s,..pinr Quarters For Hogs.

The sleeping quarters for hogs
should be roomy, well-ventilated and
neither too warm nor too cold and per-
fectly dry. They must be so construct
ed that no other animal al enter
them. otherwise they cannot be kept
in proper condition of cleanliness.
There should be two or three or even
more sleeping places provided for
large herds, so they may divide into
small punches. One end of an inclosed
cattle shed, partitioned off, is as good
as the most expensive hog house for
this purpose.
Beware of cold drafts, and so con-
struct the building that the cold winds
do not blow on the hogs. AT the same
time allow sufficient ventilation for the
escape of foul air. The floor may be of
earth or boards, as preferred. l like
a ground tioor and so do the hogs, and
I deem 1t best to consult their tastes / n
this matter. 1t must be kept clean and
occasionally recoated with fresh earth
OF sand. Very little bedding is re-
ouired, even in the coolest weather
and slough hay or rye stray is best for
this purpose. The bedding should be
cleaned out about once a week and, If
needed, a little fresh supplied.
Hogs should never be allowed to
sleep in manure piles or around straw
stacks if it can be avoided, or in any
place from which they will come out
steaming and sweating. That condi.
ton in cold weather is decidedly in.
furious to their health and thrift. The
sleeping quarters should be sprinkled
occasionally with slaked lime or crude
carbolic acid as a d~isinfectant. 1 con
slider it a good plan in summer to shut
the hogs out Of their winter quarters.
as much as possible, and let them lie
in the pasture and under the shade

Kentucky's Natural Bridge.

and can only be accomplished by
strained physical exercise of the most
pronounced character. The country
on the far side of the bridge has never
been traversed, and there is, in fact
but one way of reaching the elevation
Once under the bridge of rock there is
a steep decline, and to reach the top
of the bridge a narrow crevice in the
rock has to be traversed. Only an
ordinary person can squeeze through
the place. The bridge is visited each
year by thousands of sightseers'~-Cin-

MOROCCO MUST PAY UP
The Cruiser New York Sent to En-
force Our Demand.
WANTAPOLOGY FOR DISCOURTESY

The United States Demand $4,000 as
Indemnity For ontrages Against
American Citizens - Threat of thu
Grand yizier to Prevent Our Consul
General From Seeing the Sultan.
Washington, D. c. United States
Consul General Gummere has again
been ordered to go from Tangief ia
Fee and demand settlement of the
many claims of the United States
against the Sultan of Morocco.
The armored cruiser New York,
Rear-Admiral Rodgers flagship, is to
take him to Mazargan and land him
there and then cover the city of Tan
gier with her guns until our claims
are satisfactorily adjusted.
1t took just such action as this to
collect the claims for the death of
Marcus Ezagui, and the State Depart
ment Is convinced that only warships
can collect money from the Sultan Of
Morocco.
The United States has an aggregate
of about $4,000 in claims due to the
citizens of the States who have been
u~njustly dealt with by the provincial
authorities of Morocco.
Orders have been cabled to the
cruiser New York from the State De
partment to take Oh board Consul
General Gummere at Tangier. Mr..
Gummere is instructed to demand the
payment personally from the Grand
ViZier at Morocco CITY
Morocco has agreed to pay the Eza-
dui claim of 5000, but she has stead
lastly ignored the settlement of
equally important indemnities.
The aggregate of $4,000 is the re-
suit of several years of outrages
against American citizens. In some
instances commercial travellers have
been interfered with contrary to
treaty rights. In other cases the prop
erty of Americans, such as cattle,
sheep and grain, has been seized by
the provincial authorities. Now an i'm
mediate reckoning has been de-
manded.
One of the crricsities of the litiga-
ton is that the Morocco Court gets
out of the way whenever a day has
been set for q hearing. Mr.. Gummere
has been instructed to corral the Court
and insist on a hearing. If the Court
is not willing to yield to Mr.. Gum
mere's suasion the cruiser New York
will take a hand in the settlement. In
all cases, however, the presence of an
American warship has been effective

NEWS OF THE STATE
Held For Applegate,s Murder.

