San Francisco Houel Man Making
Search as Result of Promise to
Father.
Los Angeles, April S.-Ala Will
son, assistant manager of the Hotel
st. Francis, is here on a quest be-
hind which is a story as romantic
as any fiction Dumas ever conceiy-
ed. He is seeking Countess Lima
kolodzaike de Lubiatowski, daugh-
ter of a noble house of Poland, who
ran away from her home at Krast-
nay eight years ago at the age of
twenty-three, after many quarrels
with her father who refused to let
her see the world as she desired.
She took her valuable Jewels and
$4,000 in cash.
Her father, at first enraged, af-
ter became heartbroken, and sought
the girl around the world. The
trail led across the Austrian border
to Rome, Paris, London and New
York, and finally st. Louis, where
1t was lost. There the Count met
Wilson, to whom he had been pre-
ylously presented in Paris years be-
fore, and he enlisted the hotel
mans sympathy and a promise to
keep a lookout for the young wo-
man
wilson returned to San Francisco.
some time later Lubiatowski was
stricken with a terrible disease in
Kansas City and taken to a hospi-
tai in st. Joseph. He wired Wilson,
who went to him and accepted the
trust of continuing the search That
was five years ago.
The Countess was going under
the name of Lima Lubia, and was
again traced. but when she chang
ed her name to Mary Graham there
seemed to be no hope of locating
her. Three weeks ago Wilson.
collector of odd jewelry, was ram
maging a pawnshop and discovered
a rare Russian pendant He was
startled to csee a coat of arms and
the name Lubiatowski Wilson
found by following this clew that
the owner who had pawned it, un-
doubtedly the Countess, had ar
arrived in San Francisco Just be-
fore the fire, taken obscure apart
ments, and came to Los Angeles a
refugee. Wilson believes she had
to part with other Jewels, and ex-
poets to find them and the woman
here.
The Countess will inherit an es-
tate worth millions if found.

large owes the producer OF this crop
and establishes his right to at least
just treatment at the hands OF the
general law making power.
Under the present tariff law,
the duty on steel cotton ties
amounts to 81 cents per bale, or
So24,000 on a crop of 100000
bales. This tariff is prohibitive as
is shown by the fact that no steel
ties are imported. Therefore the
government has no share in this i'm
post which constitutes simply and
solely tribute levied upon the cot
ton trust.
Almose Prohibitive.
The duty on the jute bagging
imposed by the present tariff law
amounts to 5A cents per bale or
S63o,0OO, on a crop of 100000
bales. This tariff is to large
extent prohibitive inasmuch as it
yields only about 10000 in rev.
enues to the government. The bal
a tribute paid by the cotton farmer
to the bagging trust.
But the bagging trust is not
satisfied with it's share of this i'm
post. 1t desires to raise the duty to
figure which will not only pre-
vent the government from receiving
any revenue therefrom, but will en-
able the trust to take from the
farmer four times as much as it
has been able to take heretofore.
Further Grab Planned.
This trust has recently made a
technical test case based upon a
question Of chemical analysis, and
has secured ruling thereon from the
present rate, which amounts to
about 5 Il cents per bale, to an old
valorem duty, which will amount to
about 81 cents per bale. This means
an increase from $63O.eOO, all of
which the trust will collect from
the farmer without any division
with the government.
Thus under the Payne-Aldrich
law, as heretofore interpreted, the
cotton producer has borne the
burden of $950,000 yearly tax on
bagging and ties and if the chemi-
cal Interpretation holds he will
hereafter be mulcted in the yearly
sum of $2,S00,OOO for his baling
materials, all of which goes into the
treasures of the bagging and tie
trusts
From this it will appear that not
only the proposed outrage, but the
present tax on the bagging and ties
is Inadequate and wrong: and be-
cause the Western farmer has, and
has had for more than Is years, his
binder twines on the free list, the
tax upon the Southern farmer
stands condemned on the additional

Care of Brood Sows. Clemson En-
tension Work

Plenty of exercise is necessary
during the whole period of preg-
nancy which can best be provided
by furnishing suitable pastures for
grazing. In this State green forage
can be provided every month in the
year. For a permanent pasture Ber-
mudagrasS with bur and white cloy-
er is unexcelled. This supplement-
ed with rye, wheat, oats and vetch,
cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, rape,
red and crimson clover--as forage
crop-with skim milk and slops
from the house mixed with wheat
mlddllng, brand, ground oats and
corn, provides ideal feed and con-
ditions for brood sows and for pro-
ducing pork at minimum cost
Numerous feeding trials prove that
sows fed extensively on corn and
carbonaceous rations give birth to
small litters that lack vigor and Of
ten results in rendering the SOW
useless as a breeder, while rations
containing the required amount of
heterogeneous feed, obtained from
clovers, peas, beans, vetch, oats,
orans, etc, result in large, vigor-
GUS littels and keep the sow in eX-
cellent condition.
In this climate it is advisable to
have sows farrow in March or April.
The pigs then get a good start be-
tore the hot weather comes on and
are weaned in time to have the
sow breds to farrow again in Sep
tember or October. This gives the
little pigs sufficient age and size to
stand the winter conditions. The
period of CESSATION with sows is
about 112 days. The dates of breed
Ing should always be noted and
ABOUT week or ten days before
narrowing the SOW should be put In
clean pen not less than six feet
BY eight feet with a fender around
the sides about eight inches from
the floor and and eight or ten
inches from the side to prevent the
sow crushing the little pigs by ly-
ing on them. 1t is preferable to
have a small lot adjoining the pen.
For a week before farrowing the
SOW should be fed laxative food and
her bowels kept open. Give nothing
but water the first day after farrow-
ing and feed lightly for few days
until the SOW regains her normal
conditions when she will require
plenty of nutritious feed to stimu-
late a maximum flow of milk. At
birth the little pigs will weigh from
Two to two and a half pounds each
and for the first month must de-
pend solely upon the mother for
nourishment. The only way of feed
ing the pigs is through the SOW,
therefore it pays to feed libreally. If
the litter is large and the SOW is
poorly fed as is a poor milker, the
bigs become stunted and are usual
ly Improbable to raise.
When the pigs are three weeks
old, the SOW should again be turn
ed on good pasture and fed grain
or slops in addition. At the end of
two months the pigs should be
weaned and about three days after
weaving the sow is ready to be
bred again.

MANY ENLIsTING IN NAVY.
Force Only Six Hundred Short of Its
Full Quota.

Possibly the navy is more attractive
to the average young American than the
army. but the fact is that the recruiting
officers find little difficulty in obtaining
as many recruits for the naval service
as they need. At present the enlisted
force is only about 600 short of the full
quota allowed by law, which is f7.JOO.
The recruiting department has adopted
the policy of refraining from filling up
this quota, keeping a small number of
vacancies to provide places for the
trained veterans who are discharged on
the expiration of their terms Of enlist
ment. with the understanding that they
may re-enter the service at any time
within four months.
1t appears that a good many of the
men, wearied by a four-year spell of hard
sea service. conclude that they have had
enough of the navy and wish to spend
the remainder of their days ashore. But
surprising large proportion of these
men, after spending their money and per-
haps trying some civil jobs. feel the call
Of the sea and return to the navy yards,
where they are gladly taken aboard the
