The Oak Dale Farm Show.

{ A crowd variously estimated at from
20. 900 to 5000 attended the poultry
show last Sunday at the Oak Dale
Farms. Late in the afternoon the
management stated that over 1000 au-
tos bad been numbered, which with an
sverage of four to the auto would
make nearly the latter figure.
The airplane fights by Lieut.. Rsth
and "Red" Maxfield were very good,
a. were the vaudeville attractions and
the music by the Austin and Leroy
bands. Speakers on poultry topics
added to the program of the day. The
immense crowd wondered over the
large yards and through the buildings
and marveled at the fine poultry and
the completeness of the plant, one Of
a.. biae 1tatures Of which was the 5000
egg incubator which is constantly in
operation and daily matches its quota
of little White Leghorn chicks.

Crazy Balleoning Of Prices.

Hogs went up to $3.50 the other
day. They are bidding them up. It is
said that Canadian buyers are still in
fiuencing the prices to fulfill their Eng
lish contracts. Tney must have the
hogs. 1t is . temporary snap for the
farmers but it is an unnatural eleva-
ton Of prices. Every right thinking
man must regret such bailooning rath-
er than rejoice in it. The truth is that
corn and hogs ought both to come
down. No man Of any business out
look caa feel that sneh prices will be or
ought to be permanent. or even. long
continued. The bprocsases Of marking
up everything has to come to IN end,
or there will be . smash up somewhere.
Imitation is always one of the worst
things for . country and the people who
reap the benefits Of such movements
may afterwards be compelled to suffer
for it. The same remarks apply to
some land prices that have recently
been made in Iowa.
It might be more popular to shout
with the rest of the boomers and spec
ulators and boast and brag on Iowa,
but men who think Alright know that
it is all more or less fictitious and the
fictions do not last in business. Let US
