How to Give Salt to Hops.

Hogs need salt as regularly and as
fully as any other stock on the farm,
and as with other stock in nearly all
cases the better plan is to keep sup
ply where they can help themselves
rather than to depend upon giving
them a small supply at stated inter
walls. If they are obliged to go with
out for some time and then have access
to all they can eat at once, there is
always some danger of their eating too
much. A better plan than that of Civ
ing salt alone, even when supply is
kept where they can help themselves,
is to take ashes and salt and mix we'll
together, put in box in corner of
the feeding place and replenish before
the box is entirely empty The hogs
will help themselves and will keep
healthier and thriftier than if the salt
ing is only done at intervals. Prairie

A DECAPrIATED ANARCHIST
His Headless Body Found in Grave.

A Case Of Murder the Motive for Which
Is Shrouded In Deep
Mystery

CHICAGO, July 10.-The Inter-Ocean
today prints the following: J. P. Alsipp,
formerly a Chicagoan, and said to be at
one time an organizer of anarchist groups
in this and other cities, was found dead
near the old graveyard at Socorro. N. M.
a few days ago. The head was severed
from the body and had been carried
away by the perpetrators of the deed.
The case is shrouded in mystery, and it
was not until after the closest search
that the headless trunk was identified as
that of the recent editor Of little paper
in Phoenix, Ariz.
Alsipp was known am ong the western
followers of Herr Most, Parsons and
Spies. better than he was in Chicago.
Here it seems he was a pupil of the men
who led the Haymarket riot, while in
the western towns he was a leader and
oranizer of groups, as the little societies
are called. He was at one time an Off Ger
i'll one of these orders until be became in
yolved in financial difficulty. At Soc
orro it is believed that the deed is the
work of a committee of an anarchist So
ciety bent on vengeance for the betrayal
of the trust imposed upon him as all or
ganizer and financial agent.
Some of the d-time followers OF Herr
Most remember Alsipp but aside from
that nothing of him or his whereabouts
they say is known. and profess surprise
at his death, and ridicule the idea that
any secret anarchistic organization was
responsible for il.
