when the robbers realized what had
happened, they started in pursuit,
firing shots at the animal as it fled.
Rohen, who had been felled to the
ground with a club, crawled to the
side of the road and rubbed himself
until he was able to walk. Just then
the dog bounded from the woods,
still carrying the wallet between his
teeth. The farmer secured the wal.

away before the thieves returned. He

but are a passing epidemic, like the
grip and cholera, from which we are
destined to emerge with comparatively
little loss.
This being so, it will naturally be
asked: Why does not confidence re-
turn more speedily, and why, in spite
of all favorable indica tons which have
manifested themselves during the past
month, do the prices of stocks and
securities continue to fall and failures
continue to multiply? The question has
already been partly. answered by a
reference to the slowness with which
in course of nature all injuries are
repaired, but it may also be said, by
way of further explanation, that the
return of general confidence, indispen-
sible to a return of general business
prosperity, is also purposely hindered
by the acts of men who find their
profit in prolonging and intensifyins
the public alarm.
1T would be a waste of time to de-
n0unce the wickedness of the attacks
upon the credit of operations and of
individuals which have caused the de-
clines in stocks and bonds on the stock
exchange and the many failures of the
past week. As to the wild talk of the
Colorado silver miners and their al
lies in other states, the object of which
is to defeat legislation unfavOrable to
their interests, that also may be left
to public reprobation for its punish
ment. Nevertheless, it cannot be de
MED that these causes count for a
great deal in creating alarm in the
minds of a large number of people,
and until their hOllowness is exposed
SO that all the world pelceives it, they
will not, as we see, fail of producing
an injurious effect. 1t is a contempti-
bic way of making money, but for our

Get a board a little larger than the top

correct height. Now, cover it with the

A NEW BONANZA.
How to Double the Price Of Wheat by
Converting 1t into Hogs.

st. Paul. Aug 3.-TO the Editor
The low price of wheat and the ten
dency to still lower prices, seems to
present an OppOrtune time to call
the attention of the farmers Of the
wheat districts in northern Minnea-
sofa and the Dakotas, to the high
price of hogs.
At the present prices of hogs re-
cent experiments seems to demon
strate that by fattening hogs on
wheat. the farmer may realize more
than 81 per bushel for his wheat, now
worth at the farm 40 to 80 cents, and
which after freight has been paid to
Minneapolis or Duluth, is worth only
about 81 or 63 cents. At present
prices, the largest car load of wheat
1000 bushels) in st. Paul, is worth
only about $500, while a car load of
hogs of the same weight (6O,OOOlb)
would be worth $500.
The hog natures at the age of six
to nine months. Hence if it is true
that 80 cent wheat when turned into
pork becomes worth more than 81 a
bushel. the business of raising hogs
by the wheat farmer promises large
profits and quick returns.
Now let us see what evidence there
is upon the value Of wheat for fatte1.
ing hogs.
Upon this point the following state
ment has been made: A farmer in
one Of the best corn and wheat coun-
ties in Central Illinois was so reluctant
the past season to sell his wheat at
the prevailing prices that he thought
he would convert it into pork. He was
greatly pleased at the result. He had
$1,000 worth of hogs. and fattened
them almost on wheat, using little
corn. His method was to soak the
wheat in warm water twenty-four
hours before feeding. In cold weather
he let the water come to boil III the
kettle and then poured in the wheat
and put out the fire. When it cooled
it was soaked enough and ready to
feed. which he did Immediately. He
