DROUTH AFFECTS COST
OF LIVING--CATTLE CHEAP

The drouth is affecting the cost
OF living. Meat on the hoOf is sell
ing lower than at any time in six
months on account of cattle raisers
not being able to find water for their
stock, which is being rushed to mar
ket in unusual numbers. The con-
sumner, however. is not noticing any
perceptible change in the retail
prices and probably will not, as the
packing houses have plenty of re-
frigerating space and will hold the
meat until after the drouth is brok-
en-. This will reduce the rush to
the markets OF cattle on the hoof
and the surplus meat now being
stored will then be marketed.
Potatoes and sweet corn are feel
ing the intense heat and are be-
coming scarce in the markets. Yes
terday potatoes jumped from CSC
to 81 bushel in the Kansas City
market. On account of the hazards
Of shipping fruits and vegetables in
hot weather the trade is depending
to some degree on home products
and as > consequence prices are
high.

Disposal Of Garbage to Hogs.
From the Engineering Record.

A member OF the city council Of Chicago
suggests that garbage may be made q
source Of income to the city II Il Il fed
to hogs In the outlying districts. This
idea 10 based on conditions in Denver.
where garbage, collected three times q
week In metal boxes and sterilized, n fed
TO hogs at q farm three miles from the
city limits. About rs hogs are required
per ton Of garbage. For the 1850, 600 pop
ulation OF Chicago the size of the farm
necessary to care for the required number
OF logs. rather staggers one, to say moth
Ing Of the problem OF keeping the animals
free from cholera, q problem the IOWA
farmer with all the serums extant finds
almost insurmountable.
No. doubt the existing reduction plant
which b city has Just bargained to buy
does look k q white elephant to the
offcials about to undertake its Operation.
but In looking o for alternatives n
would seem rather nonsensical even to
propose hog-feeding which has recently
been condemned SO severely by h courts
IN Los Angeles. In some OF the mailer
New England towns garbage r. success
fully fed to hogs, but few cities OF more
than 5000 population have found IL a
lated case because Of the particularly
favorable climate conditions: the brilliant
sterilfzing sunshine Ind the dry atmos-
phere take up the moisture-laden odorR
with aVtdity. Sparsely settled districts
around Chicago are not so plentiful "a In
the onvirons OF Denver.
