to buy stock very cheaply, and, so
many short-fed cattle having been
thrown on the market during the past
year and the feeders being reluctant
TO replace them in the feed lots, there
is a prospective shortage of finished
cattle, for which class predictions Of
materially higher prices during the
coming year are freely made by the
statesmen at the livestock centers.
The coming year seems to hold out
bright prospects for choice cattle. AT
no time in the history of the business
has there been better prospect of
steady demand for finished beef cat
tie of good breeding and quality. The
export demand is strong, the close of
the last year being the heaviest in
this line since 1890. The quality for
this demand must necessarily be OF
the best, and those who make export
ing their business will scour the
ranges for the stock that they want.
This and the general demand for home
consumption of choice beef will urge
upon the cattle producers, not only
upon the farms but upon every range
section as we'll, the great advantage

in their business, by increasing the
use of pure-bred breeding stock in
their herds. This is an era of low
prices for high-class breeding stock,
and a most favorable time that farm
ers and cattlemen have to secure
cattle of good breeding stock for i'm
proving their herds.
The introduction of choice blood of
any standard beef breed into the cat
tie of any section means economy of
feed and far better results in weight
and the quality of the beef when
ready for the market. 1t is money
making business proposition that
should be taken advantage of by every
one who raises cattle, whether for
shipment outside the state or for
home consumption. Every year that
the use of inferior or ordinary breed
ing stock is continued is time, feed
and money lost. An increased de-
mand for highly bred cattle will come,
and with it prices must advance.

Age at Which to Breed SoWs.

Young sows should not be bred
under ten months of age and ven then
only when we'll developed. If the SOW
under ten months of age or is not do
ing well, the breeding should be de-
ferred from six weeks to two months
1t is sad mistake to breed at too
young an age, especially so when the
animal is in an undeveloped condi-
ton. 1t hinders the development and
lowers the vitality in both SOW and
litter. When so bred the filters are
small, the pigs weak and the feeding
qualities of both are injured. The
process is tearing down that which
required centuries to build up. The
male should never be used before
nine or ten months old, and from then
until eighteen months old only to a
limited extent. Excessive use in early
life tends toward physical decay in
the male and the results are small lit
ters and weak pigs. If the male and
female are bred at the proper time
and well cared for they may be kept
until five or six years old. 1t should
be said that the average farmer makes
a mistake in disposing of the brood
SOW at too early an age. A SOW for
breeding purposes is not at her best
until she has produced her third or
fourth litter. Every succeeding litter
from the first grows better.
The number of filters to be far
rowed per year depends on the age
and stamina of the SOW. After the
first year she may bring two filters
a year, if well cared for and she has
warm comfortable winter quarters.
When the production of meat is the
sole object two filters a year are
preferable to one, but when the OBJ
ject is to raise breeders to be sold at
high prices one litter a year should
be the limit. The care of the SOW
both while raising a litter and while
idle, is very important. Suitable food

LIVE STOCK
Cattle Prospects and Retrospects.

Chicago is the livestock center of
the world and what is being done
there may be taken as a good basis
upon which to form some idea of the
business throughout the country. Last
year was a bad one at the Chicago
market, owing to the prolonged strike
at the packing center. The receipts
at the Union Stock Yards for the year
show a decrease of 173,301 cattle,
4,244 calves, S7177 hogs and 1880
sheep in comparison with the receipts
for the previous year. This, however,
is only per cent under the receipts
for 1903, but is a gain of 4 per cent
over 1902. This decrease was due
entirely to the strike. At the same
time the demand for meats fell off
very materially, resulting in the turn
ing back on the ranges of a portion
of the years crop of cattle that would
otherwise have been sent to market.
Naturally prices declined, especially
on common grades and habitat stock,
and spoiled what might otherwise
have been a prosperous year for the
range stock man.
Choice cattle were in strong de-
mand nearly all the year, and top
prices rose from $5.85 in January to
$3.50 and $7.65 in November and
December, respectively. Short-fed
and poorly bred cattle, on the other
hand, sold respectively low. Native
steers of from 1900 to 1850 pounds
averages, and of 1850 to 1900
pounds averages, constituting the
two leading classes of cattle on
the market and possessing the
greater weight and higher value per
hundred pounds, sold for an average
increase of about 20 cents per 100
lbs. The falling off in the demand
for meats, referred to above, due
mainly to sensational agitation during
the strike, pertained mostly to the
cheaper grades.
While on the average the prices re-
ceived by stockmen for cattle during
the year were no lower than the cor
responding average for 1908, yet corn
cost more and so results were less
satisfactory. For this reason many
beginners and Transient feeders of
cattle dropped out, leaving the field
to the experienced feeders to operate
under more favorable conditions than
have obtained at any time during the
past five years. Prices for stockers
and feeders have dropped to the low
est figures that have prevailed for
many years. This enables the feeders

