A DEFICIENT DIET.

Investigations into instances Of pig
eating sows seem to show that this
tendency Is aggravated IL not in every
case caused by the sow's not having II
balanced diet during the few weeks
prior to the birth Of her litter. A
largely fat forming ration, such as
corn, fails to furnish the mother with
the elements she needs in providing
her unborn young with flesh and bone
forming material. and the morbid ap
petite she sometimes shows in her at
tempts to devour them as soon as born
is quite often evidence of the lack re-
ferred to. The difficulty may be over
come by reducing the corn ration and
substituting for a part Of 1t In the
neighborhood Of half pound per day
Of oil meal or tankage. This ration
may be still further improved by add
ing an allowance Of steamed clover or
alfalfa hay. The bone forming ele-
ment-potash-may be supplied In cob
charcoal and wood ashes.

ECONOMICAL BEEF FEEDING.

The Nebraska state experiment sta
ton at Lincoln published the middle
OF December bulletin on Economical
Beef Production" which contains a
number Of suggestions which should
be valuable to feeders of beef cattle
AS result of number Of carefully
conducted feeding tests it was found
that old process linseed meal coarsely
ground had slightly higher feeding
value than cottonseed meal. while Ell
ther OF these feeds was considerably
better than wheat bran as protein
concentrate. One experiment showed
with corn and corn stover gave larger
daily gains than any other combina-
ton of foods used The results in
three experiments made showed that
beef could be produced more cheaply
by the use of alfalfa in connection
with corn than by the use of any Of
the three concentrates-linseed meal,
cottonseed meal or bran-when the
roughage consisted Of prairie hay. The
conclusions derived from some other
feeding tests showed that with corn
at from 35 to 80 cents per bushel and
alfalfa hay at 81 per ton or lower less
than full feed Of corn-from four
teen to eighteen pounds-was a more
economical ration than when a full
feed was used and that If corn was
worth from so to 60 cents per bushel
1t was more economical to reduce the
corn ration to half feed, or from ten
to twelve pounds. A comparison Of
the quarters after the animals were
slaughtered showed that the groups
fed on alfalfa gave better quality of
meat, as shown in the color, marbling.

Haltien Troops Massacre Rebels.

Government troops led by President
Simon, of Haiti, got beyond control
OF their officers at Quanaminth, and
after capturing the town, burned all
the buildings and massacred all the
inhabitants that were unable to make
their escape.
Jean Prospect, citizen of France,
was attacked, his eighteen-year-old
son was killed and his home was
burned.
Messengers arriving at Cape Haitien
gave the first detailed account OF
President Simon's ruthless campaign
against the rebels. The insurgents had
captured Fort Liberty and GUIANA
ninth. President Simon set out for
the disaffected territory at the head
Of five columns of troops. He was ac-
companied by his daughter, Celestina.
The army occupied Fort Liberty with
out shot having been fired. Never
theless large number of arrests of
those suspected of treachery to tho
government were made and the sus-
poets were shot.
The army then moved on to GUIANA
ninth. The rebels were found in pos
session of the town and they offered
resistance. No mercy was shown by
Simon's forces, and sanguinary fight
ing followed The rebels were soon
beaten back, but the officers could not
stop the advance of their men.
The soldiers got out of hand and
the pillaging that followed was horri-
BILE. The inhabitants who had not fed
were killed and the town burned.
In the meantime another force, un-
der Minister of the Interior Jeremie,
captured the town of Valerie, to the
south of Quanaminth, and it is expect
ed that this will be burned.

A LIMITED PARCELS POST.

The demand on the part Of the peo-
pie of the country for what is known
as limited parcels post is increasing,
and there seems to be little question
that in the near future congress will
pass such legislation as will put it
into operation. These systems Of pack
age delivery by mail have been In
vogue In some European countries for
more than hundred years, hence are
not socialistic. utopian or untried. In
practical operation they have proved
eminently successful and above every
thing satisfactory and great con-
venience to people living in country
districts. The postmaster general has
recommended limited parcels post
distribution Of parcels from towns and
cities over local rural routes. 1t is
contended, and the point is we'll taken,
that the average rural carrier handles
less than forty pounds Of mail matter
daily when even with his light wagon
he could easily take care Of several
times this amount, not only increasing
greatly the revenues of the postoffice
department, but ministering largely to
the needs and convenience of the pa.
irons along his route. The opponents
of parcels posts In any form seem to
be the country merchants, who fear
still further inroads into their terri
tory by the catalogue houses and tho
express companies, which are annually
extracting millions of dollars from the
shippers of the country in the shape Of
discriminatory and exorbitant rates.
Inasmuch, however, as some country
merchants are buying catalogue house
stuff and putting 1t on their own
shelves. the position which they take
in the matter is hardly consistent. The
live merchant does not greatly fear
catalogue house competition, and the
dead or moribund merchant who is al
ready hanging on the ragged edge will
drop out sooner or later anyway. This
matter of home trading Is good deal
OF fiction. and with no class Is 1t a
bigger Joke than with merchants in
their relation one to another. AS the
postal laws are now, with agreements
at present In force with foreign coun-
tries, one can send package to a rela-
tive in Europe as cheaply as he can to
a friend In the next state or county.
The inequality is manifest and one
that bids fair to be righted.

Russia to Move Against China.

The Russian government has ad-
vised the state department in Wash.
ington of it's intention to make a
military demonstration against China.
The details of the proposed movement
haven't been received. The Russian
government promises to send further
information on the subject to the
state department as soon as possible.
1t appears that the Russian govern
ment, wearied of what 1t regards as
persistent disregard by China of her
treaty obligations toward Russia, is
about to bring pressure to bear to en-
force her rights, even to the extent Of
a military demonstration in the proy-
ince of iii, the seat of the present
trouble.
That war will not result from the
latest move of the Russian govern
ment Is the confident belief in diplo-
matte circles here, for it is generally
understood that the Chinese are to-
tally unprepared to meet such foe
as Russia at this juncture. So it is ex-
pected that China will appeal to the
powers, including America, for fair
play. What amount of support she
will receive cannot safely be foretold.
Over $4,000 Worth of JeweIry Stolen.
An inventory of the articles stolen
from the residence of Charles G. Roe
bling in Trenton, N. j., last Wednes-
day night indicates that the burglar
made a haul representing between
$4,000 and $4,000 in intrinsic value.
Among the articles taken were
number of valuables which money
cannot replace. Among these was
lorgnette set with diamonds and
pearls, which was gift from the
late Mrs. Washington R. Roebling to
Mrs. Cornelius Hook, sister-in-law of
Charles G. Roebling. The lorgnette
was exhibited at the Paris exposition,
where it was awarded first prize.
The robbery, one of the largest ever
accomplished in this vicinity, has
been placed in the hands of Pinkerton
detectives for investigation. 1t is now
the accepted theory of the detectives
that it was accomplished by some one
having inside knowledge as to both
the house and the customary move.

that weeds require poor land to do

was that weeds would flourish where

would not; yet, other conditions being
