Hogs for Next eeaaon.

Hardly two men viii agree In all re-

the most successful hog raisers are
coming around to the belief that the
medium animal gives the best returns.

SOW should be Of large size Is being
abandoned Size determined on, then
other characteristics should be sought.
If the sow has had one litter 1t IL easy
10 know II she is fitted to continue the
work. If she was not a good mother,
If she did not have the proper amount
Of milk provided she was properly
fed then she will not prove a profit
able mother for other seasons When
the sow is bred for the first time, then
one Is taking some chances, but Il
ought not to be hard, after the first
year, to get together a fine lot of sOWs
simply by remembering how they act-
ed in previous years.

Japanese Flag Now Floats over the
Fortress.
General Nogi's army made its Of
fetal entry into Port Arthur Friday
afternoon. Detachments from every
branch of the victorious forces, with
flying colors and amidst the bIare OF
bugles, marched across the gIacis and
into the fortress. The tattered flags
of the regiments which SUFFERED most
during the Siege were borne in the van
guard
According to reliable advices receiv-
ed here from Port Arthur only as Jap
.anese prisoners were found in the fort
ress. This Is taken as proof that the
Russians permitted the many wounded
Japanese who fell in the trenches dur
ing attacks to perish where they lay
instead of removing them as prisoners
of war to the hospitals.
Cannot Understand.
London.-The correspondent at Port
Arthur of the Times says:
The total number of soldiers, sea-
men and civilians in Port Arthur at
the beginning Of the siege was $1,000
There are no signs Of privation. There
was food sufficient for two months, and
the surrender Of the russian garrison
is inexplicable.
The Daily Mails Toxic correspon-
dent gives a statement to the effect
that all the money in Port Arthur was
divided among the Russian officers and
when this was discovered bitter feel
ing arose between army and navy,
which feeling was largely responsible
for the fall Of the fortress.

Four suits were brought against the Consolidated Railroad company today and two more against the Consolidat- ed Railway company of New Haven, which is practically one and the same concern. Attorney Bauby was counsel for the aggreived parties in each case. In the first named suits William S. Harrison and Charles s. Brown both of Southbury are the plaintiffs. MT Brown has brought three separate suits for $1O0 each and MT Harrison one. Each claims to have suffered damages to their land because of fire caused by sparks from railroad engines.
 The other plaintiffs are Frank Yerk and his wife Elizabeth. They appear in two suits. Mrs Yerk claims to have been in trolley collision on the com pany's lines in New Haven on July 30 1904. She now complains to be suffer- ing from what is known in law as rail- road spine in consequence of the coils ion. The accident occurred at ze junction of Church and Chapel streets, and Mrs Yerk's claims to have been first thrown forword and then back ward her back coming in violent con tact with the back of the seat causing concussion of the spine. She claims $20,OOO damages and her husband $5,O0O.

NAILED TO CROSS.
Ysan Died in Agony Yesterday at
 Torres, Colorado.

Trinidad, Col, April 22.-On the cross, just as the Saviour died cen turies ago, a fanatical member of the Penitentes is reported to have died yesterday at Torres, Las Animas coun- ty, Col. Several Trinidad people claim to have been among the eye witnesses, but they agreed among themselves not to talk for publication, so the details are not yet known. According to the report surrent here, however, the vic tim was nailed to cross of his own formation and died in agony that he did not seem to feel, wrought as he was to delirium of religious fervor. The story of the crucifixion is vouched for by Henry D. Robinson, an auto mobile agent of this city, who saw a crowd of Mexicans who had been eye witnesses and were discussing the tragic scene. In the old days, so it is said, the carrying out of an actual crucifixiOn was not uncommon among the Penitentes, but it was supposed to have been abandoned long ago, al- although it is known that the practice of self torture is still carried out among the members of the order dur ing holy week.
