Brig. Gen. Geo. Bell, .Jr., COM

officials here who believe rumors of
Herrera's detection. Declined to

Police arrested Emilio Valenzula,
publisher of Ell Constitution, Mex

with printing editorials seeking to
arouse hatred for Americans by Mex

AMERICAN TROOPS CIRCLE VILLA-MEXICAN
FEDERALS LOYAL TO CARRANZA

FEDERALS LOYA
FL Paso, March 24.-Villa is sur
rounded and may be engaged by
American troops today. According
to message from Col Francisco Ber-
TAM, after his column had routed
Villas force just east of Namiquipa
in the Santa Clara canyon, Villistas
were surrounded by victOrs and by
U. S. soldiers under Gen. Pershing.
CarTanza Consul Garcia, who made
public Bertani's report, stated there
was no possible chance of Villa cut
ting his way out and that his cap
ture was momentarily expected.
Those familiar with Villa tactics
and his hatred for Americans believe
he will never be taken alive and that
his entire command may be wiped
out in the predicted fight.
Bertani reported that in preimina-
ny engagement Villistas retreated to
FL Oso, five miles south of Namiqui-
pa, after losing several killed and
about 100 horses captured. Ameri-.
can troops in touch with Carranzis-
tas surrounding Villa believed to be
either Col. Dodd's cavalry column or
Pershing's men who got behind Villa
by railroad trip from Casas Grandes
southwark.
Report of Villas whereabouts did
not exactly fit with story brought by
Garcia Flores, reputable Spanish
business man of Chihuahua City,
who declared on his arrival in FL
Paso that Villa held up a Mexican
National train at Moctezuma, near
ly 100 miles east of Namiquipa, on
Wednesday. He was positive it was
Villa who went through the coaches.
Hardly considered possible that out
laws large force could have covered
difficult country to Namiquipa with

RELATION OF new
CORN TO HOG DISEASE


There will be considerable soft corn
fed to live stock of all kinds this fall,
and it is safe to say that hogs will re-
ceive their full share. says the Iowa
Homestead. The situation Is such as
to arouse interest in the possible rela-
tionship between the practice Of feed
ing soft corn to hogs and disease, par
ticularly cholera.
In the outset It may be said that hog
cholera can result only from infection.
This means that the invisible germ of
cholera must find Judgment in a hogs
digestive system or in the lungs before
the disease can show itself. This in
visible germ is not present in new
corn any more than in old. but this is
not equivalent to saying that there is
no more danger of spreading the dis
ease when quantities Of new corn are
being fed than there is during tho win
ter, spring and summer months. This
Is due to the fact that hogs are fire.

CARE OF ORCHARDS.

Spraying Effective During the Fall,

Prepared by United States department Of

Valuable work in the control of or
chard insect pests may be accomplish
ed during the fall, winter and early
spring. Certain destructive insects are
held in check only by spraying during
the dormant period of trees when
stronger washes may be used than
when the trees are in foliage. Many
insects Of the orchard spend the win
ter on the trees in the egg, larval or
pupal stage, and their destruction in
the course of pruning or other orchard
work is practicable and is of much i'm
portance in keeping them reduced.
Orchard scale insects as a class are
best treated after the foliage has drop
ped from the trees. This work may be
done in late fall. during the winter
when the temperature is above freez-
ing or in the spring before the buds

THE AMERICAN RAVEN.
Found Now Only In Safe Retreats In
the Rocky Mountains.

