Gompers, Secretary Frank Morrison and Vice President John Mitchell of the American Federation of Labor guilty of contempt of court in the Bucks Stove and Range case.
 The court held that the fundamen- tai issue was whether the constitu. tional agencies of government should be obeyed or defied. The fact that the defendants were officers of or ganiZed labor, said the court, lent i'm portance 10 the cause and added 10 the gravity of the situation. but, of course, was not permitted to intiu ence the result.
 "If an organization of citizens, how ever large" the court held, may disobey the mandates of the court,

The Cheapest Way to Make Pork.

The Cheapest Way to Make Pork.
You can raise hogs cheaply with
plenty of green food and a series of
three or four lots. Last fall you
could have sown one lot in rape and
one in crimson clover and in the
spring after the rape is eaten you
could put that lot in early peas, and
after the clover is eaten put that lot
in sweet potatoes, in the meantime
putting peas on a third lot later than
the first patch and Of a later variety.
The pigs can go on the early peas
soon after the clover is eaten, and by
the time they have done this lot the
later peas Will be ready for them, and
then the sweet potatoes, till time to
harden Their, off on corn. Any one
with a good stock of hogs a contrive
a series Of lots that will furnish feed
in constant succession through the
year, and can make cheap pork for
home S and for. those who buy
supplies"

WON'T MIX
Bad Food and Good Health Won't

The human stomach stands much

health if you give it bad food.
If you feed right you will feel right,

the sure road to health.

No Man in a Stovepipe Hat Ever
Seen Carrying a Baby.

"Did you ever" said Mr.. Juggle-
ton, "see a mar in a silk hat carry
ing an infant child? Never, l ven
ture to say.
"You see plenty Of fathers, young
fathers mostly, carrying their babies,
and very willing to carry them, in
deed proud Of their offspring; but
You never see such a father in a tall
hat. They may wear forty-leven 9TH
er kinds of hats-derbies, soft hats,
straw hats, or as many kinds Of caps;
but no father carrying an infant
wears a silk hat.
"Of course there can't be any
fashion decree about this. Refrain
ing from wearing a silk hat on such
occasions must be due just to instinc-
tive common sense; the baby is an
extremely informal thing, liable 10
scream or cry or wriggie Or squirm
at any minute, to bear itself in many
ways in a manner quite incompatible
with the high hat dignity; and even
young fathers sem to know this, and
so they leave their s~tovepipe tiles
on the shelf at home when they 60

know what is fitting ins%tinctively

the poor quality Of our swine. A
good pure bred pig can be bought for
$40 to $40, and one good sire will
soon improve the hogs Of a commu-
nifty almost beyond recognition.
There seems to us two great rea-
sons for our extrayagant neglect of
the useful and money making hog.
ID We are not prepared to properly
care for hogs, and (2) we do not
know how to do 1t.
We must have fenced fields and a
supply Of pure water and suitable
shelters for hogs if we are to
make them pay us. We can have the
water in most cases with very little
trouble or expense; the shelters can
be provided at a very small cost; the
fences are a bigger problem, but still
it>dces not cost so much to fence in a
hog lot or two for a beginning, and
the hogs themselves will furnish the
funds for future extensions of the
plant-that is, If they are properly
cared for, and right here is where
our great trouble lies. We have had
the idea that the hog is an animal to
turn out in the pine woods. or tAe
swamps, or the broomsedge and
blackberry fields to hustle for him
self, or the equally fallacious notion
that we can put him in a filthy pen,
allow him to be covered with lice,
feed him on .Edishwatera and high
priced corr and make pork at a
profit. Neither Of these, plans will
work.
The money making hog is not a
wild animal-he should be a pet. He
is not q creature to be raised in filth
given a chance he will keep him
self scrupulously clean. He is not
intended as food for lice, but for hui
man beings. He likes a limited
range, plenty of clean water, rich pas
lures where he can eat all he wants
and then lie in the shade. and a va
.iety of both muscle forming and fat
| producing foods so that he will be
tempted to eat still more and lay on
| flesh Of the best quality. He is to be
its ability to produce much meat at a
low cost, he is to be cared for from
his birth, kept fat and growing every
day, treated with kindness and con-
| s%ideration. made comfortable always
and tempted to eat and eat, but to
eat only of wholesome ard nutritious
foods.
Treated this way, the hog will be
in tho South, as he is elsewhere, the
farm one maker and "the farm
mortgage LITTER" and will become. as
is said elsewhere in this issue, 'the
best money crop the Southern farmer
can kave."-Progressive Farmer.
