Last vveek wa'f?\in ideal-one to kill hogs and the butchering season is practically over. More hogs have been kiHed- than in many years, and several will have meat to sell. This certainly is an improvement on past years. The* small grain crop is not prom ising, but there is time for it to come out. v The; Ir.bor question is still acute. Many^ farms have no labor at all.
