will please step down here and, with
me for the subject, illustrate just how

Owing to the unmerciful badgering
which the witness had Just been
through, the prosecutor thought that
the young man would perhaps overdo
the matter to get back at him, and
thus incriminate himself.
The defendant descended as per
schedule, and approached the waiting
attorney. When he reached him the

There is some doubht in the minds
of those best informed concerning the
business of feeding hogs for market
while feed is so high. But, when we
notice the price* of cured meat no
one should doubt that it will pay the I
farmer to feed hogs enough to furnish
his family with pork, If he can poa-1
slbly get the piga to feed and the,
train to fatten them.
When we notice that the lowest,
price quoted for any kind of cured,
meat Is 28 cents per pound, we aug- j
gest that every family wanting to
eat pork next summer may do well to
consider fattening enough hogs to
furnlah pork for home use.
