MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City, January 31, l'»lo.
Cattle prices declined rapidly tin
tirst half of last week, although re
ecipts were below normal, but there
were signs of strength Thursday and
Friday, with positive advances on she
stuff. The unsettled trade in meats
caused packers to bold their orders
down to a minimum last wee,thereby
discounting somewhat the effects of
the reduced run, and tlie general mar
ket closed the week with a net ipss
of la to 3a cents. Today the supply
m (1,0011 head, smaller even than on
hut Monday, and if became the buy
er's turn to show anxiety. Every
body was riding hard as long as the
apply lasted and prices today were
10 to 1.5 higher on ail kinds. Most
dealers believe that the boycott has
spent its for. e, although caution in
marketing is still urged, as buyers
can use tile boycott as a boar argu
ment for a while yet, which would be
ioiue more legitimate the larger tie
run. Nothing prime is here today,

TO DRAIN THE NEMAHA.
PetitioVi For Articles of Incorporation
For Drainage District Filed.
A petition has been filed in the of
fice of tlie clerk nf tiie district court
fur liic incorporation of a drainage
i district comprising some lti.000 acres
of land in southern Otoe and northern
Johnson counties. The signers rep
i resent holdings of 10,000 acres and
are much enthused over the prospect
of getting the district laid out so the
Nemalm river can be straightened
md, doing away with the disastrous
floods which, about every year, ruin
ic crops on I le lowlands
(Jeorge If. lleinke, of Ihis city, is
attorney for live petitioners and says
that ihere is hut little opposition to
ihe project. The ditch will start on
the county line near Tnlmage, thence
north for a mile or so, striking the
non h fork of the Nemaha and tlienee
up Wilson cre« k to within a ft w mlh
of Syracuse. The ditch on the south
branch will cross over into Johnson;
county coming about three miles!

REMARKABLE RECORD.
$1,108.41 Clear Profit on Twenty-two
Sows in One Year.
$1,108.41 profit on tienty-two sows
in one year seems almost like a fairy
story, yet that is a record that our
worthy fellow citizen, Hon. John P.
Thlessen of Jansen is prepared to
substantiate.
Mr. Thiessen is a methodical farrn
I r and carefully keeps a debit and
< redit account on all the stock he
handles, which enables him to tell
what department of the farm is pay
ing him tlie best.
While the ease in question lias |
yielded him considerably better than |
the average, vet lie says he hopes to
do as well m xt year, provided every
body in the country does not go to
ing hogs after r ading this Item.
We are reproducing his figures.which j
will certainly lie i t i ■ : eg at least i
to those who are engaged in the hog)
business.
In Nov ember. I Mis. he bought twen
ty two brood sows. He had unusually!
good luck with tin offspring of tltese
sows which contributed very mater-!
•ally to the profits of the venture. .
In April these sows had 17ft pigs, of 1
Hi se I.'i! survived, or an average of j
rly . • a pi - to n sow, Kereiiilj
tie shipped a ear load, containing 102
ef young hogs to the St. Joe
markets. These hogs weighed on aa
average of 193% pounds each, and
brought. $8.40 ' per hundred, or
$1,608.05 over and above the cost of
transportation and other expenses
connected with the shipment. He
then sold the original twenty-two sows
for $15.00 each. But here are his
figures:
Expenditures.
22 old sows .$ 360.00
2,060% bushels of corn .... 1,055.71
One boar. 18.50
Shorts and other feed. 164.65
Labor in feeding same.. .. 143.00
Coal . 12,00
Total.$ 1,753.86
Receipts
Sale of boar.$ 20.22
Twenty-two old sows. 418.00
Five hogs butchered worth., 0
Carload j oung hogs sold.. i ,fio - 05
46 young sows on hand .... 736.00
Total.$2,862.27
TaKtng the expenditures from ilils
total it will be seen that Mr.
Thiessen lias realized the very hand
some sum of $1,108.41 clear profit.
If any one in Jeff* run or surround
ing counties can beat this record,
we would like to hear it, and until
ueh time as we do, we shall award
Mi. Thiessen the medal as the cham
pion lies raisi r in southeastern X -
