The Fecundity of Swine.

There are many farmers who ad-
mIre the SmOOUh, typey specimens OF
me pure DreeuS winch their neigh
uors exhibit at the fairs each fall,
ana VINO, perhaps, may be ready TO
concede the fact that more gain can
De goJCen from given amount OF
Ieed with a pure bred animal than
with a grade or scrub, yet who are
still of the opinion that they cannot
afford to keep pure bred hogs. A
very common reason for this, says the
Michigan Farmer, is the popular i'm
preston that the pure bred lndlVldu-
ais are less prolific than the high
grade crosses from them, in which
there is a vein of native or mon
grel blood. However, it would seem
that there is nothing in this conten-
ton, since the most carefully con-
Quoted experiments which have been
made with a view to determining
whether the fecundity of swine de-
creased as the purity Of the breed
was increased do not bear out the
theory. This question was investi-
gated thoroughly at the Indiana sta
ton by a series of actual compari-
sons and by the complication OF re-
suits from the record books of the diff
ferent pure breeds, taking the first
and last 100 filters recorded in each
record The popular opinion to which
we have referred was not confirmed
by this investigation. 1t was found
that while there seemed to be re-
duction in the proportionate number
of very large filters, the total num-
Der of pigs narrowed was about the
same in each period for which the
comparison was made.
If these conclusions are correct the
farmer who recognizes the advant-
ages of pure bred swine need not
fear to invest in them on this account.
In fact their tendecy to average more
even filters is in their favor, since
the farmer may calculate upon a more
even pig crop each year. 1t costs less
accordingly to start herd of good

Alfalfa Meal

When, about a year ago, mention
was made of alfalfa meal the general
public regarded the idea as a sort of
within of the Yankee who first an
noupced the manufacture of the meal.
Since then, however, both scientific
and practical men have investigated
and experimental with the subject
until alfalfa meal is now being used
by numerous stock feeders in Nebras-
ka and Kansas. 1t has been definitely
determined that alfalfa meal manu-
featured from hay that has been prop
erly matured and cured at the right
stage of growth contains practically
as much protein or blOod-making ma
terial as wheat bran.
In addition, the alfalfa meal may
be ground not quite so fine as the
bran, thus making it a better single
ration.
We believe that the manufacturing
of alfalfa meal is a good one for all
feeders, dairymen and teamsters in
the mountain country. The idea seems
to appeal especially to those who are
teaming in the mountains. Great en-
ergy and expense are wasted in trans
porting bulky hay to the mining
camps The same amount of proven
der in the form of alfalfa meal
could be handled at less cost and
trouble. The dairyman, too, is often
so situated as to be unable to obtain

LIVE STOCK
Roundup Notice

10 All Live Stock Outfits
By order of the Denver Roundup
District Local Committee on Live
Stock Conventions, l hereby extend
to you a cordial invitation for your
self and your whole outfit to be pres
ent and partake in a grand general
Roundup OF all live stock outfits TO
be held January 9-14 1905, at the
Denver Home Ranch. For this occa-
sion all local maverick and estray
laws will be suspended and each out
fit attending will be entitled to every
thing they can get rope on. The
National Live Stock, the National
Wool Growers and the Interstate Cat
tie Growers outfits have already ar
ranged for a full attendance, but no
one is barred out on this occasion.
Mess wagons will run day and night
and there will be things doing all the
time. While work is the regular diet
for the stockman, yet, as rule, he is
not adverse to a little pleasure for
dessert. The home outfit has been
given orders to have a full supply
of the dessert on tap. Ladies includ-
ed in this invitation.
For those who are short on blank
cts and grub, there will be ample mess
arrangements at the local ranches.
Sheep wagons will be given good loca-
lions close to good bedding grounds,
and there will be a full supply OF
wranglers to look after the horse ro-
dec. AS it is desired that every out
fit on the range be represented, your
failure to be on hand may cost you
few calves or lambs, as the committee
on this occasion expects each outfit
to do it's own branding or ear mark
ing. Snake bite medicine and wOf
poison will be in adequate supply.
Doses of blackleg vaccine and sheep
dip may be had from the committee.
All sheep shearing will be done by
machinery, latest improved power
plants being used. There will be
plenty of hay on hand, and those pre-
ferring green grass will find all pas
lures wide open. No rings or saddle
irons allowed on saddles.
AS the general happiness of all is
to be in charge of the committee rep
resenting the local outfits, we would
appreciate it if you would drop
line to the secretary stating that you
will be present and the number and
names of those who will be with you.
We want our arrangements to be ade-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. = TIL ti'A A'ot''
Dissatisfaction at the Z. s. census
returns for 1900 for this city is shown
by the discussions OF the subject in
the meetings OF the Business Mems
Association. There is certainly good
ground for complaint on the part OF
fredericksburg on account OF the
showing OF the 1900 census. This IL
probably not the fault Of the enum-
orators who took the census. 1t was
taken in the summer time during
what may be termed the summer va
cation session, when great number
OF the people and especially the
school children we're in the country
and when hundreds OF laborers were
north on public works. There is II
moral certainty that Fredericks'
burg has population far in excess
OF the figures given by the census,
which gives it a population OF DOGS,
and fair estimates made by those
who are competent to Judge place
the figures at about $500. Certain
ly this ought not to be an overesti-
mate. The census of 1890 gave this
city population of about the same
as the census of 1900, and yet during
the ten years from 1890 to 1900
the growth OF the city, while not
phenomenal, was steady and rapid
All the western part of the town was
built up with substantial residential
buildings. boswell field was builtup
in the same way and there is hardl,
a vacant lot in the city. New manu-
featuring enterprises we're establish
ed, employing a large number OF out
side laborers, who have become per
manent residents of the city, and the
mercantile houses have been gener'
ally enlarged and improved and have
increased their sale forces with large
numbers of young men who have
come here from the surrounding
counties to reside permanently.
However, there can be OF no benefit
resulting from the taking OF the pro
posed census, other than the salts
faction OF knowing exactly what the
population Of the city Is. 1t will not
be official; it will not increase ourap-
preparation from the State for school
purposes, and in addition it would
cost considerable A better plan,
and one costing much less, would b"
to have census Of all the inhabi-
tants OF the town taken when the
next school census is taken.

Some one in the Hanover Herald
is calling upon the Legislature to
protect the fish in North Anna river.
He says that from where the water
from the sulphur mines enters the
river to the Pamunkey, every fish
and frog has been killed, and not
even water snake is to be found.
He suggests that the mines should
sink deep wells into which this pois-
onous water shall be pumped, which
will find its way out below the bed OF
the river. The public Oh both sides
OF the river is much concerned about
the matter and look to the Legisla-
ture for relief.

which he reports the arrival OF junks
bearing japanese wounded from the

Il. considers this to show that some
thing more than a torpedo attack took
place there.
The correspondent at Toxic OF the
Standard reports that two battleships
were destroyed in this attack. while the
correspondent at Tien Tsin OF the
Standard says under date of February
II that a private dispatch from Port
Arthur brings the statement that the

An effort will be made at the next
meeting OF the State Democratic
Committee, so it is reported, to re-
duce the number OF delegates to the
State Convention. Under the pres.
emit basis of representation the con-
vention would be composed OF four
teen or fifteen hundred delegates.
Such a body is hard to manage, and
proper elaboration is difficult. The
opinion seems to be that five or six
hundred delegates would be preiera-
BILE to this large number and the
work can be done by them more sat
isfactorily.

The last United States soldier has

outside interference or domination.
This is exactly what the United
States promised at the outset. The

the establishment of republic and
freeing that beautiful country from
the hand of the oppressor.
