UNCLE SAM WON'T
YIELD TO JAPAN
IMMIGRATION AGREEMENT BE-
TWEEN TWO COUNTRIES TO
STAND AS 1T is.
FLOWERY KINGDOM NOTIFIES NATIONS
Declares That She VIII Raise Her
Tariffs Against All Powers-No
New Treaty at This Session
of Congress.

Washington, d. C.-The United
States, it can be stated on the high
est authority, has not yielded and has
no intentions of yielding to Japan on
the questions that relate to Japanese
immigration. 1t can be stated on the
same authority that no new treaty
between the United States and Japan
is possible at this session of congress.
The attitude of the United States on
the subject of immigration is abso-
tutely unchanged and does not differ in
any degree from that attitude as re-
Gently explained.
The officials of the administration
are edited and have been for year
past by the efforts of Japan to get
the United States to agree to prop
osition which will enable Japan to
apply to the United States a higher
tariff than now exists. Japanese
commercial treaties with other pow
ers expire in July, 1911; that with
the United States expires July, 1912.
Japan has given notice that she will
raise her tariffs against all nations
and the new tariffs cannot be effec-
tive until new commercial treaties
have been agreed to. She is also
obliged to expect all the treaties at
the same time SO that her proposition
in cold blood is that the United
States shall agree to advance the
date of the expiration of her treaty
so that the high Japanese tariff can
go into operation against the United
States year earlier than is now pos
sible.
If Japan really wants this conces-
sion 1t is understood that she can
get 1t, but the proposition has moth
ing to do with the few questions at
issue between the United States and
her and especially as to the regula-
ton of Japanese immigration. 1t is
explicitly stated here that there can
be no modification of the regulations
affecting immigration unless Japan
shall repudiate the agreements be-
tween the state department and the
Japanese embassy in Washington of
what is known as the gentleman's
agreement or the five articles. When
those articles were agreed to the jap
anese ambassador, Mr. Takahira,
agreed to the principle that immigra-
ton in so far as Japanese is, con-
cerned could be regulated by "execu-
tive order" and in fact an execu-
tive order was thereafter issued by
the Mikado to regulate immigration"
by means of restriction of passports.

MEXICAN REBELS take TOWN
Place Governor Under Arrest, XIII
Sheriff, Liberate Prisoners and
Seize Customs House.

Calexico, Cal.-A band of 100
armed revolutionists suddenly ap-
peared at daylight in Mexicalli, the
town adjoining Calexico in lower Cali
fornia, Mexico, in the morning and
Immediately proceeded to take posses
sion. They appeared at the house of
Governor Terrazas, sub-prefect of this
district, and placed him under arrest.
Proceeding in an orderly manner to
the customs house they demanded the
surrender of the government officials.
Here the revolutionists met demur-
rers, but when window was broken
in and the chief of the customs corps
was dragged out, they laid down their
winchesters and surrendered. All
federal officials were placed under
guard as the main party proceeded.
The revolutoinists then went to the
Jail and demanded the keys of Jailor
Jose Villasenor. He refused them
and was shot dead with a bullet
through his head. The lock on the
Jail was then broken off and the in
mates found within were all freed, in
cluding two revolutionists who had
been arrested previously. These
joined the forces of the insurrectos,
with cries of "Vive Mexico" The
leading stores were visited and the
would be allowed and that as long as
their demands were complied with
there would be no rioting or killing.

VOLCANO BELCHES
FORTH DEATH LAVA
TIDAL WAVE FOLLOWS AND AT
LEAST THREE HUNDRED
PEOPLE DIE.
FIVE FILIPINO VILLAGES ARE IN RUINS
All Towns Within Radius of Twenty
Miles Of Mount Tail More or Less
Damaged by Shower Of
Mud and Stones.

Manila, P. I.-At least 800 persons
have been killed in the vicinity
of Lake Taal by the tidal wave that
followed volcanic outbreak of Mount
Taal. This is the information sent to
this city by an American school teach
er who has laboriously traversed the
stricken region. She telegraphs that
five villages were destroyed and that
many persons who escaped death in
the tidal wave lost their lives in fires
started by lava. All of the towns with
in radius of 20 miles were more or
less damaged by the shower of mud
and stones.
The eruptions continue. The ma
tives have abandoned their homes in
the vicinity of Lake Taal to seek ref
uge in the hills. Mount Taal rises in
the center of Lake Taal, body of
water not more than Is miles in cir
cumference. 1t is "a miles from this
city, from which dense clouds of
smoke from the crater are visible. OBJ
servatory authorities believe that
Manila is in no danger, but there is
some alarm among natives, who re-
call the destruction caused by Mount
Mayon, the other volcano of Luzon, in
1897. So far, however, Mayon has
shown no activity. Investigators of
the bureau of science report that with
the first violent eruption Of Mount
Taal on Saturday the volcanic island
appeared to sink five -Teet and the
waters Of the lake, rising, swept the
shores mile inland. The towns of
Taal, Lomery and Palisay seem to
have suffered most.
Mount Taal rises 1,050 feet from
the center of Lake Taal, province of
Batanfas, Luzon. 1t is the second
volcano in importance in Luzon and
has experienced eight violent distur-
Dances preceding the present one,
since 1903. 1t has been more or less
active from time immemorial. It's
most destructive eruption occurred in
1854 and continued for period of six
months, causing much loss of life and
enormous destruction of property
There were less serious outbreaks in
1908 and 1878. In 1869 Mount Mayon
was in eruption for two months, de-
stroying the towns of Cagsauaa and
Malinao, together with several vii
lagos. In 1914 it burst forth again, de-
stroying five towns. Another erup-
ton occurred in May, 1897, when 400
persons lost their lives. The latest
outbreak, less severe, was in March,
1900.

