Mystery Surrounds Death.

Lewis county authorities and news
papers have been considerably stirred
up during the past week over the
mysterious circumstances surround
ing the death September 1 in a Che
halls hospital, to which she had been
removed from the Lewis county jail.
of a Centralia woman, Barbara Taft,
who had been arrested August % by
the Centralia police on information
from Olympia that she was wanted
here on a forgery charge. The Gen.
tralia Hub says: "A story purport-
ing to come from the sheriff's Office
is to the effect that the woman was
q morphine flend and that she began
to suffer soon after being landed in
Jail; that the sheriff's Office appealed
to the deputy county physician to
give the woman a quieting injection
and that this was refused. The story
then goes on to state that after the
woman was at the point Of death she
was removed to the st. Helen's hos
pital where she was given an injec-
ton and died very soon afterward."

GREEN OATS FOR PIGS.

One and one-tenth cent per pound
saving in the production Of pork is
the result of seeding oats alone as a
forage crop for growing pigs. This is
valuable information from the North
Dakota experiment station. Every
farmer has oats in his bin. he is famil-
liar with every detail in the growth of
the crop. and it is an easy step for
him to provide a lot seeded to oats. In
comparison with dry lot feeding 4.3
pounds of grain We're required to pro-
duce ono pound of gain. While With
oats 80 pounds of grain We're sufficient
to produce one pound of gain with
pigs fOragin" on oats. However. the
station advises that rape has been
found superior to oats as forage for
hogs, both as to gains made by the pigs
and mount of feed produced per acre.

SLOW CREAM SEPARATOR.

\ good deal of loss of butter fat has
been occasioned by the fact that cream
%separators often are run at too low Il
speed. The manufacturers have deter
mined at what speed the machine will
run at highest efficiency, and this is
ordinarily marked on the crank. Most
farmers. however. merely estimate the
speed without timing themselves, and
according to official observations they
usually urn too slowly and lose from >

Calls Suffrage Convention.

Washington. May 3O.-Thc Congress.
sional Union For Woman Suffrage has
issued Il call for a convention Of wom-
an voters. to be held in San Francisco
next September, during the Panama
Pacific exposition. Mrs. O. II. =. Bel.
mont of New York has accepted the
craftsmanship of the committee to
make arrangements for the convcn-
ton. The call follows in part:
''Thc Congressional Union For WON.
an Suffrage is calling Il convention of
its members and friends in the suf-
traGe states to meet ut San Francisco
on Sept. II. Is and 1G. The D of
this convention is to mature plans for
definite political action on the part of
the women voters in support of the ma
tional suffrage amendment. There are
now approximately 4,OOO,OOO women
voters. One-fourth of the national sen.
ate, onc-sixth of the house of repre-
sentatives and one-tifth of the cleo
toral vote come from suffrage STATES.
With this leverage in congress the M
tional suffrage amendment could
speedily be passed if the women voters
would unite in its support. This con.
vention will attempt to devise plans
for united and effective action. 1t is
the first political convention of women
voters that has ever been called and is

matter where located. does not give
this branch of animal husbandry more
attention. writes S. S. Owen in the Ma
tional Stockman. OF course hogs will
not grow up like Topsy. but they will
come nearer doing SO than any other
farm animal. and herein is where they
make good. Hogs can be grown in any
OF our states. and there is always Il
good market for hogs and hog products
and at fair prices.
Men often Wran@lc over the question
of breed, and to us it seems foolish to
claim II breed to be far superior to
another. We are speaking of the stand
ard or we'll known breeds.
The farmer wants the kind of hog
that he can turn out in the grass and
clover fields and that will develop bone
and muscle while growing a crop of
corn or other grain to lay on the fat
when the hogs have attained the prop
er age and size to feed. We have no
variety of grass or clover that a hog
will not eat, and coWpeas. SOY beans
and peanuts are excellent for growing
and fattening hogs. Wheat middlings,
tankage, blackstrap molasses. etc, are
all good for feeding with corn to lay on
tat in a hurry.
Hogs are easily kept in good health,
but their enemies are worms and lice.
However, any good dip will get the
lice, and there are many home rene
finS like ashes rhc Ynnn1 rnJ,no,nc
ETC., that will help to destroy worms.

