BERTHE Peardon. the ten.year .old
daughter of John Peardon aud wife, of
Smartsville, was taken i'll recently and

the interest Of the people in general
aud tho farmers i'll particular. AT
New Orleans last week there was q
cotton acreage convention which met
and discussed the situation at large
and adjourned after mapping out
line of policy in keeping with other
States.

views of Senator George respecting
the causes for depression ia the cotton
industry; deprecated the present
methods of raising an exclusive cotton
crop; resolved that in future cereal
and other products must be raised in
conjunction with cotton, il the pros
perity of The South is consulted, aud
appointed committee to prepare IN
address to all parties interested, re-
T commencing such a line Of policy as
will be for The good of all concerned.

Revenue officers from North Caro-
lima have just reported the seizure Of
the oldest Illicit distiilery ever cap
tured in that State. 1t was in Moore
county. and was operated by Law
renee Coins. The officers had received
information Of Coins still and had
made several searches for it to no pur-
pose. Finally they found that it was
located in the middle Of Tuckahoe
Pond, in small trees which stand
thickly. The only means of access
was by boat. Coins had cut off the
tops of small trees and on these built
q shanty in which was the moonshina
outfit. Deputy Collector Hall and
posse made the capture, having dis
covered boat. Tho still Of sixty-five
gallons capacity was in full blast.
Coins was completely surprised. He
admitted that he had conducted the
business some time, and said he
thought his lobation entirely safe.

Advice on Feeding

He Gives the Farmers q Word OF Practical
Advice on Feeding.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-Secretary Rusk,
of the Department of Agriculture, says
that farmers In all parts of the country are
inquiring as to the probable profit of feed
ing corn to hogs at present prices. He de-
sires to state that the prospect of large
returns from judIcious hog-feeding has
seldom been ss bright as now. In average
years it takes about nine pounds of hogs.
live weight. to bring the price of bushel
of corn. This year five pounds of hogs
bring as much as o bushel of corn. Ii ten
pounds of pork are made from bushel OF
corn, which may be taken as .
far return, then the present prices
Of hogs would make corn bring
about SIS cents q bushel if fed to these ami
mails, which is about twice as much as IL Is
now quoted at on the Chicago market.
Instead of sending pigs and habitat hogs
TO market SIS thousands have done. only TO
lind that such animals were unit for pack
ing. and would bring but comparatively
poor price, these animals should be kept on
the farm and fattened on the corn which Is
now so cheap In comparison with present
prices of pork. The high price OF hogs Is
largely due to the meat inspection carried
on by the Department. OF Agriculture.
which opened the markets OF Eu-
rope and enabled shippers TO send the
surplus hog products out of the country.
Following this came q shortage in the hog
crop. The number of hogs packed this
winter is not only less than ii has been
previously, but the hogs were lighter In
weight so that there has been much
smaller quantity of hog product prepared.
When the advance IN price came the farm
ers sold their breeding stock, which cannot
De replaced for at least two years. lie
therefore thinks that it Is perfectly safe TO
feed hogs under present conditions until
they are fully matured, as the shortage of
hog products and the unrestricted foreign
markets for inspected meats offer the best
possible guarantee for good prices.

HEAVY INCREASED EXPORTS.
Germany's Deficit in Breadstuffs Supplied
from tho United States.

Germany's Deficit I'm Breadstufs Supplied
from the United States.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 26.-The United
States is the chief source of supply from
which Germany draws the deficit in her
domestic breadstutfs. Such is the infor-
nation contained in q report to the State
Department by Frank II. Mason. consul at
Frankfort. of the statistics of grain i'm
portation into Germany for the year 1892.
They show an enormously increased vol
ume of both wheat and rye imported from
the United States. From the fourth place
in 1890 the United States rose to first place
chased from the United States rising
from 1.9O2, 772 bushels in 1890 to 23,Os5. 795
bushels last year. The importations
from the United States in 1892 were nearly
half of the whole amount i'm ported. At. 509,
719 bushels. The importatlons of rye from
the United States increased from 765 S33
bushels, in 1890. TO 1889. 326 bushels in 1o92.
Russia's contribution of that cereal to Ger
many. owing TO failure of crops, decreased
from 27. COO 900 bushels. IN 1890 to 500 900 IN
1904 Mr. Mason says the exhibit IS inter-
esting from the definite limit which 1t fixes
to the capacity OF British India and Aus
tralls as sources of supply.
Although Germany has regular steamship
connection under her own flag. and grow
ing export of manufactured goods with
both India and Australia. they play a oom-
parstively Insignificant role in furnishing
the foreign wheat til at Is required by this
cOuntrV.
