The whorls Of hair on the coats OF
horses and other animals are natural
pedometers. inasmuch as they regis-
ter the locomotive activities OF the
animals on whose bodies they are
found.
The best examples and the greatest
number of these hairy whOrls and
crests are found on the domestic
horse. A notable instance Is the
graceful feathering that extends along
the hollow OF the flank. dividing the
trunk OF the animal from the hind
quarters. There are also crests and
whOrls on the horses chest and other
parts OF It's body.
A study Of the action Of the under.
lying muscles explains the origin Of
these peculiarisies In the lay Of the
hair and furnishes the justification for
calling them pedomeserg, although the
analogy q, Of course. merely super

PREVENTION
BY DESMITH

Professor DeSmidt said: Much has
been said about this subject having
been discussed TAI and wide by a
thinking public.
Artificial means have been used
with some good results. Location and
care of trees with better results. Ma
ture and her advises with best results.
Nature has been and is doing much
for US to prevent blossoms from frost
but we have given very little time to
her good advice. she has given us
brooks, rivers, lakes and lands with
good northern slopes for orchard sites,
we know tht water win prevent frost,
and as we have a large delegation from
many states some Of the locations /
will mention are within the reach Of
all OF us. A piece of land that is six
or more feet above water level and has
water on two sides is. in my opinion,
the ideal of all. You have here a sub
irrigated soil SO artificial means of
watering will be uncalled for If the
soil is properly titled. You have the
cool breezes during the spring from the
water, thus keeping the temperature
in the orchard very even n no ex-
IRENE heat or cold at any one time,
thus causing the blossoms to come
forth slowly. This is natures plan.
In the fall it will be just the reverse,
the wind coming over the surface Of
the water causing a mild temperature
over the orchard land.
A location bor1ered on one side by
water is second best. Let the water
be on the north If convenient to pre-
vent late frosts. for frosts usually
come from the north at this season Of
the year, but after having passed over
the surface OF the water it being on
the north will raise the temperature
to a considerable extent. Those of
YOU who have matured late crops such
as corn, buckwheat and miIlet, know
this Is true from actual experience.
The third best location is a north
slope. There is much Of such land
and a great deal Of it useless for farm
purposes, being too steep for Guilt
waited crops. but worth hundreds Of
dollars per acre for orchard or fruit
lands. In the spring this land will
hold the frost latest thus keeping the
SAP as well as the blossoms back until
nature has laid its plans for the sea-
son.
some horticulturists claim that
keeping frost in the ground does not
keep trees from blossoming. This is
very true to a certain extent where the
orchard is on a level place with ro-
lection on the north or In q secluded
place thus having the extreme heat in
the day time and the reverse at night
thus mulching will not help much as
the tree win take sap from the att
mosphere, thus aiding the blossoms
ia this way. but the north slope or
chard is far different. Some OF you
have north slope orchards and speak
from experience at this time IL need
be.
Planting.

now OF. trees freezing dry during the
winter, not having enough moisture at
the root to sustain life and feed the
top when needed. When the sunshine
causes the buds to start the little sap
that still remains in the trunk and
limbs o is utilized and the tree is
dead although it may have a few
small green leaves at time of death.
You may consider it that the roots
have frozen dry durin gthe winter and
lay 1t to that cause-insuficient mois-
ture,
If your soil is easily worked plant
with a spade but If hardpan soil is
yours where the roots cannot easily
penetrate the soil by all means use an
explosive and in this way you will
help the little fbrous roots, giving
them a good foothold as well as help
ing nature to u b-irrigate this little
plant life.
Care.
Try and grow a crop in your orchard
that will leave stalks or some litter on
the surface to hold the snow. If this
is not convenient haul u your ma
nure or fertilizer after the first snow
fall and it will answer the same pur-
pose as this will prevent deep freez-
ing, also keep the wind cool in the
spring while the snow and ice are be-
ing thawed. You will find this very
important on a level or southern slope.
I would like to say a few things
about artificial heating in this con-
nection but time will not permit.
Kindly remember when you plant an
orchard with good trees and give them
proper care that the orchard will OUT
live the planter and will speak to your
memory long after you are gone from
the scene of action, I wish to leave
with you this little poem. 1t will no
doubt bring to many of your minds
the scenes of the parental home with
kind and loving remembrances, wheth-
err we were born across the waters or
in this our much loved land.

