HOG LAW LETTERS

Mr.. EdltOr:-
As you have granted the priv
lege to anyone who wishes to
speak for nr against the hog law,
| will give a few of my many
reasons against it. | oppose the
hog law because there are so
many poor people who have no
land and without this law they
can raise their meat, while if we
had the hog law they would have
to keep their hogs up in a pen
and the feed that they would eat
would cost more than the hogs
would be worth. I have been
told that in Hog Law States
where they keep their hogs up
the year round, that a hog will
eat 35 bushels of corn in a year,
and if you think you will know
that it would not take less than
that, then if it takes that much
and corn is Toe per bushels, the
corn would cost S26. %. and a
one year old it would be a good
hog that would weigh 300 pounds
then pork at Topper pound would
give you $21. worth of meat and
you see that leaves us So. % in
the hole. And we who have
land to make pastures would
have to go to extra expense to
make a we'll that would overflow
or make a pool, and in a dry year
like 1904-05 our pool would go
dry. Some would say that it is
a great expense to keep up our
fences we'll we have them and
it is not such an expense TO
keep them up now. To all who
have the right to vote think this
matter over before you cast your
ballot. AS it is. we can raise our
meat with but little expense and
I am willing to let well enough
alone. Let's hear from some
one else on the subject.
Yours against Hog Law,
Lee Cook.

Mr.. Editor
thought | would write again
on this hog law proposition in
answer to some questions asked
me. First, they say it will be a
cheaper fence. Well, the renter
doesn't have to build fence, and
any industrious farmer can build
a quarter of mile of fence each
year and that will keep any farm
in this county fenced. In this
part the land owners have
sold their timber and put the
money in the bank. These same
fellows used to have the woods
full of hogs, and now he has
neither timber nor hogs and
wants to vote a stock law on his
neighbor that will be detrimen-
tai to him. Remember if this is
voted on us it is on us to stay,
1t will be hard to repeal no mat
ter how much we dis ike it,
Now, will admit that some
parts would be as we'll with
this law as without it, but it is q
step to general stock law. They
say to make 5 or 10 acre pasture
for our hogs. The land owners
can do that, but is he going tc
make a 10 acre pasture for his
renter? No, he will build for
him a four square pen in the

corner Of his yard.
Mr.. Mitchell said that it would
be q mutual benefit for landlord
and renter. Don't let him catch
you on a trap like that. That law
would make you sell all your
sheep and geese. The thing we
need in this country is fence
law that will make every man
build lawful fence. l don't
want the fun of feeding my hogs
twice a day all the year when
they can get their bread and
water out side. Mr.. Mitchell, if
you have not got a range, we
don't object to you putting up
your hogs, but don't vote it on US
who have a range.
Yours against hog law,
J. w. Andrews.

Dear Editor:

