Hogs Are Scarce and High Priced.


The following is taken from Farm
and Fireside, an authoritative paper,
published in Springfield, Ohio:
The supply of hogs has material
ly decreased during the past few
weeks with the southern markets
Kansas City, st. Louis and FIT. Worth
showing the greatest shortage.
For the entire year these markets
have been short, Kansas City alone
showing a deficit of a half million
for the first nine months of 1912.
Omaha, Sioux City and Chicago have
received the major end of the busi-
ness, as the supply has come from
the territory tributary to these
points, but these markets, too, have
had but a half supply recently.
One alarming feature is the large
number of pigs now being marketed
in Chicago from Iowa and Wisconsin.
Scattering outbreaks of cholera have
caused many growers to play safe
and market their hogs before any
loss is sustained With such a short
supply for winter feeding as there
now is on hand it seems that these
pigs should be fed out, for every pig
slaughtered now cuts down the sup
ply for next winter twice its present
weight Many thin sows, also, are
sent to the yards. These, too, should
be fattened, in view of the present
shortage. Because Of the number of
pigs and thin sows now on the mar
ket, the average October quality has
not been maintained. The east is
getting heavy receipts of trashy
stuff, but has to come west for
prime hogs, thus Strengthening the
already strong demand for finished
hogs of any weight.
Supplies on the shelves of the
middlemen from the large packer to
the small retailer have dwindled to
almost nothing, thus making the
daily market receipts practically the
sole supply. This condition creates
an active market, but one full OF
fluctuations. The shortage has be-
come general and there seems to be
no outlook for improvement until
the winter run makes its aDDearance
which is prophesied not to appear
until after the holidays. In the
meantime values will advance and &
$40 market is probable. At present
there are not enough swine to gC
round among the buyers, especially
/ finished hogs. This has worked the
prices up till they about equal those
of two years age. They can be ex
pected to remain so until the holi
days"

Mother Receives Babe for Christmas

-NOShCi hCCclNeS DaDe IOf OnI1StmaS,
New York, Dec. 24.-The happiest
mother in New York today is Mrs.
John Williams, an IS months old
baby whom she gave up a year ago
today having been returned to her
as a Christmas present by two Vas

A year ago Mrs. Williams placed
her child in the Infants Hospital of
the Charities Aid Society because she
could no longer support him at home.
She paid his board for one month
and was unable thereafter to make
further payments.
Two months ago the baby was
sent to a childless couple here. Two
weeks ago Mrs. Williams remarked
and wanted her baby Two Vassar
girls learned of the istuation and af-
ter a weeks search located the child
and returned it to the mother.

In order to interpret the terms OF
the score card more fully, the follow
ing will serve to give the exhibitor a
definition of each one.
/. Form Specimen should be
smooth, regular and normal for the
variety.
2. Size Specimen should be of
the average size (not abnormal, THAI
is, over or undergrown) for variety
or locality of district.
8. Color Should be distinct and
show all natural characteristics OF
the variety in district represented.
4. Observation-Disclosures usually
consider uniformity of the exhibit a
very strong point. A glance at the
value of this character shows that
it carries a weight of 20 points.
The judges takes into consideration
size. form and color in determining
the uniformity of specimen.
5, Freedom from blemish-No
Intersections are allowed, such as
disease, spots, bruises, worm holes
marks of handling shriveling' or
any other thing which will cause
blemish.
6. Quality-This includes flavor
and texture of flesh. In preparing
fruit for exhibit purposes, remember
that your exhibit must come IN COM
petion with others of the same klnd
and you cannot tell what the otner
mans exhibit is going to score until
passed upon by competent judge
hence the necessity of getting togeth-
or the best specimens that can be Sc
cured.

PIRATES OUTFIELD GOOD.

Pittsburgs outfield does not suffer
in comparison with New York's.
Carvey, Holman, Wilson, Rehg, Hy-
att and Donlin look like better mat
erial than McGraw can boast Of. II
Donlin and Holman were at their
best right now Clarke would be puz-
zled as to the best makeup for the
outer garden. Under the circum-
stances it is well that he has a good
supply on hand.
The Pittsburg players are interest
ed in the news from the American
association that there is talk of a
foot race between Shelton, the for
mer Pirate, now with Columbus, and
Ralph Capron, who is with Milwau-
kee. The players having seen both
men sprint, think they know some
thing about their relative merits
and to man declare that Capron is
the faster. If Capron continues TO
do good work in the American associ-
alton he is sure of another trial with
the Pirates.

FORGER CAPTURED.

Some time ago William Bernard,

the Wood Livestock company at Spen

with a bundle of pay checks to deli

SELECTING FRUIT FOR FAIR
PURPOSES

The man who is intending to ex-
hibit horticultural products at one or
more fair this fall should now be pre-
pairing his specimens for this pur-
pose. No matter what kind of fruit
or garden vegetables one Is working
with, 1t can usually be made just a
little better than the average run Of
the crop, If slight attention is given
to the same. This attention may
consist of few extra civilizations,
more careful thinning away of crowd
ing specimens, stalking up, partial
shade, or pinching back rwigs or
pinching off leaves to- enable more
light etc. Many details which make
the specimens NOR peri act ". II read
lily suggest themselves to one pre-
pairing specimens. While each in
dividual judge at our various fairs
has his own methods in scoring
fruits, yet most of them are expected
to work under rules which are more
or less in common use and consider
ed standard. The following is typ
ical form of score card for apples
and pears.

BLACKFOOT DEFEATS POCA.
TELLO BY SCORE OF 1877

Hurrah: Blackfoot defeated Poca-
tello. At last the team has broken
that hondo that the Grove City has
had on them for the past month.
The way the local team started
out 1t looked as if it would be walk
away worse than what it was. Kim
ball lead off with walk, DeKay fol-
lowed him with another free trip to
first then DIPPED, played the hero
and slammed out three Dagger,
which cleaned up the bases. Martin
then came up with a smile on his
face and If the ball had not hit
some weeds out in the field the play
ers would be looking for it yet Well
any way he trotted around to third
and by that time the right fielder
found the ball and made an over
throw at third and Martin raced in
after DIPPED. Thorsenberg came up
and hit out fielders choice, but was
given life, on a error. and came in
with the fifth score when Slim Par
kensen came through with a clean
single over second base. That ended
the scoring in the first inning, as the
other three batters were easy outs.
The second inning was a repeater
of the first, only the boys scored3,
Dippel DeKay and our old friend
Martin being the heros in this ses-
sion. Thorsenberg had his curves
breaking fine, and four innings he
was moving the Pocatello boys
down in 1, 2, order and striking
out II men in the whole game, but
when he saw the lead the locals had
he slowed up and allowed the visit
ors to hit the ball occasionally lust

Waterloo. July 15.-As sudden as the
disease that afflicted him is the partial
recovery of the. 15-year-old son OF Mr.
and Mrs julius Willmore. S25 Kicker
street. whose case has attracted wide
attention among the medical fraternity.
For three weeks the boy neither
touched food nor rested: today he eats
heartily and apparently is we'll along
the road to recovery.
Healthy and strong as any boy OF his
age, young Willmore was seized three
weeks ago with very sudden attack
that caused complete loss OF appetite
and reason. Physicians could find no
explanation for such condition and
were unable to name the disease. IT
was different from anything that had
ever before come to their attention.
The boys agonizing screams were
incessant and after being removed to
the hospital he had to be taken back to
his home because Of the disturbance to
other patients. His trouble continued
until he wasted to a skeleton.
Yesterday he suddenly became calm
and rational, ate heartily and today ne
is getting along Yery well he re.
members nothing except that ne was
in pain.
