ing the banquet $4,000 more was
pledged and then roll call was made
of ten captains. who had had their
teams of twelve men each at wO k,
and each pledged his team to raise
$500 more. One captain said he could

The race for funds that has been go
ing on has been unique In many re-
spects. Four weeks ago c. s. Ward,
Of the national headquarters, came
here and sent out his workers. The
entire campaign had been planned Tn
der his direction for weeks in adj
vance.
In the first place there was a citi
zens' committee, composed of many of
the best known men in the city. On
it served bankers, brokers, lawyers,
doctors and men in every professional
line. as we'll as many mechanics. This
committee worked day and night for
three weeks during the time allotted
for raising the fund.
In addition there were ten captains.
who had teams of dozen men each.
These teams were made up of young
''hustlers' from every walk of life.
Such ''hustling' never has been seen
here. Men on foot and men on horse
back took part Some used buggies
and others automobiles.

More Contradiction of Orchards
Story-NOn- Union Man Discredits
Crime in the indicator
D1ine Explosion.

Boise, Ida, June 29-The attorneys
for William D. Haywood continue to
center their efforts on the discredit
ing Of Harry Orchard and the estab-
lishment of their assertion that Or
chard killed Frank SteuneDberg in re
venge for the loss of his interest in the
Hercules mine. Yesterday they direct
ly attacked the indicator explosion
with the testimony of a witness that
made 1t appear accidental rather than
criminal. Thomas Wood, a non-uniOn
ist who entered the Vindicator mine
as a timberman after the strike be-
gan, swOle that the night before the
explosion he placed box containing
twenty-five pounds of giant powder at
the shaft of the eighth level.
Says That Beck Had a Revolver.
He saw the powder the next morn
ing shortly after 10 O'clock, and a few
minutes later Superintendent McCOr
mick and Foreman Beck came to the
eighth level They remained but a
short time, and left to go to the sixth
level, where they were killed. Wood
sWOre that when he reached the shaft
twenty minutes later the powder was
gone, and it was reasonable infer
ence that Mccormick and Beck took it
with them. Wood testified that he had
seen revolver in Beck's pocket, that
the fragments of only one revolver
were found in the sixth level, and that
the bodies of Mccormick and Beck
were blown apart, Indicating that the
explosion had occurred between them
Wood Could Find No Wire.
Orchard said that he fixed revolver
with a wire attachment so that when
the safety bar was raised it would
send a bullet in the giant powder he
had placed. One witness for the state
has sworn that he later found a wire
attached to the safety bar, but Wood
who says he was among the first to
reach the sixth level after the eXplO-
sion said that he carefully examined
the safety bar and found nothing at
tached to it. Wood gave his testimony
in clear and fOrceful manner. and
told thrilling story of the climb to
safety of the men cut off by the ex-
OlnSion below the sixth level

Washington, July !. - Reading be-

by the Japanese Chamber of Com

President Roosevelt and also to the
chambers of commerce in the United
States the officials in Washington see
clearly the implied threat of boycott
against United States goods entering

The boycott declared by Chinese
merchants against United States prod
ucts two years ago in resentment OF
the treatment accorded Chinese o the

the world was productive of bette"

erted all of its power to ame!iorate the

facilitate the entry of Chinese mer-
chants and students.
Therefore it is assumed that the
Japanese merchants have decided to
have recourse to the same me d Of
showing their resentment aga the
treatment accorded their people in San
Francisco. Unlike the Chinese mer

notice of their intention upon the Uri@-

WEED OUT THE ROBBERS
c. LARSON, Iowa College of Agriculture

There are more than a million cows in
Iowa and they are valued at thirty millions
of dollars. The average production of but
ter fat by each cow is only lao pounds per
pound would make the value for each cows
product Of fat only $28. Her skim milk
and calf would bring her earning capacity
As it is estimated that here in the Central
West 1t costs about $40 year to keep
COW 1t will be seen that on an average there
is very little profit In keeping any kind of
a cow that does not produce more than the
average Iowa COW now produces.
II has been proven that by proper breed
ing and selection the average COW be made
ter fat per year. In order to find out how
much a cow produces II Is necessary to
weigh her milk and take samples for fat
determination. =.
because the average can be ascertained by
occasional testing. The simplest method is
to test and weigh the milk from each COW
every thirteenth week, the first test to begin
the sixth week after calving and to last
week. The results to be obtained during the
week are to be representative of what the
COW would do six weeks previous and six
weeks subsequent to the week of the test.
In this way the Improbable cows may be
discovered and weeded out.
II COW does not produce 200 pounds of
butter fat every year she should be disposed
OF, because she cannot be kept at q profit.
Calves should not be raised from such cows.
because their calves will be poor producers.
Farmers in the great corn belt have not
as vet paid very much attention to this mat
ter because dairying has been only a sort OF
adjunct to general farming. But as land Is
becoming more valuable every year 1t means
that we must adopt methods of farming
which are more profitable. All these things
indicate that more intensive farming must
be practiced The most intensive farming Is
dairying. and IL the right kind of cows are
kept 1t is profitable.

II pigs begin to show az out-of-conditiou
appearance don't think of medicine the
first thing. See IL some mistake in feeding
or care cannot be discovered. and II it is.
correct it.
Cause the pigs to fear you not, especially
those intended for brood sows they should
be assured that their keeper is kind, con-
siderate friend. Even a hog appreciates
such friend.
The more feed the acre produces the lower
the cost of maturing the live stock, and
without necessarily decreasing the market
price of the stock. The prolific acre makes
its influence felt in many ways.
II pigs are getting succulent food, exer-
else, sleep in clean beds, have fresh pure
air to breathe, there is but little complaint
about disease. The nearer these conditions
can be duplicated in winter the less disease
there will be to complain of.
The two litters-a-year system hastens the
weaving of the filters, bringing that event
when the pigs are in the most critical stage
of their development. 1t requires little
experience, skill and previous preparation
to prevent prematurely weaned pigs from
getting a back-set that 1t may take, the

The spring pigs that were on red clover