Four Big Speakers.
Four excellent speakers of promi-

session, which was one of the feature
meetings Of the convention. They
were Pres. w. ]. Black of winnipeg,
president Of the Manitoba Agricultural
college; Col. r. A. Wilkinson of Lake
Elmo, Mimi; Pres. Franklin L. McVey
of Grand Forks, president Of the state
university, and j.. NJ, Anderson of Far
go, president Of the Equity co-opera-
tive exchange.
All four are well known among the
farmers and have done a great deal to
promote the agricultural interests of
this section of the country. President
Black of Winnipeg, one Of the fore
most speakers Of the northwest, was
heard in an exceptionally powerful and
educational address. He WA well re-
ceived and everybody who heard him
felt much benefited by his excellent
remarks.

because it is through them you come
in contact with the home and foreign

final inspection, weight and dockage.

Miss Goodwin opened here as lead
ing lady in t'Wi1dfire'' last September.
Just as she was beginning to be we'll
known she was called to her home in
Columbus, O., by the death of her moth
er. Miss Genevieve Russell, (1rs.
sport North) now leading lady with
the Oklahoma company, took her place
until the first of the year when Miss
Goodwin opened again as leading lady
in Beverly of Graustark,' and has
since gained many admirers.
However, she became convinced that
the public did not like her and in a
curtain speech Saturday night, with
tears in her eyes said that she was
to leave and another was to take her
place, although she had done her best
to please. Several in the audience call
ed out, I'VE like you, stay" However,
Miss Bronaugh arrived today and VIII

lady. She was with Sydney Drew last
year and played Salvation Nell after
Mrs. F'iske, also played leads with the

CHECKS ARE SHOWN.
To Prove Price Paid by Packers for
a Rival Concern.

Chicago, Feb 26.-Detai1s of negotia-
tons through which the Armour, Swift
and Morris companies il Is alleged
sought to purchase certain stock in the
Schwarzchild & SuIzberger company, in
1907, were told to the Jury at the pack
ers trial today by Frederick Joseph,
president of the New York Butchers
Dressed Meat company.
Joseph said he had finally offered Mr.
Su1zDerger $3.50 a share for his q, S771A
sares in the Schwarzschild & SuIzber-
ger company. He said he was acting
for himself and inte4.ded to arrange
that with his lawyer later, to get the
money.
Government Counsel Sheean question
ed the witness regarding two contracts
which Ferdinand and SuIzberger en-
tered into with Armour, Swift and Nor
r1s for the sale of Schwarzschild &
SuIzberger stock in 1902.
This was prior to the signing of any
OF the three similar contracts with Ed
ward Tilden head of the National
Packing company. The witness re-
membered having seen the 1902
agreement but said he did not have a.
copy of them.
Joseph produced the checks used in
the purchase of the New York butch
ers dressed meat company. They were
for payment of 1000 of the $500
shares of the concern and amounted
to $425,000. The witness said the
money used in the purchase of this
stock was furnished by Edward Til

ALL ARE WAITING.
An Early Attack on Juarez by Rebels
Is Promised.

Ell Paso, Feb. 26.-Juarez is waiting.
The rebels are waiting. Seven hun
dred rebels under command of Emilio
Campo are encamped twelve miles
south of the town.
Their commander announces his in
tention to attack unless the town sur
renders, as soon as reinforcements, a
thousand strong, arrive from the
south. Juarez is guarded by over four
hundred apparently determined, but
untried men, and the officials declare
they will put up a fight if attacked.
Mexico Consul L. Q. Llorente in FL
Paso says Pancho Villa and 500 loyal
state troops are en- route to Juarez
from Chihuahua and that the rebels
may be expected to be attacked from
the rear at any time.
This morning a committee of Juarez
citizens went out to the rebel camp to
appeal to the rebels to return south
without attacking and avoid a possible
cause for Intervention, which might
come if the town is attacked. A
bridge which the Juarez citizens burn
ed near the rebel camp to keep the
rebels from slipping in on trains has
been rebuilt under temporary truce
and the rebels are getting water and
supplies from Juarez over the railroad,
which they hold.
Will Give Ample Notice.
The rebels promise to give ample
notice before attacking if the town re-

