RAISE HOGS.

For capital, labor and time required
there is no business of any kind in
Colorado tha I is paying larger profits
than raising hogs where the grower
is an expert. AS high as 900 per
cent net profit has been made in six
months under ordinary farm condi-
tions,
The possibilities of so large profits
mess men who have had no exper-
ience with hogs to go into the bus
mess.
Many of these beginners with no
knowledge have started on a large
scale and have lost money. Handling
hogs probably requires skill and ex-
perience and the beginner should
start slowly and not get these at too
great a cost.
Select any one of the four breeds
you like best-Poland-G China. Berk-
Get = good judge of hogs to select
for you from one to FIVE sows, not
more. Select good individuals ti.at
come from prolific strains on both
sides.
With careful management from II
to 40 pigs should be marketed each
year from a prolific. mature sow.
The beginner should study his hogs
closely. becoming acnuinted intimate
" with their habits, their likes and
dislikes, learning what they need and
what is bad for them.
Cheapness in production is the first
point to be mastered by the begin
ner. In his breeding he should work
for large litters, early maturity and
quality.
Starting with one sow. it will pay
to buy a mature one that has. shown
that she will produce good pigs and
raise eight to ten at a litter. She
should have two litters year.
Cheap shelter can be made with
straw. sod or boards. The beginner
can watch his small lot of hogs care
fully and learn how to make them
grow rapidly at least expense.
!: any trouble occurs it can usu-
allv be seen in a small lot of hogs
before it is past curbing. When
there is a loss it cannot be heavy and
the grower gets his experience cheap
ly.
The second year three or four Of
the best sow pigs should be saved
with their dam
The third year the grower should
have learned enough about growing
hogs to be able to handle ten sows

should know enough to slowly in
crease his hog herd to the limit of
his farm.
Cheap shelter and fences should
be used until the profits from the
hogs will pay for better ones. No
large building should be erected until
hogs have been grown several Yeas
on the farm and the breeder is sure
of what he wants and where he needs
to locate il.
Sows should be kept as long as
they produce good litters. An old
sow will usually have large pigs. a
greater number and pigs with more
vitality than an immature. growing

Reelfoot Fish Co. Dissolved.

1t being the purpose of the West
Tennessee Land Co. to enjoin any
one infringing on their rights on
Reelfoot Lake, and not wishing to
be a party to any more litigation
over Reelfoot Lake, the Reelfoot
Fish Co. have dissolved partnership
and Cancelled their lease or contract
with the West Tennessee Land Co.
This releases ]. c. Burdick, Walter
Pleasant and John Shaw, compris-
ing the Reelfoot Fish Co. from any
connection whatever with the Reel
foot Lake suits and relieves them
to great extent of the recent
trouble.
The proposition as it stands can
be stated as follows; The West
Tennessee Land Co. do not propose
to allow anyone to fish for profit in
the waters of Reelfoot Lake with
out paying a royalty for the privi-
lege. Against this the Night Riders
say that no one can fish for profit
on Reelfoot Lake if they do pay the
West Tennessee Land Co. or any
one else for the privilege. Of course
this does not in anyway concern the
right to fish for pleasure.

FROM NUMBER FIVE.

On last Tuesday night, at a late
hour when all was still, bunch Of
Night Riders visited the home of your
humble servant and asked him to
write to The Commercial and say chat
they were only people xsking for what
is right, and if Judgd darris and his
fellow colleagues WJuld withdraw
their lake law suits and all injunc-
tions and allow any man to fish on
the lake and sell his fish to whom he
pleases-that is the West Tennessee
Land Co. stop all proceedings in re-
gard to controlling the lake and its
contents; let the lake and the fish
ermen alone; let them run the bust
ness as they please; let men go on the
lake free and unbranded, to run
their business as any other branch of
business is run, that they will stack
arms.
The Captain said they whipped
Esq. Wynn, of Lake County, but that
they had a cause for it; that they had
no i'll feeling toward Tiptonville or
Lake County; they only wanted what
was just and right, and if those in
functions were withdrawn and all law
suits stopped, that they would then
stop all night ridine-that they were
only out for justice between man and
man. e. M. TATE.

