GOOD FEEDER IMPROVES HERI
We'll Balanced Ration To What Count In Building Up Individuality and
 Quality of Swine.

There are too many farmers ani even breeders who seem to hold th' idea that a pig can feed himself an, that their whole duty ends when the, have supplied the food.
 A good feeder can keep improvin, his herd in quality and individuality and is therefore progressive and sue cessful, while the poor feeder mal take the best to be had, and in fv, generations be back to scrubs. ThiI is the difference between good feed ing and poor feeding. This is when the feeder has more influence thar the feed
 It is a clean waste to give the pig 80 to 90 per cent. of his feed in corr or meal when perhaps not more thar one-half that amount is needed ir building the various structures of his body.
 The balanced ration is what counts. This is intended to be composed of such materials as are needed by the pig to build all of his growth, to fur. nish the bone and the muscle. and all parts in proper proportion. It is shown time and again that two val. uable feeds, when combined, make g better feed than either one separate ly, because 1t comes nearer balancing the ration It is only of late that the opinion is spreading among farmers in general that the feeder is one oi the important factors, both in the sue cess of breeder and also that of a pork raiser.
 The modern hog is an artificial product, and is more readily respon sive to good treatment, or the reverse, than any other farm animal. No mat ter how much you may pay for pedi gree or individuality, if you do not know how to feed your hogs will be but little better than scrubs.

May Do Away With Fee at Mt. Vernon

which has been giving hearings to men and women representing both sides.
 The whole country is interested in this proposed change of the articles of incorporation of the ladies' Mt. Yer non society. for in every state there ia a chapter of the society, and each of these chapters has had charge of the work of restoring one of the rooms o1 the old mansion, or one of the out. buildings, or some particular feature of the grounds. The purpose of the society has been to restore the build. ings and grounds to the condition they were in the time when Washing. ton was alive. This work has been carried forward pretty well to com. pletion. In the mansion there is now almost 50 per cent. of the original furniture, for instance, while the out. buildings are all to be found there.
 The people who want the admission fee abolished say the ladies' society has been making too much moneyI that it is a close corporation, taking money from the public and expending it without let or hindrance, and pre-. sumably piling up considerable sur plus in cash. The ladies society doesn't plead guilty to these charges It says the fees are only sufficient to maintain the estate properly, that there are no large surpluses, and that the society has not at any time made it policy to earn profits from the patriotic impulses of American citf zens

 "What-on Sunday2" "To be sure," said her uncle. "I have to do the chores on Sunday as we'll as any other day."
 "Oh, l wasn't thinking of you" said the girl, whose visits to the country have been extremely few. I was thinking of the poor COWS. It's shame to make them work on Sunday after they have given you milk all week. New York Telegraph.

Kansas City Market Letter
(By J. A. Rickars, Correspondent


 Io.- After Tuesday of last week, on which day cattle sold little lower, prices strengthened, and the close of the week was little higher on everything in the killing line except bulls and calves. Bulls dropped down 25 to 50 cents and veals quit a quarter lower. Stock and feeding cattle lost some of their edge early in the week, and closed IS to 25 lower for the week. Today looks to be the low day this week, as the situation is burdened by the adverse influence of too many cat tie at Chicago, the run here being of moderate proportions, 10000 head. Prices are steady to To lower on all kinds today, except calves, which are quarter lower, tops 7.25. Best steers brought 8.oo today, and 1t is not believed that the eight dollar mark will disappear from the price list for some months ahead. Bulk of steers 6.25 to 7.25. Heavy cows bring up to 5.75, and top heifers around 6.25, bulls 3.75 to 5.25. Only I2 cars of quarantine cattle came in today, small receipts for Monday, and the market on them is steady, sales at 5.5o to Cos for steers. The top steers brought the same money today as their mates, from the same feed lot, brought week ago today. Colo rado steers from the Arkansas valley have sold at 6. so to 7.25 in in the last week. Stock steers are being shipped from Chicago to Kansas City every week now, because of the better outlet for them here, nearer the grass coun- try. Twenty-Five cars of them are here today, at 4.5o to $50. Best native stockers bring Goo and feeders $50 to 6.6o.
 There was no appreciable net change in hog prices last week, on the average, though prices were uneven. Receipts are in- creasing in the last ten days. Prices are , lower today, but be- cause of outside influences, rather than on account of there being too many here. Supply here today is I2,ooo head, including 5000 head direct to Cudahy, from Omaha. Nebraska raised a big crop of corn last season, and Omaha has been getting heavy runs of hogs for the last few months. The short number at Kansas City keeps prices here the highest on the river, top today 6.22a, bulk 5.85 to 6.2o.
 Sheep and lambs revived lit- tie at the close last week, but they are 10 lower today. Run today is I5,ooo head, and lambs sold up to 6.25, middle class lambs around 600, which is about on level with the low time last week. Yearlings bring 4.75 to $50, wethers 400 to 4.5o, ewes 3,25 to 3.oo. Colorado feeders are discouraged at the trend of the market, and shipments from there are moving at good rate already, month ahead of time. Feeding lambs bring 5.25.
