ABOUT HOGS.
Pounds Of Gain on Hogs Per Bushel
of Corn.


IOAA SbihAoh ANhoA WIN
A correspondent Of KoSsuth coun-
ty, Iowa, gives the following report Of
feeding hogs In Waudee's Farmer:
"Seelng In your paper last spring a
statement that the best gains that
farmers were making In feeding corn
to hogs we're ten pounds per bushel
and that most Of them were not maxi
ing over eight, l concluded to ascer-
tain what mine were doing. l was
feeding sixty head Of Poland-Chinas
for market. / therefore weighed the
hogs and weighed the corn in the ear,
taking seventy pounds to the bushel,
and fed 1T on the ground for one week.
The hogs made gain Of thirteen and
one-half pounds to the bushel Of corn
which l thought was good enough"
Our correspondent in the same let
ter tells us that when he shelled his
seed corn he had 1888 pounds Of corn
from 2s pounds Of cobs. This is 1914
per cent, showing one-half pounds to
the bushel of corn, or nearly 62 pounds
to the bushel of 10 pounds.
His hogs must have been OF very
good quality and in the highest condi-
tion of thrift. This, however, only
shows what can be done with first
class care.
We are satisfied that from ten to
twenty-five per cent. of the feeding
value Of corn is usually wasted be-
cause of lack of proper care in feed
ing. 1t is important that the age and
weight should be given, for it is
well established law that the older
and larger the hog the less pounds Of
gain can be made per hundred pounds
az gain.

THE people Of Mexico, as well as
those Of any other community. are in
favor Of the enforcement of law and
order. There should be no contention
among the citizens and members OF
the city government in reference to this
point. 1t is the sworn duty Of every
city official to enforce the law as be
finds 1t. II there are ordinances which
are obnoxious to the people they should
be repealed No city can flourish when
there is "bickering' going on in ref
erence to its government. The city
officials should do their duty honestly
and frankly, and should have the cor.
dial support of every citizen. Oi
course in every community there are 9
few who desire 10 break the law, while
there are also some who think laws
should be enforced that are not in ex
istence. Nothing tends more to tbs
prosperity of a city than to have II
well governed; and to have outsiders
know that the people are In cordia
sympathy with the administration.

HOT SHOT FOR CLEVELAND.
BRYAN Resents Attack From the For
mer President and Saye He is
Hand in Glove With Trusts.

OMAHA, NEB., Dec. 4. Grover
Cleveland's attack on W. ]. Bryan as
published In the New York World, has
stirred the wrath OF the silver lesaer
and the Commoner tomorrow will con
tain warm editorial In reply thereto.
After saying that he has nothing
personal against Cleveland, Bryan in
Inmates very strongly that Cleveland's
enthusiasm for the Democratic party
rises and falls with the stock ticker
quotations. He declares that Cleve-
land is the only man shameless enough
to eyince such interest in the quota
tions and also pose as a leader of the
party. Bryan charges that instead OF
trying to control the trusts, Cleveland
has been hand In glove with those or
ganizatlons since 1885 and inslnuate'
very strongly that he was "in" ON the
great railroad merger and made agooc
thing out of the rise Of Northern Pa
ciiic when it made such sensational
advance last spring
The editorial also states that /
Cleveland would take the people int
his confidence in relation TO his trus
and stock deals they would understand

REV. TIP" HOOK
On Transferring From the Devil to
the Lord"

A good anecdote coming lately with
10 ear shot Of the LEDG ER occurred
when Elder w. II. Hook began the
ministry back in the seventies:
Tip" familiarly known by all Of
his friends, was "one Of the boys, " and
prior to his conversion had enjoyed a
foot race or a horse race as well as any
Of them.
At one Of his early sermons near the
home of the young divine on Littleby
Greek he preached particularly against
the sins Of horse racing and all forms
Of betting, to an audience composed
largely OF bis old associates.
When, at the close OF the sermon,
the hat was passed the contributions
were quite disappointing to the hopes
Of gaining a livlihood in the ministry
and this disappointment was shared
by the young minister's old friends,
When "meetin' had broke up one
of the old associates, proposing to
show of in the presence of the crowd,
and not thinking the young preacher
would have money earned other than
by the "Sweat of the face" approach
ed and rendered him a bill, saying
"Wel, Tip, the hat pickin' was kinder
slim tonight, but here is a tive-dollar
bill | won ON a horse race the other
day. don't reckon you'd have money
got that way now, but as an old friend
I'd like TO help you out a little. "
"Tip" slowly reached for the bill as
| if to examine to see if it was tainted
with too much worldliness and when
he got it into mis- had, proceeded tt
deposit it in his vest pocket with the
remark: "Strother, that's right, take
| from the devil and give to the Lord
| After that Strother was satisfied Il
drop his contributions into the bat II
the regular way.
