WILL NOT ADMIT
DIAZ is FREE
There Seems No Doubt However That
He Has Been Permitted
to Escape.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.l
VERA CRUZ, Mexico, Nov. 14.-Al-
though nothing definite had been
learned from the government au-
thorities or those in charge of the
San Juan del Ulloa military prison
here today, the general belief is that
General Felix Diaz has escaped. Mem
bers Of the revolutionary junta here
profess to have received adyices from
the United States that Diaz is in hiding
in one of the southern cities, probab-
ly in New Orleans, but the Madero
administration will neither confirm
nor deny the reports, and Ii Diaz has
escaped they have carefully suppress
ed the fact.
The strange manner in which the
escape Of Diaz reached the outside
world has given rise to much specula-
ton here today, as to wheth,r the
leader of the late short-liyed revolu-
ton escaped" or was in reality de-
ported by the Madero government
The administration was admittedly in
delicate position in dealing with
Diaz. The Madero advisors strongly
urged the execution of the revolution
airy leader, but the people as whole,
still regarding the Diaz family in al
most the same sense as royalty dis a
result of the long reign of Porfirio
Diaz, were shocked at the prospect of
the former presidents nephew being
executed. Many believed the excu-
ton of Diaz would SO arouse public
sentiment that almost any leader
could take up the reins of the reyolu-
ton and accomplish the overthrow of
the Madero government. Diaz would
have been pictured to the people as a
martyr.
For the government to quietly get
Diaz out of the country would have
been an easy way around the puzzling
position in which President Madero
was placed. The fact that the revolu-
tionary advices state that the jaileTs
actually aided in getting Diaz out of
the prison and furnished him with a
boat in which he escaped to a point
north of Tampico has added to the be.
lief that the government had hana
in his liberation.

GOOD furniture as an
~ indication Of good taste

Good furniture, like good clothes is
certain indication not only of good taste but
of careful choice.
Where you find Berkey & Gay furniture
you will never have any cause to doubt the
presence of good taste. 1t is always made of
the best woods, by the best workmen and in
the best style. A Berkey & Gay Flanders
piece for instance, represents oak in it highest
artistic development. ''Flanders" oak furni-
ture has all the dignifed beauty and style Of
the real Flemish at it's best. Age serves but
to add to its value and to its charm
Other Berkey & Gay furniture is marked
by the same characteristics. When you buy
Berkey & Gay mahogany piece you get real
mahogany through and through And in
faithful design and execution it will satisfy
the most exacting connolsseur.

| pillow with team of horses of the
harness type. Farmers are blowing
deeply these days, and it is distressing
to see light team struggling with a
heavy plow.
The general tendency, therefore, is,
when light team is used, to allow
the pillow to skim the ground in order
to ease up on the team. II team
of sturdy draft horses, weighing 1900
to 1900 each is used, they walk along

inches deep. without the slightest dis

Farmers in the south still cling
to the light breeds of horses, mainly
because there is more horseback rid
ing done, and the average farmer
wants a horse for all-around pur-
poses.
In the north, the heavy breeds, such
as the Percherons, Clydes and Shires
are most generally used.
The wise farmer will raise the type
Of horse best adapted to his needs.
Generally speaking, where only one
team can be kept on the farm, the
horses should be sizeable enough to
pull a pillow or draw heavy wagon
load with comparative ease, and at
the same time light enough to get
along over the road with a surrey or
light rig at fairly good gait.
If farmer keeps a number of
horses he will, of course, use the
heavy type for blowing and other
heavy farm work, and keep light
harness team for the road.

To make a colt easy to break, you

nearly half broken when you can
catch it anywhere.
The colt should first be halterbroke.

Many attempts have been made to
raise skunks for their fur, but the en-
terprises have usually been given up
as Improbable. According to the bio
logical survey Of the United States
department of agriculture, the chief
causes of failure have been cost of
fencing Enclosures, cost of mainte-
nance or lack of experience, leading
to overcrowding and, overlooking the
animals. In many cases, where the
animals We're successfully reared, it
was found that the expense of feed
ing them to maturity exceeded the
value of the fur, while in other in
stances the antipathy of the neigh
bors led to the abandonment of the
experiments. At present the value of
the best black skins would probably
allow margin of profit in rearing
this class of skunks. The survey
gives the following hints on skunk
farming:
In the matter OF food, the chief aim
should be to supply suitable and suf-
ficient diet at reasonable cost. A GER
tain proportion of meat is necessary,

teaches the colt to lead, but also
shows it its place. When the har
ness is to be put on it should be done
very gently, letting the colt become
used to it. Then drive it, using short
lines. When the colt is old enough
to do light work give it a few lessons
with the wagon, pillow, harrow or any
two-horse implement, always beside a
well-broken horse to act as teacher.
