quantly have. Hogs ready for mar
ket are scarce but there Is a lot OF
pigs In the country and after the
first Of the year we will have plenty
Of hogs for the market. | feel that
hogs wal continue to bring good
prices for six months or more, but
OF course they wIi sell lower this
winter than now. We have had sew
eFal good raans recently and the fall
pastures are getting good and the
ground is IN fine shape for putting
in wheat and / think there will be
more wheat sowR than usual. Wheat
is bringing a good price and the
farmers win go after it instead of
waiting untA spring and then put
ting all Of their land in corn"

bu. to the acre; he says Missouri
corn looks better than Colorado po'a-
toes.
r. R. Buckner, the well known
mule ma ., Cti;Ssay count. Mo-,
says Ike 81, :jtA I've StNk Re
porter, was on the market this week
with a consignment OF big mules OF
extra good quality which brought
top prices. Mr.. Buckner is an authos
ity On mules and has handled them
with success for years, being one OF
the largest feeders in the State. He
deals in only the best grade of sock
and his mules come to the market
in prime condition. Galloway coun-
ty Is a great section for raising and
feeding mlues," said Mr.. Buckner.
Il think 1t is safe to say that more
finished mules r shipped to the
market from Galloway county in a
year than from any other area Of
the same size in the country. Young
mules are hardly as plentiful in
my section this year as usual. Fa
mers have not raised as many colts
disposed Of a great many of their
in the past two years. They have
brood mares | used to keep about
IL mares on hand myself but at pres
ent have only four. Stockmen win
have to depend on other sections of
the country for more mules than us
ual If as many are handled this
year in Galloway county. Country
prices are very high. | never saw
young mules command such high
prices as at the present time. AS
far as feed Is concerned, farmers
in my locality have no reason to
complain. Our corr will make about
40 bu. to the acre. and we had good
wheat and oats crops. "
