had two of these dwellings next to
each other, both opening on their
irregular little shelf of a garden,
which was perfect rainbow of flow

own use, the other served as a guest
chamber.
1 asked madam how long these

Sugar Rect PAlp for Cows.

A publication of the department of
agriculture says: Prof. Thomas
Shaw expresses his belief that sugar
beet pulp can be fed more advan-
tageously to cattle and sheep that are
being fattened than to dairy cows.
The New York Cornell experiment sta
ton, however, found that this material
gave good results with milk cows, the
dry matter (solids) in it being about
equal in value to that in corn silage.
German experiments with beet pulp
for cows have also given good results,
the flow of milk being maintained in
a satisfactory manner. Some Danish
experiments have shown that, as COM
pared with mangels, the butter pro-
duced on sugar beet pulp was about
equal in quality and kept fully as well.
Where large quantities of the pulp were
fed the cream required to be churned

State department advices from San
Domingo indicate that the last revolu

breach between General Jiminez, who
aspired to succeed Wos Gil as pres
ident, and the provisional government
which has been In control of the
island since Wos Gil was deposed.
1t is supposed that Minister Powell's
infiexible attitude toward the provis-

recognize until it had agreed to admit
the validity of American claims, may
have had something to do with this

The decision is said to be without

indian policeman while resisting ar

about the reservation grounds In a
reckless manner. Two Indian police
men attempted to arrest him. One
seized the reins and endeayored to
drag him from the saddle, while the
other went around behind the horse.

such a manner as to kill him.

evidence of the prosecution, ordered

al and discharged the prisoner.
