Many Rrldgen Built.

With the completion of the nine new bridges in Jefferson county. contracts for the construction of which have just been let by the board of revenue, the county will have something over one hundred brand new steel bridges, thir- ty-one of which were built during the last four years. This is considered a record breaking number and it is said the board of revenue will continue to build bridges until every important ford and ferry in the country is pro- vided with steel structure.
 Already there are four strong bridges over Warrior river and the completion of the Jasper ford bridge will make the fifth steel bridge to span this river. Five bridges cross the Cahaba river, and smaller streams may be crossed at any number of places.
 The McAnally bridge, already com pleted over Warrior river. is 630 feet long and the Jasper fora bridge, which will soon span the same stream will

This Weeks Paper.

We have another article on the
White Fly, which makes a statement
which we should like to have verified
or cOntradicted. That is, that the
oak trees in the hammocks are as
full of white fly as the orange trees.
Is this fact? If so, there is little
hope of reducing or controlling the
pest until we find a parasite which
will live on the flies themselves The
fungus attacks the pupae as also does
the snail. So far as we know nothing
attacks the full-grown fly.
Mr.. Gilbert gives an interesting ex-
position of the tides.
Mr. Beach sends us an interesting
extract from a Government Bulletin
on the Mango. And we have another
of MIR. Gales articles on the other
side of the question.
If you have had any melon blight,
read the article on the subject this
week.
We urged you last week to try
some alfalfa this fall, this week you
will find something of interest about
adulterated seed.
We hope that none of our readers
are shipping green oranges, but if
so, we hope that you will read what
is said on that subject this week.
1t is rather late to plan for hot
weather meat for this season, but it
would be well to make plans for an
other year.
The question of the number of
hours which shall constitute a days
work on farm is ably discussed in
some articles from exchanges. When
laborers in all other callings are strik-
ing for an 8 hour day, and usually
getting it, it is not strange that they.
are not willing to work ~ to Il on
farm for less wages.

Scarcity of Bacon Hogs.

The following from Coleman's Rural
World needs no comment. We will
merely call your attention to the fact
that the bacon hogs are wanted not
for making the dry salted meat sold
as bacon throughout the Sourh, but
for making the strips Of smoked bacon
sold at a much higher price.
eve are running the stuff in at the
front door Of the smoke house, and out
al the back said a bacon curer, in an
exchange.
This means that bacon material is
scarce and demand more than equal
to the supply. ALI trade conditions
have conspired to bring this about
Bacon hogs are selling close to 81 per
cWt. on the Chicago market and the
upward movement Of light hog values
recently has been phenomenal. Bacon
consumption has undoubtedly been
materially increased by the TRADE di-
rected at canned beef. Denmark is
not contributing it's usual quota and
in Canada bacon hogs are more than
81 per cwt higher than in the United
States. Conditions seem propitious

Hot Weather Meat.

There is no doubt that chickens will
furnish the best and cheapest supply
of meat for the farmers table. But
some think that chicken meat is not
sufficiently healthy for a laboring man
and that farmer needs other meat
In many parts Of this state, as in all
farming districts, it is very difficult to
procure fresh meat In some places
farmers have formed clubs and killed
a small beef once a week or once in
two weeks dividing the carcass accord
ing to prescribed rules. But even that
plan is not practicable everywhere.
A kid or lamb can be used in almost
any family, or if not, one or two
neighboring families would be enough
to dispose of it. The following is
from Coleman's Rural World:
1t is strange that while English peo-
pie and those of western Europe have
a liking for mutton that Americans do
not, as a nation, take kindly to it. In
thousands of homes on farms and in
cities mutton is unknown. Beef and
pork supply the tables, says the Home
stead Some of this is probably due
to a prejudice and yet there is no
reasonable excuse for such prejudice.
Mutton is the most nutritious meat
known and it is scarcely necessary to
say more
No other meat can take the place of
mutton in warm weather; that is, the
fresh article. We would not say one
word against the use of smoked hams
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-10-10

When the increase is all profit, it is
at first hard to see how it could be
made greater. The fact is, that these
razOr-backs, cheap as they are, repre-
sent certain amount of capital in
vested. Although pigs are often killed
for home use when less than a year
DID, yet it takes about two years to
grow hog that will dress 100 to $50
pounds.
On the other hand, it is poor pig
Of one of the improved breeds that
will not dress over 200 pounds at
nine months old. L have known pen
full to average over 300 at that age.
DO you not see where the increased
or three times the weight of pork in
less than half the time. OF course,
it represents an increased investment
and more care, but a business is not
of much account that does not re-
quire cash and care.
Those who have tried it say that
swine are very fond of Japanese sugar
cane, and that it seems to be good
food for them. It is certainly an
easy kind to raise. Wherever it has
been grown, alfalfa has been found
to be even better than clover for hog
pasture. There is no question that
an abundance of food can be easily
grown here, and that in our mild eli
mate two filters a year can be raised
as easily as one on Northern FARMS
Another thing in our favor is the
great variety of suitable food for fat
tening them which can be raised.
Pork raising has one great adj
vantage over the cattle business, that
is, returns come in so much sooner.
The question of what breed to get
for a start is not easily answered.
The black ones have been favorites
so far, Essex and Berkshire.
AS we state elsewhere, it may be
found that the Tamworth is better for
this state than either of them.
We do not see why we should i'm
port any pork products when we
could so easily raise enough to supply
the demand ourselves and keep thou
sands of dollars at home each year.

Improve Your Hogs.

Thousands of hogs are kept in this
state, which do not cost their owners
one cent from the time they are born
until they are killed for eating or
selling. 1t is difficult to make those
who grow such pigs believe that there
is more money in improved stock.
