4 Premature 'BuFial.

: NJ. Thoinot, professor OF forensic
medicine to the. Paris :. Academic de
Medicine, has been Iecturing upon
premature burial, an accidentsthe fear
Of which is. perhaps, not 80 prevalent
as It was in the days OF Edgar Poo.
He gave an interesting description Of
the many inventions devised for tho
avoidance Of this, including the inser-
ton of q breathing tube IL the mouth
of. the corpse, which lie brought
through the lid Of the comm and pro
'ected from the grave. But be declared
That 20 :precaution was 90 satisfactory
rs that of delaying the burial until
the signs Of putrefaction are apparent.
The provisions of the code Napoleon,
which ordain that no burial shall take
place until twenty-four hours after
death and inspection by the medical
authority Of the district, are, he said,
entirely adequate on this point, and
If they are carried out to the full. no
one need have any fear Of. being bur

AS to the last most important fact
or, which is the demand, or the mark
cts, We have every evidence that in
this respect this section of the United
States is at the present time particu-
larly favored.
The last census report for 1910 gave
Utah population Of 373,351 people.
The same census gave Utah popu-
lation of, 64,244 hogs, including young
pigs, or trifle over one hog for every
five and one-half persons on the aver
age, and this would require that every
hog in the State would have to be
slaughtered during the year; whereas,
large percentage of them are kept
over for breeding stock. In the case
of Idaho, with population of 325,594,
we have hog population of 1924
in which case, we have little over
one-half hog for each person, provid-
ing all were slaughtered. 1t can read
lily be seen that these two States do
not in themselves produce. nearly
enough pork for their own supply. The
sheep men of this Intermountain coun-
try estimate that it requires three
pounds of pork product a day
for each one of their employees, which
would mean that for each employee on
the sheep ranches, it would require
over four averaged sized hogs annual
ly. In addition TO our local demands,
for which we pay the highest prices,
we have to the West of us a number
of large cities, particularly Spokane
and Portland, W here large packing
plants have been established, and for
which they have found it necessary to
so to Kansas and Nebraska for their
hogs; which they secure in large num-
bers each month, paying the freight
i'll addition to the market prices in ord
er to get their supplies. These mar
kets belong to our people. 1t has been

favor, it is not too much to hope that
this Intermountain country will soon
become one Of the greatest pork pro-

it IS destined to become as soon as
our farmers avail themselves of the
advantages presented to them for pork
production.
