President Mitchell Reads His Report
5.g to Miners WAGE Convention.

s
Indianapolis. Jan. 21.-The first
thing on the programme attthe miners
national wage convention was the
reading of John Mitchell's annual re-
port. Mr.. Mitchell received the closest
attention. He recommended the de-
mands for higher wages, and SUBJ
: stantial increase, on the grounds that
the operators are reaping rich profits;
q firm stand for a run-of-mine basis;
an advance of wages of the inside and
outside day laborers, and the estab-
'lishment OF fixed differential of Z
cents a ton on run-of-mine basis be-
tween pick and machine mining, this
differential to cover the entire COM
petitive field.
He recommended that the anthracite
strike district receive a better repre-
sentation in voting strikes in that dis
trict. He called attention to the fact
that the miners now have in their ma
tional treasury larger sum than was
ever before accumulated in the treas
ury of labor organization, and advo-
Gated letting the permanent defense
fund grow until it reaches such pro-
portions that we can cope successfully
with any emergency that arises"
The time would come, he said, when
all bituminous coal would. be mined
with machinery, and he declared there
would be little abatement in the de-
mand for coal for the next two years;
that coal for steam purposes would
bring higher prices in the future.
The anthracite strike, he declared,
was one Of the greatest struggles in
labor history. AS to the, strikes in
West Virginia and Virginia, he recon-
mended their continuance.

The police are trying to solve the

household of John A. Finch, 2340
First avenue.
Mr.. Finch has become alarmed at
the persistence of the intruders and
fears they are planning the footing
Of the premises. His report sent to
the police is that they are very sus-
picious looking. and that on Friday
night when the coachman ran them
away each of the men had bright
object in his hand that flashed under
the rays of nearby electric light.
The men have been seen about the
back door and even on the front
porch, having been frightened from
the latter position by one of the
servants.
The Finch home stands on a slight
eminence on First avenue, and is
the largest house on the avenue. The
boldness of the men is the more re-
markable because their strange ac-
tions could be seen by neighbors for
several blocks down the avenue.

HOG RAISING IN THE SOUTH.
a Southern Farmer Tells How He
Manages the Meat Question
On His Farm.

In the last few years the high price
of meat has drawn the attention of our
people to raising hogs and only in a
small way 1t has been done economic
ally and at profit. am an extreme
cotton planter, but have always given
much, attention to hogs, cattle end
grass Let the negro make all the cot
tom he can for it is all he will success
fully do on the farm Then If you are
large land owner, raise all the grain,
hay and meat you can. You can get
their labor cheaply when they are not
needed in the crop. Make them plant
almost exclusively cotton and sell
them their rations and horse feed.
Most of them want only little money
Christmas. | furnish that to them.
Give all your idle and spare time to
your stock and grass. To be a sue
cessful stock-raising and hay-farmer
you must have knowledge and that can
besccquired here only by long years Of
experience, thorough reading of our
southern magazines. You must know
what kind of grass and grains to sow
that is suitable to our climate and soil.
To raise hogs cheaply you must have
good grazing for them every day in
the year. Flant your corn next to
your summer pasture. plant ground
peas in the drill of your corn and fill
all water burrows with peas and have
your corn field as fenced For summer
pasture you must have Red Glover,
johnson grass, Mellelotus and Bermu-
fla. Mellelotus and Red Clover will
furnish you good grazing in February.
Johnson grass in March and Bermuda
an through the summer. Then peal
your corn last of September and turn
your hogs in your ground peas and
Geld peas. AS soon as they eat up one
field sow it in grain early in October.
Then put your breeding sows in your
grain fields July with their pigs. Turn
them in then till last of March; take
them OF and as soon as grain is in
the milk, put them back and let them
eat 1t up, then plant again in corn and
peas.
feed pigs in pens literally. They
are the only hogs ever fe>d corn 10.
1 sell my hogs off the pea field with
out any corn, either gross or dressed,
and sell hogs from October till April.
Get you q good breed of hogs. have
tried every breed of hogs and | pre-
fer the Berkshire hog, he is shifty,
prolific and his meat is very superior.
You want good fences and the best
and In the end the cheapest fence is
the woven wire, it costs about $50 per
mile and will last life time. 1t will
take from $4,000 to $1,000 to go into
the hos business; then from that 3d.
900. you should sell $1,000 worth Of
meat besides eating 30 or 40 shoats
year and having your own meat. But
hogs are like chickens. you must look
after them ever; day in the year,.
