Recently n herd of hogs from the northwest was sold In one of the cen tral markets for $8JiO per IU0 (tounds.

Including barley, a lilN-ral amount of ; and bladder. When writing, he alfalfa, a little ground wheat, some corn and some sugar lK*et sirup. The other herd of hog* was fattened al most exclusively on corn. Not only did the northwestern hogs bring a higher price per loo pounds, but they put on flesh more iSipIdlyymd economically than the others and wero In every way more satisfactory. With the present knowledge of alfalfa grow ing no farmer, even In the strictly corn states, can llud a reasonable ex cuse for not having some of this to feed fils hogs.

FARMERS ATTENTION:! nt the May, DILI term Lanier was found guilty of the charge of kill ing an infant, and on recommend ation of the jury was given a life sentence. When tlie verdict was read to day it was clearly evident that the verdict was a popular one. Since the acquittal of Mrs. Lanier last found almost entirely in favor of Lanier. The evidence against him at his second trial was prac tically the same as in the first trial. Mrs. Lanier, who has been by her husband's side since the trial started Monday morning, was ap parently overjoyed hv the verdict today. She was happy and tears of joy were seen glistening in her eye* ns she reached for the bands of Lanier’s attorneys to thank them for their able defense of her husband. Lanier too lo't not a moment in shaking hands with his attorneys, A. D. Kstcs and J. S. Walker. The fight for Lanier was a hard one and the victory caused many to congratulate the attorneys.
