this point.

In good pasture regions it is a note
worthy fact that most Of the dairy
COWS show better health than those
kept in regions where the grass is less
luxuriant and plentiful, says a New
York farmer in American Cultivator.
In some Of the states where grass pas
lures were naturally good years ago
the COWS presented a far better appear
ance than they do today when other
crops have crowded out the grassfields
or poor farming has permitted them to
degenerate. Unquestionably the grass
question has much to do with the
health of our dairy COWS.
A fine breed Of dairy COWS was never
yet produced in regions where the grass
was poor, and we cannot do better than
to go back to first principles in our eff
forts to improve the stock. The prime
essential is good grass. Without that
no amount Of good feeding OF care will
quite make up for it. Good grass pas
lures mean good soil and we'll watered
land. To obtain these there is needed
good farming, general and dairy farm
ing. One to a large extent supple
ments the other. / cannot imagine
good dairy farmer neglecting his soil
and pastures or, for that matter, any Of
the crops that are raised on the farm.
More than anything else our whole
dairy interests require some change in
methods which will bring our farms
back to the old rich pasture production
period which made them originally so
profitable for dairying. Let grass, rich
and succulent pasturage, be made the
foundation Of the whole matter. De-
vote more time to increasing the grass
yield of every acre of land, and there
will be required then less knowledge
about animal ailments and disease.
Because we do not have sufficient
pasturage of the right kind for our
dairy COWS we have to consider ways
and means to feed them so they will
keep in health and yield the greatest
amount of milk. We have to mix foods
in different proportions to increase the
butter fats or richness of milk and
cream. All this is attended to by ma
lure Wucu lll0 pClSlulC 40 I'LL oAA oUN
culent. That is the foundation Of the
whole system of dairying. LetUs have
better grass, better pastures, and then
we will have better dairy COWS.
Temperature For Churning.
A lower temperature is necessary
in summer than in winter churning,
SAYS writer in National Stock
man. Always test it with a reliable
thermometer, and if the churning can
be done early in the day so much the
better for when the sun gets hot it is
almost impossible to have the butter
come nice and hard, even with the ice,
much less without this most necessary
adjunct of the summer dairy.
No rule can be given as to tempera-
ture of churning. Much depends upon
the COWS, the cream and the tempera-
ture Of the room, but it is safe to say
that for exhaustive separation and
slight loss this cannot be relied upon if
above 60 degrees. It is an undisputed
fact that with Jerseys or Guernseys a
higher temperature is admissible, since
the butter from such COWS stands up
better in hot weather than from ami
mails not Of these breeds, yet even
then So degrees will be found better
than GO, since it is difficult to hold an
even temperature under ordinary cir
cumstances on warm day.

SMELLING TRUST ROW
Quarrel Over Selling Agency
Leads to Resignation Of
Directors.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE Evening
Post says: 1t was credibly reported
today that Henry H. Rogers has pre-
pared his resignation as director Of
the American Smelling and Refining
company.
Mr.. Rogers could not be seen nor
could the report be confirmed at the
company's offices. It was also said
on good authority that Leonard Lew
isohn and Grant B. Schley, two other
directors, and John Simpson, the COM
pany's counsel were about to resign
The cause of the rupture in the
smelling company's directorate is said
to be a dispute as to the selling
agency for the products of Guggen-
helms Sons, now to be taken over by
tie American Smelling and Refining
company. The Union Metal Selling
company is agent for the American
company's products. The company.
it is understood, desires to handle in
future the products of, Guggenheims

FARMERS THEIR PREY
Organized Gang Of Thieves Ter
rorize Illinois Rural
Community.

Alton, ILL.,, Feb. 1.-THE excitement
in regard to the conspiracy of the ''in-
vincible thieves continues. John
Huebner, one of the threatened far
mers, says that Boals and Fairman,
the men under arrest, came to his
home some days before he received a
letter signed "invinoible thieves" and
represented themselves as money lend
ers and wanted to know if he had any
to lend. The famous letter was tackled
onto Huebner's we'll a day or two after
their visit.
It is believed by detectives that the
"invincibles" took this method of dis
covering men with ready cash.
Robert Kelsey, a wealthy farmer
living near Bethalto in this county,
1t is now learned, shortly before the
"invincible thieves conspiracy was
made public, was rubbed Of e1, 900 by
similar methods.

SIX HOUR TALK
Cafferey Occupies Legislative Day
Talking on Ship Sub
sidy Bill.

