SHIPMENT OF FINE DAIRY COWS.

SEATTLE, Apr. 2.-Ascendancy
of Washington as dairying state and
the marvellous strides which have
been made in that industry during
recent years yesterday was indicated
by the Importation from the Atlantic
coast of large herd of pure bred
Holstein cattle valued at S25, 600.
The transaction was accomplished by
John F. Jansen, we'll known dairy
man and cattle breeder, who has two
large dairy farms.
Five express cars brought the ship
ment of 200 head, each car requiring
an expenditure of ST., GOO to insure the
safe arrival and care of the precious
stock. One bull calf six months old
and weighing $40 pounds was included
in the lot 1t is valued at 81, 600. On
both sides OF the calf's parentage the
dams we're credited with averaging 81
pounds OF butterfat in seven day
periods.
So strong was the demand for the
high grade and pure-bred animals
among dairymen that 70 head we're
sold on the day of arriva on the coast
and many others have been inspected
and approximated.
AS result of his spring trip, Mr..
Jansen was optomistic at the future
of tho dairvino husinaSS
1.-THE cattle industry is just awaken
ing,'' he said. ION the Atlantic side
| saw cases of COWS being purchased
for as high as SO, 600 and bulls for
$15, 600. Especially is the country
waking up to the Holstein strain. |
consider purchase of well-bred stock
today to be most excellent invest
ment.
1.-THE Holstein has been ordinarily
regarded as low butter tester be-
cause of the large flow of milk given,
1t is no more than fair to mention a
sale we made recently to HI. A. Kyer
of Augustine & Kyer of II Holsteins
which tested AZ. These cattle we're
of extraordinary merit and brought
5000 apiece, which is, so far as |
know, the highest price ever paid for
grade COWS in the Northwest. And
the COWS were worth it,.

, ing to say about red clover:
1t is better adapted to short rota-
ton than alfalfa.
1t eIriches the soil; adds humus.
1t yields large first cutting and fair
second cutting.
1t is rich in protein-hence, splen-
did crop for balanced ration.
It's introduction on the moister
wheat lands means more live stock,
richer soil. heavier yields of grain,
less waste lands, more and better
farm homes.
The following advice is given as to
the preparation of the soil:
1. Plow deep in the fall. Leave
the ground rough to increase mois-
ture. Allow it to weather and settle.
2. Harrow fall plowed ground as
early in the spring as possible to save
moisture and prevent crusting and
baking.
3. For next four to six weeks work
soil to preserve mulch, and keep down
weeds. Avoid deep cultivation.
4. Prepare fine seed bed with very
shallow, mellow surface.
5. Secure clean seed of high vital
ity. If in doubt send sample to
Botany Department., State College,
Pullman, for free test.
6. Sow the seed in May. Seed with
drill set to seed shallow. Sow SIX
pounds to the acre.
7. Do not SOW with nurse crop.
Good stands have been secured with
nurse crop, but results are uncertain.
8. Do not practice clipping or
pasturing till the clover is we'll estab-
lished. If weeds are bad, NOW with
cutter bar set high.
9. The season of seeding, only a
light crop is secured. The college
has secured full crops, from two to
two and one-half tons per acre, the
second and third years. 1t is usually
not profitable to let it stand over
three years
10. The Agricultural College wishes
to cooperate with the farmers in
testing this crop. It has grown red
clover successfully on the college
farm, all exposures for the past ten
years, and finds 1T profitable.

Nearly forty witnesses, among them
summoned when the Grand Jury Wed
nesday began examining the charges

and forced the case to climax after
innumerable delays.
Indictment ont Expected.
In spite of the number of witnesses
summoned The general fnlpression
about the courthouse was that no in

known that the general sentiment
among the grand jurors was to let
matters stand as they are and that
Crawford's death was too far in the
past to attempt TO fix responsibility

DR.. Roy Harris, secretary of the
State Board of Health and chemical

TELLSST0RY
Of JUDGE To
PR0bERS
Aged "Nemesis" Goes Into Re-
citaI Of His Fifteen-Year-0Id
Bankruptcy Case.

