people miscegenate, what effect that
would have on the conditions there
is a problem. Delegate Wilcox,
who represents the islands in con-
gress, does not approve of the move,
and will make some effort in CON
gress during the coming session to
prevent it, but this is impossible, as
it is a part and parcel of the United
States and every American citizen
in the United States has the right to
go to any part or place within its do
main.

MUST BROADEN OUT.

Speaking about colOred men Of
literary ability writing for maga-
zines, and the fact that they do not
write on any subject save that about
their own race, reminds the writer
that the literary field has not yet at
tracted many writers among the Ne
gro race. As said above. when thev
have written at all, they have writ
ten mostly concerning their. own
race, but they have not made any eff
fort whatever to furnish purely lit
erary articles for publication. The
story Of how they are oppressed
down trodden and Inundated may
be a splendid one to gain public
sympathy on, but it is an awfully
poor one to gain literary fame on.
In order to become one of the liter
airy lights of the country, the colored
man must discuss the questions of
the day, irrespective Of his race, the
same as any other Of the leading
writer's Of the country He must
write about those things and the ef-
feet of those things that transpire
even though they may be opposed
to the race of people to which he be-
longs, just the same as if they favor
ed it. For ones articles, thoughts and
opinions to live in the future, they
must possess that deep and profound
literary merit that will attract the
attention Of mankind through al
ages.

General Ageja was quite a famous

the field of battle, but after the
Americans occupied the country, she
laid down her arms, and is now con-
Quoting an immense woodward close

Recently there was sold in Paris
for $4,000 a costly piece Of lace.
which, it is said, caused the fatal
quarrel between Prince Napoleon
and his wife Josephine. It was. a
very costly piece Of work, and it had
been taken home by Napoleon to his
wife, but she not valuing its real
worth, had it cut to suit an idle
fancy of her own. Napoleon walked
in her room about the time it was
being cut and exclaimed "cannibalr'
and walking up to her slapped her
Jaws and turned and walked out of
the room.

HE WAS TOO CUTE.

Though the Christmas festivities
have ragged in Seattle during the en-
tire week not one murder, strange to
say, has been committed for a week
or more. This, however, did not
seem at all pleasing to some Of the
imbibers, and so one Charles Felmel
thought he would break the record
and drink himself to death. Having
filled himself up to the brim with
vile drinks, he at once began to ex-
hibit to his fellow seamen his aero
batic qualifications. Being near th'
water, he fell overheard in the bay
and before he could be rescued wa.
drowned.

How to Make HOGS
Pay Most.

In Ireland, where landlordism
has for generations exacted high
rents, furnised poor improve
ments and kept the tenants in "a
state of universal and consta Mt
poverty, it is always a difficult
thing to meet the payments of
rent. The experience of the
poverty stricken tenants has
taught them that the safest thing
to depend upon to pay the rent is
the pig. While not farming un-
der any such stress in this coun.
try, it has been pretty generally
found in America that when hogs
are raised in the most business
like way, so as to get the largest
possible profits with the smallest
amount of risk, they can be re-
lied upon for profit with more
assurance than any other branch
of farming.
But to get certain and profita-
BILE results it must be understood
definitely that there must be no
haphazzard about the business;
everything must be done to COW
er properly every detail of the
business. The hogs must be of
good breed; they must be good

Chinese Agriculture

The "heathen Chinese is a

cultural science Notwithstanding

having experimental station
and agricultural colleges where
10 century agricultural science is
taught. Our readers will re-
member the wonderful results of

barren Long Island land recited
in the TIMES few issues back.
Facts are worth all the fine spun
theories in the world, and facts
are determined by expert ence.
The Chinese have for thousands
of years been STUDYING agricult-
ure, and to support their teeming
population have been forced to
improved methods and intensive
production. We make here two
important extracts:

cradle advantage over us in

has come the winter muskmelon,
which is now growing successful

ance of exposure to disease.
AS to the breed, we do not pro
pose to make suggestion. The
two most popular in America are
the Berkshires and Poland Chi
mas. They are both good; but
some of them are better than
others. One must have, as we
have said, prolific sows; and they
should give two litters a year.
If the litters are eight or niue
each, and they ought to be, a
properly kept SOW will return a
very handsome revenue to the
owner of the farm.
The matter of breeding for two
litters year, as we'll as feeding
pigs through the winter months,
are still mooted points with some
but the consensus of opinion is
favorable to both. A Virginia
farmer, who is manifestly pro-
gressive one, in writing on these
two points in the Southern Farm
er, says:
IF our experience taught US
anything it was that with two
filters a year a SOW will produce
more and stronger pigs at each
litter and have more milk for
them than she would have for
one spring litter"
And further: Late last fall
we had SOW farrow. When the
pigs were big enough to wean
they were fed some corn with all
the pumpkins they could eat.
About the first of January they
were turned out on the artichokes
and kept there until couple, of
weeks before the crimson clover
came in bloom, when they were
given access to it. On May Is
