Truckers in the vicinity of Gloster
and Centreville are far advanced
wit. their work and the prospects for
good yield could not be better, and
this too despite the unfavorable
weather during the month of Febru-
ary. The worst difficulty encountered
so far has been damage to cabbage
plant by the rabbits. That section OF
the state must be somewhat short OF
the average small boy and the com
mon dog. They are the best extermii
nators yet found for rabbits. AT any
rate, it is pomised that the truckers
will reap good harvest for their
labors.

FOR
GREATER
MISSISSIPPI

A great deal has been said in this
department during the past three or
four years concerning the advantages
possessed by Mississippi in the pro-
duction of pork, but it is question
Of sufficient importance to never grow
old to those interested in the better
ment of conditions in our state. A
! series of experiments conducted by
Prof. j. w. Fox Of the Delta Expert
ment Station are of especial interest
lust at this time, showing as they do
what is possible in the way OF produc-
ing pork in Mississippi in general and
the delta section of the state in par
| ticular.
The statement has been made that
it was possible to produce pork here
at a cost ftwo and one-half cents
per pound, anl the result of the ex-
periments conducted by Prof. Fox
bear out the assertion. One hundred
and twenty two pigs were used for
the test. They were killed at uni
form age Of ten months and averaged
in the neighborhood of 135 pounds
dressed. The price received was eight
cents per. pound. The total expense
Of caring for them is itemized by
Prof. Fox as follows:
265 bushels of corn at 10 cts $1S5.5O
| 26O bushels corn of corn (esti-
mated at 65 cents) ...... l69.OO
Three tons of shorts at $1,000 15.OO
Rent on 13 1-2 acres of land at
$O.UU ol'oo
Seed used on pasture lots :. $3.50
Total expense. .$579.5O
The total weight of the pigs on foot
was approximately 2l,00O pounds,
which would make them cost 2.8 cts.
per pound to produce when they
readily sold for six cents per pound.
The net profit ON this herd was $685.
80, estimating them at pork rates, al
though five gifts were sold for breed
ing purposes and brought more. In
the cost of production, everything
possible has been taken into consid-
Grafton except the labor necessary to
tend them, even to the cost Of main
tanning the parent herd of ten sows
and boar. The corn is given at the
market price instead of the cost of
production. which was considerably
less.
Prof. Fox issues bulletin on the
subject which is well worth reading
and can be had by applying to the
A. & NJ. College. A pasture rotation
was provided, furnishing grazing ev-
cry month in the year Up to the
time the pigs were turned into the
pea field in September to be fattened,
they had eaten an average of l22
pounds of corn each and fifty pounds
Of chops. The peas were planted with
the corn and the pigs allowed to
gather both.
This experiment Is strong 'argu-
ment in favor of Mississippi raising
| her own meat, and it is to be hoped
| that large numbers of our people
! will send for this bulletin and post
themselves on the subject and profit
by the information contained there
in.

Some time since mention was made
in some of the newspapers that the
legislature had invited representa-
tives of the corporations to appear
before the bodies and present their
side of the matters in controversy
between them and the people, and
asking if the farmers had been in
vited to do likewise where their in
terests were at stake. 1t is fact that
that the representatives of the two
great organizations of farmers were
invited to appear, the Cotton Asso-
citation and the Farmers, Union, but
at the time it was not possible for
either President Hightower or Clark
to be present. This was done by con-
current resolution as in the case of
the railroad men.
The present legislature has so far
shown an inclination to grant hear
ing to the agricultural people of the
state and their representatives that
is commendable indeed, and there are
a number of important measures
pending in which they are vitality in
terested. The live stock sanitary
board is one of them, and it is to be
sincerely hoped that it will be given
careful consideration before the bod
les adjourn. 1t means something to
every person who owns live stock and
would be of incalculable benefit to
the masses of the people of the state.
The bill to prevent bringing diseased
fruit trees into the state is also of
much Importance, while the measures
to protect cotton from the weather
are deserving of as much considera-
tion at the hands Of the legislators
as anything before them at present;

DON'T LIKE TELEPHONE
 CHANGES.

New telephone receivers are being put in throughout the town, much to the annoyance of those who have phones. In the new ones taking down the transmitter calls up Central and there is no other way of calling Gen. traI or any one else. If you wish to call your nearest neighbor it must be through Central. With busy wires and many times the apparent deafness of Central this takes time or you are obliged to go yourself. So far not one of the new ones (rather old ones taken from somewhere else) have the good distinct carrying power of the old ones. It seems to be very difficult to under stand what is said. Everyone dreads to have the change made.

 Through the two immense show win dows, one on each side of the doors at either entrance, patrons and prospec- tive patrons will be able to view all the latest in the various departments with a back ground of artistically panelled oak. The big store is thoroughly up- to-date in every department and is deserving of the most liberal patron age the people of that city can give. It is a monument to Local Pride, !" for it is surely worth something to say that Bridgeport possesses the finest depart ment store in New England.
 Since the tearing down of the broad veil on Cannon street the full beauty and convenience of the wide entrance on that street and also on Fairfield av- enue, are displayed. The big plate glass windows on each street afford a splendid chance to show goods. The firm sign appears over the doors and the design of the main Sanford build ing is carried out in the big five story addition. A direct aisle extends through from Cannon street to Fairfield avenue and each entrance is equipped with latest pattern of revolving doors. Wednesday the shoe and other depart ments were installed and those who called expressed admiration at the ap- pointments.

ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.
Its Enlarged and Attractive Busi-
 ness Home.

The 18th of February was the 21st anniversary of that successful and pop ular Bridgeport firm, the Rowland Dry Goods Co.,, which was celebrated by the throwing open to the public of the main floor of the new five story addi- tion. When the building is entirely finished and the other floors are opened the Rowland Dry Goods company will have the finest and most complete store in New England.
 On Tuesday, in company with W. G.. Taylor, the capable and popular adver- Using manager for the firm, the editor of The Bee visited the new addition and took stroll through the great store. Think of it, reader, store normally employing 26O salespeople! It is a city by itself, and is always an interesting place to visit.
 In 1887 John G. Rowland came to Bridgeport and on February 19, bought the store for many years conducted by George H. Couch. This store adjoined that of w. B. Hall, which stood on the northwest corner of Cannon and Main streets, where MT Hall had been for many years. MT Rowland remained in the shoe business for seven years and was very successful. He then organ ized the present Rowland Dry Goods Company, which business moved into the store formerly occupied by MT Hall, leaving the shoe department where it has remained until the present time.
 Under MT Howland's vigorous and capable management the business hac so increased in five years time that ar addition was necessary. The year 1899 saw this built and occupied, giving two selling floors above the ground. Now there has been a further increase nec- essitating the new addition which will give three more selling floors at least, which have 60 feet front on Fairfield avenue and Cannon street.
 In time the front of the old building will be remodeled to correspond with the last addition. One feature which will add greatly to its attractiveness and also be benefit to Cannon street, will be the line of show windows which will reach from Main street to the end of the store on Cannon street.
 In the portion of the store thrown open on Wednesday was found the most complete shoe department in New Eng land and all the fixtures and appoint ments are in dark golden oak of most | attractive shade. Here also will be the books, wash goods, linens, domestics and fannels.
 From the Fairfield avenue door to the Cannon street entrance will run continuous broad aisle. met in the cen ter of the floor by another aisle coming in from the old part.
