Judge Pollock this morning ordered

produce its books in court within
twenty days, with a complete state
ment of the financial status of the

George w. BaumhoH is entitled to
have a receiver appointed for the
affairs of the company. BaumhOff, the
complainant, built the lola line sew
eral years ago and holds about six
hfteenths of the stock. The company
claims that he did not put into the
line the construction which he prom
ised, and accordingly sued him about
two years ago for $4,000 damages
Naturally the friction between the
members of the company came to a
very unpleasant point Mr.. Baum
hoff now alleges that the remaining
stockholders kept from him informa-
ton relative to the business of the
company, and that misa appropriations
of money have been made in the way
OF large salaries. He wishes to have
the company go ito the hands of a
receiver so that he can get his share
OF its valuation. Judge Pollock or
dered Frank Crouch, of lola, presi-
dent and general manager of the
road, before him this morning and
gave him instructions to produce a
complete and accurate statement of
the company's affairs into the court S

Considering the damaged condition of

submerging it for six days or more. it
is a perfect success since you repaired
it, a marvel of thorough workmanship.
The finish is elegant. Its tone is per
feet. As good as ever. It's mechanism
works with the same ease and percision
that it did before the flood. We con-
slider it fully as good as it ever was.
The finish we think is better, it sur
passes all our expectations We find
your work highly commendable.

THE CHINESE EXCLUSION TREATY.

1t is I'D To the senate and the presi-
dent TO extend the treaty of 1894 with
China, which provides for the right IL
exclude Chinese immigrants from our
ports This treaty expires next De-
cember, but under the existing treaty
the senate, with the presidents APP
prova, may continued the policy OF ex-
clusion. Unless this acton is taken
after December Z, this country may
expect a flood of Mongolian immigra-
ton which 1t will have no right TO
turn back or deport.
There sfeinld be no tins lost argu-
ing the case. Chinese immigration is
undesirable and dangerous and should
be excluded. This country has no need
of a .coolie system The type of emf
grants is steadily growing worse. Our
eastern cities and sea coasts are being
overrun by an immigration from south
srn Europe scarcely to be preferred to
Chinese THE opening OF our ports 10
the Asiatics will result IN the ex-
ploitation OF Chinese labor by the
steamship companies and the dump
ing of shipieads of an undesirable and
inassimilable population upon the
western slope. The Chinese should be
excluded and 1t might not be amiss
to extend the exclusion policy to In

There is a variety of reasons to
which the increase in suicide may DC

HandIinu Farrowino sows.

Relative to the matter of handling
the narrowing sows. George NJ. Rommel
of the United States bureau of animal
husbandry at Washington has abeen to
considerable trouble in collecting in
formation from hog raisers rega rding
their methods. Out of the many coll
lected letters we have selected ten from
as many states giving some Of their
ideas. While there is a diversion, there
is still a marked similarity among
breeders in various states, and even
where theae Is a vast difference On the
general farm management as charac
teristic of the country. We append
these communications below:
]. S. Henderson, Kenton, Tenn
About two or three weeks before far
rowing each sow is given a lot to her
self, with comfortable house to sleep
in. AT narrowing time / watch them
very closely until see that the pigs
are sucking adj right. do not get my
sows on fuld feed until the pigs are
week or ten days old, and then feed
as before narrowing.
George w. Dozer, Roseville, Ohio-I
feed nothing for the first two days ex-
cept water with the chill off, after
which l add little wheat bran. and
increase the rations of bran, middiings
and crushed oats, made into slop and
fed in troughs. as much as will be eat
en- with avidfty without dulling the
appetite.
w. II. Lesstter, Pontiac, Mich.-I al
ways try to have my sows very tame,
so that I can be right in the house
with them when they farrow. use in
diyidual hog houses. 6xS feet, with a
fender around the inside. If the SOW
is uneasy when narrowing, l put a
board across the house about two feet
from the back end and resting on the
fender; this makes tirstclass farrow
ing pen.
Aaron Jones, Jr. South Bend, Ind

SOW is put in a small pen and KEEP
there for one week after, when | turf

them run together until the SOW ceases
to look after the pigs, and they wean
themselves by natural methods.
A. j. Lovejoy & Son, Roscoe. H.
Give no feed for twentyfour hours
but give them what water they will
drink, then commence to feed gradu-
ally and increase as the pigs are able
to take all the milk the SOW gives
After week give the SOW all she can
eat of milk producing feed.
F.. f. ENailor Newton, Iowa-Sows are
kept in separate pens, as near the
ground and as free from draughts as
possible. They ara fed very lightly
from the day of farrow for a few days,
with gradual increase of feed as the
pigs grow older. The pigs have plenty
of exercise and sunlight, and, above
all, a dry and clean bed.
George Wylie. Morrisonville, Wis
We put them in safety pens that they
can not turn around in, thus prevent
ing them from everything their pigs as
a rule we keep from and do not offer
them anything to eat until they get UP
and look for it; then give them drink
of thin slop.
C. Fl. Murphy, Caledonia, Mimi
prefer to have the SOW running around
the barnyard or in the pasture until
about her time to farrow; sows farrow
more easily when they have had plenty
of exercise. / put the little ones in a
box until the SOW is thru narrowing,
then l bring them back couple of tim
es to feed before they are left entire
ly.
S. w. Sehooley, Cozad. Neb.-Put the
sows in separate pens week before
the time to farrow. Have the pen about
Z feet square with Tenders around the
sides, then when the time for farrow-
ing comes be on hand and look after the
little fellows. Put them in box, keep
them warm, and they win soon dry.
When the SOW is thru narrowing put
them with her. rubbing her and see
that the pigs get a good dinner.
Evan Davies, Keytesvflle. MOI have
them farrow in SKIS pens, using a guard
rail fastened twelve inches from the
wall and eight inches high. / use very
little bedding until the pigs are a week
old, cleaning the pens out daily, using
air Stacked lime on the ground before
putting fresh bedding down. At farrow-
ing time feed shorts slop mixed with
