to SIT, depending on the days demand
and quality. South Dakota shippers
are in the same fix, as to rates and
prices. Southwestern prairie brings a
dollar or so more but southern ILL
nois prairie has been selling at Sill
to $13 frequently this winter, and quite
often brings less money than choice
oat or rye straw. Number / timothy
is worth $24 to $25, and Number
clover mixed $40 in Chicago today.
Chicago Duroc men tell of some out
side prices for the 1921 pig club en-
tries. Youngsters of the Cook county
rural schools have paid about 5000
each for Them" so they claim.
H. r. Strauss, president of the Du-
roc Breeders association, says: I'VE
are doing this to interest people and
to encourage the raising of purebred
stock"
In view of the fact that some of
these pigs are to be fed in sight OF
the Chicago stock yards, the parents
of those boys and girls are well post
ed as to price of market hogs and if
they are saying around 5000" for 60
to 70-pound registered gifts they are
surely enthusiastic breeders. About
1000 in prize money, a hog show,
and a chance to resell to the associa'
ton next fall, should at least give the
Cook county Duroc men some valua'
BILE advertising within the year, and
also tempt the school boy to get into
the pig club.

the use of electric lights to stimulate

show low records of last December.
Developments were mainly of a
character to discourage public interest

able statements of earnings by the
transportation companies to addition

market was apparently easier. but ac-

sparingly of commercial paper and
bank acceptances were firm on the
