contemplates the erection of a modern
sty, free from the Objectionable fea-
lures of such structures.
The theory holds that the pigs
fondness for mud baths comes from a
desire to rid itself of the heat contain
ed in the body by the layers OF fat
under the thick hide. The hogs in
modern style will not be allowed to
wallow at will, but will be cooled off
by shower bath in one corner of the
structure. 1t is believed that by pro-
viding animals with sanitary abodes:
giving them cooling baths and feeding
Them on clean food the instincts in
culcated in the animals by genera
tions of inattention can be eradicated.
The object of the plan is to secure
breed of pigs with clean pink skins,
shiny, well-kept bristles. good charac-
tiers and amiable dispositions.

IMMIGRANT RUSH WESTWARD
Minnesota and Dakotas Gaining
Scores of Thousands.

For month past there has been a
constant flow of settlers into the north"
west. and there is no sign OF diminu-
ton in the number or size OF crowds
pouring into that section. On one day
-Thursday-whlch was a record
maker-about 1900 persons passed
through Minneap oils en- route to new
homes which they will take up in
the Dakotas, Montan Idaho and the
states of the Pacific northwest.
These immigrants take with them
complete stocks of household goods
and farm equipment. One road alone,
Great Northern, reports that since
the spring immigration began it has
handled l,146 carloads of goods for
settlers and 254 carloads of stock.
The number of new citizens which
Minnesota and North and South Da-
kota will receive from this influx is
estimated at 100000, and the land
agents and railroad officials say that
within the next decade the population
of these states will be increased by
million people.

UNIQUE SITUATION IN THE TOWN OF PELHAM.

gardless of the fact that the county
was ''dry." The last legislature re-
pealed the act creating the county
commissioners, body corporate under
the name of the "dispeDsary commits
sioners for the county of MITCHELL
The repeating of the act authorizing
the dispeDsary system would seem to,
make the county and towns in the
county hopelessly ''dry" until another
election. But the city council of
Pelham, acting under the advice of
counsel, made an ordinance creating
a dispensary system for the town of
Pelham, under which dispensary is
now being operated. A legal fight is
now being made against the institu-
ton. however, and its future is very
uncertain.

THE MORPHINE HABIT.
64O, 200 Bottles of 1t Sold Yearly
in One Small City.

In the current number of Leslie's
Weekly there is an article on the
morphine habit, the purpose of it
being TO point out that there is cure
for it. Ia the course of this article it
is stated that only physicians, scient-
lists and druggists realize how great
the use of morphine has become. AS
an illustration it is stated that in one
city OF this country, having popula-
tion of about 100000, as much as 3d.
900 ounces of morphine are consumed
every year. The drug is usually sold
in bottles containing an eighth of an
ounce. Therefore in that compare
lively small city the people use 640.-
900 bottles of morphine every year, or
more than six bottles to every inhabi-
tant.
1t may be that this is an exceptional
city, but there is no particular reason
in all probability to think 1t is. If the
use is as general in most other cities
of the country we are on the road TO
becoming a nation of morphine

A series of experiments will soon be
conducted under the direction of the
department of agriculture looking to
the collection of data and the secur-
ing of knowledge which will make
possible the breeding of clean pigs.
One of the professors of the depart
ment believes with other high author
tiles that the pig is not hereditarily
and inherently an unclean animal, and
holds that it is simply the victim of
circumstances and environment. IL is
proposed by intoxicating the principles
of sanitation in succeeding genera
lions of pigs to finally secure an ami
NAL which, while resembling the pork
er of today in query essential parti-
cular, will have none of the objection
able habits now attributed to him.
II is held by the professor that,
owing to the stigma under which the
pig now rests, due partly to the Bibli-
cal tradition that the body of the
swine in ancient days was considered a
favorite place in which to confne ex-
orcisesl devils and evil spirits, the
animal is placed in most unsanitary
habitations, given as food everything
that's unclean and held in contempt
as one of the lowest beasts of the anil
NAL kingdom, and that he has entirely
lost his self-respect and lives in sloth
