FIELD PEAS.
Eattenfng swine Uaon Them by
Grazing IA .iutEUlga.


Grami12G IA autumn.
By THOMAS SHAW.
In some OF the northwestern states
and in al the valleys OF the western
mountain states it is entirely practical
bile to grow peas ana to fatten swine
upon them in the fields in which they
have been grown. IA:s method of har
Vasti0g Eea5 with SWINE is practicable
wherever O. NADIA field peas are grown.
R,uf III Climates o. much rainfall in the
zls1t5.71--.2 months the grazing would be
attended with considerable loss, and on
clay soils mac, injury would be done
ID the land. Moreover, it would always
are stcconDa panied by u loss of the straw
40, fcod, bet where other fodder is
plentiful this loss would be more than
compensated by the saving in labor eff
fectel by harvesting the crop in this
way.
In western Minnesota and in much
OF North Dakota and South Dakota it
would be entirely practicable to grow
and harvest peas thus, as the autumn
season in the areas named is usually
dry Peas will also yield we'll in those
areas when properly grown; hence
there would seem to be no good reason
why in these localities peas should not
De made to take the place of corn in
.attening swine and with much less la
Dor involved than is called for in
growing and feeding corn. The peas
are grown in the same way as when
Grown for the grain The swine may
be turned in to feed upon them as soon
as they are of full size in the pods, and
the grazing may, of course, continue
until the crop is consumed. If the
swine can have access to alfalfa pas
ture while thus cleaning the profits
will be increased, but on peas alone
swine will keep healthy and gain rap
idly. The fattening period will cover
sixty to ninety days, according to the
condition Of the animals when the har-
yesting of the crop begins, and the in
crease in weight should be not less
than a pound for each animal daily.
Alfalfa and Peas.
In all or nearly all the valleys Of the
mountain states it would thus be pos
.Sible to produce an immense amount Of
pork in the aggregate and at very low
cost, and this would follow whether
the peas were successfully grown with
Or without irrigation. In all these val
legs the conditions which produce good
crops Of peas will also produce good
crops of alfalfa. Swine can be very
heaply grown on alfalfa with the adj
lition Of but little meal or grain until
he season arrives for finishing them
IA peas. The same areas produce bar
ey rapidly, on which brood sows may
wintered very cheaply when fed
Icing with field roots and alfalfa hay.
no other way can pork be produced
acre cheaply at the present time in
Dis country or Of better quality. While
he straw of the pea crop is lost for
eeding by this system, it will render
god service when plowed under in
upplying the land with vegetable mat
er relatively rich in nitrogen

Of considerable importance to Cot

outlet for the ranchers and stock
men OF the Joseph and Doumecq

Commissioners Order Survey.

We are informed that the county
commissioners have granted the
petition recently presented asking
for the opening of road from this
place down Grave creek~canyon to
Salmon river and have ordered the
road viewed out and surveyed to
ascertain whether it is practical or
not. The local Commercial club
has been working on this road ever
since the club was organized last
September and it is due to the ef-
forts of the club that the petition
for the road was presented to the
county board. The club had spe-
cial viewers to 60 over the route Of
the proposed road TO ascertain its
practicability and on finding that
an easy grade could be secured and
a road constructed at no great ex
pense the petition was drawn up
and the club had a man across the

ing signers If the viewers and
surveyor report favorably on the
road, which they will no doubt do,

Danger to Moffat Road.

Denver. Aug. 15.-The Republican
this morning says: AT the National IT.
rigation Congress, which convenes at
Portland, Oregon, on Monday. the great
issue to be fought out is the position of
the reclamation service officers, and
the great railroad corporations and
agents with regard to the Moffat Short
Line, a Colorado enterprise. The dele
gates from this state will be asked to
intervene in the interest of the road.
The Gore Canon reservoir project OF
the reclamation service Is but one.
1t is charged that the agents of the
reclamation service intend to stake out
a reservoir site on Bear river, in this
state. and 1t has already been an
nounced from Washington that 200.-
900 acres ofthe Uintah reservation have
been set aside to support a reservoir
system on the Duchesne river. Utah.
Now, all three are on the line OF the
Moffat road. any one of which would
seriously. II not fatally, interfere with
its construction.
Delegates from Denver and Colorado
to the Irrigation Congress Will be
asked to defend the road. The CON
gress itself is under the auspices Of
the reclamation service and the officers
of this department are the leaders Of
the congress.

tutions of which he was formerly di-
rector. Mr.. Root recently resigned
from the boards of the Morton Trust
Company. National Bank of Commerce,
Continental Fire Insurance Company.
Title Guaranty and Trust Company,
and several other corporations.
This action was taken in order that
he might assume the secretaryshiP Of

Eagles Convention.

