gan negotiations with the Cunard line.
of which Lord Inverclyde is the head.
No one is telling the inside story of
the negotia tions between the two men.
but the English lord seems TO hold the
key to the situation, and through his
refusal to permit his company to Join
the Morgan combine will probably
bring defeat TO the whole scheme.
1t was Lord Inverclyde who APP
pealed to the British government to
subsidize new line of ocean steamers
the company proposed TO build with
which to fight the trust, and which
would ply between English and Cana
dian ports. He could not have hit a
more opportune time than the pres
ent for making such a proposition.
for England Is not only counting favor
with her great North American colony
Just now, but the English people are
anxious to do any and all things that
will help stop the plans of Morgan.
The present Lord lnverclyde has
figured prominently in the CONNER
cial world for only about one year.
He is the eldest son of Sir John Burns.
Is baron OF Inverclyde, and was born
September II, 1861. His father be-
came the head OF the Cunard company
at the time of the reorganization Of
the concern when the original part
ners retired from the business, and
out of 1t he amassed u great fortune,
all Of which the son inherited at the
time of his fathers death, about one
year ago. II was the elder baron who
first suggested to the British govern
ment the scheme of adapting mer-
chant steamships for war purposes.

RAZoR-BAcK CROSSES.
Experiments Now Being Conducted
May Increase tho Profits Of the
swine Department

The fecundity, vigor and digeStive
propensities Of the razor-back hog is
TO be utilized in the production of good
hams and bacon. Experiments are be-
ing conducted at the Wisconsin expert
ment station in crossing the razor
back boar, direct from the wilds of
Arkansas, with Berkshire and Poland
China sows. The first cross is said to
be great Improvement over the male
parent, both in looks and quality of
the same pork. Subsequent genera
tions are expected to accentuate the
most desirable porking qualities of
the dam, while retaining the keen APP
petite and natural fecundity of the
wild hog. This is very interesting
as well as important experiment. AT
one time the rough, wild hog of the
forest was the only source Of pork that
our forefathers knew anything about.
Thousands of years were required TO
improve such rough stock to its pres
ent satisfactory condition. 1t is not
to be wondered at that during all the
necessaryinbreeding for special points
the final progeny should lose some of
its original digestive and productive
vigor. If these desirable qualities can
now be extracted from the original
type of wild boar and incorporated
into our present symmetrical breeds
by judicious crossing, the profits from
the swine department of the farm will
be still greater.-Agricultu Epito-

which place he succeeded about one
year ago upon the deaAh Of Lord Rus
sell. Previous to that time he had
been the attorney general of Eng
land, and had represented rhe Isle OF
Wight in the British parliament since
1885. He has served In the judicial
and legislative departments of the
English government in many capaci-
ties, and is generally recognized as
the ripest judicial scholar in England.
He was knighted by Queen Victoria
in 1855, and elevated TO baronetcy at
the time OF his appointment as chief
justice. He IS nearing the end of his
sixtieth year, having been born De-
cember 22, 1912, and is the second son
of Thomas Webster, in his time one of
the most learned lawyers of England.

graped by the writer on one of the
large hog-rsising farms in this com
immunity. 1t is, in my opinion. a
cheap, ideal platform for feeding
corn to hogs, shelied or in the ear.
The platform is about 6x12 feet, suffi-
ciently large to accommodate eight
or ten fair-sized hogs The owner
OF this farm has several just such
platforms which he uses in feeding
his hogs, so that each litter is kept
separate from the others. The plat
form itself is made of two-inch
plank - feet long. 1t is considered
best TO use plank on account of the
wear and tear. l have used both the
ltwo-inch plank and inch boards; the
inch stuff will do, but will not last
as long.
In framing the platform the planl1s
SHOULD be mounted upon 2x4s set up
--edgewise, The 2x4s should be of
Z good pine or oak: either will last
well The plank are securely nailed
20 the 2X4s, On one side OF the plat
form is the trough, and this is good
place for it. II gives the hog good
place to stand while drinking and be
free from mud and slush in very bad
weather. At the other side and end
are nailed 2X4s to keep the corn
from working of of the platform
when the hogs are eating. The OPP
posite end has no cleat but Is left
open to give place to clean the
platform readily after each feeding
When building the platform let il
incline toward the indicated end so
that in rainy weather the water will
wash and clean the platform.
The amount of material required

feet, and at the price of hemlock

such preference to the college of

Cardinal Gotti has servedthe church
in many capacities IN different coun-
tries. He is of humble birth, being the
son Of dock laborer OF Genoa, and
has risen to his present position
through his own efforts and worth.
He began his career In the church as
a barefoot Camelite monk. having
graduated from the Jesuit college at
Genoa and entering the Camelite or
der soon rose to the head of it.
At the time Of the overthrow of the
monarchy in Brazil there were many
difficult questions to be settled in con-
nection with the church in that coun-
try, and the task was intrusted TO Got
ti. 1t was as a reward for his skill in
the settlement of these difficulties
that he was elevated TO the sacred col
lege in 1895, and since that time he has
been prominent IN every important
movement of the church.

personally that there has not been a

years. The natural flow of water east
from the Coteau Hills obviates the dan
ger of drought and insures an unfailing
supply of excellent water at moderate

Iowa is the greatest state in the
Union because it is in the region Of suf-
