many years.
III lows and Illinois.
According TO O. III. Nelson OF the
Fort Madison QnJ stockyards. cattle
feeding will be on somewhat larger
scale in Iowa and Illinois this winter
than year ago, but he doesn't be-
lieve II will prove excessive. Corn in
the former state Is selling in the neigh
borhood of 30 cents per bushel, or
about IL cents cheaper than last fall.
James Black, one of the largest feed
ers in eastern Indiana. says the out
look for cheaper corn will encourage
many feeders to take hold Of the cattle
proposition more freely than they did
a year ago. Some are now contracting
corn at 3J to 40 cents a bushel, where.
as last year they had TO pay 30 cents,
and few were forced to pay go cents.
Good killing Quality Expected.
In view Of tile letter terms at which
they are securing corn this fall. feed
ers in the middle west are hopeful of
coming % better financially than they
did last winter, when il cost SO much
to put beeves in hard flesh. From the
way operators talk it seems likely that
cattle offerings at Chicago. Omaha,
Sioux City, Kansas City, st. Louis and
other leading western centcrs will show
up better in killing quality and fat this
winter than they did Il year ago.

CATTLE FEEDING.
Prospects In the Corn Belt-views of
Leading stOckmen.

1t Is evident that cattle feeding oper-
ations throughout the corn belt will
be on a fairly generous scale the com
Ing winter. One Of the editorial repre-
sentatves Of Orange Judd Farmer
while in the southwest has interviewed
leading feeders and stockmen from
such states as Iowa, Illinois, Kansas
and Missouri The general impression
is that fully as many cattle will go
into feed lots this fall and early win
ter as were handled year ago, and
in some districts of the corn belt Oper-
atlons will be on slightly larger
scale.
General Live Stock Agent s, H. Hill
OF the Union Pacific claims that full
quota Of cattle will be fed along his
line in northern Kansas. He says feed
ers are trying TO get corn at 2j cents a
bushel, but 1t is doubtful IL they can
succeed, as farmers are holding out
for 80 cents. or course these county
quotations for corn vary according to
locality and nearness to market. Mr..
Hill alleges feeding steers from Colo.

Fruit OF the Vine.

California is the state of largest
grape production, having over 90,000,-
900 vines. New York stands second
with a little over 29,C00,OO0 and Ohio
third with nearly 100000 vines.
New York state leads in the production
OF grapes OF American varieties, since
practically the whole Of the California
output is OF European sorts. Im the

York more unfermented grape juice is
produced than in all the rest of the
country combined, the product i'll 1904

something rather remarkable for a

record has been so frequently beaten
that 100 bushels is regarded as only

men are beating this record, two young
