WEEK IN STOCK MARKET
ALMOST DUllEST OF YEAR
Closes with Indications That Bearish
Influences VIII he Extcnded-Many
Disturbing Factors.

NEW YORK, August 6.-Almost the
dullcst week of the year came to an
end. with Indications of an extension
of tho bearish influence which govern
ed operations to considerable cxtcft
during that period. The Indifferent
crop outlook. labor problems, local and
national. and signs OF congestion i'm
the securities market were tho pr-
many factors.
There was steady selling OF motor.
oil and sugar shares. Liquidation of
motors. doubtless, was promoted by
the cut in prices announced by the
manufactures OF popular car. Oils
followed the laws Of supply and de-
mand, it being evident that tho cnor-
NOUS quantities of raw and refined oils
had reached the stage OF overproduc-
ton. i'm the midcontincntal field at
least Sugar shares fell away largely
Tor the reason that dealings In the raw
product as we'll as the securities OF
companies recently organized, had at
tanned highly speculative proportions.
Munitions and equipments were fair
ly steady on further purchases Of sup
pics by Europe, but in these issues
increased caution was observed United
states Steel lowered around it's recent
top quotations. and the Issues of in
dependent steel and iron companies
pursued like course, trade develop
ments being altogether encouraging.
The more important railways sub
mitted very satisfactory returns for
June, although these. in the main. dis
closed some falling off from early
months OF the year. Rails were held
In check, however. by the uncertainty
attaching TO labor conditions Union
Pacific was the most conspicuous fea-
turc of that group. it's strength re-
vivinG rumors of an increased or ex-
ira disbursement Of present dividends.
Domestic monetary conditions are
working in the direction of greater

HOGS ARE MONEY MAKERS

There are not nearly enough hogs
raised in the territory outside of the

Congress has passed a bill providing

HOGS UTILIZE FEED
Make More Economical Use Of Products
of the Farm Thnn Other
Animals

one bushel OF corn without supple
monts will yield ten pounds Of pork
under farm conditions and i"n pounds
Of pork will feed more human beings
than tho same amount OF any other
meai. asserts w. a. Cochci. professor
Of animal husbandry in the Kansas
State Agricultural College.
Hogs return more profit than any-
other farm animals because they utilize
the feed more thoroughly, says Profess
sor Cochcl. When hogs arc ready to
20 on the market, they yield proper
tionately more meat than any "trcr
animals Not only do they make good
gain but one pound OF pork will feed
more human beings than any other
animal flesh in the same quantity. Hogs
are more efficient in the production OF
meat and in the feeding of the human
animal.
Years ago China found that hogs
turn the product OF the farm into more
meat than any other amman cXccp.
poultry. Hogs as they are used here
are primarily animals which are de-
vclopcd to consume concentrated feeds.
The profit Of the hog industry de-
pcnds on whether the farmers can
produce feeds on their farms suitable
for hogs Farmers should be cncour-
aged to raise enough hogs To consume
the feed produced. This practice Will
give the farmer good meat, as Well as
better returns FOR the iccG raised. The
man who stays with the hogs year in
and year out despite the ups and
downs. will prosper in the hog bust
ness. This will give him Il most in
telligcnt system OH which TO build
his live stock industry. The hog will
be the market for his farm produce
The farmer can buy concentrates re-
quired and make necessary supple
ments. IIe can use what skim milk
and buttermilk he has on the farm
and purchase tankaGc, meat meal and
linseed. Corn and skim milk come near
to being complete ration. No, mat

better II a little skim milk is added