LARGE CORN EXPO OPEN
AGRICULTURAL SHOW AT coLuM-
BUS HAS BROAD SCOPE.
Thirty-Flve States Send Exhibits
Which FIJI Every Nook and Cor
ner of Seven Buildings.

Columbus, O.-An attempt will be
made by those interested in the
raising of grain in the United
the National Corn exposition, which
opened here January 80 and will last
until February IL, in scheme to make
the corn expositions of the future in
ternational affairs. This project is
championed by some of the foremost
grain experts of the country and has
gathered such prestige that it seems
assured of favorable hearing.
The agitation is due to the enor-
nous success met with by annual ex-
positions of this American staple and
the ever increasing list of grains and
grasses that have come to be exhibit
ed with it. When the first show was
held in Chicago in 1907, only corn was
shown. At the next two annual shows
it was found necessary to enlarge the
scope by adding classifications for all
grains and grasses. Interest, however,
has become so great, because of the
extension and broadening out, that
not alone all the states, but the gov
ernment department of agriculture
has become directly interested and
benefited. The present exposition is
the largest ever held and includes
such innovations as lectures and
demonstrations in domestic science,
dairy exhibits, government tests to
exclude moisture from corn, and
many other novel and interesting fea-
lures. Exhibits from 35 states fill
every nook and corner of seven of the
largest buildings on the Ohio state ex-
position grounds. These exhibits,
which are in charge of expert demon
strators, deal in practical way with
nearly every phase of the science of
agriculture.
The federal department of agricul-
ture is represented with its famous
exhibit which fills two large furniture
cars, and which has just been re-
turned from the international exposi-
tion at Buenos Ayres.

in the quality of incubatOrs and brood

matches sometimes. At my place we
have been using the same incubators
for four years now, and they are fine
machines, but still we have trouble
occasionally. And so with brooding-
until you have had some experience
you will not get the results that the
expert does.
Not long ago I sent two customers
200 eggs each; eggs from the same
pens and the same fowls. One of these
customers got 174 chicks, the other
got only 40. And another customer
set II eggs under hen and got Is
chicks and set the balance of the same
lot of eggs in an incubator and got
only a so per cent hatch. Now If that
hen had not put it up to the incubator
so nicely, should probably have been
blamed for the poor hatch.
Yet, in selfprotection, you should

for some of them are extravagant on
their face. With good care a profit of
$500 hen per year can be made with
White Leghorns, and $500 is possible,
as is shown by the report of the
poultry director of the Western Wash
ington Experiment Station, printed on
another page; but no man can make
$3.50 profit each from a large flock,
selling all the eggs at market rates.
Claims of profits of $500 to $4,000
per hen are absurd. And the best
breeders do not sell their very finest
fowls. Recently a buyer quit me in a
huff because 1 would not sell him some
2O0-egg hens, and purchased dozen,
with records averaging 267 eggs, from
another breeder. Now if had dozen
hens that averaged up like that should
certainly keep them myself-Extract

Pay no attention to the William
Tells" who are always ready and anx-
ious to show you how you ought to
go about it. There are thousands of
them; no community Is so small as to
be without it's specimen of this kind of
poultry pest. If you are puzzled about
anything in the course of business,
ask the breeder from whom you pur-
chased your stock about it. Or else
go to some one who is making a sue
cess of poultry raising, and you will
never find any of the pests referred to
in the ranks of the successful. The
man who is making a success of his
business never has time to go around
butting into his neighbours affairs; nor
is he so constituted anyway.
You can only Gus down the work to
a certain point, no matter how well
you systematic your business. There
is certain amount of work that must
be done; and no man can idle around
much and make success of poultry
raising. Get the habit of fixing things
as soon as they need fixing. The "to-
morrow" habit is the worst one that
poultry raiser can acquire and it has
bankrupted lots of them.
Don't waste any time over sick
chickens. Leave that to your grand
mother, if you have one. Your game
is to keep the fowls free from disease.
There is no excuse for sickness of any
kind getting a start in flock. Of
course some fowl will occasionally
overeat and get crop bound, or develop
liver trouble, or the strain of heavy
laying may result in ovarian trouble.
These are things you can't help and
the axe is the only remedy. But
there is no reason in the world why
roup, the most dreaded disease of all,
should ever get started in a flock that
is properly cared for; or scaly leg and
all the rest of the filth or contagious

quently, not conversant with the prac-
tical side of the business. It is poor
advice to follow. The breed kept should
be that which will pay the poultry
raiser the most money and any person
who has fondness for chickens of any
kind will like breed that pays a good
profit In the Pacific Northwest, where
much market poultry is imported from
the midwest corn belt, the "egg
breeds" are by far the most profitable
and the Leghorn is superior to all 9th
ers of this type. Eggs can be produced
at splendid profit here, but there is
little money in raising poultry for the
market.
Of all the Leghorn varieties the
White Leghorn is the best known, the
best bred, and out-numbers all other
varieties many times over. Except in
the New England states, all the great
egg farms of the country are stocked
with this variety of fowl. Out-num-
bered in the show rooms by many 9th
er varieties, it comprises a great ma
jority of all the domestic fowls in the
United States. From Denmark, a lit
tie country in Europe no larger than
some Washington counties, where this
variety alone is kept, $8,500,OOO worth
of eggs were exported in 1909 The
White Leghorn is much less nervous
than the Brown Leghorn, easier to
breed true to color, and lays much
larger egg, in fact, the eggs of the
White Leghorn exceed is size those of
