Claude E. Walter writes from La
Joya, New Mexico, that he ha. recently
been tranfened from the western divis-
ion Of the Santa Fe to the Rio Grand
division. He has been working for
some time as relief agent and this week
he is at San Marcial. He doesn't like
the country at all-says it is barren and
lhinly populated and what population
there is, is mostly Mexican, but relief
agents get good wages in that county,
which induced him to go there. The
cost Of living in that country is very high.

D. w. Stone delivered the last Of his
1908 hog crop to In6eld & Snyder on
Monday, cashing 5000 worth Of the
porkers. During the past IS months,
Mr.. Stone tells us that he has marketed
(. $1,000 worth Of hogs and all Of them
were raised on his own ranch. Part Of
these hogs were sold during the late
panic and his total receipts are $1,000
less than they would have been under
ordinary conditions. He still has herd
Of 200 left to begin with for next year 5
market. We doubt if there is a hog
raiser in southern Kansas VINO can beat
this record.
