It Is best never to feed hogs on the ground. It is no more natural for a hog to pick his feed up out of the dirt and mud than for any other animal to do so, although circumstances have in many cases forced him to do so. Have floors on which to feed hogs, and not only will you save feed by using them. but they will appreciate their rations much more.

ground for the cats" and yesterday one
fisherman operating nets in that water
way brought a large boatload Of the fish
to the market here. It is estimated that
from all sources more than 500 punches
of the chowder-making fish were re-
ceived by the dealers yesterday.
Practically all the fish being caught are
of the black variety. The fish are selling
at from Is to % cents per bunch. and
though the demand for them has been
good. the receipts were too heavy for the
local market, and a number OF the deal
ers skinned the fish and shipped them to
Philadelphia and New York, where they
bring big prices. Except for cats the
receipts of fish yesterday were light,

would have been ignored by spectators

international crisis formed the nearest to

f1ciently bullish to be felt throughout the
day. Weakness Of corn kept wheat low,
but there was nothing like the approach
to decentralization that was apparent yes

The change to springlike weather con-
ditions after surfeit Of arctic prospects

Corn closed within haA of the lowest

Mondays high point. The southwestern
cash markets heretofore leading in
strength were extremely downcast and
contributed in material manner to the
depression here. Receipts in Chicago
amounted to 100000 bushels more for
the week than were shipped out, and
there were reports that Argentina was
offering new crop shipments to Liverpool
at prices which would be laughed at in
the United States as incredibly cheap.

Trade in provisions was light with
values a trifle advanced. The basis for
the firmness appeared to be the fact that
hog receipts here were less than expected.

this country. For years these species
were inextricably mixed in descriptions
Of their habits. but collections OF them
were submitted to Lord Walsingham OF
Merton Hall, England, who was recog-
nized as the worlds greatest authority
on moths. From his careful diagnosis 1t
is now possible to separate and recognize
the different species as follows: Tinea
pellionella, the case-making species or
northern moth; Tineola biselliella Hum
mel, the webbing species or southern
clothes moth. and Trichophaga tapetzella,
the gallery species or tapestry moth.
