HOGS WERE WEAK
Market Was a Shade Lower
Yesterday.
TOP PRICE WAS SAP 10
Little Was Done in the Cattle
Market.
TOP PRICE WAS SAP ~

The Wichita hog market was weak and
shade lower yesterday. tIn some in
stances it was weak to 21k cents lower.
The top would have been as high as the
day before had there been any choice
hogs on the market. but this was not
the case. The market indicates in fact
only what the bulk price would have been
had the good hogs arrived.
The early reports from other markets
were depressing, as they indicated a
weaker feeling. The market here declined
slowly, but stiffened up toward the close.
The demand was excellent and the ship
pers found that they could sell their hogs
10 an advantage nearly as soon as they
were out Of the cars.
The receipts yesterday were light for a
thursday Nothing arrived to amount to
anything before noon and the principal
receipts did not get in until quite late.
Mnen trading became briskuntil closing
time. The close was weak also somewhat
later than is usual.
Inequality of the hogs on sale was
Simply fair. There were some verv rag
ged punches of mixed hogs, as well as
some fairly good heavy hogs, but moth
ing choice in any grade was offered The
quality seems to have been getting worse
for some days past.
The bulk OF the hogs sold for 81. 4O0
az. The top was $4.42, which was paid
Tor several loads Of good heavy hogs.
There were few light hogs in and what
did arrive were OF a very poor class.
Many of the loads offered were made I'D
of all grades which detracted somewhat
from their worth.

PROVISION MARKEl

Provisions recovered somewhat yester-
day from the heavy slump of the day
before. Right at the opening a firmer
feeling developed and the bulls began to
make themselves felt. Pork advanced y
points, nearly regaining it's loss of the
Gay before, while lard and ribs gained 5
cents nominally, but as the close was bid
the market was stronger than the figures
would indicate.

Potatoes will grow on n great variety
Of soils and produce excellent crops,
but the soil has much to do with the
quality. A soil that is full Of humus
will produce large tubers in abundance,
but they will lack the quality of those
that are grown in soil that has less
humus, but is rich in potash and other
minerals. The volcanic ash soils of the
Pacific slope grow some of the finest
potatoes in the world, both in size and
quality. The mineral elements produce
the splendid result. The application of
stable manure to this crop is inadvisa-
BILE, for If the crop escape scab, as the
result, the quality Of the tuber will
pretty surely be injured. The follow
ing mixture is an excellent potato fer
tilizer: ATuriate Of potash, 400 pounds;
nitrate of soda, $50 pounds; dried blood,
300 pounds; fine bone flour, 500 pounds;
plaster, 400 pounds; salt, 100 pounds.
This will contain about 4 per cent. of
nitrogen, 7la per cent. of phosphoric
acid and 10 per cent. of potash. Soak
ing the seed in a solution Of corrosive
misunderstanding two ounces Of
the sublimate in two gallons of water,
and then adding thirteen gallons Of wa

Permanent Pastures.

The easiest way that we know of to
keep permanent pasture in good con-
dition is to stock 1t hard enough SO that
the grass will be eaten before it throws
up seed stock or becomes hard and
woody, and then give extra feed at the
barn SO that the animals will return Mt
least as much fertility to the soil as the
grass takes from it. OF course manure
or fertilizer may be carried out, and
spread on the pasture, but that costs
money, and Eastern farmers are often
at loss to obtain fertilizing elements
enough for their moving lands and cul-
tivated fields. If they buy feed to use
in summer when cattle are in the pas
ture, they hope to and usually do get
enough in the way of growth, fat or
milk production to pay for 1t, and look
upon the increased quantity and extra
quality of the manure heap MS an extra
profit. In this matter of overstocking
the pasture 1t is best done and produces
best results where there are two pas.
lures, so that the animals can be
changed from one to the other about
once a week, or as often as the feed is
eaten down smooth. This helps to pre-
vent them from gnawing SO closely as
to destroy the roots, which they may do
in some favorite spot If they are kept
too lolg In one pasture.--American CuI.

WORK OF the LEGISLATURE.
Important Measures Enacted by Recent
ly Adjourned Iowa AasemhlY.

Important Measures Enacted by Recent.
~ Adjourned Iowa Assembly.
With the adjournment of the Twenty
eighth General Assembly many new laws
are left upon the statute books of Iowa.
The number is between two and three
hundred. The length OF the session was
68 days. Probably the most important
measure passed was the Titus constitu-
tional amendment, providing biennial
elections. This amendment will go to
the people next fall ut the general cleo
ton. Another important reform in the
election laws will permit the use of voting
machines. The hour of closing the polls
was extended to p. M, the latter being
supposed to make likely larger vote.
Taxation claimed Il large share Of the
Legislatures attention. Cheshire's bill
taxing express companies on a mileage
basis was passed. The methods of tax
ing telephone and telegraph companies
were amended to apportion the assessed
value among the taxation districts in ac-
cord with mileage. Fire and life insur-
ance companies are to be taxed l per cent
upon premium receipts, less expenses,
which will yield about $4,000 annually.
The insurance laws were amended in sew
eral respects in favor of the policy hold
ers, including the valued policy law. At
torney General Remley's recommended
tons in regard to building and loan as
sociations resulted in an excellent law
that will protect the investors and elimi-
nate the speculative element.
The schools Jared literally. Increased
appropriations were made, provision is
made for school libraries and for a more
thorough system of collection of statis-
tics and inspection by State officials. The
State institutions were well treated, near
!: all receiving increased appropriations,
new female reformatory was estab-
lished, and the county insane asylums
were placed under the direction of the
board Of control. Attendance at National
Guard drills is encouraged by the provis-
ion to pay 10 cents an hour to militiamen
for time spent in drilling.
These are the main features of the
legislation. The most important laws that
failed were those to establish additional
normal schools, the county high school
bill, the bill to establish an Appellate
Court, and the woman suffrage measure,
this last meeting its usual fate of being
passed i'll one body, only to raise hopes
that were dashed to the ground in the
other house.
