THE CARNIVAL GRAFT.

The Bulletin would have preferred
very much to permit the subject of
official graft in this city to become
chapter in the city's past history
and II is with some regret that II
finds itself constrained to note con.
tinued activity in this direction. The
Bulletin regrets this not SO much on
It's own account, as on account Of
the city, which, surely. has suffered
enough from this sort of thing.
The story given in yesterdays pa
per was substantially correct In
every important detail, although an
effort was made in last evenings
paper to discredit it. The main
charge was that graft was practiced
upon some of the keepers of the
tents at the street carnival last
week. An affidavit was published
from one OF the men, charging ihat
ex-officer Casey, who nal been
clothed with questionable authority

GOOD BACON AND LARD HOGS
Those Who Would Succeed In Breed
Ing Must Thoroughly Understand
Correct Type Of Animal.
cav ]. q. L

(By J. q. FULLER.s
The hog Is a source OF pront wneh
rightly managed. both to the general
farmer and the dairyman, but those
who would succeed In breeding for
profit must have a clear understand
ing OF the correct type Of animal
to produce and feed. BY type is
meant the general conformation OF
the animal. Many breeds are in
cluded in the same type. The breeds
may differ In color or some other
small detail. All of the breeds are
included in two types-the lard type
and the bacon type. Those breeds
that are low. deep, broad and heavy
ieshed, such al the Poland-China,
Duroc-Jersey. Berkshire and Chester.
White, are known as lard hogs. These
are largely of American origin and
have been developed by selection and
continued feeding on a fat-producing
ration, principally corn.
The bacon type. on the contrary.
Is of long. narrow. deep. smooth. thin
fleshed conformation. The large
Yorkshire and Tamworth breeds illus
trate this type. These breeds are OF
foreign origin and have been devel-
oped on heterogeneous rations largely

Euu Preservative.

OF the many ways Of preserving
& & there is none that a be so
strongly recommended as by means Of
w~aterglass, or soluble silicate of soda.
The disadvantage of the lime-and-wa-
ter method is that while 1t preserves
the contents in excellent condition, 1t
makes the shells rough and very brit
tie, reducing their market value con-
siderably. With the waterglass there
is no such disadvantage, since it does
not affect the shells in any way. Wa
terglass can be obtained at wholesale
drug stores, and as a rule sellers In
clude directions regarding the correct
amount Of water to be added, says the
C%ultfvator. Sometimes it is five times
as much by bulk or by weight, some
times ten times, sometimes 10. The
eggs, which should be fresh, clean
and, If possible, infertile, should be
placed in a glazed vessel and the wa
terglass poured over them.

composed of grain and skim milk. AS
the result of careful feeding and
breeding, the bacon breeds have been
developed to a high state of perfection
and yield the best quality of pork.
That more bacon hogs are not pro
duced throughout the central west IS
due to the fact that the bacon hog.
compared with the lard hog, with
which he comes In competition,
dresses but 70 to Is per cent. net to
gross weight, whereas the lard hog
dresses from "a to 81 per cent. The
dressed weight compared to the live
weight practically decides the value
of all hogs in the great markets OF
the central west. On this account and
the fact that packers can secure and
utilize a sufficient supply of immature
and unfinished lard hogs in place OF
true bacon hogs, there is, as yet, no
well-established market or demand
for the latter class of animals. Al
though conditions in certain localities
are suitable for the production OF
bacon hogs Of high quality, their
breeding and feeding should not be
undertaken in competition with the
lard hog, unless the demand is sufh-
cient to insure prices leaving a profit
over the cost of production.
A typical bacon hog is deep, long
and narrow in conformation, with suf-
ficient development of lean meat to
yield a carcass of the highest quality.
He lacks the wide back and thick
flesh, characteristic Of the lard hog
and SO desirable in hogs sold on the
basis of dressed weight.

WATER CRESS
Finds Ready Sales IN All Large
City Markets.
women Can Make Land Considered AZ
so Much Waste to Yield Hand
some Profit - How to
Start Crop.
(By MAuDE E. HYMERs.)

A -
The woman owning a bit of ground.
across which runs a stream Of water.
Is fortunate indeed; especially II the
home lies within easy driving distance
of a city.
For this low, moist ground. con-
sidered usually as SO much waste
space. may be made to yield dollars
to the woman capable of grasping the
possibilities Of cultivating water
cress.
This delectable salad plant Is
valued In these days than eve be-
fore, and the supply is never equal
to the demand.
AS the first step, have the stream
cleared, ready for planting the cress.
This may be done by plants or seeds.
either of which may be procured from
any reliable dealer. Better buy the
plants.
Set two rows the entire length Of
the ditch, pick up six or sever stalks,
lay them at the bottom of the ditch
near the side so the tops will be
above the water, then two feet from
there set another bunch of plants on
the other side. anchoring the plants
by placing a pile of earth on the
roots.
If the plants must be home grown
from seed, make a seed bed near the
spring In soft, wet ground, but do
not let the water run over it. Scatter
the seed and press in the mud with
q spade. Transplant the plants any
time when large enough to handle.
When the cress has grown and
spreads over the top of the ditch,
have it moved close to the top Of
the water, clearing away all clippings
so they will not choke the stream.
When 1t grows up again fresh and
crisp you will be ready to market
your product.
Place a plank across the ditch on
which to sit, gather the cress with
the left hand, and cut with a sharp
knife, having the stalks about three
inches long.
Bunch neatly, fastening the stalks
with a rubber band, and cutting off
s%quarely. Sprinkle lightly and keep
from the sun until sold.
Cress may be sold for shipment,
for consumption In the home market,
or to individual customers, the price
per dozen or per bunch varying with
different localities.
If the cress is crisp and tender the
matter of marketing will take care of
itself. and the returns will be sufficient
and sure.
