HOG MARKET STILL HIGHER
Best Price Record Of tho Year Made
Today. Everybody Scanning Anxious
10 Buy-sales Made at $7.2o-sheep
Market Steady, AItho the Run Was
Slow.

Chicago. Feb. 1.-THE market was
carried over from yesterday, and a
heavy mid-week supply is expected.
Arrivals of $4,000 yesterday were far
above expectations of most traders,
who had believed that the sharp slump
in values late last week would check
big marketing for yesterday, but it
is evident that the country shippers
must have become quite "weak-kneed'
in sizing up the situation and were
anxious to liquidate. Heavy liquids
tin at this time, when the packers
are having trouble moving refrigerator
beef to the east, and a shortage Of cat
tie cars also exists, Is bad policy, and
yesterdays distressingly weak market
should well illustrate the fact.
Country buyers aversion to the light
steers Is causing the dealers In stock
and feeder cattle to go very slow i'll
stocking up with such kinds, and SELL
ers had to hunt an outlet for some Of
these holdings thru the killers. A
considerable number of light stockers
have sold to killers at low prices in
the past week and until the country
demand improves only a small supply
of these classes would seem to be
needed here.
There is quite good outlet for any
thing in the feeder line which pos
sesses quality and weight, however,
and the present prices for these seem
to most traders down to good buy
ing level.
The market was the highest of the
year, several sales being made at 1920.
Everybody seemed anxious to buy.
The advance made in the hog market
during the past three months has been
very gratifying to producers. It has put
in the pockets Of the hog growers a
large wad of money and stimulated
production very materially. There never
was q greater demand for good, pure
bred hogs than at the present time and
there Is good reason for it. The de-
mand for pork products Is Intense and
in spite of the fact that the hog pop
ulation is large, the supply is now be-
hind the demand. II never look for
hog prices to be low again" said 9.
prominent dealer. The area for hog
production in this country is compar-
atively limited to the corn belt and we
have reached a period where the con-
sumption is great enough to take all
the hogs that can be grown at good
prices. In addition to this our foreign
demand is getting better every year"
The situation is certainly very buliish,
and while prices are higher nov than
they have been since 1908, it is highly
probably that that years record will
soon be eclipsed.

NATURAL Law.
Cedar Rapids Republican,


The laws which govern the physi-
cal, the moral and the spiritual world
are perfect laws. No fault can be
found with them. Whoever lives nat
urally and decently will escape the
rod of punishment unless indeed his
parents sinned. The power to choose
ones acts, to decide which way one
shall go entails the most tremendous
responsibility imaginable. II man
were the victim Of fate, the cruelty
of nature would be something terrible
to contemplate. But man Is not the
victim of fate. Man Is the master OF
his own fate. He is the captain Of his
own soul. It is for him to decide
which way he shall go, and having
made that decision and acted upon 1t,
he ought not to complain OF the
effect of the laws which he himself
made operative against him.

RICHMOND MARKETS

All market quotations remained
practically stationary yesterday neith-
er raising or falling. The price or
hogs remained at the 81 figure and are
expected to stay at this point for some
time unless another and higher quota
ton is reached. In speaking OF the
present situation in the hog market
Richmond packer said yesterday, that
no butchers or packers were expect
ing the present high price as they
expected a drop during the months
of October, November and December.
the heaviest butchering and packing
season. Instead of prices OF hogs
lowering during this period they grad
ually increased so at the present
time the animals are bringing a fan
cy figure, TO the farmers who are SO
lucky as to own hogs. Under ordin-
AIRY circumstances the hog market
would now just be recovering from the
effects of the heavy packing season
and the probable price would be no
more than $500 or $685. at the most.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Rotation Of Crops.

On every farm there should be a reg.
Ilar rotation OF crops. says n Vermont
farmer in American Cultivator-that is,
the moving fields and tillaSe land
should be under a regular system of
cropping for best results. The length
Of this rotation will depend on the size
of the farm. the character OF the soil
and the crops To be raised.
The first year from sod the land
shouid be devoted to the cultivated
crops. such as corn. potatoes. beans,
etc. that are preparatory in character.
With these there should be liberal fer
tilization and good cultivation. which
will put the land in suitable condition
for grain crop and seeding down TO
grass.
The writer practices FIVE year ro-
tation. one in cornfield and fodder. one
in grain. oats and barley. with grass
seeding. and three in grass. In this
way get excellent crops OF good hay
during this time.
