Yellow Butter Without Dye.

To make butter with natural yell
low color during the winter months is
almost a lost art in this age Of frauds
and shams While farmers and dairy
men denounce o1eomargarine as fraud
and want law to prevent it from
being colored yellow, they do not sell
their own butter with its natural color
but use few drops Of butter color to-
give it an attractive tint. l supply q
few private customers with butter, and
while do not claim that my butter IS
as dark a yellow in the winter as IN
the months when the COWS are on pas
ture, yet it always has color enough
to look we'll without adding artificial
colorng to the cream. To make yellow
butter in the winter without artificial
aid requires extra care in making the
butter, in feeding the cows and select
ing the cows. Some cows will make q
darker tinted butter than others. The
Jersey COWS are perhaps the best for
making yellow butter in the winter and
firm butter during the hot summer
months. If butter color was not used
this fact would add to the value Of
Jersey cows.
In feeding to make yellow butter
think there is nothing better than car
rots. With good supply Of these
roots, together with plenty Of clover
hay and good corn and bran, with the
right care in handling the cream. i is
possible to produce fine butter in cold
weather. I generally have some blue
fall. and the cattle can get a bite when
there is no snow on the ground in the
winter.-Jersey Bulletin.
Late Flowing Kills Insects.
The white grubs Or larvae Of the
May beetle are hard to destroy, on ac-
count Of their underground life. A. w.
Gilman thinks the late fall blowing
will be beneficial, but it should be

considerable depth to pass the winter
Various artificial remedies have been
suggested for this insect, one Of which
is the mixing Of wood ashes with the

for the grubs and in some cases has
proved very effectual The application
of a strong kerosene emulsion, imme-
diately followed by a drenching with
water, which carries the oil down to
the insects, has been used very sue
cessfully, especially on dry and sandy
soil. This is a good remedy for small
areas, but it is doubtful if it would pay

States AuthOtitatiVe|y That Allied Powers Nil Soon Make
 Peace
VENEZUELA WILL HAVE
 NO PREFERRED CREDITORS
Though Several Conferences Were Held Minister Bowen Has No As- surances of an Immediate
 R7ising of Blockade,

Washington, January 24.-At midnight Minister Bowen gave out this statement;
 q have good reasons to believe the con- troversy between the allied powers and Venezuela will be settled soon and satis- factorily."
 MT. Bowen said he was able to make this positive statement after number Of conferences held during the day and even ing with the representatives of the allied powers. He expressed his qualification over the prospects of a speedy settlement of the difficulty. He had nothing to saS' however, as to whether the assurances he has received include an immediate raising of the blockade.
 From a trustworthy source 1t Is learned tonight that Venezuela's attitude with re- spect to claimants Is that there shall be no preferred creditors. The contention or the blockading powers that their claims shall be adjusted first, 1t is declared on authority. will be resisted to the utmost.
 It is understood in the representation or Venezuela by Minister Bowen ne has oeeh instructed to treat with the powers, de- manding indemnities on fair and eault- able basis, and to secure, if possible, the concession of a reasonable time in which to satisfy these demands It was salo that Venezuela, in view of her eforts through Minister Bowen to effect set tlement as speedily as possible, regards as wanton the bombardments which have taken place, and as rendering 1t more dir- ncult to reach an understanding with the claimants. aA tfrsE

SAN eABLos BURNED.
Little Village Back of Fort Completely
 Destroyed by Sheds.

Maracaibo. January 24--A boat with the representatives of the Associated Press on board, which was sent from Maracaibo yesterday to Fort San Carlos, returned to Maracabo today, bringing the news that the German warshlps had not shelled the fort since Thursday night. When the boat left San Carlos the Ger man cruiser Panther was the only war ship in sight. She was about mile from the bar.
 The village of San Carlos, consisting of eighty houses built of wood and straw and inhabited by about 250 fisher folk, was totally burned as result of having been set on fire by the explosion of shells from the warships.
 The garrison at San Carlos, numbering 239 men, was still holding the fort when the boat left the island. As the walls of the fort are low and near the water line, they are still in good condition, except on the seaside. The Panther on Thurs day tried on two occasions to pass through the channel in front of the fort, but dessted from so doing probably ow- ing to the danger of navigating those waters.
 The German cruiser Vineta, as this dis patch is sent is, according to reports she has been cabling to Berlin for instruc- tions.
 A rumor was current yesterday that the German consul and Herr Breurer, a lead- ing merchant of Maracabo, were mur- dered during the patriotic parade of the defenders of San Carlos. The report is not believed

MR. HOAR'S DENUNC|AT|ON
 IS GENERALLY COMMENDED
He Says the President Has Constitu- tionaI Method of Suggesting, and Should Quit Meddling-Other
 Gossip of Congress.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, January A.-(SpeciaD-The dictatorial policy pursued by the oecu- pant of the White House as to all legis- lation in which he may be interested Is having its effect here, especially in the senate, where the meddling of tho Presl- dent is justly resented. It is believed by many that had President Roosevelt kept his fingers out of the statehood pie the senate majority would not be in the all- tangled-up condition that 1t now presents, and that important legislation would be much further advanced. The caustic com ment of Senator Hoar of Massachusetts the other day upon the interference of the administration with bills pending in con- gress is universally commenced. All that the old and able Massachusetts senator said is worth reading. T do not want to interfere with the senator's bill." said he, with reference to measure. which one of his colleagues had called up with the statement that the President approved it, and will not.

