Bossler Hogs Marketed In Kansas.

Bossier Hogs Marketed In Kansas.
The following clipping is from
the Kansas City Drovers' Tele-
gram of recent date:
Shipping a carload of hogs
from a point 900 miles south of
here to the Kansas City market,
shows which way the wind is
blowing. Late yesterday Webb
Smith, prosperous farmer of
Taylortown, La, landed with a
carload of hogs raised on his 800
acre farm on the banks of the
Red River, a short distance from
Shreveport. Last week two ship
ments of hogs came from that
same neighborhood.
Mr.. Smith went to the Red
River Valley from Georgia eleven
years ago and located on his
present farm, which is one of the
best improved in that territory.
On his farm Mr.. Smith has 200
acres in alfalfa and $50 acres in
corn, besides some cotton and
other crops.
I'VE have a first -class hog
country" he said. 1.-THE idea
that We can't raise hogs down
there successfully is all bosh. l
have raised my hogs on alfalfa,
and then we can raise the very
best Of corn, also. There is no
richer soil on the globe than that
part Of the Red River Valley.
Cotton has been the leading crop
all along, and is still a big paying
crop, but we are troubled some
years with the boil weevil, and
that is soaring some farmers
away and turning them to raising
hogs and corn, which is very
profitable. This year the cotton
crop will probably amount to SIS
an acre, which is pretty big for .
single seasons crop. But hog
and corn raising ought to in
crease with US, especially since
hog prices have gone so high"

The Fair a Good Advertisement.

Mr.. Louis C. Buckley, a former
resident of our parish but now
Secretary for the Shreveport
Chamber of Commerce, thinks
that the State Fair just closed
has been of great advertising
value to North Louisiana. In
Tuesdays Shreveport Times
there is a short interview by him
as follows:
81 have been connected with
the agricultural exhibits at the
State Fair in different ways for
the last five years." said Mr..
Buckley of the Chamber of Com
merce. 81 never saw the demand
for our exhibits so great as it was
this year. Last year some parts
of the farm product displays were
taken to the Chicago Land Show.
This year the demand for these
exhibits was really greater than
the supply. William Allen of the
Business Mems League of New
Orleans got most OF the corn ex-
hibits and enough of the general
farm products to make good
display at their show that begins
on the oath of this month. Much
of this material was bought in by
the K. c.. S. and Cotton Belt
Railroads for their exhibits at
Chicago, which begin on the 10Th
inst. Parts of these agricultural
exhibits will also be shown in four
other Northern States this winter.
Zone party offered to pay for
one of the parish displays and
move it intact, and was only pre-
vented from doing 80 because
some Of the owners of the exhibit
wanted their stuff returned to
them at once. This goes to show
that this section is attracting
more attention than ever before.
We seem to be getting some re-
suits from our efforts to interest
the Northern man in our farm
lands. talked with a number of
out-of- State people who said they
intended to invest in this section.
They registered at our informa-
ton bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce in the Agricultural
Building. We can keep in touch
with them. Our Northers visitors
seem to be interested more in
corn and alfalfa than any other
farm product. We had a great
display of each of these and they
were well pleased with what they
saw, not only in the Agricultural
Building, but live stock as well. !"
Mr.. Buckley further stated that
the "Fair just passed has done
more to advertise our State than
ali the previous fairs combined,
and look forward to a great fair
for 1911. Many of the local real
estate men got material for small
agricultural exhibits for their
offices, and the Chamber of Com.
merce will add materially to its
display. Some of the smaller ex-
hibits are to be returned from
New Orleans, which were loaned
to them for their fair"

Come, stack arms, men! pile on the rails,
Stir up the campfire bright;
No matter if the canteen fails,
Well make roaring night;
Here Shenandoah brawls along,
To swell the brigade's rousing song
OF Stonewal Jackson's way.

Cooked over his eye askew-
The shrewd dry smile-the speech as pat
So calm, so blunt so true.

Strangle the fool who dares to SCOT.
Attention. 'Tis his way!

In forma paupefis to his God
clay bare thine arm; stretch forth thy rod;
Amen" That's Stonewall Jacksons way.

Of morning, and, by George,
There's Longstreet struggling in the lists,
Hemmed in an ugly gorge
Pope and his Yankees whipped before
"Bayonet and grape" hear Stonewall roar,
"Charge, Stuart! Pay off Ashbys score"
In Stonewall Jacksons way.
All, maiden! wait and watch and yearn
For news of Stonewalps band;
All, widow! read with eyes that burn

The Incorporation Bill.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
The federal incorporation bill. the ext
of which was made public yesterday, is
excellent as an Incorporation bill. 1t is
to be regretted that every state in the
Union has not an incorporation bill of
similar purport, adapted, of course, to
state Jurisdiction. Ii each of them had
had a law with similar requirements
about the issue of securities, with similar
prohibitions against the investment in the
stock of other corporations and with
similar prohibitions against monopoIies,
with equal provisions for publicity and
regulation by public authority and with
equal safeguards for the interests OF
stockholders and investors, the public
would not have suffered from the various
abuses of high finance as it has in the
past. The reform Of corporate manage
ment In this country Is difficult because
there always are states like New Jersey.
Delaware and West Virginia, whose cor
poration laws are lax, and where COM
panies can take out charters subject to
few restrictions. The proposed federal
incorporation law aims to cure thu
abuses of the present system by provid-
ing uniform method for incorporating
companies whose requirements are those
which experience has shown to be de-
Sirable.

High" Meats.

The old adage that what is one mans
meat is another mans poison is given fresh
illustration in the testimony offered yes
terday before the House District subcom-
mittee on foods by an inspector Of the
District Health Department He seemed
astonished when the members of the COM
mittee showed surprise at his statement
that meat which he regarded as fit only for
condemnation was on sale in the markets
OF this city and that certain consumers
showed decided preference for that sort
OF food. As far as the consumers of old
meat are concerned the whole matter
becomes one of personal taste. The law
need not concern itself with people who
ike to eat flesh foods in a state approach
ing decomposition so long as they do not
impose their choice upon others, who
can not control the quality of their food
supply. But the law is decidedly con-
cerned In the manner in which such
meats are stored in the public markets,
and it is a matter of the keenest interest
10 the great majority of consumers to
learn that such meats are hung In the
same compartments with the fresh supplies
from which their steaks and chops and
roasts are cut. II butchers are compelled
for business reasons to keep in stock
meat that has passed the point of appeal
10 the average consumer they should be
required to provide special places for it,
so that those who prefer their meat fresh
may be assured that they are not taking
their own portions from a possibly con-
taminated source.
There Is truly no accounting for tastes.
The fact that some people like their meat
high" may shock the sensibilities of
many who In turn, through their own
consumption of normal meat foods, shock
the prejudices and tastes of vegetarians
No fixed standard of food propriety can
be established, but it is possible and
necessary to lay down certain rules that
will protect all classes OF food consumers,
whether they are vegetarians or meat
caters. The immediate purpose of the
inquiry now in progress Is to ascertain
now far It !. necessary to go to protect
the public from the possibly unwholesome
effect of the cold storage system. For
both economic and sanitary reasons 1t is
proposed to limit the period of permissible
FOOD storage Such testimony as that
taken yesterday is calculated to lead To
the reporting of a bill laying down more
definite limitations to govern this branch
or the food purveyins business
