With the idle days tighten up on the
horses diet. During the months of
hard work the horse has had feed rich
in nitrogen (the base of protein) and
has needed il. for he was using it up
in the expansion and contraction of
muscles; but when idle. on account of
stormy weather or leisure. and fed his
working ration, too much nitrogen has
accumulated In the muscles. Therefore
a Woodworking horse that has been
well fed should, on being given Holt
day for several days, have his ration
changed. Corn is good substitute
for oats in such a case. If clover hay
has been fed. timothy hay should be
substituted.
A ten-year test by Prof Munson of
Maine shows that cultivated trees
made larger growth and produced
more fruit than trees that were
mulched. Another experiment was to
show the effect of commercial fer
tilizers and stable manure in COM
parison with each other and with no
fertilizer. The unfertilized trees
showed clearly that on this virgin pas
ture soil additional plant food is alb
solutely necessary. While the rot
ting turf sets free a considerable
amount of plant food when culture or
mulch is first given this material is
soon exhausted. and the trees assume
the yellow. stunted appearance which
is too familiar. There is an apparent
advantage in the use Of stable manure
in comparison with chemicals, because
of the humus. In many orchards this
humus can be more cheaply supplied
in the form of straw or cheap hay, or
on cultivated lands in the form of
green manures and cover crops. No
difference was observed in the efec;
of different forms of potash salts. The
best formula calls for about three per
cent. potash. six per cent. phcsphor;c
acid and ten per cent potash. with
an annual application of ten pounds
per tree.

HARRISBURG. Pa, March 27.-Railroad
Are in a quandary about the fed
eral sixteen-hour law and have appealed
to the State Railroad commission. The
state commission has no power in the
matter. but has taken up the question
with the Interstate Commerce commission.
A delegation of freight trainmen en-
ployed by the Philadelphia & Reading
company laid their case before the commits
sion. They believed the law provides
that no crew shall be kept at work more
than sixteen hours continuously, and that
after such work each member shall have
at least eight hours rest. They say 1t is
difficult to observe such a rule on the
railroad.
At recent wreck at Rossmoyne, on the
Reading railway, the wrecklng crew was
at work eighteen hours: It was impossible
to relieve the men. The train men say
further that often the sixteen-hour limit
expires when they are only few miles
from a terminal point. They want to know
whether It is their duty to stop work and
tie up traffic under such circumstances
or take the train to the end of the run.

MANY SHORTAGES ARE FOUND
Employees of PIttsburE Bank ard
Prominent Men May BE
Implicated.

PTTTsBURG. March IA third charge
against Henry Reber, paying teller, and
John Young, auditor of the Farmers De-
post National bank, was made today by
Bank Examiner w. L. Folkes. The former
employees, who are in jail, are charged with
mlsapplying funds of she bank amounting
TO S1,1O5.OOO
According to persistent rumors. informa-
tions against many business men I'm this
city and other cities are to be made within
short time.
The previous amounts named were SS5,0OO
Rieber and Young are held in $4,000 bail
The examination and audit of the books
of the bank has been practically com
pleted, and It is believed that the informa-
tions today will cover the entire shortage
within the statutes. Containing two
counts, embezzlement and misapplication
and false entries in the teller's statement
book, the Information charges tho fraud
extended over a period of three years prior
to March 10, 1905 Funds Of the bank It is
alleged were diverted as late as March OF
this year.
In cases of embezzlement the statute Of
limitations applies after three years and
for this reason information cannot go back
further than to March 10. 1905.
Reiber and Young for n number of years
have had the entire control of the cash of
the Farmers Deposit National bank. They
were accustomed to make reports of the
amount of cash on hand to the bookkeeper
and their report for years has always been
wrong to the extent of the shortage. For
the last few months this has been over
s., ,OOO,O 900.
The men have made a confession to the
government authorities and an examination
made by Examiner Folds shows the amount
they say they appropriated corresponds al
most exactly with the shortage in the bank
at present.
The government authorities are staggered
at the amount involved and 1t is stated in
no case has so much been taken from
bank in the same manner

EARTH SHOCK WRECKS CITY

MEXICo CITY, March 27-The town of
Chilapa. in the state of Guerrero. was
completely destroyed by an earthquake last
night. Following the shock the ruins took
fire and the whole city is burning. The
populace is terror-stricken 1t is not
known, even approximately, how many lives
were lost. ChilRpa was a city of 1900 in
habitants.
WASHINGTON, March H.-Two great
earthquakes were recorded at the weather
bureau last evening. The first shock was
much greater than the second and began
with great distlnctness at 6:O9:22 p m. The
second began with equal distinctness at
10:45:22 p. m.
The duration Of the first preliminary
tromors in the first shock was exactly the
same in all four records and amounted to
five minutes and three seconds. The dis
tance in each case would be about 2,40O
miles This distance agrees so closely with
the quake recorded March 25 as to suggest
that all three of these earthquakes origi-
mated in nearly the same locality.
The earthquake which is reported to have
destroyed the Mexican town of Chilapa
undoubtedly is the same disturbance that
shook the Island of st. Thomas yesterday
afternoon, which was recorded at Washing
ton last evening and which caused consid-
erable alarm In Mexico City last night.
At Washington two shocks we're recorded
by the instruments of the weather bureau.
They were approximately at a distance of
2,400 miles. The first took place at 600 p.
m. and the second at 1854 p. m. In addi-
tion to this there was recorded on the aft
ernnoon of March Is at Washington evil
dences of e strong shock believed to be in
the same locality as those of yesterday.
The shocks in Mexico City last night
cracked walls all over the city. The theater
crowds rushed to the streets and for a
short time there was considerable appre-
hension. No great damage was done. The
disturbance at ST. Thomas is described
as a very sharp earth shock, but 1t did no
damage. The town of Chlapa is some
thing over 1000 miles from Washington
and 115 miles south of Mexico City. 1t is
forty miles from a railroad The state of
Guerrero is in the earthquake belt. April
Is, 1907, it experienced a quake which did
considerable damage. At this time Chilpan-
eingo and Chilapa were partially destroyed
and the death list exceeded 100. The shock
of 1907 did damage to a number Of smaller
towns in the state of Guerrero.
