FACING PORK FAMINE
END OF HIGH PRICES NOT IN
SIGHT, SAY PACKERS.
Two or Three Years Will Be Neces-
sary to Supply Deficit in =
Supply of Hogs.

Chicago.-It will be a case of "King
Hog" again within a short time, if the
predictions of spectators in the live
stock market and men on the inside of
things at the yards come true.
Hogs had q spectacular rise Monday.
After brisk trading they went up to
1920 per 100 pounds, rand became the
subject of general conversation in pack
ing house circles. 1t is declared by the
bulls" that the price will rise still high
er and that the country is on the verge
of one of the most serious pork short
ages it has ever experienced.
Prices are the highest known since the
Civil War. In September, 1882, hogs
brought $685., but that was not the gen,
eral price. They sold in some PLACES then
at less than SO.
A %coterie of Eastern men, it is. as.
sumed, swooped down ON Chicago Mon
day and took the majority of the hogs
in the market from under the noses of
Armour, Swift and other big traders in
P~ackingtown. From now on. it will be
battle between the West and East over
the pork market, and the East has drawn
first blood.
The crux of the situation" said n
dealer in the yards, sis simply this:
There are no hogs in the country, COM
paratiyely. speaking. Prices are bound to
go up, and | think it is only a matter of
a short time before hogs will be selling
at $40 or more. The general market is
the highest since the Civil War.
'Why, hog was only $500 in 1909,
and it was 1878 in 1897. There were
plenty of hogs in the country and the
market went SO low that the farmer
wasn't making enough money to raise
the mortgage on the old homestead, or
anything else, for that matter. Natural
ly enough he quit, and that is responsible
for the shortage at the present"

side. Although I killed the ice on the
old hogs repeatedly with kerosene, ir
few weeks there would be lice again
on them sufficient to infest the young
pigs. The trouble was that while the
Kerosene would kill every louise II
touched, there were sure to be some
nits left to hatch out or else few lice
escaped and the oil was soon gone.
Last spring | separated my sows into
pens a few days before they were due
to farrow ard covered their backs with
a mixture of kerosene and hog lard.
The lard stayed on for several days.
When the oil was about all gone from
their backs applied 1t again. Not a
louise was to be found on either the
lows or their pigs until the pigs were
weaned, nor have there been any since.

A Country With Ono Railroad.

Persia like Turkey, Is awakening
from her sleep of centuries, and
aspires to reassume the position she
once occupied in the Affairs of the
great world. She has a constitution
and some other modern improve
ments, but she hasn't caught up with
the times enough to provide herself
with a real transportation system.
Horses and donkeys still constitute
the passenger and freight carrying re-
sources OF the empire which once
dominated the East Still. Persia has
one railroad. 1t is 10 miles long and
runs from Teheran, the capital, to the
shrine Of detunct shah. The gen.
eral manager OF this road hasn't much
trouble in figuring his ton-mile costs.
Strikes do not disturb his slumbers.
