Chicago Packers Advance the Price OF
Meat One Cent.
The Chicago Chronicle says:
A fat increase of l cent per pound
was put upon beef, pork and mutton
Saturday by Chicago packers. In
one year the additional cent will
yield the following sums: Dressed
beef, $15, 900, 900; dressed pork and
pork products, 500, 600, 900; mutton,
10000 Total addition to in
come, $39, 600, 600 Retailers of meats
were thrown into panic by the I'M
expected rise in prices. The advance
to the packers is more than 10 per
cent since before election. The in.
crease from the retailer to the con-
sumner will average % per cent.
The packers claim they have been
selling dressed meats at a loss for
several years. In six months the
price OF meat stuffs has gone up
$3.50 per 100 pounds. There has
been no corresponding advance in the
price of cattle, hogs and sheep.

The shape and style of your hogs
regulates to a certain extent, the price
that you will receive for them in the
market so the hog raiser should not
overlook this matter, but breed his
hogs, as far ass he can, so that they
will be shaped in Il manner that suits
the buyer and consumer, and it is only
the farmer who does this that can look
for "top-notch" prices.
There is one class OF hogs that have
rather good hind quarters, but they
are low in front and generally have Il
poor heart. Such hogs get off their
feed very easily, cannot stand heavy
feeding, and are generally found with
Il weak constitution which makes them
liable to disease.
Another Improbable cldss of hogs is
fine-boned animal, or what we some
times call a short, blocky chunk -
Some feeders like this type, as they
are easily fattened, but as a rule they
will not eat sufficient food to make
profitable gains.
Generally speaking, the hogs that
make the largest gains and do the best
are those that are well-boned, we'll
developed fore and hind quarters,
large through the heart, and with
legs of far lehgth. Such hog is the
one the farmer should breed, for they
always find Il good market even at
times when there is practically no
market at all for hogs of poorer
grade.

Fight on Cotton Oil Mills.

Attorney General McClurg Satur'
day filed declaration in the circuit
court, at Jackson, charging nineteen
cotton oil mills in the state with VIC
lating the new antitrust law. The
declaration asks for forfeiture Of
the charter of these mills and that
the statutory penalty be imposed.
1t also sets forth that the mills VIC
lated the law by entering into a com
biration to control the price of cot
ton seed, and that this combination
also prevents competition among oil
mills and competition among the rail
roads for the hauling of seed. Dur
ing the early part of the season there
was very lively competition among
the oil mills for seed and ut some
places the price went as high as 500
per ton. 1t is now said to be uni
formly $15 per ton.

Personally I should prefer to define
ate the ideal rather than the real, to
portray the character whose example
the women of my audience would desire
to emulate rather than the character
they would elect to avoid. But the
drama of the ideal is of the future. while
the present is necessarily given over to
the real, and I believe the real is as
important, instructive and as useful as
the ideal; that a Zaza a Sapho, a La
Tosca, or a Fedora leads US as much
into the path of knowledge as a Jeanne
dare. More so, perhaps, since we are
better acquainted with the common
place, the familiar, than the extraor-
binary. When the ideal character is
the rule and not the exception the pub
lie will clamor for that sort of play, as
they, now crowd the theater to see the
'Zaza' and .Sapho' plays. At present
our theaters. as with everything else,
are going through a transitional period;
the public demands strong realistic
drama, and those who cater to the de-
mand should not be blamed
