mentioned 'singeing' he permitted his close

FARMER AND PLANTER
RAISE MORE HOGS.
The American Farmer Should Raise
More Hogs Than He is Do
ing at Present.

American farmers should raise more
hogs than they are raising at present
The great deficiency in swine in the
United States is not a condition ealcu-
lated to be for the good of the people.
With increased population there should
be marked increase in the number Of
swine raised. In the past the hog has
been one of the great sources of cheap
meat. This cheap meat has been
found In the homes of the poor as well
as the rich. Moreover it has been a
staple article of diet ON the farm.
Much as it has been maligned, it has
been a healthful and nutritious food.
Instead of hogs increasing with the
population there has been a decrease.
The result has been high prices, to the
detriment of the consumer and indi-
rectly to The producer. The consumer
is feeling the deficiency now and the
producer will feel 1t later, when we
have a financial depression, for the
reason that the farmer is dependent on
the prosperity of the cities for his own
prosperity, as well as vice versa. What
ever affects one class of citizens will
affect other classes. The limited sup
ply of hogs has lessened the demand for
labor in handling them. This is not
felt at this time, for the reason that
commerce in using all the labor 1t can
get. But in the time to come it will
make a great difference to all of us
whether there is large or small vol
ume of hogs to handle. Increase the
supply of hogs so per cent and we in
crease the labor demands for handling
them. In time of depression this will
mean employment for thousands who
would otherwise be idle
Let no man think that there is as
much profit to community in supply
ing a small quantity of products at a
high price as in supplying a large
quantity of products at a comparative
ly low price. A large volume of all
things means prosperity. Money is not
wealth. but only, means Of exchang
ing wealth. Famine means poverty
and distress, no matter how high the
prices may be. An agricultural COM
munity becomes rich by reason of the
very large volume of products it can
turn out. Many a money panic has
been stayed by bounteous crops, and
waited by poor crops.
II IS d patriotic uuIy ldEnSTS owe Tue

will be a pity if the time comes when

as is said even now to be the case in
some parts of the world. The hog is

Two litters a year make it possible to |

single season. The brood sows should |
be given more prominence on the farm |
than at the present time. We can not |
do too much to increase the swine sup
ply. Instead of 10000 900 hogs in the
country, as shown by the January re-
port of the department of agriculture
we should now have over 10000 900 to
keep up with the ever increasing popu

OUR GREATEST CORN RIVAL.
Argentina Seems Destined to Be
come Our Greatest Rival In
the Raising of Corn.

Corn is king of American crops. It's
yearly value is much greater than that
of any other. 1t seems also more Sc
cure against rivalry than any other.
Canada, Russia and other lands
compete with us in wheat. Com
petitors in cotton are growing in many
places at an ominous rate. But the
United States has seemed to have pret-
ty nearly a monopoly of corn grow
ing. In this industry, however, a rival
is also arising which may before long
be developed into great proportions.
That rival is Argentina, a country
which for more reasons than one might
we'll be regarded as the United States
of South America. 1t is only about
two-fifths as large as the United States,
and has only one-fifteenth It's popu-
lation. But its soil is Wondrously fer
tile and it's climate genial, and it is
growing in population and in the arts
of civilization at gratifying pace. It's
production of cattle and sheep, of
hides and wool, of linseed and various
other things is well-known to be great
1t is to be remarked that it is also
becoming a great producer of corn, for
which crop its soil and climate seems
to be particularly well suited. The last
years crop of corn is reported to have
covered 1900, 900 acres, and to have
measured 130,600.0 900 bushels. That is,
of course. very much less than cur 94,A
600, 900 acres and 2,523, 600. 600 bushels.
Yet approximately TO the population
of the country, it is a ereditable show
ing. Moreover, it is to be observed
that the Argentines get more than
thirty bushels from an acre, and get
a dollar of their currency, or III cents
gold, a bushel for it. making a yield
of $500 an acre, while we, with our
boasted higher civilization. are con-
tent with 27 bushels to the acre. which.
at 40 cents a bushel, means yield of
only S10S0 an acre.
There is no occasion to get scared
at the specter of Argentine competi-
ton in the corn market. Yet it is evil
dent that Argentina is destined before
long to be SO considerable a producer
OF that crop as to cut figure in the |
markets of the world, and probably to |
rank as rival of the United States

ABOUT MINES
AND MINERS
First and Second Hand News of
An Important Nevada
Industry

Negotiations are being carried on
which may result in considerable de-
velopment work being done on Pump
kin Hollow properties this summer.
There are indications of better
times for the old camp of Cherry creek
in White Pine county, where the con-
%struction Of a twenty-stamp mill will
Don be commenced.
1t is said that early this season the
Ierington-Logan copper mine near
the Brunswick will be disposed Of to
an eastern mining organization which
will develop the property and erect a
5melter plant on the ground. This
mine has already been developed suf-
ficently to demonstrate it's worth, and
is undoubtedly destined to become a
bis property.
The Wilson group of mines in Pine
Grove yesterday passed into the hands
OF Doc Hudgens and H. c.. Cutting.
Nh. Hudgens, after contemplating the
transaction, came to Reno and will
go on to California. The property
was bonded for SCI, 200 and on the pay
ment of the balance yesterday the
deed was transferred. The Wilson
mine has been a great producer. It's
record is over five million dollars.
Messrs. Hudgens and Cutting don't for
d moment believe that the mine has
been anywhere near worked out. They
will incorporate a company and work
the property in scientific shape. The
gold from the Wilson mine is the
richest in the State.-Journal.

The new series of two cents stamps
now in preparation will have the
American flag as one of its designs,
supplanting the photograph of Wash

stamp that has become very important
is the Private Die Stamp placed over
the neck of each bottle of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, as a preventative
against INSCRIPTIONS dealers palming
off counterfeit remedies for the genu-
inc, claiming that they are lust as
good as Hostetters." Don't accept any
