One of the most profitable industries
Of the western farm today is the grow
ing of hogs. A ten-month-old pig
which now sells for over $40 will not
cost the producer over $40, if it does
that.

Dry seasons and scant crops result
in the storing of much plant food in
the fields ready for use when the rains
come and make the crop. All the so
called waste arid lands of the west are
very rich in stores of plant food and
only need a water supply to make
them very productive.

Married Men Fined SO for Staying Out
Late at Niuht,

At Uelzen, a city in the western part
OF Hanover, the authorities have Just
passed law which has met with the
warm appreciation of the women of the
place and the indignant protests of the
married men. The town was getting
altogether too convivial The old time
honored excuses of 1.-THE LODGE and
business" and sitting up with a sick
friend" were worn threadbare The
women resolved to act. They exercised
all their influence with the city fathers
and finally got a law passed requiring
that all married men be home at or be-
fore IL O'Clock every night The pen
atty for violation of this law is fixed
at fine of So for each offense. Half
or the fine goes to the person making
complaint, who, in all cases so far, has
been the wife.
BY means Of this law the homes of
UelZen are expected to be in an ideal
condition before long, and the wife's
authority therein unquestlOned. If
hubby" forgets himself and stays out
after IL o'clock some night the wife
can either have him fined and get her
share of the proceeds, or she can do
what is better-she can hold the knowl-
edge of his law-breaking over his head
as club with which to enforce obe-
dience and good behavior generally.
Needless to say, the married men of
the neighboring German towns are
much exercised over the action of the
city authorities of UelZen, for the law
Is working so well there that they are
AFRAID 1t will prove contagious and
spread to their own boroughs. The un-
married men of Uelzen of course, are
MS much pleased with the law as the
women of the town. They can now
stay out at night and enjoy themselves
free from the incubus of the old
fogies.

Guns OF the Mikasa.

The trials of the improved Elswick
gun mountings for the barbette guns
OF the japanese oattiesnip Mikasa
seem to prove that they are a long
way in advance of anything yet in use
in our navy, says the St James Ga
zette. From the after barbe.te firing
unaimed shots, the gun was on one
occasion loaded and fired in thirty sec
onds on the best previous performance.
But the most remarkable result was
achieved by the forward barbette.
which, firing aimed rounds from open
gun, got off three shots in a net period
of ninety-seven seconds. or at an av-
erage rate of one rounu in thirty-three
and one-third seconds. AS, however,
the guns crew was merely a scratch
lot, it is possible that the Mikasa will.
beat this performance in the future.
She will, at any rate, approach the
rats of two rounds per gun per min
ute, which means that from her four
12-inch guns alone she will be able to
hurl three tons of steel at an opponent
within that time.
