and notwithstanding the published ad :

Gives Full Record.
The Engineering News gives the full
record, having sent n staff representa-
tive to Richmond on May to investi-
gate the situation. 1t shows that on
January 80, 1913. there was inserted in
the Engineering News and in other
technical journals, and in the daily
papers. an advertisement signed by
Robert Whittet. Jr., chairman of the
board inviting competitive plans for a
reinforced concrete bridge on the site
of the present Free Bridge. from Ninth
and Byrd Streets to Seventh and
Semmes Streets. TO be received on April
10 at noon. For the first or accepted
design a premium Of $1,000 was offered
For the second best design a premium
of $500 was offered. There is no record
that the City Council has ever author
lied the Administrative Board TO in
wife such plans or 10 incur this eX-
pense, and no appropriation Tor the
prizes has been made. TO such engi-
neers as were sufficiently attracted by
the advertisement to ask for further
information there was sent by City
Engineer Charles E. Boiling blue
print showing the location of the pro-
posed bridge with its mea Surements.
and a schedule OF the requirements as
to width of roadway, load, street car
tonnage, water and gas mains, freshet
vent and approximate surface OF rock
bottom of the river. The Engineering
News says that twenty-seven designs
were submitted. some of them from
the best known concrete bridge de-
signers in the United States, the plans
varying from fun sets of working
DRAWINGS to simple blue prints outlin-
ing the salient features.
Some Given Hearing.
The article says: The above notices
were the only official ones which were
publicly given to interested parties.
Certain of the competitors however,
had learned by personal inquiry, and
not from any general announcement,
that the board would consent to hear
the plea of any competitor who might
choose to present orally the virtues OF
his design. Such engineers to the
number of nearly a dozen appeared be-
fore the board and its adviser, mem
Der of a local architectural and engi-
neering firm, and for three days the
board heard their representations, APP

this the interest of the board In the
bridge matter was temporarily ex-
hausted, and no further consideration
was given the matter for some time.
On May representative OF Engineer

of the designs still safely reposing in

Exempt From Jurisdiction of
Tribunals Of Country to Which
They Are Accredited.
BY LA MARaUIsE DE FoNTENoY.

BY LA MARQUISE DE FONTENOY.
II VERY one is aware that foreign
diplomats are exempt from the
- Jurisdiction OF the tribunals OF
the country TO which they are accred
tied. But few realize that this I'M
munity is SO far-reaching that In the
event OF one of these diplomats losing
his life through violence. the local
authorities are debarred from making
any Inquiry as to whether or not his
death is the result OF a crime; that Is
to say, II forbidden to do so By the
foreign mission to which the deceased
belonged An Illustration of this has
just been furnished in England
One Of the best known members OF
the diplomatic corps in London was
NJ Mogens de Schested Secretary OF
the Danish legation and charge daft
flares of King Christian in England
during the interval which elapsed De
tween the departure of Minister Con-
stantine Brun. now once more envoy
in the United States, and the arrival
of his successor. NJ. Castenkiold On
Whitsunday NJ. de Schested disappear
ed. Notice was given to the English
police, and his relatives In Denmark
were communicated with. a fortnight
later his body was found in the
Thames mud at low tide, of the wharf
to the Westminster mortuary.
The Danish minister was at once
notified BY telephone, and within a
couple Of hours the body was, on his
demand. turned over to an undertaken
of his cnoice. and prepared for ship
n.ent to Denmark. The envoy would
not permit the corpse TO he examined
nor any coroner's inquest to be held
He would not, in fact, tolerate the
-,
Of the death, or tho circumstances
connected herewith. basing his par
ticularly stiff backed attitude In the
matter on diplomatic ex-territoria
prerogatives. The municipal authori
ties, the police and the Home Depart
Inent, consulted the Foreign Office. bu,
were al. informed that they woule
have to yield to the Danish legation
IN the matter
The result is that, SO far as people
in England are concerned, no one
tary of legation committed suicide by
drow ning whether ne was murdered
Or else stunned ana then thrown into
the river, whether he was robbed. In
one word, whether his death was self
inflicted or the result OF crime by
others
The whole affair has created an ex
tremely disagreeaole impression IN
London, and there seems very gen
erai disposition to criticize the DAMS
envoy. on the ground that he ought
TO have peen the very first TO welcome
a public investigation into what now
remains an unpleasant mystery In
fact, even his foreign colleagues APP
pear inclined TO ask whether he has
not put an undue strain upon the pre-
negatives Of diplomacy, since IL is
contrary TO public policy in this TWEEN
tieth century that foreign envoy
should have II in his power to shield
a possible murderer from the punish
ment of his cine hecause the victim

