Hints on Hoo RAISING.

Salt buried a few inches in the
ground in certain spots will attract
the hogs and coafine them pretty close
ly TO such places
II Is natural for a hog 10 root. but
II you want TO prevent aim from do
ing so a simple ring in the snout viii
answer the purpose.
II Is a great mistake 20 mark hog
by mutilating his ears. Better use a
metal tag
Successful hog raisers will always
have clover or alfalfa pastures for
their animals
Every hog pasture ought TO have an
open shed on a high point of ground
for shelter from the hot sun. Leave
all sides open so the air can pass over
them.
Keep the pigs growing from the day
they are horn until they go to the

what Rsal Farming Means.

Agriculture in this country will take
a great uplift in its general efficiency
and financial profit. says Gov. Hoard
OF Wisconsin. in his Dairyman; the
material resources OF fertility, forests
and fuel will be better conserved and
life on the farm greatly elevated In It's
scope of enjoyment. when the Ameri.
can farmer comes TO that period OF
mental development that will enable
him to see that farming Is as truly
work OF science and large comprehen-
sion OF forces as any industry. No i'm
provement can come as long as the
farmer believes that he does not need
education and well developed brain 10
carry on his business. The only farm
or in the land that is making good
growth and progress Is the man VINO
accepts the statement squarey, that
thought knowledge and real mental
power are necessary 10 his well being

DipIom attic Nicetics,

Washington. Dec. 30-The situation
in Nicaragua presents some diplomatic
niceties in relation To the propriety of
recognizing the government Of MadriZ
by the Central American states. In
the opinion of the officials of the state
department, President Madriz should
receive no recognition on the part OF
Central American republics beyond
that which would be accorded lead
er of action. Because of the close
relation maintained by Zelaya with
Honduras, il is expected that that
government may be foremost in doing
anything that viii tend to strengthen
the authority of Madriz, but there will
he great surprise should such action
be taken by Mexico. without a previous
understanding with the United States.
1t is pointed out that. as the United
States IL the only government that has
broken off official relations with Mic
araeua, there would be no occasion for
special recognition on the part of Gen.
trial American republics, as diplomatic
relations with the nation could be
continued as usual. But. in view of
the statement that Madriz merely
