AntIers Span over Five Feet,

One of the most striking objects in
the exhibit Of the Canadian Pacific
railway at the dominion exposition al
Toronto was a gigantic moose head
that was shot by Fred Southam OF
Montreal in the Kippewa district, to
the eastward of Lake Temiskaming.
The span of the antlers is 621s inches
and the head would have gone So were

Making Firm Bacon.

In Denmark they look upon barley
as the best for good bacon. Exercise
is conducive to firm bacon, and II
I.enty Of buttermilk is used, do not
think there is any danger of soft
bacon. After a pig reaches rs or 100
pounds almost anything can be given
1t in the way of feed. Some OF our
packers have been advocating keep
Ing the hogs until they are eight or
ten months old as help to produce
the firm bacon, but II fed right a hog
may be put on the market at six
months old. l think in many In.
stances the value of roots has been
overestimated, but they certainly help
to keep the hogs in good condition,
and prevent them from becoming too
fat when young. Without roots, our
difficulty has been to get them to
grow rapidly without getting fat. Fed
on something bulky they will grow
and at the same time not become
cry fat. 1t Is little diflcult to e.
plain the reason. The question Of
wheat feeding has never been taken
up by our institution. In feeding It,
| should mix something bulky with
1t, or 1t might be gummy and indL
gestible. | would much prefer feed
ing some roots with 1t. For young
pigs we found bats better than most
feeds. We grind them as finely a. we
can mix with mlddllngs.-Prof. @. IL

The bell a faithful second to his echo

DEMANDS AN INQUIRY.
Howe Wants to BE Relieved of
Any Suspicion.

Washington, April s. Maj. Robert
L. Howe, commanding the Porto
Rican regiment, arrived in Washing
ton to-day and Immediately made a
demand for court of inquiry
He is the officer who was mentioned
in the report of Gen. Miles, and who
has been charged with great cruelties
upon the Filipinos. At the time these
acts were alleged to have been COM
mitted he was in command of a post
in the extreme north of Luzon, and it
was asserted that he caused several
Fflipinos to be beaten to death One
case was cited as especially revolving.
1t is said that Maj. Swigert report
ed to the War Department that in the
absence of Maj. Howe, he caused the
body of this particular Filipino to be
disinterred and examined. The medi-
cal officers, he reported, found no
marks of violence whatever upon the
corpse, but did find that the man died
from an aggravated case of acute
Bright's disease. To make the inves-
tigation more conclusive the disinter-
ments were continued and none of the
several other bodies exhumed bore
marks of violence.

ON THE CHINA TROUBLE.
Information VIII Soon Be Given
by Publication.

~
Washington, April 9.-The diplomatic
correspondence relating to China in
the volume of foreign relations of the
United States soon to come from the
press forms an interesting chapter,
giving as it does among other things,
a history, told in diplomatic ex-
changes, of the important events oc-
curing in China during the period
covered. The correspondence result
ing from the incident of the visit of
the Vicksburg to Niu Chwang and the
trouble in which American sailors and
Russian soldiers were involved is Civ
en- at length.
In one of his communications to Sec
rotary Hay concerning the Niu
Chwang affair, Mr.. Conger said:
THE Russians have evinced annoy
ance because the English and American
gunboats came there without permits
sion or notice to them. The Russian
minister asked me yesterday why this
was done. l replied that because Niu
Chwang is an open treaty port, and
we had quite as much right there as
they, and neither their permission or
special notice of the coming of the gun
boat was necessary.
II said further that since the occu-
patton of Niu Chwang by the Russians
WAS temporary, and it was understood
that they were soon to leave, it was
not thought under the unsettled con
ditions to be safe to leave our interests
and our citizens there unprotected dur
ing the long and e-bound season. He
said he was pleased to know this. for
the Russians had all believed that the
coming of the Algerine and Vicksburg
was a sort of combined naval demon
stration against Russia"

FOR SOME DAns LONGER
The Mississippi River Will Be at a
Dangerous Hight.

