duced. So long as all the farmers
are rquired to sell the entire crop OF
cotton each fall, so long will it's price
be an unreliable and unstable one.
The only way by which a farmer can
place himself in a position where he
will not have to sell all his cotton
each fall is. to produce something
in addition to cotton; and unques-
tionably one of the best supplements
to the cotton crop would be the rails
ing of hogs. The hog business can
be so managed that the owner can
have money coming in from 1t at
least twice a year, which would en-
able him to hold his cotton as long
as he pleases.
"Furthermore, the hog is especial
ly adapted to the farmer with small
capital, as but a small amount of
money is required with which to be-
gin the business, and returns begin
to come in a few months after it is
started. The SOW is a rapid producer.
Money is turned over rapidly. With
1925 invested in one boar and five
to eight sows it is easily possible to
have for sale from 5000 to 5000
pounds Of pork, live weight, in a
year. In other words, the yearly
sales should be from two to four
times the amount Of the investment. y

Gets Peanut Hull in Lung.

Greenville, Oct. 16.-Clarence
Cooper, aged A. of Piedmont, TO-
night is in critical condition as
result of getting a piece of peanut
hull lodged in one of his lungs.
Young Cooper, with a number OF
companions, was eating peanuts this
afternoon. He and the other boys
were joking and laughing. In some
way a piece of peanut hull went down
his windpipe and lodged in his lung
The doctors tonight sought to find
where the piece lodged. When they
discover it's location they will operate

Hog Raising in the South.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 15.-The
people of the South should keep at
home the thousands of dollars which
they are annually sending into the
west for meat and the farmers of the
South can bring about this much de-
sired condition and can at the same
time realize handsome profits for
themselves if they will engage In
the raising of hogs more extensively,
declares Professor Dan T. Gray, OF
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
who has charge of the animal indus
try at Auburn and is also an expert
in animal husbandry in the. bureau OF
animal industry of the United States
department of agriculture, in Farm
ers" Bulletin All, entitled Feeding
Hogs in the South" just issued by
the department.
Hogs can be raised as cheaply in
the South as anywhere else and in
many cases more cheaply but hogs
cannot, be raised profitably on corn
alone" says Prof. Gray, and in the
bulletin he gives in full detail the
proper methods of feeding hogs IN
order to realize a profit. Figures
are given showing the results obtain
ed from the use of various feeds IN
experiments conducted at different
points in the South. The bulletin
should prove of much value to any
Southern farmer and it's circulation
viii doubtless result in greatly in
creased activity in hog raising. Pres
ident W. W. Finley, of the Southern
Railway Company, who is greatly in
terested in having the South raise
it's food supplies at home will be glad
to have a copy of this bulletin sent to
any farmer in the South who will ad-
dress a request to him at 1900 Penn
sylvania avenue, Washington, D. C.,
or request may be made directly to
the department of agriculture.
Before going into the details OF
the proper feeding of hogs, Prof.
Gray makes some very interesting OBJ
servations, showing how the raising
of more hogs in the South will prove
a benefit to the whole section. He
gives figures showing the consump-
tion of home raised and Western ami
mails in Birmingham, Ala, In 1907,
proving that in that year alone more
than a million dollars went out OF
Birmingham into distant States all OF
which should have gone into the
pockets of Southern farmers. Other
reasons why Southern farmers should
raise more hogs are stated as fol-
lows:
Pork can be made as cheaply, and
perhaps more cheaply, in the South
than in any other section of the
country. And there are many reas-
ons why our Southern farmers should
introduce this line of animal produc-
ton into the farming system. One
of these reasons is mentioned above,
the money spent for meat would be
kept at home. Another is the 1nt1u-
ence it would probably have on cot
ton. 1t will never be possible for
the South to control the price Of cot
ton until the Southern farmer places
himself in such a position that he
can hold the crop after it is pro-

GAGE PARK MEMORIAL.
Money Is Needed to Pay for the Bronze
Tablet.

