How to Clean Coral.

TO clean white coral soak It for some
hours in cold rain water and then i'm
merse it in a solution Of chloride Of
lime. Let it remain for twenty-four
hours and then hold it under a cold wa
ter tap for about ten minutes so that
the water may percolate through it. If
the coral be very dirty this process
may have to be repeated a second time.

The May rains which seriously inter
fere with the planting of the corn do
great things for the grass and hay
crops and insure good growth Of
straw on all small grain crops.

The best way to get rid of quack
grass is to not let it get a foothold on
the farm. Once there, it is difficult

The low rate long haul makes it pos
sible for the corn grower in Nebraska
TO ship his corn to the gulf or the At
lantic seacoast at profit, but it also
makes it possible for all his steers and
hogs to go to Chicago for slaughter and
so prevents the building up of home
packing houses and factories. 1t is not
easy to so fix freight rate that the
farmer can catch things both coming
and going.

The automobile is doing something
to help the business of the department
stores. If a farmer is afraid to send
his wife or daughter to town for fear
that they may meet machine and
have runaway, he is quite likely to
turn to the catalogue house and order
his goods from the city.

AS it looks to us, the farmhouse lawn
should be a good large one. and the
trees and shrubbery on it should be so
grouped that it may be easily run over
with the moving machine, requiring
then only little trimming around the
corners. Such a lawn cut over three
or four times during the summer, while
not quite as sleek and trim as town
mans lawn, still makes a very pleas
ing setting for country home and in
this manner is not much trouble to
care for

A woman with two grown daughters,
living in Ohio, lost her husband. and
part of his estate she found was a
tract of land in northern Arkansas
which she went down to see and to
SELL She was SO much pleased with
the climate and possibilities of that
country that she moved there. has con-
verted her farm into fruit ranch and.
aided by her daughters, is making a
lot of money. The truth is that there
is really no need for bright woman
to loaf and primp around, waiting for
some man to marry her.

We have several inquiries as to the
value Of redtop as a forage plant. In
a general way we regard redtop as
one of the least valuable of our
grasses, and it quite often becomes a
nuisance by pre-empting fields where
better grasses should grow Still, it
has its uses. If the soil of a meadow is
sour and wet, so much SO that timothy,
clover and blue grass viii not do well,
redtop can be used to advantage. I'm
der such conditions it will make a fair
" good pasture If cut for hay it must
be cut early, before it becomes woody,
to have the stock relish it. In the mat
ter of yield and palatability it is every
way inferior to our other tame grasses

It will be the part of wisdom for the
owners OF automobiles to carefully
study the relations which exist be-
tween the man with the machine and
the farmer There now exists a most
implacable hostility on the part of the
farmer toward the machine, which is
finding expression In every conceivable
manner-in rigid and hampering legis-
lation, In Instructions placed on the
highways and In attempts to run into
and injure the machines whenever it
can be done with safety This antago-
nism has its origin largely in the reck-
lessness of a few chauffeurs, the crazy
scorchers who race the highways over
at the limit of their speed and are ut
terly Indifferent to the rights of all
other lawful users of the highway. The
increasing number of the machines will
in time accustom the horses of the
country districts to them, SO that one
serious difficulty Of the present time
will be obviated. but the problem Of the
reckless driver remains and II not dealt
with by the machine men as an organi-
cation will be most efectually settled
by drastic legislation.

ESTIMATES VARY.
Japan's Peace Terms Being Widely
Discussed in Toxic.

Toxic, June II, p. Man Associated
Press message on Thursday brought
the earliest public intimation of pros
pective peace negotiations, but pend
ing the receipt of the formal message
from President Roosevelt and the trans
mission of japanese response, Toxic re-
fused to allow the transmission OF press
kilograms bearing on the subject All
information was withheld from the
public until o'clock tonight when the
foreign Office issued a statement con-
tanning President RoOseVelt's letter and
Foreign Minister KOmura'S response,
and newsboys were quickly on the
streets of the capital with extra edi-
lions of the newspapers.
The Japanese pienipotentiaTieS to ar
range terms of peace are already be
ing discussed. The names Of Marquis
Premier KatsuTa, Foreign Minister KO-
muTa, Marquis Yamagata and others
are being suggested for possible heads
of the commission.
Popular estimates of JaPan's terms Of
peace vary widely and include both in
demnity and cession of territory. Il is
believed that the peace commissioners
viii meet somewhere in the Orient.

PEACE NOT CERTAIN.
japanese People Warned Not to
Count Upon II Too Much.


