INSURGENTS ROUTED.
Unable to Withstand Bomhardment of
Government Forces.

--anagua.-The forces of President
Madriz again have taken possession
OF Matagalpa, which on February 10
was occupied by General Chamorro.
insurgent leader.
The bombardment of the city, which
began Sunday night after notification
mad been given to the non-combatants
to withdraw, was abandoned for some
hours, but was renewed Monday.
The government forces had heavy
guns on the hills, but the insurgents
were without means to reply at long
range. Chamorro, therefore, deemed
1t advisable to retreat, and under
cover OF darkness evacuated Mata-
galpa early Tuesday morning.
Generals Lara, Chavarri Martinez
and Divas, each of whom commanded
sections of the government troops, re
occupied the city at noon. Chamorro
did not escape any too soon, as he
nearly surrounded by government
forces, which had been brought up as
quickly as the condition of the coun.
try would permit in the last few days.

DRY FARMING CONVERT TALKS
by Methods Now in Use It Is Possible
to Double Produotiveness of
Semi-Arid Lands.

Dry farming" said r. Dowden. n
Texas ranch owner and a recent dis.
ciple of the Campbell method of dry
farming, "as now applied to the cul.
tivatlon of crops. is the result of years
OF investigation and it has become
so perfected that it is very easy TO
double the productiveness of the aver.
age semi-arid land
1T simply goes right to the heart of
the whole problem of maintaining the
physical conditions of the soil best
adapted to plant growth, which is the
same doctrine that is preached by Mr..
Campbell, except that Mr.. Campbell
prefers to call 1t scientific soil cul
ture' instead of dry farming. So far
as the farmer is concerned the re-.
suits would be the same by either
name. 1t Is simply maintaining the
EIoper proportions of air and water in
the soil cultivated and does not mean
an attempt to farm dry land: that is
TO say, the land cannot produce crops
when II is dry, but the process of cul.
tlvation proposed by this method does
make wet land out of dry land and
the moisture is conserved instead of
being allowed to evaporate by improp.
er treatment of the soil. 1t finally
resolves itself into a matter of cap.
Hilary attraction, which, in plain terms,
means the causes that have the effect
OF bringing the deep-lying moisture to

DIFFICULT TO MANAGE HOGS

(BY A. j. LoNG.1

Hogs when they are inclined to he

animals to manage when changing
from one place to another. Especially
IS this the case when we undertake to
drive them; they will huddle up and
turn their heads outward and refuse
TO go without trouble.
Gentle hogs that are used to beina

person carrying bucket. but some.
times this plan fails and then some
other plan must be followed. | have
often used a large ear of corn with a
strong string two or three feet LONG
tied to the end of pole five or six
feet long.
The corn is dragged along on the
ground and hogs will forget everything
else and follow the corn, grabbing al
It, When the hogs get too close the
corn can be raised out of their reach
or else jerked from them.
This is the best decoy that | have
ever tried for hogs and beats driyine
