The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1900-05-02

Lexington products are becoming
famous the land over and their quail
ties of excellency creates q demand
far in excess of the supply. 10 sell
products all that has to be done Is to
advertise that they came from Lex
ingtop. II is q common thing these
DAYS to see Columbia merchants ad-
vertising Lexington sweet potatoes'"
g.. Her lumber is in great demand
and her mills are flooded with orders
80 as to necessitate many OF them
working day and night to keep up
with orders. The brick manufac
tured from her dirt has a national
reputation and the manufacturers
find it impossible to fill orders and
now her bosom is being ripped open
ed by powder and dynamite and she
is made to reveal her hidden stores
of fac granite to supply the needs
of this progressive age. We clip
the following from the Columbia
State:
ACROSS the river Iiu Lexington
county, on the G N. and L railroad
pear the old Ssluda factory, Contrac-
tor R G. Ross is getting out thous
ands of tons OF granite. This quarry
is and has been worked for sometime
on the government contract held by
Mr.. Ross for the coast of this State,
the rock being shipped to George
town via the Cast Line. Recently
Mr.. Rose secured alarge government
contract at Jacksonville. He had in
tended opening a new quarry near
Cayce's, but he has instead decided
to take the rock from the Ssluda
q1arries, and has wired his manager
to put on two more foremen and one
hundred more men, and ship the
rock via Coast Line and Plant sys-
tenn. This increase in the force will
mean a pay roll of from $1,000 to
81, 500 a week at this quarry alone"

can be finished off very neatly by using
16 feet Of seven-eighths inch quarter
round. In making the roofing use eight
pieces of six inch matched clear pine,
each IA feet in length and cut to seven
feet. There will be one seven foot
board left, but this will have to be rip
ped to finish the roof to the desired
width. The roof should be thoroughly
painted with a good oil paint to pre-
serve it and aid in turning water.
If one does not m for a floor, it can
be readily omitted, but in case it is
wanted 6S feet of eight inch stuff will
be sufficient. Hemlock will answer
every purpose. If there is no floor, the
hogs are liable to root up their nest
during winter when the ground is COW
cred with SNOW. Practically the house

as without.
The house is shown without any
door. The owner says it does not need
one. His houses are made practically
alright, so that very little snow or
wind blows in ven when the storm is
directly in front of the door. 1 asked
him if he found these houses large
enough for the hogs, and he assured
me they were. One will hold comfort
ably, he said, all the hogs that should
lie turned together. The cost of such
a house depends entirely on the Cost Of
lumber where the building is made.

Enrfching by Pasturfnr,

The pasturing Of q flock on a farm lie
one Of the most effective and important
ways Of improving a field, and in the.
general rotation Of crops 1t should be
made a special part Of it to have the
land under the sleeps feet one year
ont Of the number in the rotation fol-
lowed. The profit from this use OF the
land will be more than can be made in
any other way. The land is improved.
troublesome weeds will be got rid Of
and turned to good use, and the con
dition of the field will be bettered III
every way. 1t is to be regretted that
farmers on this continent do not realize
the truth Of this. It is the sheep of
Great Britain and ireland, Of Germany
and France, indeed of all European
countries, which have made the average
yield Of the crops twice ais much as that
Of our ields-sheep Breeder.

BRIBERY rs ALLEGED.

Four Members of tho Omaha Board OF
Education Arrested.
OMAHA, Jan. 1S.-Four members Of
the board Of education were arrested
during the day IN warrants. charging
them with accepting a bride. They are
A. M. Cewie, @. q. Trey, George H.
Hess and Frank A. Sears. The case
grows out of the letting Of a contract
for Venetian blinds for several new
school buildings erected last year. The
evidence on which the charge was
made was furnished by Charles Chin
qui, the representative of the Bostwick
& Buns company of Ohio. He made
affidavit to paying all the accused, ex-
cept Cowie, certain sums FOR their in
auence and turned over to the authori-
ties the checks with which the sums
were paid, showing the Endorsements of
the accused which were made when
the checks Q cashed. Cowie, he al.
leges, demanded money, but wanted
moro than he was willing to pay.

Large Hogs.

About this time of year, says The
American C%ultivator, as we look over
the exchanges, we frequently see re-
ports Of large hogs killed by various
persons, each trying to outboast the
one who made the previous report, and
every time we see such a report we
feel like saying, "The bigger the hog
the bigger fool the one who fattened
it." There is but excuse for hay.
ing such extraordinary weight In hogs.
When n has an old hog, kept for
breeding purposes until it is 10 or q
dozen years old, IL fattened it will be
a large n very naturally, but we
think the owner of such an animal
would save more money to kill and
bury it than to try to get it fat. We
do not believe that in New England
any man can take a hog that weighs
250 pounds and buy the food for it and
get pork enough to pay for the food.
1t will cost less to feed two hogs until
they will dress 200 pounds each than
to make one weigh $50 pounds and less
to bring three to weigh It's pounds
each than one which will weigh $50
pounds. Such heavy hogs cannot be
sold at as good a price as the lighter
ones, and the pork is not as good for
home use. We do not believe in kill
ing lean hogs nor in keeping them on
poor food or short allowance to get
more lean meat, as it is not necessary.
The latest hog we ever raised and
killed weighed less than $50 pounds
when dressed, and, we think, as lean
q one was an old breeder that dressed
720 pounds. The first was pork for
our OWL eating and good enough for
anybody. The big one was sold to q
sausage manufacturer for what he
would pay.