INDIANS OPPOSE
 RENEWING LEASES Leahy Makes Statement in
 Their Behalf
ARE UNFAIRLY TREATED
Says Secretary of Interior Is lneon- sistent In His Recommendation for Renewal of Leases on
 the OH Lands.

Washington. February 21.-William T. Leahy, q member of the council of the osage India.- tribe, in a statement given out today, Says the Indians are opposed to the renewal of the oil lease on their lar.ds upon the existing terms, and are protesting against a renewal. The orig inal lease given to E. B. Foster for a period of ten years, the statement says, was approved contrary to the wishes of the Indians The statement asks that the President have an investigation made as those affected by the lease have been obliged to fight their battle alone, and consent to employ assistance, which can be done only with the approval of the de- pertinent.
 MT. Leahy is one of ten Indians who came to Washington and, according to the statement of ldr. Leahy, they came as a delegation to secure, among other things. adequate royalty for leases on their h. dian oil lands. They were fairly treated before the House committee on Indian af- fairs, the statement recites. but when the Senate committee on Indian affairs gave hearing on the Penrose amendment they expressed a desire U be heard, 1t is reclted but the Senate committed de- clined to give tleir delegation a hearing, saying they could make their statement to the Secretary of the Interior. The statement continuing. says:
 Favors Renewing Lease.
 "The Secretary of the Interior assumed to represent the government. and stated he would be fin favor of renewing the lease on 6SOON acres of territory on terms simi- lar to those of the original lease-that is with royalty of 10 per cent to the In dians"
 It Is then added that 6SO thousand acres covers the entire oil district of the terri tory owned by the tribe and is all the oil company desires. The statement takes issue with a statement attributed to the Secretary of the Interior that the Indians consented to such a compromise. The original lease, 1t is stated, covered l, 900 acres.
 We relied upon the support of the de- partment before Congress-" the statement says, because we have been led to be- lleve that the entire administration was unutterably opposed to the renewal of the lease and we feel that the Osage Indians have been unfairly and unjustly dealt with in the granting of a new lease on our oil lands without our consent of pro vision for greater royalty than we now receive.
 we understood that the Indian Terri tory Illuminating company were willing a gro afor z ', consent to the renewal of the lease. but the statement of the Secretary of the h. terior before the committee on Indian af- fairs was to the effect that the royalty now paid, that is, one-tenth of that pro- duced, was enough"
 The statement then says what was said by the secretary before the commit tee cannot be reconciled with the state ment in which he spoke of the original

PLUMBING ORDINANCE
 IS AGAIN DISCUSSED Thoughts Suggested by the Card of Mr. Barbour Dangers, Inconyences, Ab- surdties and Hum0rs of the

