Through all the wild panic, during
all that inferno, with fire and smoke
surrounding them, the officers and

their posts, but they were powerless
to avert the catastrophe.

there any opportunity to either lower

All day long, from sunrise until

satisfaction of looking for the dead,
anxious searchers kept up their con-

4 PLATE OF PORK CHOPS.

Corn should not be fed in large
amounts to breeding swine.
There is little reason why sowt
should not bear two filters of pigs a
year, at least in the hands of a skill
full breeder.
Swinekeepers of large experience say
that lousy hogs are much more likely
to take disease than hogs on which nc
vermin exist.
After the pigs are weaned the dry
sows should be placed in a pasture by
themselves and given very little grain
for some time.
Where herds of hogs are badly In
fected with lice the only serviceable
method of getting rid of them seems
to be TO have a dipping tank and dip
the hogs.
Sort the sows. Those that have
proved themselves to be prolific and
good mothers may be retained as
breeders, and those whose record has
not been first-class should be dis
carded. 1t hardly pays to keep a bad
tempered SOW under the impression
that she may do better next time

Earlv Maturity Means Profit.

One of the features of the pig, which
is not sufficiently appreciated. is its
.pr~olifcacy. While the horse, COW and
sheep, as a rule, produce but n or
two young annually, the pig may pro-
duce from 16 to "a, an enormous per-
centage of increase. To make the most
out of pork, the old style of keeping
pigs IS months or SO before slaughter
ing is abandoned, and the animals are
being fitted for the block at six or eight
months. The first 100 pounds of gain
made are the cheapest, the second loo
pounds cost more, and so on increas-
ingly. as far as n chooses to go.
Economy would dictate, then, that GER
tainly when 200 pounds are reached the
animal should be disposed of and a
fresh start made with younger stock.
The best breed is n which natures
early, provided 1t is of good size

Good and Bad Feeding.

Presuming that a breeder has swine
OF first quality the feeding becomes a
question of great Importance. 1t is
often remarked that this and that
breeder failed because he bought ami
mails of fancy breeding points and
then gave them scrub care. This is al
ways a fatal mistake. The pure
bred animals have received many
backsets in reputation from this cause.
Take any Of our best strains of hogs
and let them be turned into a poor
feed lot and be given little grass and
much corn. A few generations of that
kind of feeding will give US a scrut
progeny with a good set of pedigrees
That is a case where the pedigree is
worth less than nothing. 1t is mo-
enough TO know that an animal has g
good line of ancestors; it is necessary
also TO know how it's immediate an

. SUCCESSFUL SALESMAN.
Sold Sea Water and When Tide Went
Out Purchaser Thought Him
Wonder.

The late Thomas Bracket Reed used to
relate the following incident which hap.
pened one summer while he was spending
q few days in a small fishing village on the
New England coast, says the New York
Times.
A young countryman who had been adj
vised TO take sea baths registered at the
village hotel one evening, and shortly after
ward sauntered down to the beach. Espy-
ing a grizzled old fisherman mending has
nets beneath a sign which informed one
that B had boats and tackle to let and
bait for sale, he accosted the veteran and
asked him If the water was not for sale
also. On receiving an affirmative reply
the countryman returned to the hotel, oh,
tanned a couple of buckets, and having paid
the price asked, filled them and returned
to his room to carry oot the doctors In
structions.
On the following morning he happened
down at the beach when the tide wal
out, and after contemplating the broad re
ceding beaches for some minutes, ap'
preached his acquaintance of the evening
before and remarked in a tone of admira
ton: Gosh! but you must have done

KOCH DOES NOT RETRAcT.
Stands by His Guns III the Face Of
the Conclusions of a Very Pos
tive Commission.

