Harry Wilson, living northeast of Connersville, is the owner of thirteen pullets that averaged seven eggs a day during the month of December, for which he received $5.78, an amount equal to 33 cents a dozen. A peculiarity of this industrious flock was the fact that not an egg was gathered on Christmas day, all of the hens observing the holiday. About one gallon of fuel alcohol can be distilled from three gallons of molasses. An envelope or package sealed with the white of an egg cannot be steamed open.

The body was shipped here Sunday night on the 11 o’clock train and taken to the residence of John Martindale, on north Forest street.

RAISE MORE HOGS SAYS FARMERS’ PAPER.

Keep Your Breeding Stock and Continued High Prices Are Assured by Drovers’ Journal Expert. The growing of more hogs for the market Is advised by many market journals and on this line the Chicago Drovers’ Journal says: “The extraordinary prices paid for hogs at the present time should not induce farmers to sell their choice breeding animals, as the industry has a brilliant outlook for good prices for several years. In 1908 the census report estimated the total number o 4 hogs in the United States at 56,084,000 and 64,147,000 in 1909. In 1907 there wera reported 54,784,439 hogs, making a decrease In the supply in 1909 as compared with two years previous. “The breed to raise is one the farmer fancies most, as what one admires he is more likely to treat generously. It pays to use thoroughbred sires in the hog Industry, as pure-bred animals are naturally more thrifty and will give better returns for the feed than will mixed or scrub breeding. Poland-China, Berkshire, Yorkshire, Tamworth, Jersey or Duroc Red and other breeds have their fanciers and Are commercially profitable when given the proper attention.

In selecting breeding stock the animals should be chosen from mature parents. Dams that produce large litters are good nurses and raise their offspring are the ideal kind of ancestors to produce choice breeding stock. The sire should have shown ♦ extra quality as a prize winner" or in his progeny carrying off blue ribbons at live stock exhibitions. “Immature animals should not be bred, as reproduction will not only stint the growth, but the offspring of immature sows are generally small and delicate. Greater vigor will be developed in the progeny of mature parents than in the progeny of the immature animals. Constitution is necessary to success in the swine industry as well as in other classes of live stock. “I depends on the breed as to the type of hog produced from the heavy, medium to lightweights. In some breeds all the variations are produced in equal perfection. The heavy grades take longer to mature, but command greated totals when sold by weight. “What the industry needs is a rapid growing hog^that will attain a weight of 225 to 300 pounds at 9 months old. The hog must be a good feeder and the farmer, if possible, should depend largely on an alfalfa pasture to push the growth of the animals. Alfalfa is rich in protein and phosphorus, which build up bone and musclar tissue, and the pasture can be supplemented with moderate rations of grain. The final finishing preparations for market should include all the corn the animals will eat and assimilate. The farmer wants a hog that will return $1.50 to $2 for every $1 worth of corn consumed.”

Special Commercial Club Meeting.

QUEER SENTENCE FOR INDIANAPOLIS BAR KEEPERS.

Mayor Suspends License of Those Who Violate Sunday Closing Law Until They Attend Church. Lew Shank, the new Indianapolis 'mayor, is making an effort to compel saloonkeepers to obey the law and has instructed all of hia policemen to arrest every violates Last week when the Sabbath breakers were brougnt before him he suspended their license until such time as they should attend church and bring proof of their* attendance to the mayor. One of the law-breaking saloonkeepers was Marion L. Cummins, and Sunday he attended the Columbia Avenua M. E. church and the pastor, Rev. James Hixon, gave him a certificate that he had attended the service and listened to the sermon. His saloon had been closed since the Wednesday before, the day that sentence was passed. He was allowed to open up on Monday morning. William Brennan, another saloonkeeper who kept his bar open on Sunday, said he would not go to church, even though his license was permanently revoked. He will probably have the satisfaction of getting what his bluff seems to call for, namely, a permanent revocation of his license. Mayor Shank is endeavoring to make the saloonkeepers of Indianapolis respect the law and his novel sentence has attracted a great deal of attention and seems inclined to make the bar keeps sit up and take notice.

MONTICELLO OFFICIALS HAVE NARROW ESCAPE.

Mayor O’Connor, Four Conncilmen and Chief of Fire Department Damped From Our Fire Wagon. Mayor T. W. O’Connor, Councilman S. W. Thompson, Geo. K. Hughes, JEJ. R. Gardner and C. W. Davis, and Chief of the Fire Department Tony Anhier, of Monticello, came to Rensselaer this Monday morning to look over the Rensselaer fire fighting apparatus and see the system so ably inauguarted by Fire Chief. Montgomery and his corps of fire laddies. That they were all able to return home aliv| is a bit of good fortune. They were invited to take a ride on the hose cart behind Prince and Dewey, and driver Bert Campbell gave them a lively spin down Cullen street. He had slackened up to make the turn west on Grace street and the hind wheel of the wagon skidded on the ice and slipped off the grade and in the twinkling of an eye the hind wheel on the left side crushed down and the hub dragged on the ground. Standing in the rear of the wagon were Councilmen Thompson, Gardner and Davis, while the visiting mayor and Councilman Hughes and Fire Chief Anheir were in the front with Driver Campbell. Fortunately the horses were going little faster Hum a walk or serious injury would suroly have resulted to some of the visitors. As it was no one was even jostled* from his position. It was the driver’s intention to take the visitors anotherlively spin and the wheel, which proved to have besfe defective, would doubtless have broken and a bad spill resulted. Mayor Meyers and the Rensselaer councilmen and other officers acted as hosts to the visitors and all dined at Fate’s Model, and a pleasant time was enjoyed. Mr. Davis will be remembered by some of our Rensselaer people. He was a painter here from 1880 to 1884. He is now engaged in the grocery business at Monticello and was eleced a councilman at the recent city election.
