The record for pigs at the Peeler
homestead for March was 77, all pure
bred stock. The owner has been
butchering 81 months old pigs Of his
own raising that dressed 22S and $50
lbs, evidencing the fact that it pays
to breed good hogs, as well as cattle,
horses, etc. Mr.. Peeler even carries

expense Of IS per fowl.
David Hilger Of Lewiston recently
made the Statement, when interviewed
by Helena newspaper, that wool
prices would this year be lower than
last. Senator r G. Power Of Helena
differs with the Fergus county gentle
man and takes exactly the opposite
i view.
IT do not agree with Mr.. Hilger re
!! garding lower prices for wool this
year. said Senator Power to the Rec
ord
Mr.. Hilger evidently makes the
basis of his prediction the sale by
LeWistoWn parties last year, before
the San Francisco fire, Of wool at Is
cents, the highest price received in
the state.
Now let us look at the conditions.
Z Ill
from 4 to 5 per cent higher than the
previous sales and during the year
prices have advanced in London at
j least per cent.
The London market rules the price
n of wool the world over Onsthis basis
the woolgrawers Of Montana should
expect better prices than last year, if
the product is as good. z
