Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 27.-With Thaw, the
murderer of Stanford White, in the Tonbs.
@ long array of lawyers who have the back
ing of s40,0o0.0OO, which the family can
command, have started to make strong
fight for their client. The opening struggle
will be before the board OF sanity commits
sioners appointed by the supreme court,
and 1t is said that they will produce wit
nesses from Paris, London. Pittsburg and
New York to show that young Thaw was
not responsible for his act.
1t is believed that the full story of Mrs.
Thaw will bring out many things behind
the tragedy. The remark she made to her
husband when she kissed him on the roof
garden after he killed White is considered
as significant. Then she said to him. IT
did not think you would do 1t In this
way"
From this some are led to believe that
Thaw had threatened in the presence of his
wife to shoot the man who was formerly
her friend
After his large two days accomplishment
tn that direction Harry Thaw made no
further effort last night to furnish news
for the town. Eating. sleeping. exercising
and reading the papers. like any other pris-
oHei, HhaNt up MS program.
The prisoner occupies cell %, which is at
the end of row, next to the corridor.
Deputy Keeper John Hanley said this
morning: II didn't notice anything peculiar
about Thaw. He appeared to have passed
a quiet night, speaking to nobody and ask
Ing for nothing. Nobody came to see him.
When the other prisoners were allowed
TO walk in the corridor he went out with
the rest. He walked up and down. part of
the time with his hands behind him. He
does not talk with me or with anybody
else. He will have coffee and rolls for
breakfast: that's all he wants now"
He told his keeper that he woke once In
the night at 1 o'clock but he soon went to
sleep again.
II expect my lawyer TO visit me today.
and l think my wife will come. too" he
said.
II don't want TO see anybody else" he
added, no newspaper men"
1t was said at the distric aattorney's Of
fee this morning that Thaw would un-

talked over the case for nearly an hour with
view to selecting a corps OF experts on
insanity to examine Thaw. At the close OF
the conferences neither the lawyer nor the
physician would say who had been selected
and when Thaw would be examined by DR..
Hamilton and his colleagues. But the con-
ference today definitely settled the technical
line OF Thaw's defense.

HANDLING BARNARD MANURE
TO PREVENT LOSS

Agriculture

ton of urine, and so increase the
amount of nitrogen increase the secre1
the liquid and keep the animal clean.
A safe general rule is that the litter
should amount to at least one-third of
the dry matter of the food consumed.
The following amounts per day for diff
ferent animals are recommended:
Sheep, three-fifths pound of litter;
cattle, nine pounds, and horses, 61s
pounds.
A small amount of gypsum Gland
plaster) sprinkled on the moist dung
or urine is commonly used as a means
of fixing the ammonia. Kainit and
acid phosphate (superphosphate) have
also been recommended as preserve
tives of manure, but recent expeN
ments indicate that none of these sub
stances is of much value for
preventing loss of nitrogen, which is
the main object of the use of preserv-
atives.
In fact, the investigators who have
given the most attention to the sub
ject of the preservation of manure are
generally disposed to attach much
more Importance to the proper use of
absorbents and to keeping the ma
nure heap compact and uniformly
moist than to the use of personalities.
If kainit and acid phosphate are used
they will Increase the value Of the ma
nure by adding potash and phosphoric
acid.
In cases where different kinds of ami
| mails are kept, one of the most effec-
tive means of securing moderate and
uniform fermentation of the manure
J heap, is to see that the moist, cold
COW and pig manure is intimately
mixed with the dry, hot horse and
sheep dung The former makes the
heap more moist and checks the too
rapid fermentation.
1t thus appears that in order to re-
duce the loss to minimum, manure
heaps should be made compact and
! kept uniformly moist. Under cover
the last result in securing by collecting
the liquid manure and at frequent in
tervals sprinkling it oyer the heap, OF
when the supply of this is deficient, by
sprinkling with water.
Where the manure heap is exposed
to the rain in pits from which there is
no drainage, it probably does not re
quire so much attention, but still care
must be taken TO prevent loss by al
ternate teaching when heavy rainfalls
occur and drying out in time OF
drought.

