PROFITS IN RAISING PORK.

Del1eVcT III the pIOlllS OF HOg raising.
He quite frequently recommends the
pig as a profit maker, but it is not
the razorback, but rather cross be-
tween the native and some improved
breed. He says:
1T is about time this methodical
newspaper was making another allu-
sion to hogs and the profit there is
and can be made in their production
In Florida. We note that the prices
on the farms Of the northwest, or
perhaps it would be more correct to
say at the railroad stations, are COM
fortably about and above So per hun
dred. That is about the figure that
can be had Tor good smooth hogs at
stations in Florida, though we do
not have the we'll organized and per-
manent and unswampable markets
those wiser people and better manag-
ers have in the more northerly sec
ton Of the country.
Translated into argumentative and
persuasive terms, this means that a
snug, smooth hog, a year old, in good
condition, weighing 200 pounds and
costing it's owner ABOUT 92 in cash and
about as much in labor, would cash
in for twelve good, hard dollars. Now
that looks like the farmer who makes
speciality of breeding and fattening
swine would make easy money out
OF the business. 1t is true the bust
ness requires some industry, pains
and system, the pig, to be fit candi-
date for twelve dollars in the market
must be we'll bred, that is to say, at
least belong half to some approved
pure strain of blood-preferably the
Berkshire, Poland or Jersey Red, in
about the order named.
Having secured litter of such pigs
or several itters-the Florida far
nler should tightly enclose a sufficient
pasture, with one or two cross fences,
dividing the land SO it can be plant
ed in suitable feed for pasture and
the swine turned from one to the
other as occasion may require. Plen-
ty of fresh and pure water should be
provided SO the animals can drink at
will. While very young the pigs
should be fed swill made from cooked
meal, bran, grits, sweet potatoes and
such vegetables as may be handy.
They should always have as much as
they will clean up twice day, poured
into troughs, cleaned out at least as
often as once per day. AS soon as
large enough they should be fed green
forage stuff and vegetables. Later
pastured on peanuts and chufas, fed
OTIS, corn, cane and such other stuff
oats, corn, cane and such other stuff
as may be produced on the farm. At
ten to twelve months old they will
weigh two hundred pounds each and
be smooth and even lot.
They can be sold then at $12 each,
or about one hundred dollars a wagon
load, and he is rather poor speci-
men Of a Florida farmer who cannot
manage-after a year or two of ex-
perlence and drill and preparation
to turn off a hundred such pigs a |
year. The total cost of producing

ton June 8, 1S47. James A. Saxton. her
father, was an intellectual and progressive
business man and banker; his wife a lady
or extraordinary culture and refinement
IDA Saxton was reared in home of COM
tort and ease. After attending Canton
schools she was pupil at private school
at Delhi, N. Y. Later she went to Cleve-
land academy and finished her education
at Brook Hall Seminary, Medina, Pa, where
she spent three years.
James Saxton, the father, when asked
for the hand of the daughter by young Nc
Kinley said:
You are the only man I have ever
known to whom l would intrust my daugh-
ter
After an eastern trip. including Wash
ington, and a short time of boarding the
Mckfnleys purchased the home on North
Market street, which in later years became
Famous as the Mckinley cottage. 1t was
during their short sojourn in this home
hallowed to them by so many sorrows, that
Mrs. McKinleys health broke down under
the burden of grief that was theirs. There
were born to them two daughters-Katie
on Christmas day of 1871, and Ida, on April
l, 1873. But the heartstrings of the mothers
tenderest love were broken when Ida passed
away in August 1873. Mrs. McKinleys
mother died the month before the little one
had seen the light of day. Katie, the first
born lived for three and half years.
Her life as the wife Of William Mckinley
was IIlost nappy ana devoted one. They
never kept house while he was in Con-
gress because of her invalid state. She,
however desired to be with him as much
as possible, and spent much time in Wash
ington. On his campaign tours while he
was congressman, spvernor and President
she journeyed with him as far practi-
cable.
After Gov. Mckinley's term of office end
ed they came to Canton in January, 1896,
in time to celebrate their silver wedding
in the first home of their early married life.
This wedding anniversary was the begin
ming of a year and two months residence
in Canton, during which time Mr.. Nc
Kinley was nominated and elected Presi-
dent of the United States.
At Washington, as the first lady of the
land, she was unable to act as hostess at
brilliant social functions.

dianapolis he goes to Lansing, Mich, where
he will deliver an address on May 81 at the
celebration of the f1ftieth anniversary of
the founding Of Michigan Agricultural Col
lege, which was the first institution of its
kind established in the United States. He
will return next Saturday.
Half Her Life an Invalid.
Much has been published about Mrs.
Mckinley since her illness took a critical
been made very familiar to the nation by
the fact that more than half Of it was a
period of invalidsm. Through all this, how
ever, she showed a firm and unwavering
belief in the career of her husband, and
by her cheering words, in spite of personal
Affections, encouraged him when there was
darkness at hand.
She believed that his star of destiny
would never set until he had become Presi-
dent of this land, and for more than a
quarter of century cherished that belief
until her hopes were realized.
After President Mckinley's death she
expressed a desire to join him, and prayed
day by day that she might die. Later she
frequently told friends she desired to live
until the completion of the Mckinley maui
solemn which is the gift of the nation and
which is to be dedicated on Monument Hill
September 80 next.

