Sheep.


Sheep and lambs were about STEADY
GOOD western lambs sold around -.
Lamb trade has been featured by
dwindling supply of choice range OF
ferings that bids fair to become mucn
more pronounced as the shipping sea-
son ages and which promises to ma
terially widen the existing spread III
prices between that class and the low
er grades. The market for about all
grades of western and native lambs
that sell for slaughter is closing about
20 cents lower than a week ago, put
with closing tone Of firmness ana
strength on the good to choice classes
over weeks low point. II informa-
ton coming from local and western
sources is not at fault. the market has
seen its period Of greatest plentitude
of range lambs for this season, altho
total marketings of western sheep and
lambs promise to continue OF good
volume for several more weeks. Ma
tives are not coming in liberal guam
tity. which II it does not indicate that
they have been closely marketed,
means that owners are holding them
back in the plausible hope OF selling
them on a higher market after the
range movement has run its course.

DEEP MYSTERY OF THE LAW
Man Who Won't Support Family 10
Imprisoned and Wife Really
Pays Penalty.

Mysteries. far beyond the compre-
constantly revealed in the law and its
administration. The other day a
much-harassed woman appeared in a
Boston court and complained to the
Judge that her husband refused to
support their two small children. She
could get along without him, she said
but she demanded that he be COM
PEELED to go to work and help support
his offspring. Her story was corrobo
rated by witnesses.
So the judge found the man guilty
and sentenced him to one year in the
house of correction.
Here was what seems on the sur
face to be an easy problem. A hus
band and father. either through disin-
clination or through inability to find
work, is brought into court on a
charge of non-support In order to
relieve the situation, he is sent to the
house of correction, where he will be
kept at work. That he is not able
to send his pay envelope home to his
family every Saturday night-because
there IS no pay envelope in such
cases-is, in the eye of the law, a
minor circumstance The main thing
seems to be that the man has been
guilty of an offense and that he is
punished for it. He is punished. but
1t is his wife and his two helpless
children who pay the penalty.
The law may be ironical, but it has
no sense of humor You have been
found guilty of not supporting your
children" 1t says, land therefore
will send you where you cannot sup.

With an acreage estimated to be
per cent above the average for the
past five years. this estimate would
indicate an aggregate yield for the
state In excess Of 100000 bushels.
The hay crop this year in Michigan
Is estimated at IN tons per acre. as
compared with 1.3 in 1910.
The Michigan Farmer also reports
that apples this year suffered q drop
Notwithstanding this, however, and the
fact that the winter varieties did not
set as full a crop as the earlier var
ieties, the crop prospect Is twice as
good as 1t was one year ago. On Aug.
l the official estimate placed the av-
erage condition of the crop at Al per
cent Of normal, as compared with "a
per cent one year ago. The more IA
vorable weather which has prevailed
during August has materially bettered
conditions, so that the estimate this
year can be placed at twice that of
last year.
The crop Of peaches in the entire
state will be about IS per cent of nor
NAL. The total production, however
will be higher than Indicated by these
figures, since the prospects are better
in the fruit belt Of western Michigan
in which territory the official figures
for Aug. / placed the condition at 81
per cent of a full crop.
Livestock Conditions Favorable.
George n. Neff. OF the Daily Drovers'
Telegram at Kansas City. Mo-. reports
that the prices of beef cattle. both corn
fed and grass fed, are about the same
as at this time last year Feeding
steers average so cents per cwt. lower
than a year ago, while the finished
cattle are selling at about the same
prices as last year. With the abundant
forage crops and fall pasturage. this
present margin Of profit will induce ex-
tensive cattle feeding activity in the
corn belt.
The hog industry is in the best con-
dition for number of years. Attic
prices are lower than during the pre-
cetling period of shortage, the volume
of business is much greater and more
wealth is being distributed. Over 40
per cent more hogs have been received
in the Kansas City market this season
than the same period Of 1910, meaning
an additional distribution for the year
Of about SIS, 100000.
Sheep receipts at the Kansas City
market show an increase of "a per cent
over last year. The feeding and fatten-
ing of sheep has become an important
branch of the livestock industry in this
territory. and on the present conserva-
tive basis promises good profits this
season.
Indiana this year viii certainly have
a bumper crop Of corn. Last years was
called bumper. but this years crop
averages 81 per cent, as against s4 per
cent in 1910. The report this year
shows that Indiana has an acreage Of
$1,000 planted to corn. The wheat
crop has also been immense and is
rated at So per cent, as against IS per
cent in 1910, and a ten-year average of
50 per cent. The report gotten out by
the department of agriculture, July 10.

something for US. 1t seems to, be the
custom. and it all counts up.
This year. for instance, sent the
folks along weekly the little check for
their board and their other moderate
expenses-and they are always careful
about those-and everything Is going
along very pleasantly and I see US set.
Ting the financial problem very nice
ly, and then week or two before they
are coming home we put down a little
memorandum of the tips to give when
they come away. and do you know
that this year these amounted to $50

Just as it does every year-quite
little jolt. ! know it's coming. but

You know what Lincoln said about

ditions are much above the average.
Ths hay crop 10 fully three times az

an increase of 43,895,00 bushels over
last year. and the flax crop will yield
from 1O,O0O,00O to 12.00O.00O bushels
However, the returns from this great
area in dollars and cents are far from
discouraging and the farmers are well
satisfied.
South Dakota, except In few spots,
is in better shape this year than last,
especially in view of the recent heavy
rainfall all over the state. This last
rain practically insured big crop Of
flax, of which there is a large acreage
in South Dakota. Flax prices will tna
evitably be very high during the mar
keting Of the 1911 crop, because there
is absolutely no surplus of flax car
ried over from last year.
An extraordinary gain in South Da-
kota's wheat acreage was revealed by
wheat in the spring of 1911. South
Dakota mad S,500,O0O acres. or about
a million acres more than was credited
to that state early in the season. This
