When the price Of pork.is as low as
at present, many farmers get the idea
shat raising hogs does not pay. Let US
look at the question and ascertain, if
we can, whether any thing on the farm
pays better. One acre Of clover and
one acre of corn $50 bushels) will pro-
duce 800 pounds Of pork. This. al So
per hundred, which is low enough, is
1924. Suppose you say the pigs and the
care Of then, for eight months, when
they ought to be ready for market, are
worth So, leaving SIG for the use of
two acres of ground. But you say there
is danger Of CHOLERA and other diseases
with hogs. That is true. But the
mortality among hogs for the past
twenty years does not exceed ten per
cent. Butsay it is double that, or
twenty per cent. This on the 1924 would
be IS. 8O-leaving $18 20. Deduct from
this the So for pigs and their care.

named 1891 as the year in which to
make the change. If the railway COM

there ls no duty upon it; proving that
tnelr market is higher than ours, for
the American business men are not
FOOLISH enough to sell on low market,
when a higher one is to be had; conse-
quently, the talk about the tariff on
lumber being tax is all bosh and Just
Tor effect. Lumber, to be sure, is high
IN the west, and will be. as long as
freight rates are as high as at present.
lake the duty off, and not a cent
cheaper from that cause will you get
your lumber. Now, as to the so cents
tax per barrel upon salt we use, had
the governor consulted the facts, he
would have known he could buy all the
salt he wants at Hutchinson for So
cents per barrel without the barrel, J
and at Saginaw for 40 to so cents per
barrel. How can the farmer be paying
0O cents per barrel in tax when the salt
can be bought for from 40 to So cents?
Moreover, had he looked the matter up,
he would have found that of the ST.
lo6,962 worth imported in 1sSS-the
greater portion of which came from
England, British West Indies and
Italy-cost US in the countries from
whence it was received 56 cents per
barrel, consequently, it had to find a
market in the retail trade of the east
ern cities, and did not come in COM
petition with Michigan and Kansas
salt. If duty was all taken off not a
penny barrel less would we get our
salt. Let the intelligent farmers of
Kansas, who are largely in favor of our
protective system, stand by their prin-
cipIes, for they are right and founded
upon justice, and were acknowledged
as such by the trainers of the govern
ment. JOHN F. COULTER.

Coulter to Click.
I Kansas Farmer.l

EDITOR KANSAS FARMER your
issue of February i9, 1 noticed a part
of an address made by Ex-Governor
Click to the Kansas Short-horn Breed
ers' association, on Desirable Legisla-
tion," wherein he says: "The farmer
pays tax of $50 on every 500 worth
of lumber. We could almost pay of
the mortgaged Indebtedness of the
state from the duty on lumber alone. u
He also stated in the same speech that
the farmers are taxed go cents on every
barrel of salt they use. Now, Mr.. Edi-
tor, why should Gov. Click attempt to
deceive the intelligent farmers of Kan
sas by any such talk? He certainly is
too intelligent not to know better.
Had he taken the pains 10 have looked
the matter up, he would have known
that the Chicago prices current for the
three years from 1868 to 1865, with
Canada lumber free, the average yearly
prices were not any lower than in the
three years from 1867 to 1863, when
the duty was 20 per cent. And, more
over, he would have known that we ex-
port good deal more lumber than is
thrown on our market by foreign coun-
tries, consequently, we do not need to
import lumber any more than We do
wheat, for we have the article for sale
in excess of the demand. He also
would have known, had he examined
the matter, that of the over $S,0OO,000
worth imported IN 1888, not a single
board of it came to Kansas City,
Duluth or st. Louis, and but S52, 152
worth into the port of Chicago. These
are the places from whence the west
get their supply; and from the fact
that so little found its way into them,
shows cOnclusively they are the cheap
est markets in the United States. Had
the governor examined the matter care.
fully, lie would have also discovered,
that of the millions of dollars worth
in 1888 that a large portion of
it went direct to the countries where

THE MORMON CASE.
Decision of the Supreme Court On
the Edmumds Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The Saprems
Court Of the United States has rendered
an opinion of vital interest to the Nor
mon Church in the suit of the Church Of
Latter Day Saints against the United
States, which came here on appeal from
the decision of the Supreme Court Of
Utah In favor of the United States. The
court affirmed that Judgment
The case grew out of the passage Of
the Edmunds Anti-Polygamy law by the
Forty-ninth Congress. This law among
other things dissolved the Mormon
Church corporation, and killed
!ts charter, directed the appoint
Dent Of a receiver to wind
up it's affairs and escheated to the United
States all the real estate owned by the
Church In excess of $50, which was
not on the date of the passage of the act
held for purposes of worship or burial.
When the United States, under the
terms of this act began proceedings to
confscate about $3.50, 900 worth of prop
erty belong ng to the Church, the Nor
mons Immediately entered suit to have
the Edmunds law declared unconstitu-
tional.
It was argued before the Supreme
Court in behalf Of the Mormons that
Congress by the dissolution Of the
Church corporation had assumed judicial
powers and that the act of the legisla-
tive assembly of Utah incorporating the
Church constituted a contract which
could not be impaired by Congress un-
der its authority to repeal Territorial
enactmentS. 1t was also held that the
doctrine of escheat was alien to the
spirit of free institutions and that 1t
had never been applied in this country
to church or charita lie corporation
On the part of the United States it was
pleaded that Congress had authority 70
repeal all Territorial enactments; that
the act incorporating the Church was
invalid, as an attempt to establish re-
ligiOn contrary to the provisions of the
Constitution; and that moreover, the
charter should be annuled for abuse of
the granted rights. When the Church

as to the right of way is in favor of the

An Imprisoned Fish.

The following was related to the
Chattanooga News by one of its cor
respondents residing near that city:
"My cousin owns a watermill, andin
removing some Constructions found an
immense log embedded in the stream
which must have been submerged for
a number of years. The log had to
be cut in two to remove it, and much
to our surprise we found it hol-
low. although it had every appear
ance ofbeing gsolid. One ofthe negroes
while examining the log looked into
the hollow and thought he saw some
thing moving. He began using his ak,
and soon had the log cut into in an
other place.
Imagine our amaZement when We
discovered live catfish which had
grown to an enormous size and length,
and was so completely wedged in the
hollow as to be unable to move except
to open its mouth and wiggle it's tail.
The fish was very lively and appar-
emily in the enjoyment of excellent
health.
"Thequestion is how did the fish get
into the log, as the only means of in
gress or egress we could discover was
a small round hole not more than two
inches in diameter. Wesurmised that
he must have entered the little open
ing when no larger than a minnow,
and grown great in his solitary con-
| finement.
