to the pantry and regaled his
stomach with pint Of cold sauer

dreamed. He dreamed that the
McConnellsburg and Fort Louder
railway had been completed about
a year. The condition of bust

Out at the Union Stockyards,
McConnellsburg, things were
moving about as usual. The or
der from Lancaster for a car OF
shotes, was filled in less than two
days after Bert Holman received
it by telephone. Bert got busy
on the. local lines, called up about
twenty farmers who had from
two to eight shotes, and offered
them $6.65 per hundred spot cash
delivered at the stock yards.
Since orders for car or two of
100 pound shotes have become
frequent, many of our farmers
have made it a rule to have a pen
in readiness, because they have
found it to be one of the quick
est ways to make from $50 to
$l00 during the eight warmer
months of the year by letting the
hogs pick up most of their feed.
A look at three fine Holstein-
Friesian bulls shippedlby the pro-
prietors of Brookside Farm last
Thursday to Hon. Vance c. Nc
Cormick, Cumberland county,
made US proud of Big Cove.
An Eastern buyer tried to buy
car Of veal calves last week,
but succeeded in getting but half
a car owing to the reason that
most of the cattle in this section
are fullbloods, and no one cares
to veal the incest heifer calves.
However, by setting the day for
delivery a few days later, this
man filled the upper deck of the
car with live turkeys from the
Dane district, and in this way he
got a car of good stuff" for his
New York market. We hear
that Alex Patterson intends to
bring six Of his neighbors to this
county to purchase three cars eco
head of steers to take back to
Cumberland county to feed this
winter. 1t beats alp the de-
mand that is being made on this
county for feeders since rail-
road has made it possible to load
here and ship to owners Of corn
lands.
Strolling over to the Company
warehouses, we found Pease &
Co., our wholesale grocers, were
unloading a mixed car oforanges
grapefruit and lemons, shipped
from st. Cloud, Florida, by G. H.
Mann and Son. Hon. D. H. Pat
terson has made it an object for
the patrons of his store at Webs
ter Mills, to raise Green Noun
tain potatoes, with the result
that he is now averaging two
cars a month to Pittsburgh, and
this right in competition with the
southern Indiana and Ohio grow
ers.
Fulton county buckwheat flour
is gaining a reputation. By a
system of cooperation, six of our
mills can, during the season,
jointly and promptly fill orders
for carloads for western buyers.
The River Produce Company, st.
Louis, bought a car of buckwneat
flour from these mills recently.
There will be many more than
the usual number of patches"
sown next season in consequence
of shipping facilities.
Out in the Licking Creek ber-
ry district, competition between
the local merchants to buy the
fine dried fruits of that section
has resulted in stimulating the
production until the women, and
boys and girls have now more
pm money" than they can spend
and we have heard of several
'fat-little" bank accounts that
