Boyd df Spokane will endeaeor to
have the salaries of plain clothes men
on the police department raised to the
amount received by a sergeant OF

By this plan the mayor expects to

which are thrown in tho way of the
detectives. He said yesterday that
he had advocated this plan for some-
time and thought IL it could go
through no rumors of corruption
would ever reach the department
Temptations are continually thrown

Another scheme Of Mayor Boyd's

that is to take a few uniformed men
and put them in plain clothes. In
this way the mayor thinks many "un-

RATE IS NOT
SATISFACTORY

The railroads have issued a circu-
lar relative to shipments of freight
to the st. Louis exposition. The COM
panies agree to return all freight
free in case shipments are made
within 80 days after the close of the
fair. The freight is to be collected
at designated points and rate Of 60
cents a hundred will be charged for
carload shipments. In mixed ship
ments the highest rate for any ar
ticle in the car will be charged. Ter
minal switching charges must be paid
by the consignors.
The rate does not meet with the
approval of the management OF the
state exhibits. A great deal OF the
freight from this state will not be re-
turned and the present rate for one
way is only 81 cents hundred. The
freight on the exhibits from this
state will amount to about $4,000.

FEEDING FOR SWEET HAMS.
How an Illinois Farmer Produces
Pork That Is Sweet, Wholesome
and Healthful.

A northwestern gentleman visiting an
Illinois farmer who killed and cured his
own meat was SO captured by the SUI
perior aroma and flavor Of the ham
served at the farmers table that he was
led to inquire his method Of feeding,
which was given as follows:
THE ration is simple. 1t consists Of
corn. either shelled or on the cob,
whichever is the most convenient, and
when conditions permit. the corn Is al
ways soaked In addition to the corn he
gave plentiful supply Of swill, made by
adding 25 pounds OF linseed cake (oil-
meaD to the barrel Of water"
He stated that he had fed hogs in this
way for rs years. They took on flesh
faster, we're always healthy, and had
never had case of hog cholera. He
was surprised at the simplicity of ~
method and the cause of the excellence
the hog meat II this method were
universally followed venison and fowl
would be discarded. and the meat Of the
once despised hog would soon become a
delicacy more frequently seen on every
table in the land. It Is self-evident
that the reason for hog meat being un-
der the ban In olden times was the fact
that hogs were scavengers by compul-
sion. Driven to eat the most repulsive
garbage to sustain life, their meat was
affected thereby, and their meat was NO
doubt unclean.-Midland Farmer.

He Will Study the Demands Of the
Markets and Conduct His Busi-
ness Accordingly.

Farmers who buy cattle feeders should
be well posted upon the market demands
and the best type of cattle to buy for feed
ers. or they should breed their own cat
tie on the farm of the high grade beet
type Mr. Allen Mansfield, Harris Kan,
tells the Drovers' Telegram that there
will be great change in the cattle feed
ing industry, which he Is going to fol-
low and which he thinks will prove prof
table to the feeders who study the wants
OF the packers and consumers Of beef.
The cattle feeder who has been watching
the trade during the past few years has
discovered that the day of long feeding
Is past, and that the cattle feeding in
dustry has changed. am not an adj
vocate of short feeding such as the 60
to 90-day feed such as is now being
practiced by so many feeders for be-
lieve that the man who feeds that
length of time simply loses his corn.
But this thing of feeding cattle year
or more is out of date and is a losing
game all the way through. no matter
what the market Is.
A close observer can see that the high
grade steer that has been fed up sys-
tematically for six or seven months. and
which weighs about $50 to 400 pounds.
is the class Of cattle that sell more
readily than the 1.70O-pound steers that
have fed on feed year The feeder
must study his line of business, and do
the work Systematically, too, as the hap
hazard feeder cannot expect good re-
suits. The great trouble with most OF
the cattle coming to the market at the
present time is that they have been
warmed up and are not fit to be market
ed for butchering purposes, and they
are little too sappy to sell as feeders to
take back into the country. So In this
case the feeder lost his corn. This class
Of steers ought to have been sold before
they were fed as stockers or feeders, or
finished up SO they would bring price
that would make them more profitable.

Room for the Litters.

A swine breeder says that In raising

This may be demanding little too
much. but It may be that the best re-
suits can be attained only In this way.
II one cannot give q separate lot to each
SOW, he can at least give separate
house. Fortunately a hog house need
not cost much. Some Of our experiment
