SHORTAGE OF HOGS NOW.

This country is experiencing short
age of hogs such as it has not had for
years. The shortage was caused in
part by the high price of corn which
was the result of the drouth last sum-
mer and by the great scourge of hog
cholera. The relative price of corn
and hogs has been such for the last
three or four years that frequently
the farmer was tempted to sell the
corn rather than raise hogs.
1.-THE loss from cholera in all the
hog states last fall and winter was the
heaviest ever known" said II. j.
Waters, president of the Kansas Agri-
cultural College, yesterday. "And
the spreading of the disease caused
thousands of hogs to be forced on the
market in an unfinished condition.
They were thin and light. Hogs that
should not have been marketed until
they weighed 225 pounds or NOR e
were marketed when they weighed loo
pounds or less.
''Many brood sows. were sold so that
the number OF fall pigs was less than
usual. These pigs will not be ready
for market until midsummer or next
fall. This springs pig crop was the
poorest in many years. The sows
we're weak and the weather was bad,
causing a heavy loss ranging from 20
to Is per cent of the pigs farrowed
The average of the country this spring
probably would be less than five pigs
from every sow.
''It will take good corn crop next
fall and two years breeding to bring
the hog supply back to the normal.
Heavy and very fat hogs are selling
at premium now, as they always do
when corn is scarce or when there is
a shortage of hogs. There is short
age of lard and heavy Sides
Twelve Berkshire sows owned by
the college narrowed lob pigs this
spring. They raised 80, making an
average Of about seven pigs from every
SOW. Thirteen Duroc sows farrowed
132 pigs. The Duroc sows raised 101,
or almost eight pigs from every SOW
Six Poland China sows narrowed 43
and raised %, averaging slightly fewer
than five pigs raised from every SOW.
The total number of pigs farrowed
was 278; the number reared. 212. The
highest number narrowed by any SOW
was ID. The SOW, Duroc, raised 10
of the Ii, but two of the other Durocs
and one Berkshire raised 10 also.
SOW raised only two of the three pigs

AT END OF TERM WILL HAVE AS MUCH MONEY AS TWO YEARS

Estimates now being made of the city's financial condition show that when the present city council goes out of office in spring the city treasury will have about the same amount of money as it had when most of the members of the present council went into office year ago last April.
 Having the same amount of money in this case does not mean that the city has only just held its own as va rious Improvements have bene made, particularly the planking of the streets this year.
