Every Indication seems. to
point to a revival of the mining
business in the lead and zinc dis
trict in 1912. Several smelteries
which have been shut down for
long time, are preparing to fire
up just after the first of the year.
If they do, it is going to make
more of a demand for ore, and
more of a demand is sure to bring
an increase in price. The price
of spelter is out of proportion to
the price of ore, and everything
seems to point to a place where
things are going to be eyened
up. If this domestic pass, there
is going to be great dOiugs il
the mining district.

The quickest way to be sure
that you have taken steps to get
rid of hog cholera on your farm
is to fence the hogs away from
ponds and streams that have
been affected by dry weather.
More cholera is transmitted by
means of such sources of water
supply than by any other. Kan
sas is fee from hog cholera, as
compared with other states, and
those communities which have
shut the hogs from low running
streams and ponds are rapidly
becoming free from the disease.

The law governing hunting in
Kansas is very stringent, as a
couple of fellows in this city are
willing to testify. First, it is
necessary to have a license. Then
you must have permission of the
land owner before you can hunt
on his place, and verbal permits
sion will. not do. 1t must be
written permission, and we ex-
pect the next Legislature will
amend the law and compel the
man giving permission to 60 be-
fore a notary public and swear
to his signature. Oh, You Kan
sas! You are full of laws!
