The Profit in Hog Raising.


Charles Haines: The profit lies in
No breeder or feeder loses anything by
constantly keeping his hogs in con-
dition ready for market. Care. judg-
ment and skill pay proportionately as
well in raising porkers as thorough
breds, but remember that life is too
short to waste in feeding scrubs; the
lower the price of pork the more i'm
portant it is that the farmer have the
best machine to work up corn at
profit Pigs intended for pork should
be crowded as rapidly as possible to
be the most profitable. The advantage
of growing improved stock does not
lie merely in its better adaptation to
the market wants and to the fact that
it will respond more promptly and con-
tinuously to feed; the early age at
which it natures is one of the sources
of profit to its owner. Early maturity
is chiefly a question of feeding for
generations with a view of making
rapid and continuous growth, the early
maturing quality being transmitted, as
it gradually increases, by heredity.
Breeding at an early age also prob
ably has much to do with the creation
of quality. 1t is possible to push it so
far as that the results will be incon-
sistent with full and healthy develop
ment, but if this be avoided early ma
turity is one of the most valuable at
tributes of the improved animal.
A Castor Bean Market.-Perry, the
county seat of Noble county, Okla
homa, is the greatest shipping point
for castor beans in the United States,
says the Kansas City Journal. In 1897
there was shipped from Perry $4,000
bushels of castor beans. In 1898 the
yield was hardly as heavy, and this
years output will be about the same
as in 1898. The season begins about
Aug. l and continues till frost. Abb
sence of protection against foreign
beans prevents shippers getting the
highest price; the wild Indian beans
also are bought and tend to lower the
price of the cultivated. The price of
the latter in 1897 was 81 per bushel;
last year. so to 80 cents. The Perry
beans are chiefly grown in Payne and
Pawnee counties, along the Cimarron
river.

up with straw or something of like
nature, so that the thawing will be
gradual. Frozen onions should not be
handled, as it causes bruising and con-
sequent rotting.
The fall Of the year rs the time to
manure the ground for certain early
spring crops, and this manuring should
be done early enough in the fall to
permit the manure to become incor-
porated with the soil and partly rotted.
1t must be remena bered that 1t takes
time for this to be done, and that time
does not exist in the spring between
the time when the ground is warm
enough for seed and when early crop
seeds are planted. Thus, if we want
early peas, they must be put in the
grounu in March. If they have plenty
of plant food, prepared for them the
previous fall, they will push up rap
idly and make a good growth before
Towering, which means that the har-
vest will be abundant. If, as is fire.
quently the case, the manure, green
at that has been put in the ground
at about the same time as the peas,
they will be unable to use it in time
to do much good. The early stimula-
ton is of the most value. What APP
plies to early peas, applies, equally we'll
to manuring for early cabbage, lettuce,
radishes, and in fact all early vege-
tables. The farmer should decide now
what ground is to be given them the
next year, end begin laying his foun-
dation for good crops in good fertiliza-
ton of the ground for them.

Our Horses in Germany

Exports of horses to Germany con-
tinue to attract attention both at home
and abroad. Regarding American
horses in Germany, the Hamburger
Nachtrichten, in a recent article, says:
''Importations from America have
caused the horse-raisers of Holstein to
suffer much of late. A stock company
has just been formed in Berlin for the
express purpose Of importing horses
from the United States The Amer
cans have succeeded in breeding a
horse which compares very favorably
in every way with the Holstein animal,
especially in those points so highly
priced in a work horse, namely, broad
hips and large build generally. The
best markets for Holstein horses have
always been the provinces of Saxony,
Thuringia and Brunswick. The de-
mand is created by the large sugar
factories. This market has been de-
creasing of late, owing to American
horses being purchased in Berlin. A
few days ago this Berlin company
shipped drove Of eighty through
Hamburg en- route for Milan, Italy
where they are to be used on the tram
ways. Almost every week a long
freight train filed with American
horses leaves the Berliner Bahnhof for
various parts of Germany. In spite OF
expensive freight and tariff of 81 per
head, the Americans have built up a
very respectable competition in the
German market"

The Poultry Crop.-It is claimed that
the supply of poultry for 1899 will be
below the average. and if such is true
there will be good prices after winter
sets in. 1t is the custom to kill the
late chickens and keep them in stor-
age. but this supply will also be CORE
spondingly short. Next spring the
prices for the early broilers will no
doubt be higher than for many years
previously, and the incubator will pay
if managed properly Laying hens
that are now moulting should be re-
tanned as well as the pullets.-Ex.

