II ia m evident fact that the hoJ
Is the most profitable animal that
farmer can raise, and receives lea
attention. The reason hogs are OF
scarce in the south is, because th.
majority of farmers don't care wha
becomes of the hogs as long as lhey
have strip of northern meat as
wide as their hand in the meat box
1.-THE farmers OF the "Sunny South
ever expect to better their present
condition they must stop raising
cotton at 7 cents per pound to buy
meat with al III cents. / am per-
sonally acquainted with men who
are doing that very thing now.
1t 10 fact not generally known
that there arc more hogs lost In the
extreme southern states than in any
other part of the Union. Cholera
is The principal cause, yet a great
deal is due TO carelessness and neg
lect.
According to statistical report,
1913, 434 hogs died of cholera in Mis-
sissippi in 1882, or 8 per cent of the
@hole number of hogs In the state I;
Alabama 178,147, which was IL per
cent of the whole number Georgia
175, 1903, or 10 per cent and SO on
through all the southern states.
while in more northern states il de-
creased as low as l per cent.
Those farmers that only raise FIVE
to ten bushels of corn per acre
ought to be bumped !" and there
are thousands of them in the south.

INTENSIVE FARMING.
The suggestion of smaller farms
and more intensive farming il find
ing many advocates. The majority
of farmers work hard, perhaps too
hard, but their energy Is too diff
fused to bring about the best re-
suits. If the farm we're smaller the
soil would be better cultivated, the
seed more thickly sown and O larger
corn crop would be harvested The
orchard would be better planted,
better pruned and better sprayed,
30 that the quality of the fruit would |
more than make up for the lack of
quantity; the cows having proper
care would yield more milk in pro-
portion the chickens regularly at
Tended to would lay more eggs, and |
so on through every department of
The farm. Ii is always those who
have but little who excel, and the
reason for it is not hard TO find.
Concentrated energy pays in every
department. Of life; and magnificent
while they please the inn
sgination, exhaust the strength oi
hose who traverse them.

Saloon Keepers Defeat,

Supreme Court Justice Reed filed an
opinion Oh Wednesday sustaining the
conviction of Philip Flaucher, who was
charged with selling liquor under a
license granted by the unconstitutional
Democratic Excise Board. The Court
decided that inasmuch, as the County
Excise law is unconstitutional, there
could be no County Commissioners,
either de facto or de jure, and that the
decision of the Supreme Court must be
regarded as law until reversed.
This settles the question for the ell.
tire State. 1t was agreed that the Cam
den suit should be the test of the ques-
tion in the State. Flaucher's case was
ore of forty-seven saloon-keepers who
persisted in selling under County Ex-
else licenses after the County Excise
act had been declared unconstitutional.
All will have to close.
Flaucher was fined $50 and costs.
The first appeal was on habeas corpus.
This was declared the improper method
by Judge Reed, and a certiorari was
substituted. This was heard at once
by a part of the Court, and Wednes-
days decision is the result.
The saloon keepers in Camden who
hold licenses from the unconstitutional
Democratic County Excise Board did
not close their places Wednesday when
the decision of the Court against them
became known. Under advice of their
counsel, ex.Judge Hugg, they declared
their intention TO continue to sell pend
ing an appeal to the Court of Errors
and Appeals. City Solicitor Morgan,
however, declares he will at once take
action against the saloon-keepers as an
appeal under a decision of the Court
does not act as a stay of proceedings.
If the police refuse to enforce the law
it is probable that the City Solicitor
will call upon Sheriff Barrett to do so.
The saloOn-keepers openly boast that
Justice Paul will again postpone their
cases from week to week as he has been
doing pending the present decision.
The above shows that it is necessary
to have officers, justices and judges in
power favorable to the law and not
allied with the lawbreakers in order for
any law to be enforced. The reason
prohibition don't prohibit in these cases
is the same as in all othert, the officials
don't want it to prohibit.

Justice Albeit has given a decision
that where back taxes and assessments
remain standing twenty years or up
wards it is a presumption of law that
they have been paid, and that the bur
den of proof that they have not been
paid devolves upon the municipality.

The report a few weeks ago that some
W. C. T. US and prohibitionists were
urging Congress to increase the whis'
key tax has little foundation. Prohi-
bitionists claim that the tax and license
fees are the greatest stumbling blocks
to prohibition.

The appointment of Wayne Mac
Veagh, to be Minister to Italy is very
commendable for its fitness. Mr.. Mac
Veagh was Attorney General under
Presidents Garfield and Arthur and
prosecuted the Star Route thieves. He
supported Gle veland's reelection on the
tariff reform issue.

James Black, of Lancaster, Pa, one
of the first organizers of the Prohibi.

aged 10 years. He was a very able
writer of prohibition articles.

1t is said the race track men will try
to modify the present law to allow rae
ing for 80 days and give 5 per cent. of
the gate receipts to agricultural socie-
ties as is done in New York. The Peo-
pie do not want that compromise or
bride. The laws should be wiped out
entirely. Better have the present anti
winter racing law changed to apply for
the whole year.

Judge Howard Carrow in Camden
has directed that warrants Of removal
shall not be served by constables on
deserving people during severe winter
weather. The little doughty Judge has
a generous heart to stay the action Of
land owners to get possession of their

Three years ago the temperance peo-
pie of Little Egg Harbor township, of
which Tuckerton is the capitol, held an
election under the Werts Liquor Law
antvoted the license fee up to $1,000,
which was prohibitory. Judge Bennett
Van Syckel has ordered another cleo
tion on January Sth. on the application
of the liquor men to vote the license
lower so it will not be prohibitory.

Those who are dispensing bod to tie
destitute in Chicago are taking a wise
plan to make all, who are able, do some
work in exchange for what they receive.
That policy has notably decreased the
number of applicants for relief. There
are lots of vacant tenant houses
throughout the country and farmers
needing help in doors and out but many
would rather starve In the cities than
work in the country.

The bill to make Utah, New Mexico
and Arizona states has passed the
House of Representatives. They should
not be admitted to statehood because
Utah will be ruled by the Mormons. A
clause in the constitution prohibits
polygamy but it will be a dead law with
Its opponents not enforcing it. New
Mexico is thinly settled with half breed
Mexicans greasers and Indians and will
be ruled by Roman Catholics complete
ly. Arizona is a barren and thinly set
tied region similar to New Mexico.
Only Utah has as many inhabitants as
a Congressional district yet it is propos-
ed to give these barren regions as many
Senators as the large Eastern states.
The East should be solid against their
admittance as all their representatives
will favor free silver coinage.
