Bro. WOOD, Of The Steele Ozone,
was one of the attendants at a Jeffer-
sonian banquet given at the popular
Custer House, Bismarck, recently,
and in reporting the toasts and re-
sponses has it that Gov. Shortridge
was "outspoken in vindication of fusion
as way to success" Yes, just so !!
1t was fusion that made the way to
success easy for him to occupy the
Governors chair, and his reign and
that of his party produced sucha con-
fusion that it was easier for him and
them to slide down hill. Even his
own party repudiated his fusion pro-
clivities for the Offices.

PIG TROUGHS.
N. J. Shepherd.

1t is very essential in feeding pigs W
the best advantage, to have a SIMPLY OF
these. They should be OF sufiiclen'
length to afford every pig good op-
nortunity to receive its share OF feed.
In order to prevent, in measure az
least, one hog securing more than us
share, Stats should be nailed across the
top of the trough at regular Intervals
The v shaped troughs are rather the
easiest made, and require little less
material and, of course, cost the least
at the start, but they are much ester
turned over and hence have to 6e 1ast-
ened down tight. Unless the stats are
kept nailed on tight they afford pet
ter opportunity for the larger ana
stronger pigs to get more than thelr
share. Then they hold but small
quantity Of feed unless made SO high
that little pigs could not eat out OF them
to good advantage.
A fiat bottom trough is better every
way especially for feeding Stops SIX
inch strips nailed on to an eight or ten
inch plank two inches thick, makes
good one; then strips can be nailed
across the top that will keep the hogs
from getting inside, and in great
measure prevent one or two hogs from
crowding others away.
Another advantage with fiat bot
tom trough is, that it compels the pigs
and hogs to eat more slowly, and thls
secures better mastication OF the feed.
In feeding one of three plans should
be adopted. One is to have a trough
arranged so that the slops or watercan
be poured into it from the outside, as
hog seems to have natural inc lima
ton to crowd up to where the food is
being poured in, and as natural con-
sequence more or less of it is wasted.
Another plan is to have a gate or
door to the pen or house that can be
closed until the feed is put in.
Another plan is to have a partition
that when opened one way will put the
trough on the outside of the pen and
when pushed to the other side will put
the troughs on the inside, Any plan
that will permit the food being put in
the trough before the hogs are allowed
access to the troughs will be better
than to attemp. to put in the feed with
them around the trough
Butitis necessary to keep the troughs
clean, and it will be necessary to scald
out occasionally with water into which
either carbolic acid or copperas has
been added. This will purify, and dis
infect and materially lessen the risks
of disease.

A Fellow West VirSinian Wants Him
for President.

Ex-Commssioner of the Internal Revenue
John W. Mason indorses Judge Golf of
West Virginia for the presidency and be-
lieves that the man who gained such wide
reputation for his judicial decisions will
make most acceptable candidate for that
office.
In talking over the chances of Judge Goff
for the republican nomination, Mr.. Mason
said:
Never before in the history of the coun-
try has 1t been SO necessary to have a
southern man head the ticket. The cleo
tions during the past year in the south
have shown that that section is more
than ready to come into the republican
ranks if local prejudices can be broken
down. Republican doctrines are spreading
in all the manufacturing and other indus
trial districts of the southern states ard
the liberal element there would like to in
dorse these principles by voting for a re-
publican president. Louisiana might be
carried by the republicans, and if Judge
Goff We're nominated West Virginia would
surely indorse him and there would be
great probability of carrying Virginia. If
1t could only be said that a republican vote
would mean that a SOutherner would be
placed in the White House, much of the an
tagonism of the southern people would be
overcome

Japan, has from time to time cast on it's

From the time of the Manchu conquest,
in 1853, down to the present day, China has
been gradually annexing Formosa, not by
military operations, but by the most power
full of all agencies immigration. Neverthe-
less. the results of two centuries of con-
slant immigration have been very small,
when we recollect that Formosa is only
about 100 miles in a direct line from the
teeming mainland, where, as De Quincy
said, man is a weed, and, that whatever
differences there are in climate should
rather invite than repel emigrants.
The native FormoSans seem to be nearly
as tenacious as the Chinese themselves but
they are slowly giving way before superior
numbers From Kelung. Tamsui, Taiwan
and other settlements on the west coast the
Chinese gradually extended up the rivers
and over the alluviaI plains, carrying on
constant war with the natives, civiliZing
some, killing others, but always holding
what they had got and usually advancing
a step forward.
In two centuries the natives who refused
to bow their necks to the yoke and who
preferred independence and their native
savagery, have been driven into the noun
tains, where the Chinese advance has
stopped probably because the soil was un-
inviting.

MARTrs DEATH DOUBTED.
Cuban RevolutiOnists Have No News


of 1t.
NEW YORK. May 25.-Senor Diego Ra-
mirez, a prominent Cuban revolutionist, in
an interview, says:
1T may be true that Marti has been
killed, but the stories about his death are
so conflicting that cannot believe 1t until
our party receives confirmation of the news.
1t is very strange that We have received no
word in regard to 1t.
There are two facts which lead to
place no confidence in the report. one is
tempt to raise loan in Paris and wants to
show that things in Cuba are turning in
favor of the Spaniards. The other is that
they have just announced that reporters
will not be allowed to go to the insurgents
camp.
There are other men among them the
name of Mart and, for that matter, more
than one man bearing Marti's Christian
name-Jose. Maybe the Spaniards killed a
Jose Marti, but not the great general Of
that name. Our chief argument against
the report, however, is that Gomez and
Marti had, only two or three days before,
fought a battle in Camasan, some 200 miles
from Dos Rios, where they said to have
been killed, and between Dos Rios and
Camasan, which is away on the northeast,
the country is very mountainous and could
not be travelled in two or three days.
But admitting that Gen. Jose Marti be
really dead. we should deplore his loss sim
cerely, but it would not affect the cause in
the slightest degree. There are many ready
to take his place, and fighting will be con-
tinued with redoubled vigor. for the Cubans
will be animated by the desire to avenge
