One of the features Of the Spokane
Interstate Fair this fall will be live
stock sales day, or days. At present
it is proposed to hold an auction sale
of sheep and hogs on Friday after

have already agreed to send in stock,
and it is probable that these sales will
prove very satisfactory feature OF
the live stock show.
A number of new exhibitors will be
represented this fall in the sheep and

WAYS TO HANDLE A HOG.

The handloSt little COntrapC1On we
have is for moving hog or pig from
one place to another, says A. Homan,
in Field and Farm. 1t is a common
shipping crate mounted on an old walk
ing cultivator arch to which the wheels
are fastened the same as on Guilt
vator. The arch has to be raised near
the opposite end from the open one so
that when that end is resting on the
ground the slant is not too steep for
the hog to walk onto. 1t is easy to
get a hog into a contraption of this
sort as, it thinks it is going
to walk right through and out, and
with two handles on the exit end it is
easy to wheel the hog where wanted.
Since l witnessed platform per-
Torrance by hogs at an agriculture!
fair, | have had an increased estimate
of their intelligence and tractab1l1ty,
writes G. NJ Drake, in Farm Journal.
Two years ago l owned hog which
had acquired habit of breaking its
enclosure frequently, and coming
around the back yard of the house and
other places where hogs are not al
lowed. After having found it very
easy matter to put the hog back in the
yard, it's getting out occasioned little
disturbance to us. I would simply
take an apple or nubbin of corn, ana
let the hog smell it; then walk along
to the pen, where the animal would
readily follow.
Last summer gentleman told me
how he changed two hogs from one
field to another adjoining without TAX
ing down the fence. He coaxed them
to a place where the lower rail was
high enough for them to roll under
and, giving one of them a caressing
scratch on it's belly, soon had 1t on
broadside at the opening under the
fence. Continuing the caresses, ne
rolled the hog over, and 1t was In the
next field. A similar operation placed
the other in the field with it, and the
lob was done without blow, squeal
or a race. It is important to know at
least as much as a hog in order TO
he successful in handling it.

Hunting days are here and it's time to
oil up the gun. Inside the barrel the

the eye that looks through it at the

The day of the aforetime universally
popular double gun, by the way, is pass

Georgia and Alabama Men See Far

 Columbus, Ga, Aug. 4-(Special )-- The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index will say tomorrow in its regular weekly issue:
 Georgia and Alabama architects who were burning the midnight elec- trio current in the strenuous snrina months are now gazing with satisfac. ton at the result of their labors. bIos- soming forth as they are into beauti- ful structures which are a credit to inc minds that conceived them and to the plucky communities which laughed tbe panic to silence by investing more heavily in building operations than in years and years. An enormous amount of actual construction work Is now in progress over the two States. and while there Is no cessation in the form. ation of plans for further building. and stin heavier investments of capital. yet it Is a source of satisfaction that so much improvement is In visible. tam gible evidence.
 The week just ending was a busy and eventful one in business, construc- ton and industrial circles in Georgia and Alabama. An impetus has been given the marble industry in Alabama by announcement of the plans of a $3.000,000 company organized in New York City, which will develop large quarries in the northern part of that State. In South Alabama a $500, 900 deal in timber lands was consummated, great tracts of timber in Noble, Clarke and Marengo counties changing hands. Georgia's varied sources of agricul- tural wealth are again illustrated by the fact that the rice industry on the Sa- tilla River Is in more satisfactory shape than in years and on one plantation alone the rice crop will bring its enter prlsing owners something like $35, ,000 in cool cash. At Columbus. Ga, a contract has been closed with an emil nent New York engineer to draw plans for a $110,000 bridge. which will be the first concrete bridge ever built across the Chattahoochee River.

Hard Tlmes And HeaIth.

SI. Paul Pioneer Press.
 Hard times may not be particularly pleasant but statistics show that they are healthful in the East. The Spring field Republican quotes figures for Massachusetts to show that the death rate there goes up during periods oi prosperity and down in times of unem- ployment and reduced incomes. Thus during the time of prosperity preceding the. panic of 1857 the death rate was 1s.6 per 1000. Tn the two years fol- lowing the panic the rate went down to IA. The rate was up to PAS during the prosperious days of 1872 and went to 2l.e during the panic of 1878 and to 1s.5 in 1874. The Massachusetts death rate in 1892 was 20.s, and after the panic of 1893 1t fell to 19.1 in 1894. to 1s in 1895. 19.3 in 1896 and to 1S.1 in 1897. The theory that pros perity is not healthful seems to apply to Massachusetts, but it does not fit the conditions in Minnesota. St Paul has the distinction of being the healthi- est city in the world and 1t also claims to be the most prosperous. Tn fact, we have so little fear of the Massa- chusetts theory about good times and the death rate that we are willing to take a chance on even more prosperity than we now enjoy
