GROWING BACON HOGS.

Clover pasture greatly reduces the
cost of feed, and stimulates greater
growth and vigor IN the pigs than is
possible to secure in confinement.
The pigs should not be had to come
in early spring and disposed of in
November. At seven months they
can be made ito weigh between 180
and 200 pounds. Only breeding stock
should be kept through the winter.
A bacon breed should be kept in
preference to lard breed for the
reason that in the absence OF corr
first class lard hos cannot be pro-
duced, while the feed that produces
the choicest bacon can be grown in
abundance barley, peas, clover,
roots, etc.

the lard breeds and take better to

than three cents mile.
"The commission has never taken
any action toward reducing passen-
ger fares, as the Virginia commission
did, because the LEGISLATURE has
shown q disposition. hot to do SO, pre-
ferring not to hamper the roads and
wanting to encourage in every way
better facilities instead. But if the
railroads show disposition to be o.
erbearing and unreasonable the COM
mission may assert its authority not
only to reduce fares but may also
withdraw its support from the rules
it has adopted to protect the roads.
There Is no justice IN the roads col
lecting demurrage for failure to un-
load cars if they are unwilling to pay
for failureto furnish cars within a
reasonable time. Shippers all over
tie State have been suffering greatly
in the past few years on account of
inability to get cars OH time.
There is substantial reason to be-
Iieve that the precipitation of the
fight now on was not due to over
zealousncss ON the part of local cou,l-
sci. Thecasc has been directed from
the beginning by General Counsel
Wilcox of the Coast Line, and there
is evident that the whole legal de-
partment Of the road is backing up
the fight,
The case was insignificant enough
looking in the beginning. Pearl Cross

brought action in a magistrates court
for .$25 damages and $50 penalty for
80 days failure to furnish him cars
for the shipment of lumber. Tie
magistrate gave judgment in his IA
.vor for the full amount, sos. The
Coast Line appealed agreeing to pay
the damage judgment of $25 but re-
sisting the demurrage. Judge Dantz-
Ter sustained the position of the road
The best evidence of the far reach
ing effect of the decision is to be had
from the exact language of the
grounds Of appeal, all of which we're
sustained:-
ss1.-Beeause any rule Of the rail
road commission prescribing any pen
atty for not placing cars upon writ
ten demand of shipper is illegal and
unconstitutional whether the said
railroad commission claims It's author
ity from legislative grant or other
wise.
ss2.-Because any regulation of.
the railroad commission prescribing
a penalty is in itself an exercise ofi
legislation whichsis not and cannot be,
delegated to said commission
