The Conservation, published in
Richmond this state, last week gave
a detailed statement of the cost of
sewers in that town and the aggre-
gate was $18,22010. Of this amount
$103500 was paid to attorneys,

Editors Are Saying

They Should View With Alarm"
The old standpat Republicans are
viewing with alarm" the big work
the Democratic congress is doing
for the common people. A tariff

good work in few years than the
Republican party did in 40 years.

How Pure Breeds Pay

The fact of the. matter is that
many of us are afraid of the pure
breeds of hogs, says E. W. Gage in
the Farm and Fireside. Here is the
way we are apt to look at the mat,
ter The packers will pay just as
much for one hog as another, pro-
vided he has the weight.
That is a fact, but there is better
money, all things considered, in the
pure breed of hogs if bred, as most
are. for vigor, vitality and prolifi
cacy.
Within a year the University OF
Nevada priced a pure bred SOW safe
in pig to would be buyer for $3.50
The price seemed bigger than a
mountain to the average of the state
farmers. and the sale was not made.
The litter of.piss the SOW vas car
rying at the time she was. priced
was later sold at under six months
of age for an aggregate Of $215.
An offlceman, formerly living in
the city, who went into the country
to regain his health, and having a
great desire to 90 into pure bred
stock in all lines, walked into the
office of one of the state colleges of
agriculture and wanted to buy a
pure bred pic for his five acre
ranch He WIS supplied with a
young SOW for $25. His neighbors
threw up their handS-that deal
was the talk of the town for the
coming weeks. The sow's first litter
brought this man $110, while the
second litter sold at about 500.
