Washington, March 1S.-It 10
evident that an effort Is being
made by some OF the administration
officials to induce Gen. Wheeler to
withdraw his request for immediate
action upon his resignation. II is
intimated that this effort is attri-
butable solely to an interest in the
personal welfare of the general.
In this connection it is recalled
that the president had il in his
mind to ask congress for special
legislation empowering him to re-
tire Gen. Wheeler. Gen. Lee and
another brigader general Of volun-
teers with the rank OF brigader
general in the regular army. Some
of the persons who are interested
in the success of this move feel
that by immediate resignation and
the prosecution of his present de-
termination to attempt to secure
his seat in the house, General
Wheeler will arouse antagonism
which will make it difficult or i'm
possible thereafter to secure from
The house the legislation needfui

LORD QObtRT5 WILL hOVt SOON
Meanwhile Most News of the Cam
palgn I'm the Free State Is Sup
pressed by Authorities.

London, March 1S.-The force
under General Pole Carew, which
was sent by Lord Roberts to join
with Generals Gatacre and Glenn
ents, has accomplished its mis-
sion, having reached Norval's
Point on the Free State border.
General Gatacre is reported to
be as far north as Springfontein.
this was the chief item of war
news today.
1t is evident that the resist
ance of the Free Staters south of
Bloemfontein has completely col
lapsed. Even to the northward
the Beers are showing little ap-
parent activity. The bridge
across the Modder river has been
found untouched.
1t is thought probable that in
side of a week Lord Roberts
will be able to commence the
march nOrthward to carry the
British flag into Pretoria. When
any military man is asked how
long he thinks it will. take to cap
ture the Transvaal capital he
will venture no opinion except
that every day is bringing the
Boer downfall nearer.
Although the correspondents
are not permitted to wire details
as to the movements of the
troops, it is clear enough from
the hints let drop in more than
one message thatlmportant steps
are in progress. News is ex-
pected soon that the little towns
of Lady brand and Wepener,
close to the Basutoland border,
southeast of the Free State, are
now occupied by the British
mounted troops and that the
whole country between them and
; Bloemfontein is being closely
watched by patrols. In this man.
ner the march northward of any
organized body of Beers will be
effectually prevented.
1t is also counted on with con
fidence here that guns and pro
visions of the forces that recent
|, lY opposed Gatacre and Clements
will speedily be captured. Ap
parently the men of these com
mandos, which probably consist
ed mostly of disloyal colonists
: with a leaven of Free Stat,
Beers, are already tired of fight

GROWING STOCK HOGS.
of Feeding Are Necessary to Sc
cure Rapid Development.

A Virginia correspondent asks in
the Breeders Gaze1te the proper feeds
and methods of feeding to secure sat
isfactory development and growth in
stock hogs. SHOULD they be fed all
they will eat, or should their feed al
lowance be limited?"
Prof. w. A. Henry, of the Wisconsin
experiment station, replies as follows:
Growing Ligs and especially those de-
signed for breeding stock, should be
abundantly nouTished on feeds rich in
protein, since these favor the develop
ment of both bone and muscle. Mid
dlings are the best single feeding
stuff for young pigs and should be ex-
tensively used wherever possible.
Ground field peas, cow peas and the
soy bean may also be used, the latter
two being especially available in the
southern states. In no case feed cot
tonseed meal. Skim milk and butter
milk are of the highest value when
obtainable. An ideal mixture would
be four pounds of skim milk, two
pounds of middlings and one pound Of
Wi HliSdl lol youhS pigs. III pldcc
of the middlings cow peas or the soy
beans might be substituted, provid-
ing they are available. A run on a
pasture seeded with crimson clover or
Japanese clover for the south, and
blue grass or red clover for more
northerly points, is almost an essen
tial; in any event, good range must
be given for young breeding stock.
With good pasture and abundant ex-
ercise, pigs designed for breeding pur-
poses can be fed practically to the
limit of their desire. OF course, no
feed should ever remain in the trough,
and it is well to have the animals
willing to take just little more, as
an active. well-bred, ambitious pig is
always DESTROYS of doing.
