Cnre of the Grindntone.

It Is very common on some farms to
keep the grindstone out Of doors, shell
tered usnly by the foliage of some trees
in summer, but in winter it is exposed
to all kinds of storms. These stones
are always more or less porous. If they
were not they would not make good
material to sharpen metal-cutting tools.
When a grindstone gets wet, and the
moisture in it freezes, pieces of the
stone chip of and the stone wears
away unevenly, thus soon becoming Of

Bacteria I'm Butter Wash WateF.
In a bulletin issued by the Kansas
State Agriculture College, @. w. Meliak,
assistant dairy husbandman, arrives 1t
the following conclusions regarding tho
effect Of bacteria in wash water fer
butter: 1t is both practical and ecu
nomical to sterillze wash water foe
butter If 1t can be cooled and used Inn
Otherwise, the practice IL
a useless expense. A filter for cream
cry water is only a source Of contam'-
nation and filth unless frequently cle9n-

though kept at 90 degrees Fahrenheit
may become filed with bacterial growth
If allowed to stand for a few hours In
wooden tank from day to day with
out thorough cleaning. Great care
should therefore be taken in the utlll-
zation of such water for cooling pIr-
poses. There is a direct relation be-
tween the bacterial content Of the
wash water used and the keeping quail
lty Of the butter. Water kept at low
tempera ture from 40 to so degrees Fahr-

Nitrogen Loss I'm Grain Lands.
The loss of nitrogen from four grain
farms in ten years amounted to from
three to five times more than was re-
moved by the crops, says Harry Snyder
in a report to the experiment station
of the University Of Minnesota. This
loss was due to the rapid decay Of the
humus and the liberation OF the nit>o-
gen, which forms an essential part OF
the humus. The losses of nitrogen from
these grain farms were practically tho
same as from the experimental plots at
the University Farm. The results OF
the tests on the small plots are in ac-
cord with the field tests III differert
parts of the State. Where clover was
grown, crops rotated, live stock kept.
and farm manure used, an equilibrium
as to the nitrogen content of the soiI
was maintained, the mineral plant food
was kept in the most available condi-
ton and maximum yields were secured.

Eighty Known Fatalities
and Scores Cannot
Recover
Naval Circles Are Aghast at the Ap-
paIIing Catastrophe at TouIon,
Commander Is among
the Victims
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
TOULON, March 1.-THE
powder magazine on board the
French battleship lena blew up at
l :35 this afternoon and as a re-
suit Capt. Adigard, commander of
the battleship; Capt. Vertier,
chief of staff of the Mediterran-
can squadron; and eighty blue
jackets are dead, while Rear Ad-
miral Manceron and hundreds of
men are suffering from injuries.
Naval circles are aghast and the
public is stunned by the appalling
catastrophe coming so soon after
the loss of the French submarine
boat Lutin, in which sixteen men
met death.
The entire after part of the lena
was blown to pieces. The bodies of
the victims were hurled through
the air by succession of explo-
sions, and panic-stricken work.
men at the arsenal fled for their
lives from the vicinity of the dry
dock. Scores on board the lena
jumped overheard to the stone
quays and sustained serious in
juries.
The primary cause of the ac-
cident was the explosion of tor
pedo.
What caused the explosion is
not known, but the powder maga-
zines of the lena were set on fire
and the resulting explosions prac-
tically destroyed what was con-
sidered one of the best vessels in
the French navy.
The lena had just undergone
final inspection of her hull and
machinery, the latter part having
been partly overhauled prepara-
tory to joining the squadron to-
morrow.
The crew was in full strength,
being composed of the rear adj
miral, twenty-four other officers
and $50 men.
The magazines had been re-
plenished recently and contained
many tons of powder as well as a
number of charges of torpedoes.
The crew had finished the mid
day meal only short time before
the explosion, and had dispersed
to various parts of the vessel.
Most of the men were engaged in
work connected with the ap-
preaching departure of the war

