GIVE HOGS VARIETY OF FOOD
Essential to Satisfaction Of Animal
and Stimulates Digestive Organs
to Activity.

There are some very important con
siderations in feeding swine which
should not be lost sight of. The hog
by nature is an omnivorous animal
and readily eats a great variety OF
food.
Though domesticated for many
years, he has not lost his natural In
stincts and loves to roam the fields
and woods in search of various roots
and plants, and is not averse to eat
ing meat of various kinds whenever
opportunity affords.
This love of great variety of food
is SO deeply rooted in the hog as to
have made a permanent impression
upon the character of his teeth which
are adapted not only to the grinding
of grain, but also to the tearing
asunder of flesh. This of itself
should be sufficient to convince the
feeder Of the advisability of variety
in the ration of the hog, but the gen.
eral cultivation of corn, and its cheap
ness In years gone by, have led many
farmers to lose sight of this essential
matter.
Moreover, q variety OF food, while
essential to the satisfaction Of the an
final consuming 1t. stimulates the di.
gestive organs to greater activity,
which is most desirable end to attain
and this Of itself would amply reward
the feeder for taking greater pains and
effort to provide the hog with q greater
variety OF food suited TO its nutrition.

SECURE BEST RESULTS
Lettuce Ranks High in CONNER
CiaI Horticulture.
Size Of Seed Has Not Been Given
Careful Study Until Recently
Heading Up" Capabilities Are
of Much Importance.
(By NJ. CUMMINGs)

Lettuce is a standard vegetable
crop, largely grown in farm gardens
and ranking high In commercial horti-
culture as a forcing CROP hence its
inclusion in these seed sorting expert
ments. Although a seed-bed crop, 1t
is often grown in places where space
is expensive, where intensive culture
prevails, and where crop uniformity
and even maturity are of prime i'm
portance On this account growers
now carefully consider both seed and
varietal choice. In some dollhouse
districts only certain varieties are
deemed suitable for greenhouse cul-
ture; and few progressive growers
select only the locally-grown seed now
recognized as strains of commercial
varieties. Although many methods of
seed selection have been adopted, the
influence of seed size has not been
given careful study until more or less
recently.
Since lettuce is seldom sold by
weight. comparison of the value of
Differentiated seeds on this basis is
Of little account. Uniformity of ma
turing and relative ''heading-up"
capabilities are of more Importance.

CUTS NAME TO YORK.
Town Drops on Long Kept "Ville."
Campaign Very Warm.

York, May, 25.-By vote of 125
to so the citizens> of Yorkville decid-
ed today that the second syllable of
the towns name should be detached
and that henceforth it should be
known as York, instead of Yorkville.
The vote polled was unusually
large for this place, the election be-
ing the elimination of one of the
warmest municipal contests in the
history of the town. Even those most
conversant with local politics were
unable to forecast the outcome with
any degree of certainty and the mat
ter was in doubt until the votes were
counted.
The movement to change the name,
which was launched several months
ago, had been discussed from every
possible angle and every conceivable
argument pro and con had been ad-
vanced. AS a general thing the busi-
ness men of the town favored the
change, but there were numerous ex-
ceptions and many Of the older citl-
zens opposed the movement for senti-
mental reasons.

THE GREATEST RAILROAD.
Africa's Famous Cape to Cairo Line

When all the great railroad trunks

Pan-American, from the arctic waters

the Transsiberian, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific across northern Europe
and Asia; the Transpersian or some
other line, from the southeast OF
Europe to India, and the Cape to
Cairo.
The Pan-American and the 1ndo-
European railways may surpass the
Cape to Cairo as commercial arteries,
and the Transsiberian will doubtless
figure more potently as a stragetlc
line, but for the sheer interest Of the
country traversed-for the pic

of the panoramas running like dou-

NOTE ON COTTON CARGOES.
British Ambassador Says Agreements
Were Not Made by Government.

