That the farmers all over the adjacent
territory TO Wichita are hurrying in their

long time the weights have been very
Hzht. and often there comes in car OF
4 hogs OF small size, but of well seasoned
stock but Immatured. II these same
hogs were fed for thirty 10 sixty days
LONGER. they would yield far heavier
bulk weight But they are rushed into
the market in this unfinished condition,

I f-rla not alone at the Wichita market, but
at ali the western markets, with the re-

prices. but as it is all the hos offerings
which come 10 this market are at once
( taken. and at the best prices The dock
