What effect the landing of marines

only be surmised. But If Edmiral
Fletcher does not adopt this measure. IL
is possible that the two additional Eng

II became known here today that HUI

American battleship should be seek TO
escape from the country. This inforna-
Jion comes from no less an authority
than Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
Who, when questioned on the subject,
called attention to the fact that the
protection of a United states bait G.
ship was offered to Porfirio Diaz, fol-
hat a similar refuge was awaiting the
late Francisco Madero. when that IL

streets Of Mexico City.

At Dividend PASSING

viewed the passing OF the New Haven
dividends as partial acquiescence by the
railroad in the Governments plans to
dissolve its various holdings in New

He expressed the belief that the New

heretofore, and planned to use the
saved dividends as capital for recon-
struction and reorganization work.
He did not feel. however, that this
money would be sufficient to accomplish
all that the Government desires. but

Purebred VS. Scrub.

The prospects in the hog business
are very bright this fall for the man
who has first class breeding ami
mails. With the high range of prices
for feed it is in many cases neces-
sary to limit the number Of hogs to
be kept so that less feed will be re
quired. AS the number is limited
it will be necessary to improve the
quality in order that the income
will not be diminished.
This involves a simple problem in
economy or net profits. The same
feed that keeps a poor scrub will
nourish good purebred. The
same work that is required to take
care Of dozen scrub sows had bet
ter be given in caring for eight or
nine purebreds of high quality. The
capital invested in twelve ordinary
sOws could much more wisely be in
half or two-thirds that number of
the best quality.
1t is equally essential to have a
good purebred boar, in fact. it is
more economical because the male
is half the herd. Too much atten-
ton cannot be given to the quality
of your herd header. The addition
al cost OF fifty Or seventy-five dol
lars for an animal of extra quality
and breeding is but little when dis.
tributed among the whole herd. No
other method will improve your
herd as much at the same cost as
the purchase of first class boar.
He should be purchased now for
next spring litters.
By farrOwing time only a little
grain will be needed to supplement
early. pastures of rye orwheat From
these pastures the hogs can soon be
turned on blue grass and clover
and from there to oats and peas
or rape.
AS the prospects for good corn
crop next year increase the demand
for hogs will also increase. The
man who carries a few good pure
bred hogs through this winter and
increases them as fast as possible
next spring will be most ready to
supply the demand and profit by it.

To morrow evening, Friday, will
be Halloween. It is customary on
this occasion for the young people
to play ali kinds OF pranks, many of
them would better be LIFT unplayed,
but there is also many which are
innocent and furnish amusement
for the young people. This year it
will be wise to steer clear of the
usual Halloween games on account
of the pepper who has caused so
much excitement and there are
many guns loaded for him. Any
unusual noise might cause some
person to shoot aud those playing

danger to themselves and possibly
might cause some one to be badly
