Mr. VIM. r. MOORE is successful
business man and a close observer.
His opinions upon any subject which
he has carefully studied are entitled to
respect and command attention in the
business community. In communi-
cation to the LEDGER he says: "TRe
prospects for the coming faH business
are better than for the past ten gears"
This is the deliberate Judgment of
one Of the clearest-headed business
men of Memphis, and is highly en-
couraging. All indications point to
an early and flush fall business. In
anticipation Of this and to meet pres
ent demands many of our merchants
are carrying large stocks of goods and
continue to advertise literally. The
dull season has not yet been reached.
1t will be short and easily bridged
over. Never were such crops seen
growing in the rich country tributary
to the trade of Memphis. The outlook
has not been so bright for years. Mem
phis is pulling altogether and coming
to the front splendidly.

true soldier in war and in peace.
While strictly orthodox he is courte
GUS to those who differ with him, and
recognizes the universal brotherhood
of our race. His heroic Christian
conduct in remaining here to look
after the sick and dying during the
yellow fever epidemic last year, when
nearly all the members of his church
were gone, will never be forgotten.
1t is matter of imperishable history.
To the practical work of sanitation he
has given much study and his valuable
assistance. He is in the midst of a
career Of great usefulness, Memphis
cannot afford to lose such man, and
we hope that he will be induced to
remain with the people for whom he
has labored so zealously and CALAMITY,
and who hold him in such high esteem.

gather up their traps preparatory to the long

not take with them they disposed of at any
prices they could get. Cows were sold at 81
apiece, chickens at 1 cent apiece, and other
things in like proportion and at similar sac

A Hog Question.

RAPID growth, early maturity, ability to con
vert large quantity of food into good, sal
able product ability to fatten readily and to
continue the process--theSe are all desirable
qualities IN swine, and they all have been Sc
cured in each Of several breeds to a remark
able degree. Have we gone too tar IN our eff
forts to secure these points? This is ques-
ton well worth the asking, and it may be that
an affirmative answer will have to be given.
1t is well known that we cannot secure per
fiction, nor even very high excellence in sew.
eral directions at the same time, and that al
most certainly some weak points will accom-
pany the unusual development of good quail
ties, hence, 1t is reasonable to suppose that,
with such marked development in several de-
sired qualities as our best breeds of swine eX-
hiblt. there will he at least obvious tendencies
to some undesirable traits. If we add to this
general proposition the fact that the present
development has been secured in many cases
by close lnbreedng and by reducing to a
minimum opportunities, at least incentives,
for exercise, and that oftentimes the breeding
stock have not been kept IN the best conditions
for robust health in any respect, we shall think
it strange If the result has not been deterlOra-
ton of constitutional vlgor, If not the implant-
ing of weli-marked tendencies to serious dis
eases. Is it not the fact that very many Of the
most high ly-improved swine are not SO health
full or 50 able to resist disease or unfavorable
circumstances As is desirable:
But, aside from all this, have we not carried
the tendency to lay on TAT too far? Il is ad-
mitted that many a show COW, or sheep, or
hog, is too fat to be most profitable, either for
the butcher or consumer. There Is limit to
the profitable production of fat Is it not true
that the disposition to lay on fat is in excess Of
what is really desirable in the case of several
somewhat highly priced breeds: The proper
ton of lean meat has been reduced to a mini.
mum, except in the hams and shoulders, and
greatly decreased in these. For "hOme use"
do any of us prefer such pigs? If any have
doubts on this point, let them examine the car
cass Of well-fatted hog, or look at sides of
Bacon or even at a ham or shoulder. If Op.
portunity offer, let comparison be made Of
the carcasses of model, well.bred pigs, always
kept in high condition, and those of common
grade pigs which have had more length of
body, perhaps a little more length of leg, and
which have fed during part of their lives on
good grass or clover as almost their sole food,
and which have never been without far
amount of daily exercise. 1t Is quite possible
the decision may be this, that while the one
set would give the greatest profit when on the
market the other would be much more desr-
able for family eating.-Lice St0ck JoUJW@

The experiment which a company is max
ing IN the production of beet sugar is one of
general importance Last year, as our readers
are well aware, the experiment was tired on a
scale and proved satisfactory. The farmers
along the lines of the railroads found that the
beets at the prices paid would pay moderately,
and the company at Portland found 10 diff
Guilty in making good sugar from them. This
year the company has entered upon the enter
prise with vigor. Early in the season suffi-
cient number of acres of the root were arrang-
ed for to run the works at Portland to their
full capacity. Seed has been planted IN three
states, Maine, New Hampshire and Ma>sachu.
sets. 1t il stated that the return of the busl.
ness was so promising that better price for
the raw material is paid this year than last.
Those who have given most attention to the
matter in Maine are confident of success, and
confidently predict that the production of beet
sugar is an industry which will give agricul.
ture in New England a new impetus and open
a new field for profitable iRvestment-Port.