Denver. Colo, Aug. 15.-When the
Grand Junction Eagles arrived in Dem
yer last night with a live specimen OF
the king of American birds right from
the Colorado mountains. it was de-
cided at Eagles headquarters that
everything was ready for the business
OF the convention which begins to-day.
Every train for the last two days has
been crowded with arriving delegates
and the stream will increase in volume
throughout to-day. The hosts are in
possession OF Denver
How many thousand Eagles from all
parts OF the country are here is diff
cult to estimate. Some enthusiasts
even set the figures as high as $4,000.
The big parade comes Thursday after
noon, when gaily garbed Eagles from
America, Canada and Mexico Will
make an immense display. Meanwhile
the convention is rife with the strug-
gle for the presidency on between
President Pelletier and Hy Davis of
Ohio, with the odds seeming to favor
the latter just now. Chicago wants
the next convention. and is likely to
get 1t unless all signs fail.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
SOME PROGRESS BEING MADE
Three Out Of Twelve Articles Agreed
to-Danser Point May Soon
BE Reached.

Portsmouth. N. H, Aug. 15.-Al-
though very rapid progress was made
with the peace negotiations yesterday.
three OF the twelve articles which COLI
stitute the Japanese conditions OF
peace having been agreed to by M.
Witte and Baron Rosen on behalf OF
Russia, neither OF the two articles To
which M. Witte in his reply returned
an absolute negative was reached.
The crisis. therefore, is still to come.
1t may be reached to-day, as the ces-
sion Of Saghalin comes fifth in the list.
The three articles" as they are Of
ficially designated in the brief COM
munications authorized to be given to
the press. which were disposed Of yes
terday. are in substance as follows:
First-Russia's recognition OF ia
pans preponderating influence" and
special position In Korea. which Russia
henceforth agrees is outside OF her
sphere of influence. Japan binding her
self to recognize the suzerainty OF the
reigning family. but with the right to
give advice and assistance to improve
the civil administration Of the empire.
Second-Mutual obligation to evacu-
ate Manchuria, each to surrender all
special privileges in that province. mu-
tuhi oDHSauOn 10 respect tne terrilo-
rial integrity" of China and to maintain
the principle of equal opportunity of
all nations in that province (open
door,.
Third-The cession to China Of the
Chinese Eastern railroad from Harbin
southward
There was never any question about
the acceptance on the part OF NJ. Witte
of these articles" the first two COW
ering in most emphatic form the con-
tentions of Japan in the diplomatic
struggle which preceded hostilities.
The third is a natural consequence
of the result of the war. The cession
of the railroad. the building of which
cost Russia an immense sum, esti-
mated by some at between $780,
100000 and 5000. 900 900. is to go to
China. Japan and China. therefore,
will arrange between themselves the
method by which the former is to be
remunerated and through this finan-
cial operation Japan might have very
considerable portion of her claims for
the Expenses of the war" liquidated.

The receipts were light on this mar
ket last week. although about normal
for this time of the year. The market
had n good healthy tone ell week. and
under = good demand u clearance was
made daily. Packers and butchers
started IN the week with light supply
on hand and were all out after cattle
during the first few days with the ef-
feet that good competition was had.
The hog market has been on the ad-
vance and closed around $500 to $6:05,
which Is about 20 cents higher than
week ago and so cents higher than two
weeks ago. The supply last week was
rather light and the demand very good.
The sheep market Is about 25 cents

Vote on Separation.

Christiania, Norway, Aug. 15.-The
returns from the national referendum
on the dissolution of the union show
that out OF 321, 1858 votes cast. only 161
are against dissolution. The Storthing
has been summoned to meet August
21st to take the next step toward the
repeal of the act OF uaion in agreement
with Sweden.
c. C. Berner, president of the Storth-
ing, said to the Associated Press:
"Norway's political desire Is to con-
tinue as a monarchy. The offer to the
house Of Bernadotte has brought forth
no answer. Norway cannot, however.
wait forever, and in reasonable time
will consider the failure to answer as
a refusal and will invite another
prince to occupy the throne. The
Storthing would not take the respon-
sibility of deciding in favor of re-
public, but would refer that question to
the people"

PROSPECTS OF PEACE.
ENJOYS May Overcome the Great Diff
culties Confronting Them.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 13.-There
is rift in the clouds. The prospects
of successful issue of the Washing
ton conference" have frightened some
what as result of yesterdays devel-
opments. The discussion of the terms
submitted by Japan has actually be-
gun, but this has been accomplished by
postponing the consideration of the
two main issues-indemnity and the
cession of Saghalin. So far as ascer-
tainable, the Japanese were responsi-
BILE for the tactics by which this hope
full stage was entered upon.
AS the mantle of secrecy has been
thrown around the proceedings by mu-
tual pledges not to divulge what hap
pened within the council chamber.
there are missing links in the chain OF
evidence and it is impossible to judge
whether this signifies a backdown on
either side of the main points.
On the face of things both sides are
still as uncompromising as ever upon
the two issues, the struggle over them
being merely postponed.
