ALL MEATS CHEAPER.
Kansas City Markets Show Decline
Except I'm Bacon.

The Kansas City Star says of the
general decline in meat prices:
Bacon is the only kind of meat
that is not cheaper in Kansas city
butcher shops than it was year
ago.
The butchers say bacon would be
cheaper II the people would learn
to eat ham and other parts of the
hog. One butcher said he sold 100
pounds of bacon for every 20 pounds
OF. ham.
The tendency in Kansas City is to
make bacon more and more a staple
while other parts of the hog are i'm
less demand. The Arkansas hog
that, runs to snout and bacon almost
exclusively cuts into marketable
meat much better than the Kansas
hog built short and heavy. There is
i'm South Missouri a race of hogs liv-
ing on acorns and such forage as they
can find that. pound for pound, are
worth more Just now than any 9TH
er breed of hogs that comes to this
market
Pork loins are quoted by the pack
ers today at cents pound Not
very long ago they sold at 12ls sents.
Spareribs have dropped from cents
to cents a pound. Shoulders have
dropped even more in some instances.
Ham sell for about 20 per cent
of the old price but bacon remains
at the top notch simply because peo-
pie buy more bacon than any other
kind OF pork product.
Beef prices at the packing houses
are shaded from Y cents to 1 cent
below the price OF last year at this
time. The decrease in the price Of
beef is by no means as marked as the |
falling off in pork prices, but the |
packers are giving the butchers the |
benefit Of part OF what they have |
taken off the prices paid the farm
er for the live animal. Ribs at whole |
sale run from to 10 cents a pound,
but the butchers say few of the 10
cent kind of beef ribs are sold by |
them ordinarily. The 13-cent kind
)f beef ribs is in better demand and
here is not much difference in quail
ty.

Hyomei has performed almost mi

had given up all hope Of recovery. It's
best action as at the start of the dis

Pensions Increase $1,000. 900.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Represen-
tative Kefer of Ohio, chairman of
the subcommittee on pensions OF
the house committee on appropria-
tions, has announced informally that
the committee has agreed to recon-
mend a pension roll OF S15O,OOO,OOO
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1909. This will be about $7,0OO,0O0
in excess of the pension roll of the
present fiscal year The increase is
largely due to the provisions of the
McCumber bill, effective In Febru-
airy, 1907. by which the enlargement
of pensions in accordance with age
and the adjustment of physical ex-
animation as a prerequisite to the es-
tablishment of pension claims on ac-
count OF physical disability, were
brought out.

Mr.. Hibbs a dollar for the apple. The
The offer was at first refused, but

the distinguished lady the offer was
accepted. There were 2S apples in

MlIton's Lemon Crop Ripe.

ANSAhOh NAOp
Milton's lemon crop, which so far
as we know consists Of exactly two
specimens Of this lucious fruit, will
be ripe in about two weeks, when
the work Of picking will commence.
Although the crop this season As
somewhat limited, the quality OF the
fruit makes up for what there may
be lacking in quantity, the largest
specimen measuring 12hx4h, while
the other Is trifle smaller. The
fruit was raised by Mrs. M. j. Black
on her place in this city the tree be-
ing about Az feet high.
The question OF finding a market
Is causing the grower considerable
uneaslness. Walla Walla last sum-
mer passed an ordinance taxing our
lemon and banana ralsers $3.50 per
year for selling their product there,
which effectually closes that market.
She will probably ask for bids from
eastern wholesale houses and believes
that her product will command the
highest price.-Milton Eagle.
