The other day l overheard a
merchant and a farmer talking.
over the advantages and disad-
vantages of their respective occu-
pations. The young farmer sale
that while he had done -"well
enough" in the several years
since he began farming he had
lost quite a lot of stuff, some hogs
and other stock, and there always
seemed to .be something to cut
down the profit. Then spoke the
merchant on this wise: Young
man, you say you have been do,
ing well enough since you began
for yourself some years ago.
Now in view of my own expert
encc as a farmer and a merchant,
l will tell you what l would do.
l would stick to the farm and
keep right on doing we'll enough
for several years more. You are
leading an independent life. II
some fellow comes around and
goes to ripping you up the back,
you can kick him off the place
and go on with your work in your
own way and its nobody's bust
ness but your own, With me it
is entirely different, If a man
with a real or imaginary griev-
ance comes in and talks to me,
I've just got to smile and take it
and keep my mouth shut or the
chances are l will lose his trade.
You see lam dependant, and my
advice would be to stick to farm

dependence. When I was a boy
we did not buy lamps, oil or
matches. We used flint and
steel and tallow candles, 1 was
IL years old when my mother
bought her first cook stove; had
no organ, machine or buggy. We
paid cash for what we bought,
thought times were good, did not
grumole about hard times. How
is it now? Do people buy on time
buggies, organs, machines and
many other things they could do
without and pay nearly double
their value? We all like to have
such things and should have
them when we have the cash to

The industrious young man who

time while young he may do
without them when old.

Hog Raising in Texas.

Texas has never figured very
extensively IN the aggregate
production Of either corn or hogs.
The largest portion of the agri-
cultural area of this state has
ueen devoted to. cotton, wheat
and oats, with corn a third or
fourth place. For this reason, it
is claimed by many stockmen
that hogs will not be raised in
great numbers until the acreage
of corn is increased to an extent
that will justify it. Texas has a
wonderful future as a hog pro-
duciug state, but the farmers
must get away from the idea that
corn is the only desirable feed.
Grow rape, alfalfa, soy beans,
kafir corn, milo maize and
,ther crops to feed with corn.
Recent meetings of hogmen
nave been the means of working
a revolution in feeding methods
IN the corn belt. Prominent
feeders have told of their ex-
perience in feeding a balanced
ration. One feeder, a we'll known
man In Indiana, stated that he
had never been able to make a
gain of more than ten pounds for
each bushel of corn fed when it
was used exclusively as a fatten-
ing ration, but by feeding rape
md soy beans in connection with
the corn had frequently made a
gain of sixteen pounds with the
bushel of corn. He paid SIS cts.
a bushel for corn, and the rape
and soy beans to balance the
corn cost about IS cents. ANY
intelligent farmer will readily
observe that the profit is in the
balanced ration.
Texas farmers who have been
discouraging the production of
hogs have had their eyes opened
recently by the success of stock
men in counties where no corn is

ENORMOUS DAMAGE TO PROPERTY

Water of the Sound Driven Over the
Low Portion of Copenhagen
Boats and Sailors Lost.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 26.-The worst gale
of many years visited Denmark Christmas
night and this morning and has done enor-
nous damage to property and shipping.
The telegraphic and railroad services have
been interrupted and delayed. 1t is unsafe
to walk the streets of Copenhagen owing
to falling tiles, etc. Some streets were
closed to traffic to avert this danger. The
hospital reports show that several persons
were killed and many suffered injuries in
the city. The pillars holding up the aver
head trolley lines were blown down and
the street-car service was stopped Many
houses have been unroofed and some mills
and factories have been partly destroyed.
The water in the sound rose suddenly
nearly as high as it did in the great flood
of 1872 Several ships dragged their anchors
and collided or were sunk in the outer
harbor. The ferry service between the
Danish islands and Sweden has been forced

kilograms received here from the prov
inces report enormous damage TO property
throughout Denmark. Many houses have
been unroOfed and some mills and factories
have been wrecked off Elsinore and eight
persons were drowned. Eleven men of the
crew. including Captain Tobiasen, were
drowned in the wreck of the Norwegian
bark G.. s. Penry, which went ashore at
Scaw. The Penry will be a total wreck and

DIR. BELLS EXPERIMENTS.
Trying to Solve the Flying Problem
with n Large Kite.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-Dr. Alexander
Graham Bell, who has just returned TO
Washington from his summer home in
Cape Breton island, tonight made the fol-
lowing statement in connection with re-
ports that have appeared in the public
prints that he has invented a flying ma
chine:
THE newspapers have been premature
in announcing that / have been at work
upon flying machine / have not any fly
ing machine at all and have not been try
ing 10 make one. l am, of course, interest
ed In the problem, and have come to the
conclusion that a properly-constructed fly
ing machine should be capable of being
flown a kite If anchored to the ground,
and that conversely a properly-constructed
kite should be capable of use as flying
machine IL provided with suitable means of
propulsion. My experiments have had as
their object the building of kite of solid
construction capable of carrying up in a
moderate breeze weight equivalent to
that of a man and engine, and so formed
that IL could be suitable for use as the body
of a flying machine and with supporting g
surfaces so arranged that when the kite is
cut loose il will come down gently and
steadily and land uninjured. / have sue
cessfully accomplished this, but do not
care at the present time to make public
details of construction

view, President Roosevelt has acted wisely
