Cost of Fulton's Runts.
ro the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star.
 Dear Slr:-I. zee an account of some runts tha were kept in a pen by Mir. Fulton. Let us do some figuring as'to the cost of that meat, or of meat raised that way. Mr. Full ton must have spent 15 minutes each morning and 15 minutes each night, or 30 minutes per day, or 15 hours per month, or 180 hours per year on two hogs, to say nothing of his time raising feed. Ninety hours, 15 cents per hour, $13.50; chops and meal, S3.25, or $16.75 in all, and at this time there was l50 pounds of pork, estir~ ated. or about 10 l 2 cents per pound.
 Now, Mr. Backwoodser, II hogs, $50 pounds, feed per hog $1.75, time (estimated) 20 hours per hog $500, for the II $52.25, or about 5 | IA cents per pound.
 Mr. Fulton did his work after business hours. That causes more talk. When do business hours be gin and when do they end on the farm? Of course am farmer but must say do not know.
 One thing more, Mir. Fulton fed his hogs the slop from his neighbor's table, but my neighbor has hogs oi his own to feed his slop to.
 Now, please do not think oppose better hogs, but think half breeds |.the best say Poland China anc razorback Then you have a hos that will hunt something to eat anc also one that you can make grow. | Again, Polk county does not pro | duce feed enough with free range t | feed what stock we have, and o course if we put our hogs up it vii take some more feed. What ar you going to do? Buy. of course or decrease your stock. Now. an man can see the difference if he cal see anything. Ross Ford.

Constipation
 Cure Free

With the first signs of constipa- ton you resort to the home methods of relief. such as hot or cold water on arising, lots of stewed fruit with your breakfast, etc, but what do you do when these fail?
 The majority then start on salts and purgative waters, then change to cathar- tic pills, etc. If you have gone through these various stages you know they were all useless, so far as permanent results go. Now you should try just once again. but try something practical and sensible. a remedy made and intended for the pur- pose you are trying to accomplish; Sucn d remedy, as thousands can testify. Is Dr. Caldwels Syrup Pepsin, which is guaranteed to be permanent in It's re- suits. Its ingredients are such that by brief use of it the stomach. and bowel muscles are trained to again do their work normally, so that in the end you ! can do away with medicines of all kinds. That it will do this Mir. G. I. Dodson Of will Mrs. S. A. Hampton of Portage. Q. To those who are still skeptical there is a way to prove these assertions with out a penny of expense: Simply send your name and address to pr. Caldwell and oh- tain a free sample bottle After using It.. if you are then convinced 1t is the rem edy you need buy a fifty cent or one dollar bottle of your druggist and con. tnue to use 1t for brief time until cured The directions are simple and the dose is small It is pleasant to the taste. does not gripe and Is promptly effective. and these statements are guaranteed or money will be refunded.

effect me one way or the other. have an ordinary upland farm and raise some hogs profitably. I have fifty acres in cultivation and have a rail fence around it that my neigh bors' hogs never break. 1 have this fifty acres divided into three fields with hog-p of cross fences. TO- tate my crops on these fields, having one field for corn, one for cotton and one for wheat and oats each year. Besides these fields, 1 have ten acres of permanent pasture. we'll set with a mixture of tame grasses and clover. My hogs have the run of this pasture through the winter and it always affords a nip of green, enough to keep the hogs in a thrifty condition, if given liberal ration of grain, and by March 10 will furnish ample grazing to carry them along with very little grain. By July 1st my small grain is harvested and the hogs are turned into this field and on the waste grain and vegetation that springs up thereon they make good gain without cost until the corn is gathered. 1 have planted COW peas in my corn at the last or next to last blowing and usually have a good crop of peas, and there is nothing that can harvest these so econom- icalIy as a bunch of good, thrifty porkers. This pea crop and the waste corn puts my hogs in prime condition for the fattening pen by December 1st, when they are fin- ished on corn.
 Since August 18th of this year, have sold hogs to the amount of $175, and TOW have five in the fattening pen thatjwill net me 1500 pounds of choice meat.
 As said in the beginning, the hog law will not effect me for keep ny hogs on the inside and will continue to do so, but in my opinion it would | be a great loss to the farmer to have | the farms fenced in a way that the grain fields cannot be pastured with | hogs, for here is where he comes in as money maker in utilizing the wastage in the gleanings of the fields.
 l would say to Mir. Fulton and others who have so much to say about razorbacks, that we have none of that kind in this part. Most of my neighbors have well bred Poland Chinas, while 1 keep only pure bred Tamworths. They are my choice because they are better grazers than the other breeds and make larger hogs and believe are health fer, but they will not make so much lard as the smaller breeds but give us better quality of bacon.
 1 believe this question is being considered as it should be, and, while 1 am sure that the outside range for hogs is worth a great deal to the average farmer, 1 think he would sustain a much greater loss in not getting the use of his pastures than Tn the loss of the outside range.
 Who will be next?
 Let the discussion go on.

AN INSTITUTION 0F
 VALUE TO MENA
The Meua Box aud Manufacturing Com many Converts Material Useless in the Past Into Real Value '
 Shipping in Carlots.

On of the most v,lu ble of all M,na's industries Is that of the Mona Box and Manufac uriug Company, winch now $ running full blast, hsvIng recently sent out carload of X material, and having more ready for the market.
 This institutlon was first or oauized and work of installation begun Tn the summer and fall oi 1907, but the panicky time, put an end 10 the movement betote |, was fully developed. List year a reorganization was effected, when K. H. Nail, one of Menas most substantial citizens, bought out all interests save that of J. L.. Hagau and M. L. Hagau. In this reorganization NJ. Nal W s made president; M. l.. flag an, vice president; and ]. l.. Hagan, manager, these tbree constituting ; the stockholders. cideo
 This institu ion IS of a de
 benefit to this city and the C 'un- try around, not only in furnishing considera ble employment 10 Ia bor, but for the further fact that II turns into value timber that ior- merlv was considered almost worthless even for fire wood, the different species of gum trees that are so plentiful all over this sec tion.
 Among the interesting ma chimes in use is a veueering ma chine that takes up a good sized log and. after dressing off the bark and rough wood, peeis off great sheets of wood. ranging, according to the wish of the op- orator, from the thickn ss of a heavy sheet of paper, up to one- fourth of an inch. These thea are cut up into any size deslred, as for fruit boxes, crates, egg cases, etc.
 The operation of this factory was hindered du.ing the late sum- mer and fall months by a lack Of water. but 1t is understood that this trouble will be obviated an- other season.