millions of acres may be added to the
agricultural areas of the country. In
1899 there was 1859 ,644 acres furnished
with waters from wells. This fact in
dicates that the use of well water for
irrigation purposes is already of vast
Importance and that its influence on
the future of agriculture is likely to
be far reaching. The solution of the
many problems connected with irri-
cation in New Mexico has only been
well begun. Enough, however, has
been accomplished TO indicate that it
will prove most fertile field for re-
search,-one that, because of it's bear
ing upon the economics of agriculture,
is destined to prove of most vital in
terest to the irrigator.
There are a number of conditions
which are essential to successful
pumping for irrigation. If all the con-
ditions are favorable the cost of
pumping will be small, but wherever
difficulties are met, the cost of install
lation and the cost of pumping may
be expected to increase in proportion
to the seriousness of the obstacles
The following includes few of
the more important essentials for sue
cess in pumping:
1. Abundance of good water, near
the surface of the ground and located
in strata of such character that large
quantities can be quickly withdrawn
2. Good soil and good climatic con-
ditionS.

Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be disease of the blood.
It is necessary, therefore, to treat it
through the blood If permanent cure
is expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is i'll the blood
the pain will return, perhaps in new
place, but it will surely return. DIR. Will
lams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be-
cause they go directly to the seat of the
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.
Mrs. Henry Gotta, of West Cheshire,
Conn.,, is the wife Of the village ma
chinist. Several years ago." she says,
ST was laid up with rheumatism in my
feet, ankles and knees. I was in con-
slant pain and sometimes the affected
parts would swell so badly that could
not get about at all to attend to my
household duties. There was one period
of three weeks during which was con-
fined to the bed. My sufferings were
awful and the doctors medicine did not
help me.

DIR. Williams Pink Pills and decided to
try them. After had taken them a
short time I was decidedly better and a
few more boxes cured me. What is
better. the cure was permanent"

Why Good Bacon Is Popular

Prof. Snyder. of the Minnesota sta
ton, tells us. in the following, why
bacon has become so popular. In a
reference to tests made he says it was
cut in thin slices and baked or broiled
in the oven until crisp and brown. All
the fat which was cooked out was
saved and eaten with the bread and
other foods which made up the daily
fare. On an average about 80 per
cent. of the protein and So per cent.
of the fat of the ration containing
bacon were digested, and about SO per
cent. of the energy was available. Cal
culated values for bacon alone showed
more than 80 per cent. protein and 96
yer cent. digestible fat, figures which
Compare favorably with those which
have been obtained for other animal
foods.

pound Of bacon viii contain from OIL

tiles as to what and how much of
each crop to- plant under the usual
methods of irrigation, SO must he be
guided by these factors when the addi-
'tional expense of pumping water for
irrigation is incurred Expensive
water makes judicious selection of
crops imperative.
4. The personal factor is by far
the most important.
One man would succeed while an
other would fail under identical con-
ditions.
There are four principal conditions
under which pumping for irrigation
may prove desirable:
1. Where surface streams are lack
ing from which to irrigate In the
absence of such streams. if other
conditions are favorable, irrigation by
pumping may be undertaken with the
full expectation of making it a sue
cess.
g Where the surface streams have
eroded their channels so deeply below
the level of the surrounding country
that the expense of taking out bitches
through which to lead the water by
gravity upon the lands would be too
expensive either in construction or
in maintenance or both.
s. Where the streams that are util-
ized Cor irrigation by gravity systems

from two sources. The Gallup coal

1t is a well-known fact that certain
of the organisms which cause decompo-
sition of manure are avoided with the
dung and commence their activity at
once. In case of horses and sheep
these organisms cause considerable
loss of ammonia in comparatively
short time. 1t is necessary, therefore,
to adopt prompt measures in order to
reduce loss from this source to mini
mum.
The means which are available for
this purpose are the use of absorbents
Qitter) and preservatives. The litter
takes up the liquid manure, thus pre-.
serving it to some extent from decom-
position, and also absorbs to consid-
cradle extent the ammonia produced
by fermentation and prevents it's es-
cape into the air.
