Now we should Gull our focks

"Pullets for profit should be
kept tame. Wild, scarey birds
never amount to much, the egg
crop depends upon the amount
of confidence and comfort the

Each must be active, made to

Dairy Notes.

Butter, if once allowed to
thoroughly cool, cannot be made
so thoroughly plastic as when
completed at its first finish.
Butter failing to come quickly
is often due to a difference in
temperature : using a good Their.
mometer will avoid much un-
necessary trouble.
One advantage with the separa
tor is, that 1T enables the dairy
man to secure more cream from
the milk and also more butter
from the cleam.
AS "hay is made when the sun
Shines" so is money increased to
that dairyman who managed so
that his cows yield milk abund
antly when dairy prices are high.
Some dairymen seem to forget
that the amount of profit on a
pound of butter often depends as
much on reducing the cost Of pro
duction as in obtaining an en-
HANGED price.
When a COW is In full milk and
full flesh, she will give her
NAL quality of milk for at least q
limited time even though the
quality and quantity of food be
very deficient.
The work of making butter is
least when all the conditions for
making the butter IRE just right.
1t is easier, therefore, to make
good butter than bad because
good butter is always produced
when conditions are just right

Winter Quarters For Hogs
(Farm News }

You think Of the hog as being
covered with a two or three-inch
layer Of pure fat. You think of
that fat as being a poor conduc
tor of heat and cold, letting little
body heat escape and letting
little of the cold of the weather
get at the real hog.
If you will stop to think you
remember that hogs are a hot
weather animal. AL summer
they spend much time in the sun,
and in winter they pile up so as
to keep warm. They came from
the house or pen steaming in the
cold air Of winter. They shiver
with the sudden chill. Somehow
that fat does not act as a non con
ductor. The hogs sweat in the
dead Of winter as they pile up IN
a cold place.
1t would therefore seem proba
BILE that it would require more
feed to keep hogs out in the cold
than it would in a warm place.
Experiments have shown that
a saving of about 25 per cent In
the feed bill is made when hogs
are sheltered 80 they are comfort.

1t is better for the hogs to be
warm all the time. They move
about more and take needed ex.

it is likely the United States will be selected as the country in which the board of arbitration will meet.
 At the first intimation of outside in terference in Guatemalan affairs the state department sent the Marblehead from Panama to prevent meddling, and Mexico and the United States both. made it clear that they would look with disfavor upon any combination of Central American powers to overthrow President Cabrera of Guatemala.
 When the position of the United States became clear. Salvador an nounced the appointment of J. R. Pacus as special envoy to present the Salvadorean position to the American authorities and to prevent any serious international complication.
 Guatemala has complained bitterly to the United States of the conduct of Salvador, and charges that the latter government has taken every means to forward the cause of the revolutionary General Barillas and to hasten the downfall of President Cabrera.

St. Petersburg, July 5.--The council of the empire spent the day discussing rules of order. The relative strength of the reactionary and liberal wings was shown on the vote to deprive members of the right to present popu- lar petitions, which proposition was rejected after a warm debate.
 The treatment of the bill for the ab- rogation of the death penalty was the subject of general discussion in the Hobbies of the council. The general inn precision is that the bill will require some notifications, the exact nature of which will be discussed at a caucus of the constitutional democrats tomorrow. There is much sentiment for a meas ure limiting the rights of governors general to order persons to be tried hy court martial allowing this to be done only in the time of actual armed up- risings This would tend to effect the same object. as the civil code provides the death penalty and only in cases of attempts on the life of the emperor or a violation of quarantine regulations.

The Most Immediate Unsettled Question in
 the IhdW Case
Mrs. Thaw Now Admits That the French Marriage Was Not a Fact--The Defense Securing the Country for Helpful Evidence.

New York July 5.--Conflicting stOr- ies as to the existence or non-exist- ence of the affidavit made by Evelyn Nesbit in a breach of promise shit which it is alleged she took steps to bring against Harry K. Thaw prior to her trip to Europe and her marriage to him later, were told today by per sons interested in the investigation of the Thaw-White murder.
 Early in the day Assistant District Attorney Garvan was quoted as saying that there was no truth in the story that he expected to come into posses sion of the alleged affidavit, and, fur ther, that he had no reason to believe such a paper existed.
 Counsel for Harry Thaw and Mrs. Thaw herself added their denials to the report that there had ever been such an affidavit made or contemplated. The reports were said to be circulated by some enemy of Thaw and were wholly untrue.
 Later in the day a private detective who had been engaged by Stanford White to shadow Harry Thaw. in the interest of Miss Nesbit, was examined by MT Garvan, and he said he had submitted his report to Howe & Hum mel and Delaney Nicon. attorneys. Following this came a statement, at tributed to the district attorneys of flee, that it was known that the Nesbit girl had visited the office of Howe & Hummel; that she did have a consulta- tion with MT. Hummel, and it is all lleged that the affidavit in question was the result of that interview, the case being MT. HummePs personal matter
