E © Ogburn is feeding 25 head of cattle; they will average 1,400 pounds when ready for market, about June Ist. He has 60 head of hogs that will soon be ready for market. Jacob Sweger is feeding 40 head of hogs, he has his smoke house full of nice bacon, and says he won't pay 15 eents a pound for meat next summer to cook with bacon and cabbage. Geo Price has a car load of fat cat- tle, also a car load of hogs. He is waiting for a raise in the market. Mr'8 Sells has been quite sick for a few days, but is improving. Uncle John Winegardner says he has made big money this season by not feeding cattle and hogs. Uncle John isone of the successful stock dealers in this part of the county. Ben Ireland has thorough bred hogs; parties wanting a good stock of hogs will do well tobuy of him. Jas Shelton and J W Speers are pre- paring to farm ona large scale this season. G W Caliahan and EC Ogburn have bought them a new corn planter, and have already 40 acres of corn in. WH Shelton and T J Alexander think they have not lost any money by not feeding cattle and hogs at the present prices. Jas E Kash has the finest oats in the county; they were sown very early. SB Kash is feeding some stockers and a fine bunch of hogs. W O Dudley has located in Johns- town permanently; he is a thorough mechanic. Uncle Thomas Wolfe is still repair- | ing wagons and buggies.

Several farmers in Spruce township have sown flax. om MeCombs planted corn on north os * Summit Items. Yes, you're right, it’s an Easter storm. Wheat and oats look a differ- | ent shade of color since struck by the cold wave.

Mr A W Stearns, it seems, is going to prove himself a farmer, as he did a newspaper man. He never saoks back, but strikes to the point, hit or miss. Squire D. G. Newsom passed | through Summit last week on his way to Mingo township. Itcheersus | up to meet the old squire and hear him talk over the political situation. He is not running for office either but for fully as laudible an enterprise. Quite a large crop of broom corn will be put out in this locality the present season. More flax and oats and less corn seems to be about the Highest of all in Lea x Pow feel like hunting a health r | fence up. Royal way it’s shapingup. We don’t know how it will be next fall but predict less cattle feeding than usual. Let us make a suggestion to the cattle feeders of the county. All come up to Butler, have their pictures taken ina group, then start a_ few men out with one each to exhibit charging a small amount for every one who wishes to see it, of course all will see it if it takes half a dollar, we cold name a better way to overeome a poor job but think the one named will do if matters get no worse. There is one more wedding due soon in Summit, if reports are true, can’t tell where to place it but hope to enjoy some 6f the cake when it takes place. Mrs. Amma Smiser will return to school at Warrensburg Sunday even- ing. Heis highly pleased with the school and is progressing nicely with his studies.

Mr Barnaby stated that a neighbor of bis bad fed 2,000 bushels of wheat to cattle and it was all ground.

As has been the case from the first, these communications are yery largely appeals to the Presi dent to exercise the veto power. It 1s stated in fact that there are ten requests for a veto to one asking the President to sign the bill. The seign iorage bill was taken to Mr Thur ber late Monday eveniug, March 19 Mr. Thurber receipted for it unde: that date, aud inthe evening told the Presidert of its arrival. Tuesday morning Mr. Thurber took the bill to the White House. The ten days at the expiration of which the bill would become a law should the President take no action, begins from the date of receipt giyen by the President's private secretary | Suuday, however, is not counted in making up the ten days. The Presie dent may, therefore, hold the bill until Friday, March 30, and on that day return it to the House with lis “SPRING TIME. The Best Season ot the Year to Treat Chronic Catarrh.
