E. B. Nix Gets $71.60 For Three Pigs.
Mr. E. B. Nix killed four pigs
Wednesday. They were nine and
one-half months old. The first
thing Brannon did when he had
them all cleaned was to cut up the
best one and salt it down for family
use. The other three he brought
to town and sold them, for which
he received $71.60. This is at
least equal in value to two bales of
cotton. Brannon has made two or
three bales of cotton this year. lie
knows what it takes to make cotton
and he knows what it costs to raise
hogs. When asked about the cost
of raising hogs Brannon told us
that the pigs had not had any corn
until he put them up to fatten, and
readily acknowledged that all of
them had not eaten as much corn
as it would be necessary to feed a
mule to cultivate ground enough to
make two bales of cotton, Georgia
needs to raise more hog and
hominy.

Relation 01 Size Of Business
To Farmer’s income
A careful study by Governmen
ment experts in regard to the pro¬
fits made by a large number of
farmers in different parts of the
United States shows that the size
of the farm business is one of the
most important factors controlling
the farmer’s income. The problem
of how large an investment is
needed in order to carry on a cer¬
tain type of fanning to advantage
is of the utmost importance.’ The
amount of this investment will
vary according to the type of farm¬
ing and to the region selected.
In a survey of over 100 farms in
an irrigated distfict in Utah only
three farm owners, with less than
$10,000 total capital, received a
labor income of more than $1,000
for their year’s work.
By labor income in this case is
ment what remains of the net in¬
come after deducting 6 per cent for
invested capital and working cap¬
ital; in other words, what, the far¬
mer himself receives for his . year’s
work and supervision.
In a group of 35 olbese men,who
had small farms and an average
capital of $5,345, the average labor
income was $235. One out of
every five received nothing for his
labor and made less than 5 per cent
interest on his farm investment.
With high-priced land this amount
of capital gave him too small an
area to utilize to advantage. if
land were cheaper, so that a much
larger area could be obtained with
this same amogiiit of money, then
$io,oooin'ight fee a sdfficientl|Ynve.st
njnt to give the farmer a siihstan
In the Central States, where
corn, wheat, and oats are the pre¬
vailing crops and where land is
from $150 to $250 an acre, $10,000
would be entirely too small an in¬
vestment to yield the owner a good
income, for the reason that 40 to 50
acres—the total amount of land of
he could possibly buy with this
amount of money—would not util¬
ize his teams, machenery, or labor
to the fullest advantage.
On the other hand, the number
of acres is not always a true mea¬
sure, as a big business can be con¬
ducted on a small area ; 20 acres of
truck and small fruits may equal
200-acrc farm devoted to grain,hay, ” 2
cattle, arid hogs. ” It is the type - 1 of
fanning o that determines the miin- 1111m
her of acres necessary for efficient
operation.

Belgian Immigration Move

A New York man promised a woman

extolling poverty.
Abraham Lincoln was born In the
country. He was born in an era when
poverty, while it may have been bit¬
ter, had not the Dug which the pov¬
erty of today has. He had for his
guides a .woman’s love and kindness,
the Bible, and Shakespeare. Napoleon
had rio home advantages, but it was
his good fortune to be drawn into
proper and, to him, inspiring school
associations. His studies absorbed
him. They supplied him sinews for
ambition and stuff for dreams. His¬
tory might have borne an entirely dif¬
ferent physiognomy, however, if Na¬
poleon, instead of being born in Cor¬
sica, had been born in the underworld
of Paris, the underworld of even Ills
day, says the Chicago Tribune. If
r hraham Lincoln had been born in
a slum M'iw those we have in Chicago
o. New York today, he might not have
ended as the great emancipator. These
reflections are forced to mind by re¬
cent utterances of Hr. Charles W. El¬
iot, ex-president of Harvard, extolling
poverty and implying that it makes
for virtue rather than for vice. The
sincerity of the venerable scholar can¬
not be questioned. But apparently he
is «completely out of touch with the
life of 'he cities, or industrial centers,
big and little. Poverty breeds slums.
The slums destroy the health of their
irh; bit antsy They distort their vision,
and there can be no sane mind in an
unhealthy body. Where the condi¬
tions of life are as brutish and foul
th they are in the slum, virtue cannot
thrive.
Conferences held under the direc¬
tion of the legal research bureau of
Columbia university give renewed
hope of a simplified system of court
procedure in criminal cases, and
eventually of simplified proceedings in
all kinds, says the New York World.
There in no dispute as to the need of
such reform. A host of judges, law¬
yers and k-gbilators have united in
hearing v, ltr.ess to t lie evils of the
existing system-., Moreover, the facts
that develop under the eyes of the
nohlb ft! i-Ahi's that attract popular
attention have long ago convinced lay¬
men that law reform ought to have
u ,,<f ‘ attention. The conference,
therefore, will turn not so much upon
what, changes are needed as upon how
they 1 ;ui he in st effected. It is not to
be expected lhat unanimity on any is¬
sue will In; attained. Still, something
is doing.
Criticism of lavish expenditure at,
funerals, which is renewed in this
country every few years, has received
fresh provocation from recent pub¬
lications n-parding the amounts paid
for the Inst, rites of workingmen
killed by accident and leaving little
provision for wives and families.
Think of $150 devoted to Hie single
item of the purchase of a casket in
such a cane, which is said to be an
extravagance of common occurrence.
The way to remedy an evil of this
kind is not to make a new law, but
to create a wholesome public senti¬
ment. Without public sentiment be¬
hind it a law could not be enforced,
and with such sentiment it will not
be needed.
It has been pretty certain that the
latest German dreadnoughts will be
armed with 15-incli guns. If so, the
German battleships will lead the
world in the power of the individual
units of their main batteries.
earliest German battleships, corre
sponding in date to the United States
ship Oregon, were armed with a gua
of only about nine and one-half inches
caliber. The next advance was to
an 11-inch piece; then to a 12-inch,
which is the gun with which the ships
or the current program are being
armed. A 12-inch gun fires a shell
weighing some 870 pounds, but the
shell for the 15-inch gun will be prob
ably about 1,800 pounds in weight.
A French physician advocates can¬
nibalism as a cure for indigestion.
The beauty of the theory is that its
practice would cure both consumer
and consumed. This theory, gravely
advanced, ought to satisfy those fiery
ones who are anxious to eat their
enemies up alive.
As to estimate that $75,000,000
worth of eggs are lost each year by
being broken, we presume to be meant
that they were broken when not de¬
sired. How an egg can be used for
anything without breaking it has not
yet been discovered.
Aeroplanes are now being built
which will carry a dozen passengers.
