com is to be called on Monday of next
week at Pembina. There has been a
large number of witnesses called from
this place both DO the state and by the
defence and it promises to be a hard
fought trial. Never in the history OF
the county has there been as much
legal talent at a trial as there will be
at this one. There are five attorneys
for the defence and the defendants are
both attorneys. The state has two
from here, one from Pembina and pos
sibly one from Blue Earth, MINI. The
trial has been postponed from time to
time and the last delay was caused by

per mile, or $3 ton for a twelve-mile
haul, says Portland Oregonian. An
estimate places the total tons hauled
at 30O,OOO.OOO a year. On the estimate
of So ton for twelve miles this would
make the total cost of getting the sur
plus products of the farm to the local
market or to the railroad no less than
5000, figure greater than the
operating expenses Of all the railroads
of the United States. If anything could
make an argument for good wagon
roads this statement surely may.

When one has number of hogs to
feed the trough is not always the best
thing to use for the purpose, for the
swine are apt to break it down or else
are unable to get the food fast enough
to suit them, and so get to Quarreling.
One of the best methods Of feeding is
a large pan or floor made of cement
and rough logs; this may be Of any
dimensions desired, although it is best
made just wide enough so that the ami
mails can feed from both sides. which
will accomplish much in the way of
keeping them out Of it with their feet
Make the frame of rough lumber or of
logs cut in half and some six or eight
inches high.
Fasten this frame securely at the
corners and also faSten securely to the
floor so that the swine will not root it
up. Then make floor inside of ce-
ment, not making it very thick, but of
about the same grain as would be
used for a stable floor. If desired the
frame may include a board floor over
which the cement floor is laid. The
edge will prevent the corn from being
pushed aside and trampled upon. 1t is
not intended to use this feeding floor