Toxic, June 10, p m.-Delayed in
transmission.)-The Jill says:
Japan has shown a willingness to
appoint plenipOtentiaries to meet the
Russians and negotiate peace, but it is
premature TO think this will lead to the
ultimate conclusion of peace.
Much as Japan would like to see
peace effected. nothing short of the full
rights of vietors placing the peace of
the orient on a permanent basis viii
satisfy Japan. 1t is premature to dis
cuSS terms of peace It probably will
become necessary to arrange an armis-
tice at the commencement of negotia-
tiOns, and il viii be essential to obtain
some guarantee before concluding an
aTmistice in order TO prevent the in
suffering in the event of ne
gotiations being broken off. The
great and unprecedented japanese
victory must not be forgotten. Russia's
great power is not easily broken down.
1t might require years before the ul-
innate result of the war is attained.
Japan does not fear the prolOngati0H
of the war, but the heavy loss of lives
involved move the people from the
depths OF their hearts.
The Jill thanks President Roosevelt
and pays tribute to him for his action.
1t concludes by warning the people to
be prepared for the nOn-success of the
negotiations and for the possible neces-
sity of continuing the struggle
The Nichi NiChi writes in the same
strain, warning the people not to count
on peace while the war party in Rus
STA continues to exert its influence over
the emperor. It urges Japan to insist
on some guarantees so as TO secure its
protection if an aTmistice should be de-
clared. Japan's terms may not be ex-
acting, the paper says, but the fact of
her unqualified victory must not be
forgotten. The Nichi Nichi concludes
by saying that the situation requires
calmness and watchfulneSs."

TO STOP CONTESTS
Congregations of Two Churches Ask
the Mayor to Prevent Proposed
Sparring Exhibitions.

The congregations of two churches,
the First Methodist and the Westmin-

Richard P. Morris TO prevent the box
ing exhibitions which Gardner and

The Honorable r P Morris. Mayor Of
salt Lake City.-Sir. We. the members
and friends Of the congregation Of the
First Methodist EpiSCopaI church in reg
ular service assembled. DO hereby enter
our vigorous protest against the action
which has made possible a SO-Callsd box
ING exhibition at the Salt Palace on June
We desire to call your attention to the
TACT that fistic carnival is being adj
VertiSed IN the columns of the press, and
by other means. 10 take place al the said
salt Palace on July ,. 1870 It is common
~ reputed that a that time one FitZsim-
mons. and another named ShCreCk- will
attempt to slug each other for the delee-
tation of spectators and for sundry gate
receipts.
In view Of the fact that such exhi-
uittohS, DoAlnS BOUTS OF prize I1SntS, are
debasing and demoralizing in the eX-
IRENE. We urge upon you. the honorable
mayor, the necessity of exercising your
pFeFogative and refusing to these par
Elephants license under whatsoever guise
It may be requested.
As citizens having the interests Of this
city at heart, and believing that the IN
fluence Of such exhibitions as above
described is wholly bad on the reputa-
ton OF the city and upon the life of our
young people. We plead with you TO stop
all such brutality
Prize fighting has no defense, and Salt
Lake City is not anxious TO become the
Mecca for pUgilists. We are glad to
pledge you our support in all efforts for
Improving the moral tone of the city
Inc address or communication to
Mayor Morris from thu congregation
or the Westminster Presbyterian church
also calls on him to stop both con-
tests, and says the petitioners do not
want Salt Lake City 10 get the name
of a prize fight city"

Russian Plenipotentiary Will Not
Conclude Peace,

st. Petersburg. June IL, 11:45 p. NJ
Russia is waiting for Japan to fix the
time and place when and where the
Japanese terms will be placed IN the
hands of Russia'S representatives The
foreign office expects that the delay viii
be brief
The enperOT's government would pre-
fer that Paris should be the scene of
the initial step, but it is explained to
the Associated Press that neither the
place nor the personality of Russian
representatives matters greatly. The
Russian representative will not he

confined to the reception and transmits
sion to his government of the Japan
csc terms for decision as to whether
they afford a basis for actual peace ne
gotiations. He will be clothed with
power to effect an agreement for the
suspension of hcstilities, which sUspen
sion will probably he for a, very limited
period. during which Russia must de-
eide the mOmentOuS question Of peace
or a pTolonga ton of the war. During
the temporary aTHistice both countries
probably will be free to continue the
movement of troops and munitions of
war within prescribed limits, although
nothing definite on this point will be
known until the meeting takes place.

WANT FRUITS OF VICTORY.
Japs Not Prepared to Sacrifice Their
ADVANTAGE.

Toxic, June II, p. m.-The japanese
continue to maintain an attitude of re-
serve toward the question of peace.
There were some demonstrations in the
streets of the capital late Saturday
evening and today students organized
q celebration, but a rainstOrTn speedily
cleared the streets.
1t seemed to be the popular fear that
Japan viii sacrifice the advantage of
Admiral TOgo's victory as well as Field
Marshal Oyama's opportunities by con-
senting to an aTmistice now. 1t is felt
that TogO's victory opens the entire
Russian Pacific coast to invasion and
Oyama is capable of speedily taking
Hardin. cutting the railway and isolat-
ing Niadivostok. It is also feared that
the Russians will take advantage of an
armistiCe to improve their positions
and strengthen their forces.
There is general demand that japan
carefully safeguard its interests If an
armistice is declared
Sunday brought no important develop
ments in the situation. No informa-
ton concerning RUssia's formal answer
to President Roosevelt's proposal has
been received here and the government
preserved an attitude of silence.
