, an allied firm, manufacturers
Of sporting goods of all kinds. made an
assignment today for the benefit Of credi-
tors. The frmts were heavily indebted
to the Globe National bank, which was
last week placed in charge Of a temper
airy receiver, and this institution, or
rather its former president Mr. Cole, has
been represented in the business by c.
w Norcross, who is said 10 have virtu-
ally managed the concern for more than
a year past in the interests OF the bank.
1t has been stated that Mr.. Cole, late
president of the bank. exchanged paper
of the Lowell compan yfor mining securi-
ties. but the fact that Mr.. Norcross has
remained in charge up TO the present
time would seem that a doubt upon this
story. 1t is stated that the merchandise
bills contracted by the company have
been paid as promptly as those Of most
business houses. so that the manufac-
tuners who have supplied them with
e DDS are not large creditors. the bulk OF
the Indebtedness being TO banks which
have discounted the company's paper.
Charles 3. Armes. II, one OF the
sssignees. said tonight: The assignees
are unable 10 give any estimate Yet as
to the assets and liabilities and probably
VIII not be able 70 do so for some days.
The company operates stores in a num-
her of cities from Bangor. Maine, to
Providence. r. I, and they have large
stocks on hand. which viii have TO be
thoroughly examined before the assignee
can discover just what the financial
situation IS. The house Of the John P.
Lowell Arms company was founded in
ISL by ohm p. Lowell.
