visible this morning as the water was
coated with Ice
Farmers are finishing cutting and
putting up their second crop OF alfalfa,
which, by the way. Is worth looking af-
ter, IN view OF the fact that the price
thereof has advanced 10 SO per ton
I'm the stack. The rise In price IL due
10 the unusual demand for horse feed
by canal hands al Miner, where II Is
said hay Is worth SIS per ton. With
this condition upon us there is danger
of our farmers selling themselves short
of stockfeed and should there come
q severe winter, such as we had a year
ago, there will probably be a dearth
OF feed.
