PROFITS IN LIVE STOCK.
Large Gains in Amounts Paid Farmers
Sheep and Lambs Sold.

ST. Paul, Mimi, July ga gain of
$6,O0O.oOO in the amount paid to the
farmers, of the Northwest by meat
packers and other buyers of live stock
at South ST. Paul is indicated by the
figures of the Packington bank clear
ings for the first six months of the
present year. From January to July
the total was $24.34O. 1925. while $1S.-
342,401.73 was the total for the same
period in the past year.
While part of the gain in banking
operations is to be attributed to the
growth of South ST. Paul. President j.
u. Flanagan of the Stock Yards Ma
tional Bank ascribes by the far the
greater portion of the increase to the
enlarged operations of the market and
the higher prices that packers have
paid for stock purchased from the
farmers. The average gain of
81 100000 a month at the South ST.
Paul yards reflects the growing mag
niture OF the live stock industry in the
Northwest and also that of the local
market.
1t further indicates that farmers in
general are engaging more extensively
in live stock raising because of the in
creased profits and that confidence in
the business has been restored since
the 1907 season and is now more firm
ly fixed among Northwestern farmers.
President Flanagan says that he
places no confidence in the reports
that have come from some sources
that the fall business at the stock yards
will be materially affected by the
heavy marketing. of stock during June,
caused by the drying up of pastures.
He cited similar forecasts made about
this time last year with regard to the
1909 run, and points out that the pre-
dicted falling off in business failed to
materialize, but that, on the other
hand. all previous records for ex-
penditures for live stock at South
Saint Paul for corresponding periods
were shattered.
Prices received by farmers for hogs
during the six months period just
closed were by far the highest ever
paid during so extended a period of
time and account, in large measure.
for the $6.000.000 gain. In spite of
the fact that receipts OF hogs during
the first six months this year were
only 373,45S, compared with 43S.s76
last year. a loss of nearly Is per cent,
packers have paid more money for
hogs than during the same time in
1909
Cattle prices have not undergone
the sharp changes which have been
apparent in the swine trade. and at
present are on very satisfactory
summer level from the standpoint of
the stockman.
Values of sheep and lambs. which
have but recently worked to low level
because of heavy runs at all markets
of the country. have been high during
the gerater part of the first half of
this year and packers have paid, rec
ord breaking prices for this stock also.
Receipts increased about per cent.
over last wear.

objector answers that the egg crop.
save for a period in midwinter. is one
that is coming in during the entire
year, then it is appropriate to point to
the hay crop, which shares with the
egg and the corn crop the three highest
places in the honor roll of value.
Compared With Hay.
There is no such speculation in hay
that great exchanges are organized ex-
cllsivcly for it's worship. Yet here is
a crop harvested during a relatively
small part of the year and required
during all the rest of the year. No
body ever heard of a corner in hay
that necessitated the panic stricken
bears rushing special trains on mere
from New orleans and calling liners to
run under forced draught from Liver
pool in order that maturing contracts
might be met. II we had such opera
lions, ii is q fair guess that the farm
'ers who are most concerned would
make their ideas known to their rep
resentatives in Congress in no very
uncertain fashion. And after all, one
always comes back, when discussing
cotton speculation in it's relation to the
trade. to the fatal admission of the
New York Exchange when Theodore
Price charged a few years ago that it's
contract was a gambling contract be-.
canse it carried delivery of a grade Of.
cotton so~over-valued as to be CONNER

Milo Maize For Horses.

The farmer who plants good acre.
age of milo has practically insured for
himself a good supply of grain for his
work teams. Horses and mules have
stood hard work well all summer. such
as breaking prairie, with no grain but
milo. Horses doing heavy farm work
should be given three good feeds of
milo grain day. Milo in the head is
usually fed, one-half more heads being
given at a feed than would be given
ears of corn. Most teamsters prefer
to feed milo in the head to horses. cut.
ting the main stem off close to the
head The main stem of the head and
the rhany little stems that hold the
seeds force the horses to do Il large
amount of chewing before the feed can
be swallowed. and this mastication
grinds the grain and mixes it with
the saliva, greatly increasing the pro.
portion digested.
The seeds of milo are small, aid
where the thrashed seed is fed to
horses it is chewed very little. aud
much of the seed passes through un-
digested. Feeding milo in the head
saves all expense Of preparation. and
the small stems Of the head eaten with
the grain seem to aid In dlluting the
grain in the stomach, making 1t more
digestlble.

Onion Queen of Northwest.

Miss Alice Turner of Dayton, Wash,
is being dubbed the onion queen of the
Pacific northwest. Last season she
planted and harvested ten acres of on
ions and cleared above all her ex-
penses $3.50. The crop was an i'm.
mense one, being raised on new land
and watered with artesian well water.
Miss Turner came into possession of
small farm by the death of her father
a year ago. She was at a loss to know
what to do With the old home and her
mother, when she decided to become
an onion grower all by herself. She
engaged men to plow and plant her
acreage to onion seed and throughout
the summer superintended the weed
Ing and watering of the crop. In spite
of maHy scoffings from nelghbors, who
declared onions would be worthless
last fall. she persevered and now is
envled by all. The total crop was pur-
chased by a New York commission
man for distribution to merchants in
the east. Miss Turner realized 70
cents a sack for the onions, which
Yielded nearly 1000 sacks an acre.
