CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Nov. Corn prices weak
ened today in sympathy with the New
York stock market. and owing to
weather conditions likely to promote
the movement Of new grain. Selling,
however, was not of an urgent char
acter. According to a leading author
ity. crop reports >indicated that the
yield per acre was about X Of a bush
ell more than had been figured on Oct
ober /, but that husking was late and
damage to quality more sever than was
expected. Opening quotations, which
ranged from Nc TO Nc lower, with
December $1.17A and May $1.12X to
$112M. were followed by moderate
additional setback.
Covering by shorts led to gradual
rally in the last half Of the day. The
close was unsettled at $1.17A Decem-
Der and $1.13A May with the market
as whole varying from &c decline to
Nc advance compared with "a hours
before.
), Oats were easy owing to the down.
turn in corn. Rural offerings remained
small.
Upward jumps in hog prices carried
provisions higher.

HOG FEEDING
Is DISCUSSED
PROF. EvvARp OF AMEs TALKS
TO LARGE MEETING OF FARM.
Frs At CLUB.

How to raise hogs economically and
produce pork for the market with a
fair margin of profit for the farmer
feeding the animal, was told last night
at large meeting Of farmers in the
Commercial club by Professor John
W. Evvard of Ames. The speaker is
one Of seven men appointed by Food
Administrator Hoover to investigate
the swine situation.
What hogs should be fed and the
substitutes to be used when the prices
of feed are too high to make feeding
hogs profitable for the farmer, were
dealt with considerably by Professor
Evvard and his hearers paid close at.
tention to his remarks. The impor.
lance Of the hog as farm product in
this vicinity was demonstrated In the
interest manifested by the audience
last night, for those present came
from various parts Of the county.
The speaker said that the govern.
ment would regulate the situation SO
that the product would not be exported
at a price less than the cost Of pro-
duction and would insure the farmer
q profit for his labor and investment.
He explained the best results obtained
by series Of experiments by govern
ment experts in the feeding Of hogs.
Corn and tankage and corn, corn oil
cake meal with the latter to cut down
the tankage were referred to as excel
lent feeds. Alfalfa, tankage and milk
were cited, but the inability Of many
farmers to feed much milk precludes
the use Of this menu to very great
extent. Oatmeal, hominy, wheat mid
dlings were also mentioned. Rape and
corn were referred to as good for
young pigs.
Questions were answered By Pro
lessor Evvsrd at the close Of the talk.

TEAM RECALLS EXPERIENCES
IN MINOR LEAGUE,

Ned Egan, who successfully plotted
the Ottumwa club In the Central assoc
citation to victory three successive
years, 1911, 1912 and 1913, is being
featured in series Of stories BY Ed
Smith, sporting editor Of the Chicago

Ned had in the bush leagues. The
series is run as interviews in which
Egan is the story teller. The follow.

to stop:
1T happened in game at Mason
CITY Ia, one day a couple Of months
ago Danny O'Leary. well-known
minor league manager, was handling
gang OF nondescripts in the Central
association. This, by the way, is not
the veteran OLeary who has BEEN
around Chicago for = good many
years.
II had the Muscatine team At the
time and we were visitors 1t Mason
City.
The Fatefui Ninth.
The game was close and exciting,
but in the ninth inning We had them
q tally to the good. Going into their
half they needed one run to tie and
two to win. The situation finally
came to where there were two out
and man on first base. The next
fellow up hit sharp single to right,
in between the felders. The fellow
on first had good start and made
third without even drawing throw
to catch him.
: But he wasn't satisfied WITH that
OLeary was coaching at third and
signaled for him to pull up at that
bag. But the runner had his head
down. tore past third and made for
the plate like. an express train. He
pulled tremendous slide, but was
caught easily, the ban being there at
least twenty feet ahead Of him. Nat.
urally, that made. the third out and
settled tho game In our favor.
o'Leary 10 Sarcastic.
\ "OLeary was froehing with rage At
this foolish display Of bone baserun-
ming that even q Ty Cobb couldn't
have got away with. He walked over
to his young player. who was brushing
the dirt OF his clothes, and steadying
his voice as much a. his feelinEs
would permit, said quietly:
Young man, let me call your 1t.
tention to something that perhaps
you didn't notice. When you made
that slide into the plato your brain
hadn't reached third base
