HOPE MERCY FOR HAU
GRAND DUKE OF BADEN MAY
COMMUTE HIS SENTENCE.

BERLIN, July 24.-It Is known that the
Grand Duke of Baden is strongly opposed
to the death penalty, consequently, 1t Is be-
lieved that he will commute the death SEN
tence imposed by the court at Karlsruhe
upon Karl Hau for the murder of his wife's
mother to Imprisonment for life particu-
larly as he has taken similar action In a
large number Of previous cases.
Prof Aschaffenburg, distinguished psy-
chologist, sat in the courtroom and listened
closely to the testimony for four days of
the Hau trial. He wrote Herr Dietz, coun-
sci for Hau. before the conclusion of the
trial, that he was obliged to leave Kars-
ruhe, but he had not the least doubt that
Hau would be acquitted. I'm spite of the
fact that much remains in darkness" the
professor said, Il am convinced that Hau
did not commit this murder"

ARMED TRUCE AT ASHEVILLE
DEADLOCK BETWEEN THE STATE
AND FEERAL COURTS.
Talk Of Injunction Against Any One
Interfering With the Action of
Judge Pritchard.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., July pat noon to-
day it is conservative to say that the de-
velopments in the railroad controversy bear
more serious aspect than at any time
since the agitation began.
The peace proposal made at the instance
of Judge Pritchard to the state authorities
that the federal court will not Interfere
with the judgment of $4,000 which was
imposed on the Southern railway by Judge
Long, at Raleigh, if the state officials will
allow both the Asheville and Raleigh cases
to run their course to the Supreme Court
OF the United States, has not been accepted
by Gov Glenn. The governor has simply
taken notice of the proposal by asking If
this means that the new rate law will be
observed during the tendency OF the cases,
which would nullify Judge Pritchard's in
junction.
In the meanwhile District Attorney Hol-
ton has been sent for either at the instance
is here, or at the instance of Judge Pritch-
ard, and there is talk of indictments
against all persons who show a disposition
TO impede the progress OF the United
States court.
Glenn Is Considering.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
RALEIGH, N. c., July 24-Gov. Glenn
has called a special meeting of the council
Of state for 3 o'clock this afternoon to
consider the proposition made to him by
United States authorities, Assistant At
torney General Sanford at Asheville, and
conveyed to Gov. Glenn through State
Solicitor Mark Brown today in the railway
rate law mix-up between state and federal
courts.
The proposition does not include the
putting into effect at once the new two
and-one-quarter-cent rate law, as errone-
ously reported. The action to be taken
this afternoon by the council Of state is
regarded here as of the most important
character 1t will be late before a decision
is reached

influence Of forinalin on disease germs
and on digestion. when administered
in small amounts in milk. DIR. Klein
treated twelve milk fed calves affected
with scours by adding formaln to the
milk in the proportion of one part to
1000 parts Of milk This dilution may
be readily obtained by pouring five
tenths of an ounce of formalin into fif-
teen and fiye-tenths ounces Of water.
From this stock solution one teaspoon
full is added to each pint or pound Of
milk to be fed to the affected calf.
From the experiments 1t appeared
that the results are practically the
same whether the formalin solution is
placed in the milk just before feeding
the calf or Immediately after the skim
milk is received from the separator.
Apparently, however. it was advisable
to add the formaIn to the milk imme-
diately after separation.
OF the twelve calves treated in this
way eleven recovered without any
further treatment-seven of them OH
the second day, three on the third day
and one on the ninth day. If further
tests show that formalin causes no ill.,
jury to calves, this method may furnish
an effective means Of controlling
scourS.

They Thrive on All Kinds Of Soil Ex-
cept Wet Land.
The Angora goat industry has devel-
oped remarkably during the last five
years, and it is estimated that there
are now in this country about 100000
Angoras, distributed in all the states
and territories. The largest fiocks are
in Texas and New Mexico, but the
northwest has also successful flocks,
and no part Of the country is untitled
for them. Angoras endure extremes
of heat and cold and thrive on ali
kinds Of soil except wet land They
prefer rocky land covered with brush.
BY nature they are climbers and
browsers. The densely covered rough
lands of the south, the wornout farms
of New England and the ''stumpage"
districts of Michigan and Wisconsin
are especially adapted to them. Their
habit of browsing makes them valua-
BILE for clearing land of brush. Their
chief value, however, lies in their long,
silky fleece, which is known as mo-
hair

