FAIR PROFIT IN PORK.
Hogs Will Command a Reasonably
High Price for Some Little
Time to Come.

Prices III the hog market have been
what may be called firm for good
many months. That they are to re-
main so il indicated to some extent
by the anxiety shown by the packers
who are doing all possible to stimulate
hog raising. The recent high prices
have resulted in the marketing of a
good many light hogs. In some Of the
Chicago markets q good many light
pork loins are being sold, some of the
loins weighing about five pounds
each, less thas half the usual. The
pigs were evidently marketed because
their owners feared drop in prices,
but this very process is most likely to
prevent a drop in prices by decreasing
the supply of mature hogs. We do not
mean to say that the prices are to
stay at the present point. That would
be absurd. The market must and will
change in response to the multitudious
influences that are always affecting it,
But the prices of hogs viii for a long
time at least remain high enough to
permit Of the wise feeder and judicious
marketer making a profit on his invest
ment as well is to get pay for his work.
There are few farmers that raise too
many hogs. It is more usual for him
not TO raise as many hogs rs would
yield him a profit. The men that have
been raising hogs for years and have
Kept at it through bad times and good |
are now making money out CT their te-
nac1tS. There is money in pork, but
me farmer that goes into hog raising
n good times and out OF hog raising in |
bad times is likely to miss it.-Far1n-

Best for Lame Harsaa

An error which is frequently corn.
mitted is the turning out Of lame
horses to pasture. He is obliged to
exercise as he picks his living, said DR..
W. c. Fair, before the American Vet
Urinary Medical assccia ton. Another
mistake is the exercising of trotting
and running horses On race tracks.
thus preventing them from making sat
isfactory progress toward recovery.
By exercising lame horse we retard
his~recovery, and frequently produce
atrophy of the healthy muscles in the
same limb. If hard pulling or fast
driving causes lameness, why not re-
move the cause and give him absolute
rest? That is the very reason why SO
many track horses never fully recover.
They are not allowed to rest after
meeting with. an injury True, exer.
else will develop muscles, tendons and
ligaments, provided the animal be not
lame and weak in any one quarter.

CORN STALK DISEASE.
Caused by FEATURING Cattle in Stalk
Fields Late in Fall or Early
i'm Winter.

a This term is applied to disease oc-
casioned by pasturing cattle in stalk
fields Late in fall or early winter. An
outbreak, if one should occur, usually
takes place in from two to fourteen
days after the animals are turned upon
the stalks. The great majority OF
cases occur between the fifth and
eighth days. It is also observed that
all animals affected die within two or
three days of each other. There is
nothing in the appearance of the fod-
der to indicate that it may cause
trouble. Cattle may Craze and do well
on one field, and from ten to fifty per
cent. be lost on another separated only
by a fence. It makes no difference
whether the cattle are allowed to Craze
for only a few hours Or left in all day.
After one outbreak has occurred sec
ond rarely follows. The disease has
never been reported from feeding cut
fodder, even when taken from. the
same field as that in which disease has
occurred from grazing. The cause has
never been determined, but it is most
often observed after dry season.
The general symptoms are that the
animal appears dull, persists in stand
ing in one place, or if he moves it is
with noticeably jerky gait. There is
marked prostration; the animal will
fall on the knees, and may require sew
eral attempts to rise. Some act as if
crazy, but the majority are stupid.
There is more or less frothing at the
and almost constant swinging
Of the head from side to side whether
in the standing position or lying down.
The movements are indica tive of pain.
The course is of very short durat ton,
from two to thirty hours, the majority
living less than six hours. Too often
the history is that the cattle were all
right in the evening, and from one to
eight found dead in the morning. AS
the cause is not known, and success
full trea tment has not been discovered,
the prevention cannot be prescribed
except by using cut fodder. In a num-
Der of outbreaks of supposed black
leg, DR.. Craig, assistant state veteri-
marian of Indiana, has found this to be
present instead. The disease is not |
and cannot be spread from |
,ne to another. The occurrence of a |
few cases in a community should not |
=righten others to discard the use of |
he stalk field for feeding.-Agricul- |

Singular Florida Town.

/ selected.
The existence oil singular town IL
brought to notice by the introduction
OF Senator Mallory of Florida OF bill
to provide public schools, one fo1
| white, the other for co!ored, children
in the town Of Warrington, Fla. The
reference Of the bill to tie Secretary oil
the Navy tor his opinion on its merits
Is apparently unusual and unnecessary
out 1t is really highly proper, as the
iacts about Warrington show.
AT the close Of tl.e Civil War TIE
business OF the navy yard at Pensacola
wa considerable, AID the number OF
employees was large. Many of the per-
sons working in the yard "squatted :"
upon the uncccup:el land comprised
within the naval reservation, and OBJ
tanned permission from the department
to build homes thereon. The number
OF home builders increased even after
the temporary activity OF the navy
yard was succeeded by the lethargy
that came over tho navy and lasted
for nearly twenty years. In time, the
group of houses assumed proportions
OF town then it took a name, and
became Warrington. The Postoffice
Department recognized its rights, gave
it postoffice, which later it made a
money order office, and now the town
has some 300 houses, six churches,
stores AID population of more
than LOO persons.
The commander OF the Pensacola
navy yard rules the town the inhabl-
tants pay no taxes, and have no votes.
The place Is kept in order by the cap
tain OF the ward, and "policed" as the
rest Of the naval reservation is. The
bureau OF yards and docks installed |
and maintained the electric lights and
The sewer system. though very few of |
he inhabitants ale employed by the |
By far a greater part OF |
hose who thus enjoy the natons care
ire engaged in fishing or in farming
'or living.
Now Senator Mallory thinks that in
addition to providing light, clean
|traets and sanitation of the most i'm
proved type, the government should
llso provide schools for the children
# the untaxed dwellers in WARRINGTON.
md accordingly introduced his bill.

The Easiest to Advance

There is one point in favor of the
man who feeds sheep and lambs this
winter-his stock is cheap to start
with. 1t is hard to advance the price
OF cattle and hogs when they sell
around $6 per hundred weight, much
harder than to put dollar per hum
dred weight onto the price of stock
that starts at $3.50 per hundred
weight. The prospects are that fat
sheep and lambs will show more adj
vance per hundred weight than cattle
or hogs. But whether they will ma Ike
more money is question. Fat sheen
are not much above the price of feed
ers, whereas fat cattle are consider
lbly above the price of feeders,-Na-
