AS the time draws near for the
selection of a Republican candi-
date for, the State Senate it be-
hooves the members of the party
to look with care over the field in
order to select the ablest and
best man. The writer of this
has never been an especial stick
Ter about county lines, but when
the county of Russell puts for
ward as her candidate a man so
splendidly equipped for the po-
sition, both naturally and by
cultivation, as Lilburn Phelps, it
does seem that the Endorsement
given him by his home county
ought to be considered most care
fully by those having the good
name of the district and the in
terest of the Commonwealth at
heart.
Too often does it happen that
members of our State Legisla-
lures display more interest in
manipulating conventions and
primary elections than in pass
ing laws to build up and develop
the resources of the state. But
with Lilburn Phelps in the State
Senate you would have a man
there the peer intellectually of
any; a man not only able to vote
intelligently but also able to ini-
tiate measures for the better
ment of the State.
Mr.. Phelps is lawyer by pro-
fession, having graduated from
the Law Department of the Uni
versity Of Louisville and has
quite an extensive general prac-
tice. He has been twice elected
County Attorney of Russell
county, defeating in his first
race Hon. ]. N. Meadows, the
the present County Atty, and in
his second race, the Hon. ]. Bry-
an Stone, now of Monticello, Ky.
Last fall the Republican of 18th
Congressional district made him
their candidate for elector, but
owing to a severe attack of fever
was unable to canvass the dis
trict as he had planned doing.

The Kind of Hog the
Colorado Market Wants.
BY II. NJ. Cottrel of the State Agricultural
College.

BY II. N. Cottrell of the State Agricultural
College.
The Colorado packer wants a
well finished, fat, blocky hog
weighing alive from 22O to 25O
pounds. During the winter months
there is good, but limited demand
for the city whole carcas trade, for
well finished hogs weighing alive
from $50 to It's pounds each.
Hogs weighing alive 22O to 25O
pounds each, will supply cured
hams weighing I6 to Is pounds,
and sides of bacon weighing 10 to
II pounds each. These weights
command a premium of rs cents
per hundred pounds above lighter
hams and sides.
Well finished hogs, only, are
wanted. The hog should be well
fattened and rounded out, the flesh
coming well down on the hooks,
and the fat on the sides should be
from l to II inches thick. In a
finished hog the flesh will be firm
and hard to the touch, and the
hair will be smooth and lustrous.
Most of the Colorado hogs
marketed in the past three years
have been unfinished and too light
in weight. A well finished hog
will dress so per cent: the average
at the Denver packing houses in
1908 was 13 per cent.
The chief trouble has been that
most Colorado farmers neglect
their hogs through the summer,
stunting them, and stunted hogs
do not finish well. An unfinished,
stunted hog weighing 80 pounds,
will dress about % per cent. Ba-
con from such hogs sells at whole
sale for one-half that of finished
hogs. The bacon from the un-
finished, light hogs, when cooked,
consists of skin and habby, soft
meat, and the consumer is dissatis-
fed.
The flesh on the live, unfinished
hog is soft and fiabby to the touch,
and the hair has a dead appear
ance. The meat from an unthrifty
hog is always soft, and that from
thin hogs is usually soft.
A common fault is uneven
quality in shipment, some hogs
being of good weight and well
fattened, and others small or thin.
Unless the demand is pressing, a
car load of mixed hogs will sell
for the price which the poorest
are worth.
Every defect in the form of the
live hog, or in his condition, lowers
the price of the marketable pro-
ducts from him, and brings a cor
responding reduction in the price
paid to the feeder. Every hog
raiser should spend a day in the
market with experts from the
stock yards and packing houses,
and learn to know how a choice
hog appears and the feel of his
flesh. The feeder should go to the
packing houses and see the differ
ence in the character of the cuts
made from well fattened and from
unfinished hogs.