An Interesting and instructive session
Heid at Weston Yesterday.
Special to the Register.
Weston, W. Va, May 18.-The sec
ond days session of the State Medical
Association opened with prayer by
Rev. Robinson, of the Methodist
church. A number of papers were
read, the first being by DR.. Golden, of
Aikens, On new remedies" 1t treat
ed upon antitoXines, and various eX-
tracts. This was an unusually good
paper. The next paper was by DR.. c..
F. Ulrich, of Wheeling, on Diagnosis. -
Nearly two hours was consumed in the
discussion of this paper by Drs. Hoff-
man, of Keyser; Brownfeld, of Fair
mont; Jepson, of Wheeling, and Others
At the afternoon session DR.. c. c..
Hershman, of Pittsburg, read a paper
on Uterine trouble causing insanity"

DR.. Jepson's paper on "Hypnotism"
was a mastery effort Dr. Hupp, of
Wheeling, read paper upon appendi-
citis, accompanied by draw ngs, giving
an account of As cases in which he took

TAXES WILL REMAIN CHE SAME.

The Council Committee on Finance
has fallen in with the advice of the
Register, and there will be nothing in
the shape of increased city taxation
this year, unless it happens through
the remote contingency that Council
may attempt to upset the work of the
Committee and map out some radically
different schedule of receipts and ex-
penses. The Committee has figured
out receipts of $428 ,001.01, and has
made the expenses balance. The new
city prison idea is thrown overheard
bodily, the fire department gets all it
asked for, the gas works gets more, al
though the new apparatus is not pro-
vided for, the police department, in
Gliding city prison is well taken care
OF, all other departments are adequate
II cared for, and $4,2S567 of outstand-
ing B. P. w. orders are taken up, the
contingent fund of the Board being. cut
that much for the purpose. Taking
everything into consideration, the bal
ance sheet appears to be very salts
factory one, and can scarcely be i'm
proved upon under existing circum-
stances.

BIG RISE EXPECTED.

Rivermen here are jubilant over the
big rise that is reported coming out OF
both the upper rivers. AS a result of
the recent heavy rains the past few
days both the Allegheny and the Mo-
nongahela are running out heavily. All
the tributaries between this point and
PittSburg are also on the rampage, as
the rainfalls were general over this sec
ton. Yesterday morning early the
swell began to be felt here and all day
long the water rose at rate of about
5 inches to the hour. The water is
expected to do 20 feet or better before
the rise is over.
Coal operators at Pittsburg are very
much pleased with the looks of affairs,
as the rise gives promise to hold up
long enough to allow the coal boats TO
get in and out again.

CENSUS TAKERS,
Mails of Congre smen and Senator's
Burdened With Applications--How
They Are Sel-c ed.

Special to the Register.
Washington, D. c., May 1S.-The
mail of the West Virginia Senators is
nowadays burdened with applications
for positions in the census bureau. All
of these are turned over to the census
officials, who inform the applicants
that they must undergo the prescribed
examination. After that is over the
app ointments will be determined by the
amount of influence which the particu-
lar applicant may be able to bring to
bear upon Director Merriam 1t is
well recognized that few appointments
WI be made in the census bureau
which are not dictated by Congressman
and Senators.
Two. of West Virginia's census super
visors have thus far been appointed,
Lamar Powell, of Fairmont, Marion
instance of Congressman Dayton, and
Judge t. S. Brown, in the Fourth, on
the request of Judge Romeo H. Freer.
Capt. Dovener has not yet indicated the
man to be named in the First. In the
Third district, which has a Democratic
Congressman, Senators Elkins and
Scott are dividing the patronage. For
census supervisors in this district Sen
ator Elkins has recommended the ap-
phur Springs, Monroe county, and Sem
ator Scott has recommended J. A. Old
field, of Welsh, Mcdowell county. One
of these men is expected to drop out of
the race, but which one does not yet
appear
+ The supervisors have the appoint
ment of the census enumerators, and
applicants for those places should ap-
ply to them. The compensation of a
supervisor has been fixed at not less
than $1,000, depending upon the popu-
lation and other characteristics of his
district. An enumerator is entitled to
not less than So or more than Sc day
while engaged in his work He is paid
two or three cents name, and his dis
trict is limited to not over 1000 popu-
lation. His job will last a month or
two and he may be appointed without
examination. 1t can be easily seen
that these places furnish a fine oppor-
tunity for the reward of political work
ers.

LAWS BIG RISE EXPECTED.
SHIRAS A TOTAL LOSS OTHER
RIVER ITEMS.

John G. Canes, United States district
attorney at Charleston, has by direction
OF John w. Griggs, the attorney gem
eral of the United States, asked for an
Injunction against the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company restraining the
company from reconstructing the rail-
road bridge at Bellaire 1t is expected
that the injunction will be granted
The bridge at present has channel
span of 322 feet. The rivermen want
the bridge constructed so that the
channel span will be 800 feet in width
The railroad company is making an
effort to reconstruct the bridge under
the old bridge laws, and the case will
be watched with interest by the river
men,
The Bellaire bridge is one of the most
dangerous on the Ohio and has caused
more losses than any other bridge on
the Ohio river.