To the People OF Topeka few
citizens thought 1t a proper thing to
do, to put in the Gage Park some sim
pie memorial to express their feelings
to Mr.. and Mrs. Gage for the gift of
the park To their very hand, there
was just one boulder ton the Gage
farm, brought down. during the glacial
drift, ages and ages ago, just the right
size, without a flaw, and 1t seemed
that being cast there, was with pro-
phetic design of its present use. The
Vermont Granite company put in a
concrete foundation, supplied large
granite stone, had the bronze made and
it no wstands complete in the park.
This company did it without profit and
the whole bill is $1,000. Mr.. L. L.
Kiene has now about SIS collected,
and this request is for the good peo-
pie to send direct to him and while the
matter is fresh in their minds, their
contributions that the bill may be paid.
If there is anything over Mr. Kiene
will give it over to the park superin-
tendent. JOSEPH G. WATERS.

TO HAVE BLEACHERS.
State Fair Management Prepares to
Seat $500 More Persons.

In anticipation of larger crowds
than heretofore have attended fairs in
Topeka, the management of the Kan
sas State Fair association has decided
to put in ESQ feet of bleachers imme-
diately west of the grandstand which
will make an additional seating capac-
ity of about $500. 1t also is possible
that further extension will be made
east of the grandstand.
While the fair will be essentially a
pumpkin show" the races will be bet
ter than ever and it was considered
that the present seating capacity of the
grandstand is entirely inadequate.
An unusually large number of en-
tries have been made this season.
These include some of the best horses
in Kansas as well as Tennessee and
other states r. T. Kriepe, superin-
tendent of the speed department, says
the races should prove the best in
years.

discovered to be very i'll when they
tried to awaken him at o'clock. Then
they had had the doctor called.
Neely's evidence was valueless to the
case, and was SO disconnected as to
appear to justify the assertion of A. w.
Bradshaw, for whom he works, that
he is irresponsible. He made irrational
and contradictory assertions on the
witness stand until County Attorney
Schenck ordered his arrest. Nicely
had not, so far as has been learned, been
around the Ewing house at the time
in question and beyond being acquaint-
ed with all the parties had no connec-
ton with the case.
The Ewings are two of the most dis
reputable police court characters in
Topeka, the woman being a morphine
user by her own admission, the hus-
band being a frequent liquor law vio-
lator.
The coroner's jury is composed of
John F. Carter, G. w. Daley, Cal
Brewer, Jess S. Langston, ]. d. Nc
Michael and H. S. Allen. The inquest
is presided over by Justice B. p. Will
liams of the Oakland peace court.

TAFT TO SEE FIGURES.
Indians Have Paid Nearly Millions
to Lawyers.

Sulphur. Ok, Aug. lin response
to a request from Commissioner of
Indian Affairs Valentine, the special
congressional committee investigating
Indian land affairs today forwarded
to Beverly, Mass, a statement cover
ing the amount of attorneys fees paid
by the Indians. The statement was
said to be for the use of President
Taft.
The statement covers a period of
20 years and embraces money paid
out as contingent fees. 1t shows the
total money so paid was $3,S93,304.54.
Among the largest fees was $789,OO0,
cover $2,S5S,798. The New York In
dams paid $240,S43 to recover less
than 100000. The Eastern Chero-
KEGS paid fee of $4,000.
In some instances the fees paid were
as high as 25 per ce-- of the property
involved. The request to the committee
for the figures is aiken as indicating
that President Taft has decided to in
terest himself in the present investiga-
ton which grew out of Senator T. P.
Cores charges of attempted bribery.
The contracts now held by j. F. Nc
Murray call for 10 per cent for the
sale of $50, 00O, 900 worth - '--d in this
state. In presenting the figures before
the committee Representative Philip P.
Campbell, of Kansas, said:
1T is rather startling condition of
AFFAIRS that such an amount of money
was paid by the Indians to American
lawyers when the government itself is
the guardian of the Indians"
Indians have so much legal business
that they have to employ lawyers by
the half dozen, according to Douglass
H. Johnston, governor of the Chickasaw
tribe of Indians, who testified today
before the congressional committee.

entering there. Therefore, any sea-

no other cause sufficient in itself to
