"- V 1; s J ' 1. CHiiiq,OTTE KEWS, AUGUST 19, 1901. 5o'Jt'"-111 " " llog3 have always been a profitable jssue upon every farm. They live so cheaply and mature so quickly -that there is always a good margin of 'pro fit Soon after the war of the sixties the stealing of hogs became, such a constnat source of loss to 'farmers that very many gave .up raising hogs en tirely. Having once fallen into the habit of buying meat, a large part of th," farming papulation have continued to .lo so. ' This has been particularly o with the tenant class. " Tni was very unfortunate. Many millions of dollars have been paid foe Astern meat that should 'have been kept at home. At present prices of meat, hogs will pay. Every farmer snouia at least his own home supply. He can : f -.na-Ticilf Via tyq Trc? far it The improved breeds of hogs will make good porkers in irom nine to eleven months. The cost growing them will depend upon the management. If a little care is taken to provide good pastures of jjenmula and then arrangements made to supplement these with suitable for age crops, the cost of growing hogs will be very little. Patches of ground peas, cow-peas, sorgum, . sweet pota toes, etc., may be so arranged that they will have a constant supply of cheap food all through the season. The old idea of feeding hogs entirely upon corn has given way to new and better methods. Growing a succession of such crops as those mentioned above and many others not mentioned, makes it easy to have fine hogs for killing that have cost very little. BETTER BREEDS. The new and improved breeds help to do this. The hog is no longer de pendent upon "rooting" for a living. The old adage, "Root hog or die," is no longer applicable. It is now "Eat hog and grow." The best hogs have very little disposition to root. They prefer to eat and lie down and digest. The roaming razor-back roadster has had his day and passed away. The compact, quick growing, easy fatten ing, lazy hog has taken his place. The c-hieT point is to keep them healthy by giving them plenty of wa ter, and clean beds and; a constant change of food. The much dreaded cholera is easily avoided by feeding upon veggtables, such as turnips, cab bages, potatoes, and fruits that fall from the trees. Not only is it well for every, farm er to raise hogs enough to make the meat for his own farm, but hogs are a profitable crop to grow for sale There is money raising hogs as a busi ness. Not only can money be made selling pure breeds at fancy prices, but by selling meat. TRE OLD TIME HOG KILLING. From all we can learn the North west will be very short on corn. That means short on hogs. t That means money to the man who' has hogs for sale. We remember the old time hog killing, and it thrills us with pleasing motions to this day. Our farm was a small affair, yet we had about forty" fine fat hogs to kill every fall. Up be fore daylight the great log fire, heat the rocks and with them the water. Take the keen knife, whirl the hog upon his back and find his heart. Then the pulling off the hair, and frying the melts on the hot rocks, and blowing the bladders for Christmas. It was a jolly good time, feasting on spare-ribs, and crackling bread and brains. We can not help feeling a sort of pity for the boy who never took part in old time hog killing. If it paid to raise hogs in those days "when meat was cheap it will pay bet tor now when it is high. A small family can raise a few hogs from the household and kitchen slops. These will often make a. year's supply of meat and cost nothing but a little forethought. We urge our readers to try hogs at least a home supply. Alton's Jubilee. Alton, 111., July 19 The Alton jubi lee and street carnival, for which the f itizens have been preparing for nearly a year, opened today in a blaze of gh r.v. The city is thronged with visitors and the carnival promises to be one of the most brilliant affairs of the kind ever seen in this part of the state. Mac-Arthur has returned from the Philippines and is expected to tell why it is necessary to keep an army of 50, 000 men in our pacified possessions. Dit. Averages. No: of stations reporting Cen.

Philadelphia business men had their eyes opened to the fact that the -South nas become a formidable industrial ri val to the North during the convention or the bouthern Industrial Association in this city last June. They were then thoroughly convinced that the South has ceased to fight lost battles, and is now engaged in winning the victories or peace and hard work. Figures furnished by late official sta tistics of the United States Government snow tne industrial growth of the South during the past twenty years to nave been phenomenal. Since 1880 the cotton product has increased from 5,- bl,2o2 bales to 10,300.000 bales. The capital invested in cotton mills has in creased from $21,976,000 to $150,000,000: the cotton manufactured, from 188,744 bales to 1,597.000 bales. The cottonseed oil industry was in its infancy twenty yaars ago, only $3,500,000 being invest ed in the business. Now the cottonseed oil capitalization is $50,000,000. The yearly output of Southern pig iron in 1880 was 397,300 tons. Last year it was 2,604,671 tons. The Southern coal mined in that year was 6,049,471. In 1900 the coal output had . incresaed eightfold, amounting to 48,192,053 tons. The rail way mileage increased during the twenty years from 20,612 to 53,000. The phosphate product increased from 190,000 to 1,550,000 tons; the pertrole um product from 179,000 to 15,000 barrels The total capital invested in manufacturers increased from $251,- v,, LU Ti,v,vW!vW, au. tne mauu- factured output from $445,576,462 to 1 aaa nJ mi.. i . 692,638 to $1,000,000,000, and the manu r'::'""' , a " prouuet increasea irom i)(i,vw,wu 10 $1,200,000,000, and the exports from $291,031,448 to $530,317,000. A similar showing might be made of XT XT- I J1 1 t J 1- 1 I 1 me growm 01 me lumoer, iruu, irucit iarming ana otner inaustries; out it is i it i . . . , . 1 not withr while to extend the list. All this advance has been made without !a" addition of a single acre to South ern territory. The South has simply been making two blades of grass to grow where one grew before. It has been developing, its stored and hidden wealth of coal, iron ore and phosphate. It has been building factories to man ufacture atsvown products, and rail ways to carry them to market. Each forward step in this march of industri al development has revealed new. and heretofore undiscovered sources of wealth; The South is justly entitled to boast of, its marvelous industrial growth during the past twenty year, and the figures which reveal its growl ing prosperity should convince our own business men. that Southern trade is more and more worth seeking by every means that may promote honor able trade. Philedalphia ' Record. Casualties on Railways. Recently the inter-State commerce commission has prepared an abstract of statistics showing the total num ber of casualties on railroads for the! fiscal year ending June 30, 1901. During the period in question there were 7,865 persons killed and 50,320 in jured. Many of the victims were rail way employees, the number killed ow ing 2,550 and the number injured 39,- 643. Itemized somewhet more in de tail the casualties among the employ ees were as follows: Trainmen, 1, 396 killed and 17,571 wounded; switch men, flagmen and watchmen, 272 killed and 3,060 injured; other employees, 82 killed and 19,012 injured. Classified with respect to the immediate cause of accident, 260 were killed and 6,765 in- iured in coupling and- uncoupling trains, and 529 were killed and 3,435 in jured in falling from trains and en gines. With respect to passengers, 249 were killed and 4,128 injured, while of tres passers there were 5,066" killed and 6,- 549 injured. T.nokine at the above figures it seems that the casualties for the fiscal year in question have been exceedmg lv heavy, but when referred to the bulk t travel and the vast amount of busi ness carried on the casualties are com paratively light.