Washington. Feb. 11-Shortly after
the senate convened today the naval
appropriation bill was passed The
shipping bill was then taken up and
kept before the senate during the re-
,nainder of the legislative day.
Cafferey, dem, La, occupied the
floor throughout the session. The op-
position senators made the point of
no quorum several times and demand
ed call Of the senate. Finally this
drew out the warning from Frye,
chairman Of the committee on COM
merce, that if the senators desired
the river and harbor bill to be report
ed at this session they would better
not interrupt the committee having
the measure under consideration. Even
after that there was one oall of the
senate. Cafferey had not concluded
his speech when, after having spoken
for nearly six hours, he yielded the
floor for an executive session.

HOUSE EATS
HUMBLE PIE
ASKS FOR CONFERENCE ON
REVENUE BILL.
HARD KNOCKS FOR SuLzER
Made Subject Of Singing Remarks

ardly Return.
HARD KNOCKS FOR SuLzER

Washington, Feb. This was field
day in the house, being by far the
liveliest day during the present session.
A very interesting debate over the
constitutional limitations on the power
of the senate over revenue legislation
initiated by the house was precipitated
when Mr.. Payne, chairman of the
ways and means committee, brought
in the resolution of the committee to
disagree to the substitute proposed by
the senate as an amendment to the war
revenue reduction act and to ask for
a conference with the senate.
Tawney of Minnesota championed
the cause of the house and it's para
mount rights over revenue legislation,
but was unfortunate in not bringing
forward resolution to return the bill
to the senate with the declaration that
the senate had transcribed it's powers
in substituting an entirely new meas
ure for the bill of the house.
The subsequent debate showed that
had this course been adopted the prop
osition would have commanded a
large vote. Instead however, he in
sisted upon division of the resolu-
ton and after the first portion-to dis
agrse-had been adopted NE made the
point of order that the second motion
was not in order because the senate in
its substitute had invaded the consti-
tutional prerogative of the house. The
result was that the members were not
confronted with the direct issue and
the house voted to ask for confer
ence.
Later in he day, during the con-
sideration of the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill, an impas-
stoned pro-Boer speech by Sulzer of
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-02-12

New York drew from Mahon Of Penn
sylvania recital Of the raising Of 4
fund of about 81 200 for the benefit Of
the widows of Boer soldiers at meet
ing held in this city at which Sulzer
presided. He declared that after the
"terrapin and cold bottles got in their
work" only $18 was left for the Boer
widows.
This stung Sulzer to reply at length
He said he had no connection with
the expenditure of the fund, to which
he had contributed $175 and a very
lively row followed, the climax Of
which was reached when Sulzer had
read an anonymous letter which made
a sensational personal attack upon
Perry S. Heath, late assistant post
master general, who was secretary Of
the republican national committee
during the recent campaign, charging
him with being Neely's sponsor, and
then denying it after the arrest Of
Nicely and also making allegations
against Heath in connection with gov
ernment deposits in New York bank.
Sulzer charged Heath with being
responsible for the circulation Of the
stories about his connection with the
fund for Boer widows Knox of Mas
sachusetts declared that it was ICON
temptible" to attack gentleman, who
could not reply, through the medium
Of an anonymous letter and moved
that the infraction of the rules be re-
ported to the house and stricken from
the record.
In the course of the debate upon
this motion Sulzer declared that al
though the communication was anony-
nous, he fathered every word Of it and
would be responsible for it as mem
ber of the house and as an individual.
The democrats filibustered against
the motion to expunge the letter from
the congressional record and finally
forced an adjournment, the effect be-
ing to permit publication OF the letter
in the record.

ALEX IMPRISONED MOVES CENSURED
North Dakota Politician Sentenced to One Years
Confinement for Contempt-Methods Of
Nome Court Denounced

