FAIR PROFIT IN PORK.
High Price for Some Little
Time to Come.

Prices in the hog market have been
what may be called firm" for good
many months. That they are to re-
main so is indicated to some extent
by the anxiety shown by the packers
who are doing all possible to stimulate
hog raising. The recent high prices
have resulted in the marketing of
good many light hogs. In some of the
Chicago markets a good many light
pork loins are being sold, some of the
loins weighing about five pounds
each, less than half the usual. The
pigs were evidently marketed because
their owners feared drop in prices,
but this very process is most likely to
prevent a drop in prices by decreasing
the supply of mature hogs. We do not
mean to say that the prices are to
stay at the present point. That would
be absurd. The market must and will
change in response to the multitudious
influences that are always affecting it.
But the prices of hogs will for along
time at least remain high enough to
permit of the wise feeder and judicious
marketer making profit on his invest
ment as we'll as to get pay for his work.
There are few farmers that raise too
many hogs. 1t is more usual for him
not to raise as many hogs as would
yield him profit. The men that have
been raising hogs for years and have
kept at it through bad times and good
are now making money out of their te-
nacity. There is money in pork, but
the farmer that U0eS into hoo raiSin Or
in good times and out of hog raising in
bad times is likely to miss it.-Farm-

very general way. His veteran man
aging editor, Mr.. Nicholson, has prac-
teal control.
The Reds live in one of the great
Madison avenue houses built by
Henry Willard as part of his stu
pendous "bluff" when he was trying
to hold up the shares of Northern
Pacific. Willard, like Reid, was in
early life newspaper reporter. The
house cost close to ID million dollars,
which is a pretty good price for it to-
have sheltered two newspaper men in
succession.
The Reds are unquestioned MEM
bers of aristocratic society in New
York and Washington. They have
great wealth and are we'll acquainted
in London, though Mr.. Reid's minis
terial experience was acquired in
Paris.
I wonder if he will wear knee
breeches! It's been long time since
a king of Great Britain and Ireland
was crowned. The last time it hap
pened pretty much everybody wore
'em. Some American bishops who'd
never think of doing it here wear obi
cycle pants" over the water after the
fashion of English bishops. And that
leads me to another and very irrev-
erent wonderment: Will Mr.. Reid, if
he does wear 'em, stuff the calves of
his stockings or wear his own thin
shanlls eau naturel?'

Keen the sheen Undisturbcd

No calves, hogs, colts or other stock
should be allowed to run with the
sheep flock, or in any way annoy or
scare them, when in their lot at night,
or even anywhere, says the New York
Farmer. A shepherd dog with which
they are every day familiar may be al
lowed among them, but all other dogs
should be prevented from crossing
their small Enclosures, or even pas
lures, especially during their breeding
or CESSATION periods. Quiet, gentle and
familiar handling of the flock of ewes
and rams will have good influence on
the habits of the comiyg hocks of
lambs.

But for the Schley affair Miles and
Dewey would have been the army

Wilson and Capt. Clark will we'll rep

Dewey himself; for the voyage of the
Oregon around South America in
time to help lick the Spaniards was
great feat. Clark is the most mod
est and unassuming of men, and one
of the best beloved officers in the
service; and if not quite as hand
some as Miles, he comes pretty near
meeting that high standard. He is
low-voiced, courteous, considerate,
thoughtful.

The Easiest to Advance.

There is one point in favor of the
man who feeds sheep and lambs this
winter-his stock is cheap to start
with. 1t is hard to advance the price
of cattle and hogs when they sell
around Sc per hundred weight, much
harder than to put dollar per hun
dred weight onto the price of stock
that starts at $3.50 per hundred
weight. The prospects are that fat
sheep and lambs will show more ad-
vance per hundred weight than cattle
or hogs. But whether they will make
more money is question. Fat sheep
are not much above the price of feed
ers, whereas fat cattle are consider
ably above the price of feeders.-Na-
tiuual Stockman.

Pastor of Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn

30 NOT believe in woman suffrage.
Here are my reasons.
The Creator made man and woman to
govern, but in totally different spheres and
methods. Woman has her equally important
empire in which she is to rule-by persua-
sions, by captivities of love and by force Of
character. SHE HAS QUITE ENOUGH
NOW ON HER HANDS IN EDUCAT-
ING HERSELF AND THE YOUNG I'M
MORTALS COMMITTED TO HER
CARE, in governing home and household
and in exercising that gentle but mighty in
huence without which man would soon de-
generate into domestic and social barbarism.
1t is claimed that woman needs the bal
lot for self-protection. But every intelligent
person knows how readily, of late years, leg
islation has been granting the matter of prop
erty and her marital rights.
1t is quite plausible to say that as woman
does much to purify literature and society she
might do much to purify unclean politics.

WAR ON MOSQUITOES.
Recent epOrt Show That Good Re-
suits Have Been Obtained by
Havana Authorities.

1t is several months since the pub
Tic has heard anything of particular
interest concerning Havana's war on
the mosquito. Possibly some persons
have imagined that because the sub
ject ceased to figure in news dis
patches this method of preventing
yellow fever had been less successful
than it promised to be. How errone-
Gus such In idea, if it exists really is,
is proved by the contents of the last
report of Maj. w. c. Gorgas, U. s. A.,
chief sanitary officer of Havana. This
report is for the month of October
and shows that whereas this month
has been ordinarily one of the Sc
verest of the year so far as yellow
fever mortality is concerned, this
year there was not a single death
from the once much dreaded scourge.
During the last ten years the maxi
mum number of deaths from yellow
fever for the month of October was
in 1896, when a total of 240 was
reached. The minimum was in 1890,
when tht deaths numbered 25. The
average for the month during the ten
years has been 66.27 deaths, and it is
evident, as Maj. Gorgas observes, that
complete exemption of the city from
fatal cases of yellow fever is not the
result of mere chance, says the Troy
Times.
Maj. Gorgas declares With emphasis
that the real reason why the yellow
fever mortality is less is that a re-
lentless war has been waged upon the
mosquitoes that have hitherto trans
mitted the disease from one person
to another. 1t is true that the sani-
tary conditions of the city have been
much improved, but this has contrib
uted only in a small degree to the ex-
cellent results. The October figures
alone are cause for congratulation,
but when Maj. Gorgas adds that there
has not been a single death from yell
low fever in the entire city of Havana
since April !, although the average
for these months had been 362.1 6, it
is evident that results almost APP
p~roximating the miraculous have
been secured. 1t must be admitted
that Maj. Gorgas is the best author
ity as to what produced these re-
suits, and his findings should, there
fore, encourage the world to fight
with vigor that the mosquito may be
exterminated.

Expensive Books.

The largest sum of money ever paid
for a book was 100000 francs, an
amount equal to $4,000. This sum was
paid by the German government for
a "Missal" formerly owned by Pope
Leo X, and by him presented to Henry
VIII. of England, along with the parch-
ment which conferred on that monarch
the title of defender of the faith" a
title which has since been borne by
all Saxon rulers. In the time of Charles
Ii. the "Missal' was presented to the
ancestors Of the famous duke of Ham
ilton. The dukes library of rare and
curious books finally fell into the hands
of Sotherby, Wilkinson &c Hodge, Lon
don book auctioneers, who disposed
of the relic to the German govern
ment for the price stated. AS long ago