ALL WIRELESS
RECORDS BROKEN
San Diego Operator Reports conver-
sation with Cities 2400 Miles
Away-Condition Favor
able at the Time
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, March 12.-
Operator ]. A. Millison, in charge Of
the government wireless station on
Point Iona here, has broken the rec
ord for transmission and reception of
wireless messages on land through his
own invention in addition to the regu-
lar instruments installed by the gov
ernment. Through it he hears the
men in charge of Atlantic stations say
good morning to each other, while 1t
is yet two hours before midnight here.
The record was broken Sunday even
ing when at 1925 at night the operator
on Point Iona distinctly caught a
message from the battleship Rhode
Island on the Atlantic, one from WASH
ington, D. c., and several from Pensa-
cola. orders were heard going from
Washington to Pensacola and mes
sages from Rhode Island and Con-
necticut, both at sea, to the navy de-
partment at Washington, the Con-
necticut being 800 miles off the Allan
tic coast at the time.
Then Mr.. Millison decided to butt in
and did so, sending message first to
| Pensacola and receiving reply, and
later irving washington with the same
success, only that the messages were
very faint, though distinguishable
| At the Point Iona station the instru-
ments are particularly delicate and
soon after they were first installed be-
gan to reach out and take messages
which it was never supposed could
come to the ears of the local operator
| Several months ago Operator Milli-
son broke the Pacific coast record ant
rivaled the best record made in the
United States by talking with Tacoma
over 1000 miles up the coast.
| But even this sinks to commonplace
in comparison with the achievement oi
Sunday evening, which breaks with
ease the worlds record for long dis
tance wireless messages. Pensacola is
close to 1900 miles and the distance to
Washington is over 24OO miles.
81 think" said Millison, this morn
| ing, ''that this remarkable record was
due principally to unusually favorable
atmospheric conditions. In addition to
the apparatus furnished by the gov
ernment we have a small 'electrolytic'
of our own make which perhaps helped
to throw our waves and make them
more distinctly recorded on the east
ern shore"

The defendants were all on hand, hav-
ing been taken down from Boise this

nounced by the prosecution that the

be done until it arrived.
The defense held 1t did not act as
stay, but 1t was held by the court
all action should be deferred, and the
case went over until Monday.

OF the case on the ground that two
terms had gone by since these men
were arraigned will be argued; also
the motion for change OF venue to an
other court.
The remittitur is on the way and

A TIGHT PLACE
Head of the Salt Lake Police Depart

Court on Serious
Charge
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SALT LAKE, March 12.-Chief of
Police George Sheets, charged with Cun-
spiracy to defraud tourists passing
through Salt Lake City, was today held
by Judge Whitaker to answer to the
criminal division of the district court.
Chief Sheets was arrested about two
weeks ago, together with Detective
George Raleigh, both being charged
with accepting money from a band of
gamblers for protection. The prelim-
mary hearing before Police Judge
Whitaker occupied most of last week,
the judge finally taking the case under
advisement. w. II. Parent, who con-
fessed that he and his associates had
made a practice of enticing men into
card games and then swindling them,
was the chief witness against Sheets.
Parent declared that he and his asso-
ciates had paid to Chief Sheets $100 for
the privilege of operating their games
in Salt Lake City. The case that
brought matters to a crisis was the
complaint of Alexander and William
McWhirter, who charged that they had
been swindled out of nearly $4,000 in a

IS BOUND OVER
Boxmaker Accused of Killing Fresno
Policeman Held to the Supe-

Brutal One
By Associated Press.


FRESNO, March 12.-Shortly after
10:30 O'Clock this morning Ernest Sill
VerS, the boxmaker who was arrested
an hour after the murder of Policeman
Van Meter as a suspect, was held to
answer to the superior court of Fresno
county for having taken the life of the
brave officer.
Yesterday afternoon the surprise
came when District Attorney Denver S.
Church suddenly terminated his case
with the abrupt dismissal of a witness,
and Attorney Crichton, defending the
accused man, asked for a postponement
until today, with the evident intention
of putting on a defense. When The
prisoner was brought in this morning
he was accompanied by his attorney
and several witnesses for the defense,
among whom were the men who swore
to an alibi for Silvers at the corone.'s
inquest. The judge opened the case.
Il submit the case, your honor" said
Attorney Crichton.
II also submit the case" said the
district attorney.
The judge then read the document,
which means that Ernest Silvers must
remain a prisoner at the county Jail
until such time as the superior court
may either set him free or sentence
him for one of the most cold -blooded
crimes ever committed in California.
Silvers heard the verdict of the court
without emotion.

NO PROTEST IS
MADE BY JAPAN
So Far Government Officials Have Not
Received a Word of censure Con-
cerning California LeglsIa-
ture's Action
BY Associated Press,

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Japan
has made no protest to the state de-
partment against the action of the Cali
fornia Legislature, the upper body of
which passed a bill for separate orien-
tai schools and another to prevent land
owners from making long leases to Jap
anese, before President Roosevelt In
terfered through his protest to Gov
ernor Gillett.
The assurance from California Of
ficials that these measures unfavor-
able to the Japanese will not become
laws has not relieved the anxiety of
the administration entirely, as 1t is
feared that the effect of the California
senate's action on pending negotiations
between Japan and the United States
will be decidedly unfavorable.
The San Francisco school board has
not as yet rescinded it's order requir-
ing japanese pupils to attend separate
schools, and consequently Japan has
not been asked to formally consider
the terms Of treaty to settle the
points Of difference between the two
nations, the exchanges up to this time
having been entirely formal.