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

1t takes COW with a yearly produc-
ton of 300 pounds of fat to break
even these days. Better sell your
boarderS.
When you turn your COWS to pasture
don't forget that the high producers
still need grain.
Don't try to make hay out OF the
first crop of clover. Put it into the
silo.
Calves with scours should be kept
by themselves. The disease may be
infectious.
The best way to get good COWS is to
raise them.
Skimmilk fed to your heifer calves
will bring an enormous price. Try it.

FEEDING CHOPPED ALFALFA

FEEDING CHOPPED ALFALFA.
Question:: Our COWS do not eat the
alfalfa stems up clean. Would it be
wise to chop the alfalfa and mix it
with some other feed, such as bran
and shorts, or molasses? E. d. Y.
Enumclaw, Wash.
Answer: In short feeding test
conducted at the State Experiment
Station it was found that bran and
barley gave slightly better returns
than alfalfa molasses meal. There is
no question, however, but that the
cow can get more nourishment out of
the chopped alfalfa than from that
which is un-chopped, especially if
the hay is coarse. AS rule it does
not pay farmer to do his own grind
ing and mixing, unless he has cut
ter which may be used for other
purposes as we'll. At the experiment
station coarse alfalfa was put through
the ensilage cutter and afterwards
mixed with corn silage before feeding.
The COWS ate it with relish and left
none of the hay, whereas much of the
hay was left if fed alone and uncut.
HOLSTEIN FOR THE GENERAL
FARM.
Question: Do you consider the
Holstein as good breed for general
farm conditions? G. M. r. Mondovi,
Wash.
Answer: We consider the Holsteins
as good as any of the breeds for the
general farmer. They produce an
abundance of milk, and the calves
make very good veal. Fairly good
beef can also be made out of the
Holstein if desired.
WHEN TO CUT VETCH FOR
SILAGE.
Question:: Can you tell me the
proper time to cut wheat and vetch
for the siloY N. III. S. ChehaIis,
Wash
Answer: In order to have the
maximum amount of nutrients in the
silage the crop should be fairly we'll
ripened before it is cut. The wheat
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-06-15

should be kept pure and this is effect
ed by providing for plenty of window
space. Build the house in the sun
rather than in the shade.

vetch should be fully blossomed. If
put in too green sour silage will re-
suit. On the other hand il allowed to

mould.
RATION WITH DAT AND PEA
HAY.
Question: [ have oat and pea hay
for roughage and can get most any OF
the common grains. I have kale and
carrots for green feed. My COWS
weigh from $50 to 900 pounds and give
5 per cent milk. Will you please
balance ration for me? r. e. I'll.
Port Stanley, Wash.
Answer: The most economical
ration cannot be computed without a
statement of the cost of the feeds.
Good results could be expected, how
ever, from the following: Feed daily
from II to Is pounds of both the kale
and carrots; all the oat and pea hay
the COWS will clean up, and one pound
of grain for every three pounds of
milk produced. The grain should be
mixed as follows: Two parts bran,
one part ground oats, one part ground
barley and one part soy bean meal.
Dried brewers grain, or oil meal
may be used in place of the soy if de-
sired.
PLANNING A MILK HOUSE.
Question: [ am planning milk
house and would like to know where
to locate it, with respect to the other
buildings. Should it be near the
barn or the living house? W. |. G..
Colby, Wash.
Answer: We take it for granted
that milk is to be cooled and stored
in this milk house. 1t is therefore
necessary that it be built so that the
prevailing winds will not blow odors
of the barn toward the milk house.
but rather from it. 1t sh ould be con-
venient to the barn, but not connect
