(From Ft. Worth Bitir-Torogram)
Hog cholera Ib rnging In Kansas
nnd already cntlro herds havo been
Bwopt out of oxlStence. So disastrous
hrts the plaguo become that tho gen-
eral government has been appealed to
nnd .will snd an export to Kansas to
help fight-tho qlngue.
Hog cholera is n frequent visitor to
the Kansas lidg herds sweeping away
thousands of them but; tho Kansas
farmers novcr gets discouraged and
goes to work to build up tho depleted
herds as rapidly as possible for they
find good money in hogs oven if tho
cholera does Kill thousands of them
periodically.
Hog cholera is rarely heard of in
Texas and if Kansas Indiana Illinois
and Missouri farmers can make money
in the hog business with tho cholera
to fight against what can not tho
Texas farmer accomplish with no hog
plague to combat?
The Texas farmor is standing in his"
own light and throwing nway big op-
portunities to inaka money so long as
ho side tracks tho hog business in or-
der to give cotton tho right of way.
Hogs give quicker and bigger returns
from money invested in them than any
other crop raised in the state of Tex-
as and any man who will take them
to study and hog business will bo forc-
ed to admit it.
Tho hog business of Texas Is in-'
creasing sonic but not nearly so rap-
idly as It should. There are hot hogs
enough to the United States to supply
the demand. for pork products and as
nothing kills hogs in Texas but the
butcher this Is the state that should
elad in the hog raising business.
Porkers Scarce all out Blue Grass
Stale.
"The hog situation In Kentucky is
absolutely distressing" says Walter
Bunton of Simpson county that state
who is in Fort Worth on a visit. "Pro-
vailing high prices have resulted in
farmers Selling nearly everything
salable in the hog line and they have
not stock hogs enough to raise a new
crop of pigs from.
"The same conditions prevail in In-
diana and Tennessee as is evidenced
by farmers from those two states be-
ing in Kentucky trying to buy stock-
qrs and breeders; and at the same tlmo
'Kentucky farmers are in Tennessee
and Indiana trying to buy hogs for
breeding purposes themselves.Tho slt-
uation is both sorious and comical.
"I have been raising hogs for fifteen
years and I have never known such
Sf ' conditions as now prevail; and there
Can bQ but one result tho nog stocic
of the country has run down so low
that tho pig crOp this fall nnd next
spring fill not any way near build Jhe
supply up to what the demand will be;
consequently high priced hogs will be
in evidence all of 1 910 and may be
longer.
"I have heen in Texas a little over
two months and havo visited a great
number of counties. I am surprised at
the small number of hogs In the state.
Conditions here are admirable for hog
raising. Hog cholera is hardly known1
and Texas farmers could engage In no
branch of farming that would yield
better returns than hog raising. Why
your alfalfa fields and Bermuda pas-
tures will bring a hog up fat to the
finishing off point and the cost up to
that point would be a mere bagatelle
( compared with what it is in the corn
belt proper. Why your farmers don't
catch on to that and g to raising hogs
Is a pnl3 to mo. 7hev aro llunwing
away tho Inst opportunity to make
money quick that they will ever havo
Hog raisin; fconi wlnt hear pbott

posing of my interests in Kentucky
and coming to Texas and engaging In
hog raising hero; vory likely I will
do so ".

lark in the bright sunshine promises
to even up .things next year bringing
about ail increase in the number of
hogs In the country. That is the view
the Omaha Journal-Stockman takes of
tho situation. It says:
Packets have been scanning the
horizon anxiously for many months in ; ly to become the subject of legal nc-
the hope of discovering some bearish J Hon by tile Department of Justico that
&lgns but have been unable to detect
any. About tho only hope left is that
the prevailing high price of hogs will
stimulate their production. It takes a
gofld while to produce a crop of hogs
however and before any big crop is
raised the country will have to stock
up on "breeding stock. Every time a
farmer runs short on his supply of
hogs he lives to regret it as year in
and year out they are the best money
makers on the farm.

AFTER COTTON (UtiltrXItS
XEW YOftK Nov . 29. -Tho New
York Herald will today print tho fol-
lowing: Washington Nov. 28. Cotton gam-
bling in New York and Boston is like-
may result in landing In jail some
of the biggest cotton speculators of
the country under tho provisions of
tho Sherman anti-trust law.
While no action lias yet been taken
by Attorney General Wlckersham
President Taft has discussed the mat-
ter with him with a view to planning
a thorough investigation by his depart
ment and the Department of Com-
merce and Labor.
From New York today came tho ru-
mor which has not been denied in
ofllcial circles here that such an in-
vestigation has already been ordered
by the President and is about to begin
in Now oYrk under the direction of
Herbert Knox Smith Commissioner of
Corporations. It was loarned hero to-
wiight that if this work has been under
taken by the Government secret
agents of the Bureau of Corporations
will bo employed and for tho present
nothing will bo divulged in regard to
tho work
Behind this latest move on tho part
of the Fedoral Government are the
Congressional delegations of nil of the
cotton state of the South and of the
Now England states in which tho great
textile mills are locnted. Ono man
who is largely responsible for tho In-
terest Which mouthers of Congress and
tho President havo shown in cotton
speculation is Senator John Walter
Smith of South Carolina who for
ninny years has been prominently iden
tlfled with tho cotton growers and
camo to tho Sennto with tho avowed
purposo of "going after" tho manipu-
lators of tho pi ice of tho Sottfli's
greatest product. Hs cotton speeches
in the Sennto last winter attracted
wide attention nnd greatly impressed
his colleagues.
Cotton mm owners who are ready to
furnish tho Government with Informa-
tion and nro. determined to wage the
fight to the very end nro said to rep-
resent nn aggregato capital of $250
000. Their Interest nnd thnt of tho
cotton growers Is practically tho same
u this instance' and tho fact that they
havo joined forces to aid tho Govern-
ment in ItB proposed investigation nnd
probable legal action is taken here to
mean that the work will bo dotio thor-
oughly. QIHcials of tho Department ot -Justice
who rofiiBo to discuss what the
Government Js doing In this connect-
ion nevertheless declnred today that

"Yes. I had spells of heart throbbing
