swine Breeding as u business.

If one is going into swine breeding
,or n continuous industry, he can then
well afford to start out with the best
bred animals he can afford, and by an
intelligent system of selection and
breeding, he will in time grade up his
lock to a standard OF excellence which
lis neighbor cannot equal except at
great cost. When man starts in
each year or two to purchase new
breeds and hlgh-bred swine, it is n
,ostly experience, and he hardly reaps
much reward from ii. There Is quite
/ difference, however, when he deliber-
itely adds each year little new blood
o his stock, increasing the quality as
we'll as the quantity. The outlay is
hus sm9ll each season for pure bred
inimals, and the returns correspond
ngly good.

Among the Railroads.

It has been some time past been report
ed that on and after January 1, 1909. rail-
road freight rates would be increased
generally, either directly or by changes
of classification. This, according to the
New York Journal of Commerce, which
has had access to the new classification
schedule, is not to be the case. Com
parison of new with old rates shows that
are changes, but some of them are reduc-
tons, and there are. it seems, no large
advances. There are in ALL" says the
Journal, some 200 changes; some of these
will impose slight increase in freight
rates, while many show actual reductions.
BY far the greater part of the changes
made consist of fixing a minimum weight
on which a carload rate will be allowed.
or in increasing or reducing the mini
mum weight already established on GER
tain kinds OF shipments. Not few
changes leave the classification undis-
turbed, but impose new conditions-look-
ing to safe carriage-as to how the mer-
chandise is to be packed, quantity, dimen-
sions, containers, etc., In order to enjoy
the same rating as under the present
classification. There are also many en-
tirely new ratings"
There is serious consideration on the
part of government authorities towards
discipling the Southern Railway in regard
to the handling of United States mails.
1t is claimed by the postoffice authori-
ties that the railway is not using all
means to push mail trains throuh. The
Southern receives a bonus to handle the
mails on time but it is far from earning
it now 1t is regular thing for mails
to be three or four hours late these days.

mated was reported to be due to buying

offered as corroborative evidence of ru-
mors of an agreement to end the copper
