Although you profess to believe

o1O1X Clby, Oct. "a, Z y. m.--Buy-
ers were complaining that sellers were
asking higher prices for their holdings
of killer stock this morning but no
better than steady prices were bid at

finally realized that higher rates were
out of the question and cashed in on
about a stead basis compared with the
previous day, There was trife more
life to the deal on stock and feeding
cattle and for the most part prices
were just about az good as Wednes-
day, especially on the good quality
yearling grades of feeding stock. The
market has dropped a little this week
and is quotable around a quarter down
compared with the close of last week.
A reaction in the hog market re-
suited in a price basis established
that was a big nickel higher. Better
markets were reported az outside cen.

to the trade and the offerings were

sell conforms to the standard pre-.
scribed by law.
If milk contains less than three per
cent Of fats, or less than twelve per
cent Of solids, or NOR than ss per
cent Of watery fluid, the Ohio law
says IT is adulterated. This is not a
severe standard. as the milk from ey.
en- an ordinary COW, If She is only fair
ly well cared for. will rarely fall be.
low the test. While the standard II.
self is not severe, the penalty for yio-
lating II is.
MIX is one of the most important
items in the daily rations Of every
body. especially inyalids and children.
and the appalling infant mortality in
cities during the hot months is often
traced directly to impure, unwhole-
some and adulterated milk. Statistics
prove that in one of our large cities.
where the local board of health. with
the assistance OF the state department,
conducted vigorous campaign
against adulterated and unwholesome
milk, the infant mortality was % per
cent less in 1911 than In 1910.
The hot summer months are almost
here and the vigilance of the State
Dairy and Food Commissioner and his
inspectors against violators of the
dairy laws will be increased, and local
boards of health will be granted on
request all the assistance the state de-
partment can give.
The sanitary inspection law of this
state requires that all creamery and
condensery operators, ice cream manu-
facturers and all other dealers in milk
and cream, and their customers. must
cleanse all receptacles used in ship
ping milk and cream as soon as they
are emptied, when same are to be re-
turned by railroad, trolley, or boat, in
order to prevent the development of
dangerous bacteria to threaten the

Mr.. William Speelman,

Dear Brother
From Mrs. Gibbbud received. Just
before / left Boston % dollars from
you for the support of a worker in In.
dia. This 1 understand is given by
the Baraca Bible Glass of the First
Baptist church. | am enclosing to you
a little statement of my trip out and
my reception here. Now about the
worker for you, think have just the
man and his name is G.. John. John
is young man who has a fair educa-
ton in Telugu. He came to me the
other day volunteering to go to the
farthest part of my field He has gone
there to most needy section. There
are few Christians, but on account
of the isolation from the rest of the
field, they are rather in a backward
condition, but John is doing his best
TO help the poor Christians and to
preach to the non-Christian communi-
ties in the villages round about. John
has asked me to send one or two more
men into that section of the field if
can manage to secure them as he be-
lieves there is a good opening at this
time to prosecute our work in that sec
tion. Johns father has been preach
ing for many years; his brother and
sister have become teachers and
preachers and now he has entered the
service, for which I am very grateful
And now what more shall we say
about John. He is there alone and we
will pray that God will bless his work
from turning many from darkness in
to His light.
With very best regards to all the
members of the class and yourself.
Some time l will try to send you a
photograph of John.
Very sincerely yours,
GEO. H. BROCK.

OHIO'S WHEAT HARVEST
Will BE A FAILURE

The following is the official report
Of the Ohio Department Of Agriculture
on the condition OF crops and area OF
oats up to May /. The following re.
port, reference to wheat, fruit and
other crops, is compiled from returns
received from official correspondents
OF this department:
Wheat-Condition compared with
average-44 per cent.
oats-Area for 1911 as returned by
township assessors ,460,312 acres.
Oats-Area sown this year compared
with 1911-12S per cent.

vest of 1912-1,S ,921 acres.

Barley-94 cents per bu.
Oats-60 cents per bu.
Rye-S9 cents per bu.

Hay-s25.00 per ton.
Ohio's 1912 wheat harvest will be
failure. Not only is the growing plant
in poor condition, but large acreage
of the original area seded has been
abandoned. This will necessarily fur
thur reduce the production. We quote
no figures reference to the abandoned
area, but from correspondents notes,
no doubt it has been such as to seri-
ously affect the harvest. Generally,
early sown wheat is reported in fair
condition. The exception is the north
west section of the state. In this sec
tion little or no wheat remains, and
that growing is in exceedingly poor
condition. The present condition ei
the growing wheat plant for the state
as a whole is estimated at A per cent
compared with an average. This is
a decline in condition of II per cent
since issuance of report one month
ago. Condition by state sections fol
low: northeast, 49 per cent; south
east 72 per cent; northwest 20 per
cent; southwest A per cent. No ma
trial damage by Hessian fly or other
