ATLANTIC BATTLEsHIP FLEET
WILL GO TO PACIFIC COAST
HAS BEEN PLANNED.
The Report Circulated That Metcalf
Would Resign Is Discredited by
Secretary Loeb Japanese Have
Made No Protest.

Oyster Bay, August 2. Secretary
Loeb said yesterday that there had
been no change insthe plans to send
the Atlantic battlesdip feet to the
Pacific ocean and that preparations
for the trip were now being made.
Mr.. Loeb made this statement in
cidentally in saying that there was
no foundation for the report that
Secretary Metcalf had been or would
be asked to resign from the cabinet
because of his announcement that the
fleet would be in San Francisco har-
Dor in the near future Mr.. Loeb said
there was no reason for criticising
Secretary Metcalf on account Of his
announcement. Secretary Loeb's S
statement that the fleet will go to
the Pacific is regarded here as signifi-
cent, as being the first definite an
nouncement to that effect made at
Oyster Bay.
No protest has been received from
the japanese government against the
plan to send the Atlantic battleship
feet to the Pacific, and none is ex-
pected. It is pointed out here that
no basis exists for protest or com
plant, as the feet Is to remain in
American waters. 5S

Oklahoma last night made the fol-
lowing nominations:
Governor Frank Frantz.
Lieutenant Governor j. Turk.
Secretary Of State !. M. Robinett.
Attorney General IS r. Reid.

Frantz is the present governor of
Oklahoma territory. He was a
Rough Rider captain at San Juan
Hill and is an Intimate friend Of
President Roosevelt. 5f
Frantz dominated the convention,
and his nomination BY acclamstion
was accompanied by a remarkable
demonstration Of enthusiasm.
lii the afternoon the following
telegram was received from President
Roosevelt, to whom, earlier in the
day, a message assursng him Of the
Endorsement OF the convention, was
sent:
SO have Especial feeling for Okla

sure them Of my support to any thing
that Will fiirther their interests NJ
The making Of the platform occll-
pied the committee on resolut tions al
the afternoon, and the platform was
not finished until late last night. The
principal difdcuIty In wording the
platform is the desire to frame the
declaration Of the constitution that
will absolye republicans as far as
possible from any admission that the
constitution is q desirable document.
It is expected that the platform will
declare for prohibition BY advocating
local option.

Three Victims for This Vicinity in
Two Weeks, and All Bear Evidence
Of Having Been Killed in a Similar
Manner Extreme Brutality in AL
Three Cases.

New York, August q ssThe grave
yard" as the foreign populated
5neighborhood on First avenue, be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets, is known, yesterday gave up
a fresh crime, rivaling in atrocity
the mysterious Hurchakist butcher
les of last week. The latest discoy-
cred victim was an 8-year-oldgi
and. like the two young women MUIR
dered, she had been shockingly mis-
treated before death and the body
had been mutilated when life was ex-
tinct. The three murders are strik-
ingly similar.
Last Thursday night "a woman was
stransied in a Twenty-second street
boarding house. The next morning
the body of an unidentified woman
who had been cnoked to death was
found in an areaWay in East Eighth
eth street. Katie Pritschler, the
daughter Of restaurant waiter, dis
appeared week ago and was killed.
a ribbon placed about her throat and
Idrawn SO tightly that 1t cut the flesh
showed how she died. Her body was
found yesterday. II the brutality Of
the murders can be qualified, that of
the Pritschler girl ranks first, She
was assaulted, murdered and then
her 1ifeless form was horribly mutt
lated. sss
The girl left her home at 334s East
Thirteenth street last Thursday
night to play in the street.
The body was discovered within a
block Of her home and scarcely a
hundred yards from the location Of a
placard placed by her father calling
attention to the fact that his child
vas lost. How the body could have
remained undiscovered for a week is
not explained.
At the coroner's direction, Gaetano
iRippolano, whose cobbler shop adj
joins the girls home, was arrested
and asked to explain his absence
from his shop on last Friday. He
established the fact that he had
spent the fact at Bristol, Conn. The
girl is said to have frequented Rip
polano's place, and a search Of the
shop brought to light a mans shirt,
which bore red stains. The cobbler
was arraigned and remanded to, the
coroner. sssis
When the news Of the finding Of
the little ones body spread through
the neighborhood. excitement rose to
such a pitch that the removal OF the
body and the arrest Of Rippolano
caused almost a riot. Many thou-
sands OF persons we're in the nearby
streets when the wagon from the
morgue arrived. at sight Of the
covered body the crowd vented its
grief and rage m a Babel Of tongues.
Rippolano's shop windows were
smashed, and only the determined
efforts Of the police reserves, who
dubbed right and left prevented
greater damage.

