Forty Million Pigs Feet a Year,

Chicagoans eat annually about
40, 900, 900 pigs feet. This was the
estimate made by packers and retail
meat dealers. Incidentally it was
announced that the pigs feet season
is in progress. Within few days
retail meatdealers expect big de-
mand for the article, and are laying
in big stocks.
Chicago is said to consume more
pigs feet annually than any other city
in the country. The demandiis largest
in the foreign colonies, but a large
number of Americans are also fond OF
the product.
The Germans and Scandinavians art
said to be the largest consumers. many

To Save Farmers Friends

Fighting for the farmers OF this
country who last year lost over
billion dollars worth OF crops from
insect pests, according to govern
ment reports, the Audubon work
ers are making final efforts to
protect by law the insect-eating
birds that the millinery interests
are claiming the right to slaugh-
ter. While California, Massachu-
sets, Oregon, Ohio, Missouri,
Louisiana, Wisconsin and Wash
ington have already been induced
to properly preserve these bird
crop guards, the Gather dealers OF
New York and many other states
are still able to plumber the farm
ers' fields for their plumage, in
sufficient laws allow them to sell
without fear OF prosecution. 10

LAND IN FARMS.

The small growth in the number
OF farms has not been compen,,
stated by any growth in the size OF
farms, the average number OF
acres in farms having decreased
from 40 in 1900 to 1873 in 1910.
1hei Increase in the total acreage
devoted to agriculture was only
35,I37,ooo acres, or AZ per cent.
The actual area in farms was $685.
$4,000 acres in 1900 and $780,
900 acres in 1910.
Improved land, however, in
creased more rapidly than the to-
tai farm acreage or number O.:
farms, the advance being from
4l4,490,ooo acres in 1900 to 477,-
$4,000 acres in 1910, gain OF
62,404,ooo acres, or 1872 per cent

INCREASE IN FARM NAI-
UES.
In striking contrast with the
slow growth in the number and
acreage OF farms and the area OF
improved land during the ten years
is the enormous rise which has
occurred in the value OF farm pro-
perty. Farm land, exclusive OF
buildings, which was valued at
$I3,o5S,ocS,ooo in 1900, had more
than doubled before 1911, being
then returned as having value OF
$2S, 3S6,77o,ooo. The enormous in
crease here recorded o: SI5,32S,-
10000 represents an advance OF
II7.4 per cent. in the value oi all
land in farms
1t is Immediately evident that
the relatively small increase in
the total acreage OF farm land, ~
per cent. was one OF the least i'm
portant OF the factors causing the
great increase in aggregate value.
The average value OF farm land
per acre increased from $I5.57 in
1000 to S32.49 in 1910, a gain OF
$1,000 per acre, or 1857 per cent.

Farm Values Are
Up Fifteen Billion

Census Director Durand has
given out an important advance
statement from the Bureau OF the
Census containing additional fig
ures and details of the agricul-
tural statistics OF continental
United States, collected at the
Thirteenth Decennial Census, Apr.
IS, 1910.
During the ten years which fol,
lowed the census of 1000, tie pop
ulation OF the United States in
creased 81 per cent, but the num-
Der OF farms did not keep pace
with the increase in population.
From 5,737,372 in 1900 the num-
Der grew to o,34o,357, an increase
OF Coz, 2S5, or 1916 per cent. For
the whole United States this is the
lowest rate Of increase which has
been noted since the number OF
farms was first recorded in 1850.
Measured by number OF ialn 5,
agriculture exhibits a diminished
rate OF increase, and in large areas
OF the country is practically sta
tionary.

looms a danger far greater than most
OF us realize. It is becoming increas-
ingly evident that good blood means
not simply descent from an aristocra-

When we consider that, according
to the latest available census reports,
there are among our 90,OOO,O00 people
at least 100000 who are insane and
feeble minded; 100000 who are blind;
100000 who are blind and deaf ar

behavior Of the prisoner has given
place to dependency and he is now re-

the versions Of the circumstances lead

Son of sevastopoI Defender.
Peter Stolypin was the son of one of
the defenders of Sevastopol, Major
General Arcadia Stolypin. He was
born in 1860. studied law at st. Peters
burg university and began his bureau
cratic career in the department of
crown lands from which he was trans
ferred to the department of home af-
fairs. Retiring to his estates in the
province of Kovno, he was elected mar
shall of the nobility in the province,
serving with such distinction that in
1902 the government appointed him
governor. AS such he won the respect
and liking of all classes, including the
Jews, by his fairness, his frankness
and his ruthless suppression of abuses
by minor officials.
In 1903 he was made governor of
6aratoff and remained in that posi-
ton until called to become minister OF
the interior last March.
Later he was accused by the duma
of lnstigating attacks on the Jews in
his province, but he met these charges
with frmness and dignity that won
general respect. AS premier he en-.
deavored to reform the cabinet by the
Introduction of a number of constitu.
tional democrats of the conservative
element into the ministry, but after
long negotiations the car refused to
accept the conditions to which the pre-.
mier had agreed in his negotiations
for the reorganization of the cabinet.
With the renewal of the agrarian
strikes and disorders on formidable
scale, Premier Stolypin adopted stern
measures of suppression, which caused
the nihilists to mark him for assassin
alton.

AS the summer sun goes down,
meet my Bess at the pasture bars
Afar from the busy town.
She stands where the white-fringed
daisies spring
At the crest of the grassy rise,
With the golden light on her pretty

And a welcome in her eyes.
She's always waiting to greet me
there,
In fair or stormy weather,
And side by side in the gathering
dusk
We wander home together.

On dewy morn in May
But I'll never sell her while she gives
