Harms Charges Declared
False by the Investigators

the men. at the East ST. Louis station
from top 10 bottom, are absolutely honest
and competent; that they are disscharging
their duty to the service and TO the public
in a conscientious, high minded, efficient
way and that no meat is passed from the
East ST. Louis station bearing the mark Of
federal inspection which is not in every
respect fit for human food. The record
shows that many OF the employees at the
East st. Louis station have worked over
time in their efforts to give an honest, ef-
ficient inspection and it is TO be regretted
that the word OF a disgruntled. dissatisfied
employe, irresponsible and answerable to
no one. should be made the occasion of
an attack on a service which is honestly
conducted and which means so much to the
American consumer OF meat products and
70 the cattle, sheep and hog rsisers OF the
country, who are bound to suffer from any
attack no matter how uncalied for, which
may be made upon the service"
As the result OF the report Secretary
Wilson has ordered the summary dismissal

KEEL, July z.-Prof. H. Hergesen Of tho

BERLIN, July 2.-The proposal to reach
the north pole in a Zeppelin airship is re-
garded as feasible by Eric Won DrygalskL,
the well known geographer and polar ex-
plorer, who today said that the accomplish
ment of the project lies with the radius OF
action which Count Zeppelin already has
demonstrated as possible for his craft. The
dangerous and severe Arctic storms must
be reckoned with, although these are not
so threatening in summer Herr Won
Drygalski regards the geographic and
scientific aims of the expedition as fully
justifying the venture and the expense en-
tailed.
Prof Penck. director of the ooeano-
graphic museum. explained today that the
distance from spitzbergen to the north pole
is about equal to that from Friedrichshafen
to Koenigsburg, and he takes the optimistic
view of the probability Of success.

Gives Himself Up
to Save Another
San Francisco Man Confesses to Muir
der that Had Been Charged
Against Another.

SAN FRANCISCO. July flames Ed
ward Cunningham, a laborer. has con-
fessed to the murder of Miss Caroline
Brasch, cashier for Gray Brothers Con-
struction company who was shot and killed
in the company's offices last Wednesday.
Cunningham surrendered himself because
another man was under arrest charged
with the crime.
Cunningham entered a newspaper office
last night and made his original state
ment, which later was repeated to the po-
lice. The detective department was not
notified until early today, when represen-
tatives of the paper delivered the man
into custody.
The original theory as to the murder is
borne out by the confession of Cunning
ham. The police in the arrest of J. Novak-
another laborer, were endeavoring TO
fasten the crime on an innocent man. who
CHANGED to be the victim of circumstances
almost unparalleled.
Cunningham, according to his statement,
entered the offices of Gray brothers just
as Novak departed. Novak had disputed
with Miss Brasch a trifling difference in
his pay check and went away in anger
Stepping before the cashiers window i'm
mediately afterward, Cunningham declared
he renewed a wrangle OF several weeks
hstanding over his check and finally shot
the girl.
The description Of his escape impel the
police to believe that Cunningham fired the
shot.

TWENTY BURIED IN TRENCH
Wall of Dock Collapses and Carries
Them to Death.
HAVE NO CHANCE TO ESCAPE
Four Men, StiTI Living, Are Pinned
Under Debris, and Efforts Arc
Being Made to Get
Them Out.

NEWPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE, Eng
land. July 2-It is estimated that twenty
men perished today by the sudden collapse
of the west wall of the new lock at the
entrance of the Alexandra dock.
The extension of the dock work has been
In progress for some time and fifty men
were working in a trench sixty feet deep,
preparing for the laying of a concrete
foundation, when the heav yshoring timbers
suddenly gave way in the middle and the
entire structure collapsed and carried down
with 1t thousands of tons of earth, the
railway lines on both sides Of the trench,
many cars and four travelling cranes.
The men at the bottom of the trench,
which was 100 yards long and thirty feet
wide, had no chance to escape, but many
of those working nearer surface were un-
injured. Three men were taken out alive
and the bodies of some of the dead were
later rescued.
Late tonight four men. still living. were
pinned in the debris in the trench. The in
coming tide made the work of rescue diff
cult.
The engineers in charge of the work are
unable to account for the collapse of the
snoring timbers. At midnight the rescuers
were still busy.
Conversations were being held with a
few of the imprisoned men with the aid OF
speaking tubes, and stimulants and cigar
cites were passed down to them; but there
was little hope of rescuing the victims, be-
cause the removal OF the debris that was
pinning them down was likely to cause
further falls
Up to midnight eleven persons had beer
extricated dead or injured and 1t was be.
lieved there were still sixteen bodies under
the debris.
Owing to the fact that the workmen were
of the casual class, with permanent homes
the names Of the dead and injured are un.
known.

The Profitable Dairy Cow.

