A FEW HOG DoN'TS.
DO the Don'ts II You Would Have
Success in Raising Pigs.

Don't keep diseased hogs with the
rest of the herd. Most diseases com.
mon to hogs are contagious, especial.
ly cholera.
Don't let YOU feed lot get foul. A
hog as well as other animals does bet
ter when he has a clean eating and
sleeping place.
Don't let your sows and pigs sleep
at old straw ricks unless you want
them to die with the cholera or some
other disease.
Don't expect to raise thrifty pigs
by feeding the sows nothing but corn.
Plenty of Stops are essential to the
growth Of the pigs.
Don't let your shoats run all over
the farm. A few dollars spent in wire
will save you much worry and keep
your meadows and growing crops
from injury.
Don't let your pigs root up the
meadows and pastures. A few hog
rings are cheaper than a lot Of tim.
othy and blue grass which would be
destroyed.
Don't let your sows run together
until narrowing time. Cold nights
they will pile up together and may
cause the loss of their pigs. 1t is best
to separate them a month before.
Don't fail to give your hogs plenty
Of ashes and salt. II you have an
old ash bank about the place, throw
1t into the pen and salt It good. The
hogs will dispose Of it to their ad-
vantage.
Don't keep a ch~icken-eating SOW Just
because she raises large filters of
pigs, says Farmers Voice. She will
soon eat her worth in chickens. Put
her in the fattening pen and let her
go on the market as soon as posi-.

Geronimo Chaves Drops Dead in

Laguna, ~ NJ. Jan. 10.-The mys-
terry of the sudden death of Geronimo
Chaves at Cubero Sunday night is still
unsolved. There seems to be dispo>
sition among those Immediately con-
cerned to hush the matter up. Burial
has already been made and no investi-
cation into the cause of the unfortu-
nate mans death has been inaugu-
rated. ChaVes married the daughter
of Demitero Jaramillo. a sheep raiser
and saloon keeper of Cubero, and It
would appear he did not live happily
with his wife. who Is said To have been
enamored with another man. Chaves
separated from his Wife some months
ago and went to live with his brother
in-law, David Garcia, However the
difficulty was patched up about four
weeks and Chaves came back to live
with his wife. Sunday night at sup
per. il is said he complained of the
food and coffee tasting bitter, in spite
OF which, however he continued to eat
heartily. When he had finished his
meal he went TO the saloon of his
and while standing in
front of the bar, complained of a pain
in the chest, almost Immediately af-
terWard he was seized with a violent

summoned, but Chaves was dead be-
fore he arrived. In two hours after
death the body of the unfortunate
man turned entirely black. The cir
surrounding the death and
the condition of the body afterward,
in the opinion of many people here,
would indicate that death was due to
poison. The authorities have, SO far
as known, made no move to investi-
gate the affair

CARLISLE INSTITUTE
MAY RE ABOLISHED

Washington, Jan. 9.-Carlisle iRsti-
tute, which was established at Gar
lisle. Pa, in 1897, for the higher edp-
cation of the Indians, IL in danger OF
being abolished. The subcommittee
of the senate committee on Indian af-'
fairs. which has the Indian appropria-
ton bill under consideration, has
agreed TO report an amendment strik-
ing out the schools appropriation. The
reason advanced by the members of
the committee is that the school, be-
ing so far from the Indian rcserVa-
tions. is not so effective as the west
ern educational institutions for the
Indians. The appropriation bill as it
passed the house. carried $4,000 for
the support of the school during the
ensuing year.
One member of the committee said
today that while he was not ready to
say that the higher education of the
Indian had been a failure. he could
not overlook the fact that instances
could be cited where the Indian had
not made the most of his schooling.
