SENSA TON
IS SEE n
IN CLUE

Detective Sergeant Arthur
B. Scrivener was shot and
killed by a well-known Wash
ington business man.
This is the theory which the
entire police department is
working on today. It was said
by headquarters detectives that
if the clue they are working on
turns out to be the right one,
it viii be the biggest sensa-
ton in criminal annals in the
history of Washington.
Other Theories Dropped
The police are about convinced
that It was not ! case Of hold-up,
nor jealous 1Dxer, nor some one
who had q grudge against the de-
tective for some previous work
the detective had done in the
course of his pursuit of criminals.
The latter theory was one Of
the first to be exploded by the
police, detectives claim, because

Scrivener was known to the Grim
inal element of Washington as ''the
squarest dick on the force and
fearless"
These two elements are about the
only ones. police say. which excites
the admiration for a policeman
among criminal classes.
Another thing which has strength
ened their theory that it was not
the work of a ''stick-up' man is
the fact that Scrivener allowed the
person to come up close to him.
He was known as one OF the
quickest men with a gun on the
force, and the police are convinced
that the man who shot Scrivener
about 1 o'clock Yesterday morning,
was not a stranger to the detective.
Another Arrest Made
But. despite this well founded
theory. the police are leaving no
stone unturned and today arrested

Eradication of
Tubercular Hogs
Noticeable Decline of Dis
ease in Swine Reported
From Iowa.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
With current progress In eradicat-
ing tuberculosis from cattle, notice
able decline of the same disease among
swine is taking place. This announce
ment by the bureau of animal indus
try, United States Department Of Agri-
culture, is based on field observations
and by records of the federal meat
inspection service.
Economic Loss.
A striking example of the effect of
the work has been received by the
department from an Iowa packing
company which has kept books" on
such losses for the last seven years.
In 1919 the average loss per hog
caused by tuberculosis infection was
70 cents. This figure is the economic
loss for hogs slaughtered in the plant.
In 1920 the loss declined to sc cents,
In 1921 to 40 cents, and in 1922 to 80
cents. Since 1913 the loss has de-
clined further to 20 cents.
1--WE have actual knowledge, through
experience" the company adds, that
the tuberculin test applied to cattle
has reduced bovine tuberculosis among
cattle and hogs following them, and
has cleaned up the hogs from the
disease"
Report for Hardin County.
Further evidence is given by the
packers report for Hardin County,
Iowa, which is an area accredited as
free from bovine tuberculosis. Dur
ing a nine-month's period more than
1900 hogs were shipped from this
county and slaughtered, with an av-
erage economic loss, caused by tuber-
culosis, of only Al cents each. This
figure is less than a fifth of the gen.
eral average, which in turn is about
q third Of the loss in 1919 when sys-
tematic tuberculosis eradication was
just begun.
An important development of the
work is the discovery that through
out the Central West especially, many
poultry flocks are tubercu.ous, and
some infection among swine is trace
able to that source. Fowl tubercu-
losis yields readily. however, to meth
DDS of control and eradication. Thus
the outlook for the complete suppress
sion of tuberculosis among all kinds
of live stock is encouraging, federal
veterinary officials assert.

Good Hog Pasture

A good pasture for hogs is oats and
rape, sowing the oats at the rate Of
about one bushel per acre, and follow
ing with Dwarf Essex rape, at the rate
Of about five or six pounds per acre
Is favored.
It Is a good plan to sow the rape
separately, following the oats. giving
them light narrowing, if it is desired
Many hog lots or barn lots can be
plowed up and sowed to rape very
probably. In this way all available
ground will be utilized.

Pasture for Ducks

As to a good pasture for ducks,
short bluegrass is good, but, better yet,
short alfalfa or clover. For egg pro-
duction supply a ration of three parts
corn meal, three parts finely ground
oats, three parts wheat bran and one
part fine -four middlings. Add to every
100 pounds of this mixture one pound
Of fine sand, two pounds of grit and
fifteen pounds Of beef scraps. If they
are on pasture no other green food
will be needed. They do not need
running water.

Breeds Of White. Geese

There are two varieties of white
geese, the Emden and the Chinese.
They are both large varieties. The
Emden, however, is more common and
more generally raised for market than
the Chinese. There is little difference
In the two kinds as to the hardness.
It is generally believed that the EN-
den are a little more domestic than
the Chinese. The Chinese are the
pnes which have knob on the head
1t the base Of the beak.

Meat Scrap in Ration

Meat scrap or some other animal
feed high in protein is one essential
constituent of the mash. In some ex-
periments a pen of pullets, on free
range, which did not get meat scrap
or any other protein feed, laid only
DO eggs each in year, compared
with yields of from 125 to $50 eggs
from pens fed rations containing meat
scrap. The eggs from the pen where
no meat scrap was fed cost % cents
more dozen for feed. Eggs add to
the return from the farm.
