PORK ATTWO CENTS A POUND

We have been constantly h hammer
ing at our farmers trying to drive
home the fact that they can and
should raise their meat at home. We
clip the following from the Yorkville
Enquire to show that you can raise
your own meat and do it at very
small cost. When meat can be raised
on your farm for II to &c pound it
is simply foolish to neglect doing so
and then go to town and pay from 8
to 10 cents q pound for western meat.
Although there are agreat many
people in this country who are un-
willing to credit the assertion that
pork can be raised at two cents q
pound, Mr.. G. H. Smith, who lives
five miles southwest Of Yorkville,
asserts that there is no question Of
the fact, because he has recently
made a successful demonstration.
81 have slaughtered seven hogs dur
ing the past few MONTHS" said Mr..
Smith, on Wednesday, "that netted
an aggregate Of l, GAO pounds, and all
the actual expense that have been
out for them has been just $24. This
is the cost Of all the salable food I
have given them-20 bushels of wheat
and 400 pounds ofwheat bran. II you
will make the cslcuation. you will
find that the total expense has been
a little less than Il cents a pound
for the meat, and according to the
ruling market prices cents a
pound-its aggregate is $181 20,
leaving O net profit Of $1O7. 90"
Asked for the history Of his expert
ence, Mr.. Smith said that the pigs
came in September, 1900, They ran
with the sows until they were wesned :,
after which they made their living,
in the corn field and pea stubble and
woods until the next spring, when
they were put in a pasture and kept
there until few weeks ago, when
they were put up and fed on a slop
made Of wheat ground in a corn mill
and wheat bran. All Of the pigs were
in fairly good condition when penned,
and three of them were kept but n
short time until they were killed.
They netted an average of 200 pounds
each. The other four were kept
longer with view to making them
produce more lard, and when killed
they averaged 260 pounds each.
According,to Mr.Smith's idea, pigs
that come in May should be allowed
to run in the crops till the next fall,
being kept of the cabbage, potatoes,
pinders and such like, and If there is
pasture that will furnish an abund-
ance of acorns the pigs will be able
to make their living through the
winter without much assistance in
the way of commercial food. He
says that he once tried the plan Of
making meat out Of eight and ten
months pigs; but one experience has
been enough. 1t is cheaper to let a
pig make its own way mosly until it
is about year old, and then with the
wheat slop, fat can be- put on at but
little cost.
We hope that every farmer in
Union county will read the above
and then determine to raise his own
meat with view to having some to
sell. We want some of it in town.

Response to these happy welcomes

He declared that Prohibitionists are
the best friends of the ministers, but
added slyly that ''it sometimes takes

Praise Meeting.
The State Convention really opened
with a praise meeting, led by Rev.
Stanley B. Roberts of Minneapolis. 1t
was not on the program, but was none
the less hearty. The thought of the
meeting was that if we win it will be
because God leads us and that our
steady onward march thus far had
been due to His leadership. A song
by J. w. Lansing was one of the in
teresting features of this meeting.
Called to Order.
Soon after 10 o'clock Geo. w. Hig-
gins, state chairman, called the con-
vention to order. True to himself, he
made speech as pointed and practical
as it was brief. In the praise meeting
Rev. D. Tice had called attention to
the charge sometimes heard that in a
certain Minneapolis campaign the Pro-
hibitionists had passed the word along,
"Vote for Ames!" Mr.. Higgins en-
braced this early opportunity to square
ly deny all such statements, and his
emphatic utterance was punctuated in
no doubtful fashion by the applause
of the Hennepin delegation and Mime
apolis visitors.
Garfield Yields the GaveI.
Prof. w. P. Garfield of Steele Coun-
ty was made Temporary Chairman and
Samuel Potts of Hennepin Temporary
Secretary The Chair appointed Chas.
M. Way of Hennepin to escort Prof.
Garfield to the chair A Committee
on Credentials was constituted of w.
G. Calderwood and one delegate from
each county represented A brief re-
cess was taken for the purpose of TAX
ing up the credentials. On reassem-
bling, after speeches by Stanley. B.
Roberts, Prof. Chas. Scanlon of Hen
nepin and others, Secretary Calder
wood presented the first report of the
Committee on Credentials, which was
adopted, the formality of reading the
names of delegates being dispensed
with. A Ramsey County delegate ex-
planned that the meagerness of the
number of delegates present from that
county was due to the fact that Ram
sey Prohibitionists were at that hour
in Judge Otis court, fighting for their
right to put the name of J. H. Fitz,
their candidate for Mayor, upon the
official ballot by certificate rather than
by petition, as required by the City
Clerk. The convention manifested it's
appreciation of the pluck of the Prohi-
.bitionists of the Sanity City.
On motion, the Chair appointed a
Committee on Permanent Organiza,

