Coburn on the Kansas HOG.

KansaslThe Hogs Happy
Habitat - ii the title of a little
leaflet just issued by F. D. Co
burn, secretary of the Kansas
board of agriculture. Mr.. Co
burn says of the Sunfiower state
porker:
In Kansas the hog finds the
favored zone-his Ell Dorado
and here he always makes both
ends meat. For Kansas is a corn
orchard parked with grasses and
fragrant with the bloom of alfal-
ia, the greatest forage plant ever
vouchsafed by Providence to men,
growing here in a profusion else
where unknown. Hence it is that
Kansas possesses more of these
late model, self-lu bricating
mortgage than all New
England and fifteen other states
and territories.
Uncle Sam, our foremost con-
noisseur of pork, but with no es-
pecial partiality for Kansas, re-
corded in a report for January,
1907, that the Kansas hogs are
worth per capiter" Is per cent
more than the Missouri hog, SO
per cent more than the Kentucky
hog. 56 per cent more than his
Virginia compatriot, 81 per cent
more tnan the Arkansas hog, and
14S per cent more than F'lorida's
favorites.
There is probably no other
territory of the same area as
Kansas where the conditions of
climate, soil, food and care are
more congenial to a hogs health
and wholesome developement,
and he is nowhere found so de-
veloped except by and among a
high order of people. High class
swine are unknown and impossi-
BILE among a low class people.
Kansas swine, coinage of Kan
sas grass, grain and brain, in the
world arena at Chicago, and then
at St. Louis. met the world beat
ers and beat them. Kansas has
given Poland China, Ch e s e r
County, Berkshire and New Jer-
sey 1000 years the lead and east
ly djstanced the nameSakeS of all.
The Kansas hog,in his sphere
typifyiRg tf4e good, the true, and
the beautiful, is a joy even to the
Hebrew, and like the state that
lends him as a SOlace to humani-
ty, is in only the morning of his
career. His one passport, every
where demanded and always suf
fcient for entree to presidents,
potentateS or peasants, is Kan

On the back OF th1S IeaHet, MT

written by Walt Mason.
Kansas-where we've torn the shackles
From the farmers leg:
Kansas-where the hen that cackles.
Always lays an egg:
Where the cows are fairly achin'
To go on with record breakin'.
And the hogs are raising bacon.

Comet Will Sweep the Earth.

Frank E. Seagrave, a Providence
astronomer. whose calculations rels.
tive to Halley's comet has attract.
ed widespread attention, announces
that the correction of a slight error
in calculation has developed the
discovery that on May 49, 1910,
the comet will reach the same
plane as the earth in its orbit. 1t is
therefore determined that the tail
of the comet will sweep across this
plane instead of clearing iti The
earth and comet will meet on the
same plane, but not in the same
path The nearest dividing dis
lance will be 100000 miles
The fan of the comets tail, accord
ing to Seagrave, will spread out
and for a short period the earth
will find itself swept by "star dust"
brought from many millions of
miles beyond the fartherest known
comet. There need be no scare
over the approaching event, said
he, Nothing will happen. The
end of the world will not come.
1t will be nothing more than we

A BADGE OF HONOR.

A business man of Columbus, Ga,
writes to Mary Harris Armor, presi-
dent of Georgia W. G. T. u, relating
an incident which, he says, reveals
how far reaching are the influence and
teachings Of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Uuion. and how they are
being indoctrinated into the standard
of citizenship of men of affairs. We
quote the letter almost in full!
"The occasion was "a gathering of
representative business men who had
come from every state in the south
Atlantic group from as far vest as Ar
kansas. These men represented a
vast amount of capital, and they were
gathered to discuss financial problems
and to devise ways and means for build
ing up their interests.
''After celebrating questions of vital
Importance, recess was taken and it
was proposed by gentleman in the
party that we accept the cordial invita-
ton of a Social Club to visit their
rooms and partake of some refresh
ments.' Before the gentlem an had
finished speaking, he glanced over the
circle or listeners, and his eyes rested
on the bow of white ribbon which I
had the honor to wear. He at once
modified his suggestion, and said that
becauce of the insignia worn by one of
the company. he would withdraw the
proposition, as he could not afford to
offer disrespect to the badge which
stood for the purity and love of our
mothers and sisters; neither would he
dare propose anything that would be a
seeming affront to one who stood as
sponsor to band of loyal women who
had accomplished 80 much for the ma
ton. The others present concurred in
his views, and felt more honored
than had I been the recipient of an in

Useful Life Ended

Hettinger County Herald: On Mon
day, January IS, occurred the death of
Mrs. w. H. Ware, aged 81 years, at
the Ware home five miles west of New
England. the cause of her demise was
cancer of the stomach from which she
has suffered greatly for several months.
Early this fall she was taken to the
Dickinson hospital and everything that
could be was done for her but her
strength failed gradually and she passed
quietly out of this life surrounded by her
loved ones.
The funeral was on Tuesday afternoon
and a large number of friends and neigh
bors gathered at the home. Rev. B.
L. Opdahl was the officiating clergyman
and the Congregational church choir sang
the favorite hymns of the deceased.
Mrs. Ef1e (Defreeze) Ware was born
in Fremont, Shiawassee county, Mich
igan. on October S, 1854. When a child
she moved with her parents to Burns
where she grew to young womanhood.
At the age of u she was married to w.
H. Ware of Perry, Michigan. They re-
sided most of the time in Perry until
they moved to New England two years
ago. Unto them were born five child
rem, four girls and n boy. all living.