Sunday morning stating that Il was re-

HOLD BIC FESTIVAL
One Planned to Pay Off Organ
Debt.
Commercial Club Takes the mi
tiaI Steps.

A great May festival will be held in
Topeka for the purpose of raising S. 600
to pay off the Indebtedness on the pipe
organ in the Auditorium. This was de-
cided by the board of directors Of the
Commercial club this noon.
The plan is to have four nights OF To-
cal entertainments, and two other en-
tertainments given by out of town
talent. However, the details will be
worked out by committees.
The Commercial club will be divided
into four teams. each team to arrange
for one of the entertainments. To
make competition Gharp, the team that
puts on the best show VIII probably
receive a small percentage Of the re-
cepitS-ikely ia vote to be taken
by the purchasers of tickets as to the
best show.
The general plan adopted was that
suggested by Albert T. Reid, and Mr..
Reid was made chairman of COM
mittee to work out the details of the
plan which will be recommended to
the Commercial club as a whole. The
other members of this committee are
DR.. F. L. Loveland and z. f. Strain.
Another committee of three will re-
port upon the place for holding the
festival, and the price and manner of
sale of tickets.
1t was suggested that a prize of S 5
be offered for the best name for the
week of festivities, but no action was
taken relative to such a prize.
THE knights of the Six Nights was
a name suggested by Scott Hopkins.

its services, and the men of the Kar-
nivaI Knights KIub have expressed

However, the talent will probably
not be taken from any one organiza-
tion, but from the entire city. Tt was
the sentiment of the board that pop

things.

USED BAD BRICKS
J. A. Ramsey Makes Charges
Against Contractors.
Says Inferior Material Was
Used on College Avenue.

J. A Ramsey a fruit man and a
teamster in Topeka, sprung a sensa-
ton at the city hall this morning when
he declared in a voluntary speech be-
fore the board of city commissioners
that the city had been sWindled re-
when a carload of common building
brick was substituted in the pavement
by the contractors instead of the reg
ulation city paving blocks
Ramsey said he was a teamster at
the time. He said he was hauling
brick from the freight tracks to the
pavement on college avenue. A car
consigned to Manhattan for building
purposes came to Topeka by mistake.
The contractor, however, he claimed,
opened the car and sent the brick out
to the work on College avenue and the
brick was laid in this paving
Furth ermore, Ramsey told the COM
sioners he could take them out to the
location on College avenue and could
show them just where the brick was
laid and how they had Clipped and
crumbled. He said the regular tongs
used to carry brick would go over the
paving blocks but with the building
bric!, they would not catch
We ought to use home made
BRICK" Mr.. Ramsey said I'm Topeka
we have brick plants that can show
their stuff right at the factory with
out depending on outside shipments"
After the meeting w. G. Tandy,
CITY COMMISSIONER WHO Hap CAAdLl sc u
the city engineering department under
whose supervision the pavement is
laid said:
There is nothing to that charge.
All the brick in the College avenue
pavement are as good as can be made.
I can take anyone out there and show
them the proof of this statement"
Ramsey pleaded before the commits
sioners this morning to hire Topeka
contractors for pavement whenever
possible.
Last year a bunch came here from
st. Joseph and from Kansas CITY," Mr..
Ramsey explained. "They brought
their own men and teams. They
shipped in their groceries. They put
up tents just outside the city limits
They would not even shoe their horses
here. Every cent of money spent for
the Topeka paving was sent outside
the city. This is not fair. Outside
contractors should be required to hire
home labor at least
The commissioners took no action
on the Ramsey charges.
