Police Force Vigilent.

Washington, D. c., May o.
Chairman Shonts of the isthmian
canal commission has made a formal
report to Secretary of War Taft COW
erlng the progress of the work, the
water supply, health conditions, and
food. 1t fills 10 pages of printed
pages in pamphlet and aside from
some prolixity of details is an inter
esting document. One of the most
perpleXing matters with so hetrogen-
slous population is that of law and
order. Law and order continue to
be maintained to degree that would
be remarkable under any conditions, .
says the report, "and is especially so
when the character of the population
of the zone is considered, with it's
vast army of $4,000 employees gathered
from all parts of the world. Under
the administration of Governor Ma
COON the police force is so vigiIant
and so efficient that good order is
steadily maintained, serious crime IS
almost unknown, and arrests are main.
~ for petty offenses and Violations If
the sanitary laws"
The most trying piece of work is
that OF cutting through the Culebra
range, over which the French expend-
ed so much money and made so little
showing. In this, Mr.. Shonts de-
clares, good progress has been made,
every advantage of climatic conditions
being taken.

The CuIebra Cut.

The CuIebra Cut.
The work of putting Culebra cut in
shape Tor the approaching wet sea-
sen, as Wei as for the installation oil
the largest possible number of steam
shOveIs on a. systematic plan, has
been steadily carried forward ALI
the barriers across the cut left By the
French have been removed, and no,
only have tracks been laid and bal
lasted ON each level, but for most Oh
the way through the bottom of the
canal prism a well-ballasted double
track line has been constructed
About $4,000 yards of the dirt slide
have been removed, leaving a BERN
$50 feet wide back from the slope Oh
the canal prism, so that if this slide
continues to come down none of it will
push over into the prism, as it has
done heretofore. Following this
same rule, in two or three years more
the entire slide will have been re-
moved. This work is so well along
that if the present good weather
should continue two or three weeks
more Culebra cut will be in such
shape as to permit of the removal OF
the largest quantity of material dur
ing the wet season, without danger
from any Of the mishaps from slides,
or derailments due to bad tracks.
which have heretofore been attendant
upon such effort. Chief Enginee.
Stevens during the month of March.
without making any special effort, but
following the general policy of work
herein outlined, removed 240, 900 cubic
yards of material, with an average OF
10 40 steam shovels working. He
believes that by July or August he
will have forty shovels installed, and
will be in a position to remove ap-
proximately 1000 900 cubic yards per
month. The actual cost for material
handled during March, figuring in
contractors expenses, was 5315 cents
cubic yard.
Type of CanaI-Decision Urgent.
Finally, the most important and
pressing question before the commits
sion today is a decision in regard to
the type of canal to be constructed.
We are holding back the improve
ments at La Boca (the Pacific
terminus) both as to terminal yards
and the extension of the steel pier,
not knowing whether or not the type
decided on will cause us to abandon
all these improvements. The ex-
tent and character of additional ma
chinery to be used, as we'll as the ex-
tent and character of additional equip
ment to be purchased, are all awaiting
the determination of this most vital
question, and inasmuch as all this ma
chinery and equipment must be manu- |
featured to order in the United States |
and manufacturers in almost every |
branch are filling their books with |
orders months ahead, the delay in |
reaching a decision as to type may
mean a very serious delay in getting |
the necessary plant, and thus ulti- |
mately mean serious delay in the con-
struction of the canal"

1t seems very strange that hOrticul-

They are ready to try new varieties
of fruits, often at considerable loss
when they prove not to be as good as

the grower. But when a new method
of culture is offered, which is not i'm

Bacon Hogs.

Elsewhere. you will find, this week,
an article on profitable pork prOduc-
ton. You will find that the writer
places great emphasis on early ma
turity. That has been a serious OBJ
lection to the razOr-backs; aside from
all other shortcomings. they We're too
long in reaching a salable size. We
have never recommended the native
breed of hogs, commonly called razor
backs. as being good stock to breed
for the production of pork. Nor do we
consider this race a desirable one to
keep. but there is no doubt that it
might be used to good advantage
as the base of new race of bacon
hogs, which would be very profitable
The agricultural papers of the North
are devOting much space now to eX-
plotting the bacon hog. A late number
of the American Agriculturist contains
an editorial on the subject. of which
the title is: Bacon Type of Hogs
Favored by Packers
The following is one sentence: ''Con-
tinued experience has demonstrated
that the lard type hog, while undOubt-
edly the most profitable for the corn
belt, may not in all cases give the
farmer of the eastern or northwest
ern states the largest net returns -
1t then goes on to show that the bacon

sentence of the closing paragraph is
as follows: I'VE are satisfied it will
pay hog raisers everywhere. not pro-
ducing pure bred animals. but hogs
for market only, to Introduce some
bacon type blood in their herds -
Southern agricultural papers contain
many advertisements, lately, of Tam
worth hogs, a famous English bacon
breed. A late number of the Farmers
Home Journal contains a note from an
advertiser, among other things he
mentions the fact that he had just sold
large TamwOrth male and two large
TamwOrth sOws to be exported to the
Argentine Republic He also said that
he is able to sell all the pigs that fifty
sOws will produce, having already sold
this season, over 200 spring pigs, which
went to all points of the compass.
The raZOr-back has many points of
resemblance to the portraits of Tam
worth swine as shown in the advertise
ments. 1t lacks early maturity and
has too much snout. But as said be-
fore, we believe that good bacon
breed could be developed from
scientific cross of our native stock with
some pure breed. The Berkshire and the
Essex have both done we'll in this
state, but from what we know of them,
our preference would be for the Es-
sex. If you are so situated that you
can grow pigs for market try such a

it was all mistake. The goods were
intended for Ohio.
How long is our state, also, to be
goods which are not salable in other
states?
Can you see any reason why manu-
facturers of food products, of any kind.
should not be required to tell the truth
about the contents of each can? Do
you think more of your stock, or of
your land, than of your own health or
that of your family?
We have had fertilizer law. for
years, which requires each sack sold
to be labeled with tag giving the
exact analysis of it's contents. The
last legislature passed law which
fOrbids the sale of any mixed or
ground stock food which does not
show. on the tag, a true statement of
its food value. Any one selling stock
food of this kind which is not equal
i'm value to the statement on the label
is liable to fine. But any one can
sell adulterated food for your own use,
or that of your infant child, and there
is no remedy. Whose health is the
most important to you? The next
legislature should be required, by pub
lie opinion, to see that the life and
health of our families are protected
from the rapacity of the vultures who
are growing rich by the adulteratiOn
of food and medicine. No proprietary
medicine should be allowed to be sold
which does not tell exactly what drugs
hOl. We should not insist upon the
giving of the formula in every case
But if the medicine contains opium
laudanum, cocaine or any dangerous
drug the exact amount should be plain
ly stated. 1t is true that tinctures
contain Il large amount of alcohol. but
that is well known. But when Il medi-
cine which is recommended for general
Use contains a very large percentage
of alcohol the fact should be stated on
the label. Some of these proprietary
medicines are kept and sold by deal
ers simply and solely for the purpose
of satisfying the craving of their GUS
toners for an alcoholic drink The
dealer could not sell beer or whiskey
without paying Il heavy license, but
he can sell these vile cOunterfeits, I'M
der the guise of medicine, and no one
may modest him. This can be done in
a DRY county, and the sheriff may
be standing by, but he cannot prevent
the dealer from selling nor the man
from drinking himself drunk, in his
presence. What will you do about il?
