A Discussion on Hogs.

Wednesday at the Mitchell Club
rooms the stockmen g%atllered.tor the
morning session, and it was devoted
wholly to a discussion Of the hog.
S. A. Braa, of Artesian, who is one
of the leading breeders of the state in
in this line of stock, started the dis
cussion By the presentation OF a
paper on asHow to Breed and Feed
a Hog for Best Results as a Breed

occupation open to all who wish to.

lit. and 1t is for the successful con-
tinuance of this business that brings
this gathering together here today,
a body Of intelligent, progressive
men. 1t is not for me to say What
type Of hogs shall be selected. I am
a firm believer in the principles OF
straight breeding ordinarily, and am
confident that by selecting a breed
suited to the Surroundings, and
breeding that breed in it's purity,
better results will be obtained than
by an injudicious crossing of our
breeds OF hogs. The pure bred hog
is the farmers friend, although some
do not realize the fact, thinking that
a common bred sire OF good form will
do as we'll as a pure bred one. The
latter is prep0tent, and brings a uni
form class OF hogs, while the ether
may impress his good qualities upon
his offspring OF he may intensity his
lack of perfection in them. The
difference in price does not justify
the result The hog for the farmer
must be a vigorous hog. one that
will rustic for his living and thrive
in grass and rape, or will follow the
feeding cattle and help make feed
ing cattle pay. He must be born
right from properly mated, properly
bred and properly fed dams, not a
great rough unfinished creature at
maturity, neither Il dnmpling, but
a hoy Of clean cut bead and good
t1intv bone. one that will grow to
300 pounds with finish in the short
est time on the least feed. Before
a crop of pigs can be we'll started
in life it is necessary to have the
right kind OF a sire and dam, and
to have them in proper condition.
The sire should be of good size,
strong and masculine and kept on the
mend, as we Say during breeding sea-
son, and should embody in his form
the ideal type of the owner as near
as possible. The sows should be of

any great length OF time as it will

How He Remembered 1t.

When they met on Chestnut street

Germantown and was there with his
Iares, penates and coal bill. Come up
and see me some evenlng-any even
ing. We're rarely out, you know, and,
then, we have a telephone, so you can
let us know when you're coming"

any means the whole story. The Isle
of the Lost is also the Isle of Potential
Wealth. If it had no other claim to
importance, it's dense forests would be
enough to makeSit worth owning. Prac-
tically untouched, they stretch from
one end Of Sakhalin to the other. The
Japanese will know what to do with
them.
Besides, there is coal-not easily
mined, but abundant. At Duey the
toughest criminals have worked chain
ed to their barrows, and each year
they spent in the mines has counted as
year and a half toward Fastening
their discharge. Sakhalin has long
supplied ships with fuel. Perhaps the
Japanese will develop the coal mines
to the full extent Of their possibilities,
but it is certain at all events that they
will develop the oil fields. According
to G. S. Patonoff the oil regions Of Sa-
khalin are richer than those Of Amerl-
ca. Subterranean lakes-some Of them
with an area of 5000 square feet-lie
so close to the surface that natural
gushers can be easily established. The
oil regions lend themselves readily to
exploitation, for the east coast is only
from 20 to % miles away, and there
nature has provided harbors that boats
drawing 20 feet of water can safely
enter,

The tourist generally spends a quiet
day at Heidelberg, the famous "stu.
dent city," with its noted castle, an
ivied ruin which looks down on the
gentle Neckar, upon vineyards, on the
hill slopes and the solid queer stone
houses of the town itself. All of Hell
delberg has witchery about it, espe-
cially the steep and narrow Haupt-
strasse, where every easement has its
swinging bird cage and pots of fiow-
ers gayly bloom. The Stueckgarten
here was Goethe's favorite nook at
Heidelberg. Then there is the great
tun of Heidelberg. a monster wine
cask capable of holding $4,000 gallons.
Afternoons the students sit on the ter
race of the Schloss Hotel and listen
to the band. Each student society ap-
propriates a long table to itself, and
each one wears its special colored cap,
of blue, or gold, or red, or white. The
young men In white caps are all of no
bic birth. Many of them have strips
Of white court plaster on their faces,
a fact which causes tourist girls to
become excited, for they know that
these men have been fighting duels.
All of the students have frivolous little
canes, and with each group Of them is
an enormous dog, their mascot, which
belongs to their society collectively.
The country between Heidelberg and
Darmstadt is more than merely pref
ty. Almost all the towns on the route
are wine towns, with extensive vine
yards. The traveller passes "Bingen
on the Rhine" and looks for the old
"Mouse Tower" where the wicked
bishop of Hattie persisted miserably
after assembling the poor in his barns
and burning them up. 1t stands in a
quartz rock In the middle of a water
way. A trip down the river takes the

which so many stories are told by po-
cts and peasants along the princely
Rhine.

TIE SPOKANE INTERSTATE FAIR
Opened Last Monday Amid a Grand
Throng Of People.

Spokane's fair, which opened Mon
day, is in full swing this week, attend
ed by thousands of enthusiastic visitors
not only from the city but from all por
tions of the Pacific Northwest. The
railroads gave one fare rate on Mon
day from the four Pacific Northwest
states and this brought great throngs
to the exposition. The fair lasts two
weeks and during the remainder of the
time the roads will give a fare and
third rate from all points in the Inland
Empire. This rate is good every day.
Reports indicate that the opening
night parade and festival, given by the
1901 club and by the Mystic Order
of E-Nak-Ops were a grand success in
evrey way.
The grandstand was thronged that
night and all the reserved seats in the
grandstand were sold for that night
four days before the fair opened.
The racing is far superior this year
to anything ever before seen in Spokane
Many more horses are on the ground
and they are faster animals than ever
before came to Spokane. The racing
is podular and excellent time is being
rlade. The open betting ring is fea
ture which pleases the sportsmen.
Among the many organizations that
will entertain visiting members during
the Interstate fair at Spok ane is the
Spanish American War Veterans. They
have planned an elaborate smoker for
Thursday evening Oct. 4th at their hall
810R Riverside avenue. ALI men hav-
ing seen service are invited to attend.
A royal good time is promised the visi.
tors by the 242 men comprising Gener-
al Charles King Camp of Spanish War
Veterans.

resonance and penetrated to the up
