Raise More Hogs.


ing houses for Fort Worth are
encouraging. Every new pack
ing house means thousands of
dollars weekly added to Fort
Worth's payroll. 1t means thOus-
ands of dollars daily additional to
live stock raisers of Texas. 1t
means more shipments for the
railroads, more competition
among buyers, more commits
sion houses, more business gen
orally in every department of
Fort Worth's big stock yards.
Yet the most competent pack
ing house ever devised would be
a failure in Fort Worth if it did
not have a steady supply of hogs.
There isn't a single successful
packing house in the United
States where cattle alone are
slaughtered. Every pack G
house from the smallest to the
largest wants hogs. In fact
they must have hogs in order to
succeed.
More important to Fort Worth,
more important to Texas, than
the addition of any number of
packing houses to Fort Worth,
would be an increase in the hog
supply of Texas until receipts of
hogs at the Fort Worth market
exceed 100000 yearly. There
are a dozen towns in the United
States, none so ideally situated
for live stock center as Fort
Worth, where the annual receipts
exceed 100000. But at Fort
Worth this year total receipts do
not promise over 100000,
True, last year receipts were
under 100000, and a gain of l00,-
000is encouraging, but too large
percentage of the gain this
year has come from Oklahoma.
Texas neither deserves the
credit for it nor, what is more
important, gets the money out of
it.
Until the vast majority of
Texas agricultural population
realizes the importance and value
of the hog there will always be a
cry about the boil weevil or the
worm, or the spinners' trust, or
the cotton exchange spectators.
And yet so few as fifty hogs on
every farm in the state would
make Texas Independent of any
com bination which may exist to
control the price of the state 5
leading staple.
The hog is cheap to raise, A
COW, in a year, produces a calf
which, after three years may
fetch $50. But a brood SOW will
raise two litters of a half dozen
each in a year and these pigs at
the end Of one year will sell for
500 on the farm where they are
raised.
The mathematics of this is as
old as the hog raising business,
1t has been tested and proven a
hundred times.
Less than twenty years ago the
middle west found in the hog the
greatest mortgage litter evel
discovered and since then the
middle west has produced most
of the pork, bacon and hams We
eat.
Texas raises food for hogs
more cheaply than it can be rails
ed anywhere else in the United
States. Alfalfa and forage crop,
will finish hogs as well as Iowa
corn. Proof of this may be haC
from a hundred farms in Hale o.
Lubbock counties.
The hog business is not sine
cure. 1t has its good years an'
bad years. But year in and yea
out it is steady, profitable bust
ness even for those who devot
their time to nothing else. Tn

Women Fishermen.

On the coast of Holland, Belgium
and Northern France the fisherwomen
are familiar sight. with their great
hand nets and quaint costumes Many
of the towns have distinctive costumes
by which their women can be recog-
nlzed anywhere. Those of Mana-Kirke.
near Ostend, wear trousers and loose
blouses, while their heads and Shout
ders are covered by shawls. They
carry their nets into the sea and scoop
up vast quantities of shrimps and
prawns, with an occasional crab or
lobster and many small fish. They
often wade out till the water is up to
their necks, and they remain for hours
at a time in water above their knees,
rarely returning until their baskets
are full.

FOR AUTUMN WEAR
HEAVIER DRESS MATERIALS DIS
TINcTLY ADVISORY.
Foulards and VoiIes Seem to Fill the
Bill Better Than the Lighter
Stuffs - Come in All
Shades of CoIors.

