Hog Raising in Texas.
progressed

Tarrant County, Texas, topped
the Ft. Worth hog market Sat
urday, June Is, with Poland
Chinr hogs selling at $3.50 per
hundred pounds, which was 10
cents higher than the same class
of hogs sold in Chicago on that
date.
The hogs that brought this top
of the market price were raised
by It. J. Lewis of Crowley and
they averaged 335 pounds. Each
hog brought S31.99 and one
fourth cents and were a little
over year old. They were pro
nounced by hog buyers to be
as pretty hogs as were ever sold
on the Ft. Worth market.
The present reign of high pri'
ces in the hog raising industry
in the United States is without
precedent in the history of pork
in times of peace and plenty
The average price of hogs during
the decade of 1900.1909 was
higher by at least 20 per cent
than during any recent decade.
and yet the figures for 1910 have
gone far above the average fol
the decade. The fact that the
population has increased more
rapidly than has the number o.
hogs is largely responsible fol-
this, although the prevalence OF
tuberculosis and cholera among
hogs is believed to have had
something to do with it. 1t i:

states had increased to eighteen
and it was obvious that with the
entrance of each new 5 tate an
increasing inconvenience would
have to oe met in adding addi-
tional stripes. After much dis
cussiOn, congress finally decided
on the fourth of July, 1918, to
reduce the stripes to the orig
inal number, thirteen, an to add
a new star for each new state.
By this time there were twenty
stars and they were so arranged
on the blue field as to form of
themselves a tive-pointed star.
The army and navy departments
made several other arrangement
of the stars in 1918. and from
then on placing them in rows.
Texas came into the Union in
Decem Der, 1S45, with a flag with
a blue perpendicular stripe next
to the staff, one third of the to-
tai length of the flag, and a lone,
white, tive-pointed star in the
center; besides this perpendicu-
lar stripe were two horizonal
ones, equal in size, the top one
white and the bottom one red.
For this reason Texas was
known as the Lone Star State. "
Astory of the flags used on
American soil could scarcely be
complete without mention OF the
Confederate flag. Many of the
Confederate states and military
organizations used their own
flags. In 1861 the Confederacy
adopted a flag with a red field,
diagonal white stripes through
the center one third the width
of the flag and a blue union with
circle of stars corresponding
with the number of Confederate
states. There were severa
changes, however, as the wal
progressed.

But the granting of such a con.

abandonment of her cherished
hope of making the Eastern
Chinese Railway the trunk line

StOk the first port in the com

addition of another line whose

to nullify tho raison d'etre of the

Americas Hand In Manchuria,

From whichever side we may
view the matter, it seems obyi-
Gus that neither Russia nor Jap
an would cOuntenance any such
proposal as has been made by
Mr.. Knox, ii. e. That the Man
churia railways be neutralzed).
Why, then, did statesman of
Mr.. Knox 5 sagacity put forward
such an obviously unfeasibIe
proposition? Perhaps, however,
the real significance of the pro
ject lies not so much in its own
merits as in the indication, it
affords of Americas determine
tion to play leading role in the
Manchurian drama. Small Won
der that in certain quarters 1t
has been intimated that Mr..
Knox himself did not expect
either Russia or Japan to accept
his recommendation. The pro.
posal was rejected, but it made
the powers recognise that Amer
ica is no longer a negligible
quantity in the disposition of the
Manchurian question. But the
Washington Administration is
not content with exercising sucf
moral influence; so far from it
it has launched a more substan
tial project which will be of i'm
mediate benegt to this country
That project is the construction
of the Chinchou-Tsitsiha or rath
er Chinchou-Aigun railway
which is the impelling force o
American industrial life.
In the execution of this gigan
tic project America must over
come the objection which Russi
has offered against it. 1t wa
also feared that Japan would joi
hands with Russia in the etfor
to prevent the realization of tn
American scheme, but this az
prehension has been dispelle

