Sociologists announce a tendency of

Jife, with its magnificent improvements

rertainty with which people in mod

population of cities to exploit rural
life. The attractions to the industri

The possibilities of diversified agricul

new- opportunities to a life of comfort
and independence in the country. Mod
rn science, under the direction of na

Charged With Accepting Bribe of Sev
eral Thcisar.d Collar From John
J. Ryan & Co. For Fraudulent Usa
of the Mails.
Ywuliinuton, May 2iJ. Postmaster
Oneral Payne has summarily dis
missed Daniel V. Miller, assistant at
torney in tlio ofilifl of the assistant
attorney general for the postolfi 'e de
partment, for accepting a bribe in con
nection with the case of John J. Ryan
& Co., charged with fraudulent use of
the mails. A warrant has been Issued
for Miller's nrrest.
Another warrant has becu issued for
the arrest of a man who is charged
with being the partner or a go-between
in the transaction. The brioe is alleged
to have been accepted in Cincinnati
last December.
Miller came here from Torre Haute,
Ind., about two years ago. He was ap
pointed by former Assistant Attorney
General James N. Tyner. Tho charge
against Miller has been under investi
gation for three months. The Kyan
company was a turf investment con
cern, which operated at St. Louis and
Covington. Ky. Its methods and work
ing operations are said to be similar to
those of the Arnold company, which
has figured conspicuously in the post
office investigation. Complaint was
made by Inspector Fulton before a
United States commissioner in Cincin
nati Saturday and a warrant was then
sworn out for Miller and one other
party. Mr. Fulton then came to Wash
ington, while another inspector went
west from Cincinnati to make tho other
arrest.
The Ryan company was the benefl
clary under a decision of the assistant
attorney general of the postofnee de
partment, made several months ago,
subsequent to the decision in the Ar
nold case, and couched in practically
the same terms as that decision. Those
decisions declared the concerns named
to be free to uso the mails.
Last night Miller was in the custody
of a postofllce inspector, and his formal
arrest followed this morning. Miller
was at his desk all day yesterday. He
was called Into the office of Assistant
Attorney General Robb late In the af
ternoon, and notified of his immediate
dismissal. He was allowed to draw his
salary and then return to the private
office of the assistant attorney gen
eral, where inspectors were In wait
ing. It is stated that the amount offered
Miller as a bribe aggregated several
thousand dollars, and was In the form
of a cash payment, followed by a check.
This payment is alleged to have taken
place in Cincinnati, so that the case
will be tried there, probably In the Oc

A Preaerrer of Manure.
In Germany some laboratory ex
periments hare been made to find
some chemical that will keep manure
from losing its fertility before use.
One of the most recent of these ex
periments Indicates the importance
of keeping the mnnure in a compact
heap. The chemical that seemed best
suited to hold the manure in its first
state was fluor-sulphnric acid, a by
product of superphosphate, manufac
ture, containing ten to J2 per cent
of free sulphuric ncid end 20 per cent,
of fluorin.
We made ours six feet siinre and
about the same pilch as hliuwn in the
cut, and it required less than 150 feet
of lumber to make one. Don't put
lloor in them, but if a floor is need
ed -lay down some boards on the
ground and place the pen over theiu.
Then when you wish to clean out the
pen, tip it over and do the cleaning.
A railing can be placed around the
outer edge on the inside, to protect
young pigs from being crushed by
their mother. I have seen the life "of
more than one pig saved by this rail
ing In our pens. A hole about six
inches in diameter is put clote to the
rOUTAl'.I.E HOG HOUSE.
top of the opposite gable end for venti
lation. They can be built on runners so
they can be moved anywhere by a
horse. We put no runners under ours,
but tipped them onto a stone bont
when we wished to move them. We
found six feet square large enough for
tmr purpose, but you enn make them
ns large as you wish. Ours will ac
commodate four or five hogs weigh
ing 200 pounds each. In feeding time
we moved them out in the feeding lot,
nnd at farrowing time back to the ac
customed place.
The principal improvement. In these
pens is the door, tine first doors were
hnng at the top nnd when n hog went
out, It would drop back with a bang
that might often injure or kill a pig,
besides wearing the hair oft from the
hogs' backs. Notice, this door is hung
on gudgeons or dowels placed just a
little above the center, so the door will
drop back gently and will always be
shut. If, for any reason, you want to
keep It open, it can be done by a rope,
or any other means that may suggest
itself to your mind.
My man and I made our eight pens
in two days, but we are both carpen
ters and can. do much more work of
this kind than on who is not-awork-man.

A feed lot is too small that compels
animals to eat in filth.
In selling mixed lots of stock the
best always suffers by being sold with
the inferior.
Stock farms don't wear out, but be
come more nnd more fertile, and more
und more profitable.
Feed generally is high priced, and,
as far as possible, everything that can
be used to advantage should be stored
under shelter.
In northwestern Colorado thousands
of cattle are reported to be starving.
The cattle are snowed in on the high
range in Koutt and Hio Grande coun
ties w ithout pasture or water, and it
is impossible to get feed to them.
Salt is a good thing fr stock, and
it is almost as necessary ns food. It
uids digestion, and by so doing it pre
vents disease. It destroys germs of
fermentation, and renders them harm

smaller doses a laxative; minute doses
a tonic. Kxperiment have shown it

of the bones so the navicular bone is
