PORK VS.. COTTON.
More Money i'm Pork than
Cotton.
FARMERS OUGHT TO TRY IT AND SEE.
The Growing OF Special Crop Not
Permanently Remunerative, While
Diversity Pays.

There is more profit today in rails
ing pork than there is in cotton.
Let us suppose: for instance, that
any of our farmers should devote
twenty.fiv acres-a one horse crop
to raising nogs, and should set ten
acres in clover and grass, and the
remaining fifteen acres in corn and
sofa beans. We know from person
al experience that one acre Of land
set in clover-and that none of the
best-will maintain five hogs in full
growth, without any other feed, from
the 1st of April to the LIST of Sep~
TENDER. So that the ten acres of
clover will support fifty pigs for six
months of their life, and the fifteen
acres of corn and peas will fatten
them. We believe that the labor of
one man and one horse will grow
and fatten fifty hogs per year upon
this plan, that should average 200
pounds each, and worth at present
prices $500; sum of money equal
to twenty six bales of cotton at
present rrices, as against eight bales
of cotton as at present grown upon
twenty-five acres.
Here is a wide margin for any
over-estimation l may have made.
The brood sows to raise this number
OF pigs, as we also know from ex>
perience, may be wintered upon
turnips, beets and potatoes, and
kept in better condition than on
grain. In fact, their keep will cost
very little, cs they are good scaven>
gers and will eat much that other,
wise would 60 TO waste on the farm.
We hope our farmers will think
seriously about this stock question,
with a view TO making it part oil
their farming operations, and not
dismiss the whole thing from their
minds as Improbable, without Civ,
ing it their consideration which any
proposition that proposes to bring
about an Improvement in the pres
eat system, deserves.
You cannot point to a single
country or section, either in the
present or past history of the world
and this ls covering q good deal Of
space and time-where the farmers
have been permanently prosperous
when engaged in the growing of q
special crop. The enc crop idea
has, sooner or later, resulted in dis.
aster, either from over. production
followed by low prices, or from &
gradual impoverishment of the sol
which necessarily follows, when NJ
rotation Of crops or stock raising i
practiced.
In proof of this fact, We may cite
you to the present condition Of on
Southern cotton farmers, the tobac
co regions Of North Carolina an,
Virginia, and 20 the wheat grower
of the great Northwest, where, iron
over-production, the price of whea
has fallen lower this season tina,
ever before in the history OF thi
country.-Rowland Black, in York

The amount 1910 Ga spent upon builds
ings was not chargeable to the schools
proper, but was spent upon buildings and
fixtures. The cost of the schools was
$692l.53 or less than seven thousand doll
lars, but say seven thousand dollars. For
the preseLt year our resources are approx
mately as follows:
Amount to be received from State 1--WE
got,nothing last year)$3! 900. Amount to be
received from non resident students and,
tuition IN high school, $4,000. Total from
State and tuition, $4,000, which to run the
schools at the rate OF last year would re,
quire tie raising by taxation of the sum of
two thousand dollars, not taking into &C
count the expenditures'ior buildings. Now
tor rents and buildings and furniture laAt

council, $780, Rents and furniture and
buildings by school board, $67O.64 Total
for furniture and buildings, $ll70.44.
Now it is proposed to issue bonds and
have the city own its buildings and appli>
ances. To do this vote is necessary and
| arrangements must be made to pay off the
| debt incurred before the bonds can be
issued. Hence it is that sinking fund
must be collected and preserved for this
purpose. 1t is proposed to issue bonded
Indebtedness of $4,000, drawing six per
cent interest and to issue so much only as
may be Necessary fer the purpose. If
buildings can be secured for $40 000 there
is no one bat who will he in favor of doing

no assurance that they can secure quarters

is to be sold and will suit the purpose,
ought not the city to be in shape to secure

Bandits Who Got Nothing.

SAN ANTONIO. TEX. June 30-An Arkansas
Pass passenger train, consisting of three
day coaches and an express car, was the
scene of a bold attempt of daylight rob-
berry.
At Breckenridge the train was stopped to
take water and as she pulled out three men
boarded the blind baggage, but so guarded
that they we're not seen by the train crew.
The train had just entered a sharp curve a
few hundred yards from the tank. when
robber climbed upon the tender and with
pistol in each hand, threw his guns down
upon the engineer and fireman.
Throw up your hands," said the robber.
Engineer Tierney obeyed the order, but
Fireman Martin made movement as though
he was about to draw pistol and was shot
and killed.
The other two train robbers. when they
saw the dead body fall, jumped from their
position on the baggage car platform and
made for the brush.
There were but twelve passengers on the
train, and each was armed with six shooter.
When they heard the firing they rushed upon
the platforms, and as the two robbers rushed
| into the brush a vOlley was fired into them
| his partners
Conductor Steele rushed up to the engine
| jumped into the cab, and cutting loose from
| the train, started with Messenger Butler and
Engineer Tierney in pursuit of the train
robber. The engine gained every moment
| on the robber. who would turn and fire al
| his pursuers as he ran. Finding he could moi
reach the bridge over the river. where ms
Winchesters and three pals awaited him, the
robber left the track as the engine was al
most upon him. The engine was brought tc
a standstill and Conductor Steele started
after the robber single handed. He chased
him into the brush, firing as he went. The
| three robbers who we're at the bridge with
Winchesters commenced firing at the con
ductor. and their volleys were returned b!
| the engineer and messenger.
| Conductor Steele overhauled the robbe
and disarmed him of his pistols.
The robbers at the bridge then disappeared
| leaving their Winchesters behind.
Conductor Steele will receive the $l,U'
standing reward of the state for the capture

The Silver Dollar is as Good

The Good of the Situation is that All Spec

Will Find Legitimate Work

TOPEKA, June 30.-President j. r. Null
vane of the Bank of Topeka, does not take
a gloomy view of the situation at all. 1.-The
country was never in better actual condl-
ton than it is today. Otherwise we could
not have stood up under the strain as we
have. This whole matter is largely one of
sentiment
"Did you ever stop to think that the banks
of the country are not receiving gold depos-
its. They simply receive money, coin and
pay out what they receive, silver, gold, green
backs. bank notes, treasury notes, silver GER
tifcates.
why, nineteen-twentieths of the whole
circulating medium is silver, or that which
is represented by silver. Let me show you"
He then took the reporter to the desk of
| the receiving teller. and looked over the
kinds of bills received in the course of ousl-
ness. In the entire lot there was not gold
note and the teller said he rarely saw one.
The bills were of four kinds. "Silver certih.

it would be ridiculous for any one to hoard