SOCIOLOGICAL
Would SpirituaIize Socialism.

"Oulu 0PlrItualize socialism.
The Rev. Percy S. Grant rector of
the Church of the Ascension Episco-
paD, on Fifth avenue, New York. has
been much lin the limelight recently
because of the Sunday night meetings
conducted by his assistant, the Rev.
Alexander Irvine, to discuss socialism
with all Corners. The origin of this
movement was the thought that some
thing should be done to discover why
the workingmen no longer take part in
church services. After talking with
many Socialists DR.. Grant became con
yinced that socialism in the United
States was destined to be q peaceful
evolutionary movement in the interest
OF justice. But he says that Irvine and
himself do not propose to be bottle
holders for political partisans while
they indulge in Sunday night scraps"
What the meetings really aim to be
is an interchange of everyday expert
ences in which workingmen may learn
that the church has a warm place il
its heart for them and is willing to
deal honestly with their social needs
and rights. He wants to show that
the church of Christ has not become
"a rich mans club, where only those
things can be said from the pulpit
that are agreeable to the rich.' He
says he wants to bring the new en-
thusiasm of a real sense of human
brotherhood to revitalize some of the
self satisfied. worldly. somnolent Chris
tianity of today" He hopes to give
fresh reality to religion by showing
that it is not the creation Of priestly
caste or our Inheritance from any
given race or system of command
ments, ceremonies and dogmas based
upon any Kind of authority. but that
1t Is the fundamental need Of every life
and can be read in the experiences of
human nature"

Another Appeal. From Roosevelt.

HHotHeT appeal from hooSeveit.
President Roosevelt sent to congress,
April %, and over the heads of con-
gress to the nation. a specific pro-
gramme of legislation in line with his
previous messages and making some
additions thereto. Coming, as it does,
near the adjournment of the session,
the message is generally understood to
be virtually a campaign document. 1t
lays greatest stress upon the necessity
OF increasing the power of the fed
eral government over the great cor
poratlons engaged In interstate COM
merce. For the first time the steel
trust Is indicated as one Of the COM
binations against which the federal
power should be exerted, this in con-
nection with report made to the city
Of Boston concerning steel corpora
lions doing business with that city.
The report has been laid before the
department of justice for action. Ia
again urging that the antitrust law be
strengthened the president says that
every farsighted patriot should pro-
test first Of all against the growth In
this country of that evil thing which
is called class consciousness adding
that 'the demogogue, the sinister or
foolish Socialist visionary who strives
to arouse this feeling among the work
ing people, is no self respecting citizen
Of the republic" Still. he regards
even this as no worse than the infu-
ence exercised by the man, Of great

TELEPHONE TROUBLES.

Companies and "Hello Girls" Are Not
the Only Ones Responsible For "Line

In connection with complaints made
against the Wisconsin Telephone COM
pany at Milwaukee some interesting
data have been collated by w. f. Bur-
CESS based on elaborate tests. His
opinion is that the troubles arose
chiefly from party lines and the alb
sence Of correct methods on the part
of the users. He suggested as REM
edy that time limit be placed upon
the conversations over such phones.
While he was assisting in an inyesti-
cation of the Chicago company last
year he said that case was brought
before the hearing where teacher Of
language gave half hour lessons over

phone was of the four party line vari-

Zone Of the chief troubles in the
Milwaukee telephone situation is that
office men hire out desk room in their
Offices, with use of the telephone.
lnlS Is COlnllOu III MllWdukee, anu the
result is that there are three or four
business men in one Office who use the
same telephone. The outgoing calls in
such case are numerous, and per-
son trying to get connections on such
a line will find it always busy. People
who do not understand the situation
blame the operator and claim that she
willfully gives them the busy signal.
They then begin to complain and say
that the operator is overworked and
that she has too many telephones to
care for. The truth of the matter is
that the operator has am easier time
Of it when she can get the party than
she does when giving the busy signal.
First she is required to test the line,
and when she is informed fy click
that the line is in use she has to plug
in another jack, thus doubling the
usual operations. Is it reasonable to
expect that an operator will do more
than is absolutely necessary? The
telephone which is so much used should