Does Not Fancy plctatlon.

q should like to say that I do not fancy the practice which has grown up and which the senator from Kansas is not in the least responsible for,' contin- ued MT. Hoar. "I dare say we are all alike responsible in making statements as to what Is the opinion of one head uf "a department or what is the opinion of the President about legislation pending in this or any other house. There is constitu- tional method by which the President of the United States can communicate his approval or disapproval of bills, and out side of that method I hold it Is contrary to the privileges of the senate Tor the opinion of the President to be stated in Legislation The house of commons and the house of lords have always resisted it for a great many years when that statement was made about the crown. I do not think it is within the requirements of senate privileges to say what the sem ator from Kansas has just said when the President has formally communicated to us his veto.

Senator SppOner ArdentIy De- fends Position Taken by
 the President
SAYS FEAR OF MOB MADE
 MINNIE COX LEAVE TOWN
McLaurIn Makes Vigorous Reply and Says People of lndianola Had Right to Send Postmas-
 ter Petition.

Washington, January 24.-(Special)- The Indianola, Miss, postofrice case was given an airing in the senate this after noon, and for over three hours Senator Spooner of Wisconsin and Senator Me- Laurin of Mississippi made speeches for and against the action of the President in closing the postoffice in the little Mis- sissippi city, and denying its citizens the use of the United States mails.
 There was little new in the speech of Senator Spooner, which sought to justify the administrators attitude. It was the same story of the postoffice department. that the postmaster was compelled to ten der his resignation to mob, though the administrators spokesman would not give the names of those who had threat ened the postmaster, nor did he have any information to show that the so-called mob was anything more than peaceful meeting of citizens who possessed the right to petition. He did read several let ters, however, which throws the blame for the postmaster's retreat from Indian ola upon the Presidents political friends rather than the democrats.
 In attempting to show that there was a concerted plan to get the postmaster out of office as early as September, he quoted a letter from A. B. Weeks. who said that the postmaster was to resign on January. 1. and he would be candi- date for tue office, and hoped that he would Shaye the support of the depart ment.
 When Mr spooner concluded reading the letter he was asked for the politics of Weeks. and admit ted with some con fusfon that he was republican candi- date for the office
 The debate over the affair did not prove to be as lively as was expected. Both Sem ator Tillnan of South Carolina and Sem ator Carmack tried to get time to speak on the subject, but were unable to do so. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts raised a furry of laughter on the democratic side by continually referring to the negro post master as "a colored lady"
 Senator Tillman expects to address the senate on the subject one day next week

Senate Tackles Flat Salary.

Farrar introduced senate concurrent
resolution No. 2, requiring the gov.
ernor to lay before the next session of
the legislature full information as to
the emolum ants Of the various state
officers, in order to enable that body
to act in the matter OF fiat salaries.
Senator Smith stated that he would
oppose the resolution, II II would in
any way delay such legislation at this
session. and Mr.. Farrar Nated' that he
would favor a fiat salary law at this
session il possible, yet he wanted to
place the initiative in the hands OF
the governor.
Miller discussed the resolution from
political view point, charging that
the resolution was simply a process
Of delaying action at this session.
Mays favored the resolution, except
in so far as It assumes that this legis.
lature has not sufficient information
TO act now. Kuykendall claimed that
fiat salaries probably meant higheL
salaries than the officers are now re.
ceiving, He predicted that no fiat sal.
airy action would be taken at this ses
sion. President Brownell called at.
tention to the fact that IL would be
presumptous on the part of the legls
lature to pass a resolution requiring
the governor to do what the state
constitution already requires of his
exc cheney.
Pierce charged that the Republi.
cans had kept bad faith, inasmuch as
they smothered all fiat salary bills al
the last session. He pointed out that
II makes no difference what the fees
OF officers amounted to when the legis.
lature really wants to establish just
and proper fiat salaries.
Senator Smith spoke against the res.
olution, and suggested that the sena'
tor who introduced ii was acting as
an obstructionist, and an evasionist.
He opposed the measure, and called
attention to the fact that a Republi'
can caucus had agreed to pass a fiat
salary bill at this session. Mulkey al.
so opposed the resolution. inasmuch
as IL might prevent legislation now.
Upon motion, the resolution was
made a special order for 3 p. m.