For Forty-eight Square Miles There
Is Not a Spear Of Grain Left Stand
ing, Say the Farmers Storm the
Worst in the History Of Brown
County, It Is Believed In Many
Places Windows Were Broken by
the Stones Section Where Yester-
day Crops Gave Promise of Rich
Harvest, Now Despoiled.
For Forty-eight Square Miles There

One hundred and sixty square
miles of growing crops in the south
ern part of Brown and the northern
part of Sphinx counties were devastat-
ed by the most terrific and disastrous
haiistorm that ever swept over the
section of the state, at about $3.50
o'clock last night. It is impossible
now to estimate the exteIt of the loss
but it will mount up into thousands
of dollars. The total storm area, as
near as could be learned, from work
ing the rural telephones the greater
portion Of the night, commenced at
Rudolph and extends across Ole
Swanson's farm, three miles north OF
Warner, and east through Gem town
ship to the Jim river, south from a
point near the P. G. Erickson farm in
Gem township on straight line
through Rondell township and into
Sphinx county to a point three miles
east and one mile north Of Mellette,
then west four miles from Mellette,
and then straight north to point a
few miles north of Rudolph, the town
of Mansfield being on the west edge
of the storm.

Damage Complete.

q ! It = y . ~ :
Though the storm included nearly
every farm within that extensive
area, the damage in some parts was
only partial. The worst part Of the
storm where the damage was COM
plete was In the northwestern 48
square miles. The boundaries Of this
storm center commence on the north
one mile north and three miles west
OF Warner and continue straight east
for six miles. The eastern boundary
is the straight line running south
from w. a. VOTERS place in Gem
township south through Rondell to
the county line. The southern boun-
dary is close to the county line and
the west limit is ON a line running
directly through Mansfield to the Ly-
ons farms near Rudolph. 8 esa
g In this 48 square miles every farm
er who could be reached last night
reported his damage was total.
Among the farms from which reports
were obtained were that Of VI. w.

Meat rs Chick Food.

In recent report of experiments in
feeding chicks. the Rhode Island Ex-
pertinent Station says:
The use of the proper proportion Of
animal food will pay handsome profit
through decreased mortality and in
creased weight of the chicks. In feed
ing, bear in mind that chicks in a
state of nature spend practically all Of
their working hours in search of food,
and that they do not fill their crops in
ten minutes every two hours, Feed
ing should be, as far as the time of
the attendant renders profitable, con-
tinuous process, but by no means Il
continuous gorge
The experiment which led up to this
conclusion was with an incubator
hatch Of 219 chicks. These were sep
arated into lots of about fifty each
and placed in similar brooders For
thirty days all conditions were kept
alike except rations. Pen A was fed a
balance ration of grains, meats and
green food. The chicks grew and
thrived, and not one chick showed
symptoms of digestive disorder. The
deaths amounted to SO per cent In
Pen B all animal food was withheld :;
the deaths were 90 per cent, Of which
rs per cent had bowel trouble. Pen G
was fed on grain alone, all animal
food and all green food being omitted
from the ration; the deaths were 1927
per cent, of which 96.5 per cent show
eel digestive trouble. In Pen D all
grain food was omitted; the deaths of
chicks were 63.7 per cent, of which
S5.S per cent showed bowel trouble.
All the living chicks were weighed at
the close Of the test, and Pen A showed
the greatest average weights for all
breeds

Care of Turkeys.

At the Manitoba Station an expert
ment was made as to the gains by tur-
keys confined in pens, as compared
with those that ran at large Those
in pens were given all they would eat
clean of a mixture Of wheat, oats and
barley, 2:1 i. In the morning the grain
was fed the turkeys which were not
but in the evening 1t was fed whole.
1t was noted that the turkeys were ap-
parently more fond Of oats than Of the
other grains, so toward the end of the
fatteuing period the proportion of this
grain was increased. 4 little grain
was fed the turkeys which were not
confined in addition to the food which
they could gather. The five turkeys in
pens weighed on an average, 6.55
pounds each at the beginning of the
test. During the forty-two days of the
feeding period the average gain was
400 pounds, 6 pounds of grain being
eaten per pound Of gain. The turkeys
running at large also weighed at the
beginning of the test $50 pounds each,
and made an average gain of 1.S5
pounds. On both cases the greatest
gains were made during the first three
weeks of the period. 1t is stated that
the penned turkeys when dressed
shrank per cent less than those run
ming at large and that they were plump
er and were in every way more inviting
in appearance.

