question as to whether conservatives
had been used on the beef and quoted
at length from the testimony bearing
upon that point, particularly that of
D. w. II. Daily, contending that it was
established beyond all doubt by COM
petent and reliable testimony that the
beef furnished the troops in Florida
had been subjected to some process TO
insure its keeping the specified con-
tract time. He said:
1T must be clear that, as q secret
chemical process was used with meat
delivered TO troops at that point,
similar use would no doubt ne made
of such process at other points or for
all shipments where it might be deemed
necessary as preservative of the re-
frigerated beef"
Referring to the credibility of wit
nesses, Major Lee said:
Returning for a moment to the
subject of credibilitv of witnesses, We
deem ii proper to say-but in no Often
sive sense-that of all witnesses where
self-interest stands out conspicuousiy,
the fifty-one interested in the meat in
dustry are pre-eminent. Their readi-
ness, zeal and volubility when on the
stand; their eagerneSS to palliate, eX-
cuse and deny any and every crlucism
or fault found with their meats, must
account for much of the most remark
able testimony ever given before a
court. The officers and soldiers of our
army may go wrong, the people may
err, other interests may be full of de-
fects and irregularity, but if there is
anything strictly honest, without re-
proach, almost perfect, all these viz
tues would be found in overwhelming
abundance in the packing houses OF
our country. Pardon me for saying 1t,
but much, if not all of such testimony
is like much of the roast beef COM
planned of-somewhat overlooked"

MAZET COMMITTEE ADJoURNs.
No Further Investigation Will Be
Heard Until Nav 9.

New York, April 24.-Today's session
Of the Mazet investigating committee
proved far less interesting than any
previous sitting. The day was entire
~ devoted to probing the various be-
hevolent and other societies which are
supported by members of the police
force John Proctor Clarke conducted
the greater part of the examination.
Mr.. Croker was not called as a wit
ness and on his promise to return to
this country, was excused from further
attendance on the Mazet commission
until Aug. %. Mr.. Croker will sail for
England on Wednesday.
All the witnesses called TODAY We're
policemen of various grades. At the
conclusion of the single session, which
was long and uninteresting, Chairman
MaZet announced that the committee
would not meet until May 9, by which
time it is expected the investigating
body will have presented preliminary
report to the Legislatures.

weakness of the alibi defense shall be
cited to the jury in connection with
instructions that an aliu., to be de-
tense, must cover the whole period of
the homicide, or must prove beyond all
doubt the impossibility of the accused
being at the scene of the homicide when
it occurred.
The defense asks the court to charge
the jury that the homicide must be
proven, and the accused guilty of IT,
before any of the threats are con-
sidered against the accused and that
the threats are only to be considered
in determining the degree of the
homicide after it has been otherwise
established. u
They also ask that the court charge
that the accused is not to be prejudiced
by reason of the defendant not having
taken the stand in her own behalf, and
that the evidence of one addicted To
the opium or morphine habit is credible.
While no limit has been fixed for the
length of arguments it is understood
the case will go to the jury no later
than Wednesday afternoon.
Argument For State.
The argument on behalf of the state
was commenced by Attorney Grant
who reviewed the law bearing on the
case. Up to the noon adjournment the
point he had most strongly emphasized
was that the defense in offering testi-
mony as to the state of the mind of
the accused at the time of making
hreats-that state being an emotional
one because of disappointment and
grief-had admitted the commission of
the homicide and that on no pretext
except in mitigation of ne degree of
an admitted homicide could such testi-
mony be considered.
After arguing that the defense by
DISCRIMINATION and direct evidence
had tacitly made a confession and
sought to justify it by relations with
SaXton and grievances against him,
Grant reviewed the testimony in de-
TAIL seeking to show not only Mrs.
Georges connection with it, but by
the threats she made, and the plans
unfolded, to prove the generalization
and deliberation necessary to consti-
tute first degree murder.

At the meeting in st. Louis of the
Missouri Good Association, Major M.
Meigs, Of Keokuk, Iowa, stated it as
his opinion that crude oil may prove a
panacea for bad roads in localities where
road material is hard to obtain Hav
ing his attention called to the subject,
Mejor Meigs wrote to the Standard Oil
Company requesting them to send him
some oil for experiment. They for
warded tank containing 49, barrels
with their compliments and wishes for
success. Some eight barrels of this
oil have been used on a notoriously
muddy road near Keokuk with good
results. Soon after the application of
the oil to the road, the mud dried up
and remained so, becoming hard. His
experiments show that a barrel of
crude oil is sufficient for strip of road
100 feet long and twelve feet wide. The
oil, by forming a waterproof crust,
prevents the surface of the earth from
becoming soaked. The earth was
porous enough, he said, to retain the
oil and cause it to shed water, so that
where the oil took hold, moisture must
depart, and naturally the earth be-
came compact. No roads are so good,
nor so easy as dirt roads, when they
are dry and none so cheap, and Major
Meigs thinks that with the aid of oil,
earth could be utilized at much less
cost than macadam or gravel, even
when the latter was near at hand.

There is no reflection upon the work

there is in a pound Of ensiIage, only it

Secretary Wilson rightly thinks that
future success in agriculture in North
Carolina and other cotton pro tucing
States lies in the line of planting more
leguminous crops, raising sheep and
cattle, and in converting all the cotton
seed into meal and feeding it to stock
on the farm. He says that too many
dogs are kept and too few sheep. The
cost of feeding one dog would raise
two sheep or one hog. Great tracts of
idle land in the South could be made to
produce millions of dollars by the rails,

A Georgia contemporary publishes
an article in a recent issue urging
Georgia farmers to SOW more oats in
the future. Appended are the reasons
offered to support it's advice: Take
some of the cotton land that with So
per acre expended in commercial fer
tilizsrs will make the governmental
report average of 219 pounds of lint
cotton per acre, which is about $40
gross receipt per acre. It will cost you
81 per acre with the closest economy to
produce it, leaving you So an acre. We
will SOW it in oats; this land, with the
same amount Of manure, will make
thirty bushels of oats per acre, which,
sold at 40 cents per bushel. will give
you $13 per acre, expenses Sc per acre,
aud you have net $6 per acre, against
the So per acre with cotton. If these
calculations are not true, and are not
facts easily worked out, we would be
glad to be shown why"

On many small farms, large meat
bones, soup bones and the like are
found on the backs of the kitchen
stoves, where they are allowed to dry
out and char perhaps. This makes
them easy to break up fine for the
chickens, and fowls will eat them
readily, but it should be known that
the heating process loses the bone it's
most valuable constituent, the nitro
genous compounds. Better save up
and try and get a green bone cutter.
