that put the hog grower to the crucial
test ". \. Henry, the Wisconsin ex-
pert on porcine matters, insists that
the corn belt hog grower has not yet
got down to the basis of making pork
at a minimum cost. When corn is
worth - cents a bushel it can be
thrown to swine ad libitum, but with
grain worth 40 cents. the horse as
sumes a different hue. Growers unite
in declaring that they cannot make

the writer only recently that $40 was

point Consequently. thousands of
growers arc taking the easy horn of
Tie dilemma and shipping the stock

The problem at present before the
grower is whether or not he can fur

heavy weights profitably. Feeding
either hogs or cattle for recreation is
not desirable. Many feeders did both

DISASTROUS FLOODS.
Grent Damage He's Been Wrought
and Several Drowned

From all parts of the country CONT
reports that the annual spring foods
are raging In some seetions-princi-
pnlly in the East whore the snowfall
has been the greatest In yoars-many
have been drowned, vast amount OF
damage has been done, the d.nser from
rising water and ice gorges is increasing
and hundreds Of lives are imperiled.
In Pennsylvania a 30-foot flood swept
down the north branch of the SusGue-
hanna. Thousands Of people fled from
their homes to the mountains, while
many others were caught before they
could escape. The railroads and the
mines are submerged and every town
along the river between Wilkesbarre and
Sunbury is inundated. 1t is expected that
there may have been heavy loss Of life
IN the farming districts, where the foods
came without the least warning. The
Susquehanna river between Wilkesbarre
and Sunbury, distance of sixty-four
miles, is now one solid mass of ice. An
ice gorge three miles north OF Wilkes
barre is threatening serious damage.
AT Burwood and Westmoor the resi-.
dents were compelled TO leave their
homes in boats The railroad track at
Catawissa has been washed away. At
Middleton the suffering is greater than
in any other portion of the flooded re-
gion. The Borough Council has sub
scribed $500 for the relief of the food
sufferers and the y. NJ c. \. building
has been transformed into a temporary
hospital
At Harrisburg the situation in the
flooded region is critical and the people
are preparing for the worst. In the
Delaware valley rain fell in torrents and
unless the weather should get suddenly
colder one OF the most destructive foodc
In the history of the valley is predicted.
Half million dollars will not cover the
damage done by the food in the vicinity
of Allentown. 1t was the worst expert
enced i'll fifty years, though it ragged for
only twelve hours.
From all over the eastern section Of
Pennsylvania come reports of danger
from the foods. Already the damage is
enormous. York, Reading. Allentown.
Bloomsbury Pottsville, Rupert. Lehigh-
ton ana Sunbury are among the cities
that have suffered worst. Loss of life is
reported at many points.
Floods menace cities and towns in
every section Of the East swept by the
recent storm. Trenton has a flood that
is twenty-five feet above the nOrmCi
height Of the water. AT Rochester the
Genesee river has risen at an alarming
rate. At Schenectady the city authori-
ties have been dynamiting the ice i'll the
hope Of breaking the gorge.
