A mistake made by great many
farmers in South Carolina is to have
their cows calve during the spring
months. All authorities on dairying
are agreed that for many reasons 1t
is more profitable to have cows calve
in fall. The principal advantages of
fall calving are four in number and
are stated below.

The cure OF a kicker" Is difficult

Intellectual. 1t may arise from vice
or from excessively nervous disposi-
ton. One of the common appliances
used is to swing a bale of straw be-
hind the horse so that he may kick
until he is tired without doing injury
to himself. The bale will swing to
and fro and irritate to the point of
persuasion that there are more profit
able vices than kicking.

Bio Waste of Manure.

It is really crime the way some
farmers are permitting the escape into
gullies and creeks of so much manure.
The records show that constant culti-
walton depletes the fertility of the
SOL, and the farmer who allows this
valuable soil builder to escape is the
one whose farm soon becomes bar
rem. Preserve the manure.

British Reply to Be Friendly

Washington, Jan. 4.-Sir Cecil
Springrice, the British ambassador,
called at the state department today
for the first time since the American
note Of protest on shipping was sent
to Great Britain. He conferred with
Counselor Robert Lansing.
Though he had received no instruc-
tons as yet concerning the answer
which is to be made to the American
note, the British ambassador indicat-
ed that it would be of most friendly
character. 1t is understood that Sir
Cecil regards the American note as
moderate in tone compared to the
usually peremptory and mandatory
tenor OF notes Of this kind passing
between neutrals and belligerents in
times of war.
That Sir Edward Grey, in his talks
with Ambassador Page, similarly
showed that England received the
American note in most amicable
spirit and intended to ameliorate the
shipping situation so far as was pos
sible to do so, was learned today
from high officials here.
Another development which is re-
garded as affording a solution of one
OF the points under dispute between
Great Britain and the United States
is the decision OF the Washington ad'
ministration to certify American car
goes, as to the exact contents before
leaving American ports. Secretar.
les Bryan and Redfeld and Acting
Secretary Peters OF the treasury de.
partment conferred today on the for
mutation OF a circular to be Issued
tomorrow urging cooperation between
American exporters, shippers and
the government in regard to the man
ifests of neutral ships used to carry
American cargoes.

ITALY ACCEPTS

London, Jan. l.-The British gov.

concerning contraband probably vii
be sent before the end of this week
An outline of the reply has been suo
mitted to France, which is greatly
interested because OF the acti lazy Of
the French ships in searching Med {.
erranean cargoes.
a statement probably will be issued
shortly, showing that italy has az.
rived at an understanding with Eng
land and the other allies concerning
oontraband, satisfactory to all the
countries affected.
1t can be stated authoritatlvely that
only five cargoes destined for Italy
haze been stopped at Gibra, tar since
November 10. Two of these were re-
leased within three days and the 9th
crs as soon as the alleged con;ra
hand could be removed. Since De-
cember no cargoes destiacI for
Italy have been intercepted Dy the
allies.
Rubber to Be Bought or Released
Rubber cargoes destined 70: An
erican firms and held in English ports
probably will be released soon or
purchased by Great Britain which
needs much rubber for the manufac-
ture OF tires. bed blankets and boots.
Constant negotiations are IN pro
gress between the allies AMI the reu-
trail European countries situated near
Germany looking to tightening cf
the export regulations which will pre-
vent American shipments FROM reach
ing Germany and Austria through
neighbor!ng countries other than
Italy.
A loosening OF the regulations ap
plying to American cargoes, it Is said
by British officials, will depend large
ly upon the assurances received from
neutral countries that they will not
assist in supplying Germany, Austria
and Turkey with munitions OF war.