iect on the condition that Chm
should allow Japan to build lin

said that , per cent of all the
hogs slaughtered at the abattoirs
of the country are afflicted with
tuberculosis, and that one-tenth
of these are so badly diseased
that they have no value except
for the making of fertilizer or
grease.
One of the principal ways of
spreading tuberculosis among
hogs is the returning of unpas-
teuized skinned milk to the
farm from creameries. One tu-
bercular COW may spread the in
fection to a whole neighborhood.
The susceptibility of hogs to in
fection in this way is illustrated
by the fact that in one instance
SO per cent of herd of healthy
hogs contracted tuberculosis
after being fed only three days
on milk from tubercular cows.
Among the domestic animals
of the world, the hog ranks third
in number, there being 138,000,
600 hogs. Sheep have the first
place with 594, ,000,000 and. cattle
second place, with 431 900, 900.
There is one sheep in the world
for every three persons, one be-
vine for every four, and one hog
for every eleven. The United
States leads all the countries of
the world in hog production,
with 100000 swine on its
| farms, while Europe has more
than any other continent, there
being 100000 on that contin-
ent as compared with 100000
| in North America. Among the
states of the Union, Iowa holds
the palm for hog production,
being accredited with a stock of
6,4S5,000 swine. Illinois. Texas
and Nebraska follow in order,
each of these states having more
than 3,000,0 900 hogs.
TEXAS HEALTHY FOR HOGS
1t is said that nowhere else in
the United States are the hogs
so healthy as in Texas, this be
ing due to the fact that they are
raised largely on ranges, and
come in contact with few of the
diseases that are peculiar to tht
hog in the eastern states. The
de partment of agriculture be
lieves that it is incumbent upOr
the hog raiSers of the country
to improve their stock, aSSertinl
that pork will feel the first pincl
of under-production in the Uni
ted States. The average valu'
per head of the hogs in the Uni
ted States, even under the higl
prices prevailing at the begin
ming of the year, was only SO. IA
1t is believed to be possible t
produce a standard with a valu
of at least SIS. To do this, i
will be necessary to improve tn
stock of more than half the hog
of the United States, and t
adopt more modern methods c
feeding and fattening.

BIRTHDAY OF OLD GLORY HON0RED.
Origin of Flag Day and Story of Nativity of
Freeman's Banner I33 Years Ago.

On June IA nearly every state
in the Union took official cOgniz-
ance of the natal day of the Star
Spangled Banner, 1873 years ago,
June IA, 1777. With formal GER
emony tribute was paid to the
banner that has never been trail
ed in the dust. The story of its
victories will be recounted and
the lives of those who fought and
died beneath its glorious folds
were set forth with patriotic
zeal. The symbolic meaning OF
its red and white stripes, its
blue union and its white stars
will be retold, and its history,
from its infancy to its maturity,
was the theme of many speak
er.
"Old Glory did not spring
fullgrswn into being. 1t was
not mature at its birth. AS all
things worth while it was a
growth. The origin of its pat
tern is unknown, although a
number of theories are advanced
and stoutIy supported by various
adherents. George Washington
is generally given credit for the
idea of the alternating stripes
and the stars. The bookplate of
the Washington family shows
five stripes and the stars. Many
contend that this argument scar
cely holds, for the Father of his
Country could then be accused
of placing his own family book
plate in the national standard
an act decidedly at variance with
his character.
Indeed, the beautiful story of
Betsy Ross is severely arraigned
by several parties. They hold
that Washington did not draw a
rough pencil design for her in
Philadelphia, which she followed
except in changing the stars
from six-point to tve-point. and
that she did not make the first
American flag. Others hotly
contend she did.
1t is pretty generally agreed
that the. very first flag in Ameri-
ca that showed thirteen stripes
was one presented by a Captain
Abraham Markoe to his troop of
light horse at Philadelphia in
1775. This flag is still eXtant
being kept in a safe by the City
Troop of Philadelphia as a prec
ious inheritance.
The red of the flag was con
sidered symbolical of energy ano
war, the white of justice, anc

stars a new constellation typify

This was the first flag of the

FLOOD OF RED CROSS STAMPS.
Sixty Million of Them Have Already
Been Printed.

Topeka agents of the Red Cross So
ciety say that the Red Cross Christ
mas seals are being printed at the rate
of nearly a million a day. Already Co.
100000 of these little holiday stamps
have been placed in the hands Of the
agents in all parts Of the country and
the demand is steadily increasing.
The Red Cross association also issues
warning this year to stamp purchas-
ers, calling attention to the recent pos
tai ruling stating that the stamps must
be placed on the backs Of letters and
packages. To avoid the possibility of
the misuse of holiday seals, warning
cards are being posted in every booth
where Red Cross seals are sold, telling
the buying public that the stickers are
not good for postage and must be used
only as seals.
Already several million seals have
been disposed Of and the society ex-
poets to sell 100000 stickers this year.
This will give the national society ST.
