farmers big profit on their years

lone farmer remarked Saturday

with the present o tlook for corn. There
was some trouble in the opening of the

come through, as the weather he'd been
too cold and wet; but foI the most part,
all corn fields in this locality now pres
ent most promising appearance.

THE HOG MARKET.
Highest Price Since June, 1902.
$S.O5 Was Reached on Chi
="
cagO Market.
BIG HOGS FETCH THE PRICE.

The hog market has been "bullish"
for some time. Optimists have predicted
that live hogs would sell for $50 per
hundred this season. But the prediction
met many skeptics. However the ques-
ton was settled last Monday, June ID,
when car load lots of hogs sold for IS O5
per hundred. This is the highest prise
reached since 1902. and barring that
period the highest since 1893. Ii is the
highest price for June hogs since 1882,
when the high point was S.. 80. In Sep
TENDER, 1882, prices reached $0.35 Of
course rhere are various explanations
of the present high price of hogs. The
one most generally given and accepted
is short supply and increasing consump-
tion. Possibly the most logical expla-
nation is that the high price of corn HIS
caused the early marketing of immature
and light hogs and a real scarcity Of
heavy fat hogs. This has caused the
supply of lard to run short and the mar
ket is looking for hogs that will yield
the most lard. 1t is significant that the
So. o. hog last Monday averaged over
100 pounds. What ever the cause the
interesting fact is that good porker is
now worth gold dollars and many of
them
