The United States contains considerably more than one-third of all the swine in
 the world. Swine are less numerous than large. but are more numerous than either in the United States which this year has
 more hogs than it's 10 nearest competitors combined
 These facts showing the vast extent of
 the American hog-growing industry are
 cited by Dr. J. E. Mohler, chief of the
 bureau of animal industry, United States
 department of agriculture, as 'an an
 chor of confidence for weathering periods
 of diversity in pork. production" He concludes that pork products have
 become as well established in the diet of the American people as hogs have become established on farms, and that as more
 than two-thirds of the total 1918 exports of meat were pork products and more than five -sixths of the animal fats ex- ported were lard. there is great po-
 ential pork-absorbng ability in the dense-
 ly populated European countries 'fWe must take care of that business properly and realize that conditions are
 constantly changing both at home and
 abroad, says pr. Mohler. We must
 study carefully what to do next, and then do it promptly
 FOREIGN DEMAND FOR PORK
 Latest reports from department repre- sentatives in Europe indicate that pork importation by the United Kingdom may be considerably smaller in the future than during the war, price being an inn portant factor. In general, 1t appears , that American fresh-pork products have met with favor on the British markets, but there is room for improvement Tn
 the curing of hams and bacon. It is re- ported from France that the swine in- dustry there decreased most rapidly be- tween 1913 and 1916, but the decrease since
 1916 has been comparatively small. Rapid remuneration seems possible with good
 grain and potato crop this year, and a continuation of present high prices. While the best grades of American hams and
 bacon met with French approval. it is said that these products are 100 expensive for the average French family. It is not 1 likely that France will import breeding swine to any large extent, although con- tinued iuportations of meats and fats are 1 expected.
 i South America, on the other hand, is 1 importing swine from the United States with considerable regularity. Since the l first of this year there have been seven purchases and shipments, ranging from atout 90 to 70 head each of pure-bred l animals.
 i The bureau of animal industry is push 1 ing new plans to interest all farmers in 1 the live stock game, and have issued the | following statement:
 1 'sThe most recent activity of the de- ! partment likely to affect the swine indus i try as we'll as other live stock is the proposed new plan for hastening the re- pla cement of inferior sires by good pure | breds. Early in June an outline Of the plan was mailed to about 12oo proml- |

CHICKENS IN FRANCE

Although casual observation in many narts of France indicate that the number of chickens per capita was at least as plentiful as in the United States, there was a general complaint of scarcity. Dressed chickens of average size were re- tailing in the spring at prices equivalent in American currency to about s apiece, and eggs from 70 cents to more than sl a dozen.

At an early age, Eugene Pullen
was an express driver. He handled
railroad baggage. One day after
delivering a heavy trunk on an up
per floor he felt pain in the right
groin. The suffering increased and
it was not long before the young
man noticed the swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear a truss throughout life
or submit to drastic operation. All
surgeons know that hernia opera
tions, with anaesthetics, ETC., are
dangerous; they may end fatally.
Moreover, it is a we'll established
fact that many rupture operations
are not successful; the bowel soon
breaks through the sewed-up open
ing and protrudes worse than ever.
Afraid of Operation.
Like most others, Mr.. Pullen de-
clined to take the risks of an op-
eration; the expense and loss of
time had to be considered, too. Hop
ing he might get little better en-
couragenent, he went to another
physician who, to his sorrow, gave
him even less hope. 1t was pointed
out to the young man that unless
the rupture were perfectly held all
the time or the surgeons knife sue
cessfully used, he might expect an
increase or doubling in the rupture
with further complications, or the
dreaded strangulated hernia which
kills SO many ruptured people.
Victim of Trusscs.
The victim bought a truss, a hard,
spring-like affair, the best he could
get. 1t tortured him. He tried an
other still no relief. He was
compelled to give up his express
business. The hard tasks of ordin-
ary men were forbidden him. He
became an insurance agent, in which
position he did not need to do bodily
work.
For six years Mr.. Pullen dragged
around, using various trusses, hard,
elastic, etc.. with never any. con-
tentment. One day his mother told
him something she had just found
out. 1t was a simple and easy thing
for him to do. He lost no time.
Discarded His Truss.
Relief came at once; he almost
forgot that he had any rupture. Af-
terward came a cure - complete
healing - and, although years have
passed and Mr.. Pullen is an ener-
getic carpenter, working on build
ings, climbing over roofs, lifting
lumber and such like. he is abso-
lutely free from the old hernia. He
knows he is completely, lastingly
cured. There was no operation, no
lost time, no trouble-comfort and
contentment from the very outset.
He is a strong, cheerful-minded
man.
Valuable Information Free.
The valuable information which
Mrs. Pullen read in newspaper
many years ago and gave to her son,
together with further important
facts. will be sent free to any reader