New Variety of Red Glover.

A recent Government bulletin gives
accounts of new kinds of clover obtain
ed from Russia The variety that has
been most promising is that called
Orel. One great advantage of this type
is that it is hairless. Every reader,
who has examined either red or NAM
moth clover must have noticed the
abundance of hairs, so-called, on the
stem, and the midrib and skeleton of
the leaf. 1t is this hair or fuzz that
renders red and mammoth clover so
exceedingly dusty, and we suspect il is
this that causes it to turn black and
spoil so readily in bad weather. The
hair furnishes the very best opport11-
mites for accumulation of the, fungi
which are the cause of the heating of
clover hay. One of the merits of alsike
Is that it is smooth like the Orel clover.
In most places where it has been
tested this variety yields much better
than any of the native varieties, and
where it has failed it has been in COM
parison with varieties of similar orr
gin. 1t has much more leaf growth,
but is about two weeks later, coming
in along after the mammoth clover; so
much later, in fact, that it is not easy
to procure seed from the second crop,
except north of latitude 43. 1t is not
recommended as a substitute for the
common red or mammoth, but as sup
Elementary to either one, particularly

ent limit of clover growing

Any bath that produces no distinct
shock and leaves a sensation of vigor

be repeated as frequently as time and
opportunity will permit.
On the other hand, if one comes from
the bath weakened, chilled to the extent
that reaction is very slowly established,
or if the bath itself is a source of dread
instead of pleasure, we may know some
thing Is wrong. 1t may be the tempera-
ture of the bath, the hour of bathing,

or its mode of usage.

ton or another must be made till the

Soil MulchinG

The soil is protected by mulching,
not only because mulching assists in re-
tanning moisture by preventing evapo-
ration. but also because the covering
s11nplies moisture in dry seasons by
capillary attraction of the soil, which
gradually brings up moisture at time
when it is most needed. There are
many conflicting opinions and theories
regarding the effects Of mulchlng, al
though many Of the difficulties may be
traced to the materials used for the
purpose. In its consideration some Of
the leading horticulturists maintain
that dry earth is the proper material
of use, it being cheap and more easily
applied. If the material used be ma
nure, the labor Of spreading and re-
moving it is often greater than the
value of the crop. A coating two inch
es upon one acre amounts to about 300
loads. which may cost from S25 to $50
in labor alone, and this sum is still
further increased if the manure is
worked into the soil, while coarser ma
terial, such as straw, leaves and corn
stalks, must be applied and afterward
entirely removed in order to allow of
cultivation. It is claimed in favor Of
dry earth that it is an excellent nom
conductor and holds between its parti-
cles large volume Of air, which not
only prevents an attack Of frost to a
certain extent, but retards loss Of
moisture and heat. Every rain, how
ever, compacts the covering Of earth,
forces out the air and lessons the util-
ity Of the earth as a mulch. To avoid
this, the farmer must resort to fire.
uuent cultivation by stirring up the
soil. 1t Is due to its service as mulch
that dry earth is capable of mitigating
the effects of drought by being fire.
ouently loosened by cultivator, and
for a long time this fact, in connection
with cultivation, was not properly con-
sidered; but the value Of cultivation Is
due to the entrance Of air into the soil,
which Is not only Of itself a mulch,
but assists in Fastening chemical &C.
ton and the preparation of plant food,
while the constant working of the soil
destroys weeds that would deprive the
growing plants of food and moisture.

kernels, or the entire head. Thest
spores are very minute, and are easily
blown about, often adhering TO the
kernel before 1t is planted, and when
such kernels sprout the spores also
terminate and send delicate threads
into the young seedlings. These threads
follow the growth of the plant, fill the
head as soon as formed, and there de
velop a mass of spores instead of kerr
nels. This black mass Is so well known
as to be recognized by every farmer
who has grown grain, but many farm
ers may not be aware of the fact that
every ear of corn containing smut is
a menace to the grain crop of next
year. All such stalks should be cut
out and burned on the first sign Of
smut, and where oats, barley, wheat
or any small grain is affected seriously
it will sometimes pay to NOW the crop
and burn it.
