Steunenberg resumed his testimony at
the Occur d'Alene investigation today.
Mr.. Sulzer conducting the cross exami-
nation. The governor related his vari-
Gus talks with General Merriam.
He first met him in May last and
went over the lnSurrectionary contli-
tons and the necessity for troops. The
governor said he requested General
Merriam to order the troops 10 Sho-
shone county and ne did so.
When asked who was in supreme
command in ShOshone county, General
Merriam or Bartlett Sinclair, the gov
ernor stated that he himself was the
responsible head Of affairs although he
did nat exercise any control or COM
mand Of the troops. There was no
agreement with General Merriam, said
the governor. that the labor organiZa-
tons were to be broken up, nor was
there any talk of suppressing them.
The governor again went over his
trips to Washington, his cali on the
president and the brief talk with Mr.
Mckinley. Questioned as to what the
president said Governor Steunenberg
replied that the president listened TO
the brief recita! of conditions and the
need of the Continued presence of the
troops, but made no reply.
Wanted Troops Retained.
The governor also was examined as
TO calls on Secretary Root and said the
latter intended TO withdraw the troops
from guard duty on Oct 20. The gov
ernor called to protest against this.
He found that the secretary was quite
determined 10 withdraw the troops, an
order to this effect having been issued
and most Of the governors efforts

a case of suicide OF an insane man. As
to the charge that a dying prisoner

The governor specifically denied the
charge that men were subjected 10 vile

Mix BRYAN Up In II.

Mr.. Dick inquired if Mr.. Bryan had
ever written or expressed any protest
or disapproval Of the governors course
L1r. Sulzer and Mr.. Lentz protested and
Mr. Hay Of Virginia objected on the
ground that MIR. Bryan was not presi-
dent.
But he viii be soon, remarked Mr..
Lentz, who added that Mr.. Bryan
would not declare martial law.
The committee voted TO allow the
question as TO whether Mr.. Bryan had
protested and Governor Steunenberg
said ne had never heard from Mr.. Bry-
an in protest or otherwise.
Has any prospective vice presiden-
tial candidate on the Democratic ticket
protested to yOu?" asked Mr.. Dick amid

Sulzer.
The governor said there had been no
such protest.
The inquiry was then directed TO

familiar fashion by some weli-dressed
loafer who thought his personal charm
so great that he could with ease break

That many such have received the
punishment they deserve goes without
saying, but many more are merely

In three or four weeks after lamb
is put into the feed lot it will begin to
show the effect of good feeding. Some
gain will be going on during this time
on the inside, but it will not show on
the outside. The fattening process
begins internally, and the first indi-
cation of gain externally will be found
ct the tail. The stages of the de-
veIopment will then be observed Mt
the middle OF the back, the neck, the
flank, the purse and tho breast. Some
times lambs do not fatten at ell these
points with the same evenuess, and in
order to tell when n lamb is fat, it is
better TO examine all these locations.

The sowing of rape as a pasture for
sheep and hogs seems likely to work n
revolution in farming in many sec
tions. So far as we have seen rcports
OF its use, all parties seem to be much
pleased with the results, and it seems
to be equally as good as clover or
alfalfa for pasturing, besides being
more easily and quickly grown. The
cost of the seed is small, being but
about ten cents q pound at wholesale.
and but two and half pounds are re-
CURED for an acre. Not only will This
food be valuable of itself, but being n
substitute for clover pasturaee, it will
cause more clover to be cut and cured
for hay, which will increase the ability
OF many farms for dairy production.
and also for the raising of young stock
We believe clover or alfalfa, which is
OF the clover species, as green feed or
as hay, is the best feed for those pur-
poses, and in New England it is too
valuable to be used as a pasture for
hogs. The care necessary i'm turning
sheep or young stock on rape. to pre-
vent bloating, is not much greater
than IS required when turning them
into clover field Rape always has
been found cheap and desirable green
food for fowls that are confined 10
yards. --Americau Cultivator.

