AND CRITICISM OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE.
Whitney Asks for Interview Which
President Refuses to Grant in
View Of Past Experiences.

Boston. Nov. 20.-Henry NJ. Whitney.
Democratic candidate for lieutenant
governor at the last election, made
public, tonight, correspondence which
passed between President Roosevelt
and himself concerning the subject
matter Of statements made by the
President during an interview, last
winter which was granted to COM
mittee from Massachusetts on recip-
rocal trade relations. The President in
formed a Massachusetts committee
which called upon him, last week, in
favor of free hides, that Mr.. Whitney
had deliberately misrepresented what
had occurred at last winters confer
ence. With this experience in mind,
the President declined to enter upon a
discussion of free hides with the free
hides committee. the chairman Of
which was Gov. William L. Douglas.
The statement of Mr.. Whitney dur
ing the recent canvass in Massachu-
setts that the President told him he
favored reciprocity with Canada was
that to which the President took ex-
ception. After the President had made
public his address to the hides COM
mittee, Mr.. Whitney maintained that
the President had certainly spoken in
favor of reciprocity with Canada on
broad lines during their interview.
Mr.. Whitney's letter to the President
under date of Nov. II follows:
You have done me a great injustice
in publicly asserting that 1 have will
fully misrepresented your attitude on
the question of reciprocity with Can
ada, and that this was done in a cow
ardiy fashion. by saying what 1 did
under conditions when the dignity Of
your high Office prevented you from
denying. l think am not open to this
charge. l claim in my humble way to
be fair fighter. 1 believe 1 have a
well-etsablished and well-deserved
reputation in this community for fair
ness and justice.
Il may have misunderstood you and
hence have been led into error. You
have charged me with an offence Of
which l am not guilty. you have con-
demned me unheard. I appeal to your
sense of fairness for personal hear
ing. My public utterances touching
your attitude on this question are very
few and very brief. 1 will bring them
with me If you grant me this request.
I will have the passages marked and
it will not take you two minutes to
read them.
Il trust therefore that you will grant
my request: but whether you do or not
shall regret more than anything else
in connection with this matter that the
righteous cause of reciprocity with
countries Of so much value
to our people and to the whole of the
human race, is not have to the indorse-
ment Of your great name and the ben
eft of your potent aid
Il take the liberty of enclosing here
with public statements made by myself
and my associates touching the matter
of our interview with you, last winter,
which perhaps you have not SEEM"

THE RIGHT COWS.

Says Professor George A. Smith OF
the Geneva experiment station: The
farmer should dispose of all cows not
showing a good net profit at the end
of. the year. 1t is only by careful
analysis at 'ifferent seasons of the
year that the farmer can tell which
COWS are the best. Twenty cows well
fed and cared for are worth more
than 40 half kept.
''The following shows the produc-
ton. of three COWS, all about six years
Of. age. of equal size and with the
same care and feed: No. l produced
5000 pounds of sc per cent. No. 2
made G,000 pounds of per cent milk.
No, 3 made 4,G00 pounds of S.S per
cent milk. The cost of keeping was
n little over $40 each. This means

An Incident OF the Commune.

An old lady who was in Paris dur
ing the Commune related the follow
ing incident apropos of some talk
about the siege of Port Arthur:
''One night there was a fight in
front of the house in which lived and
a man was killed. The body was not
removed and lay where it fell. At
daybreak the next morning looked
out to see if the body was still there
Just then man came down the street
and stopped by the body. He careful

man. but did not ind single cent.
This so angered him that he gave the
dead man vigorous kick. Then he
walked away and had gone only a
short distance when he found a paw

returning to the dead body he raised
the stone and with it smashed the
head of the corpse. oh. yes; war is

THE BOAR IS IMPORTANT.

The first, and if not the most impor-
tant, point in raising pigs is the selec,
ton of boar. 1t is hard to end right
if you have not started right. This
selection of boar must be made
with the idea in view, as to whether
the pigs are to be fattened and sold
to the butcher as fresh pork when
but few months old, or whether you
intend to keep them until they attain
their full growth and thsn faaten
them for market. Your boar must
also be selected with reference as to
whether you wish to raise large hogs
or the smaller or finer o1es that are
marketed at younger age. Don't
forget to use lot of judgment in Sc.
lecting the board and then You will
at least be started right.

POINTERS ON MILK.

1OllN EnJ ON MllIIA.
A bulletin issued by the Storrs STA,
ton in Connects Tn the food value
of a pound OF MT, gives the follow
ing conclusions:
These experiments were made with
young animals, in which the digestive
fluids were not in full and active
operation.
To produce one pound of gain In
live weight in these young animals,
more total solids were required with
the milk rich in butter fat than with
the milk poor in butter fat.
Later in the trials. with pigs fed
on rich milk ad lbit.m, serious d.
gestive disturbances were noticed.
The failure of d pound of milk
solids in rich mix to make equal or
better gains was not due apparently
to lack of heterogeneous mate rial, but
rather to the excess of fat OF to the
character of the fat.
Larger fat glo5ules were found in
the richer milk. and this fact. in CON
necticn with the digestive disturb
ances, would seem to indicate the
reasons for the larger gains from a
pound of solids with the poorer milk.
Fat giobu,es in human milk are
smaller than the fat globules in COW S
milk II it is safe to reason by anal
ogy from the brute to the human,
then whole milk containing low per
cent of ia. would seem to be better
suited for infant feeding than who
milk high in per cent of tat.
