. D|Az INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %
Beaten in the attempt to head off an
investigation of the persecution Of the
Mexican political! refugees, the Re-
publican leaders of the house of rep
resentatives are now relying upon
the attorney generals office to be-
little the inevitable international
scandal. which will follow proof Of
the Mexican governments connection
with the arrest of Mexican patriots
in this country.
Representative NICHOLS, the Penn
sylvanla miner, who in behalf Of or
ganized labor, introduced the resolu-
ton calling upon Wickersham for
facts in, his possession relative to Ma
gon, Villareal and Rivera, states that
since the Introduction of his demand
he has received a mass of additional
evidence from American Witness
es proving that systematic persecu-
ton and unwarranted arrests have
followed Mexican political refugees
all over the United States. Among
others, one letter comes from the
noted magazine writer, John Ken
meth Turner, whose series of articles
In the American Magazine, entitled
"Barbarous Mexico,' have caused
Dtaz great uneasiness by their ex-
posture of slavery. Turner has agreed
to come to Washington as a witness.
Here Is the letter:
Los Angeles, CAL,
Hon. T. D. Nichols,

Dear Sir: Push the fight for the
Mexican political refugees. You could

: SCRANTON, Pa, April 29.-Per-
haps nothing In the history of mine
accidents more. clearly shows the
miserable conditions of the mine
workers. the terrible risks which they
run daily and the awful uncertainty
Of their daily lives than the story Of
the killing Of William Morgan, in
the Dodge mine on Thursday. Nor
gan was crippled, his back broken in
a mine accident two years ago, but
despite that fact he was forced to
work, and when he heard the roof
cracking in the chamber in which he
was at work, he was unable to run.
He was instantly killed. =. !. -. l. -.
For nearly two years Morgan was
unable to work, and he had only re-
turned to- the mine about. month
ago. The first day he was struck by
a piece. of falling coal, cutting his
head so badly that he was laid up
until about ten days ago.
George Grass, a. laborer,. assisting
Morgan, had his right leg broken
when he attempted to help Morgan
to safety.
A few minutes after a blast had
been Tired, the roof began to crack
and chip, and Grass, shouting a
warning to- Morgan, started to run
Tor safety. Morgan, crippled as he
was, was unable 20 move faster than
slow walk. Grass turned back to
help Morgan, but before he could
reach him big slab of rock struck
him. Grass made another heroic ef-
fort to drag Morgan out of harms
way, but a second chunk of rock in
fNcted fatal injuries.
Morgan Is survived by a wife and
six children.
Perhaps a few figures may impress
the point of this tale more wildly
than mere words could. Every 270,-
900 tons Of coal mined in this coun-
try costs the life of one miner and
rive others are crippled for life.
At the height of prosperity, five Of
every thousand miners who went
down into the land of MONDAY night
to quarry out the black diamonds to
supply the nation with heat and pow
err, lost their lives. More than a.
900 miners have lost their lives and
twice as many have been manned for
life during period of seventeen
years. I.~< = :
During the past. year alone four

POULTRY NOTES.

II pays to breed from vigorous
birds.
The poultry business will never
meet the demand.
Many poultrymen feed alfalfa every
day In the year.
Look after the little things and your
success will be great.
Never keep chicks on a board floor.
II develops leg weakness.
Resolve to keep the poultry hous.
perfectly clean this year
II we want extra good layers we
must breed this trait into the hens.
Bread thoroughly dried and rolled
into fine crumbs is excellent chick
food
The isolating coop should take care
of every bird that is OF feed or un-
healthy.
Feed breeding ducks q crumDly
mash twice a day, morning and
evening.
II we want 10 get eggs in winter
we must breed from hens tnat lay
well In winter.
Coop the fowls intended for market
and give them all they will eat of rich
food for a week or two.
The pens should be kept clean and
sanitary; a provision should be made
to admit plenty Of sunlight.
Cut bone or meat meal take the
place Of the now absent insect diet SO
necessary to egg production.
Hens prefer seclusion when they are
laying, and they are not likely to
break eggs and get into the habit Of
eating them II the nests are kept
dark.
A farmers wife will not find It hard
to get private customers In town, for
genuine fresh eggs are seldom to be
had there
For watering poultry the best meth
cd is to use the gallon fountains and
fill with warm water every morning
These fountains are made Of ga'van
ICED Iron and can be carried In and
set on the kitchen stove If they ,reeze
up.

ADVANTAGES OF THE SILAGE
Experiments Demonstrate That Field
Of Corn VIII Yield $33 per Acre
Use In Fattenlng.

(DY PROF. d. III. OTIS UNIVERSITY
OF WISCONSIN,
OF the various feeds which are the
most palatable corn silage is without
doubt the cheapest and most effective
ration. II is available feed for dairy
and beef cattle and also for horses,
calves and sheep. Many of the lead
ing Wisconsin farmers find that silage
can be handled as cheap, II not cheap
or, than the corn crop can be handled
In the usual manner. Silage furnishes
q succulent feed with very little waste
and is always ready to use.
In combination with alfalfa or clio
yer, with mixture of corn or barley
for grain, silage furnishes an espe-
cially good ration, all grown on the
farin and cheaper than mill feeds.
The Importance of palatability cannot
be overestimated. as 1t increases the
amount of feed eaten and, when prop
erly asslmilated. the more the animal
eats the larger product It will return.
A ton of mixed hay occupies. 400
cubic feet of space and eight tons of
corn silage- can be put In the same
amount of room. The ton of mixed
hay contains about $50 pounds of d.
gestible dry matter, while eight tons
of silage contain 1850 pounds of dry
matter. This one point of the eco
nomical storage of the corn crop,
when put up In the form of silage, is
worthy Of attention where a large
number of animals are fed
The advantages of feeding silage
during periods of drought is fully ap-
preciated by those who have tried It,
During the latter part Of last summer
Wisconsin suffered severe drought
and corn silage was fed to the univer-
sity dairy herd. The flow of milk was
never kept up so we'll during the sum-
mer as 1t was by the use of this
silage. The summer silo Is sure to
become more important factor in
successful dairying.
The use of silage for fattening beef.
cattle has been tested at a number of
experiment stations and by stockmen
with excellent results. In experiments
conducted by the writer II was found
that silage fed steers sold at $495 per
100 pounds, while those fed no silage
brought only $4.70 per 100 pounds,
gain of rs cents in favor of silage fed
animals. II was found that for every
100 pounds OF gain All pounds of
silage fed saved IS pounds of grain
and 1853 pounds of alfalfa.
In these tests silage was fed In con-
nection with alfalfa hay. corn chop,
Kafir corn chop and cottonseed meal.
The average soil, In unusual seasons,
will produce IL to 15 tons of green
corn per acre. Even with a yield of
10 tons per acre there is an income,
according to this experiment, of about
S3S per acre.
The financial statement OF this ex-
pertinent showed that the silage fed
steers made profit of s4.1O per head,
while the same grade of steers fed
on the same feed except silage lost
S1.47 per head.
