Hogs-The American Swine.
This is a dissertation on the Amer
iean hog-swine-not the two.legged
kind that kick en the hotel service,
take up two seats in the railway
train, and go through life grunting,
grumbling and kicking against every
thing in general and nothing in par
ticular. but the four-footed, cloven
hoofed, swill-sucking animal that,
when killed, is good to eat all the
way from the end of his nose to the
tip of his tail.
This county spends thousands of
dollars annually for pork and bacon,
and this money goes to the West
when it should stay right amongst
us.
We have naturally a grain and
stock climate here in this Alpine re
gion, and it. is.sheer foolishness fot
the farmer of to-day to raise cotton
and expict Nlo buy all he needs wilt
cotton-money. Horse[, mules, cattle,
chickens, hogs-all these things cau:
be raised hero-along with corn, rye,
wheat, oats, potatoes, and all the
vegetables and fruits, and each and
every one cai, and will, bring good
money. All that is needed is a feu
good canningfactorie. and a few
farImVs to take the lead. There ar<
indep)endent fortunes here for th<
pioneers in intensified and diversitiei
farming. Its possibilities are untoldi
But to return "to the hog --tha
animal when killed, fresh, at Christ
mas timo, gives us sparerib and back
bone pie, blood and liver pudding
which, in the spring, gives us hop
jowl and turnip-greene. and in th
early sunuiner furnishes us with bacoi
and beaus, and rlater on, when con
pany drops im,bow appetizing is a disl
of the thoro ugh ly -eutred, homne-raise
ham! Howv our nostrils distend a
the smell of it frying! Howv oui
"tummnick" has that all-gone, weal
feeling of hunger when we think o
what we are going to have for din
ner. It beats chicken, cake and ice
cream two in the game,
Every year carload after carloa<
\I of hogs are shipped to this country
but wit a little proper care, arrange
ment and expenditure of money hog
could be raised here in plenty fo
about 3 to 4 cents per pound. Wit I
proper pasturage--and it can be hai
right here-there is no telling houn
cheaply hogs could be raised. The;
can be kept from rooting, and whoi
turned on rye or barley, to graze
will grow fat. The Spanish pea nuti
will grow well here, and several ton
of beets to the acre can be easil
raised. We believe the farmer whc
spends his money for hog meat is, t
say the least, acting foolishly. Th
man wh'lo raises cotton to buy hog
meat displays mighty poor judg
ment.
During the nineteenth con tur,
much attention has boon paid to th
breeding of live stock. Great im
provemnent has Lieon made in all dc
niesticated animals, and contagion
diseases have been learned to be sue
cefully combatted. Agricultura
fairs have done much to improve an(
encourage the improvement of livi
stock, and has forced the breedin~
of pedigreed animals. The swine
brought from the Old World throvE
and multiplied abundantly in the
fo'ests of the Now World, and the

farmer bad the idea he could buy his1
meat cheaper than he could raise it,
so we still keep up the farce of buy
ing cheaper meat in the West than
we can raise at home.
Small Industries.
It is the small industry, the diver.
sified industry, that pays and pushes
a town or community along, just as
the smiall farmer, the one who has
his various patches -corn, melons,
beans, onions, tomatoes, roasting
ears, cabbage, etc., and makes some
clear money on each one, so it is with
the small, diversified industries.
They furnish employment of various
kinds, and a person does not have
to be an artisan to make wages.
These industries also make good
money for the stockholders.
Along this line, we understand
there is'ft novoeiont on foot to estab
Ii a laundry in Pickens. An expe
rtinced man is at the head of the
euterpris , and, while ho has capital
onougli to establish the plant him
beif. he prefers to ni'ek it a stoc
C)mpany, and has been offered money
b> put it up, Ite is ia Pickens this
week looking the fi-ld over, and it is
very probabk that before Christmas
thc housewives of this town and
community can put away their wash
tubs and bid defiance to the wash
1r wvorneni.
We hope that the people of the
town, if they' are approached to take
'stock, will not throw cold water on
the proposition, b~ut that they will do
all they can to land the enterprise.

The Nurse's Vocation.
The distinction between the wo
nimn to whom nursing is a vocation
an1d the woman who merelY earns
her living by nursing is II very real
one, al though it is a very difficult
oneI to define. A nurse may be full
of faults and yet have a true voca
tion, while, on the other hand, a
woman of the most estimable type
may b~e lacking in the smallest spark
of the divine fire. The vocation for
nursing leaps out from the hum
blest as wiell as from the highest
homes in the kingdom. Its one
shining mark is its vitality.-Hos

Wouldn't Puff the War.
Napoleon III. had given orders
that reporters should not be per
mitted to accompany the French
troops as reporters. His reason was
characteristic: "The effects of our
'mitrailleuses' will be so terrible,
and those writers will make such de
scriptions of them, that our battles
will impress people as mere maus
sacres, and everybody will have a
horror of them." A reporter of Le
Figaro, Alfred d'Aunay, was so in
dignant at the emperor's order that
he exclaimed: "Very well, then. We
will not puff this war!"
How a Dog Keeps Cool.
Professor E. LA. Tronessart of the
Paris Museum of Natural History, ia
a lecture on animal heat, remarked
that the dog, whose reiirations in re
pose number only twenty-fiv'e or thirty
per minute, may in running acquire a
rate of respiration as hIgh as 350 per
minute. The effect of this acceleratlon
favors the dissipation of aninal heat
by evaporation from the pulmonary
v'esicles. Tihe (log p~erspires very little
or not at all b~y the skin, pulmnonaury
taking the place bf cutaneous trans
piration. It is this fact wvhleh enables
the (log to pursue its gamemt so long
and persistently. Aninals of the cat
family, on the other hand, do not pos
sess this peculiarity, anud for that
reason tigers, panthers and Jions lie
in wait for their p~rey, but (10 not pur'

possesses pulmonary transpiration in
a very high degree.
