SoW'S Milk.

Data relating to the amount and
quality of milk produced by sows is
given in bulletin 104 of the Wisconsin
experiment station, According to this
bulletin sows milk contains more ash
material, slightly more sugar, nearly
twice as much muscle and sinew pro
duclng material, good deal more fat,
and therefore somewhat more milk
solids than the milk given by COWS.
The above will be explained when
we remember that pigs double their

NEEDS OF SOUTHERN FARMER
Dversficaton Not Necessarily 5ene-
fetal or Desirable for the
Cotton Planter.

In treating of the subject Of Oliver
siflcation" Dr.. TAFT Butler in an ar
ticle in the Progressive Farmer says:
"Diversification is not necessarily
beneficial or desirable, and for the
cotton farmer is very difficult to put
into operation TO grow those crops
consumed on the farm Is usually
wise, but beyond this, dlversification
must be limited to the capacity or
intelligence OF the farmer and the
conditions surrounding marketing,
1t is true that practically all crops
needed by the people Of the south,
except cotton, are bought by the
south and, therefore meet with
ready sale, but the putting Of many
of these on the market in proper
condition, requires considerable
knowledge, experience and care, and
unless properly marketed, they will
not command living price to the
producer
During the past year wheat has
received much attention, but 1t is
doubtful if our soil and climate are
sufficiently well adapted to the grow
ing of wheat to justify the expense
Of securing the necessary machinery
to economically harvest, thresh and
mill the amount that will be grown,
Wheat growing may not be new
crop in the south, but 1t Is new to
many Of the farmers OF today and
is a new crop under modern condi-
tions of harvesting and milling.
Tobacco and rice have also been
suggested for different sections as
substitutes for cotton, but these are
new crops with which our people
are unfamiliar and they are expen-
sive and difficult to handle.
"Of all the new crops suggested as
substitute for cotton there is none
which promises better than peanuts,
because it is a southern crop, adap-
ted to southern soil and climate and
can be marketed through hogs, If In
no other way which are always In
lemand in the south,
"But no new crop should be planted
large scale, until few acres
hSe been grown for a year or two,
an the culture Of the crop learned
y is safe to stick pretty closely to
theyell-known crops, corn, oats, hay,
swet potatoes, and such other crops
as tire is a ready market for and
those we know how to grow and

"Newcrops should be sought and

areas sluld be planted until their
culture Is been learned and 1t has
been dennstrated that they can be

Anaconda, Mont-A battle to the
death was fought by two buck deer in
Silver Bow canyon at night within
fews rod of the Butte, Anaconda & Pa
cific railroad track. The incident is
one that might be found in one of the
Leather Stocking Tales or form chap
ter in the life of Kit Carson, though 1t
was viewed from the engine c4b and
the cushioned seats of a twentieth cen
tury passenger train and was brought
to an end by two bullets from rifle.
The scene was lighted by a full
moon, and from the canyon head arose
the majestic mountain sides Of shale
rock, with rugged peaks and the broad
sweep of the grassy slope crowned
with pine trees shutting in the wild
glen through which the iron horse has
right of way.
1t was while the freight train bound
for Butte was climbing the grade at
ductor Archie Kimball and crew saw
the first of the battle. The headlight
of the engine shone on the scene like
the spotlight on a stage setting, and
the trainmen saw the monarchs Of the
forest engaged in deadly combat, lung
ing, thrusting, parrying and plunging
again and again at each other with
powerful antlers.
Engrossed in the struggle, the wild
creature paid no attention to the
passing train The freight crew told
the crew of the passenger train that
leaves Butte at 11:15 what they had
seen and these men in turn notified
the passengers Of the Butte-Anaconda
train, so that all were on the watch,

SO The PEOPLE MAY DIAGNOSE
KANSAS MEDICAL SOCIETY MAY
TRY NEW PLAN.
Literature May be Mailed to Residents
of the State Giving Symptoms
of Disease.

