STRANGE ACTION
OF THE GOVERNOR
ORDERS AMERICANS TO QUIT
Relief and Rescue Work Practically Stopped by Sensa
tional Movement Part of the Governor of
Jamacia---No Observation-Disclosures
Admiral Leaves Kingston.

Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 2l.-
Especial A sensational and extra
ordinary action on the part Of the
governor of Jamaica has resulted in
the practical suspension of relief
work in this island.
On Saturday night at a late hour
the governor sent a message to Rear
Admiral Davis, of the American navy
requesting him to Withdraw all ma
rines that had been landed in the city
for the purpose of assisting in the
relief. The American admiral and
his officers at once went ashore and
visited the governor and had verbal
Affirmation of the request. The Ind
lana, The Missouri and the gunboat
Yankton, then left the Kingston
harbor for Cuba. The order of the
governor created widespread surprise
and CONSERVATION in the city owing
to the fact that the American sail
ors and soldiers were doing noble

Rio Grande system. We're visitors to
the city yesterday for a short time
and left on train No. 3 for Helper.
These distinguished officials will re-
turn here in few days and will re-
main probably for a week.
It is said on very good authority
that their return here is for the pur-
pose of making a complete eNamina-
ton of the yards and the shops and
to decide upon the haracter of i'm
proyemeuts necessary at this division
point.
It is asserted on what is presumed
to be very excellent authority that
the Denver and Rio Grande will spend
a very large sum of money here dur
ing this summer in an extension of
the yards and the round house and al
so for the very considerable extension
of the machine shops in this city.
Under the new order of things there
will not be less than 100 men work
ing in the machine and blacksmith
shops. when the new order of things
is put into effect.
The rumored changes are certainly
n matter of much interest to the cti-.
zeus generally. 1t has always been
wondered why the shops have not
been enlarged in this city. but now
that the growing necessities for MAJ
chine work here are so great, it isl
supposed that the road can hardly do
without making such important
changes which are charged to them.
Every new employee of the road To-.
Gated in this city just increases the
Importance of this city that much.

profits. How many Of you LOST
more than five pigs? Loss of pigs is
largely due to improper methods of
feeding before narrowing and lack
of care at narrowing time. The
man who feeds his brood sows ALI
winter on strictly corn ration is
simply counting failure and can
reasonably expect to lose part of
his pigs. The man who feeds oats
or shorts or bran or some Other,
protein food along with his corn
can reasonably expect good success
at narrowing time provided he
furnished suitable quarters. It is
penny wise and pound foolish
policy that does not provide good
quarters for each SOW. One pio
will pay the cost while lack of care
often results in the loss of the whole
litter. Oftentimes a years profits
are lost in a week through lack of
preparation. Now is the time 10
make arrangements for the April
pigs. Besides pen to herself each
sow should have sunshine and ex~
ercise and good food. Some breeders
prefer the central hog house. Others
the individual. Most of you will be
obliged to make the best use DOS
sible of what you have at hand.
The careless man will lose his Dios
with the best buildings. The care
ful business like man will often sue
coed with meager equipment. The
small individual cot enables the hoe
producer to get his SOW away from
the muddy lot out on the blue grass
hill where she farrows undisturbed
and where the new born litter gets
plenty Of exercise and sunshine and
green food-three very successful
things in pork production. Tt is a
serious mistake to feed the sow
anything the first day after farrow-
ing. Give her nothing but tepid
water. The second day allow her
to have a little food of the same
kind as that fed her before farrow-
ing. Increase the feed gradually
the rate of increase depending upon
the size of the litter and milking
procl1vities of the sow. The mis-
take IS often made of starting the
sow on some other kind Of feed i'm
mediately after she farrows. This
is likely to cause scours in the pigs.
No man can tell another how to
feed. The successful feeder is the
man who. keeps a watchful eye OF.
his herd and cuts down little ON
the litter that is getting too fat or.
gives additional feed to the sow
with the lean litter always taking
great care not to allow the young
sters to contract scours during the
first two weeks.

Spring in The Country.

Wouldn't it be fine if you could
lop off about thirty years, with
worries and wrinkles and heart
scars, and go back yonder in time
for the first warm day of spring?
It's warm in the city. The cutters
smell and the breath from the big
buildings is like the odOr of tomb.
Every vacant lot is at its ugl1esU and
the world seems in need of the bath.
Butoutln the country are the things
that are worth while.
Out in the barn the hens are cack-
ling a story of eggs and spring. The
great doors are open wide and the
sun bathes the place with warmth.
The big apple tree by the barn is
full of buds and in few days, in
just few days, there will be a
world of beauty and fragrance that
the hand of man can never equal.
There is an asparagus bed full of
green shoots and in the old-fashion-
ed flower bed all sorts Of green de-
lights are pushing upward to the
light.
And there are birds not noisy
sparrows, but meadow larks and
robbins and the black thirds are hold
ing high carnival in the tall poplar
and wrens are talking over house
keeping in the lilac bushes. Over
head is a cloudless sky, blue as the
violets that are peeping through
the moss in the woods. The air is
crisp and clean and invigorating.
Nature has yawned and IS waking
and it all seems good to barefooted
lad who found liberty for imprison-
ed feet and IS happy as butterfly,
and no better reason than that he is
happy.
In the country road that stretches
away nowhere he digs his toes into
the warm dust and it feels good.
He shouts because of the JOY that
| is in him. Not a care; not worry;
not trouble, just happy in the
sunshine.
That Is all, but wouldn't 1t be fire
to for thirty years and go back
to the first warm DAYS of SPRING.