Washington, April 9.-The lower
Mississippi river continues to fall slow
Iy. but in the New Orleans district
the high water will probably continue
for the next three weeks and possibly
longer. Changes during the next sew
eral days will be slight.
The breaks in the leVees above the
mouth of Red river have caused con-
siderable delay in the movement of
the Mississippi water, and it is now
apparent that the flood waters in Red
river will pass down in advance of the
Mississippi flood proper. The stages,
therefore, below the mouth of Red
river will not be as high as would
have been recorded had no breaks oc-
CURED in the levees. This is as stated
in previous bulletins. However, there
should he no relaxation in precaution-
airy measures, as dangerous stages
will continue south of Vicksburg from
one to three weeks longer. Red river
below Shreveport will continue to fall
slowly, but there will be slight rise
in the Ouachita during the next few
DAYS.
This will be the last special bulle-
tin issued. unless new developments of
special interest arise, but some men
ton will be made every three Or four
days of the progress of the flood in
the New Orleans district until it's final
decline.

HOW TO SPEND 1T.
As Hard a Problem as That of Get
ting War Claim Money.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 9.-The dis
position of the money derived from
the Indian war claim is a fruitful
source of speculation. The educational
institutions each want large appro-
priations.
Were the legislature to allow all
that will be asked for educational pur-
poses (and there is no doubt that the
colleges need more) the Indian war
claim money would be exhausted before
it went half around. The Governor, in
his message recommends that the
money be applied to paying off the
bonded Indebtedness of the state.
Among the law makers there is a
wide divergence of opinion on this sub
ject.
In recent address before the stu
dents and faculty of the Florida State
College, Senator G. F. Raney, former
chief justice of the Supreme Court,
said he would not favor using the
money to pay off the state debt. es-
pecially when it could be spent so
much more adVantageously for needed
public improvements.
The State Good Roads Association
will ask that the money be spent on
the improvement of public highways.
1T is the lnlenJlOn OF the ASSOCIATION
to hold a convention here during the
session, and it will make a
strong fight for an appropria-
ton to carry out the designs.
There was a warm exchange in the
Senate this morning over an amend
ment to increase the number of the
committee to visit the Deaf and
Dumb Institute at st. Augustine, from
three to five. Senator Harris, from
the Twenty fOurth, objected because
of the expense. He did not believe in
these junketing trips at the expense of
the state, where the members went off
to drink champagne and have a good
time while the people paid the bills.
Senator Peacock thought the objection
came with bad grace from a man who
had voted invariably to supply the
various commttees with clerks. He
could not understand why the gentle
man objected on the ground of econ
omy. After being discussed with
much heat the motion to amend was
carried. A similar motion, by Senator
Neel, to amend a resolution so as to
increase the membership of the COM
DeFuniak Springs, was lost.
This seemed to be resolution and
bill day in the Senate, nearly every
member having something to intro
duce. Nearly all the resolutions were
either to appoint clerks for the various
committees, or to appoint what Sen
ator Harris termed "junketing CONS
mitteeS."

CAN'T CLOSE CREVASSE.
Rush of Waters Defies the Large
Forces EmpIOYeI.

Forces Employed.
New Orleans, April 9.-Hope of clos
ing the Hymelia crevasse was practi-
cally abandoned to-day by Senator
Brady and those who have been as
ISOLATED with him. All day a terrific
current swept around the broken ends
of the cribbing and through the great
700-foot gap in the levee, undermining
the light piling which it had taken
thirteen days and nights to build. Early
i'm the forenoon it became evident that
any effort to build fresh cribbing to
icin the ends would be futile and every
energy was directed to protecting what
was left.
1t is understood that a complete sur
render will be made to the river to-
morrow if the experiment of driving
SeWall piling across the break in the
cribbing fails. A delegation from the
creVasse came to the city early to-
day and made purchases of this piling,
which will be sent forward tomorrow
1t is considered, however, that not a
chance in a thousand to close the Gre
vase remains. The levee board has
practically reached the end of it's le-
sources, and planters are pulling away
their hands in order to build protection
levees about their places. 1t will prob
ably be several weeks before the Gre
vase ceases to run.
The Weather Bureau expresses the
belief that high water will continue in
the Lower Mississippi for three weeks
or longer, though there will be but
slight changes in the next few days.
The river here to-day was pol.
