Nevada. Dec. 10--There is about the
same amount of cattle being fed as
was last season. There would have
been quite an increase over last year,
but the average farmer thinks the
price of feeding steers is too high to
warrant them in purchasing feeders at
the prices and then feeding them high
priced corn and hay with a poor pros
pect of making a profit when he dis
poses of his cattle. There has been but
little If any profit in feeding cattle in
central Iowa for the past three years,
and this of itself would make the farm
er somewhat cautious
The old hogs have about all been
marketed. and the spring pigs are no.
up in numbers to last year, but there
is fairly good supply of spring pigs
being fattened for the market, and so
far as l have been able to learn they
are in good healthy condition and
are making fine gains and if the ex-
pectations of the farmers are realized,
they will receive remunerative prices
for these pigs that are now being fat
tened for the market.
The sheep industry has been almost
entirely neglected in this county, and
do not know of any being fed for mar
ket in the county. On the whole the
farmers of Story county are in a very
condition.
Land speculation has been INDUCED
In to some extent, but not of sufficient
to effect our present good
financial conditions

Eldora Dec 10.-The farmers in this
vicinity are not buying feeders as they
usually do. A few of our farmers are
buying quite large number but by far
the larger number are feeding only
those cattle which they have raised
A great many western sheep have
been shipped in, especially around I'm
ion and New Providence. In fact, sew
eral thousand.
About two years ago many of our
farmers bought heavily and fed many
cattle and most of them lost money.
This year the good prices now and
prospect for a continuance of same for
the corn crop and the uncertainty of
the price of stock, especially cattle,
makes the farmers rather cautious
about going in debt TO buy feeders.
The farmers are borrowing less mon
ey this fall than I have ever known
in this community. The farmers seam
to have plenty of money and to be in
better shape financially than they have
ever been before.

Many Sheep in Hardin.

| SpCSldl " IlGS-1lepuDllCdH
| New Providence, Dec. 10.-Not quite
the normal number of steers are In the
feed lots at present. In past years our
community was known thruout adj
Joining townships for Its heavy feeding
operations A number of farmers and
feeders would run three to five or ten
carloads each winter buying both cat
tie and corn at beginning of season.
This speculative feeding is disappear
ing. More farmers are feeding a sim
gle load, or possibly two loads, buying
their cattle and "grassing" them sew
eral months before putting in yard,
and are raising more of the corn to put
on the fat than formerly More sum-
mer feeding is done than formerly, so
while appearances might contradict,
vet in reality We believe in the course
OF the year nearly as many cattle are
handled as in previous years, and with
much more satisfactory returns. The
day of the local big feeder" has
passed.
There are about $500 sheep on feed
in Providence township, of which half
are Montana sheep one fourth south
ern lambs, the remainder natives. The
high prices of mutton and wool encour
age farmers to breed few sheep.
If you mean by land speculation the
purchase of cheap western and Canad-
IAN lands, we have not vet suffered
greatly. Some local capital has been
used in this way. The local movement
seems rather to be for the prosperous
farmer to buy his adjoining neighbours
land for himself or sons, and the neigh
Dor buy and settle on the cheaper wes-
tern land. A good deal OF capital is
being used by the farmers in way of
permanent Improvements on their land
- modern houses, good barns, hog
fences, and tile drains all of which
are sane investments rather than in
dulgences or speculations. 1t is worthy
of note too, that several renters have
accumulated sufficient means to buv
farms of their own right here in high
priced Iowa dirt.
But as we sometimes ride thru the
country and note here and there the
remnant of an old house or grove or
orchard, all that is left of a deserted
homestead, except the memory of the
family name of the builder, and the
stories clustering around it as related
by our pioneer fathers, the real maxi
ers Of the country we wonder oftimes
if the forty and eighty acre homes will
never return, and If after all in con-
tentment and happiness, the heritages
of true wealth, we would not be bet
ter people had not the smaller farm
homes obtained pernlanence.
