GOOD SUGGESTION TO FARMERS.
All should Raise Enough Hogs to Max
 


 The Memphis Commercial Appeal keeps standing the following valuable thought for
 FARMERS ATTENTION,
 Have you raised enough hogs to make your meat for 1910?
 Has 1t occurred to you that meat during 1909 has brought the highest priees for many years?
 The retail price in Memphis now. per pound. is ham. 21c; bacon. 2Sc; side meat. l6c. With pasture for your hogs, peas in your crib and a little corn. you can grow your meat for 3e to Sc per pound
 Hogs have within thirty days brought s 3-l0c per pound. on foot In Chicago,
 Have you ever figured how the farmer in Iowa, land worth S150 per acre Is get ting rich raising hogs? When you buy meat from his hogs, you pay the expense and a profit to the farmer; the hog buyer. the rail- road to Chicago, the packing house. the railroad to Memphis. the middleman. the railroad to your town and the country mer- chant with whom you deal Can any coun- try stand this drain Can any people prosper and pay sc high for their meat 1? Recently a car of hogs grown in Shelby County. was shipped to St. Louis. sold for SS. 05 per cwt. and brought tho farmer $l.232. Prior tO. 1860 the South raised her hogs. Is there any good reason why you can not do 1t now?
 Examine your meat bills for 1908 and set to thinking.

ITALIANS FoR TEXAS.
Plan for Establishments of ThousanaA

pIax, for Establishment of Thou6anda
 of CoIoufnts in Lone star state. Houston Dispatch to New York Her
 ald.
 Baron A. Benedetti fAitomonte. one of the principal promoterssof a move ment to bring European eolonists fo Texas. Is about to go abroad in cop nection with this enterprise. He s enthusiastic over the agricultural re- sources of Texas. and has no doubt or the success of his project for estab- fishing colonies in the State.
 The Italian farmer" said Baron d'Altomonte, "if selected with care. will be found to be the best farmer in the world. He is hard working. so- Der. knows his work perfectly well. and has a natural love for the soil. Every farmer in Italy has 0 side trade as well, and when not engaged on his farm is at work at his trade. / There are many farmers in Italy who are bootmakers. masons, carpenters. wood carvers. tinsmiths. blacksmiths, &c., and very good ones, too. The farmer does not drink. rarely mixes in poll tics. and his first attention Is given to his farm"
 DO you expect to find many farm. CTS in Italy who are willing to come to Texas?" the baron was asked
 ''Yes. of course. There Is a peculiar condition of affairs existing in Italy which makes my work an easy one. The farming lands of Italy are owned in very large part by great landlords who. let them out to tenants. These tenants pay very high rent. and af- ter this rent and the taxes imposed by the government are paid scarcely anything remains for the tenant above his living.
 T am sure they will listen to me. The proposition present Is sound and conservative. and they will be glad of the opportunity to invest their lit- tie capital in Texas. with the pros- pect of soon becoming independent and the owners of the land they culti. vate. They can find no greater op- , portunity than tha4 presented in Tex as.
 T am very enthusiastic over these Texas lands. Last week visited the Italian settlement at Dickinson. where 1 about 200 Slcilian families have been living from six to ten years. They are all prosperous The lands which they bought on installments were paid for in full within two or three years. and they are making from $50 to e200 per acre growing strawberries. Every one of them has a nice little bank ac- count. every one is happy. and all are glad to have settled In Texas-'

The anti-amenders in Alabama are having great difficulty in keeping the amenders steadfast to the Tick -log. so to say. Conner Is lodging by de- claring that he will pardon anybody arrested for making wine for home consumption: others promise . law exempting the homemade tipple, while still others declare 1t was mistake to Include the home in the prohibition measure at all. According to Prohibi- tons own creed the object of that party Is to wipe out and exterainate from the face of the earth every kind and quality of "the vile" stuff. It appears therefore that some Alabama prohibs have got politics mixed with their morals---Chattanooga Times.

 The admirers of Governor Conner must be proud to be of his following to look upcn him as their political prophet and as their Ideal of states
 Is there in the annals of this coun. try an incident comparable tn vulgar grossness, vileness and tndecency to Corners action. while the governor ot Alabama in stating from the musings that "those of you who would not now support me are dirty skunks."
 The thing Is incredible. when we first saw the publication we took It for granted that 1t was Il mere fabrication, a vile islander. We could not imagine that a governor of q great state. rats. ed to an exalted position of honor and trust by the people could use language that would disgrace a common loafer on inc street, or possess instincts that would ever warrant such an expression regarding his fellow men.
 But 1t seems that Governor Conner used the expression quoted. lie mas made no denial or explanation oI 1t, nor have any of his following. Then IT U be a fact. can a person ike that nave a respectable. self respecting follow ing? VIII decent citizens accept such a one as a leader? Will moral Chris- tian people aftlliate with Q person whe thus proclaims himself boor7
 If a majority of citizens of Alaoama have any standard of respectabiiity or sense of decency, B. D. Conner will new CT again be elevated to any public sta ton of honor or trust.
