fighters were out in good time, the
alarm being given by the Waterman
a few minutes after the fire started,
and nearly all the men in town were
present to do whatever was possible
|under the circumstances to save the
property. The water pressure was
good and the work OF the firemen
effective in combining the flames to
the two plants named. although the in
tense heat scorched some property in
all directions.

special fnterurhan car carrying TOO
feet Of hose and Firemen Bennett,
Seigleman ana Walder, rushed to the
rescue, the time made in the run by
Motorman Johnson being about ten
minutes. They returned about G
o'clock having rendered valuable ser

stored in the yards, partly in the
Williamson & KunKy yards, which
were separated from the mill plant BY

Notes on Live Stock

Many farmers are always holding
their live stock for higher prices. They
make a mistake in doing this, for the
market is as apt to go down as up at
any time. Always sell when the ami
mails are in prime finish and you wilt
realize most in the end. BY keeping
animals too long there is certain to be
loss in feeding, and there may be a
loss in mark sting.
A farmer has asked whether pigs
will grow and be health in small pens.
They positively will not. Young pigs,
ard ,-cung animals of all kinds, must
have an abundance of exercise for pro-
noting health and the development of
a large frame. They should be con-
fined for a few weeks during the fin :
ishing period.
Time is required for producing goo1
things of any kind and for making a
success in any line. So it is with live
stock. But start now with some good
breeding stock and within few years
you will have the best 1t is the only
way, but it pays.

HORSES IN SPRING.

Probably more horses are injured
with early spring work than with work
at any other season of the year. The
reason is that most horses on the gen.
eraI farm have been more or less in
active during the last part of winter,
hence they are soft and weak and can
not stand heavy work when the weather
begins to grow warm.
The horse must be carefully looked
after at the time when spring blowing
and planting begin If the team has
been idle most of the winter it should
he harnessed and worked some every
dav of the week at hauling, driving or
some kind of exercise in the harness
for hardening the muscles, shoulders
and getting the system in working order
generally. Do not drive the team fast
nor compel it to draw heavy loads
Let it rest often in mud and up hills.
Above all. do not drive fast at this sea-
son when the horse or team is first
slitched up. Let the horse go on
slow walk when you first start out,
and let it stop for short breathing
spells.
MANY farmers seem to think that be-
cause horses have been resting all
winter they can do more work when
spring comes. The reverse is true. If
they have been in the harness almost
every day in winter they will be hardy
and strong for spring work, and rush
DAYS work will not injure them. But
if they have been idle for few weeks
they cannot stand heavy work with
out perspiring, becoming short of
breath, and showing fatigue within a
short time Often an hours fast driv-
ing or heavy work will cause the horse
to become i'll, and in some cases to
result fatally, or disablement for sew
eraI weeks.
few days when spring work begins.
Do the lightest work possible for the
first day or two. Let the horses stop
for rest every few minutes during the
first half day. Some might call this
foolish work with horses, but it is tie
most sensible thing that can be done
You yourself stop often when spring
fever is on WHY should not the
horses?

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING

MANILA, March 13.-Second Lieu

known whether the killing was IN
territorial or by accident. Army IN
spectors are investigating.

his wife, attended dinner party at
the house of Lieutenant Colonel Rob-
ert F. Ames. Janney left the party

way to which he fired one shot pre-
sumably in the air. He entered the
house and fiourished the revolver

ed.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

With hogs soaring around the sic
mark, there is no need of any argument
to convince the farmer that there is
money in hogs.
The time for the 2-year-old hog
1t does not pay to feed old animals for
market.
The pig, the calf and the lamb make
of feed. Sell them when they are fit
for market at the end of their rapid
growing period. When they arrive at
the age where they cease to grow rap
idly they cease to make economical
gains on the feeds consumed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IA
Here's new idea in conservation AS
sociate Forester Potter proposes to
conserve "the good old summer time"
Away up on the mountain tops in
the national forest reserves, Potter
tells Secretary Wilson that there are
any number of winding lakes and crys-
tai streams fringed with cool woods
that would make ideal rest cures for
residents of our western metropolices
His scheme is to provide for the poorly
paid over worked slaves of capital, at
the cost of about IS per annum, tracts
of nature which they may fence in
and use for their very own, with no
restrictions other than the ten COM
mandments and the regulations of the
forest service.
Under Potter's plan permits would
be issued to applicants good for ten
years, unless revoked by the secretary
of agriculture. There are now several
special permits issued by the forest
service for summer homes and one for
a hotel, or club house, on the San Ber-
nardino mountains in California.
These are good for only a year at a
time The club house permit how
ever, has been renewed for several
years and has become quite perman-
ent institution.
Potter's new plan is now passing
under the critical eye of Solicitor Nc
Cabe, of the department of agricul-
ture, because Secretary Wilson does
not intend starting anything again I'M
less he knows it is legal even to the
crosses of the It's. Unless the solicit
tors stern regard for duty compels
him to object, the plan should be in
operation before long and the people
of the west will be able to put in their
applications for country seats this
spring.

hundred Japanese, assembled in a
meeting to discuss the registration tax
imposed by the government of the
Mikado upon all subjects residing In
the United States, passed resolutions
demanding the dismissal Of the local
Japanese consul, Matsuzo Nagai. A
protest against the payment of the tax
was embodied in the resolutions and
will be forwarded at once to the for
eign Office at Toxic. 1t was agreed
that the tax would be resisted with
force if necessary. The payment OF
the tax grants a respite from army
duty under the Japanese flag, makes
contract marriage optional, and guar
antees a safe return to the United
States to all those who visit their for
mer home.
