The Big Day.

Inc big LAY.
There are Christmas and New Year and
likewise Thanksgiving,
And other occasions of bliss
That help to make life something we'll
worth the living,
With pleasures too precious to miss.
The Glorious Fourth is the pride Of the
summer
AS yearly its splendor returns;
But there's one day we'll hail as regu-
lar hummer
Just wait until Congress adjourns!
The world will resound with the pent-up
orauons
That find liberation at last.
The lecturers bold will conduct celebra-
tions
Eclipsing all festivals past
And banners of welcome will stream DER
the highways
In the home where each patriot yearns
To meet the old friends Of the streets or
the byways-
Just wait until Congress adjourns!

No Great Surplus Of HOGS.

The number of stock hogs for
fattening this season is estimated
by the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington to be about
A percent larger than a year
ago. According to it's reports
the North Atlantic States have
no increase in hogs; the South
Atlantic States an increase of AZ
per cent; the North Central
States east of the Mississippi
River an increase of 5 per cent /;
the States of the same division
west of the river an increase of
81 per cent. the South Central
States have a decrease of 1.8 per
cent. and the far western States
an increase ST q per cent; max
ing the increase in the number of
hogs for the whole Union SO per
cent.
Trade estimtes commonly put
the increase at a higher figure,
but concede that the premature
marketing of pigs are reducing
the number available for later
Accordingly both
the Government and the COM
mercial views of the situation in
dictate no great surplus of hogs.
