Thc Lean Hoe.

The premium on light hogs IL still
maintained at the principal live stock
markets, and this situation seems like
ly to continue for some time to come.
This is in part because of the growing
demand from the consumer for large
proportion of lean meat in pork. and
in part because of the feed conditions.
The great corn crop of last season,
with the prospective large crop follow
ing it this year. make the great fatten-
ing grain of the West ABUNDANT and
cheap, and this is the sit,N Ntion that
renders heavy hogs plenty Ind light
ones comparatively scarce. AS the
market always pays the least for that
which is most abundant. and the most
for that which is the least SO, the dis.
count Oh heavy hogs may be expected
to continue for some time to come.
The only objection to this is that the
margin is not wide enough. There
never has been a time yet when pack
,ers and killers could not have secured
we'll fed lean hogs If they had been
willing to pay for them. The whole
question is one Of feed, the hog Of the
swine belt being lard hog, because
the swine belt is practically the same
Us the corn belt. This class Of feed
naturally makes this kind of hog, and
1t Is made more easily and cheaply,
too, than a we'll fed, lean hog can be
made for the reason that the carbohy-
drates or fat-makers are cheaper than
albuninoids or muscle-makers. But II
the market will pay for making good
lean meat, it will get it. Nor will
there be any necessity for changing

Fannie rushed in distractedly. The

We hurried on deck, where. in the
gray light of the morning, could DIM

ages past by some terrible ocean COLI
vulsion. At a. III. the ship struck.
Resolving that Fannie and myself
should die together, lashed her with
q rope fast to my body.
At last the final crash came. A huge
wave lifted the vessel off the reef.
With Its recoil the steamer descended,
was split amidships. We could only
hope for speedy death, which we

When I awOke was lying on the
beach and the sun shone high in the
heavens.
Alas! My darling Fannie was dead.
OF that I could have no doubt. Such
was the fury of the waves that almost
all my clothing was torn from my