Surgeon General Rixey left here at 5:33
o'clock for Washington. He will Join the
President on his trip to Indianapolis and
Lansing Thursday and Friday. There Is a
probability that Vice President Fairbanks
may attend the obsequies, and if the plans
of the President will permit he may arrange
to stop here to pay homage to the wife Of
his predecessor in the White House Sec
rotary Cortelyou will remain until after
the funeral.
Yesterday many messages of condo
lence were received by Mrs. Barber, the
surviving sister of Mrs. Mckinley, including
words from President Roosevelt, Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks and others.
An incident of the day was the canceling

soon as the death of Mrs. Mckinley was
announced
The only surviving sister of Mrs McKin-
ley is Mrs. Mary Barber of this city. There
is no surviving brother. On thesaate Presi-

The News in Washington.
While little hope was entertained here for
her recovery, the news of the death of Mrs.
Mckinley caused profound sorrow in the
national capital, where she so long made
her home while her husband was a member
Of Congress and later President. President
Roosevelt was informed of her death short
ly after o'clock. He Immediately announc-
ed that he would leave for Canton Tuesday
night to attend the funeral.
Secretary Root and Secretary of Agricul
ture Wilson, the only members of the cabi
net who served under President Mckinley,
and Rev. DR.. Frank NJ. Bristol of Metropol-
itan Methodist Episcopal Church, who was
the Mckinleys pastor, were deeply touched.

The transition from life
to death was so peaceful and grad
ual that it was with difficulty that
the vigilant physicians and attend
ants noted when dissolution came.
There was no struggle, no pain.
Since last Tuesday Mrs. Mckinley
never knew OF the efforts made for
days to prolong her life, nor OF the
solicitous hope against hope OF her
sister, Mrs. Barber, and other rela-
tives and friends for her recovery.
CANTON, Ohio, May 27.-Mrs. William
Mckinley passed from an unconscious
state into eternal sleep at her home at
1903 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Her dis
solution was without tinge of pain with
out the least struggle and void OF any indi-
cation that she knew of anything transpir-
ing about her.
With the exception of short periods of
semi-consciousness at three intervals, she
had been insensible since last Tuesday.
She showed such remarkable vitality, how
ever, and the stimulants and concentrated
nourishment acted so effectively that her
demise was prolonged nearly two days in
the hope against any probable ground for
hope that she might withstand the attack
and recover her normal health.
All of Saturday night her watchers ex-
pected death would occur. AT O'Clock
Sunday morning il was thought by her
attendants for a while that dissolution had
set in but she responded to treatment and
rallied.
A ceaseless vigil was kept by relatives

Scores of kilograms of sympathy were
sent to Mrs. Mckineys sister, Mrs. Barber,
by prominent government officials dipIo-

Kinley when she was the first lady of the
land. President Roosevelt and members of
the cabinet sent words Of coincidence as
soon as they learned Of her death.
Her Pastors Tribute.
Rev. DR.. Bristol. Mrs. McKinleys pastor,
who will be unable to attend the funeral,
in speaking of the death Of Mrs Mckinley
in his sermon last night, said
1.-The death of Mrs. Mckinley will touch
very tender chord of feeling and regret
in every American heart No woman has
ever occupied warmer place in the affec-
ton and generation of our people. The I'M
speakable sorrow of her life admitted her
into the most holy places of the sanctuary
of nations sympathy. Her ne, asso-
ciated with that of her illustrious husband,
will ever be enshrined in the most hallowed
memory of her country. The ideal charm
and beauty Of that married life can never
be effaced from our admiration. The spot
less love and undying chivalry of William
Mckinley and the sweet, pathetic devotion
of that noble wife have passed into the
most sacred traditions of American domes-
tic life. A new glory and sanctity must
evermore attach to that revered White
House since William Mckinley and the wife
who was the idol of his heart and the joy
of his eyes and the inspiration of his life
made that mansion their home"

A FINE TYPE OF WOMAN.
Commissioner Vests Tribute to Mrs.
Mckinley

Commissioner West made the following
expression Of sympathy today or the death
of Mrs Mckinley:
Mrs. Mckinley was a fine type of the
American woman. She was in every sense
helpmeet for her husband. symplthizing
with him in his defeats and rejoicing in his
triumphs and at all times aiding him by
her wise counsel
1T was my good fortune to accompany
the late President Mckinley to the Pacific
coast at the time that Mrs: Mckinley was
dangerously i'll in San Francisco on that
trip she manifested the highest degree of
and self-sacrifice. q,
IF during President McKinley's occu.
pancy of the White House she had been In
good health she would have given 70 bis
administration social brilliance, but the
memory of her as a loving, devoted wife
is even more to be priced than ann emf
nence she might have reached az a social
leader"
