TERMS OF PEACE.
They Have Been Practically Agreed
Upon by Japan and Russia.


st. Petersburg, Feb. %. = Despite
the official denials, the Publishers
Press correspondent is in a position to
state that the czar and his advisers
have of late not only discussed the
question of peace with Japan, but have
also practically agreed upon certain
terms, which are acceptable to the en-
peror, and, it is alleged, are almost
identical with those which have been
submitted by the Japanese government
to Russia through the agency of the
German emperor. 1t is still denied
that such terms were submitted, but it
is nevertheless true that they have
reached the hands of the czar.
The terms acceptable to both nations,
and practically agreed to by the czar,
place Korea under Japanese suzerainty
and cede Port Arthur and the Lao
Tung peninsula to Japan.
Vladivostok, under the stipulations,
is to be declared neutral and open
port in place of Port Arthur, the neu-
tralization of which japan would not
agree to. This feature, hit is stated,
proved one of the most Objectionable to
Russia, as it was hoped that the dis
armament of Port Arthur and it's trans
formation into purely commercial
port, open to all nations, would end the
vexing Manchurian question.
The Eastern Chinese railway is to be
placed under a neutral international
administration, and, in order to pro.
vide some sort of safeguard for future
peace in Manchuria, that country, as
far north as Harbin, is to be restored
as an integral part of China.
The main difficulty in the way O.
bringing about immediate peace seems
to be the question of indemnity. 1t il
known that Japan will insist upon {
considerable money payment, and Rus
sia is not willing to submit to that con
dition. The difficulty, however, is b,
no means insuperable, but if it should
prove to be serious obstacle, the cza
will perhaps be willing to risk anothe
battle in the hope of gaining a victor.
which may make the Japanese NOR
amenable to the Russian arguments.

Russian Raiders Violate Neutrality

Tientsin, Feb. %. - About 300 Rus
sian raiders slightly damaged the rail-
way between Haicheng and Tatchekiao
on Monday night and again disregarded
the neutrality of the territory west of
of the Lao river. The presence of Chi
nese soldiers was not reported. 1t is
evident that the villagers kept the Rus
slams we'll informed as to the DISPOSE
tion of the Japanese troops. 1t was ex-
pected that the raiders woud repeat
the attempt to destroy the japanese
stores at Niuchiatun, but they retired
without an engagement.

Oil Refinery for Colorado.

Denver, Feb. %. = Representative
Clifton H. Wilder's bill appropriating
$125, 900 for the establishment of a
state oil refinery was favorably reported
to the house by the finance committee
today. The bill also contains pro-
visions to regulate the price of oil. In
dependent oil producers who are sup
porting the measure have offered to
lease and operate the refinery when
constructed, and to advance the money
for it's construction at low rates.

Awful Crimes Stain Baku.

Baku, Feb. %. = The town is now
quiet. All the Armenian shops have
been closed, but the banks are doing
business under military protection.
Order has been restored at Balakhany,
but at Romany today strikers attacked
two factories and as result 80 persons
were killed or wounded. In Baku many
terrible murders have been committed.
Manager Adamoff, of the Naphtha Re-
fining works, his wife and children,

Great Ice-Gorge Breaking.

Cincinnati, Feb. 27.-The ice gorges
in the Ohio river, in this vicinity,
which were the heaviest known for
many years, began to give way during
the night, several breaks occurring at
various points. Although the river
rose several feet during the same time,
the ice was so heavy that it soon caught
again, forming new gorges. Property
damage estimated at more than $75 900
was caused by these early movements
of the ice, but no loss of life.

opinion by Commissioner Clements,
today rendered it's decision in the
California orange cases brought by the
Southern California Fruit exchange

gagged in pooling the traffic in citrus
fruits originating in Southern Cali

Heaves in Horses,

In mild and recent cases the heaves
may often be cured entirely by turning
the horse out to pasture for two or
three months. If it is necessary, how
ever, to work a horse affected with
this trouble, he can be relieved greatly
by feeding no hay except at night, and
then only small amount of clean and
bright hay, entirely free from dust.
If there is any danger of dust 1t is
well to dampen it, but only bright
hay should be given. Roots will be
found helpful; beets, turnips, potatoes
or anything of that sort that the horse
will eat. The amount of water should
be limited as much as possible, and no
horse with heaves should be given
water for one or two hours previous
to going to work. DR.. Law recon-
mends arsenic in five-grain doses daily,
and continued from a month to two
months, as especially valuable, and
says that the bowels must be kept
easy, by laxatives If necessary. By
treatment Of this sort a heavey horse
can be greatly relieved. When the
disease first comes on it will pay to
turn the horse to grass, with the hope
Of effecting cure at once and before
the disease progresses to the extent
where it becomes incurable.-Wal-
lace's Farmer.