from impressing us with the sincerity
of the pretension that his refusal to
obey the writs issued out of this court
that they were void, satisfies us that
it was intentional and deliberate and
in fur therance Of the high handed and
grossly illegal proceedings initiated
almost as soon as Judge Noyes and
Mckenzie had set foot on Alaskan ter
ritory at Nome and which may be
safely and fortunately said to have
no parallel in the jurisprudence of this
country.
"And it speaks we'll for the good,
sober sense of the people gathered on
that remote and barren shore that they
depended solely upon the courts for
correction of the wrongs thus perpe.
trated among and against them which
always may be depended upon to
right, sooner or later, the wrongs
properly brought before them. And
it is we'll in these days Of the rapid ex
tension of our national domain, for all
persons, whether residing in remote
regions or nearer home, to remember
that courts which respect themselves
and have adequate regard for the ad-
ministration of Justice and mainten-
ance of law and order, will never toll
crate any disobedience of their lawful
orders, writs or judgments, wherever
committed within their jurisdiction.
"It is inherent in the nature of
judicial authority, said the supreme
court of Florida, in the case of state
VS.. johnson supra, that every court
may protect and maintain it's jurisdic-
ton under the law and that it shall
protect itself against all attempts to
resist or thwart or overthrow It's au-
thority. ;"
Judge Ross closed by ordering that
Mckenzie be confined in the San Fran
CISCO county Jail for six months on
each charge, one term to succeed the
other.
Mckenzie was in court and appeared
very much surprised at the sentence
imposed. He was Immediately taken
into custody by Marshal Chinn.
Judge Geary requested the judges to
allow Mckenzie to 60 to the Ala ameda
county Jail instead Of the local insti-
tuition and permission was granted.
Geary stated that he had not deter
| mined regarding an appeal.

San Francisco, Feb. lin the con-
tempt proceedings against Receiver
Alexander Mckenzie of Nome City in
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals today Mckenzie was sentenced
to serve one years Imprisonment on
two counts, and Judge Noyes, who
appointed Mckenzie to his office, was
severely censured by the court for al
legged completely in the scandal.
The decision was rendered by
Judges Ross, Gilbert and Morrow in
the cases of John Tornazes versus L.
F. Melsing, ct al, and William Axle
man versus Henry Rogers. These are
two of the cases in which Mckenzie
declined to obey the writ of supercedas
issued by Judge Morrow directing him
as receiver to turn over money and
gold dust in his possession to the
owner.
Much testimony has been heard in
the cases and they have been pending
before the United States courts for
months. The evidence tended to prove
that a conspiracy existed between Off
cials at Nome to secure claims.
Mckenzie claimed he was not guilty
of contempt, because all papers issued
by Judge Morrow had not been filed in
the district court ut Nome at the time
he was there. His attorney, x-Con-
gresham Thomas Geary, urged that
the United States court of appeals did
not secure jurisdiction until the origi-
nal orders were filed.
Another important contention of
Mckenzie is that he acted on the ad-
vice of his attorney in disobeying the
order Of the court. Mr.. Geary told
him the order was void.
In the opinion read by Judge Ross
the court holds that the filing of cita-
tions in the district court of Nome
was sufficient to give the court of ap
peals jurisdiction, but in proper cases
may be considered in mitigation of the
offense. At this point in the decision
the court refers to the acts of Judge
Noyes and the manner in which the
affairs were conducted at Nome. It
says:
"The circumstances attending the
appointment Of the receiver in these
cases, however, and his conduct after,
as we'll as before the appointment. as
shown by record and evidence, 90 far

TO INVADE VENEZUELA.
New York Company Organizing An
Armed Expedition.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The state
department knows nothing officially
Of the reported organization by the
New York company of military force
in this country to protect it's town
interests in Venezuela. With the
latter country the United States is on
friendly terms and it could not allow
our territory to be made the base OF
operations against Venezuela, il it
should be disclosed to the department
that these we're of hostile intent.
But if the Venezuelan government
does not make complaint against the
departure of the reported expedition
it is improbable that any action will
be taken here.

FORMER SOLICITOR GENERALS
BITTER WORDS.
LAYS BLAME on ROBERTS
Rejected Opportunity for. Terms
After Butler Had Prepared
An Opening.

London, Feb. 11-Sir Edward
Clarke, the former solicitor general,
following up his speech Of February
7 before the Holborn conservative as
sociation, has written a letter to a
friend citing Lord Roberts rejection
of the opportunity to propose peace
terms in June, 1900, when General
Butler had prepared the way by con-
ferences with Christian Botha, who
asked what was offered.
Lord Roberts replied: "Uncondi-
tional surrender-the privates to be
allowed to 60 to their farms. No
promises to the commanders or to any
one who had taken an active part in
the bringing on Of the war.
"This," says Sir Edward Clarke,
"put an end to all negotiations. So
the war has gone on. The losses since
have been 1874 officers and 1,454 men
killed in action and died of wounds
63 officers and $500 men died of dis
ease and $50 officers and 20, 635 men
invalided home.
"We have spent from 60, O00,O 900 to
70, 900, 900 pounds devasting country
over which we desire to rule.
"We do not seem day nearer un-
conditional surrender than seven
months ago.
Sir Edward Clarke then says he
earnestly hopes that terms acceptable
without dishonor will be offered to the
Beers.
