There are people who believe that
the advent Of the boil beevil will until

Those who take the position that
the breed Is In the feed" may learn
something from the experiment made
at the Illinois experiment station,
where two cows were given the same
treatment, both receiving the same
quantity of food and both given
an opportunity Of showing what
they could do, yet there was great
variation In the results, one cow large
ly excelling the other. Without proper
food and plentiful supply, no animal
can produce to her fullest capacity, but
1t is fact that the breed is an i'm
portant matter, and some COWS will
yield twice as much as others, no mat
ter how well fed both may be.

Green Food for Stock.

When the pastures begin to give out
there will be falling off of milk from
the cows. This is due to the fact that
the farmer does not supply the loss of
green food from the pasture. A plot
Of corn fodder, used as green food, be-
Ing given the COWS at night, will ma
terially assist In preventing the loss of
milk. A change Of food from green to
dry substances will nearly always
cause the falling of In milk, for which
reason the change from green to dry
food should be gradual and never sud
denly.

Poultry as q business,

Is there progress in poultry keeping?
Read the market reports. Look at the
amount Of poultry advertising done to-
day as compared with FIVE years ago.
How did the winter prices Of eggs in
the last five years Of the nineteenth
century compare with those of the first
five years Of this? Thousands OF peo-
pie are to-day making a comfortable
living and many have become indie
pendent by raising poultry and eggs for
the market. 1t has been proven by ex-
periments that It costs no more to pro
duce pound Of poultry than 1t does
to produce pound Of pork or beef, yet
poultry Is always worth more per
pound than any other meat and sells
just as readily.
In country schools botany should be
taught by devoting an hour or two
each week, in the growing seasons, to
excursions to the fields and woods,
plants being selected, described and
classified. By this mode Of teaching.
an Interest in botany will be created on
the part Of the children. A flower gar.
den In connection with the school
should also be an advantage.

STORMY WEATHER CUTS
DOWN BANK CLEARINGS
Showing for Week Ended Yesterday
as Compared With Year Ago
Not Bad, However

The heavy raipstorm which has been
prevalent over the Pacific Coast States
for the last ten days has affected the
business of San Francisco 10 such an
extent that for the second time since
the resumption of commercial business
after the fire there is q decrease in the
bank clearings as compared with the
same week of last year
For the week ended March 81 ac-
cording to the figures secured by the
California Promotion Committee. the
clearings of San Francisco show a total
of s43.350. 153.4S. against a total of s43.-
90S. .66S.24 for the same geek of 1906.
This decrease of about half million
dollars is accounted for by the fact
that the railroads have been Daralyzcd
and few trains have been running.
During the same week the banks of
Oakland show a total OF $3,SI9.II276
If this were added to the San Francisco
clearings. as they were last year, there
would be a substantial increase, as the
total for the two cities amounts To
$46, ,669. 1864. The banks of San Jose
cleared $4s7.7la.60 during the same
week.

Taken to the Detention Hospital at

companied by her husband, machinist,
Mrs Adele Betzinger of 1851 Tenth ave
nue., attempted suicide less than an
hour later by endeavoring to cut her

The matron. Mrs. Ellen SWEET, while
passing the cell where the woman was
confined observed her take a small
parcel from the bosom of her dress
and a moment later was startled to
see her abstract from IL pairing knife
the blade of which was nearly fve
inches long,
Hurriedly unlocking the door of the
cell the matron was just in time to stay
the womans hand from drawing the
keen blade across her throat. StruS-
Cling and wrestling back and forth
across the floor of the cell with the in
sane woman, and with her right hand
already badly cut and nearly eX-
hausted, Mrs. SWEET called frantically
for help.
1t, was only with the combined
strength of the steward and two of
the hospital attendants that the insane
woman was finally overcome and placed
in a straitjacket.
Mrs. Betzinger had previously been
confined for the same malady, having
been discharged from the Agnew Asy-
lum during February of last year. At
that time she was pronounced cured

REMOVAL Of THE HEIGHT
LIMIT SEEMS CERTAIN
Supervisors Favor Petition
of Big Commercial
Organizations

The Supervisors fire committee vir
tually agreed yesterday to recommend
that the ordinance limiting the height
of buildings to one and half times
the width of the street on which they
front be amended so that there shall
be no restriction as to the height of
class A structures.
The removal of the height limita-
tion had been petitioned for by the
Chamber of Commerce. San Francisco
Real Estate Board and other CONNER
cial organizations, besides a large
number of banks. capitalists and busi-
ness houses.
President Duffey of the Board of
Works spoke in favor of having no
limit on buildings in the wide streets.
but thought they should be restricted
to two and a half times the width
of the narrow streets. Chief Engineer
Shaughnessy of the Fire Department
was not opposed to high class A struc-
lures He said the present water sys-
tenn was able to cope with fires at any
story of buildings 275 feet in height,
which would be increased when the
auxiliary salt water system, for which
bonds are to be voted upon, was in
stalled
Reuben H. Lloyd. representing the
First National Bank, which will erect
twelve-story building at Montgom
cry and Post streets if the height
limit is removed; Seth Mann. attorney
for the San Francisco Chapter of
Architects; B. Cadwalader of the Real
Estate Board, and P. H. Mccarthy.
president of the Building Trades Coun-
Gil. urged the removal of the height
limit.
Supervisors Mamlock and McGushin
said they favored the elimination of
the restriction but decided to meet
with the representative architects next
Saturday morning, so that the amend
ment would specifically apply to
strictly class A structures. and be
acted upon at Mondays meeting of
the board
At a meeting held last night the
Building Trades Council passed a reso-
luton recommending to the Board of
Supervisors that the height limit on
class A buildings be removed entirely.
