CARRANzA FORCES
 HOLD MEXICO CITY
DIPLOMATIC CORPS NOT TO CAR RY OUT THREATS OF FIGHT
 ING IN STREETS.
HARRY K. THAW.

Washington - delayed cable gram from the Brazilian minister at Mexico City received by the State De partment stated that in evacuating the capital, after resisting as long as their ammunition lasted, the Zapata force had departed quickly, needing the ap' peals of the diplomatic corps not to carry out threats of fighting in the streets and vengeance on foreigners.
 Gen. Villa telegraphed Enrique C. Llorente, his representative here, that Queretaro, so miles north of Mexico City, has been captured by his troops, and that Gen. Obregon's Carranza forces were isolated from Vera Cruz.
 Restoration of normal conditions in Mexico by the newly established Car ranza authorities is going rapidly for ward, according to advices to the State Department.
 Reopening of the cable from Mexi- co City to Vera Cruz was announced In a message received from Consul General Shanklin at the capital and from Vera Cruz came the news that direct train service had been re- sumed and that supplies for Mexico City were being forwarded.
 Gen. Carranza, in a message to his Washington agents telling of the cap ture of Mexico City, stated that he had sent to the capital by special train all the personnel for the de partments of the treasury. interior and postoffce. that his government was engaged in sending provisions to the city and that ample guarantees would be given to everybody, whether native or foreign"

WEED SEEDS ARE EXPENSIVE
Many a Farmer Pays Dearly for Priv iIeee of Planting Something He
 Would Be Better Rid Of.

(By S B NUCKOLS. Colorado Expert
 ment Station)
 Many farmers are paying as much as dollar per pound for the oppOr- tunity to plant, on the farm, several pounds of weed seed each year. Oth- CTS do not pay as much for the oppor- tunity to SOW the seed but the cost of eradicating these weeds costs them many hours of labor and no small amount of money The manner in which they avail themselves of the opportunity varies but to give spe- cific and true example-an actual oc- currence
 Two samples of alfalfa seed are offered for sale, one for s20 per hun- dred and the other for S16 per hun dred. Sample No. 1 tests as follows:
 Weed seeds, none.
 Chaff and dirt. none.
 Termination, 94 per cent perfect.
 Sample No. tests:
 Weed seed, seven per cent, much of which is sweet clover which is not very noticeable to the average farmer.
 Chaff and dirt. two per cent.
 Termination, so per cent perfect.
 If you buy 100 pounds of No. 1 you get 94 pounds of seed that will grow at cost of S20, or a cost of s21.2S for 100 pounds of perfect seed
 For No. 2 you pay Sl6 for Fl pounds of perfect seed, or $22.54 for 100 pounds of perfect seed
 In the above case you pay S1.26 for the privilege of planting seven pounds of weed seed on your farm. Even greater variations than the above can be given. Every man should know how good the seed is that he is planting.

serum proportionate to the weight of the hog This gives an immunity last ing from three to six weeks. This method never hurts any hog, even If given in heavy overdoses.
 The serum-simultaneous is the same as the single treatment with the ad- dition of a small quantity of virus or blood containing the germs capable of producing cholera. This gives the hogs immunity for life, except pigs vacci- hated before eight weeks old.
 Some losses have been reported from the serum-simultaneous treat ment. They are the faults of methods or materials rather than the treat ment Poor serum of low potency and untested is the chief factor in

HARRY K. TRAW
 GIVEN LIBERTY
CROWD AROUND COURTHOUSE CHEERED THAW WILDLY
 WHEN HE APPEARED.
STATE WILL APPEAL CASE
Bail Was Fixed at S35,ooo To Insure His Presence at Future Pro-
 ceedines.

New York. Harry K. Thaw, ad- judged sane by jury, was given his freedom by Supreme Court Justice Peter A. Hendrick, who announced he had adopted the jury's verdict.
 The state immediately served no' tice of appeal and Justriee Hendrieh fixed Thaw's bail at S35,000 to insure his presence at future proceedings. A surety company was prepared to give the bond and Thaw was taken from the courthouse to the judges cham bers so that details might be ar ranged.
 A crowd around the courthouse cheered Thaw wildly when hc appear ed on the courthouse steps.
 In announcing his decision Justice Hendrick said:
 q have reached a decision in this case, and it is based on my own mind, fortified by the action of the jury
 Thaw, sitting comfortably in his chair, counsel on each side, his mother and his sister a few feet be- uluu lllilr dullCipdled tiio Souis o NS- cision with broad smile.
 "I want to say word about the alienists," Justice Hendrick continued. We have been told by one alienist that it is impossible to determine the sanity or insanity person without taking the word of alienists. This court and jury cannot depend upon the word of an alienist who for years has devoted himself to a case of this kind and assisted in its preparation. That a doctor can help prepare a case and then go on the stand as an expert wit ness is wrong.
 II hope Ine legislature wll find some means to correct this. Gentle men. I have adopted the verdict of the jury. I declare now that it is the decision of this court that Harry K. Thaw is sane" {.
 Edgar Bromberger. appearing for the State, gave notice of appeal. At a previous conference of counsel it had been made clear that should the court decide in Tkaw's favor the commit
 