MACON, Jan. 21.-Colonel William
A. Huff, the S0-year- old ex- Mayor of
Macon, who has been called Judge
Speer's nemesis, was the FIRST wit
ness day before the committee of
Congressman probing the record Of
the Federal jurist.
1t was Colonel Huff who seventeen
months ago wrote open letters to
Judge Speer, attacking him both as
a judge and private citizen, and
guilty of contempt of court. Thus
far, however, sentence in this con-
tempt case has never been passed.
Colonel Huff's attack was inspired by
Judge Speer's course in the bank
ruptcy proceedings that have tied up
Ibis $4,000 estate since 1899. ~-a'..-s
Colonel Huff began his testimony
with a detailed recital of this cele-
brated bankruptcy case. reiterating
many of the charges contained in his
sensational letters of August, 1912.
Speer's Counsel Confident.
'9f no stronger evidence than that
already adduced is presented to the
investigating committee in support Of
the charges against Judge Speer, the
overwhelming vindication OF the jur-
ist is a matter of course" declared
his counsel to-day when the sub com
mittee of the House Judiciary Com
mittee began its third day of The
probe.
So far it has been shown that Judge
Speer waited seven months before
making a Supreme Court mandate
the judgment of his court. However.
this is a mere technicality, as the
Judge was prompted by sufficient le-
gal reasons"
Two witnesses have testified that
Judge Speer, while on the bench. is
arbitrary. oppressive, quick to take
sides. nagging and disagreeable. One
has sworn that his administration CT
the court has given dissatisfaction 10
lost confidence in the court.
Druggist Tells of Cocaine.
Louis Pellew, a druggist, swore
Tuesday afternoon that twice each
summer he sold Judge Speer one
ounce of three per cent solution Of
cocaine, ostensibly for use as hay
fever remedy. A physician has tes-
titled that the judges mentality Is
very normal.
Examiner r. G. Lewis, who made
the preliminary investigation, and
who is assisting the committee in
the hearing, states that the more i'm
portant witnesses will go on the stand
from now on. Among these are ex-
pected to be Attorney General T. S.
Fielder, w f. Simmons, OF Lawrence
vile, District Attorney Alexander
Alderman, and John NJ. Barnes, post
master at Thomson.
There still remains more than 40
specific charges yet to be sifted, and
nearly all of them are of q very seri-
Gus nature.
The opinion of the lawyers in at
tendance on the investigation Is that
so far the evidence has shown, for
the most part, that Judge Speer
abused his power, but stayed within

this very important and neglected
municipal improvement, 1t not only
has been the bane of existence Of

of endless worry to all citizens.
With the proposition approved by
Mayor Woodward and Councilman W.
c. Humphrey, chairman of the
Finance Committee, Councilman
Claude c. Mason announced Wednes-
day that he would introduce an or
dance at the next meeting OF Coun-
Gil providing for a new numbering
system.

the people, will Immediately respond.
Il have been thinking of taking up
this plan for some time, but have not
known just how to proceed. The CEN
fury plan of 100 numbers to the block
has been suggested, and 1t looks
feasible. However. the system OF
numbering the streets is merely a de-
tail, and can be easily worked out.
Evidence Of the willingness Of cit
liens to pay the cost of their num-
bers is most encoura ging. II won't
be but very small amount in each
case OF course. but with the city
treasury strained as it is to pay the
cost of providing numbers for every
house in Atlanta would be a burden
at this time
II believe TIE cost OF having the
proper surveys for the numbers made
will be borne readily by Council
Mayor Welcomes Move.
Mayor Woodward said that many
letters to him complaining about the
bewidering house numbering system
had caused him great deal of worry
and that he was glad the matter
had been taken up.
II will be glad to give 1t all the
support | cam" he said
Chairman Humphrey has had so
many requests for money that he de-
clared he hated to consider anything
new but that plan to give Atlanta
an intelligent numbering system, es-
pecially since the people seemed
willing to bear practically half the
cost, was worthy OF immediate con-
sideration by every member of Coun-
Gil, he said.
The Georgian will continue to pub
lish the coupons. IL you want your
house numbered so 1t can easily be
found, mail one in at once.
