THIS man A GENIUS At
RAISING CORN AND PIGS
Story Shows What Making a
Specially OF a Thing
Will Accomplish.

In the Interesting People" de
partment of the August American
Magazine appear picture and
sketch of John Honeycutt who lives
in Illinois where he is a leader
among farmers in the business of
raising corn and hogs. He Is call
ed the Pied Piper of Pigdom. Fol-
lowing is an extract from the arti-
Gle:
"A few years ago disputatious
blue-eyed printer named John Hon
eycutt immigrated from Chicago to
Amboy, Illinois, a little town ninety
miles to the west.
From the very start the natives
realized that this city person had
farm, he wanted a section--siX hun
dred and forty acres. He did not
want silo; he did want machinery.
He did not want a threshing gang:
he wanted his own outfit. He did
not want too many barns, and he
did not want a party telephone. He
did want miles of stockyard fence,
he did want private wire to AM
boy---so he built the fence, and one
morning before the county commits
sioners were up he helped his own
grang of recruits start Il private
wire to the town five miles away.
When he came to plant his corn he
persisted in testing his seed When
he came to breed hogs. instead of
one brood from one animal in one
ten. too, he raised every little pig
that came, and when carload of
them were 275 days old and weigh
ed 275 pounds he shipped them over
the ninety miles to Chicago.
Not many months went by be-
fore the native sons of Illinois be-
gan to look upon John Honeycutt as
an educational institution that de-
served watching. They passed the
word out that the city person was
genius at raising corn and at rails
ing, feeding and selling hogs. And
the buyers for 1.-THE Chicago stock
yards passed the word out also
Thus, before long. through farm
journals John Honeycutt came to be
known far and wide.
THE populace of the little town
is proud of the deeds of her favored
farmer.
The neighbors have learned too,
that for John Honeycutt his market
is his hogs, and to them go every
bit of shredded corn and every spare
potato and every blade of grass.
''He breaches that the cardinal
sin of a hog is slOth and his capital
glory his ability to eat. The
straight and narrow he says. fall
ing into the vernacular, is for a hog
the way over the hills to the
slaughter house, and by the hogs a
man sends is he judged.

If war between Austria and Ser

DR.. Charles Richet, statistician of

that the daily expense of the actual
campaign would be something like
$54 100000.
DR.. Richet bases his estimates on
the assumption that. roughly, 20,-
100000 men would be called to
arms. of whom at least half would
be sent to the front. On this basis
he works out the daily expenditures