Washington, Feb. 21.-An earnest
effort is being made by congressman

in the naval appropriation bill pro-
vision for per cent differential in
favor of shipyards on the West coast in

Openings for Nut Culture.

The United States Consul at Frank
fort, Germany, calls attention to the
increasing use of hazel-nuts in hotels
and private houses. Owing to the large
quantity imported, he suggests that
farmers children In the United States
might supply themselves with pin
money by growing hazel-nuts for the
home and foreign markets. The domes:
tic chestnut is still a favorite, and
at the opening of the season some
times brings as high as SIS bushel.
There are, too, large quantities of
hickory nuts, the boys favorite; but
ternuts, which are the favorites of
those who grew up in the country, and
some other sorts, like black walnuts
and bull nuts, which have their adher-
ents, and all are particularly desirable
for food.

Exercise the Stallion.

Stations should be put to work and
kept at work whenever not in active
stud service and then they will be
surer and have fewer returned mares
to look after and can do a bigger busi-
ness, says a correspondent of National
Stockman. No stallion is too good to
earn his oats behind a collar, and usu-
ally the more he earns there the more
he is able to earn in .-e stud. One
reason for the vitality and endurance
Of our trotting horses is that the sires
were either raced or trained or driven
a good deal of the time. The same is
true. Of some imported draft horses,
the French horses especially, which
are worked at year and half or two
years old and as long as the farmer
has them. The race of horses that is
not worked may possess size and
weight, but it will not have the power,
the nerve and the get there and stay
at it ability that it needs to perform
hard work.

Hens Eating Eggs.

Egg-eating hens are nuisance, and
after many years of experience in poul-
try raising the writer feels that when
his hens are discovered at the trick the
best way of stopping it is to kill the
hen. If our birds were not well sup
piled with limy substances, such as
oyster shells and the like and all the
grit they desire, we would furnish
these before killing the hen. AS a
rule. the habit is merely habit, and
is not due to any lack of food ele-
ment except that of lime.
Usually the egg-eating hen gets into
the habit by eating an egg that has
become accidentally broken; liking the
taste, she acquires the habit, and once
acquired it is almost impossible to
break 1t. We have found it the better
plan to have both grit and the lime
material so placed that the hens may
help themselves at will. Some hens
REQUIRE more of these than do other
hens, 80 it is hard to dole it out prop
erly. 1t is. better to let them decide
as to their needs whenever possible.

whether from hard or soft coal, is
always very low, for not only are the
proportions of plant food exceedingly
small, but the compounds present are
as well very insoluble."

Retaining Manure Values.

NcCd1n1n& Manure SaAuCSs
There is probably no better way OF
handling manure made in feeding cat
tie loose in stables than to apply nt-
ter daily to absorb the liquids ana
keep the cattle clean and allow the
manure to accumulate under the cat
tie.
1t was once supposed that If manure
was kept under cover its fertility
would not be appreciably wasted. The
Department of Agriculture finds that
large losses may occur, though not TO
such an extent, of course, as from the
open yard manure pile.
The best way to keep manure seems
to be to pack it into a solid mass, and
exclude the air, in a somewhat sim
liar manner to the way silage is put
up. The department notes experiments
where steer manure was kept In deep
stalls under the feet Of the animals
for months, as against the method OF
cleaning the stall out daily and stor'
ing in a compact heap under cover,
enough fine cut litter being used each
day to apparently absorb all the liquid
manure. The deep stall manure was
trampled to a very dark, compact mass
and there was very little loss Of the
valuable fertilizing constituents
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
With the manure kept in, heaps one
third Of the nitrogen, one-fifth of the
potash and one-seventh of the phos
phoric acid was lost, the total money
value of the losses being equivalen1
to $3.50 for each steer stabbed for si1
months.
Manure, it is stated, can be KEEP
almost perfectly, so far as the fer
tilizer constituents are concerned, b!
use Of the ''deep stall'' system. Elk
periments show, however, that nitro
gen is lost very rapidly by such man
ure, if it be allowed to lie after tn
removal of the stock, without sucl
covering as will retain the moistur
and exclude the air.

Milk and bran make an excellent
slop.
A strong maternal appearance
should be the first considera ton in a
brood SOW.
No SOW carrying her young should
be allowed to become constipated.
The brood sow and the growing
pig should not be fed as the fatten-
ing animal.
A sow may often be kept as profit
able breeder until she is seven years
old.
Too early breeding weakens the ma
terial forces of the sow, causing small
and weak litters.
To obtain the best results sow
should be In good flesh and gaining,

The Modern Farm in Germany.