When replenishing the wardrobe at
this time of year, it is we'll to select
materials that will not be too thin to
wear as autumn days approach.
Usually the linens-the coat and
skirt suit and the jumper dress-are-
still fit to wear. while the frocks that
seem to suffer most in summer time
are the sheer lawns and dimities that
are used for afternoon festivities and
Sunday-go-to-meeting occasions.
Ones wardrobe usually contains
three or four of these gowns, and they
are the most charming and dainty
things imaginable, but toward Septem-
Der there grows need for something
fresh, something appropriate for after
Rooms and evenings that seems to
breathe of autumn.
In selecting such a gown choose
material that is soft, yet not so pliable
that it is almost impossible for the
home dressmaker to manage.
A good material for such a gown is
foulard, or one might use crepe
foulard or wolfe. OF course, the very
newest dresses are of satin, but, while
this may rot be eXpensive-for lib
erty satin is procurable for IS cents a
yard-the material is so narrow that
it requires a great deal to make even
the simplest dress.
Voiles, on the other hand. are quite
possible, and we have eolie1ne and
many materials which are called by
various names, each interesting in its
own way.
We are all familiar with eolienne.
1T is material of silk with a cord eff
feet running across the breadth of the
goods. Its prices range from one to
two dollars the yard and it measures
as inches in width. Besides the plain
eolenne tore are variations of the
same. Some are woven with q silk
diagonal. while others have a broken
line. All Of the eoliennes are soft and
nliable and make up beautifully in the
present mode. The eolienne with
fancy designs costs two dollars the
yard.
or voiles there are three varieties:
silk, wool and cotton. Cotton wolfe
is appropriate only for summer wear,
but wool wolfe is the material that is
always worth buying, for it wears per-
fectiy and always looks well. 1t comes
plain and with a Swallowed check, and
usually costs from 81 to $3.50 the
Yard. Plain wool voile may be pur-
chased for as little as rs cents the
yard, and it measures from 40 to 46
inches. Noiles must be made up over
silk, and usually taffeta is best for
the purpose.
Silk voiles are thin and soft and
smooth to the touch. They may be
found in two or three qualities, rang
ing from one to three dollars per
yard. There is a chiffon wolfe which
is very fine and is almost as thin as
chiffon. This sometimes has a design

WHEN YOU GET RICH.
Only Then Are You Appreciated fer
Your True Worth.

Upton Sinclair, the novelist, was
talking about wealth at Lake Pla-
cid
1T is pleasant to be rich" he said
Nobody can deny that Many of the
pleasures of wealth, though, are false
and mistaken ones.
When l was making my living by
the composition Of blood and thun-
der tales for boys-and l could turn
out my 5000 words a day l knew a
pale, bent, ink-stained old chap who
wrote love stories.
His stories did not pay; he was
very poor; but an aunt died. and sud
denly the old fellow found himself a
millionaire.
He saw me one afternoon on Broad
way. He stopped his red car and we
chatted about old times
And is it pleasant to be rich?
asked.
Yes, it is he answered, as he
lighted a Vuelto Abajos and handed
me another. And do you know what
is the pleasantest thing about it? You
have an opportunity to make real
friends, friends who can understand
you. You get at last to know people
capable of esteeming you for your own
qualities alone. You find, sir, that
you are at last appreciated

VeIvet-Faced Fabrics.

Because Of it's soft and clinging
characteristics, velvet and velveteens
are suddenly coming into vogue, espe-
cially for the more elaborate order OF
tailormades, although they will be
worn in short severe suits during the
winter by girls who are within sew
eral years of making their initial bow
to society. For afternoon reception
costumes, those in chiffon and Lyons
velvet will, of course, have the long
skirt slightly trimmed with chenille,
jet or gold bullion, and coats of any
length from sc to So inches, usually
bearing directoire earmarks, and al
ways with full-length sleeves. When
velvet is employed solely as a ma
terial for a street suit, it's trimming
will be simpler and of the satin band
or fancy braid order, as was the case
last season with the comparatively few
costumes worn Of that fabric.

LEST HE FORGET.
No Roseate Postcard Without Its
Thorn of Suggestion.

Harold's mother-we'll call him Har-
old-went abroad month ago, leav-
ing Harold under the somewhat I'M
substantial control of his elder sisters
In spite of the itemized directions
with which even unto the moment of
final leave-taking she had not ceased
to lombard him, Harold's mother was
far from sure that her efforts would
have any lasting effect.
Her voyage was more or less dis
turbed by these doubts, but before
she landed on the other side she had
determined on a course of action. Like
all small boys, Harold is most COW
etous of picture postcards and had
looked forward to a harvest from his
mothers trip. He got it.
Every day she sent at least one
card. And whatever else it bore in the
way of inscription, there was not one

Socialism in Japan.

Socialism has no footing in this
country as yet, nor is there any indi-
cation that 1t will gain a footing in
the near future at all events. Prior to
the war with Russia a small coterie
of men calling themselves socialists
argued vehemently against the open
ing of hostilities and published a
newspaper organ to propagate their
creed. But they soon dwindled into
insignificance, and although period
ical of so-called socialist views con-
tinues to be published it has no in
duence, nor does it serve any purpose,
apparently, except to furnish material
for occasional comment on the part of

PopuIOus China.

The population of the Chinese en-
rire is largely matter Of estimate
There has never been such census Of
the empire as that which is
taken every decade in this country.
But the estimate of the Almanach de
Gotha for 1900 may be taken as fairly
reliable. According to that estimate,
the population of the empire is, in
round numbers, about 460,O00O00. 1t
is probably safe to say that if the
human beings on earth were stood up
in line every fourth one would be a
Chinaman.
