Profitable Hogs.

Did you say that there was no
money in raising thoroughbred swine?
If so. read the following item from
the Kissimmee Valley Gazette:
Mr.. Walter Lorenz, superintendent
of the ST. Cloud plantation and a
gentleman that is trustworthy in every
respect. made the following statement
to a representative of the Valley Ga
Zette on day this week, with refer
ence to his experience in raising hogs:
About three years ago he invested
S11 i'm a pair of Berkshire pigs, from
the increase of which he sold $500
worth of meat; $115 worth of hogs,
and gave away five pigs, valued at
$40. He now has hogs left which he
values at $40, making the gross profit
on the original investment 1913. Mr..
Lorenz says that the cost of feeding
during that time has been sos. De-

'1Dr.RNRw,e,.

Many mothers of families in the United
States have reason to be grateful to the
person who recommended DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. This is medi-
cine specially prescribed for diseases of
womankind. 1t does not cure eczema,
catarrh in all it's forms, nor heart dis
ease, for it is put up for the single par-
pose of curing diseases peculiar to
sOOmen. 1t has a reputation of over a
third of century of cures, and has
sold more largely on this continent
than any other medicine for women.
Another point in its favor-it does not
contain a single drop of alcohol or
harmful habit-forming drugs. 1t is
purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less in any condition of the system.
An alcoholic compound for women is
something no woman should take and
yet "FavOrite Prescription is the only
tonic and nervine put up for sale
through druggists, especially for wom-
ans weaknesses, that does not contain
alcohol and that too in large quantities.
Womanly weakness will always bring
nervous irritability and a nervous con-
dition, for which alcohol is the worst
thing in the world. What a woman
thus afflicted needs is vegetable tonic
and invigOrating nervine like Doctor
Pierce's FavOrite Prescription, which
will build up her delicate system and
bring about a healthy tone. 1t cures
the drains and weaknesses of women,
also displacements, as prolapsus, ante
version, retroversiOn, irregular and
painful periods and kindred ailments.
If you want to know what ails you
the United States mail will bring you
the best medical advice for only the
cost of writing materials and stamps.
Many women owe their present good
health to the fact that they consulted
DR.. Pierce by letter, giving him all pos
sible information about their condition,
symptoms, etc., and received in return
good medical advice which cost them
nothing. This is why we advise you to
write to DIR. R. V. Pierce, the founder
of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y.
Dr. Pierce by no means confines
himself to prescribing his well-known
proprietary medicines. He tells you
in the most cOmmOn-sense way what
ails you, what you ought to do, what

An English Version of Loft and
the Bees"

Some few weeks ago the press OF
the country reIa ted the difficulties that
arose between Mr.. Loft, the we'll
known candy manufacturer and
neighbOr who sold bees. The bees
were supposed to have lived to some
considerable extent on the sweet goods
of the manufactures. The Practical
ConfectiOner. an esteemed cOntempOr-
ary, records the incident, and it comes
back to us this way:
There is the making of an immOr-
tai quarrel i'm New York, where two
well-mOneyed men named Loft and
Root make candy and keep bees next
door to each other. 1t is too utterly
prOsaic for the Board of Health to
interfere in it: as a case for abstract
argument, the question which of them
is in the wrong seems not less inter
eSting than that about the egg and the
hen, which is to be considered as the
first cause of the other. The candy
factory kills Roots bees. and the bee
store feeds upon Lofts candy; one or
the other should put a stop to this,
but which? All things equal. it is
point too fine for merely legal argu-
ment. At law, indeed, the candy man
has evidently the best of it, since Root
can only sue for wilful damage to his
swarms, while Loft may conveniently
proceed by either civil or criminal
action. Videlicet. he can send in
bill for sugar had and supplied, or he
can claim damages in respect of
nuisance, or, again, he can indict the
unfortunate Root for theft and re-
ownership. AS if this were not suffi-
GENTLY unfair, the Board of Health has
taken sides with him and ordered
Root to go with his bees elsewhere
Root, with lofty spirit says he will
go to the highest courts. while Loft
affirmS, i'm the nastiest way. that
money is once more the root of all
evil, and no doubt Root can well
afford his lawyers fees. Perhaps he
can; but we are afraid they will never
secure him Il decision in abstract
equity.-The Supply World.