New corn is not good food for
poultry or any animals. Green corn
may be fed TO good advantage, but the
ripe corn only partially dry is bad for
live stock, unless it has been soaked
until it is near or quite ut the point of
termination. Those who have tried
it in that way report that it gives as
good results rs it does when ground
and cooked or scalded Bat the hens

From time to time it has been ru-
mOred that giraffes existed in British
Central Africa. on the Loangwa river
but although that river valley has been
frequently visited during the last ten
years by Europeans, no authentic in
formation on the point has ever been
obtained. Last month, however, CIR
afie was shot on the east bank OF the
Loangwa in the Marimba district, by a
European prospector, and its skin Tin
completely sent in to Capt Chichester
in Mpezeni's country. The hinder half
of the skin is being sent to the British
museum, and it is hoped that a com
plete specimen may now be obtained.

Remarkable Drinks.

OF the many extraordinary drinks
regularly consumed, the blood OF live
horses may perhaps be considered the
most so. Marco Polo and Carpinl were
the first to tell the world Of the Tartar
practice of opening the veins in horses
necks, taking a drink, and closing the
wound again. AS far as can be seen.
this has been the practice from time
immemorial. There is wine habitu-
ally consumed in China which is made
from the flesh of lambs reduced to
paste with milk. or bruised into pulp
with rice, and then fermented. 1t is
extremely stimulating to the physical
organism. The Laplanders drink a
great deal OF smoked snow-water, and

About Cutting wool.

Every farmer who plans to do n
large seasons work cannot overlook
the Importance OF having his years
supply of fuel on hand and ready for
use not later than April /. With
some it is not very hard task, for in
many localities where timber is scarce
coal is largely used for heating and
Gil for cooking purposes. During the
past ten years number of different
kinds OF trees have been dying, and
the farmer who owns ten or more
acres OF hard wood timber iinds that
the dead trees accumulate in spite of
the fact that the quantity of fuel is
larger each year as the quality de-
teriorates. Some farmers were wise

subject to decay and avoided n loss

were in hopes that they would he able

OF the Virginia experiment station.
Tho hortculturists of that station
have been making extended tests along
these lines and find that the seeds OF
such trees as the silver maple and
other species which ripeu seed early
should be gathered and sown at once.
They can be planted in the same man
ner aud grow as rapidly as peas. Seeds
which ripen late IN the fall should be
sown in autumn and then taken up
and planted in spring. Nuts like wal
nuts can be planted several bushels in

Ii IS usually practical TO plant nut

All forest tree seedlings should be
grown on mellow soil, so as TO en-

planted into nursery rows at the end
OF the first or second year. Slow

The Natural and Artificial Dairy Cow.
Those who plead for natures way
in handling and feeding the dairy COW
frequently run directly counter TO the
best practice of advanced dairymen,
says T.. =. Smith, in American Guilt
vator. The reason for this is quite
Obvious If we stop to consider what
the dairy COW is to-day. We cannot
consider her a natural product any
more than we can classify the hot
house plants with the wild growths
of the fields and woods from which
they originally sprung. They are
purely artificial products of the modern
method of developing certain organ.
lsms Tor commercial purposes. The
ideal dairy COW is thus a machine.
highly developed for the sole purpose
OF giving great quantities of rich
milk No other consideration is
technically given to her except in so
lar as 1t affects this one purpose.
We treat her we'll and try to conserve
her strength and health, not from
humanitarian reasons, but because it
is necessary that her health shall he
good In order that she can give the
greatest amount of milk. That seems
cold-blooded way to state the fact
but 1t is nevertheless true, and it is
also true that many have an affection
for their fine dairy cows. But tho
truthluluess Of the statement that the
COW rs an artificial milking machine
is not leesencd one lot Ly this.
Viewed thus as n milking machine
the dairy COW must be studied and
treated a7 such. II we can find
methods of improving upon naturo's
way 1T IS 20 our interest TO do so. and
