spondent at Ia Rioja, capital OF the
province OF the same name, telegraphs
that the city has been ruined by
Sunday nights earthquake. The
churches. schools and public edifces
were all thrown down. The people
are camping out In the neighborhood.
The scene was a horrible one, women
shrieking and fainting on every hand
as the walls came crashing down. Two
sisters of mercy were killed and many
more are now entombed beneath the
ruins
The governor fears that the killed
and wounded throughout the province
must number at least 1000, as many
OF the outlying towns also suffered.
Not house in town is without dam
age. IL is reported that in various
parts OF the province the ground
opened and geysers Of boiling water
and mud spouted forth.

which opened in the ground
South OF Buenos Ayres only a slight

Runyon and Freiherr Marshall

clared the order severe, unjust
and needless and evidently reprisal

the president OF course would annul.
Marschali admitted the force of the
three frstaepithets, but repudiated the
last one. lie said that Germany could
not barter the soundness of her
cattle for n prospective lowering
of sugar duties. The incubation
period OF Texas fever he said,
was six weeks. and cattle leaving
America in apparent health might
afterwards be attacked and spread the

claiming that the contagion is carried
only by insects that do not exist in

To Regulate Hog Prices.

correspondent at st. James,
Mo, asks Us to solve the problem of
declining polk values with short
corn crop aud 4 shorter hog crog.
Certain causes produce certain ef-
fects, but certain causes producing
apostle effects is too much for his
Imagination. He thinks the rene d,
IS to push the movement on foot |
among The farmers to pack their
own pork.
HE rafa ut which hog prices art
declining no doubt will cause farm
ers to reflect along this !iue Ac-
cordiug to estimates made by th'
department of agriculture and Other
good authorities there is Is pc,
cent shortage of hogs in the country
and corn is high, yet hogs are get
ting lower. Why is il?
Iu raising aud feeding hogs prep
aratory to marketing, every farmer
should have as precise an account of
the cost attending that process as is
possible. By so doing he is able at
any time to estimate the cost of a
hog. When prices take the down
ward tendency they sometimes reach
and pass the limit at which hogs can
be sold to land profit in the pocke
of the producer. The farmer who
keeps account of cost of feeding
knows when this limit is reached.
In this, as in any other line OF
business, it is suicidal to sell the
product for less than the cost of It's
production. So then, when prices
threaten TO reach or go below the
profitable limit, the farmer needs to
set his wits to work to devise, if
possible, some method by which he
may avoid the necessity of selling
below the figure which marks the
limit of profit. 1t is not safe, as
rule, to continue feeding after hogs
have reached the proper condition
for marketing, and wait for prices to
advance to satisfactory figure
This usually results III increased
losses. We must look elsewhere for
remedy.
May we not take hint right on
this point from tue plan farmers
nave adopted TO check the down
ward tendency in the price of wheat?
Wheat having reached point when
it could no longer be marketed at
price above the cost of production,
farmers with an eye to business, saw
that to feed it to their stock would
give better returns and st the same
time serve as a check to the depre
dations of the wheat market bears.
Aud it is going to solve the problem,
III fact, the effect is already begin
ning to show. In like manner, when
the packers force the price of hogs
below the mark which gives the
fGrmer a profit above cost o. produc
ton. why may not the farmer pack
his own hogs? He can. We know
farmers who have done this with
eery Satisfactory results. These
farmer, we should add, are among
the most wide awake and prosperous
within the range of our acquaintance
We would say then, keep strict
account of the cost of production.
and if. when your hogs are ready to
market, the price is below the cost,
pack your hogs. You will thus Sc
cure better returns for your pork,
and ath the same time help to check
the fall in market Journal of Agri-