the Rocky Mountains.
The raven has gained little in the at.
fections of the people from his kindly
act of supplying Elijah. the prophet.
with food when hunger pressed him.
The raven is thought of as a bird of
I'll omen wherever his black shadow
appears. He is the sinister bird. and he
cannot shake from his feathers his
evil name. though it be only in part de.
served. ~
How can any one be supposed to cul.
dvate affection for a bird Of which a
great poet could write lines like these:
The sad presaging raven tolls
The sick mans passport in her hollow
beak
And in the shadow of the silent night
Doth shake contagion from her sable wing.
The raven is passing. Already it has
almost entirely disappeared from the
British islands. Formerly the Ameri.
can raven was fairly common in our
middle western country. In New Eng.
land and in the lower ranges of the
Allegheny mountains. Today it is only
occasionally to be seen In its ancient
haunts.
In the Rocky mountains. however,
where men are scarce. the raven is
holding its own. 1t builds its nest on
the edge Of the lodges of the ~inaccessi.
BILE cliffs, and. sighting its foe from
afar. it keeps the distance in which lies
safety.
The v is ugly in shape. as it is in
voice. Its sole beauty lies in the luster
OF its feathers when the sun strikes
them full and fair. 1t is a bearded
bird. with high shoulders and certain
bumps and humps here and there to
make its form seem utterly lost to
symmetry.
The bird is not altogether bad. It
robs he nests Of other birds. and it is
this trait Of character which has lost it
caste and life in England. The. game
keeper shoots It on sight, and in recent
years. because of the growing scarcity,
the museum collectors have been hunt.
Ing the raven in all places where it is
reported to have dared to show its
head.
The raven is the bird of books, It
has a larger place in literature perhaps
than all other birds combined if we ex.
cept the eagle. Shakespeare mentions
1t no less than fifty times. Milton did
not neglect it, and all the poets-an-
cient, medieval and modern-have con.
sidered the raven.
The American raven probably will be
safe in his Rocky mountain haunts for
years to come. but he is so far removed
from mans h%abitations that his pictur.
sequences. his oddities. his GRANTEES
and his croakings virtually are lost to
the world.-Chicago Post.

many persons owning but q small num-

The commercial article usually has a
density of 30 to 81 degrees as regis

preparing the concentrate at home eff

of about this density. Such a concen-
trate is used at the rate Of one part to

treatment each winter is necessary to
hold this pest in subsection. but the ap-
pl1cation must be very thorough, coat

Certain other scale insect pests which

annual treatment with lime-sulphur

apple pest. Certain destructive apple

eating too much green corn. The new
crop is exceedingly palatable. but it
lacks feeding qualities to some extent,
so that enormous quantities are con-
sumed to satisfy the needs Of the ami
NAL. and therein lies the danger. A
hog that has been thrown out Of con-
dition by eating the new corn in large
quantities fits himself ideally for con-
tracing such diseases as are spread
by germs. and hat is why there is SO
much loss from cholera at a time when
new corn is being fed.
The remedy is simple. Feed the
new corn sparingly until the hogs be-
come thoroughly accustomed to it. 1t
will pay to buy some old corn to mix
with the new or. what would be still
better. to use Il little concentrated feed
like tankage or oilmeal. These feeds,
although they may seem high in price,
may result in keeping the hogs in fine
condition until the danger period Is
passed, and. Furthermore, during that
period their use will not increase but
rather decrease the cost of making
gains. Where a supply Of oats is on
hand these may be fed to some extent
in self feeders. and they will help the
situation very materially. Soaked or
ground barley or rye may be utilized
to advantage where prices on these
products are right, and during the next
month or six weeks they may be fed
great 0dyantape
1t is a good practice also to feed
mineral materials literally. A mix
ture composed of equal parts Of char
coal or soft coal slack and salt with a
little air slaked lime added will give
good results. Hogs will large
quantities of it. and unquestionably
some Of these elements are digested
and assimilated because they seem to
answer an important function in the
hogs nature when he is being fed lib
orally on new corn. Place the mineral
mixture in a self feeder so that the
hogs a have access to 1t freely.
products are not costly, and but
little labor is involved in mixing them,
and their use. in our opinion. cannot be

There is a weapon known as the
crows beak which was formerly much
IN use among men Of rank in Persia
and north India. 1t was a horseman's
weapon and consisted of a broad
curved dagger blade fixed at right

shaft incloses a dagger, unscrewing at
the butt end. This concealed dagger is
