HOGS AS A MONEY CROP.
Reasons Why Southern Farmers
Should Raise Hogs on Uomfny.

This is a mighty good year. as we have
said before, remarks the Augusta Chron-
icle, for southern farmers to raise their
own hog and hominy. We can worry along
on a limited supply of cotton. but bread
and meat are essentials. Our farmers
need to unlearn the theory that It is bet
ter to raise cotton and buy meat and
bread. The Montgomery Advertiser well
says:
Now, a farmer may think five or six
cents per pound is a very cheap price 10
pay for the meat with which to supply
his family and his tenants, and that would
be a proper view to take OF It, but foI
two facts. One is that he too often has
to set his meat I'm the way Of advances.
paying 30 to 100 per cent. more than the
cash price, and the other is the possibility
that he may have To pay for it with five
or six-cent cotton. Either Of these puts
g. quite different face on the transaction.
and both together are the sure foundation
Of worrying and harassing debt. Our
printed extracts show that some at least
Of Alabama's farmers are trying 10 steer
clear of either Of these drawbacks, and
that many are succeeding. The sam,
argument applies with equal force to the
purchase of cheap corn with cheap cot
ton, or at advanced prices. Surely those
who are making their own corn and mca.
are setting a good example TO all thell
brethren"

Fine Appointments.
ATLANTA Journal.)

The President and the Secretary OF War
have shown admirable judgment in the
selection of southern men for important
positions in the volunteer army.
The South has received three major
generalships and two brigadier general
ships-the former going to Fitzhugh Lee,
Joseph a. Wheeler. and NJ. G. Butler, and
the latter TO w. w. Gordon and w. c.
Oates. We have spoken of the appoint
ment OF Lee and Wheeler. They have ex-
cellent company in General Butler, who
was distinguished for his skill and gal
lantry in the Confederate army. He rose
to the rank Of major-general in the Army
OF Northern Virginia, and was one Of the
fighting generals of the war W. w. Cor
don's appointment has given great salts
faction TO Georgia. He is a model soldier.
and will be found very useful in the war
now upon us. His experience In the Con-
federate service has been followed by con-
slant activity in military affairs almost.
ever since the civil war was over. No
man has done more for the militia OF
Georgia. 1t is to his efforts that we owe
the organization OF a cavalry regiment In
this State General Gordon richly de-
serves the honor that has been bestowed
upon him by the government.
w. c. Oates carries into the service OF
the United States army an empty sleeve,
mark OF honor which he received as a
Confederate soldier. He entered the civil
war as a private, and rose to the COM
mand OF a famous Alabama regiment. His
career has been remarkably successful in
peace as well as in war. lie Is one Of the
best representatives Alabama has had in
Congress since the war, and his record as
Governor is highly credltable 10 him. The
major-generals and brigadier- generals
from the South In this war are men OF
whom tea whole country has a right to
be proud.

1T IS VERY SIMPLE.

IL a mans height were 5 feet inches,
he would only be found between pages 1
and TO- or, say in the small class of
heights. If he had a large head length.
he would be between pages 46 and TO- II
he had n large middle finger, he would
be between pages 81 and 10. If he had a
large foot, he would be between pages 81
and TO- If he had a large forearm, he
would be on page 20. Therefore without
taking any measurements, and thus class
flying a collection. a man might be on
any Of the 200 pages, but by use of the
five measurements as already stated, the
height, head length, middle finger foot,
and forearm, il is possible TO determine
in a moment which page a man will be
found on, no matter what name he gives
or how much his appearance may be
changed in different photographs.
The advantage of this classification OF
descriptions can be best appreciated when
applied 10 large number, say 800. CO., One
measurement reduces such a collection to
10000, two measurements reduce It TO
about $1,000 three measurements reduce
1t 10 l,WO, four measurements reduce IL
to less than 1900, five measurements re-
duce IL to less than 500. six measure
ments reduce IL to 500, seven measure
ments reduce IL 10 about 49, eight mea-
surements reduce IL to so, nine measure
mepts reduce il TO II, and ten measure
ments reduce it to 5.

! "At our convention an excellent repor
| was read bringing this state or anars
| and also explaining the Bertllon system
! This is one of measurement'-and here
| Major Howard read the following extrac
/ from the report:
L will now explain the purpose and value
| Of taking a number of measurements
by taking uniform and accurate mea-
surement of the height, we are able 10
classify a collection OF descriptions. For
| example, we place all men measuring
below feet 8 inches in height in what
can be called the small class; men nea-
surfing between feet and D feet are
placed in the medium class, and those
| above 5 feet are placed in the large
class.
TO take 10000 descriptions and thus clas-
sify them, would place on an average
about $500 in the small class, or those
below feet g.; $500 would be in the me-
dunn class, or between feet and feet
s: $500 would be in the large class, or
above 5 feet 8.
Thus It will be seen, II we took only
this one measurement and used 1t to clas-
sify descriptions, we would save just two
thirds of the work necessary in looking
through a collection without u. III
mans height is feet 10, there is no use
measure 8 feet 8 or less, nor among 5,5VV
who measure between feet and feet
s; the only place he can be Is In with
the large men, or those measuring above
feet s. This classification by the height
divides collection, or "RogueS Cal
lery" into three parts. but by taking the
? measurement OF a mans head length we
get another classification. and are able
to divide a "Rogues' Gallery" into nine
parts, or say LOO in each part. in a col
lection Of 10000.
EACH DIVISION CUTS IT DOWN.
Each part, with thirty-three hundred
heights. is divided into three parts or
small heads medium, heads, and large
heads. 1t can thus be seen that each
measurement taken enables US to divide
a collection of descriptions by three.
Dividing eleven hundred heads by the
middle-finger measurement. reduces II TO
about three hundred and sixty each,
small, medium, and large fingers. Dr.
viding three hundred and sixty finger
measurements by the foot measurement
reduces 1t to one hundred and twenty
each, small, medium, and large feet. Dr.
yiding one hundred and twenty foot mea-
surements by the forearm measurement
reduces it to forty each, small medium,
and large forearms. Dividing forty fore
arms by the little-finger measurement
reduces IL to about twelve each, small
little fingers, medium little fingers, and
large little fingers.
To illustrate this possibly more clearly
take, for example, the classification In
this manner, Of a book or "Rogues Al
bum containing ten thousand pictures.
Suppose there are two hundred leaves,
with fifty pictures on each leaf. From
page l to page 20 would be placed all
men Of small height; from page 20 TO page
40 would be placed men OF medium
height, and from page 40 TO 200 would
be placed men of large height.
