Considerable activity featured dealing:!
in hogs today, with the majority of
transactions on the basis of Wednes
day's quotations.
Good light hogs, of which there was
a liberal portion in the day’s run, were
in demand at $15.50, although a scat
tered few were reported sold as high
as $15.60, the top level of the previous
day.
Heavier grades also moved freely, but
extremely heavy hogs were inclined to
work a trifle lower.
The market for pigs and roughs was
practically unchanged.
Cattle.
Receipts. 1,300; market slow and 25c@
$1 lower.
A sharp setback occurred In cattle
prices, largely the result, according to
buyers, of the lack of desirable grades
of beef.
Choice and fancy grades of steers,
which have been rising steadily recently,
were scarce, and the easing off of 25c in
the price represented a decline in quality
of tne offerings.
Common and grassy stuff was offered
at substantial concessions, but this hail
little effect in stimulating buying.
Calves.
Receipts, 700; mnrket weak.
On the absence of eastern buying de
mnnd a further recession of 50c@$l was
brought about in the enlf market.
The best calves sold at $146115. with
several fancy calves bringing $15.50.
Most of the buyers spurned the com
mon stuff entirely.
Sheep and I-anibs.
Receipts. 300; market steady.
A little more activity was noted iu the
mutton section, but prtces were un
changed.

SOME CHICKENS
ST. LOUIS, Mo.. Juno 17. —Here Is
“some chicken!”
Besides laying the average-size egg of
from one to two ounces in weight every
day, a light Brahma hen belonging to
Mr. and Mrs, Joseph Busch, of No. 4114:1
Hartford street, recently broke the hen
fruit record with nil egg Weighing 5V4
ounces. The Bu sells declare they feed
the hen only the regular chicken diet.
TOPEKA, Kan., .Tune' 14.—A curiosity
in the shape of a'chicken was hatched in
an incubator owned by Gilbert Vaughn,
of this city, a few days ago.
The chicken, if it can be so called, pos
sesses four legs and the extras are so
well developed that it is well-nigh im
possible to distinguish them from Us
"regular” sot.
Aside from the “extras,” which it uses
with equal adeptness, the "bird" is nor
mal.
MOSCOW, Idaho, June 17.—Thirty
years ago a woman here found a fine
opal in the crop of a chicken. This
led to the discovery of a rich mine,
which, because of high cost of mining,
was abandoned. Many rich gems were
almost forgotten, Is to
GRAIN DEALINGS
LACK SUPPORT
Prices Give Way Before Light
Commission Selling.
CHICAGO, June 17.—Larger receipts
and heavy selling forced prices down
on the board of trade today.
Reports of bad weather In the grain
sections offset to a considerable extent
the heavy selling. /
Reports of good demand for corn on
the Pacific coast prevented sensational
declines, traderg said.
Industries influenced by a liberal run
of grain, reduced their bids for cash
corn around 5 cents, forcing a sharp
break In all grain futures. More favor
able crop weather and the estimate of
increases of 35 to 40 cars in both corn
and oats gave the market a heavy un
dertone most of the day, and while pit
sentiment continued bullish, traders
were inclined to buy only on the breaks.
Trade was almost entirely local, last
night’s storm crippling wire service ex
tensively.
Buying by a leading cash interest
served to eheck the decline In corn fu
tures in the first hour and prices ’moved
up to yesterday’s closing level, when
early sellers tried to cover. The market
ruled Just under that level most of the
session, but slumped abruptly when the
spot market collapsed.
Oats followed the course of corn
closely, but moved in narrower range.
At the close July corn was l%c under
the previous close aud September off
1%(g1%e. July oats were l@l%e lower
and September off l%c.
Pork finished 12%@15e under the
previous close; lard 12%e lower and ribs
7%c down.

