record year, 1912, when the imports
from foreign countries and the islands

WAGNER'S REVIEW

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Bun spirit in
corn has revived. Leaders replace on
drives. Crop continues in trouble.
Cash corn all over west figures Y to
so cents. September corn has excel
lent chance to sell at 75c. Tempera-
lures were 100 to 104 in Kansas yes
terday. They were very high in 20
per cent of the corn belt. Very little
rain fell in "a hours to p. m. Tues
day. The Snow and Phillips guesses
of 1850 millions represent about 60
corn condition and a % bushel yield
for the entire United States. This is
the lowest yield in 20 years. The 1901
yield was 1874 bushels, 1912 yield was
292, 1911 was 239. About 20 more
corn reports arrived today. They are
worst on crop and suggest Kansas

souri, reports run so. Ohio is a drouth

Lennon Boy Raises
Pigs in Right Way

Lennon, Nov. ga most remark
able result in raising pork has been
achieved by 17-year-old Johnny Camp
bell. who lives at the home Of S. A.
Williams. a few miles north of Lem
mon in Adams county, North Dakota.
On April s. 1913, a SOW weighing $50
pounds gave birth to a litter of nine
pigs. One of them died, leaving eight
husky baby porkers. On November
Is, these same eight pigs weighed
2,194A pounds, an average of 27414
pounds each. The pigs were seven
months and seven days old, the date
they We're weighed.
For the first ten weeks, the little
porkers got their warm meals from
the mother, she getting only house
slops and Russian thistles, as, she
had the run of the farm. From that
period they were fed about forty
pounds of separator milk, along with
green corn stalks daily. This was
changed later to- about fifteen pounds
OF shorts and ground barley, which
were alternated weekly, along with
.one-half bushel to three pecks of corn
On the cob. This was their daily
ration up to the time they were
weighed.
This is no pig story as this litter
of pigs are in the pork production
contest carried on by the agricultural
department of the state Of North Da-
kota, and weekly report has been
made to the department, giving the.
number of pounds fed. and what the
feed was. The weights are true and.
accurate. as more than a dozen OF
the neighbors were present when the
farmer expert Of Adams county
weighed them Johnny Campbell who
raised the porkers, halls from the corn
belt OF Nebraska. He is but II years
old. and has a remarkable growth

Mrs. Kaufman
Called BY Death

Sioux Falls, Nov. 1s.-Mrs. Emma
Kaufman, aged so years, widow of
the late Moses Kaufman, died at the
McKennan hospital at l o'clock this
morning of pernicious anaema, after
al lingering illness.
Mrs. Kaufman has been in failing
health for number of years. A num-
ber of weeks ago her condition be-
came such that it was necessary to
have constant attendance, and she
was taken to the McKenna hospital
where she passed away as stated
above.
Mrs. Kaufman is survived by one
son, Charles E., of this city.
Mrs. Kaufman came to Sioux Falls
with her husband about thirty years
ago. For years Mr.. Kaufman was
prominent in business circles, and
his sudden death from heart failure
on the streets of Sioux Falls a few
years ago was a great shock to the
community. Since the death Of her
husband Mrs. Kaufman has been in
failing health and of late the decline
has been rapid.
1t was in June, 1906, that the arrest
/ of Mrs. Kaufman occurred on a
charge of having caused the death
Sof her 16-year-old domestic by a series
sof cruelties that would have tested
Sthe ingenuity OF an Apache Indian
screated a nationwide sensation.
N The story Of her arrest and the ma
Sture of the charge against her also
was widely published in the European
5press, and Sioux Falls people who
were travelling in Italy at the time had
Stheir first information Of the arrest
from Italian newspapers which print
I'd long cable dispatches about the
matter. Feeling was strong against
Mrs. Kaufman and during her pre-
aiminary hearing she narrowly escap-
SBd being mohbed by the excited pop
hlace about the court room needing

4 Because OF the sentiment against
her in her home city and county q
