Every farmer. who raises as many
as 100 hogs in a year. ought to divide
them into spring and fall herds. BY
this means he will be able to distrib-
ute the labor to suit his convenience,
economic in room, sell when the mar
ket suits him, and furnish his custo-
mers on short notice, any kind OF pork
desired. from suckling-roast to prime
bacon
The thoroughly practical man can
turn hogs into money very rapidly.
but the business needs to be on a scale
extensive enough to enable him to
properly divide his fields and build
ings, and to make thorough expert
ments. with different types. and differ
ent kinds of food.
/ have observed two or three bad
failures recently. which were caused
primarily, by the old and erroneous
idea that hogs do not require much
ground room or forage.
In raising pork for the market. the
farmer ought to keep in mind these
vital points: Cost of feeding. danger
Of disease or sickness. and range Of
market prices.
Starting the season with so to 10(
pigs just weaned, the owner should
provide pasturage of some kind.

tells the story:

spring when father brought home a
package one evening just to try 1t. We
had heard from our neighbors, and in
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked It.

brewed It about FIVE minutes. Just as
she had been In the habit OF doing

the package. 1t looked weak and
didn't have n very promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air of exceptancy. II certain
ly did give him great surprise, but
I'm afraid 1t wasn't very pleasant
one. for he put down his cup with a
look of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave 1t another trial,
letting It stand on the stove till boil

fifteen or twenty minutes. and this
time we were all so pleased with II
that we have used It ever since.

MORRIS WHIPS JACK GEYER.
Oklahoman Is Learning to Box a
Little.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE bout be-
tween Carl Morris, the Oklahoma
heavyweight, and Jack Geyer of Den
yer, was stopped by Referee White IN
the ninth round Monday night. Mos
ris easily outpointed the Denver
heavyweight throughout.
The ponderous Oklahoma man took
the scales at 235, with Geyer thirty
pounds lighter The bout was fast'
hard battle. Although Morris out
pointed his man in every round except
possibly the first, Geyer showed Won
derful pluck and was contlnually
boring in, his most effective blow be-
ing a short left uppercut.
There was not a knockdown in the
nine rounds. but frequently Morris had
his man on the ropes in the rushes-
for the ring was II feet square-but
the Denver man showed his gameneSs
bv lighting hard after his left eye had
been closed. The referee stopped the
bout in the ninth to save him from
further beating.
Gever opened with a rush, sending
a left and right to the head, and then
in a clinch, landed a right uppercut
but got a hard one in the stomach IN
return. The Denver man trled an
other right. but got one hlmseH on

said to have had the better of this
round. but in the second Morris kept
working short right uppercut. IN

fourth Morris continually got to this
