Hog Feeding 4 Largo Scale.
DIR. Frank s. Billings, says the West
ern Swineherd, the eminent expert
investigator OF animal diseases, has
bought a tract of land near the Daven-
port Qa.) glucose factory, and will fit
it up for the accommodation of from
four thousand to ten thousand hogs to
be fed from the factory Stops. II is
stated that the doctor will move his
laboratory to Davenport and personally
superintend the manufacture Of virus
and inoculation of the hogs to be fed
The enterprise is a private speculation
on the part OF the doctor and the capi-
talists associated with him, but its re-
suits can not fail to interest swine
breeders everywhere. The merits OF
incubation will there be tested in .
manner and on scale that will conclu-
sively fix its value in warding OF
cholera. The doctor could have chusen
no better way of convincing the public
of the possibilities of his discovery, and
if be succeeds in preserving the health
of hogs and fattening them under tho
! conditions proposed he will have set
tied in his favor the acrimonious dis
pute he has with the Governments
Investigators of hog cholera. The
doctor is an opponent to be feared in
scientific controversy, for he handles
his adversaries without gloves; but be
is a man with the courage of his convic-
tions, and his known ability and fight
ing qualities have made the people his
fast friends. Fortunately his new VENT

benefit of our readers. all the interest,"
ing features of this experiment in feed

Head-P rters in the Largo city Hotels
Have ''Soft Snap"
"How are hotel porters paid?" said
the clerk OF well-known hostelry yes
terday. "Well, they get their board
and lodging to begin with, and wages
ranging from SIS to s25 month. The
head-porter gets little more. They
used to be permitted to keep all their
tips, or rather to turn them over to or
divide them with the head-porter, but
now a good many houses, even first-class
ones, make them turn them over to the
house. For my part, l think it looks
very small for hotels which make all
the way from 500, 900 to $3.50, 900 a year
to take the tips given by their patrons
to- portors to help swell their profits.
Haven't good many head-porters got
rich through their places? Well. should
say they have. The old head-porter of
the Grand Pacific in Chicago is worth
$3.50, 900 and many others are worth S1OO,.
600. You see, it is one of the odd things
of life, but many men have what is
almost a mania for befriending hotel
porters, head walters and barkeepers.
Old Jake Sharp took fancy to Loveioy,
OF the Fifth Avenue, and he made him
buy street railway stock when it was
way down in price. Its rise has made
him independently rich, though he
works every day as though he didn't
have a dollar. Bartenders are not only
the recipients of the secrets of many
men, but they often get points on the
money market that are worth big money
to them. Unfortunately for them, they
also get tips on the races, or most Of
them would be millionairos in a short
time. Some men have penchant for
making them presents, while others
will wait around for hours At night until
their favorites are Of watch and then
take them around town for a good time
and pay all their bills with pleasure. I
know one bartender who Is very good
company, who has had enough Of new
suits, gloves, neckties and things OF that
kind given him in the last six mon tbs to
set him up in toggery as a second Berry
Wall. The queerest duck of all, though,
is the well-tO.do man who wants to have
checks cashed by hotels. have known
cases where man who had thousands
on deposit would pass his bank and
walk to our Office to have little $25 or
$5C check cashod. What was his object?
Why, merely to show those sitting
around that he was man of such con-
sequence that big hotel would thus
favor HMM. Y. Sun.