facture of plush, imitation ;lstrakhan

MODERN TURPENTlNINa.
With a View to the Preservation Of
Southern Pine Forests

Southern Pine Forests.
The national forest service has for
some time been experimenting with Il
view to reducing the wounds made i'll
trees in the process of harvesting the
turpentine crop. The common practice
in chipping the trees is still to cut the
trunks SO deeply to form the face"
from which the resin exudes. and to
cut SO many faces on each tree that
sarily and waste results. After Il
study of this practice it was found by
experiment that the resin ducts within
a quarter of an inch of the surface OF
the wood are larger. more numerous
and more free flowing than those iy-
ing deeper. Two questions then sug-
gested themselves-tirst, whether shall
lower chipping might not secure at
least an equal crop and at the same
time prolong the productive life of the
trees, and, second, whether more
profit would not be found in cropping
only the maturer trees.
Chipping the Trees.
TO answer the foregoing questions
experiments have been begun near
Jacksonville, Fla, on 4C,C0O trees. or
five crops of 5000 trees each, includ-
Ing all sizes from six inches in diame-
ter upward. 1t is too soon to attempt
d statement in exact figures of the re-
suits already secured. The field foE
this year points, however, to the fol-
lowing conclusions:
Reducing the size of the face by
one-half i'll height or depth will give
an equal first year yield ana a larger
total yield for the working period.
Reducing the size Of the face one
half in both height and depth Will ma
terially increase the annual yield ow-
ing to the lessened injury to the vital
ity of the tree.
Crops of the larger sized trees with
fewer and smaller faces will produce 4
considerably larger annual yield than
ordinary crops, in which large and
small trees are Clipped severely and
the larger trees have more faces.
The Life Of Trees Prolonged.
| Thus, in tie opinion of the fores
| service. the conservative method vii
| insure the best annual yield and th'
best total yield for the working period
| The most important gain. however. i
likely to be found in the longer periot
during which the trees can be cropped
/ 1t is believed that by croppin. til
larger trees only and reducing the siz
and number of faces the cropping cal
continue for eight or ten years, b.
/ which time the smaller trees will b
ready to take their place.

Destructive Spring Erosts.

:. One of the most serious drawbacks
to successful fruit culture in the south
and southwest Is the tendency of our
climate to late and destructive spring
frOsts. But for this the orcllarlist would
have comparatively smooth sailing.
AS 1t is, however, three YEARS out OF
five we may expect damaging frosts
or cold snaps to curtail or destroy the
fruit III bud or bloom. Generally it is
the earlier blooming sorts that are de-
stroyed, but sometimes the cold is SO
severe as to sweep the whole list OF
fruits. the hardest and latest to bloom
as well as the early and tender sorts.

trees will set and hold Il crop of fruit

cottonseed Meal For Cows.

The suitability of cottoGseed nsea! as
food for milk production is still ali
unsettled question in the minds Of
many COW keepers in South Carolina.
A charge commonly made against this
feed is that when fed in rather large
quantity it impairs the health Of the
animals.
In reviewing the literature relating
to the feeding of cottonseed meal to
dairy cows it appears, however. that
where this concentrate is fed i'll ra-
tional manner no i'll results follow its
feeding. The i'll effects noticeable from
the feeding of cottonseed meal appear
to be chiefly due to one or more of the
following causes: % Feeding the meal
in conjunction with unsuitable rough
age; o. feeding it in stale or musty
condition; 3) feeding it in excessive
quantity.
In the feeding of meal and hulls
where the latter form the exclusive
roughage the ration is unbalanced.
containing an excess of nitrogenous
matter This one sidedness, combined
with the woody, indigestiblc nature of
| the hulls, undoubtedly sooner or later
causes arrangements of the animals
system. AIusty or stale feeds of any
| kind are unsuitable for dairy cattle,
| and this seems especially true OF cot
| tonseed meal. Feeding the meal in
too large quantity is undoubtedly re
sponsible for some of the i'll effects at
1 tributed to it's use. Farmers generally
do not seem to appreciate the highly
concentrated character of the food
stuff. 1t is easily the richest cattle
feed upon the market. = Experiment
