An excange says that an Okla
homa hog raiser is giving his
experience in feeding hogs,
stated that five acres of sweet
potatoes would fatten more
hogs than twenty-five acres of
corn. He had sixty hogs that
would yield him $4,000 pounds
of pork. and he estimstes the
cost of their feed at not more
than $26 acutal cash, for labor
and other expences in his sweet
potato patch. He also claims
that this food imparts a flavor
TO the meat that far surpasses
that of corn for the animal.

When Suzer asked how many soldiers
were required to maintain peace and order
IN Cuba until the Cuban republic is pro-
claimed" Gen. Schwan declined to give
an opinion.
A similar response was made on an in
Quiry as to the Philippines. The questions
brought out some differences between MEM

the officer was not on the witness stand.
Mr.. Sulzer insisted, however, that it was
essential that the officers appearing should

asked: General what would you propose

Gen: Schwan said he could not answer.

He emphasized the need OF organizing the
cavalry in times of peace. as II was i'm

Cox sharply questioned Maj. Johnson as
TO the relative merits Of volunteers and
regulars. and argued that the volunteers
were the best fighters, as shown by the ex-

Spanish war. Maj. Johnson said he had iuo
criticisms for the volunteers. although he
maintained that military training was an
important element in the fighting ability
OF the soldier.

Mai Simpson who served under Gen

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. I2--The Botkin

comes TO the connecting of the poison
with their client. Mrs. Botkin appears TO
be getting more nervous under the strain

question witnesses.

sion. His testimony was unimportant-

that he did not know what had caused the
death OF his patients until after a chem
ical analysis of the candy had beea made,
and that his first impression as TO the cause
described the suferings of the patients
during the final hours and said they We're
exactly similar. The witness suffered at
the hands Of Lawyer Knight. who Ques-
toned him on his knowledge of poiSons
and their symptoms. He admitted that he
did not know the nature OF the illness OF
Mira Dunning or Mrs. Deane. and that he
did not know until two days later that
they had eaten candy.
DR.. Browns Of Dover, who also attend
ed Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane gave tes-
timony similar TO that given by the pre-
ceding witness.
DR.. Wolf, the analytical chemist, who
analysed some of the candy sent to Mrs.
Dunning testified that he analysed three
pieces of the candy and found half a grain
OF porcelain arsenic in the three pieces He
identified some OF the candy, but could not
identify the box. His testimony was Of an
expert nature.
The supreme court has disposed OF the
