PROFIT IN WHEAT AND HOGS
Whitman County Farmer Tells How
He Combines Industries.

Pullman Dan Kinsinger, Of Whit
man county, shipped carload of fat
hogs to Spokane recently, gettlng.8
cents pound, Mr.. Kinsinger loaded
the hogs at Almota and shipped them
via Lewiston. They were sold to the
e. H. Stanton company. Mr.. Kin
singer is farming 1900 acres lying
four miles north of Almota. He has
400 acres fenced hog tight, and
raises from 1900 to 1900 head each
year. He sold a little more than
$4,000 worth of hogs at one shipment
in September, and still has about 1900
head left.
Mr.. Kinsinger figures on marketing
his hogs at from 225 to ESQ pounds
weight. He has been in the business
many years, has made a success of it
and is regarded as an authority on hog
raising. Asked for a statement of
the cost of producing pork in the Pa
louise country, Mr.. Kinsinger said:
81 raise hogs and wheat. | pasture
the hogs on alfalfa and summer fallow
and turn them into the stubble fields
after harvest. find that hogs can be
grown and fattened here at a good
profit in connection with wheat rails
ing. When we feed wheat we esti-
mate five bushels to keep a pig from
weaving until fattening time and from
five to eight bushels to fatten him,
making total of from 10 to 13 bush
els of wheat to produce hog weigh
ing from 225 to $50 pounds. I have
found it profitable.
81 ship my own hogs. / can ship
one or more carloads of hogs just as
we'll as the buyer and I can save his
profit. If he can come to my place
and buy my hogs and load them and
ship them and make profit l can do
the same thing. I try to get all that
there is in the business for myself and
cut out the middlemen's profits.
The average price of the lower
grades of wheat, which make excellent
feed for hogs, has been about 60 cents
a bushel, delivered in sacks at the
warehouses, for several years. By
feeding the wheat to hogs the expense
of sacks and hauling, fully equal to 10
cents bushel, is saved, and reduces
the actual cost of the feed to so cents a
bushel. According to Mr.. Kinsinger's
figures, it costs him from $40 to
$11.50 to produce 225 to ESQ pounds of
pork. This is less than cents a
pound, and he has received an average
Of more than cents pound for hogs
for the last three years, and they have
not been below cents a pound for six
years, showing good per cent of
profit.

BARRIERS Mortality High.

Sacramento Fewer bankers and
more BARRIERS die Of tuberculosis than
any other workers classified by the
state board of health, according to
a report just made public. Bankers,
brokers, business men and those in gen.
eral whose work is mental rather than
physical and whose surroundings at
work and at home are almost ideally
sanitary, show the highest resistance.
BARRIERS and hairdressers show the
astonishing death rate from tuber-
culosis of fraction more than one in
every four.

EPIGRAMs OF J. PIERPONT MORGAN.
All the money in Christendom and
all the banks in Christendom could
not form a monopoly that would
control money.
I What I call money is the basis of
banking.
I If he had the credit and I had the
t money referring to a hypothetical
I man in control of the credit of the
t country, his customer would be
badly off.
: When man has vast power and
abuses it, he loses it-and he never
gets it back again, either.
The question of control, in this
country, at least, is personal; that
is, in money.
would rather have competition.
You must remember that not all
securities sold and issued are al
ways good, and when there is re-
sponsible fiscal agent, there is NOR
al strength behind them.
American stockholders take little
interest in the management of their
corporations. That is why we or
ganize a voting trust in order to
protect the company.
There is no place where mergers
and consultations have taken place
to the extent they have in Great
Britain.
"You believe in buying up the
competing line?" asked Mr.. Inter
myer. why, sure, said Mr..
Morgan.
My idea is that it (the stock of
the Equitable company should be
turned over to the policy-holders.

May Stop Heifer Calf Slaughter.

