He suffered off and on for twenty
years with diseased kidneys, his worst
misery being a dragged down pain
across the back. His kidneys were

Passing Of the Razor-Back Hog.

progress in the stock industry has
asserted itself so strongly that the
razor-back hog Of Arkansas and Ok
lahoma is rapidly becoming a thing OF
the past" said a dealer at the stock
yards. The hogs Of Arkansas and Ok
lahoma until the last ten years, were
so wild that 1t was almost impossible
to corral a full carload Of them at one
time. They preferred acorns to corn.
"By introducing new breeds Of hogs
into those states the old razorback
type has been modified into much
broader, shorter and stockier animal
one that knows what to do with corn.
The name of the new type OF swine Is
mast hog 1t comes from the fact that
the animals at first sustain themselves
on acorns, the barks and roots of trees
and shrubs. They are topped Off with
corn before they are sent to market"
About 1000 Of the "nast hogs" were
marketed in Kansas City last week.
Their average weight was 140 to 175
pounds. and, as rule, they brought
so cents a hundred pounds under the
prevailing market prices. The rule of
the packers on raZorback hogs used
to be to pay 81 hundred pounds less
than for native hogs.
: at is reasonable to expect" the deal
er continued, "from the progress made
with the undesirable razorback type
in ten years, that in FIVE years more
the wooded districts OF Arkansas, Ok
lahoma and southern Missouri viii
have very desirable commercial hog.

A Weather-beaten case of these books
is today awaiting reshipment at the
society's headquarters after having
served for two years on board the
Peary Arctic clubs steamer "Roose-
velt' in quest of the North Pole. During
the long Arctic night from October IL
to March 6, Lieutenant Peary declared,
every book was read and re-read by
every member of his crew. These IL
braries, of which almost 800 have been
sent to sea this year, contain forty
three volumes of travel and adventure,
biography, reference and religion.
Bible, dictionary, atlas and Pilgrim
Progress are included with many of the
latest and most suitable works of poe
try and fiction. Half a dozen of these
books are in the Swedish, German and
Norwegian tongues. Records Of the 1oO
libraries sent thru the society as a me-
mortal to the heir of Aberdeen by the
Dowager Duchess of Aberdeen in 1870
show that many of the books dedicated
to this wandering George Gordon,
who left dukedom to follow the sea
and be swept overheard, still travel the
seas, thumbed hard in the fo'castle.