Some people seem to keep and milk
cows simply because others keep them,
without any regard to whether the
cows are paying a profit. For COW
to be worth keeping she must pay q
profit on the feed and care given her.
For her to be really worth while, she
should produce 100 per cent more milk
than her feed costs, including pasture,
of course
1t does not matter so much what
breed COW belong to. Simply be-
cause she is Of Jersey or Holsteln
blood, is not positive proof that she Is
more than paying her way. A COM
mon cow may be doing better than
she. The only way to find out what
she is doing is to weigh and test her
milk at regular and frequent intervals.
Let her stand on her merits and not
on her ancestry.
One reason why some COWS do not
pay greater profit is that they are not
fed all the nutritious feed they will
eat. This is especially the case with
many farmers in winter when pas
lures are dead. Many Of them keep
their producing COWS on half feed
when they are not on pasture, and still
expect the cows to make up the loss.
II cow is worth keeping at all she is
worth feeding all she can be induced
to eat. If it is not found profitable
to purchase extra feeds so that the
cows may have all that they will con-
sumo, then 1t Is best to keep only as
many cows as feed can be provided for
on the farm.
Make the cav produce all the milk
she can by good care and feed, and
do not let her go dry until the time
she is ready to turn dry. Keep the
best heifers from the best cows.-Jour-
nal of Agriculture.

Orchard Cultivation.

Hoe the weeds and grass away from
the trees in the orchard, and while
you are hoeing the grass and weeds
away, dig down into it and stir the
soil for or feet around the base of
each tree. Keeping the grass and
weeds away will destroy nesting places
for mice and prevent them from Cir
ding the trees. Digging into and turn
ing up some of the surface soil will
bring some insect pests to light to be
destroyed, and the stirring of the soil
around the base of the tree will do
some good in the way of cultivation.
A few minutes thus spent to each tree
may be the means of it's bearing an
extra bushel Of fruit this coming year.
The more the orchard is cultivated
and worked with the more it will
bear Intensive orchard cultivation is
imperative for the best results.-Jour-
nal of Agriculture.

Corn breeding.

The Illinois experiment station has
forts to breed corn for high and low
protein content and for high and low
oil content. Ten generations of corn
have been bred for these different pur-
poses by selection of seed having the
desired qualities. In the effort to in
crease the protein content the average
has been changed from 1892 per cent
to 1926 per cent in the effort to de-
crease it from 1922 per cent to S.64
per cent. Individual ears have been
found which contain as high as 1873
per cent of protein and as low as 6.13
per cent, as high as S.59 per cent of
oil and as low as 1.60 per cent. But
the high protein corn has been in
every case less productive than any
of the other three and in some cases
decidedly so. 1t has also been less
productive as a rule than corn grown
for no particular purpose-just corn.
The conclusion is reached from some
plots that, while this continued selec-
ton for a single purpose to the neglect
of all other considerations has resulted
in lower yields, yet this is not a neces-
sary result. In some cases high pro-
tein corn has yielded we'll as compared
with standard varieties bred for no
particular purpose.

Farming as "a Business.

Science has shown that where there
is a farm that does not. pay, the fault
lies not in the land, but in the man
who Is in charge Good or bad farm
ing results from definite reasons. Sue
cess results from painstaking, season
able operations; the application of
practical knowledge which has been
gained by studying the requirements
which are known will bring success.
Lack of ambition results in indif-
ferent work on the farm. Taking full
advantage of the resources OF any
farm, and following intelligent, up-to-
date methods of farming will in due
time mean steady and often very rapid
improvement in yield of crops. In a
sense, the resources of farm vary
with locality but in the main there
are many identical conditions on very
many farms. The farmer who works
to establish a well-set meadow, aims
to get the billy, washable, waste lands
set in grass; utilizes the rocky rough
lands by setting out fruit trees;
bitches the low lands and reclaims the
swamps; improves the stony fields by
picking off the surface stones so that
crops will take the places the stones
occupied, uses some of the ways of
taking advantage Of the resources of
farm.
The farmer who owns big farm in
very many instances does not secure
crops that average as well as the farm
err whose farm rarely exceeds sixty
or seventy acres. The reason Is the
large farmer cannot, with the force
he usually keeps, properly look after
everything, seeing that seasonable
work is done and that each farming
operation is well attended to. Each of
these is a great success factor in farm
ing. Hasty work means, invariably,
some neglect or work indifferently
done.

Fowls love to thrash out bundle of
wheat or oats, and it does one good
to step around to the door of the
poultry house and listen to the merry
chatter while the fowls are digging in
the straw.
Some farmers neglect the % to so
cents that the battening of cracks in
the coop would cost, and each month
feed a dollars worth of extra corn III
order to supply the animal heat
needed.
The answer to the question, Does
winter poultry pay? depends in large
measure upon where your hens are
roosting II Oh the bare branches OF
tree, on the northeast corner of the
barn, there can be no doubt about it,
There is a disposition to sit around
and sleep in winter. Hens will drop
into that habit if you do not help them
to stir around and work for their liv-
ing. That is why a scratching shed is
good, and why plenty of litter keeps
the fowls healthy.
o Scatter little grain among litter
at moon, and give a full feed at night
What is meant by a full feed of grain
is about good handful for each fowl
in the pen A mixture of corn, wheat,
oats and barley, equal parts by meas
urement, makes an excellent mixture
for winter.
Raise your chickens outdoors at all
seasons of the year, give them every
opportunity to get fresh air and sun
shine. Keep them in small fiocks
until they roost regularly. Keep the
roofs of all breeders and coops water
tight; dampness is fatal to chickens
old or young. If coops leak, cover
with tar roofing or canvas painted
with several coats of white lead
