GOOD MONEY IN
HOG BUSINESS

A theory among dealers in hogs is that
every fourth year prices run lower than
the average, and this being the off year
1t Is thought there may not be the same
level OF prices as for the last three years.
Whether there is anything in this theory
or not we will not undertake to say, but
1t is fact that with succession of years
OF big profit many people enter the hog
business and retire from it The first sea
son of comparatively low prices, with
the result that there is scarcity of hogs
for season of wears.
-Four years ago hogs got down to 5
cents in the valley, and thousands of lit
tie pigs were killed and buried, almost
wiping out the hog industry in the val
ley. Since then the number of head
has been increasing steadily, but during
the three years of high prices the valley
has had very few hogs to sell, and the
loss to the farmers from the standard of
previous years has been heavy.
Hogs are now down to s cents, with
heavy i1nportations from the Middle
West to the coast. Whether the price
will recover for the summer cannot be
stated. But even at this price there is a
good margin of profit in hogs.
OF course human nature is always the
same, and in this year, when the oppor-
tunity is best to enter the business, there
will be many who will retire from it,
again missing a succession of good years.
The drop of | cent in price represents
about - head of marketable pork, or
about $50, 900 from the 20, 900 head of
hogs ready for summer shipment But
if the earlier price should not be recov-
cred, the summer shipments should
still bring the valley nearly half mil
lion dollars in cash.
Great as is the number of hogs in the
valley, it does not represent full recov-
cry from the slaughter of 1907, and the
valley very readily can fatten 1000
hogs year The man who makes the
money out of them is the one who sets a
standard for himself and year after year
stays up to that standard. regardless of
the fluctuations i'll price. The man who
does this strikes an average of about u
cents a pound. at which there is big
profit in hogs. Imperial (Cal. }, Stand

WORKING ON new
CODE OF LAWS

A number of inquiries have been
made of late concerning the time when
the new code of Nevada laws will be
ready for distribution and sale. At the
present time the State Printer is busily
engaged in printing the code, hut con-
siderable delay is expected before the
the proof reading is completed and the
volume bound
The new code will take the place of
Cuttings compilation now in use. The
work of compiling annotating and in
dexing the volume remains with the
code commission and slight delay is
expected on account of the extra labor
involved in classifying the laws passed
at the last session of the legislature
which will bring the code up TO date
The book must be completed by the first
of September and will be certified to by
the Supreme Court of the State. The
Supreme Judges formed the code COM
mission.
The code, when completed and ready
for distribution, will be a credit to the
State, il not to the entire west. The
commission followed the codes now
used by California, Oregon, Idaho,
Montana, Utah and, in fact, many Of the
Western States, in the compilation, and
as a result Nevada will profit with the
advantages of the advanced legislation.
The advance sheets of the new laws
were sent out some time ago, but the
volume did not contain the work of the
code commission, the commission hay
ing been sanctioned by the action
of the legislature passing measure
to that extent, as il was desired to expe-
dite the printing of the new laws with
out any delay, many of the measures
having gone into effect on the date of
their passage, while the code will not
become effective until January |, 1912.

In well known mining case adJudi-
Gated in Colorado, it was held that a
mining corporporation had wrongfully
issued capital stock as full paid in ex-
change for property because the evidence
showed that no discovery of mineral in
place had ever been made and the loca-
ton was, in consequence, void. The in
teresting effect of this decision was that
the corporation was held to have issued
its stock for no consideration. 1t does
not often occur that mining claims are
held void because of failure to make a
discovery, to some extent perhaps, be-
cause the United States government has
not enough agents, if such were deSr-
able, to go behind the alleged proofs OF
discovery.
In some of our greatest mining camps
claims have been located and pushed to
patent upon areas in which there was no
possibility of showing mineral bearing
lode. Nevertheless, the United States
statutes requires discovery TO give
validity to the location, Salt Lake Min

Rodents to be Examined

A letter has been received by DIR. Lee
of the Board of Health and by him re-
ferred to Chairman Mills of the Fish and
Game Commission, in which DR.. Blue
asks permission to send two men to
shoot ground squirrels, prairie dogs and
bush rats for examination purposes.
This is done in view of the extensive
epizootic of plague existing among the
rural rodents of California and it seems
advisable to ascertain whether or not the
infection has been communicated to the
animals of Nevada. The permission has
been granted and the men will be sent
to this State at once to secure the ami
mails for examination. Carson News.

Albertville, February 3-(Special)-A
crazy man named Boyd has been giving
some trouble in the neighborhood. He
came to Capt s. W. Riddles Tuesday
night. DR.. w. A. Elrod was there max
ing a professional call, and encountered
him first. He knocked the doctor down.
Assistance came and they finally got
Boyd in the kitchen and gave him some
thing to eat. They found out that was
what he wanted. He drank half a gal
Ion of water at once. They brought him
into town and confined him in the Gala
boose, sending him to his home yesterday
morning. He had been wandering in the
woods for some weeks. His finger nails
were an inch long. He got away from
his people again and is now at large.
The citizens will make arrangements to
take him to thet hospital as soon as cap
tured.

POULTRY FARM DEVOTED

A. Whitehead Has Place Near Mt Pnson Which Is Devoted
to Production of Eggs For Breeding Purposes
BY WALTER HARPER

We had a story yesterday about an egg
factory that is being established near
Mount Pinson by young college grad
uate.
Today we have a story of the same
kind, but different.
This plant is located near the other,
but will be devoted to the production
Of eggs for breeding purposes, fine breed
ers and chickens for the market. The
plant is being put in operation by L. A.
whitehead, vice president of the Stand
Plant is located just outside the little
village of Mount Pinson, on so acres of
fine bottom and rolling hill land.
The plant was begun last summer and
will be in full operation next fall. There
are several pens of fine chickens already
on the place at work, but there will be
from 300 to 1000, all Of the choicest
breeds, when the plant is in full opera
ton and after all the necessary machin-
cry and buildings are installed.

other chicken food products will be

the spread of any infectious disease from

for the slaughter, as the case may be.
Forty incubators with a capacity of
5000 eggs every q days. are being in
stalled in an incubator, which is situated
partly under ground and capable of ex-
act temperature regulation.
The plant is already being stocked with
more than dozen of the finest breeds
| of chickens, all kept separate and of
which careful daily records as to laying
are kept. This record is most interest
| ing. Every hen on the place has per-
sonal account or entry on the pay roll.
She is carefully credited with every egg
| she lays. so that at the end of the day
the books show just how much work
each hen has performed.
| 1t is a race for the survival of the
fittest, and woe be unto the hen that
falls below the task that is expected of
her.
One of the most interesting pens on the
place is composed of a family directly de-
scending from the famous Peggy, the
$4,000 hen that was exhibited at the Ala
bama State Fair in Birmingham two
years ago.
Another family residing now at the
Whitehead resort boasts of having won
high prize at fancy poultry show at
Boston.
Mr.. Whitehead is sparing no money or
pains to secure the very finest breeds in
the country and will keep them so by
careful elimination and scientific breed
| ing.
The proprietor of this plant is an orig
inal farmer. Sitting in his office in the
Brown-Marx building, you would not
suspect that he plowed the red hills of
Georgia barefooted and underwent all
the essential hardships of husking corn
for the pigs and splitting the kindlng
