HOG INDUSTRY IN THE SOUTH
Long Growing Season Obviates Neces.
sity for a Large Amount OF
Concentrated Feed.

The south is large consumer.
of bacon. Southern table delicacies
still count lard among their ingred-
tents. But the attempt to produce
these staple food products on south
ern farms has been difficult. says
Breeders Gazette. Mongrel or ma
tive hogs could not be kept quiet
enough to fatten. Improved breeds of
hogs could not live as the razorback
lived and make lard where il failed
to make 1t. Through misunderstand-
ing of fat hog type some unfortunate
ly poor selections from northern herds
found homes on southern farms con-
tributlng to the encouragement of
progressive men.
That southern hogs are finally to
supply the southern demand for pork
products is promised by the steady
persistence with which foundation
stock has been taken from northern
herds, while owners have solved the
problem of turning their native feeds
into a combination on which hogs
thrive. The south grows cowpeas,
soybeans and alfalfa, which are the
backbone of cheap pork production.
The long growing season obviates the
necessity for large amount of con-
centrated feed. Enough is supplied
by the corn that has been required to
rotate cottonfields infested with the
weevll, and the cotton-seed meal that
careful feeders are supplying to their
hogs in small quantities and for short
fattening periods with pasture to re-
duce the possibility of fatalities.

Remarks on Sowing Wheat.

The soil should be thoroughly pre-
pared and In good working order. 1t
is better to run a drag or harrow
over II before seeding. Seed with a
drill when possible, as a more equable
distribution at a more uniform depth
is thereby secured. Before planting.

the blest Mother Mary

When the blest Mother Mary,
In Nazereth far away.
Worked for the little Christ child
BY the brook. at dawn OF day,
She took his tiny garments
And spread them In the sun
Upon the plants of rosemary.
And dried them one by one.
The dainty leaves were mindful.
OF the linen sheer and white
And held IL to the breeZes,
And spread IT to the light;
And lo-a subtle fragrance
Was left upon the plant
And to this day the rosemary
With spice is emanant.
Dear Maid-Your mother Mary
Gives you this name so sweet,
For i'm you the fragrant rosemary,
And the sunny child soul meet.

SAN PEDRO, Nov. 3.-The police at

Charities of Los Angeles.
The party consists of a man, three
women and two children. A woman

BOA CONSTRUCTOR SATAN
CAPTURED AT LUNA PARK
Carpenter StumbIes Over Serpent
in Dark Theater

One of the carpenters employed at
Luna park was frightened so badly
yesterday morning that had any gates
in the wall that surrounded the amuse-
ment place been open he would have
been running yet, and as q direct re-
suit of his fright the big boa constric-
tor Satan, belonging to the park zoo,
which has been giving residents around
Washington and Main streets uneasy
moments since Wednesday morning, is
once more in captivity
The carpenter was doing some work
in the big, empty theater which stands
lust back of the ball park. He went to
work yesterday morning as usual, go
ing in the front door and walking down
the aisle of the dark auditorium to-
ward the stage.
AS he stepped along his foot struck
something soft He reached down to
see what it was.
Wow! He was face to face with
about twenty-five feet of extremely
angry snake.
The carpenter didn't stop to argue
with his snakeship. He didn't even
tell the other park employees that the
snake had been found. He had bust
ness in Watts of a most urgent ma
ture and only the high board fence
kept him in the park.
Going to find why their carpenter
had left so suddenly employees of the
park found the big snake nursing his
injured feelings and easily recaptured
him.

COMBER TOPPLES BOY
FROM PIER into SURF
Charles Mcfarland Disappears
Through Hole but Is
Soon Rescued

LONG BEACH, Nov. 3.-While sit
ting on the floor of the lower deck OF
the pier this morning and fishing
through a hole made by the heavy
breakers wrenching loose a plank,
Charles Mcfarland, IA years old, was
precipitated into the water by comber
which tipped the board on which he
was seated. He clutched at the floor
ing on either side of him but could not
save himself
George Munger an old-time fisher
man, was casting for surf fish nearby
and heard Mcfarland scream. Looking
up Munger saw the youths head dis
appearing through the hole. Running
to the spot he seized one of the loose
planks, dropped it into the water and
yelled to the boy to keep afioat by it
until a boat was brought. Munger ran
to the outer wharf, and he, with e. b.
Counts and George Adds, manned a
rowboat and hastened to the lads
rescue.
The boy was much frightened and ex-
hausted. After he was lifted into the
skiff the whole party came near being
drowned when the boat was caught
among the breakers.
Heavy ground swells caused num-
ber of the pier planks to be torn loose
early this morning. The tides washed
high on the beach, but did no damage
there. The launches which were
moored near the wharf scudded into
San Pedro harbor at an early hour to
be safe from the threatened storm. A
boat bar, with a part of the paddle
broken off, and some small pieces Of
wood which it was thought might have
been part of a rowboat, drifted near
the pier this morning.
Because of the damage done to the
pier the lower deck was closed to gen
eral traffic, a danger sign being
posted at the gate.

IMPROVEMENT BODIES
PLAN SOCIAL FUNCTION
Federation of City Clubs Hears
Complaint of Suburban
Transfer System

Preparations for the initial social
function of the Federated Improvement
association of Los Angeles, in the form
of an elaboate banquet, were COM
menced at the regular monthly meet
ing of the association in the assembly
room of the Chamber Of Commerce last
night. The president, Garner Curran,
was given the power to select COM
mittee of eleven on arrangements. 1t
is probable that the affair will be held
in Hamburger'S cafe some time In
January, after the completion of the
holiday festivities.
1t was suggested by John d. Pope,
a member of the association, that the
holding of a banquet be made an an
nual occurrence for the purpose or
bringing the members of the various
Improvement associations together in
a social way to get acquainted and to
talk over the work that is being done
by the various clubs. The idea was
heartily greeted by the association.
The membership of the Federated
association was greatly increased at
last nights meeting by the addition of
the South Hollywood and Lake Shore
Avenue Improvement organizations.
While both of these associations are
not old they have a big membership.
Resolutions were adopted recon-
mending Joseph H. Call as a represen-
tative of the Federation on the com
mittee to be appointed by Mayor Alex
ander on the disposition of the surplus
water and power in the city. The
mayor will be advised by letter.
A number of complaints were made
to the association pertaining to the
new system of transfers used on the
suburban lines of the electric company.
These were recommended to the COM
mittee on public utility.

JSE OF UNION LABEL GAINED

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Peace offerings
by several clothing concerns, full set
tlement by two companies and report
that the garment strike would extend
to eastern cities were today's develop
ments in the garment workers strike
here
Tonight there is a well defined feel
ing among labor leaders that the back
bone of the opposition is near an end,
and there is little fear that the trouble
will spread to other cities.
The claim that the tide is turning in
their favor came with the signing of an
agreement by Cohn, Rissman & Co.
and AlschUler, Dreyer & Co., by which
500 men are to return to work for each
firm. No mention of wages is made
in the agreement, which provides forty
eight hours work each week for cut
ters and fifty-four hours for miscel-
laneOus employees. The agreement also
gives the men the right to use the
union label, and is held by the strikers
to be a victory.
The right to have a monster parade
was refused the strikers by the chief
of police on the ground that IL might
lead to riots.
The first police call of the day came
late in the afternoon, when a telephone
call announced fifty women strikers
had gathered in front of clothing
house at q Blue Island avenue. Sew
eral patrol wagons of policemen rushed
to the scene, dispersed the crowd and
arrested one girl, Anna Kral, who had
passed the lines, entered the shop and
persuaded several strikebreakers to
leave their work.
An hour later another woman was
arrested when a crowd gathered at
Wood and Thomas streets.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 3.-Brannan is
land, in the Sacramento river, below
this city, is on fire. Fifty acres of land
have already been burned, and the fire
is at present beyond control, as the
only pump suitable for the emergency
was removed last summer.
The fire started last Sunday in a
stubble field when an electric power
wire broke, and the peat beds under
the surface OF the ground were set
ablaze Efforts to extinguish the fire
have failed. A heavy rain or flooding is
all that will quench it, and unless the
rain comes Immediately big pumps will
be taken to the island to cover the land

the Seaside hospital, where he was re-
moved this morning from his apart

the east. Mr.. Buffers had been unwell
since returning from a second trip to
Chicago and Michigan points a few
weeks ago,
His mother, Mrs. Mary Buffers, died

A contest regarding the estate was
soon started. The family is promi-

WARN PROPERTY OWNERS AS
TO BUILDING ORDINANCE

The city prosecutors office is after
property owners who are not living
up to the building ordinance, provid-
ing for fire protection on buildings in
the city limits.
At the request Of inspectors from the
building inspectors department Assis-
tant City Prosecutor S. B. Smith yes
terday sent fourteen letters to as many
property owners warning them that un-
less certain fire protection apparatus,
provided for in the city ordinance, is
installed in their properties legal steps
will be taken against them. In some
cases the owners have been guilty of
minor neglect. In other, according to
the building inspectors, there has been
fragrant disregard for the city laws.
A majority of the property owners
who have boen warned own buildings
in the downtown section, where dan
ger from fire is considered greatest
