Hi^he>* Pr ced Porkers.
Editor Journal:—To my way
of thin, mg, there has never been a
time in the history of the country
when there were brighter prospects
for higher prices for hogs on the
hoof than now confronts the farm-
ers of this country. While mess
pork is selling at $19.60 to $19.7.)
and the future price not especially
gratifying to the producer, we must
not lose sight of the fact that the
supply is gradually falling off all
the while, and at the same time
every year brings more mouths to
be fed.
The 1909 receipts of hogs on the
markets of Chicago, Kansas City,
St. Lewis, Omaha and St. Joe
numbered more then 3,000,000
head short of the receipts for the
preceding year at the same markets
and for 1910 the decrease is even
greater then it was last year, being
on the 20th day of this month
3,402,000 less than the receipts for
1909.
Approximately, this means a falling
off in the receipts at these five
markets in the last two years of
nine and one-half million head of
hogs as compared with 1908, so
that to look forward to anything
but a shortage in both pork and
lard prices would, to my way of
thinking, be absurd. Such a thing
is possible as to get pork so high
that people will refuse to buy it,
but on the other hand such a thing
is possible as to witiness a shortage
that will make prices soar higher
and higher, and this, it seems to
me, will be the culmination of the
present situation within the next
four or five months. In fact, it
would seem that nothing but
complete stagnation in business can
prevent it.
On every farm where corn and
alfalfa can be grown with any de-
gree of certainty, surely and un-
doubtedly the greatest degree of
success will attend the efforts of
producer who will put his shoulder
to the wheel and give proper care
towards the production of the three
great money making products of the
great southwest —alfalfa, corn and
pigs.

Attest P. W. ZlBGLER,
county clerk.
By Thus. HarrUle, Deputy.
—Everybody was feeling pretty
good for an hour or so Wednesday
morning. A heavy bank of clotads
rolled in and there was alight fall of
snow. This was followed by a mild
sleet storm, which went so far as to
cover the ground (In places) and while
no one has much use for sleet, our
people are ready to welcome anything
in the way of moisture. Unfortun-
ately, the high wind from the south
dispelled the clouds, and today the
dust is as bad as ever.
—For Sale—A good hollow wire
lighting system, consisting of lamp,
tank, pump, and fifty feet of wire.
All in good shape, and may be bought
heap*. Inquire at this office.
-Burchfield & Warnock are er-
tainly doing their part to get *be
money back into the hands of he
farmers in this vicinity, During he
ten days prevloas to December st,
they paid the farmers $6,800 for 1 rs,
and there is no disputing that si i a
sum of money should have a tend cy
to looeen things up a bit. One bu oh
of fifteen hogs brought$360, or an
average of $24 each.
-Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Metcalf *ft

where they will visit a c luple of -ys
