RUSSIAN PAPERS
URGE WAR BY U. S.
Say Fight to Punish Germans
Belongs First to American
Republic.

London, May l0.-"The Morning
Post" correspondent at Petrograd says
columns are devoted in every organ Of
the Russian press to the sinking OK
the Lusitania in an effort 70 find
adequate terms for the expression Of
the depths Of horror and mitigation.
The "Novoe Vremya" heads It's article:
THE Beast from the Bottomless Pit
and comes TO the conclusion that q
curse overhands the German nation.
II continues:
"They have completed their appoint
ed circuit in history and will now be
hurled headlong into the b0ttomless
pit which they digged themselves"
In another article in the same paper
is advocated the general adoption By
the Allies Of German principles and
practices, arguing that Germans them
selves are most likely to fear the et.
fects of the terrorism they invented
for others.
The Bourse Gazette says:
cot all abominable deeds OF German
piracy this crime is most astounding,
both for the number of its victims and
its peculiar circumstances" This ar
ticle is devoted 10 showing that En-
peror William is personally responsi.
bic for the whole series Of deeds that
shame the world.
The Courier" strikes an original
note in an article headed: the Muir
derers of the Lusitanla." Il says:
The Germans have turned war into

They are not content with killing their
foes. but must murder every living
thing they have a chance 70 destroy
Such being the case, II wants no very
lively Imagination to appreciate what
Americans will think Of this wholesale
murder. not because American citizens
have suffered, but because q blow has

not the least blow against the priB-

CARRANZA GENERAL.
ABHORS SINKING
Declares Even Mexico
Would Not Torpedo Ship
Carrying Neutrals.

/ "The Mexicans have been accused
/ Of every crime under the sun. While
/ do not care 20 express any opinion
on the act Of torpedoine the Lusi-
tania, | emphatically assert that in
my capacity Of commander Of the
armed forces Of Mexico, never would
give an order to sinh ship carry
ing -combatants, even though my
attitude cost my cause serious set
back" said General Ignacio l.. Pes
guerra, Secretary Of War Of the Car
rama government.
He sat in his room at the McAlpin
Hotel, resting after his long railroad
journey from Key West, where he
landed Sunday from the Moro Castle.
With him were his two aids, Manuel
J. Urea and Jose Peuedo. Ccntinu-
ing, General Pesquira said:
in the case of vessel sailing the
seas under the same conditions as
the Lusitania, Mexico would certain
~ sink the ship if she were laden
with war supplies, but only after the
passengers had been allowed 70 take
TO their boats. Whenever we have
bombarded a city in Mexico we al
ways have established a neutral zone
where on-combatants were perfectly
safe. This can be verified By those
who know, and if civilian lives have
been lost it has been because they
refused to leave the fighting area"
Asked how the cutting Of Of the
supply of arms and ammunition in the
event Of a war between the United
States and Germany would effect Mex
lean conditions, the general s'nlled
broadly and declared, "If that happens,
Mexico will be paciied and under the
control of Carranza within ninety
days"
in exclamation of his statement Cen
eral Pesoueira said that the Carranza
government had facilities for making
a certain amount of ammunition IN
Vera Cruz, while If the supply Of arms
were cut off from Villa, his cause
would be lost.
The purpose Of his visit to the
United States, he said. was TO purchase
four vessels which could be converted
into gunbOats and transports. Ihree
of these would be assigned TO the east
coast Of Mexico and one to the west
coast That would bring the number

at any time since 1912 said General
Pesqueira, "and am thankful. Mexico
wants peace. We want to build up

that Mexico may take her proper place
in the world"
On the steamer from Vera Cruz was

GERMANS NOT SAFE
IN ENGLISH STREETS
Enraged by Lusitania Sinking,
British Expel Naturalized
Citizens from Exchanges.

London, May l0.-Horrifed and en-
ragged by the sinking of the Lusitania,
England is turning against the natural
lied Germans within her boundaries.
Laws have been passed by many eX-
changes here and in other cities for
bidding members born in Germany,
Austria or Turkey to do further bust
ness in them. Shops with German
names have been raided by MODS, and
il is no longer safe for persons of leu
tonic origin TO appear on the streets.
In front of the Stock Exchange to-
day three hundred British members
stood for several hours with the deter
mlnation to prevent all members born
in the enemy's countries from taxing
their seats. They were surrounded by
huge crowd which howled threats
against Germany and her allies. The
few naturallzed Germans who did APP
pear were hustled away and warned
not 70 return.
Frenzied members Of the Baltic Ex-
change voted to-day TO exclude here
after all members of German, Austrian
or Turkish birth until further notice.
This resolution was later amended 70

age. or those who had no sons fighting

All nursery stock received in the

the meat is at present sold under the
name of Angora mutton, for prices
slightly higher than those paid for
cheap mutton. The meat of the An
CORA is preferable to hat of the CON-
mon goat. A venison-like flavor is
given to goat meat when the animals
browse upon various wild shrubs.
This gamy flavor, however, is not so
noticeable when the animals are fed
upon cultivated plants. Very little
use is made of the milk of goats in
this country, but analyses show it to
be of high nutritive value, and it al
be used in the manufacture Of cheese.
The presence of Angoras or other
goats in bands of sheep is said to be
a source of protection to the sheep,
since goats will defend themselves
and the entire herd against attacks of
dogs or coyotes.

POIs0Ns OF JOHNSON GRASS
All Fodder Plants Related to Sor-
qhum Must Be Used With Discre-
ton az Feed for Stock.

By G. H. GLOVER. Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
Johnson grass is closely related to
sorghum. Poisoning of cattle from
sorghum and kafir corn is well known.
After chemical analysis of many
plants Brunnich gave the following
advice: "All fodder plants related to
sorghum must be'used with discretion
in either the green or dry state and
should not be given in large amounts
to animals which have tasted for some
time" The poison in these plants is
hy~drocyanic acid. Poisoning usually
occurs when the plants have made a
stunted growth from drought and are
eaten in large quantities, when the
animals are very hungry.
Animals poisoned in this way usu-
ally die within half an hour and some
times live only a few minutes. Hydro
cyanic acid is the most deadly Of poi
son and in large doses kills almost
instantly. Animals usually die sud
denly from paralysis Of respiration
and before medical measures can be
thought of or prepared for use.

CUTTING CORN FOR THE slLo
Wait Until Kernels Are Glazed or
Dented-if Thought Too Dry
Water May Be Added.

There is considerable of the nu-
TRENT material lost in cutting silage
corn too early. Corn should not be
cut for this purpose until the ker-
nels are nearly all glazed or denied.
AT this stage it viii usually be noted
that the lower blades are brown and
dry. If it is thought that the corn
is a little too mature. water can be
added.
Experiments have shown that corn
slower tdry stalks without the ears)
can be ensiled if an equal weight of
water is added as the slower is being
cut. The silage should be we'll
tramped as the sYo is being filled, es.
pecially so around the walls. This
Is done to exclude as much air as pos
sible. For the average man, the steam
engine Is easier to run than is a gaso.
line engine. and not as many de-
lays will be made in filing the silo.
Where a number Of men and teams
are employed, a stop Of even a few
minutes is costly. After the filing
OF a silo is completed, it is a good
Idea to wet the top down thoroughly,
after which it should be tramped once
q day for a week or ten days. This
procedure will save several tons of
otherwise spoiled silage.