so much as he informs, 1 would like
him to explain why, at the same time
he was bidding $1,000 for combina-
ton wagons in Harrisburg, he is on
record as having offered exactly the
same combination wagons TO Williams
port at $4,000, with freight paid to
that city. In addition he would have
been at the expense of sending a dem
onstrator to Williamsport and the in
cidental expenses would have run
down the bid for Williamsport to
about $3,700, or $500 less for the same
machine in Williamsport than he
wanted to charge his own home town.
If this is local patriotism l want none
of it.
But further than this, Dunkle's
manager, Mr.. Morton, previous to the
submission of bids, assured me in my
office in the presence of the assistant
fire chief. that his company having all
the plans and preliminaries made,
could now sell combination wagons to
the city at a profit for $340O each.
Why then does the company. ask
$4,000, If its management is imbued
with so much local pride and patriot
ism?
Il wish also to pronounce as an
absolute falsehood the assertion that
the Morton apparatus now in posses
sion of the city has never cost any
thing for repairs. On three separate
occasions 1 forced the Morton people
to make extensive repairs to the
Friendship wagon and members of
that company say the apparatus never
will be satisfactory to them. Before
the machine had been run any length
OF time new rear springs had to be
put in.
And finally. suspect that Mr.. Dun
kle's real reason for opposing me is
that he desires the election of E. u.
Gross, who is closely identified with
the Morton company, and the other
Democratic candidates for council.
Shrewd Mr.. Dunkle, it occurs to me,
would like to have a friend at court
when the city begins the expenditure
of about $4,000 more for fire appara-
tus during the next two years.
ut is true that the Morton company
is local concern. and 1 believe in
favoring Harrisburg industries where
ever possible, but at the same time
am the servant of the city, and in any
contracts the city must be considered
first. That is the reason l made my
recommendations for fire apparatus as
/ did"

OLDEST GAME
WARDEN IS DEAD
Joseph Berrier, Survivor of
Many a Black Hand
Letter, Dies

Joseph Berrier, Oldest warden in the
service of the State Game Commits
sion and the survivor of half a hun
dred threats from "black handlers, -
game poachers and law violators died
at his home on the River Front in this
city last evening. Mr.. Berrier was
fifty-four years of age and the last
fifteen were spent in the service of
the State.
For several years Mr. Berrier was
a travelling game protector, having
been given rouSing commission be-
cause of the manner in which he had
broken up violations in many parts
of the State. Always noted for his
great strength and fearlessness he had
attracted notice of men identified with
the State Game Commission soon after
it was created in 1895 and when DR..
Joseph Kalbfus became secretary he
had Berrier run down some fiagrant
violations. There were not many
funds available for game protection
then, but Berrier gave of his time
freely and spent many a week chasing
game law violators at his own ex-
pense. He was C m m / i o n e d
February 1, 1900.
Joe worked many a day and many
to-day. HE paid his own expenses
and did splendid work for the State
for which he was never paid. I had
the utmost confidence in him and
what he did to stop low breaking
would fill book. From the time he
was commissioned he was never off
the job"
Berrier got many threats and kept
a collection of Black Hand letters. He
never minded them and never got
hurt. One man in Sullivan county
made knife out of file especially 20
'cut Beeg joe" Berrier arrested him
without a gun. One of his feats was
arresting six men in Mifiin county.
He got them two at time and chain
ed them to trees. Then he handcuffed
all together and marched them to
jail.
Often Berrier spent week or more
in the woods, camping out, waiting for
game law violators and caught them
red handed. He disarmed hundreds
of foreigners who carried arms in de-
fiance of State law.
Funeral services for Mr.. Berrier
will be held Wednesday afternoon al
2 o'clock at his home, the Rev. e. E
Curtis. pastor of Westminster Presby-
terian church officiating. Mr.. Berrier
is survived by his wife and four sons
Joseph, John, James and Theodore.

CHINESE REJECT
POWERS REQUEST
Plan to Postpone Decision to
Re-establiSh Monarchial Gov
ernment Is Opposed

Peking, Nov. 1.-The Chinese gov
ernment to-day rejected the proposals
Of Japan, Great Britain and Russia for
postponement of the decision whether
a monarchical form of government is
to be re-established.
The decision of the Chinese gov
ernment was made known by Tsao
Yulin, vice minister of foreign affairs.
He called at the British, Russian and
Japanese Legations and informed the
ministers the Chinese Government had
been advised by provisional officials
that they would be able to maintain
tranquility during establishment of
the monarchy.
Taso Yulen thanked the powers for
their friendly interest in the welfare
of China. He said the decision con-
cerning a change in the form of gov
ernment was wholly in the hands of
the people and that therefore it would
be impossible to adopt the suggestion
for a postponement.