Samuel Shinn was arrested on sus-
picion of being implicated in the death
of Thomas F. Apologize, the Hamil-
ton township farmer, who was found
dead in his stable recently. Shinn is
now locked up in the county Jail and
refuses to talk. The arrest vas made
at the instance of Captain Hartmann,
of the Trenton police force, and Coun-
ty Detective Monroe. who have been
working on the case for a week. 1t
is claimed by the authorities that they
secured enough evidence to warrant
the arrest of Shinn. Shinn left his
wife and two children in Burlington
County several months ago and went
to live with his father, who was work
ing Applegate's farm on shares. Apple
gate said that Shinn's purpose was to
be near Mrs. Apologize. A few weeks
ago Applegate was visited by white
Caps" who told him If he did not
leave the county or treat his family
differently he would be severely dealt
with. One night, about six months
ago, he was attacked by some I'M
known person in the dark, hit on The
head with a bar of iron and knocked
senseless. He had Shinn arrested, but
failed to prove his case, because he
had not seen his assailant. The au-
thorities are convinced that Applegate
was the victim of foul play, and they
will attempt to prove that more per-
sons than Shinn were implicated in
the alleged murder. According
to the statements of Mrs. Apple
gate and himself, Shinn slept in
the Apologize house on the night the
murder is supposed to have been com-
mitted. Shinn lived across the road,
and it was his custom whenever APP
plegate was away to sleep in the APP

EXPORTS ABOUT sl,5oo,ooo.
No Period in American History Shows
such "a Record.

Washington, d. C.-Exports from
the United States continue to increase,
and the fiscal year of 1901 seems des-
tined moi only to break all records, but
perhaps touch the billion and a half
dollar line. For the twelve months
ending with February the total is ST.
400, 1874 1856, and for the eight nIuuSns
If the fiscal year is $1.015, 1854.
Thus the record presented by the
February statement of the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics at least suggests
a billion and a half record for the ifs
cal year 1901, since the twelve months
ending with February are less than
S10.0G0,000 below that sum, and the
eight months of the fiscal year are
SIS. 000,0 900 above the proportion
which eight months of the twelve in
cluded in the fiscal year would be
called upon to furnish of a Sl,500,OOO,-
900 total.
No eight months period in the history
of our export trade shows as large
a total of exports as the eight months
ending with February, 1901. The to-
tai exports during that period are, as
above indicated, Sl,015, 1891,
against S919,473,471 in the correspond
ing months OF last year, and S602, &c.,
ST3 in eight months of the fiscal year
1896, having thus increased more than
fifty per cent. in five years.
The favorable balance of trade, or
excess of exports Owe imports, shows
an even greater increase, being $i92,-
pa. 904 for the eight months ending
with February, against S364,210,S97
in the same months of the preceding
fiscal year, and SG1,472,040 in eight
months of the fiscal year 1896. No
eight months period in the history of
our export trade has shown as large
| exports or as large an excess of ex-
ports over imports as that ending with
February. 1901.

Washington, ID. C.-For the sake of
a Filipino sweetheart. Private Fred
erick M. Baker, of the United States
Marine Corps, deserted and accepted
n commission from the insurgents. 10
save the life of a friend, an American,
and fellow deserter, he surrendered
himself and received a life sentence
at hard labor in San Quentin prison.
Baker enlisted At Mare Island, Cal,
in 1894, and until June II, 1899, his
record was excellent. Then he fell a
victim to the charms of a Cebu ISL
and girl and deserted, and became a
drill master and lieutenant in the
Filipino forces. He found another
American deserter among his COM
panions at arms, and a strong friend
ship grew up between them.
The friend refused to lead an am
buscade against the Americans and
was condemned TO death. To prevent
his execution, Baker rode to the
American camp, surrendered himself
and told his story. The rescue of the
condemned man was attempted, but
failed, and nothing is known of his
fate. Baker was tried by court mar
tial and found guilty of desertion and
treason. Only the eXtenuating cir
cumstances saved him from a death
sentence.