 Matteawan in 1908 after he had been acquitted on the ground of insanity of the murder of Stanford White would not be formally vacated, but simply would cease to operate.
 Justice Hendrick decided that the States notice of appeal automatically acted as stay. John B. Stanchfield, of Thaws counsel. then moved that Thaw be given his liberty under bond.
 This motion was vigorously opposed by the State. Mir. Bromberger told the court he considered Thaw insane and menace to the community. Mir. Stanchfeld replied that Thaw had been adjudged sane and that to derry him bail virtually would nullify the courts decision until the appeal had been decided.

the failure of this treatment. Too low doses. or improper application of the serum are all causes of failure.
 Records kept on 10000 hogs show a loss of less than two per cent when treated by the simultaneous method. All were made immune, some for three years.
 Here are the facts in waging war on hog cholera by the simultaneous treatment:
 Hogs can be made immune.
 If healthy when treated. and if re-
 ole, tested serum is employed to- gether with good virus, there is no doubt that the serum simultaneous treatment is a success.
 Hog cholera serum in any process will give good results on healthy hogs, and better than nothing on sick ones. It must be remembered that hog chol- era serum is a preventive. not a cure.
 When serum is to be used. first get all the pigs together in a pen so they may be caught easily Too much exercise before injection is not good for the animal.
 Injection may be on inner side of Q rear leg or in armpit; either spot must be cleaned carefully, using first warm water and soap and following with alcohol or a three to five per cent solution of carbolic acid
 All vessels and instruments must be sterilized before use and the op- orators hands should be cleaned. dis infected and kept so.

TO KILL OFF GRASSHCpPERS
Burning Over Grass Lands Is Some times Practical--Poison Bran
 Mash Is Also Effective.

CBy A. l.. LOVETT. Oregon Experiment
 Station)
 Grasshoppers feed normally on the native grasses Where forage crops are planted, the hoppers readily adapt themselves to the new food. If an abundance of young hoppers is ob- served in the spring, the fields and grasslands where they occur should be dragged with hopper-dozer. This hopper-dozer is long, shallow gal vanized or wooden trough, which is filled with crude oil and along the back side is fitted back stop about three feet high. When it is dragged through the field, the hoppers attempt to jump over it. They strike against the back stop and fall into the crude oil
 Burning over the grass lands be- fore the hoppers get their wings is sometimes practical
 The poison bran mash is an effec- tive poison for grasshoppers, and has been used successfully for their con- trol in a great number of cases. Be sure to add the salt, since grasshop- pers appear especially fond of this material Broadcast the mash over an infected field or SOW in drill rows at right angles to their course of travel, as they enter the field The poison bran is prepared as follows: Coarse Bran. ................lb lb pounds Paris Green ---.............1 12 pounu Salt ...........,,..2 Z ounces Cneap Slrup ...--.-..

 Do not get the mash sloppy. It should fall apart readily in the hand after pressing together If lead arse nate is used instead of paris green. increase the amount one-half. The quantity given is sufficient to broad cast over one acre, or scattered III drill rows. will extend over a great CT area.

STANCHlONS FOR THE CALVES
Neiehbor Getting Part of His Mess and Will Drink Slowly.

Harmful results are frequently brought on in young calves by their drinking milk too rapidly and too much at time
 Feeding small quantities and often, which is the natural plan, is the way to avoid trouble from this source
 Where several calves run together stanchions for feeding may contribute to less rapid drinking, for with Etanchions the calf is not worrying about one of its neighbors getting part of his mess and is thus encouraged to drink more slowly.

BUYING NEW COWS FOR DAIRY
Animals Who Have Lest Capacity for Handling Home-Grown Roughage
 Should Be Avoided.

In buying new cows for the dairy one should buy from farmers who practice rational methods of feeding. preferably from those who do not feed too much grain and rich concen- trates
 Many cows have been fed so much grain that they have lost their ca pacity for handling homegrown roughage.
 Such cows are no longer profitable dairy producers and should be avoid ed when buying new cows for tho dairy.
