Market Hogs.

What kind Of hog will bring the
most money in the market, and what
breed will make the best market hog?
definitely. Markets vary as to the
class OF hogs that Will sell at the top.
When lard is at a premium the hog
that yields n large amount of lard is
the market topper, and that means
the heavy, thick. fat hog. When lard
is below other products this kind Of
hog sells for less than the light weight
which will make handy pork loins and
good hams withon too much fat on
them. Taking II year with another
In eastern markets, the hog of $50 to
200 pounds will hit the top oftener
than any other weight. In western
markets hogs Of around $50 pounds
will probably average best. Some
times lighter or heavier hogs will out
sell these grades, according to the
fluctuations in price Of the product.
In summer hog prices cover the widest
range because there is the greatest
difference in the yield Of product at
this In the winter all hogs are
corn fed and yield more uniform guam
titles of product. In summer many
are grassers that make low yields and
Of inferior quality to orn fed hogs.
A 200 pound hog that dresses so per
cent yields 16O pounds, one that dress
es IS per cent yields $50 pounds, and
one that dresses 20 per cent yields
only 40 pounds, an enormous differ
ence in a carload Of hogs, which the
buyer makes allowance for in buying
them on foot. AS a rule, Of late the
best hogs have been the cheapest on
the hooks at the top Of the market be-
cause they have yielded SO much more
product than the others, which looked
cheaper to the inexperienced observer.
Az to the breed that killers like best,
probably more would answer Berk-
shire than any other breed. But hogs
are what killers want, and the kind
they want viii top the market, wheth-
Or black, white. red or spotted.

THE DISTRICT LEADER
is A MUSICAL COMEDY

In The District Leader" which comes
to Vinita, February 2, Joseph Howard,
writer Of The Umpire, The Land Of
Nod. The Time The Place & The Girl
is said to have achieved his greatest
success thus far This appears to be a
somewhat strong assertion to make, TAX
ing into consideration the fact that all of
Mr., Howard's previous efforts have been
included IN the tremendous hit class.
but competent critics who have seen
"The District Leader all agree that this,
the latest creation from the prolific brain
Of the popular song writer and composer
is the best thing he has done, To any
one familiar with Mr. Howard's work,
this should be all-sufiicient
The District Leader" differs from the
great majority Of so-called musical come
dies in that it has plot; not a fiimsy.
disconnected story put in to hold the
piece together, but a strong melodlamatic
sequence of events that alone would hold
the attention of any audience Add TO
this the fact that the play is plentifally
intersprinkled with music presenting Mr.
Howard at his best, and some idea may
be had of the entertaining qualities Of
The District Leader Miss Grace Sloan
and c. Milford Giffen head a company
especially chosen for their ability to ade-
quately portray the characters in a pro-
duction said to resemble both The Van
derbuilt Cup and AS Minutes from
Broadway"
Miss Sloan viii be remembered for her
clever singing and dancing in The Land
Of Nod" and The Tenderfoot" and in the
part Of Flossie Whites in The District
Leader" she has opportunities to please
along the same lines.
The balance of the cast support Miss
Sloan and Mr. Griffen in a manner which
is well calculated to bring forth all of the
praise the production has merited this
season.

CULTURE OF PECAN
TESTED FOR PROFIT
Prof. Ralph E. Smith Expert
ments With Nuts to Learn
Their Possibilities

BERKELEY, Dec S.-Interest in the
cultivation of the pecan nut in this
state has engaged the attention of the
faculty OF the department of agricul-
ture of the university. and a series of
investi LEGATIONS in pecan culture has been
commenced by Prof Ralph E. Smith,
head of agricultural stations in the
southern part of the state.
In a bulletin issued from the univer-
sity press Professor Smith says:
The growing Importance Of pecan
culture in the southern states has
awakened considerable interest in the
possibility of the production of these
nuts in California. The subject was
brought to the attention of this station
through it's work with walnuts, and,
being OF a similar nature, has been
growing in various parts of California
and thrive well. Their production is
matter of much variation in different
sections and with different trees
In general, however, the interior
valleys of the state. where the sum-
mers are hot and the winters fairly
cold seem better adapted to pecan Gull
ture than the coast regions. Many
trees in the state fail to produce. or
ripen their nuts very irregularly, on
account of the mild climate and lack
of definition of the seasons.
"Of the many improved varieties of
pecans which are now being grown in
Texas, Florida, Georgia. Louisiana,
Mississippi etc. very few have been
tested in California. and none for long
enough time or generally enough to
demonstrate their adaptability to this
state"