If you will allow space | Will
speak a word to the hog question,
as | notice in the grand old Pic.
you are to settle the question as
to hog liberties on the 10Th or
July.
don't live in the county or
state and have never owned but
one hog in ten years, and that
was a pig. ="
But | used to be a citizen OF
Nevada and was raised on razor
back" So | feel an interest in
the pine hill rooters' as we'll as
the ones who grow them.
Dear Citizens, i have had the
privilege the past four years of
travelling over the best half of
Texas, and the rich black land
portions raise hogs like you read
about. | used to be skeptical
when | saw the picture of a fat
hog but l have found the sure
enough hog out here,
While | am not farming, but
will always love the farm life, |
naturally ask questions as | go,
and the Texas farmer says it is
as cheap to put fine Dlooded
pig in close quarters-wlth
possibly an acre of clover or be-
muda pasture for them to run on,
to make him weigh 300 lbs at l
wear old as it is for the Arkansas
farmer to fatten the razor back
after It is 2 years old.
IF this be true, and | am per-
suadeQ it is. | trust the citizens
of old Nevada will pass law that
will force them to get a better
stock, and fewer OF them, and
grow them quicker, and have
more meat, and better quality,
and less diseases, and beside
having that old worry" of fix
ing water gaps. stopping holes
in the fence, having to chase
them miles in the field, spending
days of exposure in winter roam
ing the forests looking after odd
Betsy and the little ones. "
| honestly believe with the
past experience on the Arkansas
farm and with what information
l have gathered in Texas the
Arkansas farmer will have more
satisfaction raising his meat
under the hog law.
The only worry and expense
will be the change.
By the time you raise one pen
of 6 hogs-Poland Chinas to get
so fat that they must lie down to
eat, and the fat closes the eyes
and you have to make vat to
scald them in and call the neigh
bcrs in to handle them and then
90 get extra cans for your lard
and you eat a few vegetable
dinners seasoned with such truck
you will become friendly with
Hog Law"
Vanalstyne. town of 1900,
where | have lived, was wholly
supplied with country lard. How
is this?
Mr. Editor, cast my vote for
the Hog Law.
May information prove a bless
ing to Dear old Nevada.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, April 5.-The speculation in
stocks did not fully maintain Its strong tone
throughout the day, although still showing
evidence OF vitality and undertone OF eonh-
dence Speculative opinion seems to have ar
rived at the conviction that the worst Is over
in the business depression and that Improve
ment is to be the rule from now on.
Mixed with this confidence is the caution
promoted by the probability that the specula-
tion will outrun the rate OF Improvement
leaving room for sharp market reactions.
The danger Of running out OF margins IN sucn
a reaction and of losses for the too daring
specuator are taken into account and are re-
sDonsble for such periods OF hesitation as
were perceptible during much OF the DAY
session.
The disposition was plainly manifest to re-
duce market conditions the hour approached
for the assembling of the supreme court. The
uctuation In Reading meantime became Ie ave-,
ish. Then followed a period OF extreme dull
until 1t was announced that he decision
was once again approached.
The tone Of advices sent out by commission
houses over the week end resulted in conslde-
rable accession OF buying orders when the
market opened. The further Improvement IN
financial conditions abroad brought an addi-
ton to the demand for American securities
from that source also the seillng 10 reailze
had effect on the market.
In the later efforts to start the market up
again a good deal OF attention was given TO
individual stocks with view to their sympa-
thetic effect on the general list
There seemed some impression that the be-
ginning of arguments in the governments suit
Against the Standard Oil company might re-
strain the speculation.
This weeks government report on crop con-
ditions is regarded as of great Importance for
the light II will throw on tho statement Of win
ter wheat
Time loans are reported easier and con-
siderable amounts were said to have been
placed on the market. The vigorous advance
in the last half hour OF Union Pacific and
steel was decisive In turning the whole mar
ket inward again. Bonds were firm. Total
sales, par value, $4.S74,oO0. Government bonds
were unchanged call

CHICAGO. April 5.-Prices were a little
higher for the day. July wheat reached new
high figure at s1.Os% to s1.Oe. had reaction
to s1.oS. made good recovery to s1.Os% and
closed at 81 0Sa to 81. OSss 1t is announced that
the Washington report on condition of the
growing crop will be received here at or before
midday on Wednesday This in connection
with the holiday created a little feeling OF I'M
certainty and caused much of the selling which
gave the market Its temporary setback at one
time. The foreign situation is getting stronger
as supplies from south OF the equator fall Off.
Paris and Berlin showed decided strength.
A. few southwest points were claiming good
crop outlook, complaints were little less
numerous on the whole, but practical observers
who were out In the fields are noting an ex-
tremely beautiful condition of the plants and
predict a large reduction in acreage. Okla
homa crop report shows wheat condition 1875;
damage caused by dry weather and high winds.
II anything occurs to give the market good
dip be ready to buy July wheat.
Best support for the market early was the
result of the forecast for rain or snow over
the west the next three or four hours. Profit
taking was in order later because of the less
uncertain action of the wheat trade Ship
ping business was about 900 bushels for the
day. So long as receipts are so very small
and there is promise of corn shipments by lake,
there is little chance for much break in the
market.
Good support for the Mary early in the day
for oats Mild weather with, favorable condi-
lions for the new crop induced little selling
pressure in the July and September.
Hogs at the yards were considerably in ex-
cess of estimates of Saturday. Prices were at
a little decline. All western packing points
had 1000 more hogs than year ago.
