More than 25,- 000 cards were placed In the hands of farmers, through the rural mail carriers serving every Illinois post office. The questionnaires receiving statewide distribution propounded sevehteen questions, relating to the hogs and sheep on farms, and the amount of wool shorn from the sheep and lambs of Illinois since January 1. Replies to these questions, to be compiled and published about the first of July, will form a valuable and interesting report of the sheep and swine production of the state. Continuing on the steady upward curve which has dominated the production graph, Illinois mines produced 868,000 tons in the week ending May 12, the bureau of mines, United States Department of Commerce, reported recently. This is 68,000 more tons than that of the previous week when 504.- 000 tons were brought to the top. It still Is, however, approximately a million tons below the average weekly production of the mines of Illinois. Coal mines of Illinois increased their output In a week unmarked by striking divergence from the average In other major producing states of the nation. During the same period, Indiana and Kentucky mines showed slight recessions; a small gain was recorded for Pennsylvania; and production In West Virginia was somewhat accelerated.

Mulvlhill, supervisor of Illinois waterway construction. Extension of the federal barge route, now operated on the Mississippi and Warrior rivers, is expected soon since congress approved the Deneen-Denlson bill authorizing expansion to all of the principal Mississippi tributaries with the exception of the Ohio river. "Farmers who use hog production records to arrange their breeding and feeding plans avoid being long on hogs when prices touch the bottom and short when higher prices prevail," according to A. J. Surra tt, agricultural statistician. In a statement stressing this value of the swine and sheep surreynow under way as a service of the Illinois and federal departments of agriculture, with the co-operation of the Post-Office department, Mr. Surratt points out that Illinois is one of the leading hog producing states, with market receipts in 1927 of approximately fire million head.

The train was made up of 196 box cars and was more than one and one-half miles in length. The train was transported to test a new Mikado locomotive and was run from South Pekin to Newson, a distance of ninety-five miles, which carried it over Radener hill, one of the steep grades of southern Illinois.

The location for bridging the river la about a mile above Grafton where there is a width of 700 feet, but report has it that the War department has demanded a structure 2,000 feet in length, which means a high trestle inland.

Joseph Buch had a fine two-year* old colt badly cut up by a barb wire fence last week. The breast was almost torn out, while the sides and legs were torn and lacerated in a fearful manner. These are undoubtedly a good and cheap fence, but a man who will use one around a field where young horses are kept should be prosecuted for cruelty to animals.
