For the GREAT WEST:
"Cheap Pork"
BY THE HIRED MAN.


To be successful in raising and
disposing of hogs one must consider
every step from the hogs standpoint,
especially the marketing.
The same plan won't produce the
same results, one year with another;
and many common sense and economic
variations must be made to bring the
ca sh book to balance with the cost.
Always try to have a fair sized, easy
keeping lot of hogs, and put them in
an acre or more pasture, seeded to the
best grasses or green food the quality
of land will produce.
The best profits are obtained with
ground feed, of whatever kind is
cheapest and obtainable. Inever saw
pigs do better than on good pastur-
age, fed with rye, meal and wheat
middlings mixed into thick porridge
Rye is sure to winter, early to get at
for feed and well adapted to growing
pigs in warm weather. Sweet corn,
planted beside the hog pasture and
cut up and fed when large enough for
roastingears, makes good growing food
till the field corn dents; but don't feed
it later for it has not got the fat
production equal to cool weather
demands.
Every farmer should SOW field of
clover every year, for stock of all
kinds; and the pigs, for stock and
store, will do nicely with plenty of
clover hay and a little grain through
the winter. 1t may be little out of
the old line of usage, but don't be
afraid to try it. Your hogs won't save
enough of the clover for bedding.
Peas, pumpkins, beet crops and
truck are all good, but not necessary
to the single handed farmer, for they
take too much time and labor, and
when work drives, losses result.
The pressure of the times compels
every man to do the best
he can without hired help, and limit
the ends to the means.
Be sure to keep good hogs and don't
inbred. Have the pigs come in April.
Earlier invites losses, later does not
give time to secure a salable growth
by cold weather, and it don't pay to
keep d herd of swine through winter
and sell for less than thegrain they eat
would bring. You must figure sharp
or better not figure at all, when you
try prophets against the grain pools
the "big four" the railroads, and as
the rest of the politician-ridden
country.
Consider what you are likely to
make out 81 the hog at this end of
the business and what you may be
likely to make out of the hog at
the other end Of the deal, and bal
ance accordingly; and if there
is no assurance of profits in
sight go to work and shape things right
before starting.
Good pasture in summer, clover
in winter, ground feed for all seasons,
and the finer ground the better,
coupled with warm and comfortable
winter shelters; and good care will
average more profit, one year with
another, than almost any other line
Of farming. All farm profits are very
mild nowadays; but, farmer, hang to
your business, with grit in your teeth
and finger nails; and when election
comes round roll up your sleeves, and
prepare the boxes and cement to
preserve the McKinleys, and Harris
sons, and Ingalls,, ct AL, and raise

The officers were sworn in promptly
by Chief Justice Cobb. The contest
will now go on as prescribed by law.
There is a prospect that the legisla-
ture will unseat everyone of the new
officers.
At o'clock tonight Governor Boyd
called on Governor Thayer and was
informed that the latter would not
give up the the Office on the ground he
was not citizen of United States and
was therefore not eligible. This
changes the situation until nobody
dares say what the outcome will be-
Governor Thayer has FABRICATED the
executive office and remains inside

him to ascertain his purposes, but it is
understood that he will remain gov
ernor if possible until all questions af-
fectlng his successor are settled

the Independent or Alliance candidate
for Governor took the oath of office to-
day. The legislature which is Indepen-
dent will recognize him. Governor
Thayer has published a letter giving
as his reasons for not surrendering
the office to Boyd that the latter is
ineligible, not being a citizen of the
United States and owes his allegiance
to a foreign power. 1t is On the other
hand claimed that if Boyd isineligible,
the lieutenant governor becomes gov
ernor and that Thayer should get out.
Thayer holds possession of his office.
and Boyd has opened up another

of the building. Steam was turned off
Thayer's room tonight and he spent
a rather cool night. Boyd ordered
the adjutant general to dispense the
militia stationed at the state house;
the adjutant said he would obey
Thayer's orders only, whereupon
Boyd appointed Victor Vifquain, as
adjutant. There were several other
conflicts of authority.