Pullman = That the slaughter of
heifer calves for veal will be checked
as result of the recent live stock
show at Lewiston, is the opinion of
men who visited the show and saw the
fine cattle exhibited there and learned
of the prices commanded by good cat
tie. j. H. T. Smith, a farmer and
breeder Of pure-bred Berkshire hogs,
near Pullman, said: "The show was
revelation to me and has opened my
eyes. / have determined to stop kill
ing calves, especially the heifer calves,
and will raise more CATTLE"

 The pursuers then had spent weeks plunging through the almost impass- able jungle. Rogers cunningly lead ing them through the densest of swalnps and forests and across deep streams. Before the outlaw was over taken he had crossed the Nile into the Belgian Congo.
 Locating The Quarry.
 Creeping up the Uganda bank of the Nile, the expedition pushed for ward for six weeks before the quarry was located. Fox and his men then had worn their clothes to tatters and exhausted their supplies, leaving them facing starvation in the wilderness.
 The last 12 hours of the pursuit were particularly trying. The chase led over a mountain, with Rogers men only 8 short distance in advance. As they fled, the ape-like natives of the outlaw sent back taunts and 5eers at their parsuers.

 Fearing that the revolver which menaced him might be discharged at any moment, Captain Fox argued with the outlaw in order to gain time. Fin ally the outlaw turned to his conpan- ion whom he addressed as doctor, and said: 'I want you to witness what I say doctor. Captain Fox I am a dy- ing man. so I would not lie about any, thing.

 He crouched for a few minutes in the snow, looking at the pale filter of light that came through hole in the curtain of the woman's window, and as he looked something came between him and the light. With the caution of lynx, his head close to the snow, he peered around the logs. It was the Englishman who stood looking through the window.
 Mukee's moccasined feet made no soun6. His hand fell as gently as a chilQs upon the strangers arm.
 "Thees is not the honor of the beeg snows," he whispered. "Comew
 The Englishman chuckled. Then Mukee's hands changed. They flew to the thick, reckoning throat of the man from civilization, and without sound the two sank together upon the snow.
 The next day a messenger behind six dogs set out for Fort Churchill with word for the company's home office that the Englishman had died in the big snow, which was true.
 Mukee told this to Jan, for there was the bond of blood between them.

 This prediction proved correct, fol these were his last words.
 Throughout his talk with Captain Fox, Rogers shielded his white com panion, and did not reveal his identi- ty. Captain Fox's report was silent on this point as he did not know the doctor. It is thought likely, however that this was done to protect the man

It was not hard for Jan to under stand, for he, too, worshiped the mem ory of wh1te, sweet face like the one that he had seen in the cabin.

 A year after Cummins brought his wife into the north, a man came to. the post from Fort Churchill, on HHd- sons bay. He was an. Englishman belonging to the home office of the Hudson's Bay company in London. He brought with him. something new, as the woman had brought something new, only in this instance it was an element of life which Cummins' peo- pie could not understand.
 Cummins was away for month on n trapllne that went into the barren lands. At these times the woman fell as a heritage to those who remained, and they watched over her as parent might guard its child. Yet the keen est eyes would not have perceived that this was S0.
 With Cummins gone the tragedy pro- gressed swiftly toward fnality. The EnRlishman came from among women. For months he had been in a torment of desclat1un. Cummins' wife was to him like flower suddenly come to re- lieve the, tantalizing barrepness of a desert, and with the wiles and ways Of of-civiHzation he sought to breathe it's fragrance.
 AS yet there was no suspicion in her soul. she accepted the Englishman's friendship, for he was a stranger among her people. She did not hear the false note, she saw no step that promised evil. Only the men at the post heard and saw and understood But they were quiet, evaded the Eng Hshman as much as possible and watched always watched.
 One day something happened. Gum mins' wife came into the company's store, and a quick flush shot into her cheeks and the glitter of blue dia- monds into her eyes when she saw the stranger standing there The mans red face grew redder, and he shifted his gaze.
