cents. the equal of the price for corn
laid down at nearby terminal markets
and well above local quotations. The
timothy hay brought $3.50 a ton,
while the mixed hay sold for less.

game again paid as high as $3.50 for
brood sows, all the sows bringing over
$40 each. All hogs were big type, and
were double immuned.
Eight horses were sold at fair but
not fancy prices, Joshua Lamott TAX

gray teams also were sold.
The machinery sale was another
money maker, the equipment going

and $3.50, 500 for spreaders. s160 for
a binder, were some indicative prices.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

II you need hay in hurry. and
plenty of it. look into the merits of
Sudan grass. The seed Is the cheap
est ever this year. We have known
1t to sell at 81 per pound in good
sized lots; you can buy it at 8 to 10
cents just now.
1t makes quick and prolific pastur-
afe if that is what you need, in this
case you can sow it broadcast, using
from IS to 10 pounds per acre. You
also can drill it in with a wheat drill
and cultivate it if you wish to cut it
but once for hay and seed crop.
This method takes less seed and the
crop is cut with a corn binder. IL
you are sowing it for hay and you
want to cut two or three crops,
or If you want rich pasture,
broadcast your seed. 1t will grow
thick and fine and can be cut
with mower, just as you cut af-
falfa, except that you let it grow about
three feet tall before moving. Seed
men claim that you can cut three
crops per season, that Sudan yields as
much hay per acre as good alfalfa,
and of almost equal value"
Sudan makes good pasture for hogs
and will last until frost One feeder
claims that he had Sudan and alfalfa
in the same field last year and that
his hogs seemed to like the Sudan
better than the alfalfa and kept it
eaten down all summer"
If planted about the time you plant
corn, or little earlier, you will have
fine pasturage by the middle of June.
1T will stand any amount of drouth, !"
it's said.
To Reduce Shrinkage.
The Berkshire association prints the
following hint to farmers who may
intend making joint carload shipments
of hogs:
when shipping in car lots it has
been found advantageous to let hogs
from different farms run together in
an open lot for awhile first, long
enough to get used to each other, 9th
erwise the hogs loaded into car and
rather cramped for room, will fight
continuously on the trip. This is some
times fatal to the animals and is
bound to cause loss in weight. The
exertion puts heavy tax on the lungs
and the hogs suffocate. A carload of
grade Berkshires handled as advocat-
ed recently established a record at St.
Louis for low shrinkage, losing but
two pounds each on journey of &c
hours when the normal shrink for
such trip is 81 pounds. according
to government records"
The Berkshire Congress.
The First Regiment armory in Phil
adelphia was the scene of the Ameri-
can Berkshire show and sale this
week, the later taking place on Fri
day, February IS.

CHICAGO, Feb. 81. - Wheat has
been higher on some export demand
and mainly from buying of the futures
by the seaboard. Greece has not yet
placed her order. Gulf bids advanced
one cent. Mills were bidding for cash
at Minneapolis. Southwest again re-
ports Green bugs but these were most
ly ignored. Southwest offerings are
not large. Corn was favored by $780,

view of the liberal increase in the last

garded as last before the present run
Of farm work. A little export business
will investigate considerable buying of

ing on dips. Look for fair advance

Milk Goat Experiments
A writer in the National Stockman
and Farmer says:
Experiments on grading up from
native and grade Toggenburg and Saa-
men does with pure-bred Swiss bucks
have been conducted by the govern
ment at Beltsville, Md. since 1911.
The average daily yield per doe in
1919 was 1892 pounds, an increase of
ZAP pounds over the 10 native does
which formed the foundation stock of
the herd. The highest milk yield for
a doe in one day is Sc pounds"
Goat milk is rich in quality, has
important feeding value and the sup
ply rarely equals the demand. 1t is
highly nutritious as an infant food,
and is frequently prescribed for in
valids.
FertiIixing the Air.
A recent announcement that the air
can be as advantageously fortified
as the soil, at least IL it could be
done as cheaply, will cause little sur
prise. The war brought the achieve
ments of the modern chemist so for
chilly to our attention that we can
hope for almost anything from this
wonder worker.
1t is said that plants cannot live
without carbon and are able to get it
only out of the air, where it exists in
the form of carbonic acid gas, the
very gas that adds the zip to soda
water Well, chemist concluded that
millions of years ago, when the great
forests grew from which our coal de-
posits were formed, that the air was
vastly richer in this gas than now.
This suggests that plants might grow
more rapidly and yield better if the
air in which they grew was richer in
this particular gas. The chemist tried
out his scheme in a number of green
houses in some of which the air was
greatly enriched with this carbon di-
oxide, in others for comparison, the
plants simply grew in common air.
Some Wonderful Results.
Well, this story is imported from
Germany We are not aware of all
the details, but the following are the
reported results: Gassed tomatoes
yielded IT'S per cent more than those
grown in ordinary greenhouse way.
Cucumbers yielded 40 per cent more;
spinach $50 per cent; potatoes $50
per cent; barley 100 per cent, and so
on, over a long list. This carbon di-
oxide is not expensive as compared
to the poison gasses used in the war.
and it is possible that house garden
ers may sometime find its use profit
able, depending partly on its effect
on the flavor and quality of the pro-
duct. The farmer will continue to
fertilize the soil. 1t will be the cheap
est thing to do.

GREAT HOPES
FOR OIL HERE
Looks Now Like Columbus Might
Soon PeeOme a Second
Ef Dorado.

There was a little excitement in
Columbus on Thursday, caused by the
report that oil had been struck at the
Billups well.
1t seems from tAe reports that have
been in circulation that the drillers
worked on Wednesday ard when they
quit work Wednesday night every
thing in the well was in good shape
When they started to lower the drill
Thursday morning it was found that
the hole had filled up with dirt and
sand about thirty-fve feet. In re-
moving this, the drllers drew up con
siderable oily sard and found a lot Of
oil on the machinery.
This gave rise to the rumor that oil
had been found, and maybe it had.
Thursday, Friday and yesterday the
drillers cleaned out the well and made
some repairs on the machinery. Drill
ling will be resumed tomorrow, anG
the men who are most closely con
nected with the work confidently eX-
pect to uncover a lake Of oil within
the next week Here's hoping their
hopes may become an oil gusher.
Saturday afternoon, Dr. J. W. Lips
comb, president Of the Chamber Of
Commerce. visited the Billups well.
He came back to town with a bottle
partially filled with black fluid that
was greasy and had an oily smell.
The Anderson Drilling Company
officials are so thoroughly convinced
that oil will be struck here that they
have withdrawn from the market AL
oil stock and units that had been
offered for sale during the past few
