DISTRICT BUSINESS
MEN TO CONSIDER
TAXATION REPORT
Civic and Commercial Bodies
to Discuss Question
During Fall.

A thorough consideration of the vari-
Henry George taxation and assessment
report is certain to be undertaken by
the various civic and commercial organ
izations OF the city when they meet
after the summer recess. There Is now
nothing like unanimity of opinion among
real estate and other business men
with respect to the report, so that its
consideration in detail by the various
representative organizations is expected
to throw some light upon the general
feeling of the community.
The organizations in which members
action are the Chamber of Commerce,
the Board Of Trade, the Real Estate
Brokers Association, and the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations. All of
these organizations have meetings next
month with the exception Of the Board
of Trade, but the directors OF that or
ganization will have meeting the first
Monday in October unless a special
meeting is called meantime.
Under the understanding with the
Chamber of Commerce the Retail Mer-
chants Association Is expected to leave
the consideration Of the report to the
chamber.
There are so many recommendations
III tlc ltpoIl Aiu Inc Odld OH WHICH Il6
recommendations are based are so nu-
merous that few aer willing as yet TO
| discuss the matter In the detail The
conclusion Of the committee that the
! total taxable realty values of the Dis
trict amount to $744, ,OOO, 600 is criticised
upon the g1 ound that that the commit
tee could not possibly have reached an
intelligent conclusion in the investiga-
| ton, and the difficulty in determining
! values by condemnation commissions Is
| pointed to in support OF this conten-
| ton.
Much OF the opposition to the require
| ment of true consideration in deeds
which is recommendation of the com.
| mittee, is not in evidence now, although
| the real estate men very generally op
! posed this program last winter.

and particularly the peanuts, add fat
with astonishing rapidity, but the fat
is very soft. Peanut fat in particular
has a translucent, oily character,
which, from its tendency TO drip
when the hams are hung up, causes
a shrinkage in the weight.
After the razor-back has cleaned
up the fields, the next step is to pen
him up and give him corn and plenty
OF clean water With this diet he
fattens quickly to the desired extent.
The curing of the hams is accom-
plished according to a certain formu-
la (Which has once or twice been pub
lished in Farm Journal and the Ocala
Banner too) and the smoking is care
fully done with green hickory wood.
Many farmers raise the hogs, but few
cure them They are sold to skilled
curers, who supply the market with
about 100000 pounds OF hams yearly.

THE RAZOR BACKS"

Soon "hogkilling time will be
upon US, so a word about the hog and
his bi-products ought not TO be out of
place
Strange as it may sound, the
'Smithfield ham, of Virginia, whose
reputation is international. is said to
be the product of the razor back" a
semi-wild friendless variety, found in
the mountains of Virginia, Kentucky
and Tennessee. and one does not have
TO put on magnifying glasses to find
him in conspicuous evidence in Flor.
ida
The Philadelphia Farm Journal
says that although described as long
nosed, slab-sided, flat. fiounder-like
and having bad name among farm
ers who breed fine stocks, the hams
have no equal in the world.
Much, however, that paper says, de
ponds on the proper feeding and up
on the curing of the hams For d
time in the youth of the razor back he
is allowed in the summer to run wild
IN the woods and gain a gamey flavor
when he is turned into fields from
which crops have been gathered
there he begins to fatten. OF this fat
tening process a government report
says:
I'm the fall, when the corn crop
has been gathered, the hogs are turn
ed into the corn fields. In these fields
every other row has been planted to
black-eyed peas. and the hogs are al
lowed to gather these and the small
corn that has been left When turn
ed into these fields they are very
thin. The feed they get there causes
them to begin to fatten rapidly. AS
the potatoes are gathered the hogs
are allowed to follow in these fields
and get the small potatoes that arc
| left. In the district which produces
| the Smithfield hams there are a great
many sweet potatoes and peanuts
raised, and the hogs are allowed free
access to these fields as soon as the
crops are gathered. The potatoes

That Mrs. Nicholas Longworth,
daughter of ex-President Roosevelt,
and her husband, Congressman Long
worth, of Ohio, may succeed Mr.. and
Mrs. Whitelaw Reid in the United

James, London, is the sum and sub

So satin. supercilious,
So bold loves arrogant
And unlimited guest,
A boy lies sleeping
'Gainst his mothers breast.
Like some rich miser
Guarding all his gold!
OF all the worlds
OF which he had the choice
Why did he choose
The gray and gloomy Earth?
Within those fairy realms,
Where. ere his birth,
His soul sOjourned.
Perhaps he heard a voice!
Some whisper of
The beauty of my wife!
Some whisper of the glory
OF her eyes
He envied me the languOr
OF her signs!
He plotted for the magic
OF my life!
Into our splendid dream
Of love he stole!
And 10. he wrought
Himself so fair
Out of her blood
That ere l was aware
Her beauty and her love
Were all his own.