(By Thomson & McKinnon.)
—June 17—
Slightly larger receipts than were ex
pected. withdrawal of shippers from the
market after moderate buying, together
with crippled wire service, conspired to
bring about a very slow demand for the
deferred deliveries.
Toward the last, lending industries
withdrew from cash market, announcing
that their needs were supplied.
It Is not known whether this referred
to today's needs or whether they have
secured fairly good accumulations.
If It should develop that they have
enough corn on hand to keep them
out of the market, except in a non
competitive way, prices may drag some
what lower.
A further reaction would benefit the
market, but we lean to the belief that
there is little iikellbood of any move
meut from the country sufficiently large
to bring about a disappearance of the
existing premiums for cash corn.
Deferred months have sympathized with
corn, being influenced also by ideal
weather, cool and showery.
However, there is no uneasiness in
cash, receipts still being below current
needs, with price lc to 2c higher. We
see no valid reason for the extreme dis
count for the September delivery.
Slight decline* in hogs and the ac
tion of graius were Influences In

SHEEP RAISING l|
MADE SUCCESS
First Try Cows, but MilkinS
Does Not Appeal to Them.
BOVINA, Tex., June 17.—From a
latial home In a large city to a intis'
farmhouse in the Panhandle of Texas,
from a life of social pleasures to a,
quiet pastoral existence, from wealth in
a big city to wealth on a large sheep
ranch, all In only six years, is the story
In a nutshell of Miss Donna Gardner
mid her sister, Mrs. Jeanette Hartwell
of Bovins, Parmer county, Texas, daugh
ters of John T. Gardner, a retired manu
facturer of Cincinnati, O.
Six years ago a friend of the Gardner
family came to west Texas and bought
an irrigated farm.
Having an urban soul, however, h
soon wearied of the quiet of country
existence and fought a buyer.
Declaring they were tired of city life,
the Gardner sisters decided to purchase"
the property, notwithstanding the fact
that they had never been away from a
paved street and knew nothing of farm
ing.
With the equipment on hand, and 100
Jersey cows, together with a registered
male which they had imported from Eng
land, they wont to work.
Following the plow, milking the cows'
and feeding the hogs, however, did not
appeal to them as much as they had
thought it would.
But they were Imbued with the spirit
of the great west and couid not make
up their minds to return to city life.
So they disposed of their farm imple
ments, bought 100 sheep as a nucleus
for a sheep ranch, and got busy—which
Is the real beginning of the story.
With this cast in hand, and the pro
ceeds of the farm, which they sold, con
sidering It too small for sheep raising,
they bought a ten-section ranch and sev
eral hundred fine sheep.
The property is a part of the 3,000,000
acres of land that were granted to John
V. Farwell by the state of Texas for
financing the construction of the state
capitol The ranch Is known as the
"XIT.”
They now have 3.500 sheep pasturing
in Tom Green county and 6,000 head of
yearling breeding ewes under contract'
to be shipped from Arizona to their
ranch this month.
Only the best grade of sheep is han- :
died and each year’s lambs bring high
prices, as do the muttons and the wooL
During a recent visit to San Angelo,
the shepherdesses sold 100 head of reg
istered Rambouillet ewes.
Miss Gardner, like the excellent sheep
woman she Is, declined to state the price
received for the animals.
The labor problem doesn’t worry these
sheepwomen.
Miss Gardner speaks Spanish fluently
and employs only Mexican herders.
In addition to the big sheep ranch
which they operate. Miss Gardner and 1
Mrs. Hartwell have placed 700 acres in
cultivation.
The management of this end of the
business Is under the supervision of John
Hartwell, son of Mrs. Hartwell, who is
a widow.
Very naturally these efficient and en
terprising women use only the most mod
ern equipment, including a big 75-horse
power tractor.
“Certainly I am in favor of women,
voting," said Miss Gardner, when qus#®
tioned on this subject.
“They deserve equal rights with the
men and need suffrage to improve living
conditions among women workers and
children.
"Women won’t be hurt by politics, but
may Improve the order of things.
“My sister and I paid over $1,600 in
taxes in Farmer county last year, but 1
regret to say that I did not pay my poll
tax.
“Never again shall I neglect that im
portant item, sheep or no sheep.”
