SWINGING FRONT HOG PEN.

iron rod is passed through the bottom
c%rosspiece and inserted in another hole
in either edge of the trough. When
feeding, the rod is lifted, the gate
swung back and the rod is dropped in
the hole in the back edge of the trough.
To let the pigs eat, the gate is swung
toward the feeder and the rod pushed
down into the hole in outside edge Of
trough. Such an arrangement will save
much annoyance and give each pig a
chance to get his share of the meal.
The illustration shows the front swung
back SO that the feed can be put into
the troughs.

Best Grain for Poultry.

Oats will prove more profitable thar
other grain for feeding poultry, In spite
Of the fact that some poultrymen are op-
posed to their use. They are the best
balanced of all the grains, and II kept
before poultry all the time the birds will
never eat more than they should. The
large proportion Of hull seems to be a re-
lief 10 the digestive organs, which find
solid grain too compact for best hand

years are loud in thier praise.-Farmers'

PASSING OF YELLOW PERIL.
Chinese Population in America Is
Rapidly and Steadily De-
creasing.

In so years-perhaps less than so, If
the present laws remain in effect and
are rigidly executed-the Chinese pop
ulation of the United States will be-
come practically extinct, says Worlds
Work. From 1890 to 1900 they fell
away from 126,78S to 119,05O, a de.
crease of nearly 5000, or more than six
per cent. In the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1903, more than 1000 volun-
tarily left the port Of San Francisco
for the land of their birth, the total
deported and returning voluntarily be-
ing 5000. A very large majority o.
these Cinnamon were advanced in
years and went home to die.
A generation ago there were in San
Francisco from 10000 to 10000 China
men. The Chinese consul general says
that, counting men, women and chill
dren, there are now not 10000. The
same proportionate decrease is seen in
other places. 1t should be borne in
mind that the total number Of Chinese
now in the United States includes
26,767 in Hawaii and 3,116 in Alaska,
so that at the beginning Of this de.
cennial period there were living in the
United States proper only $4,000. A
generation ago there were at least $780,
900.
According to the most liberal esti-
mate there are not more than $50 legal
Chinese wives in San Francisco. But
the number Of Chinese women is esti-
mated at between 1000 and 1000. OF
such female children as are born to the
lowest class, a large proportion are sold
for immoral purposes by their parents,
thus still further reducing the posi-
bilities Of an increased population.
The main adult population is male, is
unmarried, or, at least, wifeless, in
America, and is rapidly approaching
old age. Thus, by 1880 or 1910 the
main Chinese life in America will have
become extinct.

row OF Lead, s. D., who shot and killed
Mrs. w. f. barrow, his daughter-in-law,
and then killed himself, had been insanely
Jealous over the woman and evidently he
feared another sutton for her affections
might win her from him and the coroner's
inquest developed no new information.
George +. Darrow, who is studying
dentistry at Creighton university, Omaha
and who is a son of the murderer, testified
that he possessed no knowledge as to Illicit
relations between his father and Mrs. w. E.
Darrow.
Walter Dick of Sioux Falls, S. D., who
is married to +. H. Darrow's daughter
identified the bodies. Mike Mccain, the
hackman. and oscar l.. Johnson, proprietor
Of the Arcade hotel, were other witnesses
Mr.. Dick explained in an interview that
the elder barrow became interested in
young Mrs. Darrow shortly after she en-
tered the family circle at Sioux Falls. Pre-
viously she had been a school teacher. The
old mans attentions to the young woman
caused separation between him and his
wife. When Mr.. and Mrs. w. f. barrow
moved TO Kansas, the elder Darrow fol-
lowed them and from there he followed
them to Alberta, Canada. Then they all
moved to Lead, s. D., where they lived four
years. He had an insane infatuation for
the woman and spent thousands of dollars
on her.

Something that has probably never occurred
in the criminal history of Scott county
took place here when Jack Hallinan asked
Judge Byington to give him the limit Of
ten years in the penitentiary. The judge,
surprised at the startling request. asked
Hallinan why he desired to be locked be-
hind the bars for ten years when he might
have gotten away with two or three years.
Mailman responded that he had been a
curse to society for years. and that he
thought that II he were locked up in the
penitentiary he might in years outgrow the
terrible curse that had fastened itself upon
him. After hearing the statement of the
man Judge Byington concluded that he was
right and Mailman was sentenced to ten
years in the penitentiary at Anamosa.

Rev. ]. C. Murtagh, at a Father Matthew
memorial meeting, issued a warning to the
girls of the Epiphany cathedral parish
against marrying men addicted to the use
Of intoxicants with the intention of reform
ing them. He said the girl who took such
a course was running long chances and he
cited numerous instances which had come
under his observation in order to prove his
contention No matter how much a girl
loved a man, and no matter how much the
man seemed to love the girl, the uncontrol-
liable appetite for liquor would come be-
tween them and the girl would be the suf-
ferer as well as the man. Bishop Garrigan
also was a speaker at the meeting.
