Two Million Short On Hogs
Louisiana the Best Hog Country in the United States
So Pronounced by Experts, and There is
Good Money for Pork Raisers.

The Chronicle was pleased last week
to receive call from Mr.. C. c. French,
of the Fort Worth Stock Yard Co.,
in company with Mr.. C. f. Robinson,
the Induetrial Immigration Agent
for the L.vR. & N. Co.. the two being
greatly interested in the outlook for
hog raising in this country.
Mr.. French is some what of an ex-
pert on hogs and hog raising, having
been over many States in his investi-
CATIONS, and lie gives it as his opinion
that Louisiana is the best hog coun-
try in the United States, and that
it only needs little endeavor here
to build up great industry. He
Gays they have three hog demonstra-
ton farms over in East Texas, that
are learning the people the necessary
care and Information to raise hogs
with profit, but We have the best
country here in Louisiana for this
purpose, and the Red River Valley is
the best of all. The tonnage of alfal-
ia, corn and other foodstuffs that
can I've grown on an acre here, cannot
be beaten anywhere on earth, and
with these, hogs can be raised in any
Ounntitv.

Mr.. French says. that it is a recog-
nized fact the United States is at this
time short two million of hogs, and
this shortage assures a fine prof. to
all hog raisers. His trip through
this section is to make report to
his company at Fort Worth as to
conditions in Louisiana, and as to
what he thinks this country can do
in hog raising. He has secured spe-
cial rates for shipments of hogs from
Louisiana to Fort Worth. the rate
being 25 cents per hundred, the l.. X.
& N. and other railroads uniting in
giving this special rate.
1t is hoped that the people OF the
Red River Valley, as well as the hill
region, will wake up to this fine OPP
portunity to make money raising
hogs. The bill people in some locali-
ties are already starting in this busi-
ness, and we hope it will not be long
until this industry is a fixed and
profitable one in the whole country.
There is money in the business. even
if We have to eat all our hogs at home,
but heprosDect is that they will find
a ready sale for shipment for some

Students OF the engineering department
Of George Washington University an
nounced yesterday that they had made
successful test Of a Faucault pendulum.
by which they observed the revolution Of
the earth.
The instrument was constructed and put
into condition after several weeks OF
tedious work. and December % was Sc
lected. on account Of the stiffness Of at
mOspheric conditions and the quiet OF the
city, as the time for making the observa-
ton T. R. Manning, r. NJ. Holmes, and
o. w. Hansen had charge Of the expert
ment. which was witnessed by all Of the
memSers OF their class.
Five Inches in Half Hour.
The pendulum swung five inches in half
an hour, which was considered sufficient
TO prove that science has gagged the
earth's motion about right. Beneath the
pendulum. which is an instrument al
most as delicate as a seismograph that
records earth tremors, had been arranged
a scale Of the degrees of longitude and
latitude, and this scale showed Just what
the mundane sphere was doing In the
way OF twirling at the time the students
were watching.
The government observatory is equipped
with q similar instrument, which is OF
recent perfection, though the idea was
conceived more than fifty years ago.

Cupid scored a home run on the police
of Richmond and Washington yesterday
when Julia May Morgan and Michael Nc
Donough. OF the Virginia capital. come
here and were married.
When the parents of Miss Morgan dis
covered that she had eloped. they ap-
pealed to the Richmond chief of police.
who telegraphed the police in this city to
stop the marriage But the alarm was
too late. The couple had been united by
Father Michigan and were on their re-
turn TO Richmond. The bride IS nine
teen years old, and the police could not
have interfered.
When the superintendent OF the Wash
ington police received the Richmond tele-
gram he sent an officer to the court
house. and there II was discovered the
couple had procured their license and
vanished.
