duStry Tells Different StOry
as to Packing Houses.

MIGHT BE BETTER.

April >. 1906. from A D. Melvin, chief Of
the bureau of animal industry IN which
he says
Prom personal observation [ know
that sanitary conditions at abattoirs
where this bureau maintains inspection,
while not always satisfactory, are much
superior 10 those at the average estab-
Hshment without such inspection"
Further. ne says he knows that many
diseased animals are not shipped 10 mar
ket ceuters where inspection IS main
tanned. He advises the most rapid eN-
tension Of the inspection possible and

greater than can be supplied.

that in any slauEhterhOuse, no matter
how sanitary the conditions mas be- there
is much that is revolving to one not &C
cuStOmcd to such sights, and one who
visits them must expect TO witness scenes
of blood and offal and to have his nos
trils offended by GisagreeabIe OdOrs- as
well as TO see finely dressed beef and
mutton and tempting hams and bacon
He says the report Of the committee
of three officials of the department is
fully approved by the bureau of animal
industry and that wherever weakness in
the system of inspection has been indi-
Gated steps will be at once taken to rem
edy the conditions. He says he shall obey
the order Of the secretary that when pro-
prietOrs refuse to place their premises in
a sanitary condition, he Will withdraw
the inspection. The report of the com

by the city or Chicago: the government

the institutions in making its inquiry re
pardiug sanitation The report says:

How the Rats Live.
The danger Of nis-statfng an episode
for a practice is illustrated by an incident
which the committee learned March a
at abattoir No l. In the cooler of this
miami two rats were observed consuming
the meat or a condemned hog carcass.
In no other abattoir were any rats or
rat excrement seen although the com
nittee visited every room and cellar Of
each abattOir. In many cases cats were
maintained in the abattoirs to extermin-
ate the rats, and other means of prevent
ing the depredations Of rats were also
! observed"

Card of Thanks.

We regret the fact that in expres- sing our thanks in last weeks paper Tor the prompt cash settlement with out discount of our loss on Crowley Ridge Institute, that MT. Frank G. Pettus' companies were not men, toned, who also forwarded their checks last week to MT. Pettus in full settlement of their loss, but owing to his being in Memphis we did not re- ceive the checks until this week.
 And we take special pride in saying that one of MT. Pettus' companies interested in the loss was the 'Citi- zens," of Clarksville, Arkansas. a home company just two years old. This certainly should commend the "Citizens of Clarksville" to the fa- Vorable consideration and patronage Of property owners. And we take pleasure in recommending this home company.

PREDICT BIG CROP.
Conditions in Northwest All Favorabl.
to Wheat

Chicago. April 1O.-A bumper wheat
crop for this year Is indicated in a
summary of the conditions compiled
from reports from all the wheat states
published in the Record-Herald. The
outlook in the southwest is especially
bright. according to the article, which
says in part:
| Kansas Indiana, Illinois. Ohio, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Nebraska, Oklahoma
and Pennsylvania are enthusiastic
over the outlook. OF these, Ohio, Kan
sas. Oklahoma and Nebraska in par
| ticular, send information of a marked
improvement in general conditions
since the last government report in
December. Oregon, Texas and Wis
consin see signs of retrogression during
that period, but they are willing to
admit that appearances may be decep-
tive.
In the great surplus producing states
there are fields here and there where
water and ice did irreparable damage,
but compared with the whole area, the
acreage to be abandoned is inconsid-
cradle. Indiana, Kentucky and Me-
braska make positive report that there
will be practically no giving up of the
crop. In others of the western states
notably Kansas and Missouri, few
days more are necessary to determine
whether it will be advisable to pillow up
fields whose appearance is dubious.
Notwithstanding the reported de-
crease in area In Nebraska, estimates
are made that the crop will be So
100000 bushels. altho the government
allowed only 100000 in its Decem-
Der report. Conditions and prospects
in Oklahoma are reported by G. ".
Topping. recently of the Oklahoma
Millers and Grain Dealers Association.

that the damage is not more than | per

ports, but Notwithstanding this, wheat
growers predict there will be a record

cember. Indiana wheat energies from
the winter period with better pros
poets than for the corresponding period

interesting phenomena of the crop

reports, makes the figures 1,972,942
acres, or nearly 100000 acres smaller
than the government report had it.

Des Moines, April 10.-The first of
the regular weekly Iowa weather and
crop bulletins was issued today by
Director j. r. Sage, as follows:
The winter of '1905-1SO6 was phe-
nomenally mild, but March was unusu-
ally cold and stormy, except the last
week, with conditions unfavorable for
farm operations in all parts of the
state. The first week in April was
above normal in temperature, with fire.
quent showers and excessive rainfall
except in portions Of the northern sec
ton. The season for farming opera
lions is ten to fourteen days later than
the average. The showers of the latter
part Of the past week will cause still
further delay in seeding and spring
blowing.
I'm well drained portions of the state
a little seeding Of spring wheat and
oats has been done, but generally field
work has been impracticable except
blowing grass lands. All reports in
dictate that fall wheat and rye came
thru the winter in good condition.
There are no reports of material in
jury to fruit buds. One of the most
favorable features of the crop situation
is that an unusually large amount of
blowing was done last fall, preparatory
for spring seeding and planting"

Sellers Could Not Add Much To
the Price Of Cattle
Today
HOG MARKET FLArrENs OUT
The Opening Show of Strength,
Brought About Thru the Operations
of Spectators, Did Not Last Long
and Late Market Was No Better
Than Yesterday.

Chicago. April 1O.-The cattle market
demand for steers had some strength,
but buyers were not so urgent in their
inquiries as to enable sellers to put
much to the price which prevailed the
previous day. The local packers We're
out early, and there was fair outside
trade, but the market lacked energy
Mondays receipts of $4,000 fell 1880
under the run here week ago and it
is earnestly hoped by the trade that
arrivals in later days this week will be
held down to proportionately small to-
tails. The beef market is badly in need
of rest from overcrowding, and the
higher prices today should not tempt
liberal shipments, as the trade is not
in shape to handle a large supply with
out effecting rather sharp reaction
from the present basis of values.
Hogs.
The market opened with the CUSTOM
airy show of strength brought about
thru the operations of spectators. but
the market nattened out with the utter
refusal of the regulars to follow the
advances, and the late market was no
better than yesterday. Meagerness of
receipts probably saved the market
from slump. An early top of $6.55
was paid.
Average weight of hogs last week,
222 lbs, the heaviest average thus far
this year. 8 lbs. heavier than last week,
lbs. more than year ago, and II
lbs. heavier than two years ago. This
illustrates the excellent quality in
which the bulk of stuff is being mar
keted.
Sheep.
There was fair demand for wool
lambs, and they ruled steady, but
clipped stuff was weak and the de-
mand for choice heavy sheep was as
strong as ever, but supplies were
meagre and prices purely nominal.

Vaccinations of Lewis G. Bernard, the