was adopted and Mr.. Roberts was es-
corted to the chair by B. B. Haugan
He made brief but vigorous address,
declaring that the Westminster Cate
chism and the Declaration of Inde-
pendence had made him a Prohibition
list. His address was heartily enjoyed,
as were his utterances throughout the
convention.
B. B. Haugan, A. Gabrielson, j. L
Williams of Goodhue, F. r. McManigal
of Ramsey and w. G.. Calderwood were
made a Committee on Platform and
Resolutions.
Ramsey Won Out.
At this point G. A. Fowble of Ram
sey announced that in the suit of the
Prohibitionists of St. Paul, which was
in progress during the forenoon, they
had been entirely victorious, and that
the City Clerk had been ordered by
the Court to put the name of J. fl. Fit-
our candidate for Mayor, upon the off,
cial ballot. The announcement was re-
ceived with much enthusiasm.
A Quartette of HustIers.
Four of the State Committees or
ganizers were now escorted to the
platform and introduced to the conven-
tion. They made brief speeches. These
referred to the work in their respec-
tive congressional districts and to
their own convictions on the issue
Secretary Calderwood introduced each

in which he is held by the State Com
mittee and by our workers generally
]. J. Craig, recently from Ireland, was
of Prohibition ancestry. He made a
plea for work versus wind. J. M. Elan
said he would rather be a doorkeeper
in the Prohibition party than to be
elected Governor by party which
| stands for license. H. H. Allen was
not born in Prohibition cradle. He
told how he had been led to the Pro-
hibition party. He aims to hunt up
and shake hands and talk with every
Prohibitionist in his district A. Ca
brielson said that we ought not to go
our own way and then expect God to
bless us. He came to the Prohibition
party because he saw it worked for
political righteousness. He expects to
see complete victory in state and ma
ton.
Great Britten.
Ex-State Chairman Fred E. Britten
Of Michigan made a brief but telling
address. The manager of Backbone
then presented its interests. He called

vance orders for the convention

The Young Idea Was to Set the Sem

About His Nose.

Notwithstanding the man knew how he
had come by his red nose, he was extremely
sensitive about it, and any reference to it
was resented promptly and with emphasis.
One day he was calling on some ladies when
the small boy of the family was present. The
youngster was strangely attracted by the
radiant nose, and kept watch on it from the
moment the visitor entered the room until
he had a chance to speak to his mother, re-
lates the New York Herald.
"Is it wrong to tell story, mammal" he
asked so that everybody could hear.
"Of course it is, she replied, with proper
degree of horror.
"But isn't it right to tell one just soms-
times" he persisted.
WELL" she hesitated, possibly if one is
told to spare the feelings of some person it
might be excused"
"And why does my little man ask such q
question:" inquired the gentleman very
coaxingly.

one of the most interesting men in
eastern Kansas is Solomon Moore,
white farmer ten miles north of
Leavenworth, who for 40 years has
lived with negro woman to whom
he was married 40 years ago. Moore
was union soldier in 1863 and while
on foraging expedition in Tennes-
see was observed by rebels and en-
tered house occupied by a negro
family A young negroes ordered
Moore to crawl underneath her skirt
as she was sitting in chair, and
when the rebel party entered the
house the family convinced them
that the union soldier had fled.
Moore was so grateful to the woman
that he returned to Tennessee after
the war and was married to her.

SHOWING THE WAY.

Most of our readers know all about
the aches and pains of a bad back;
very few people are free from sick
kidneys, as the kidneys are the most
overworked organs of the body and
"go wrong" at times no matter how
well the general health may be.
The trouble is so few understand the
indications of kidney trouble. You
are nervous, tired out and weary, have
stitches, twinges and twitches of back
ache pains, but lay it to other causes;
finally the annoyance and suffering at
tendant with urinary disorders, reten-
ton of the urine, too frequent urina-
ton, makes you realize the serious
ness of it. At any stage you should
take a remedy that will not only re-
lieve but cure you. Read the following
and profit by the lesson it teaches:
