Notes of the Hog Lot.

tt is a great mistake to sell the
brood SOW just because she is two or
three years old. Keep her as long
as she remains vigorous.
When the hogs are confined keep
the floors of the pen as free from
dust as possible. Hogs lie with their
noses close to the floor and in this
way inhale more dust than any other
farm animal.
An excellent bedding for hogs is
marsh hay or pulp from sugar cane
meal. This gives out very little dust.
\ Missouri farmer always plants
about two acres to 100 souashes
which he feeds to his hogs during the
winter with excellent results This
man writes: Il have sold in the reg

Tire Quality OF Oar Prosperity.
Indianapolis News. J

For the week ending December %,
1909, the number of business failures
in the United States was Z64 as COM
pared with 1876 for the corresponding
week III 1908, and 248 for the CORES
pondins week in 1907. Thus it will ba
seen that the number Of business fail
ufcS in that week exceeded by sixteen
the number occurring during the cor
responding week Of the panic perjoG.
About 81 per cent of these failures
were of firms having a capital OF S5,-
600 or less about s per cent Of firms
having from $4,000 to $4,000 capi-
tai. and about l per cent of firms haV-
ing from $4,000 to $4,000 capital.
OF course, it will not do to judge a
situation by the returns of one week,
but it may be noted that the failures
for the week ending December 16,
1909, were 273; SO the results Of the
week OF December 23 were not ab-
normal.
This leads TO the question Of
whether our general prosperity is as
great as we have been thinking it IS.
The preponderance Of the failures OF
smaller concerns is not unnatural be-
cause there are Tin spite of all the
combinations u vastly greater num-
ber of small firms than of large ones.
Doubtless the establishment Of some
Of these firms was i1i-advised and
their affairs ignorantly or incoInpet-
entity managed. But admitting all this,
is there not 8 suggestion i'll these re-
turns that the people Of this country
are not getting along SO well as is
represented? There were no large fail
ures. Indeed. under present conditions
the larger the firm the more firmly
does it seem to be established. This
is reasonable because Of its larger
resources. its cheaper production and
adroin istration and IFS ability either to
maintain or to cut it's prices through
it's own strength or through combina-
ton with similar enterprises
But the small firm has no such
guards. 1t must do business steadily at
more or less profit to continue To
exist. 1t lives from hand to mouth
and cannot play a waiting game until
customers are ready to meet its de-
n1ands. And worst of all, it has TO
compete with the larger firm. If the
larger competitor cuts prices It must
meet them or do no business; If il
does meet them its profits are likely
to be cut to such a degree that it may

puts the price back to the original
figures or higher and continues bus

loss it has suffered.

basis: but one may Well ask If there
Is not something wrong with 0ar
prosperity when business failures