Washington, May PA formal
statement designed to clear up mis-
understandings over the participation
by the State departments foreign
trade advisers in unofficial arrange
ments regarding cotton cargoes was
handed the department today by Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, the British am
bassador. 1t says the British govern
ment quite realize that these unof-
fetal arrangements in no way involve
the United States government"
Following is the text of the ambas-
sador's statement:
The arrangements with regard to
shipments of cotton and other ar
ticles of commerce were agreed on
between representatives of the Brit
ish government and the representa-
tives of the American interests con-
cerned. The government of the Unit
ed States was in no sense party
in these agreements and took no part
in the conferences. The British gov
ernment quite realize that these un-
official arrangements in no way COM
nit either government to any depart
ure from the views which they have
already expressed in their official
notes with regard to the declaration
of March /, and the blockade policy
adopted to give effect to it.
A memorandum issued by the Brit
ish Office several days ago was con-
strued here as intimating that un-
official participation by the State de-
partment's foreign trade advisers IA
arrangements for concessions to
American cotton shippers committed
the United States government to ac-
quiescence in the course pursued by
the allies toward neutral commerce.
AS a result, conferences between the
trade advisers and officials of the
British embassy were abruptly halted.
In official quarters here it is un-
derstood that the misconstruction OF
the American position was due to
some officials in London. and today's
statement from the British foreign
office fully clears up the matter.

CONCRETE BEST.
Edison Will Not Stand for Any Mis-
representation.

Thomas A. Edison gave out the fol-
lowing letter recently, regarding the
fire in the Edison plant:
The Detroit Brick Manufacturers
and Dealers association is distribut-
ing throughout the United States a
pamphlet entitled, THE Edison Fire,
the contents consisting of a reprint
of an article appearing in a trade
journal, The Clay Worker The en-
tire purpose of this publication is to
discredit, and if possible, retard the
use of reinforced concrete in the con-
struction of freproof buildings.
The results of the fire at my plant
on December 9, are used in an entire
~ false and misleading manner. or
the seven reinforced concrete build
ings none was destroyed. A small
section of the upper floor was sup
ported by the lower house. The pam
phlet referred to presents three views
of this, the suggestion being that they
were of three different buildings.
The brick administration building
which remains standing, was protect
ed by an adjacent concrete building
and was not subjected to the fire.
Every brick and steel building
which was attacked by the fire was
completely destroyed, together with
all the machinery they contained,
while the damage done. to the con-
crete buildings amounted to about
12 1-2 per cent, and of the machinery
contained in the concrete buildings
9S per cent. was saved and is now
in operation. Manufacturing was re-
sumed in some of the old concrete
buildings within a few weeks after
the date of the fire.

SAYS BECKER MUST DIE
:AFFIRMS SECOND CONVICTION
OF NEW YORKER.
Possible That Former Lieutenant Will
Seek to Save Life by Reveal
ing Secrets.

Albany, y. Y, May 25.-Charles
Becker, the former New York police
lieutenant, must die in the electric
chair at Sing Sing within the next six
weeks for the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, the New York gambler, by
four gunner July 16, 1912, unless
Gov. Whitman or the United States
supreme court intervenes. The court
of appeals Of New York today affirm
ed Becker's conviction by supreme
court jury at his second trial several
months ago.
Executive clemency for Becker is
regarded as remote. AS district at
torney of New York county, the pres
ent governor prosecuted the former
police lieutenant both times.
Speculation is rife as to whether
Becker, facing death, will not seek
to save his life by making revelations
in connection with the so-called "po-
lice system" in New York to the gov
ernor. Regardless of his connection
with the Rosenthal case, Becker is
believed to possess information that
would be invaluable to State and
New York city officials. The state
ment has been made frequently that
the trial of Becker and the four gun
men who shot Rosenthal on.y scratch
ed the surface of the true conditions
in New York police circles.
I'VE DESIRE" the prevailing opin-
ion of the court said, that the views
which led us to affirm this judgment
shall be made unmistakably clear.
Doubtless a very strong argument
can be made in favor of defendant
based upon the inducement Of the
avowed accomplices to swear falsely,
their opportunity to fabricate evi-
dence and the lack of conclusiveness
in corroboration.
All this, however, was a ques-
ton for the jury, whose determina-
ton we are not justified in interfer-
ing with unless We can say that it
was plainly wrong-which, as al
ready stated, we cannot say"
Among other striking conclusions
of the opinion were these:
There was nothing to indicate that
the gunner were actuated by any
personal hostility toward Rosenthal.
They were simply murderers for hire.
Upon the truth or falsity of their
testimony to this effect then depends
the guilt or innocence of Becker.
That the testimony of various wit
nesses regarding the Harlem con-
ference" at which Becker and others
are said to have planned the death
of Rosenthal, was corroborated and
therefore must be assumed to be
true.
One judge dissented.
