Sir Thomas Upton is reported to
have cleared $S5O,OOO by pork deal
in Chicago. 1t hes also been said that
Upton had so firm a hold on Chicago
pork that he might have doubled his
winnings had he been so minded. The
Chicago pork spectators are puzzled
to know how the thing was done.
They had supposed themselves to know
a thing or two about the pork mar
ket, and yet they let this stranger beat
them out Of sS5O,OOO. This stranger
made a corner in October pork, which
raised the price from S11 to $40 bar
rel. While this operation was going
on there was plenty Of pork in the
country. The pork spectators whose
business it was to know where and at
what figure pork was held did not sus-
pect what was going on until they
were called upon to fiji their contracts
at Mr.. Lipton's own price. This pork
operation may inspire a doubt in the
minds Of yachtsmen if Mr.. Lipton's
expressed determination to carry the
Americas cup back with him, If he
can do so by fair means, may mean
more than IL was supposed to mean
when the warning note was uttered

It viii be noted that the greatest
gain was made by the lots having
corn-meal as a part OF the ration, the
pumpkin-fed lot being in the lead.
The least gain was made by the lot
receiving only milk and raw pumpkins.
The table shows there was a range
in daily gain from 112 pounds In the
lot fed raw pumpkins to 2.26 pounds
in the lot receiving corn-meal in con-
'nection with raw pumpkins. We also
see there was but little difference in
lot gain and average daily gain where
pumpkins were fed cooked or raw.
Again. the highest market value was
from the lot fed raw pumpkins and
corn-meal. Close to this lot In value
are the lots fed cooked pumpkins and
corn-meal; corn-meal. and corn-meai
and bran. There was but little differ
enee in the cost OF the food for these
lots, the corn-meal-brain ration being
the highest
The lot fed raw pumpkins and mix
brought In the least money, but the
cost Of food was less by half than any
of the other lots. Estimating the cost
for each pound OF gain we find the
raw-pumpldn lot produced a pound Of
gain at a cost OF only 2.39 cents, while
all the other lots required over cents
worth Of food to produce one pound or
gain and the corn-bran ration cost
over 4 cents per pound. The highest
cost to produce a pound Of gain was
in the apple-pumpkin ration, where
4.64 cents OF food was required TO pro-
duce once pound Of gain. This was
due to the price OF apples. The lat
ter even at the low price Of 10 cents
per bushel proved less economical as
a food for feeding these pigs than any
Of the other rations. and where they
were used in connection with pump
kins the average profit for the whole
period was but 33 cents for each pig
All things considered, the lots fed
pumpkins, either raw or cooked. 10
connection with corn-meal, produced
the greatest profit. and at least cost
for each pound gain, live weight
Prof. Burkett Of the experiment sta
tion draws the following conclusions:
!. The cooking OF pumpkins does
not increase their feeding value.
2 When pumpkins are available
for pig feeding they can be fed most
economically In connection with corn
meal.
3. While raw pumpkins fed IN con
nection with milk produced a pou OF
gain at small cost. so few pounag were
produced It Is advisable to FEED corn
meal with them.
T. Apples even at the low price OF
10 cents per bushel, are not an econom-
ical food for pigs.
s. Bran is not desirable as food
for pigs. even II fed with corn-meal
This is further considered IN the fol-
lowing experiment

The hog Of today constitutes no less
than $40 different articles Of com
merce, and next to cotton aud wheat
furnishes the largest values IN ex-
ports from the United States. It's
name has become an epithet says a
foreign writer on swine. Its applica-
ton to man means greed and BRITISH
ness. It is commonly supposed to be
a seavenger, like the puddle duck. II

is much virtue In mud The hog
bathes in pools of it to coat his skin
against the attacks of insects; man
dips his festered hide in It TO improve
his circulation and draw out his gout

These reflections are induced by the
indignities offered a useful animal.
Ine hog was the cleanliest OF beasts
until man built a sty and imprisoned
him in filth, fattened him on filth,

Some attempts have been made to
compile estimates Of the loss from
smuts in the different states. The es-
Inmates put the loss to farmers every
year at tens Of millions OF dollars. Few
farmers that suffer from the presence
OF smuts realize H. The heads that
are smutted are stunted and do not
show above the others and some Of
them never get out OF the ohcath. So
the farmer fondiy dreams that he has

An apple grower in Pennsylvania
tells about a hail storm that swept
over his orchard when the fruit .sas
only partly grown. Where a hail stone
struck an apple a little hard knot
formed that seemed TO extend TO the
core. 1t ever remained a blemish on
the apple. While the rest Of the ap-
pie would color up, the spot hit by
the hailstone remained green in color.
Have any readers Of the Farmers Re
view had like experience?
A cherry grower says that II a sweet
cherry could be produced that would
prove remunerative It would take the
market. But the sour varieties are
the only ones that can be depended
on TO give good crops. It Is the same
condition Of affairs that confronts Us
In the growing Of almost every other
kind Of fruit The varieties Of inferior
quality have the most profit in them
simply because they can be depended
on to give fair crops every year.
Il IS not possible to inspect fruit IN
the same way that grain is inspected.
When barrel Of apples has been head
ed up, the apples having been pressed
down as much as possible. It would be
very destructive to the apples to have
them opened and exposed to the bruls-
ing Of repacking. repressing and re-
heading Nevertheless. the laws should
be stringent enough to protect both
the purchaser and the grower Much

Of mobilization. II good favored ap-
Piles are used the consumption Of the

apple for evaporation is a number two

large board of directors in a business
concern. All emotionalsm was as re-
mote from the constitution of that body
as a sky-rocket from table of statis-
tics. Hanna had planned the syndicate,
he had promoted it, he had made it 90.
He didn't know who would make the
motions, nor who would write up the
minutes, nor what phrasing would be
used ir the prospectus. But he knew
the men in the majority and he knew
that they. were there to Vote for Nc Kim
ley, and he knew that they were men to
accomplish their ends II was an old
story to Hanna-the picking and hand
ling of men. There are, 5000 men on hi 8
pay roll at Cleveland the docks. and
in the mines. and at furnaces, and at
desks, and on grip cars. There were
one-tenth az many delegates at st.
Louis; and besides, the ST. Louis con-
5vention was a cooperative corporation.
So Hanna didn't worry. Yet certain
things puzzled him. Despite the fact
tina reporters and editors of what might
have been called, with professional
courtesy, the loathed but esteemed con-
stemporaries, said unpleasant things in
double leads and short Paragraphs, and
claimed that the convention was sewed
up in a sack and more that it was
branded, gagged and deiivered; and,
still further, that5it was the personal
property, chattel and common appurte-
nant of Mark Hanna and of his heirs
and assigns forever; affairs took a turn
that would have astounded Hanna if he
had claimed property right in the dele
gates. For Hanna went into the battle
for Nc nom IN, a Inn, viii, a cay
lrency question was one of those
things dreamed OF in Hanna's phil
'osophy along with the civil serv-
ice and the Alaskan boundary and