Kansas City, Kan, May 4-The Kan
sas Medical society, which is in ses-
sion at the Masonic Temple will take
steps soon to inform the people of the
state regarding the symptoms of dan
gerous diseases. The memtSgs agreed
that many people have such symptoms
and do not know it. Instead of consult
ing a physician Immediately, they wait
until 1t is too late and there is no hope
for recovery.
A suggestion was offered by some
of the members that literature be
mailed to the residents of Kansas ex-
planning the symptoms of some of the
most dangerous diseases so the peo-
pie will be able to diagnose their own
cases.
The question of the physicians dag
nosis work was also discussed.
Doctors should be very careful as
to the diagnosis of their cases. DR..
e. e. Hubbard of Shawnee said. In
some cases a physician will be too
hasty in his diagnosis and the death
of the patient is sometimes a result
which Nigh have been prevented.
DR.. C. J. Niece and DR.. p. b. Matt,
both of Leavenworth, read essays on
''Vaccines and Vaccine Theropy With
Report of Cases" before the society.
They told how the vaccine was made
and how to administer it.
DR.. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the
state board of health, also talked. The
entire program was not completed and
those who were slated to speak had a
chance to make a short talk this
morning before the regular program
started. The meeting will adjourn
Friday.

MUST NOT RAISE THE RATES
Notifies Companies That Present
Rates Must Stand.

Jefferson City, May 4.-Frank Blake
superintendent of insurance, gave out
a statement in which he says there is
an attempt on the part of some of
the fire insurance companies to raise
their rates before the new rating law,
passed by the last legislature, goes
into effect. Blake has advised the
companies that the rates must not be
raised over what they were on March
Is, when the new law giving the sup
erintendent supervision over the MAX
ing of fire insurance rates, was sign
ed. This he told them, would be con
strued as a hostile act, and would
justify him in suspending or revoking
their licenses.
The insurance companies have filed
with the state insurance department
their basis schedules upon which rates
are to be based, but they have so far
refused to file other information in
Guiding test rates which he asked for.

THE ARBITRATION
TREATY IS BRIEF
The New Anti-War Agreement is
Nearing Completion,
CONSENT TO OTHER TREATIES
If Ratified Neither Without Consent of
the other May Enter Into Similar
Arrangement With Third
Party.

New York, May "A Washington
dispatch gives what purports to be a
resume of the treaty of arbitration be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, so far as it has been drafted.
1t says as the suggestions now stand
they are preceded by a preamble. The
new treaty will be a very brief agree
ment, with as few articles as possible.
The text of the articles of the treaty
are then given, the first of which is:
Differences which may arise of a
nature which it may not have been
possible to settle by diplomacy shall
hereafter be referred to the court of
arbitration at The Hague, established
by the convention of July 20, 1899;
provided, however, that they do not
affect the vital interests, the i~ndepend-
enc or the honor of the two contract
ing states and do not concern the in
terests of third parties.
Article II provides means for the
settlement of differences affecting
vital interests. These are to be set
tied by the appointment of high com-
missioners, and Article III provides for
the interests of third parties and an
ally of either contracting party.
Article " says that during the
operation of this treaty the United
States, ON the one side, and Great
Britain, on the other, consent not to
become parties to any convention,
treaty, understanding or alliance with
any power or powers except and by
the consent of the other"
Article Y provides for existing trea-
ties, and Article VI provides for the
payment of expenses incident upon ar
bitration at The Hague Tribunal. Ar
ticles VII and VIII provide for pre-
sentation of arbitration cases, and TX
provides for the use of existing arbi-
tration treaties between the United
States and Great Britain.
Article X says both high contract
ing parties are at liberty to agree to
arbitration treaties under these terms
with any other government, in which
case both high contracting parties
shall be bound to the new treaty. The
concluding article, XI, says the pres
ent treaty shall go into effect immedi-
ately upon signing in duplicate and
shall remain in operation for an indie
terminate period, although it may be
terminated at the end of every fifth
year from date of signing upon six
months notice from the government
desiring to withdraw.
