thing for the amelioration of the troubles
of the country that he had hoped for when
he came to Congress. He became from year

who talked to him in his latter days in Con-

N The ;,>2,,.t November 5,n, number

more than justifies its title:
the Marketplace of the World.
1t contains 227 pages of adver-
tising, a volume of business
never before equalled by any
other periodical. There has
never been such an exposition
OF industrial and commercial
enterprises between two COW
ers. 1t is a complete Market
place.
But although it is COM
plete Marketplace, there are
certain shops that cannot be
found in it. There are no
saloons here. 1t is impossible
to buy a cigarette in this Mar
ketplace. There are no enter
prises in it where you can in
vest money at from twelve to
twenty per cent. There are no
places where badness can be
cured, neither can patent medi-
cines be purchased.

The ClaY-Working Industry.

The geological survey has compiled sta
tistics of the clayworking industry of the
United States in 1904, from which it ap-
pears that the value of the clay products
in that year was $13l ,o23, 24S, made up as
follows: Brick and tile and the coarser
products, s1o5,s64 97S; pottery and the finer
products. $25,15s,270. These figures are
practically the same those for 1903,
when the total value of the clay products
was S131 oj2, 421. The building and paving
brick industries showed small increases
in 1904 over 1903. The fire brick industry
in 1904 showed decrease of nearly 81 per
cent owing to the falling off in the iron
industry where fire brick finds it's chief
use The value of the pottery products
during the year showed a slight decrease,
being So. 1862 in 1903 and 25.158270 in

The cowmen have been cutting down their herds and selling off their COWS, which are the source of supply until the shortage is beginning to show itself, and this de- crease in the number of cattle is bound to tell before very long. The ranges seem to be unloading to greater extent than ever before, shipping COWS and heifers that are in prime condition for br, etin9 stock, the same as steers and other stuff which has outlived its use

Hit By The Cars

Last Tuesday morning the local South ern Pacific train from Old Beach brought in an injured man who was found by the train crew just this side of Keystone. The man was badly cut about the head and was unconscious. Dr. Anderson was called and dressed the wounds and had the man brought from the depot to his office, where he could look after his patient in better shape. The man came to consciousness in the course of a few hours and said that his name was George Johnson and that he had at tempted to catch the morning train bound for Old Beach, and that he had failed and was hit by the cars. Wednes- day morning he was sent to the South ern Pacific hospital where he will be in charge of the company. It was reported that he had robbed a man by the name of Jeans the night before he was hurt, but it was mistake.

Habits of the Hog

Tn an address before the Prnnsylva- mia live stock breeders R. l.. Munce said of the hog: Give the hog chance, and he is the most cleanly of all the domestic animals. He is as sanitary in his habits as the most fastidious human being, and when he is the obj ct of filth and squalor and made the sub feet of disease it. is when man has so surrounded him that he has no choice in the matter.
 The hog does not need expensive quarters tn live and do well in. He can be accommodated more easily than any of our animals. He needs, first, access to pure air and water. These go hand in hand with good feed to make best returns. So long as he has clean spot to eat in and clean dry bed to sleep in, with the prevailing wind shut off so that it cannot blow directly on him, he will do we'll and make a profit. The rest of his surroundings he will keep in order if he has room.
 Some think it absolutely necessary to have place for the hog to wallow in. I do not. Even in the hottest weather shade and dry surroundings will keep him healthy and much more presenta- ble. If the wallow is fed by a good live stream that flows in and out of the wlllow all right, but if fed by only enough water to make a mudhole or

 A hog will often start walI0w, especially in our tough limestone clay. He roots out d place in the earth to fit his body and probably get cool earth to lie in. Then the rains fill this up, and you have a real disease breeder or re- taner and an unsghtly spot on the farm.