About a year and a half ago Mr..

new potatoes under his care.
Ahe new potato will be sweeter

palatable. Mr.. Burbank says the new
kind of potato will revOlutionize the

California Freeze.

Some of our California friends, in
the orange business are having
troubles of their own this year. Read
the following from the Gainesville
Sun and you will know how to sympa-
thize with them.
The weather is no reSpecter of sec
tiOns or states, and when the cold
wave gets headed for California or any
other favored section, it makes as good
connections as any of the most reli-
able trunk lines. The recent cold
snap i'm California was serious one,
ana when we realize the fact that the
mercury dropped to % degrees above,
it is quite evident that there was a
cool breath about.
From The Fruit Trade Journal of
New York, since the cold wave, we
take the following:
Los Angeles, Jan. 6, 1906
Last Sunday and Monday nights,
as we'll as a spell of two days about
week previous. California had cold
weather-22 degrees above zero. At
first very few persons would admit
that any damage was done whatever,
but it will have to be admitted that in
some of the exposed sections frosted
fruit will show up as soon as CalifOr-
mia has had period of a week s warm
weather again. Most of the Riverside
fruit is i'm good condition, though as
usual the very low cold sections have
been touched up. The same applies to
Arlington, Casa Blanca and Corona,
as well as Pomona, Santa Anna, Co
vina, Azusa, etc. RedlandS seems to
have gotten off with less damage in
the lower districts than any section of
Importance.
SThere is a good deal of speculation
going On as to what the effect will be
on the future Never before have
growers seemed so uncOncerned about
the frost Usually there has been a
tendency to rush off shipments before
there is any chance of the fruit show
ing dry. but it seems to be the opinion
of a great number that on account of
the very short crop which will be the
inevitable result of the light crop that
was set to start with. and the still
shorter crop which will be the result
from the frost as well as the damage
done by the winds, it is a shOrtsighted
policy to do much shipping under pres
ent market conditions. When the
fruit does begin to show dry there may
be some tendency to hurry shipments,
but there is no reason to anticipate
any serious OvercrOwding of the mar
ketS.
The cold weather probably will ne
cessitate marketing the crop a little
faster than otherwise. though this may
be cOunter-balanced by the fact that
nearly every grower who can hold his
crop seems to be determined to do so.
in anticipation of very high prices
from the first of March on, with a pos
Sibility of them coming sooner. There
is every reason why prices should be
high late in the season. unless some
special condition arises that viii knock
out the present arguments for high
prices With the possibility of these
high prices later it would seem that
there should be less huctuatiOn and
depression in the market this year
than usual"

The MoFEAT ROAD.

David H. Moffat'S announcement that
funds have been secured and plans
made TO begin construction at the Salt
Lake end of his road, and for the con-
tinuance of building operations from
the Colorado terminus, will suit people

disbursement of construction funds, the
new road promises innumerable ben
efts to this state and city. It will open
up for commercial and agricultural de-
velopment one of the most important
unsettled regions in the country The
immense area tapped by the Moffat
route is rich in mineral resources,
offers a great field for sheep and stock
raising, has rich agricultural land,
pientifu1jy watered, which will attract
: settlers, and ought TO prove a profit

Marshall could be convicted of nothing

KILLED HIMSELF TO
AVOID INDICTMENT

Portland, Ore, March "a Telegram
special from Eugene. Ore, states that
Chief of Police Joseph s. Stiles COM
mitted suicide last night by shooting
himself in the head. His body was
found early today in an old tannery
building on the outskirts of the city.
Stiles was so years old, a man of fam
lily and a member of the Christian
church. The cause of the deed is sup
posedly in connection with present in
vestigations of the grand jury in re-
gard to a statutory charge combined
with the giving of liquor to young girls.
Constable Virgil Rowland was indicted
last night as a result of these investi-
cations, and it is asserted that other
indictments were anticipated.
