Seasonal Su questions

At last the snow is gone and the farm.
ers are all busy. Most of them have a
lot OF manure to get out before beginning
to plow.
Although it is getting late, every farm
er can find time to prune the few old
apple trees around his house. On the
old trees, the saw is the only tool needed.
Take out all dead and diseased branches !;
also thin out those which are too thick or
cross each other. Cut off all limbs close
to the body of the tree and paint all
scars over one inch in diameter. Remove
most OF the water spouts, but where they
are very thick leave few to grow into
branches. Thin enough to let the sun
light and air in all around, but don't
leave too large an opening so that the
sun will scald the body of the tree. Dom {
cut off only the lower limbs because they
are easy to reach, thin the top Just as
much.
1t is especially important to thin the
young trees. A jack-knife or hand clip
pers are best for this. Be careful that
the branches left are we'll distributed and
cut back about one half OF last seasons
growth. This should make the tree
strong and bushY.
l would urge more OF the farmers to
set out young trees. They should not
cost over 25c apiece. Young trees are
easily cared for; they will bear better
than the old trees and replace them
when they are gone.
Now is also the time to improve the farm
poultry. Day-old chicks or Matching
eggs may be obtained at very reasonable
price from our state experiment station.
Pure bred fowls are just as healthy AS
scrubs; they will look better and Law
more eggs. 1t would be a rare man who
would be willing to keep scrub birds,
after once having kept thoroughbreds.
l expect to keep Saturday as office day.

Some one has said that there was not
one among the number who gathered at
Parkersburg for the amalgamation meet
ing who was not either an ex-office-
holder, office-holder or an oflice-seeker.
Is there any one who will be called upon
to help pay the million and one-half dol
lars deficit and the Virginia debt which
the Republican machine has created for
us believe that such men were prompted
by patriotic motives or the good of the
people when they gathered in Parkers-
burg? Hardly. The sole motive was to
continue themselves in public office at
the expense of the taxpayers.

JAPAN REFUSED TO BE
MExlco's DIPLOMATIC
REPRESENTATIVE

Washington, April 29.-The Japan
csc government, 1t has developed, was
asked and declined to act for the
Huerta administration through its dip.
lomatic representatives in Washing
ton and its consuls in the United
States, prior to Mexicos application
to Spain to perform this mission,
which was accepted.
While the Japanese embassy de-
clines to confirm the report, 1t is
known to be. well founded and to
have given great satisfaction to Pres
ident Wilson's administration as a
significant expression of Japans good
will and friendliness toward the Uni
ted States. The purpose of Japan's
action is understood to have been
desire to preserve the strictest neu-
trality between the United States and
Mexico as outlined in the recent dec
laration of Count Okuma, the new
Japanese premier, made at Toxic.
The undertaking on the part of Jap
an to act In the interest of either
party was felt to be open to the con-
struction of being an expression of
favoritism which 1t was desired to
avoid by an attitude Of strict neutral
fly.
Among those informed Of General
Huerta's first choice Of Japan to rep,
resent Mexico in the United States,
the move was construed as anAttempt
on his part to align one of the great
world powers with his administration
and thus to accomplish q master
stroke in diplomacy.

CHEMIS! FINDS
STRYCHN|NE
IN EATABLES

Brigham City, April 29-County At
torney William J. Lowe has Just re-
cesved from State Chemist Harms a
lengthy report of the result Of his ex.
animation in the case of mysterious
deaths at the Grandpre Hotel in vii.
lard, this county. two weeks ago, with
every evidence Of poisoning.
The chemist says that In the stom.
ach Of A. J. Thomas, the man who
died under such suspicious crcum.
stances. he found 1 "a grams Of
strychnine. In the stomach of the
hog, which also died after eating Of
the scraps from the table, ne found
IA grains of strychnine. I'm the
package of cooked mush which had
been thrown out as refuse from the
table, he found 1 1-5 grains Of strych-
nine. In the package of sugar, taxi
en- from the sugar bowl out of which
the mush had been sweetened after
coming to the table, he found two
grains Of strychnine. In the package
of cooked mush taken from the kitch-
en-, he found no poison; ana IN the
package of uncooked mush there was
none. The chemist points out that
these amounts of poison recovered
are very large, and says they might
be even called excessive.
The county attorney has not yet
decided what further steps 10 take.
The cause Of death in the case Of Mr..
Thomas and the pig is definitely fix
ed; but how the strychnine came to
be in the sugar, or when and by whom
1t was put there, remains as much
mystery as ever.
