Hugh Prior o we'll known character In

escape from being frozen to death in the
snow early this morning. he and a COM
panion had been drinking pretty heavily
last night. and some time alter the

completely covered with snow end in al
most q frozsn con dItion. They summoned
the patrol wagon and after Prior was
taken TO tire second police station and
somewhat thawed out he told the police
officers there that he had friend with

This gave the two officers named another

LABOR MEN IN SESSION.
Knights Of Toll Holding Forth in Annual Con
clave at Nashville.

Nashville. Tenn, Dec l7.-At today's
session of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, the report of
the special committee on con-
vict labor was adopted after some
discussion. The committee on execu-
tive councils report stated that the
matter of dispute between the Fedora
ton. the National Union of Steam En-
gineering and Local Union No. 6s07 of
Boston. had been mutually adjusted TO
the full satisfaction of all parties con-
cened The report was adopted.

county. and the officers of the fedora
tior are hereby ordered to do all IN
their power to assist the International

end was adopted.

adopted. The convention adopted Il
resolution looking to the appointment
of inspectors in each state that at pres
ont has no such officer.
Several spirited speeches followed the
Introduction of a resolution pertaining
to the situation in Cuba. The resolu
tiCn declares THAT it is the sense of
this convention that the United States
Congress should waste no more time
in useless debate and diplomatic Chi
canery, but should take such immed-
ate action as may tend to put an end
to the indiscriminate murder of the
common people of Cuba. by the Span
ish soldiers
The following substitute for the reso-
luton was introduced: THAT it be the
sense of the convention that Cuba have
industrial freedom from which it will
receive political freedom"
A motion was made to table the sub
attute and the question was brought
up whether or not the tablng of the
substitute included the original reso-
tuition. The chairman ruled that it did
rot and subsequently reversed his de-
cision.
A member appealed. A vote was
taken and the convention adjourned to
hear the result at the afternoon session.

NO MORE SEALSKlNs
Can Be Brought Into This Country According
to Pelagic Sealing Bill.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE bill relating
to pelagic sealing which has just passed
both branches of Congress and is before
the President contains a provision of far
reaching Importance which has thus far
escaped attention. This places an abso-
lutte prohibition on the further bringing
of sealskins into the United States from
any source whatever.
AS the United States is the largest mar
ket in the world for SealSkinS, this COM
plete stoppage of the trade in this coun-
try will be a severe measure against the
British and Canadian Industries which
take and cure the skins and then dis
pose of them largely in the United States.
When the bill was proposed it was gen.
orally supposed that its only purpose was
to prohibit American citizens from carry
ing on pelagic sealing. This feature was
the only one to attract attention during
the discussion. At the close of the bill
however. is a section which is not re-
skins in general taken in the waters
mentioned in this act'' which includes the
whole Pacific coast.
The provision is as follows: Section g.
that the importation into the United
States by any person whatsoever of fur
sealskins taken in the waters mentioned
in this act. whether raw, dressed, dyed
or manufactured. is hereby prohibited
and all such articles imported after this
act shall take effect shall not be per-
mitted to be exported but shall be seized
and DESTROYED by the proper officers of
the United States
Those who are thoroughly familiar with
the bill say this provision is of far more
importance in it's effect than the prohi-
bition against pelagic sealing by Ameri-
cans.

SsWdust Worthless as Fertilizer.

I was called to testify in recent law
suit that raised this point. I looked up
all the work done upon this subject as
published by the L. S. experiment sta
lions. and found that the only ANALYSIS of
sawdust from a fertiliZing standpoint had
been made by our own station. This
Sa wdust was ordinary everyday soft
wood sawdust. and contained OILS per cent
of nitrogen. a trace of phoSphoric acid
and oil per cent potash. These amounts
are exceedingly small and, moreover,
there is every reason to believe that they
were in such insoluble and unavailable
forms as to be practically useless as fer
tilizers. The mechanical effect of saw
dust as a mulch upon land would be so
serious as to. vastly outweigh any little
fertilizing effect it might have Those
people who testified in the suit in ques-
ton that sawdust contained considerable
amounts of fertiliZing elements simply
did not know what they were talking
about. / know nothing of the merits of
the question from the legal standpoint.
but l know that sawdust floated upon a
meadow must of necessity be a detriment
thereto.-Joseph l.. Hills. director VT.

Farm Notes.

1t is necessary that the COW, in addi-
ton to the water needed for Illumination
and digestion. have enough to put 81 per
cent into the milk she gives. A COW
weighing 1000 pounds in full milk should
have about IL gallons of water day.
And if so much water be taken at one
time during very cold weather the COW
receives great chill from which II will
take hours to recover. Besides 1t makes
the food in her stomach so liquid that it
cannot be raised for rumnation. or
course nature soon takes out the surplus
but the process continues and the con-
tents become dry and solid. Watered
frequently, the same lot of cows will give
from 10 to even as much as % per cent
more milk on the same food No one who
keeps cows for profit can ignore such
result.
