The southern people have n taste along
this line and will certainly succeed.
There are not enough dairy cows in
the state, of course, but encouraging
progress is being made in that direc-
ton, also.
"They keep sheep in the south, but
not enough" said he. "They have not
quite realized that IL is particularly
their privilege to furnish the early
spring lambs for the northern mar
lsets, where they sell at very high
price.
1.-The conditions in the south are en-
tirely favorable to the production OF
the bacon hog The people in the corn
belt of the Mississippi valley want a
market for their corn and feed the hog
as long as he will make any gain. The
producer of the bacon hog, however
disposes of the animal sooner, ut a
younger age.
"As soon as the southern people give
attention to tile dairy industry, there
will be q great increase in its products
When cotton was high, few years
ago, the southern producer sent north
for his bacon. He has learned to-day
that it is wise for him to produce his
own bacon, and to a considerable ex'
tent, is doing so. There are probably
not enough hogs in the south to pro-
duce all its meat, but little increase
in pasture will enable it to keep a
great many more. The people of the
south do not fully realize what they
are able to produce in the way oil
grasses and legumes suitable for live
stock, but they are rapidly compre'
bending what their privileges are in
that regard

UPROARIoUs APPAREL.
That Worn by the Young Man of the
Period Would Make Solomon
Look Like Thirty Cents.

Some hopeful people had an idea last sum:
mer that the limit had about been reached
in the loud colors OF mems attire, IN shirts,
ties, hosiery and soft hats, and that this
summer might see return to more placid
and subdued hues and patterns as sort OF
reaction. The advance styles in the win
dows OF the haberdashers' shops indicate
that such hopes are vain and that linen and
things will this year be even more startling
than last season, if that be possible. Some
of the shirts on display in the windows seem
to actually shrek through the glass at the
observer, and the width of the stripes is OF
the general style and pattern so long popu'
lar at Joliet penitentiary. These conversa-
tional shirts have gradually grown worse
and worse each year until now the pessimists
do not see how anything worse can happen
than the things which are now on sale.
The red hat affected by the college boy
last year and its side partner the blue crush
hat, have rival this year in apale white hat,
with the under side of the brim and also the
band of deep blue, making a striking con-
trast of color, which seems to be what is
most particularly desired,