The Modern Farm In Germany.
Electricity for farming purposes has
probably been developed more in Ger
many than in any other country. A
large number of German estates are
now run almost entirely by it, the
smaller ones being equipped usually
in groups from a single power plant,
as at Chottorf, while many Of the
large estates have their own private
plants. A striking example of this
latter class is the farm of Prof. Back
haus, at Quednau, in the eastern part
of Russia, which covers an area Of $50
acres and has a dairy producing about
1000 gallons Of milk per day. The
buildings are all lighted by incandes-
cent lamps and the grounds, In places,
by arc lights. The current is supplied
from a small central station contain
ing a 5O-horse power engine direct
coupled to two generators, and a
switchboard for the control OF the
various circuits, all parts Of which
are SO simple and plainly marked that
any farm hand can understand and
operate it. In addition to the lighting,
power is supplied for the pumping Of
water and the driving of saws, feed
cutting machines, a threshing and a
grist mill, and an electric churn in the
dairy. Besides these stationary power
appliances there are number of cleo
trically-driven agricultural machines
for use in the fields, including an auto
mobile plow, all of which are run by
storage batteries and may be charged
at conveniently sub-stations. To round
out the completeness of the equipment
the barns are heated by electricity
and ventilated by motor-driven fans
and all parts of the farm have tele-
ohonic intercommunication

He might have said that he did not know any thing about a killing for he was not then sure that Salazar was dead. De- putty Sheriff Cunningham was put on in rebuttaI and testified that Gadalbon did tell him and Deputy Sheriff Davis on their arrival at the camp that he did not know where Lucero was but afte- some persuasion he said that he would go out and see if he could find him.
 There was another bit of testimony in the course of the day and that was for the purpose of weakening the tes- timony of F. Baca one of the witnesses for the territory the day before. It was shown that he had served a term in the penitentiary though he had sworn he had not been at Yuma.

who had instructed her to shake her
 head in reply to his questions?
 The wife Antonia Sanchez de Lucero took the stand. She said that she had been married to the defendant for twenty-two years and that they had two children of whom the daughter Amelia was the younger. She was aI- lowed to tell of her daughter going to the canal after water and of her re- turn but on the objections of the terri tory to any relation of the events at the canal it was prohibited unless it was made within the hearing of the de- fendant. However in one way or an- other it all got before the jury.
 The only other witness for the de- fense was GadalbOn. He described the return of the defendant to the tent and his anger at hearing of the insult to his daughter. His testimony was a corroboratiOn Of the story of Lucero LucerO returning to the tent after the shooting had said that he made an ar rangement to come to Phoenix and surrender himself but he feared to cross the canal lest friends of Salazar might Waylay him at the bridge. He told Gadalbon that he would go down the canal to the Black Canyon crossing and remain there until daylight If the O--iCeIS SIiOuLu come DeIOre that time he said said he would be found there; if they should not come he would pro- ceed to Phoenix. The witness said that the officers did come and he set out to find the defendant and did find him where he said he would be.

FLATTERING REGISTRATION
All Previous Records Broken by a
 Long Distance.

The city registration which closed at midnight disclosed a very satis- factory state of affairs. It appeared from it that there were 1884 qualified voters within the city limits. This ex- ceeds by more than one hundred the registration of two years ago and that was stuffed registration. There were 1928 names on the great register but so many of them had been obtained by fraud that nearly one third of the persons registered had left town or were afraid to run the risk of going to the penitentiary by appearing at the polls that only 1875 votes were cast.
 Most of the persons then registered were registered by peripatetic register ing officers desirous of making a good showing. They did not hesitate to register the most perfect stranger and as a matter of fact many were regis tered who had not been in the territory a week.
 This year only those have been reg istered who took enough interest in the coming election to come to the office of the city recorder. In most cases if the persons were strangers to the recorder or his assistants thy were accompanied by some well known persons who vouched for their citizenship and it is thought that nearly all who have registered will vote.
 As an illustration of the good faith of the registered it is mentioned that one man by the name of Charles P Arnold who had made an affidavit of registration and whose name had been entered called a day or two later and asked that his name be removed from the list. He said that he had made a mistake about the term of his resi- dence in the territory. He said he had found out that on May 2 the date of the election he would have lacked fifteen days of having lived in Arizona one year.
 No doubt some have registered who should not have done so but the reg istratiOn is being so closely watched now that it is not probable that any
