Profit from Meetings.
Draper.-The farmers institute
held In Draper Friday proved a great
incentive to our farmers and stock.
men. The principal advocacy was to
promote more of an interest in stock
raising and dairying which is the
foundation of success in all new
countries. Special stress vas also
made upon the further culture Of alfal-
ia, corn and silage. A plea a also
made to Il people TO get our soil
seeded To sweet clover. This, the in
structors claim will do more to sub
due our hard subsoil than the farmers
can accomplish III years and years Of
hard labor in this direction. The roots
OF this plant pierce the subsoil to
quite a depth and die every two
years, thus accomplishing the prob
lem OF subsoiling.
The premiums offered by the bust
ness men were the means Of bringing
out a most creditable display of farm
produce. Many varieties Of corn was
exhibited which was pronounced by
the instructors as first class. Wheat,
rye, oats, millet and numerous varie-
ties OF garden truck was in evidence:
also excellent exhibits of alfalfa both
in seed and the several cuttings of
hay.

Called to Defend Holdings.

White OWL Eight homesteaders
havo been forced to defend their des-
ert land entries this week in a suit
brought by the government through

has been aroused by the cases here

being gathered in regard to the status
and p~racticability Of desert entries in
this section. Homesteaders are fight
ing the action brought against them

play. Special Agent A. B. Bouton of

Opinions Differ.

Pierre.-The attorney general holds
differently from the state game de-
partment in regard to shipment Of deer
killed in the Black Hills. The game
warden held under the law that ship
ments could not be made, even of
deer killed in the open season which
resulted in the railway and ex-
press companies in the Black
Hills section of the state refusing to
accept deer for shipment. This meant
that hunters in the Hills section could
haul their deer home in private con-
veyances, but to the outside hunter in
the Hills it meant If he secured a deer
he had no way of getting it home,
neither had he the right to sell the
deer after he had killed it. The at
torney general holds that while the
state game law does no make any pro-.
visions for shipping deer killed in the
open season, neither does it make any
specific provision preventing such
shipments. The law does provide for
carrying game birds and fish as bag
gage where the shipment is accom
panied by the hunter, and the state law
department holds hat a reasonable
rule should apply, and any game Sc
cured in the open eason is subject to
the general provision Of the law.

REGULATIONS FOR KEROSENE.
Department Anonounces New Rules
for Sale Of the Oil.

~
Observation-Disclosures in the office
OF the state food and drug department
here at the university are busy mail
ing to all retail dealers in kerosene
and gasoline copies Of the placard
which the commissioner who is also
ex-officio inspector of petroleum prod
uots, is required by law to prepare and
send to all dealers. This placard sets
forth the different standards recon-
mended by the inspector as to Beaume
gravity for the different purposes for
which petroleum products are gener.
ally used. Every retail dealer in these
products must post up and at all
times display" this placard, together
with the certificates received by him
from the wholesaler covering the
in his place of business.
The purpose Of this placard is pri-
marily educational. Much of the COM
plant from users Of gasoline finds it's
source in the fact that the consumer
uses the cheaper grades of gasoline in
stoves, flatirOns, ETC., and this gaso-
line is not intended for such pur-
poses. 1t is too heavy for use in these
appliances and it's use soon results in
a clogging of valves and other incon-
v%eniences. The lighter gasoline, II
properly made, does not produce these
unsatisfactory results because it CON-
tains none Of the heavier oils which
In the cheaper gasolines are slow to
volatiliZe and burn. With kerosene,
much the same difficulty is met. The
cheaper, heavier oils give good and
satisfactory results when property
used, but lamps in which they are used
must be more frequently cleaned and
the wicks should be renewed before
they have to be discarded on account
Of being toe short. Burners must also
be frequently cleaned by boiling for
some time in water containing a small
amount of saleratus or cooking soda.

Howard Elliott Talks.

Adopting a policy during the regime
of former President Chas. S. Mellen,
Howard Elliott, new head of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
way, this evening called the newspa-

some of the plans by which he said
he hoped public confidence in the
road may be restored. 1t was the
first time in years that a president of
the New Haven road had submitted
to cross fire of questions from
newspaper men as to the roads future
policy. Throughout the long inter
view President Elliott apparently
tried to impress his interyiewers that
the policy of secrecy and silence
heretofore so rigidly observed would
be discarded Elliott announced that
one of his first official acts would be
to divide the shore line division The
new divisions will be the sections of
New York to New London and New
Haven to Springfield. 81 hope to put
this new arrangement into effect with

dent Elliott. Under this arrange
ment divisional officials will be able
