Hog Cholera and Hog Growing.
Indiana Farmer.
There are a few large and constant grow
ers of hogs in the States of the big corn
belt who have never had touch of hog
cholera in their herds, though at times in
the past years the disease prevailed all
around them, sometimes in a most virulent
form. They do not especially say how they
have avoided the disease. except to explain
that they do not feed corn heavily during
such periods. give their hogs more green
and succuent foods. are careful 10 see that
the hogs have pure well water and are
kept entirely free from filth. and on their
own premises. In a word. they observe
sanitary rules perfectly as they can,
and by feeding less heating. concentrated
foods. increase succulent foods, thus in
surfing better digestion and healthy con-
dition generally. 1t is no doubt true with
the animal, as with man, that they con-
tract disease when the germs are prevalent.
il they are kept in a filthy, susceptible con-
dition to disease. Under such conditions,
medical advice to men Is to be careful
about what they eat. and to keep the house
and its surroundings pure. The hog Is but
another form of the animal to which these
rules applicable. Sometimes men are
careless and consider themselves immune
TO disease even in periods of its prevalence.
and fall victims to their folly. How much
more this is true respecting the hog!
No doubt that it is these common sense
observations that have enabled some grow
ers to entirely escape hog cholera in their
herds, when those around them have been
sufferers from il. 1t takes a long while
and many object lessons to bring about
better conditions, but we believe the far
mers are advancing along these lines. =.

Easing Prices ON Fruits and
observation-disclosures Dull.

The local wholesale market was quite
active yesterday. Orders by morning mails
were liberal and number of buyers were
In. The dry goods dealers are pleased
with the business they are enjoying, 1t
being In excess of expectations, as usually
their trade suffers lull after the middle
OF May. Wholesale grocers are ENJOYING
an excellent trade. Sugars continue un
settled, and prices are weak. but there
are indications OF a somewhat stronger
market from now or. Coffees are moving
very freely, low prices making the con-
sumption heavy. Primary markets are dull
with dealers apprehensive of the coming
crop, which, IL Is thought, will be large.
Navy beans are strong and a shade higher
In primary markets while local wholesale
houses are selling at former figures. Canned
goods, old stock. are moving slowly and
are offered at concessions from quotations.
Dried fruits are unchanged. with apricots
and prunes strong on the report that the
outlook Is for light crop this year. On
Commission row business Is good. Old
stocks OF apples. potatoes, onions and like
articles are well reduced and are selling
at better prices than last week A num-
Der OF changes will be noted in the market
for fruits and vegetables. Strawberries
are coming In quite freely. Demand is good
and prices are firm. Receipts have not
been so large as expected and sellers have
found the market strong. Onions are scarce
and prices are higher. Cabbage Is IN
changed for old stock. but new is easier.
String beans are lower and Florida to-
matoes are In greater abundance with
prices seeking a lower level. The produce
ket Is very active. Prices have a weak
enlnS tendency In some lines.

W. 7. Blythe, director of the Indiana sec
ton. climate and crop service Of the
Weather Bureau, issues the following sum-
mary of climate and crop conditions for
the week ended on Monday, May Is:
THE daily mean temperature ranged
from six degrees to ten degrees above
normal during the week, with no rain,
except light local showers of no value
other than TO temporarily freshen vegeta-
ton in spots in a few counties. great
deal of blowing, narrowing, planting and
rolling was done, but the results were not
satisfactory, when compared with the
amount of labor. The ground is dry and
hard. breaks cloddy and requires much
work TO get into even fairly good condi-
ton.
Corn planting is well advanced, and the
first planted is coming up, but the work has
been suspended by some farmers, awaiting
rain.
ION account of the wet condition of the
ground when most oats were sown and
continued dry weather since, the crop Is
not doing we'll Spring sown clover that
escaped the frosts Is also SUFFERING IRON
the dryness. Wheat, rye and barley are
also suffering materially, but would be
greatly benefited by rain; these cereals are
beginning to head, low, in the southern Sec
ton.
Potatoes, gardens and hay and pasture
grasses are making slow growth. Melons
came up to poor stand and much repiant-
ing will be necessary. Tobacco plants are
in good shape and ready to transplant
when conditions are favorable.
"Blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries
currants and late strawberries promise
fair TO good crops Tree fruit that was moi
killed by late frost is reported TO be drop
ping badly"

more activity was manifested, buying orders
being plentiful on reports of damage in the
Southwest Opening prices were easier on
lower cables and on reports of continued
rains in Manitoba, July being off M@Ac to
AGac at 727sG73c. The extreme dizziness
early in the day and lower outside markets
had a depressing influence, and prices de-
clined still further, July selling off to Tx
@727sc. The Illinois and Indiana crop re-
ports were somewhat bullish and impaired

ued slow. During the last half hour dam
age reports from the Southwest came in,
and a good demand developed from pit
traders and commission houses. Offerings,
however, were limited, and prices advanced
rapidly, July selling up to 74]l@74asc. The
close was near the top. July being up lie
to 1hc at 74Ac. Clearances of wheat and
ceipts were 235. 400 blu, against 24e. 200 bu a
