Stock Notes.
(Field and FARM

The surprise of the week is the high
price at which hogs are selling on the
Denver market and this is all right
when we come to think of it No cheap
hogs are probable because of the rapid
dwindling of provision stocks every
where here in the west. Shipments of
meats from all points of accumulation
have been enormous. 1t is considered
doubtful if the summer run of hogs will
be large enough TO replace stocks now
depleted at lower prices than the stuff
cost last winter
The Great Western Sugar Beet Com
pany sent forty-one dehorned branded
western steers to Chicago the other
day weighing 1851 pounds which sold
at So. 30 with seventeen horned steers,
weighing l,5ss pounds at S6.s5, and
seventy-eight dehorned, 1,50l pounds
at So. 75; fifty-one horned, l,467 pounds
at &c. e5. These cattle made remark
able showing in the pens and were for
the most part strictly prime. Corn
belt feeders look at these cattle in
amazement and wonder where the end
will be. They begin to realize that at
the present price of corn they will have
to find cheaper methods of making beef
or turn the job over to our Colorado
folks very well with scarcely any corn
at all. 1t begins to look as if we knew
what we We're talking about when we
kept on saying that Colorado would
some day make beef.
One of the most extensive any sue
cessful swine-raisers in the Arkansas
valley says: Twenty-Five years of
pasturing hogs of all ages on alfalfa
has proven conclusively to me that a
fourth to half grain ration, while they
are on such pasture will produce great
er daily growth than when in dry lots
on full feeds of corn. Hogs will main-
tain a reasonable growth but not fatten
much on alfalfa pasture alone. be-
lieve il profitable to feed some grain
while they are running on green alfal-
fa. If il is desired to full-feed hogs,
they will make rapid fattening growth
by increasing the grain ration while on
pasture and with this the meat will be
nearly as firm as that of hogs kept in
dry lot, where grain alone is fed.
find no distinction on the market be-
tween alfalfa-fed swine and those
purely-grain-fed and they sell price and
price alike. The general health of the
alfalfa-fed hogs is better than that of
those maintained on any other feed and
they are prolific.

Sugar Industry.

The whole aim of the sugar import
attempt to break down the tariff and
place sugar on the free list in order
that home competition might be crushed
and without this competition the i'm
porters would be given control of our
markets and increase their profits as
they are doing in tea and coffee, is to
minimize the American sugar industry.
They say that sugar cannot possibly be
produced profitably in this country,
forgetting that under more unfavorable
soil and climatic conditions than those
of even Michigan. Germany last year
produced 2. ZOO 900 long tons of sugar,
enough within 400, 600 tons to supply the
entire consumptive demands of the
United States.
This. however, has always been the
contention of the importing free trader
We can most of US remember the his
tory of the tin plate industry. When
Mckinley proposed to put tariff on
tin plate we were told it would be i'm
possible to manufacture tin plate in
this country But the tariff went on
and the tin plate industry was trans
ferred from Wales to this country.
About $50, 900 tons of tin plate are pro-
duced in this country annually. where
as before the Mckinley tariff was put
on no tin plate was manufactured here.
The extent of the Michigan sugar
industry with its SIG, 900 investment,
its 80, 900 beet growers, the IS, 900, 600
disbursed to farmers last year. the
$3.50. 900 paid out in railroad freights,
the 1900, 900 annual revenue derived
by the government annually from the
tax on alcohol distilled from refuse beet
molasses, and other benefits, have been
printed in these columns. In twelve
years this industry has become one of
the leading agricultural and manufac-
turing interests in Michigan. 1t would
have been FIVE times as large today If
the Cuban reciprocity had been throt-
tied and the industry been gwen the
full extent of the protection it was
promised by the Republican party.
In Colorado the development OF the
sugar industry in ten years has shown
the most remarkable growth of any of
the industries that do their share to
make Colorado famous. When the first
factory at Grand Junction closed the
campaign of 1899, its first, it had pro-
duced sugar to the value of $4,000.
Since then the industry has turned into
the Golfers of the people of Colorado

KISSING IN MOUNT elLEAp.

From Mount Gilead, Ohio, comes a
protest against the kiss, voiced by a
worthy pastor, who declares there is
more danger in OSCILLATION than in
liquor. And from all accounts the
pastor most decidedly has kick com.
ing. 1t seems to be the practice for
the young people of Mount Gilead to
do all their counting in church
Here is the pastors testimony:
Why. have seen young fellows
who come to church for no other pur.
pose than to disturb the service, lean
forward over the back of the pew and
press kiss on some fair maidens
lip, and the smack could be heard
all over the house.
And that, he says, is not the worst
of it. Some of the older persons have
also annoyed him with their huggine
and kissing as he labored through his
text. The pastor then, may be pardon
ed for taking his stand against the
kiss, even going to the extent Of say
ing:
The kiss is an intoxicant and. like
the saloon, must go. 1t is more fruitful
of consequences than any alcoholic
beverage ever distilled. I think kis
sing is the worst thing a young woman
can do. and the amount of it some Of
our girls do-of our best families, toe
is a menace to morality.
And there is the pastors word fol-
| it that the girls Of our best families
indulge in this form of intoxication

ment be the cause of the guilty man 5
escaping. If there ever was time
when the right kind of action was
needed instead of the wrong kind 1t is
now. =
Ottumwa must remember that II Is
simply paying the penalty that comes
from voting a continuous open town
policy Such policy is a pubhshed
invitation to the worst class OF society
that they are welcome. Life elther OIL

erned by a law. of general average
that is infallible and inevitable. AS
We sow, so shall we reap. A COM
munitv as we'll as an individual may
escape Just punishment for while,
but in the end it must settle. Inc I'M
fortunate feature of such conditions IS
that as in this the innocent Is made
to suffer for the guilty
An open town is always infested
with suspicious characters, because
when a man or woman get so bad that
thew cant live anywhere else they go
to the open town. When a CRIME Is
reporteG there are scores OF these
characters who Immediately become
n objects of suspicion. They are peo-
pie who have no means of support,
but they gather in the city although a
constant menace to the citizens.
In addition to these vags there is
another class Of unfortunates, victims
of drugs who are capable Of any
crime when indulgng in these habits.
They are the cocaine users, and they
are white as we'll as black, but they
are no more subject to blame than
the parties who sell them their drugs.
The habitual user and the habltual
seller of cocaine must be made to
leave the community. Many citizens
as we'll as the drug victims, now know
by what means cocaine is secured.
This practice has got to be driven out
of Ottumwa. The worst characters
the police have to deal with are the
cocaine fiends. These wanton I'M
fortunates are made so because some
body with no principle or character
arranges for them to secure the drug.
The assault on Mrs. Johnston, fol
lowing SO closely on the brutal murder
of Clara Rosen and the other cases OF
similar nature within the last two
years has made a blot on the fair
name of Ottumwa that can only be
erased by thoroughly purging the city
of It's vicious element
All this can and must be done by
the law. Ottumwa is able to handle
it's own affairs by legal methods, and
must not admit false helplessness
by resorting to violence.
