Modern Pork Production.

In an interesting paper on the above'
subject before the Iowa Swine Breed
ers' association, Prof. c. +. Curtiss said
that no other domestic animal is cap
able of converting the foodstuffs of the
farm into finished meat products so
economically as the hog. This ability
has won for him the well-deserved APP
pellation of "mortgage-lifter." The
modern hog is capable of making from
IL to Is pounds of pork from one bushel
of corn, the choice parts of which
are worth from 20 to 80 cents perpound.
retail. Owing to its nature, the hog is
very sensitive to climatic changes, and
this should be recognized in it's treat
ment. Under domestication the d.
gestive organs of the hog have been
enlarged, which. in turn, gives greater
capacity as well as depth and length
of body. The increased digestive ca
pacity gives earlier maturity and a
greater propensity to fatten.

Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to
the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the
Treatment of Humours of the
Blood, Skin and Scalp.

II wish to give my testimony to
the efficiency of the Cuticura Rene
dies in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. l had a
number of skin tumours- small
ones my arms which had never
given me serious trouble but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as a pinhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than a bean.
A little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
a day or two it was as large as
half an orange. 1 was very much
alarmed, and was at a loss to de-
termine whether it was a carbuncle
or a malignant tumor.

There are two advantages in green

The range of difference in prices in

somtimes been as high as $3.50 per hum

only explanation that a be made of

vent membcls from demanding u
higher price or from holding out
for better figures.
cit will be suggested, Mr..
Vincent says, "that wheat be
fixed at 81 bushel ON the Chicago
market, corn at 90 cents and oats
at 35 cents. In order to Get at
the price to be demanded on the
farm the producer will deduct the
transportation charges to Chicago.
''Self-interest will dictate that u
man shall hold out for his price
If all hold firm they will all get
what they demand. The world
must have the farmers wheat and
corn, and most of the farmers have
enough capital to enable them to
hold out for the rise they can force.
"We are paying too much now
to the commission men and the
railroads. The elevator men grow
rich fast, while the farmer accu-
mulates money slowly. The rail-
roads water their stock yearly
and tack on few more cents for
hauling a bushel of farm produce.
We want some of that money.
ave propose to bring the pro-
ducer and consumer closer together
If we are the basis of prosperity
which the economists concede,
then the more prosperous we are
the richer will grow the country.
It's big proposition, but it can be
handled.
"What are our plans? To build
elevators and storeage warehouses
in the great centers, where we can
hold our products until the scar
city forces higher prices; to COM
pei the railroads, through the con-
troll we will have of foodstuffs, to
reduce their rates; to stop the
adulteration of food products and
to encourage everything that tends
to make farming more profitable
and pleasant, such as irrigation,
good roads, colleges and the like.
We propose to do away with the
lawyer by adopting rules that COM
pei arbitration of difficulties rather
than resort to litigation"
The social features of the Alli-
ance are part of this new plan, and
it is also made plain that the farm
ers will seek to secure legislat on
in their interests.
Here and there in the west now
exist combinations of farmers to
control locel markets. In Kan
sas and Nebraska and also North
western Missouri neighborhoods
have been closely, organized. The
farmers have built elevators and
have thus driven grain men out OF
business.
The national plan is simply an
enlargement of this idea. A nation
al organization, however, is likely
to require the assistance of a pol
itical party, and it is not at all
likely that new party will be
launched Moscow Star.

road may be extended from there
in the future, but for the present

Politicians Do Not Deny That
There'll Be "Big Doings.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The big
Republican victory IN Ohio has
caused much significant comment
here and many prominent poIiti-
clans are discussing how it will
affect Roosevelt. Leaders of
both parties do not deny the
statement that some high politics
will be played in Congress this
winter. Hanna has shown his
power, and since he is not to be
chairman of the Republican exec
utive committee, there is nothing
to keep him from running for
president. In view of this is
heAea the statement on all sides
that it will be impossible for
Roosevelt to control the southern
delegations in the next national
convention, and MANY things may
be expected.
