MARKETS UPS AND DOWNS.
Hog Business Is Not all That 1t Often
Appears.

This hog business has Its ups and
downs, sure enough" said ]. G. Nor
man of Abilene, Kan, Saturday to
the Drovers' Telegram, Kansas City,
after marketing carloads. Mr.. Nor
man Is an extensive shipper as well
as a feeder. He has well arranged
hog yards near this place where he
feeds hundreds of hogs every year.
1.-THE history of the hog business Is
that when they are highest there Is
most money in them. ! well remem-
Der buying hogs at $3.50 and selling
them at a loss on the Kansas City
yards at $3.50. Then ! recall the
time when l paid out $7.35 at home
for hogs, which l sold here at $500,
and made big money on them. The
hogs that / bought at s7.35 were fat
tened on corn worth but soc bushel.
Those we're the days when farmers
might have made enough money
feeding hogs to have retired. But
my greatest hog experience was in
that well known and famous year,
1898. There are few people here
now who were on earth at that time
and old enough to remember any
thing, but can recall that year and
It's great financial disasters. On the
first of May of that year hogs we're
bringing 81 in the country and on
the first Of July they we're very slow
sellers at $40. recall a shipment
I made during the early stages OF
that panic. landed here all right
and sold out, but had a very hard
time getting my money. Again l
recall buying good hogs out at home
in the early part Of last year, 1908,
ut less than 81, and now they are
bringing $3.50 in the country. Take
