WHEN IS A PIG A SHOAT
SPRING CREEK. july %.

SPRING CREEK. July %, 1873.
EDITOR EAGLE: have frequently
noticed accounts of farmers being in
court where testimony was required
in regard to the size of hogs, and
whenever the word shoat was used
they were in every instance unable TO
! tell what constituted shoat.
! thought sometime since of writing YOU
an essay on the shoal, but neglected
! the matter. | am again reminded of
il by readin" an eastern paper. The
/ time when Il pig ceases to be a pig and
takes his second degree is a very i'm
portant step in life to him. lie then
becomes shoat. Neither age or size
constitute shoatship, but condition.
The time when a pig becomes shoat
can be so nearly ascertained that even
a lawyer would see that farmer can
testify before jury and tell whether
pig is pig or whether he is a shoat.
When "A pig is born he is then a pig.
While lie is pig his mother dishes up
his hash for him. and the length of time
he will remain a pig depends on the
supply of hash. During the time he
receives nourishment from the mother
hog he grows long legged and round of
body. In fact he increases in size I'M
Ill he becomes a big pig. He will now
begin to crack corn and root up po-
tatoes and become shoaiy. 1t is eat
ing substantial food which causes him
to grow up. and grow down. and grow
all around. like a hog. Just so soon
as he desires more nourishment from
this substantial food tnan he does from
the mother hog he becomes Il shoat. |
because he has assumed the shape of a I
hog. aud the farmer will say those |
shoats might a. we'll be weaned. \ |
pig can be made a shoat sooner by eat
ting of his rations of milk and making |
him eat solid food. This point re-
quires fine Judgment. II the milk is
entirely taken from him before he is
able 10 digest solid food he will become
a runt and refuse TO grow for long
time. When the pig becomes shoat
he remains shoat until ready for the
market. When he weighs l50 pounds
he is a good pork hog. yet u Pitisburg
buyer wanting heavy lard hogs would
all him shoat When 4 pig becomes
/ shoat he changes his habits aud has
more self reliance. He now learns
hat he must catch his own corr. and
cells that. so far a concerns himself. ,

trong desire TO crawl through fences. ,

OUTRAGEOUS.

II has become tashionable-itm may be
profitabfe-for city papers to send out
class of dead beats who scour the
country in quest of subscriptions, and
whose pay comes in the way of cold
victuals at third class hotels, free rail-
road rides and per cent. of all moneys
bored out of their victims. Dozens of
these irresponsible Migrants visit
Wichita monthly, ostcnsabls TO write
up the town and valley, but really to
beg our business men for a dollar or
two, or for their job work. Their
highest ambition is to write up some
thing sensational. the more highly
wrought and fuller of lies the better.
AS specimen of the moral turpitude
and total degeneracy of one of these ill
starred wretches, we quote one ofthem
who writes TO the st. Louis Democrat.
The extract has been going the rounds
so long that we feel it duty TO put in
a protest:
"Wichita resembles brcvet hell
after shutdown. Brass bands whoop-
ing il up. harlots and hack drivers yell
ing and eursing; dogs yelping, pistols
going Off: bull. whachers cracking their
whips: saloons open wide their doors,
and gaylv attircd females thump and
! drum up pianos, and in dulcct tones
and hooking smiles invite the boys in,
and night is commenced i'll earnest
No man. not even Bohemian drum
mer, with any respect for the truth
who had ever been in Wichita, could
ever pen such infamous mouthings.
AS the effort of some gibberipg idiot,
with brain afirc and eyes askance, sit
ting with dcmoniacal grin and chewing
dangling straw that fell from his I'M
kempt hair, such a mixture Of whoops.
harlots. yells, dogs, curses and pistols
might be overlooked. but coming from
the columns of respectable paper
with an extensive circulation, il is an
outrage too great to be calmly borne.
We are aware that outside of the cor
l'O!dtt iiiiIiiH liitlt arc pidt's W Iitu
are said TO be anything but vrtuous
or moral in their tendencies. 1t
would seem that these treacherous
travelling correspondents make such
places their headquarters when they
visit Wichita. We earnestly advise all
of our better class of business men to
Systematically cut these pretended cor
respondents and delamers Of our good
town. They are proving an incubus
too intolerablc to be patiently borne.
There has never been but one man
killed in Wichita, and he was shot by
L. ). soldiers; there are less rows, less
sprecs and drunkenness, and less open
shame and open violation Of law in
Wichita than ia any western town we
know Of The truth is we are full of
business and full of life, TIE consc
quence of which is we are overrun
with all kinds Of bummers. dead beats 1
and correspondents, who, failing TO
gull anyone, go away cursing the town
and heaping up such abuse as happens
be stored in their minds.

DARING ROBBERY.

of disguised robbers. affords one of the
most daring eases of the kind on re-

The Back Pay Steal.

The democratic papers assail the re-
publican party on account of the back
salary business, but take good care
never to mention the fact that q major
ity of republicans voted against it
while majority of democrats voted
for it. When the record is forced up
on them. they are mum, or pretend 10
disown the democrats who voted for
the act. But the republican party has
done more than this. Ii has taken
every opportunity TO repudiate those
who voted for the bill. and every re-
publican convention which has since
assembled has denounced it in unspar-
ing terms. No democratic convention
has, and none of the democrats voting
for il have been officially condemned
by their party Champion.