, permit and inspection fees? It would seem that here is chance to make good es a public benefactor.
 In this connection it may be asked what advantages accrue to the citizen from this requirement of permit and in- spection ON WATER SERVICE. when
 the ordinance contains no provision as
 to the manner in which water pipes
 must be laid or the material to be used
 MT. Barbour says the new ordinance
 does not provide for the removal of
 any work now in progress.
 The Original Paragraph. The ordinance as originally introduced
 read: "Plunger closets pan closets or
 Philadelphia hoppers. or any other closet
 where the supply is direct from the street
 service or other supply, are. hereafter from this date prohibited in all cases
 where such exist. and shall be on the
 order of the plumbing inspector within thirty days after such order has been
 delivered. be removed and a tank closet
 put in the place of the one removed" ]"
 The clause providing for removal within
 thirty days was subsequently, stricken out as ''too hairy" A clause provides
 that the ordinance is effective after it's
 passage and publication for one time. Where the Repairs Pinch. So mucn TOT some or the teCHilicdHtleS. Now for the application of the ordi-
 nance upon the great body of citizens landlords. individual home owners and tenants.
 MT Barbour says the new ordinance imposes no additional fees or costs. the provisions in this respect being those
 of the existing ordinance. Let us see if
 he is not mistaken.
 The existing ordinance allows repairs without the expense of permit and in- spection fees.
 Section 90 of the new ordinace reads: Application for permits to be charged for at the rate of one dollar each. ! Licensed plumbers will be required to take out a permit for all new work in addition to old work where any kind of material is used to supply the defici- ency to the work already installed" etc. The Little Joker. In the middle of section 31. which cov- CTS two pages of typewriting without a paragraph in it, is this sentence: Tt will not be necessary to obtain per-
 init and inspection in case of repairs
 which are defined as follows: Leak in soil waste. vent or water pipes, but should any soil. waste. vent or water pipe become bad and defective, and it is necessary to remo or replace same with sound material IN ANY PART OR PARTS a permit must be secured and inspection made as herein provided The little joker is in capitals tour own) Isn't new joint f pipe new ma terial?

The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-02-22

In replying to REALTY'S criticism or the new plumbing ordinance, MT. Sen r. Barbour, master plumber ana mem her of the board of aldermen, comes out into the open as the author of the meas ure This Is encouraging.
 REALTY can well believe that MT. Barbour spent several months In the preparation of this wonderful document It if were harmless, it would rank with the best efforts of Mark Twain as a humorous production. It begins as piece of legislation, evolutes into set of specifications, and ends as a one sided plumbing contract.
 Gas About Gas.
 MT. Barbour's statement that the pres ent system of plumbing could not with stand the backward pressure of sewer gas when the great sanitary sewers are completed and connections are made Herewith. may be amiably dismissed as bosh. The big sewers will carry on the gas all the faster and each manhole Will be a vent. Moreover under the existing ordinance, traps between roof Of house and sewer are prohibited, the intent being to have the plumbing or eacn house do its own vent work There Is no such proyision in the new ordinance. T his is but one instance in which that measure is a step backward.
 The new ordinance ,s very specific as to material to be used in the yard. but silent as to materials in the house. Why?
 Another Step Backward.
 Again, under the new ordinance, any four-gallon tank, however cheap, may be mt in. The existing ordinance Is rigid as to the kinds of closets and the methods of installing them. It specines that tank closets must have capacity of at least five gallons.
 MT. Barbour sadly asks. Do you re- alize. tenants and owners, that there Is only a little body of water, one and a half inches in depth contained in the traps under your lavatories and sinks. between you and the most malignant or gases. the fatal sewer gas. The new ordinance makes no specification as to water seals in closet traps, The ordi- nance declares that closet traps shall have a water seal of 1% inches.
 It's Up to Him.
 MT. Barbour says he Is taking con tracts every day which would be done under the new ordinance (this is .cinch 1t would seem and the addi- tioi.al cost does not affect any part of the plumbing except the difference Tn the cost of cheap closet and good one placed in the yards. This does not exceed s750" Will MT. Barbour agree to change every yard closet that is to be changed at the price of S.50? Is this all of the cost of removing the old and installing the new, including the extra heavy pipe specified, the labor and the
