MCCORMICK DECLINES
TO SERVE AS TRUSTEE
Notifies Governor Cutler That
He Cannot See His Way
Clear to Act.

The extraordinary acts of Governor
Cutler with respect to the Agricultural
College. his evident determination 10
disregard The Constitution and to
harass that institution AS much as pos
sble, regardless of law and right,
have been the subject of much unfa-
yorable comment.
Two years ago he made his appoint
ments as far as possible with the evi.
dent purpose of displacing the control
OF the College. His effort was not
successful at that time, the casting
vote of President Mccormick of the
Board Of Trustees being effective in
continuing the management without
break. But IL was the common talk
then that two years hence the Gov
ernor will get him, meaning President
Kerr of the college And it certainly
looked that way when the Governor
handed in his new nominations for
trustees.
At once there WAS a casting up of
figures, n count of noses for and against
President Kerr 1t was generally con.
coded that the purpose of two years

latter ask for an increase from So to
So 30 per day for s hours work These
men belong to the Worklngmen's union,
the strongest in the camp, next TO the
miners Their demands have been
granted By the telephone companies, by
the waterworks, the lumber and by
minor companies. but the city, the gas
company and the street railway com
pauy will not pay their demands. The
membership Is mainly composed of com
mon laborcrs.
The Associated Press is authorized
officially to deny that the Original and
other mines belonging TO former Sen
ator Clark must close because of the
shut down of the street car service.
These mines haul their ore over the car
tracks, but arrangements will be made
by which they may continue, and thus
far the mining industry is not in the
least affected by the situation.

SAN FRANCISCO STORY

able Speculation and Com
ment i'm Local Circles.

Senator W. A. Clark of Montana and
his associates are out of the San Pedro,
Salt Lake & Los Angeles road and E.
II. Hartman is the owner of their
stock. The story given out in finan-
cial circles yesterday says that Harri-
man has purchased the shares in the
Salt Lake route held by Senator w. A
Clark, r. C. kerens, David Keith and
Thomas Kearns. The quartette of mil
lionaires retain possession of $35 5,00e,-
goo of the road 8 bonds, of which
Clark holds $30,000,000, Kerens $4,000
600. Keith S1,000,000, and Kearns ST.
000,000
While little credence was given to the
story here it naturally gave rise to
much comment and speculation No
statement could be obtained from any
OF the local gentlemen who are inter
estcd financially in the road, as both
Senator Kcarns and Mr.. Keith arc alb
sent from the city. No authoritative
statement could be obtained from Los
Angeles. as none Of the high officials
are In the city, but a general denial
was made of the truth of the report.

Salt Lake Route, when seen said he
knew nothing about 1T, and remarked; :;

The Right Kind Of Cows.

Many breeders of dairy cattle have
not fully grasped the height and the
depth and breadth of their profession.
There are too many who think 1t is
simply the reproduction of pedigreed
live stock. 1t is more than that 1t
is the bringing together in one animal
of the capable milk producer and the
mother annually of a strong, vigorous
calf Mr.. Scribner, very successful
breeder, says: I'm my estimation,
profitable COW is one that can produce
year after year a maximum yield or
butter at a cost that represents good
profit to the owner. She must also
produce one healthy calf each year.
This ought to be one of the requisites
of the sire which is to head the herd.
See to it that he is from a productive
strain of regular breeders. He will
intensity his weak points, as well as
reproduce his good qualities in breed
ing. He ought to be as nearly perfect
in dairy conformation and dairy make
up as possible With all the care we
may exercise in the mating of our ami
mails, some faulty ones are sure to
develop. We must figure on that. If
we have looked well to this end, to see
that the sire is right and that the
dams we are to use for foundation are
right, we have gone long way toward
developing the profitable cow."-Blood-
ed Stock.

With rapid stripping of the great
forest areas of the north and west to
supply the enormous lumber trade Of
the country and a somewhat slower
vet just as sure consumption of the
hard wood and coal supplies of the
central and western States for use as
fuel. attention is now being directed
to the vast yet untouched deposits of
peat to be found in the north central
States. According to the State Geolog
zeal Survey. northern Iowa and south
ern Minnesota alone contain in tLs
nefghborhood of 100000 tons of peat.
much Of it. due to drier seasons and
drainage systems being In a partially
dry condition. The deposit OF peat
which is nothing but the accumulation
of the decayed vegetable matter CT gen
erations past, covers hundreds of acres
and varies from four to ten feet in
thickness. Plans are already on foot
for the establishment of plants which
will press and dry the peat and put 1t
on the market. Those who have tested
the fuel qualities of peat state that it
is superior TO the best hard wood and
is surpassed by coal only in the respect
that it contains somewhat more carbon
Peat is far superior to coal In that IL
contains no sulphur, makes little
smoke and no SCOT or clinkers. 1t
makes a fine white ash, giving a fire
that is very hot or mild, as occasion
requires. Provided it can be put In
convenient shape and placed on the
market at a reasonable price. which
seems entirely likely, the demand for
this new fuel is bound to be enor.

The Onion Patch.

Experience with onion raising cover
ing several years leads to the belief
that the most economical MS we'll as
the most satisfactory preparation OF
land for the crop consists in summer
following of the piece of land to be
used the season before one wishes to
raise the onion crop. This should con-
sist of successive plowings and disk
ing, which will result in bringing TO the
surface terminating and killing just
as much of the weed seed in the soil
as possible. The decrease in the cost
of wedding coupled with the satisfac-
ton of having the,crop in clean con-
dition will pay for the rental of the
land three times over. A fine clover
meadow which was remarkably free
from weeds last season and the second
crop on which was plowed under last
September now shows no end of pigeon
grass, which must have lain dormant
through last year, the presence OF
which will very largely increase the
cost of wedding. If the piece of land
selected for the onion patch is not
known to be reasonably free from
weed seeds the plan of summer fallow-
ing will be found by far tue most sat
isfactory.

HOG HnuSeS.

According to the observations of w.
Dietrich, of the Illinois Experiment
Station, the following suggestions as
to the location and construction of hog
houses are given:
"A hog house should be located so
that it is we'll drained, well lighted, and
gives access to pasture good shade,
pure running water and clean mud
wallows.
The two principal kinds of hog
houses are the individual houses and
the large houses with Individual pens.
Each has its points Of advantage.
"For sanitation the building should
be constructed so that 1t is dry, ven
tilated, free from dust and drafts and
so that the direct rays of the sun fall
upon the floor of the pens at the
time the winter crop of pigs Is far
rowed These rays should also be ex-
cluded during the summer.
THE building should be made serv-
iceable by being built so that 1t can
be used every day in the year, and be
arranged so that the largest amount
of work may be performed with the
smallest amount of labor.
"For large houses gates and parti-
tons made of wire are best, because
they do not obstruct the light and heat
rays from the sun, do not hide the pigs
from view of the attendant, nor from
each other and do not furnish lodg-
ment for disease germs
"The large hog house is operated so
that two filters per year are narrowed
and grown for market, and so that
the pigs are put on the market at the
most favorable season"
