Partly because of the impetus
given by the construction of the
Panama canal and partly by reason
of the inability of railroads to
handle ali the crops of wheat, corn
cotton ard other products, water
transportation is rapidly becoming
popular again. This Is true the
country over, as we'll as, and es-
pecially in the Columbia Valley
where great transportation interests
are watching the work on the Cello
Canal and where an increasing COM
merce is Icing built up by the boat
lines. For many years it was some
what in disfavor, but if the present
feeling lasts it will not he many
years before the deep waterways
are developed, new canals construct
ed and present ones enlarged.

The importance Of the hog as a
mortgafe litter has never been more
evident than now. The hog market
at Portland has advanced recently
from s7.75 to sS.l5 per 100 pounds
for suitable fat hogs and packers
say the supply is practically nil.
The hog raising industry is one Of
the most lucrative to which the
farmers of the Northwest can turn
their attention. Oregon and Wash
ington need more hogs and offer
good prices to growers. Figures
here are higher than in the Chicago
market and there is every induce
ment for more extensive hog rails

This year / have on my farm corn
that will make 80 bushels to the
acre. Our crops generally this
season are good and farmers are
very prosperous. l have been very
fortunate in raising hogs not to lose
many by sickness. This sea*on we
have had sickness in my neighbour
hood and many farmers met with
losses. | do not know whether |
have struck something that is a pre-
ventive or not, but so far it has
worked well. | just buy the COM
mon soft coal, which | scatter over
the ground where they can get at
it, and they eat at it all the time.
[ have fed them several tons of coal
in this way and my hogs seem to be
perfectly healthy. l believe that if
we would look after our hogs a little
mere carefully and feed them GER
tain things we would meet with
fewer losses"

ALFALFA AND HOGS

The Drovers' Telegram tells of a
little more than $1,000 that was
paid at the Kansas City stock yards
for a car load of hogs raised on al
falfa by A. S. Frydendall, a farm
err living near Bellaire, Kan. These
hogs were less than nine months
old. and had been run all summer
on the alfalfa, getting very little
corn until they were put on full
feed short time before marketing.
Mr.. Frydendall came to Kansas
direct from Denmark, a poor man
IS yeals ago. He worked around
his present neighborhood as farm
hand for several years and then
bought farm on time. He paid
for that and bought and paid for a
second quarter section, and now
owns 800 acres, assessed at ST. 900.
"I have found hog-raising and
farming in Smith county very pro-
ftable'' said Mr.. Frydendall. Il
have on my farm 80 acres OF alfalfa.
I manage to almost raise my hogs
On that. 1t cbeapens the cost and

MONEY IN BEES

A pleasant and profitable occupa-
ton for a woman living in the
country is Bookkeeping. One re-
quires a small capital for this busi-
ness; also one needs to study enough
to understand the habits and needs
Of the bees so as to care for them
properly and obtain the best results.
1t means thought and painstaking,
but it also means success. One
woman who keeps bees says that
her income is now twelve hundred
a year, and started with two hives.

a thorough searching, if not read

To Appear in the Presley Reeves

was informed on Monday by Magis-
trate :Moorer, before whom the pre-
liminary examination Of the five men
charged with the murder Of Presley
Reeves will be held, that he had is
sued subpoenas for approximately a
half hundred witnesses.
The hearing, because of the volu-
minous testimony to be taken, will
last two or three days, probably long
er. Two of the men charged with
the killing of Reeves have retained
Mr.. Jones, a lawyer of Branchville.
to represent them, and it IS probable
that additional council will be em-
ployed to conduct the defence.
The unusual interest, which has
been manifested since the arrest
were made, is creeping higher, and
it now looks as though record
breaking crowd will attend the first
act of the most sensational trial in
Dorchester county's history.

BOWMAN HAPPENINGS.
New Hotel, Fertilizer Movement
Slow, and Other News.

Bowman, Feb. Special: The
recent cold spell proved to be more
disastrous to Vegetation In general
than at first supposed. Garden veg
etables suffered to the extent of a
total loss in number Of instances,
but peas and cabbage being killed
outright. The favorable weather of
the past month, which was quite un-
usual for the time of year, FASTENED
the growth Of vegetation to such a
degree that it was unable to stand
the severe cold change with safety.
The oat crop appears to have suf-
fered to some extent in places, but
no serious apprehension is felt for
the safety of the crop from the re-
cent cold. The temperature ran
down to IA degrees on Sunday and
Monday morning, which is lower
than this section has registered for
several years.
Farm operations are well under
way, considerable plowing already
done. Labor seems to be more plen-
tiful and plow hands not so hard
to secure as in former years. In
dications point to a reduction in cot
ton acreage and more attention to
grain crops, hay, etc.
The fertilizer business seems to be
dragging rather slowly, as compared
with former years, and it will have
to get a-mile-a-minute" move on it,
so to speak, to anything like catch
up with the normal amount used
for several years back.

ing nine pounds and measuring q
inches in circumference. 1t was

jury meets with almost universal

ly sympathiZe with the young man.
This is a case where whiskey and