The conclusions of the British conf
mission do not appear to have fright
ened Prof. Koch, who has OPPORTUNITY
returned from South Africa to deal with
them. = Through the London Daily
Chronicle the world at large learns that
the professor sees no aso why he
should alter his views because of the re-
port issued by the tuberculosis COM
mission. His own words are most EN-
phatic:
II see absolutely no eason to change
my view, arrived at after years OF care
full experiment, that there is no evil
dence to prove that mar can be infected
by animal tuberculosis in any than the
very slightest degree. The commits
sion has only treated half the Ques-
ton, and hat the less important half.

single nan who has been so infected.
Prove to me that he has been so in
fected before you ask me to change my
point of view. OF all the millions OF
men, women and children who eat bo-
vine flesh and drink milk, how is it
that no case is known where tubercu-
losis has been set up by the partakins
of infected beef and MILK"
This is the very question, says the
London Meat Trades Journal, we have
repeatedly put or record in u col
umns, with the additional remark that
if any man, woman or child had ever
been certified as dying from tuber-
culosis caused by the ingestion of tu-
berculous meat, We should have heard
of it long ago. But there is no such
record. The chief point We have to
bear in mind, however, is that in this
country practically there is no legisla-
ton satisfactorily dealing with the
scientific economical issues surround
ing bovine tuberculosis; and to remedy
this the meat trades of Great Britain
have now a bill before parliament,
which, after it has been reported upon
by the select committee, we hope wifi
become a valuable addition to the IN
actments Of the country, eQuitably deal

STOCk
SOFT CORN FOR LIVE STOCK
Results of Tests at Iowa Experiment
Station Summarized in Very
Interesting Bulletin.

Much corn failed to mature fully in
late planting, seems likely to be true
in 1904. Hence the feeding value Of soft
corn is a live question. Tests at the
Iowa experiment station are fully given
in Bulletin No. rs, which may be had
on application by mail to c., F. Curtiss,
director, Ames, la. The following con-
c~lusions are deduced from the results
obtained:
1. That soft corn in 1902 and contain
ing SO per cent. of moisture, pound Tor
pound. on a water-free, oil dry-matter
basis, was fully equal in feeding value
to mature corn grown in 1900 when used
for fattening cattle.
2. That cattle fed on such soft corn
made nearly as heavy gains and finished
as we'll as those fed on mature corn.
5. That when soft corn similar to that
used in the test could be purchased for
80 cents per bushel, gains on fattening
cattle could be made at a cost of 3.03
cents per pound less than when mature
corn, costing so cents per bushel, the
prevailing price, was fed.
4. That a study of the Chicago live
stock market conditions from January
/, 1903. to July 81, 1908. shows that the
comparatively low prices of beef cattle
were not caused by an ~over-supply OF
half-inished cattle. On the contrary,
there was a larger number of well-fn-
ished cattle marketed during that Pc
Rod for 1908 than for the correspond
ing period of any one of the past ten
years.
s. That the chemical analysis would
indicate that the nutritive value of
the corn grown in 1902 compares ia
vorably with mature corn grown in
other years when water-free substance
or dry matter serves as a basis of COM
pagison.
6. That the amount of moisture
present was the main difference so far
as composition is concerned. That the
amount of moisture depends mainly on
the maturity Of the orn when stricken
by frost.

Keep the Hogs on Pasture.

Keep the hogs on pasture, and make
them get as much gain out of grass as
possible, which is the cheapest way
cheaper than corn alone, and the pigs
are kept much healthier. If pigs are
fed on corn all the time, there are few
cases of profit. A hog likes clover as
well as a cow, and will eat quite a lot
if given a chance. Keeping the hogs
in a close, small pen. is not the up-to-
date way. More exercise and a good
hog-pasture are the things needed

The requests of Coroner hewitt and Fire
Chief Belt that the Commissioners include
additional items for their departments in
the next deficiency bill to be submitted to
Congress have been approved by Commits
sioner Macfarland. Dr. hewitt asks for
81 600 additional, while Chief Belt requests
IS. 600 instead of the $1,000 asked for last
December.
In his letter to the Commissioners the
coroner states that he has only $125.53 re-
manning from the $1,000 appropriated for
his Office for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1904, and that this small sum. judging
from the expenditures made during the
first six months of the fiscal year, will not
pay the obligations of his office for this
month He explains that the insufficiency
of the appropriation has been caused by
the unusually large number of autopsies
that have been necessary in the District,
and by payments to an increased number
of witnesses and Jurors attending inquests.
