Rsview Of Conditions.

Chicago, July S.-Arrivals in the
porcine division were not abnormal to-
day, and as a result best grades were
; cents higher. Other grades were in
clined to weakness.
Receipts of hogs at Chicago stock
yards last week totaled 10000, being
considered fairly liberal with the
weather so seasonably hot. and the
fact that Thursday was a holiday. 1t
was 81 500 smaller than the previous
week, 1900 larger than the same
week last year and 1880 larger than
the corresponding week two years ago.
Top on hogs at Chicago was $40.
or 10 cents lower than preceding week.
IS cents higher than a year ago. but
$3.50 lower than two years ago. Aver
age weight for the week figured $40.
a decline of IL cents from the previous
week, and advance Of IS cents over
the same week last year. but decline
of $40 from the corresponding week
in 1910.
Average weight Of hogs at Chicago
was 237 pounds. or one pound lighter
than the previous week. eight pounds
heavier than the same week last year
and seven pounds lighter than the cor
responding week two years ago. AL
tho the number OF heavy sows was
larger this week than the preceding
one, there were several lots OF re-
probably was the cause Of the fall
down in the average weight.
Cattle.
Cattle receipts were under 10000.
which is a moderate run for Monday.
and as a result the market was steady
for all grades and strong for the best.
A wide price spread between the
best and medium and common grades
is row in force and that it will remain
many weeks there seems positive as
surance. Western rangers, when they
begin to move with some freedom.
will only have weight in holding down
the grassy natives. altho traders are
about as equally positive that the
grassy natives will not strike a really
low basis this year as they are that
the westerns will sell at highest rates
in years, II not at new record prices.
The country faces a beef shortage
which can not be overcome for many
months and meantime beef Is going to
cost the consumer a higher price than
in many years. and likewise the raw
material will stand the slaughterer a
relatively high price.
The trade looks forward to quite
good demand for this week, since last
weeks supply has been among the
smallest Of the season, but it must be
borne in mind that beef consumption
is at low ebb now that weather is hot
test OF the year to date. and with beef
costing practically record prices, the
consumer can hardly be censured for
slowing down in purchases.
Sheep.
Sheep were steady to 10 cents high

A Boston couple of middle age

their visit took a great fancy to an
old colored woman. When they
left Augusta, they invited her to
pay them a visit, which she accept
ed with the understanding that they
were to pay her expenses.

was given a room in the house OF
the white folks, and was invited to
have her meals at the same table
with her host and hostess.

I'm Going Back to See Mother.

III OOln8 DaCk 10 gee m0CneI.
I'm going back to see mother"
were the words of Carson county
farmer to the editor of the Daily
Panhandle in a hotel lobby.
You see she's getting old and
there will come a day, no telling
how soon, when | won't have any
dear old mother to 60 see."
Hear these words, kind readers.
Read them again. l have repeated
them a hundred times myself. You
have heard sermons and so have
that deeply touched our emotions,
but here is sermon with beau
tiful chord that sinks in my heart
and stays.
Going back to see mother" No
nobler words could be spoken. No
man who neglects it is at all noble
regardless of how he's honored.
Can't you see that dear old moth
er's eyes straining down the old
lane by the trees? Can't you hear
her sweet voice as you bend over to
kiss her? Hear her say my boy"
as her arms fold round you? Feel
the tears OF joy and tenderness that
touch your cheek in love? Listen!
She crying. That dear little moth
er whom you have neglected so
long.
Of course you intended going
last year, you know. and the year
before twas the same, but some
how something prevented, of course
you just couldn't take time. If you
have a mother living, listen, kind
readers, and think. Some day you
will take time to take the saddest
trip of your life. You will 90 back
to the old home and walk up the
old lane by the trees, but no dim
eyes will watch you, no angel voice
will speak, no arms will fold you. no
heart will beat happy for you.
Friends will try to comfort the pain
and remorse of your soul, but your
heart will be broken and you will
say over and over again, Why
didn't | come back befOre?"
Go back and see your mothers,
men. Not next year or this fall but
60 soon. Go back and live over
with her those days of long ago. Let
her cook you that dinner that she
planned so long. Let her tuck the
covers round your bed just like she
used to do. Visit your mothers
while God permits you to visit
Heaven and feel the touch of an
angel still on arth.-Exchange.

Poultry.

Sow a patch of rye and crimson

One OF the best animal foods,
both to induce egg production and

Do not expect the same results

methods of care and management.
This is the season when fowls die
from what is supposed to be chol.
era or paralysis, when the real cause
is SunStroke.
Even IN the summer time those
big heavy fowls that dislike to for
age far from their yards should
have plenty of grit handy.
Before the summer season is owe
gather a barrel of road dust anc

New corn from the fields is
