II Farmers Are Satisfied.


BUS Buckner, one Of the young
est and most prominent shippers and
stockmen of Audrain county, Mo-,
was here yesterday with mixed con
signment Of horses and mules which
he contributed to the days supplies.
While here Mr.. Buckner had the fol-
lowing to say with regard to con-
ditions existing in his section OF the
country: Horses and mules are yer
hard to buy in the country at pres
ent. The farmers ask outrageous
prices for their stuff and want all
most as much for the inferior, half
finished grades as for the good ones.
Feeding Is almost thing of the
past with us as hogs and cattle are
SO scarce that it is almost impossi-
BILE to procure enough to fill up the
feed lots. Corn is high, selling at
soc per bushel. / think it win soon
advance in price. Our corn crop
this year was not up to the average
on account Of the drouth that We
experienced this season. All small
grain turned out well and the hay
crop was exceptionally good, taking
everything into consideration. the
average Missouri farmer did well
this year and most Of the farmers
are satisfied with returns from their
years labor"
Stock Hogs Very Scarce.

string of fat steers that sold for

young feeder and has about 100
head Of cattle back on feed. These
will come to st. Louis when fat. The
cattle marketed yesterday had been
shortfed, gaining about pounds per
day. Mr.. Diggs fed them cottonseed
meal-four pounds head each day
and says It is a great finisher for
fcattle. He reports that 10 loads OF
cattle left his shipping station Mon
day night for the st. Louis mar
ket. Mr.. Diggs says stock hogs
are very scarce article in his
county this season and II they were
obtainable would bring as much
as fat swine. He was asked II there
is contracting of hogs for future de-
livery in Audrain county and re-
piled: mot to my knowledge. How
ever, heard the other day that in
a county adjoining ours buyer had
contracted for bunch of good fat
hogs to be delivered next September,
the price being $500 per 100 lbs"

GENERAL NEWS NOTES

secondhand dealer.
This old instrument was made
by Ganeti, one Of the famous violin
makers that flourished in northern
Italy about the same time that
Stradivarius lived. His name was
formerly on the inside of the violin
with the date of its make, but with
in the last few years the imprint has
been obliterated,
At the time of its purchase, the
figures were very dim and 1t could
not be determined whether the
date was 1903 or 1928. The in
strument has the rich, resonant tone
of the Cremona violins and the vol
ume that flows from 1t is wonderful.
Like many Cremona yiolins this
splendid instrument was purchased
for a song.
A connoisseur on yiolins who re
sides in Columbia, after examining
the instrument, told Mr.. Hamilton
that with some refittings and adjust
ments by an expert violin maker
it would be worth at least $50 AM
possibly a great deal more.
