The fusionist members of state institutions -

Samuel Kinga cousin of the Wheeler

home , front which we extract the fol

There are lots of soldiers killed , we
ca ' find out how many as it is kept a
se some way or another. I don't
seki
know what the object is. I would
send you the papers from here but they
seT ' publish the tacts as they exist.
They : are making lots of de.nocrats of ,
the soldiers by the wav they are doing
and treating us out here. When the ,
articles of peace were signed we thought ai
we could not be kept here over sixty th
daj's , but it looks different now. The ec
officers have been around with a peti
tion asking the boys to re-enlist for six
to
months longer , but not one of the boys
would < sign it. We have been fooled ,
once and we thought that enough. The th
volunteers are giving it to the republi

isde
exports since the middle of last year ier
ind are disposed to attribute it entirely th :
Argentine and Australian competi til ;
tion. This competition has , of course ,
iiad its effect , but there are other facts wi
wiN
hat have exerted an influence upon N
foreign market. One is that there .
not been a sufficient supply of ani
mals suitable for the export trade , ami then
mother is that weather conditions in on
England for some time caused the inar- in
iets of that country to have a heavier nil
tiome supply than would have been offered ch
fered under normal conditions. The an
latter fact tends to reduce the native pi
supply upon the English market here- PI
ifter and give just that much more at
room ior American or other imported
Battle. The Australian and Argentine
competition may grow even stronger as wi
large purchases of Hereford , Short-
iiorn and Angus bulls will very much
improve the herds of those countries ,
the advantage in distance possessed.

Word comes from near Sparks that
a certain farmer persists in penning
his hogs on a spring branch which
runs by a widow's house much to that
lady's inconvenience and annoyance
as she has no other place from which
to procure water. He ought to be
compelled to move either his hog pen
or himself. This is a word whicn the *
wise will not overlook.
