Hog Supply Will be Short.
livestock Worlt

Il v
| George NJ. Sterne & Son. the Chi
cago board of trade firm, which made
very accurate estimates on the pros :
pective hog supply, last April and No
vember. has made known the result
of extensive inquiries regarding the
probable supply of the summer packing
season, the condition of this spring 5
pig crop, and possibilities of market
ing brood sows during the coming sum-
mer. These inquiries have been made
since April /. and comprise tabulations
OF answers from about 600 points in the
best hog raising sections of the six
states from which the bulk of the crop
comes, and the best territory in eight
others. The tabulation reads:
We estimate the western hog run for
May, June and July, as about 80 per
cent of last years supply. not many
points showing increase and more a
decided falling off.
For August, September and October
we look for some increase over the ear
ly summer months, but still below last
year. or 81 per cent, as compared with
last years supply.
The restricted fattening and market
ing of brood SONS, will cut considerable
figure this season, in reducing the SUM-
mer run, 100 or one-fifth of the points
saying no brood sows will be
as all will be needed for
breeding a second pig crop the remains
ing 400 points estimate only As per cent
of this will be fattened and marketed,
or holding back of GA per cent of the
entire supply of brood sows, while of
those to be marketed only two thirds
are expected to be ready during the
summer months.
The cutting off of brood sows, in our
opinion, will tend to reduce the average
weight of hogs marketed later in the
summer, as these extra heavy sows ail
in increasing the average
weights while they are coming freely.

INTEREST IN COTTON GROWING
Prominent British Merchant says
America VIII Soon Want for
Home Use All Raised There.

Interest has been renewed In the cot
ton growing experiments being con.
Quoted in West Africa. through an in
terview given by Sir Alfred Jones, a
prominent Liverpool. England, mer-
chant, who has been studying the pro-
duction Of cotton for three years. He
declares that the United States will soon
want for home uses all the cotton grown
there.
About ten years ago." he said.
America produced about 1000, 900
bales Of cotton and Great Britain took
half Of It, Now America produces
100000 bales and Britain takes no
more than she did ten years ago. Then
the British Cotton Growing association
was started and the results OF the asso-
ciations work have been more satisfac.
tory than | anticipated. The whole Of
the West African colonies and the West
Indies have been made to take a deep
interest In the question OF raising cot
ton and are working exceedingly well.
America may yet have to look to West
Africa for her cotton supply, because |
believe cotton will be produced more
cheaply In West Africa than In the
United States"

PLUMBER CAT,
Ingenious Device by Which Woman
Sets 4 Feline to Discover
Leak In Pipe.

Making her cat act as her plumber
was the ingenious feat that woman
of Manayunk accomplished the other
day, says the Philadelphia Record
This woman had noticed that one OF
the pipes connected with the washstand
In her bathroom leaked, and she
wished to locate the leak precisely
without tearing out any more of her
wall than was needful. Accordingly
she shut her cat up in the parlor-the
parlor Is directly below the bathroom
and into the basin Of the defective
washstand she poured vial of the oil
OF valerian. Cats are excessively fond
Of the odor Of valerian; cat would
rather inhale this odor than eat fish
The Manayunk woman's cat. after II
had been In the parlor few minutes
began to purr. Purring, 1t crossed the
room; 1t settled itself on the floor with
Its face to one spot on the wall, and
here its mistress found 1t when she
came downstairs. Its nose glued to the
spot. shifting and purring ecstatically.
The wall was opened at this point, and
here, sure enough, the leak was found.
Here the valerian had trickIed through,
imparting Its intoxicating odor to the
cat.