Silsqe For Ewes.

Almost any silage that is in good CON
dition is good as a succulent feed to
help in the making of milk, says the
Farm and Preside. But it must not
be expected to bring ewes up to lamb
ing unless in moderation and in CON
nection with dry food. \. good dry
ration consists of one-half pound oats
mixed with one-third its bulk of bran
and as much clover alfalfa or meadow
hay as the animals will eat. The half
pound of oats may gradually be in
creased to one pound. \ diet of silage
or any succulcnt feed given alone is
likely to produce weakness and lack
of stamina in the ewes and result in
Il small crop of poor lambs. Even
when the ewes and lambs 60 to pasture
it will pay to keep up a moderate grain
ration.

Ration Fer Work Horses.

Where alfalfa hay is available corn
alone will give very good results for
the work horses, and one pound of
grain daily for every hundred pounds
of weight will generally give good re
suits. In other words q horse weigh
ing 1000 pounds if fed ten pounds of
grain daily ana a reasonable ration of
hay three times Il day should be able to
do pretty good work and keep in good
flesh. \. 1000 pound horse will To-
qnirc approximately sixteen pounds of
grain 4 day.

Reindeer Meat Popular,

Washington, May 31.-Efforts to es.
tablish a new and profitable industry
among the Eskimo natives of Alaska
through the expectation of reindeer
meat are being made by the bureau of
education, with the cordial support of
Secretary Lane of the interior depart
ment. The meat of the reindeer is of
excellent quality and possesses a flavor
as fine almost as vcnison. Last au-
tumn, just before the close of naviga-
ton at Nome, Alaska, Il steamship car.
ried twenty-five carcasses of reindeer
to Seattle, where retail prices ranging
from 20 cents to 81 cents Il pound We're
readily obtained for them.
The dining car departments of five
transcontinental railways have given
reindeer meat Il trial, and it met with
instant favor among the
1t is likely a considerable amount of
the meat will be shipped to the United
States during the approaching sum
mel', as the proposal of a cold storage
company operating between Seattle
and Nome, bearing the approval of the
interior department, has been made to
the Eskimo herders in northwestern
Alaska to market all the surplus meat
at prices that will be profitable to the
natives.

PLANETS AND OUR WEATHER.

That the planets and the moon have
al effect upon the weather on the
earth is a common belief. This belief
is baseless, for all changes of weather
depend upon differences in temporal
ture.
Rainfall is due to the accumulation
of water in the atmosphere. This WA
ter can accumulate only by being evap-
GRATED from the surface of the earth.
And evaporation requires heat. Winds
also are due to Refrigerator warmth
In one place than in another causing
the air to rush toward where the warm
air is rising.
If the moon and the planets could
furnish heat they might affect the
weather. But the heat they furnish IS
so enthusiastically small that it is not
enough to change the temperature an
appreciate fraction of a degree. The
amount of heat they send us has actu-
ally been measured, but it needed the
most delicately sensitive Of instru-
ments to perceive it.

princes military training had only just
begun.
For a second time the 1.-the and slcn-
der subaltern stood before the great
field marshal. He had thrown himself
into his work with such enthusiasm
and patriotic feryor that now after only

ed by his commanding officer.
Earl Kitchener listened to what the
young man had to say. The British
war lord is stern and unbending. but
human. He knew the princes spirit
and talked with him as one soldier
with another. not from a personal but
from Il national point of view. 1t Went
without saying that the prince was
eager to fight and would do his duty
just the same as any other officer, TAX
ing his chances of being killed or
wounded with the rest.
That was not what was Worrying
Kitchener. He would mourn if any
thing happened to the Prince Of Wales.
but he knew that if the heir apparent
did get killed there were plenty of
other people to come to the throne of
England.

by hand rubbing. The rubbing perhaps
is the more important part OF the treat
ment. The milk, OF course, should be
removed frequently, using the milking
tube where it cannot be removed in
the ordinary manner. In many cases
the application of the hot water treat
