She gave the ladies some very valuable hints along these lines, and even the men listened with great interest.

Yancy Catter led the discussion on hay and torage crops, and, both being gen- tlemen well versed in these lines, ¢1] heard much which they can adapt to their arioys needs.

Parker is telling some mighty geod stories during the session; he made a hit the other day when a Lill came up in the House pertaining to hogs down in St. Lucie county, The jpdge is an authority on pig stys and ear corn because there is nothing along the ‘“porkopine” line that the gentleman from Fort Pierce does not know. He was regaling fresh stories the other night up !n the Leon, Room 309, and the audi- euce was convulsed. It scemed that some long lanky razor back way down in the wilds of St. Lucie had gone astray and went so fast that one-half got ahead of the other. The Judge got so enthused over the pork- er that he made the statement that while they were sitting in the lit- tle country grocery store awaiting the time when the hog beat the rab- bit that the first thing he knew up came one side of the pig and while they were debating about the balance ¢l the ham, around the corner came the other side and he said that was the reason that sides of bacon were 82 high on the market because razor back hogs were long legged and the hzms being so far removed from the ground proved his assumption about the high price of pork.
