THOUGHT TOO LATE

Washington, d. C.-Aug. 6.-Pres.
offered the services of the United
States government to the warning ma
tions of Europe should they desire
now or at any future time in the con-

rendered what is technically phrased
as good Offices" which, if accepted
in principle, would be followed by a
conference of representatives of the
powers of Europe in which the Unit
ed States would play the role of me-
diator.

which European nations except Ser

governments, and urged acceptance of
the tender The Austrian ambassador,
representatives of the British, Rus

and Belgian legation called at the de,
partment.
{. Treatries Are Approved.
The central theme of mediation,
which is to suspend hostilities without
ceasing military preparations and dis
cuss peace in a calm and conciliatory
spirit, is embodied in twenty peace
treaties drafted by Secretary Bryan,
which were favorably reported by the
senate committee on foreign relations
on Wednesday. Action was taken on
them at this time with the hope of
exerting a moral influence for peace
in the present situation
The treaties would provide an in

causes of disputes within a period of
six months or more before resorting
to arms.

Army Withdraws.
The Germans charged, but could
not carry the Belgian position and
finally the entire army was withdrawn
toward the Meuse The Belgian tdoops
engaged had been hurried forward
from Liege to reinforce the border
patrol The Germans advanced along
the railway in an armored train. The
Belgians had posted artillery in posi-
ton to command the railroad and in
addition had mined the track at a
point where the road crossed Gull
vert.
Blow Up Train.
When the train was squarely on
the bridge the mine was exploded
completely destroying the locomotive
and the two forward cars filled with
Germans At the same time the Bel
mainder of the German force which
had been conveying the train. The
carnage was fearful. The Germans,
although caught by surprise, put up
a strong resistance, but they had no
supporting artillery and finally retreat
ed toward the frontier. In the mean
time a Belgian column had been rush
ed toward the rear of the German
position and the two regiments COM
posing the assaulting column were
caught in a trap.
Join Belgian Army.
1t is announced here that the French
army has effected a junction with the
Belgian army at Journal, point
thirty-five miles west of Liege. From
now on it is expected that the Belgian
and French armies will operate to-
gether. England also is now expected
to send an army to Belgium's aid and
the attempted invasion of the German
forces will be met by very strong al
lied army.

HOG RAISING
COST DISCUSSED
Feeds Compared and Ration Proposed
for Cheapest Possible Pork
Production.

Raising hogs cheaply IN Brazos
County IS a disputed question. A good
many farmers claim they can buy
bacon cheaper ,han they can raise IT,
Such IS the case when hogs are
penned and fed a ration OF corn or
other hich priced feedstuns. Il used
10 be a fact that cattle fed on cotton.
seed meal over ninety days would
sooner or later go blind. This was
when meal was very cheap and large
quantities were fed and wasted. Now
milch cows are fed a moderate ration
Of FIVE pounds TO seven pounds a day
for years and never show any bad ef-
fects from f.
It is a general opinion that hogs fed
cottonseed meal any length OF time
would die. Experiments under certain
conditions have proven such to be a
fact Yet there are thousands OF hogs
being fed a ration OF cottonseed meal
every day with the best results.
A d. Locke fed three pigs eight
months on a ration Of cOttonseed meal
and slops from his house, withou, any
signs OF bad effects. and the pigs
made a good and economical gain
These pigs ran on an oat pasture until
Il died down and after that only had
poor patch Of Bermuda grass IA
forage on. II a patch Of sorghum had
been planted to furnish green food
after the oats a much better Showing
would have been made.
Mr.. Locke put one pound Of cop
peras in fifty gallons Of water, He
fed one gallon OF this mixture to eacl
pound OF meal fed. Whether this COP
peras distributed any toxic effect o
the meal, that Is. II II had any, he doe
not know, but copperas is a good toni
and appetizer and is so cheap tina
everybody should feed It even II n,
cottonseed meal is fed
These pigs in eight months gaine'
only 100 pounds, weighing 2iO pound
each, and we're bought by Cloud 4
Nichol for &c per pound, bringing
$3.50 each.
II they had been fed in connection
with the meal a ration Of corn or rio,
bran the gain would have been great
er, but at a greater cost per pounC
gain.
Mr.. Locke's plan was to produce
pork as cheaply as possible and figur
ed II cheaper to feed longer a ratiol
of meal and slops rather than fee,
