Where it has been found impossible

BELATED ARIIVAl H NEW VOIK
Russia's Chief Plenipotentiary De
clares That the Jajtt&eie Would
Have U Advance Tour Times as
Much as They Have Done in Order
to Reach Russia Proper, and Tfett
the Country's Fevet b! Resistance
Remain Great.
New York, S)cia1-.Tle Kaiser
Wilhelrn der (Iroax with Mr. flergiu
Wine, lh Fnlotr Rvsiart pfaee en
voy, arMvod in nuarantine Wednesday
aftt-rnonn. Mr. Witte was in good
health. The nhlp had a good pasaage,
the sa bedng smooth. xCt-pl on Sat
urday and Monday, when it was a lit
tlo rou&h.
On Hhipboard, Mr. Wltte waa gen
erally reticent when the suhjtri of his
mission was mrntiont!. However, to
a correspondent Who accompanied him
from Cherlourg, Mr. Witte said:
"Almost everywhere in Kuropt as
well as in America not only Russia,
her force, her resources and her
power of resistence, are not known,
but the people are even mistaken
about the true result of the Vr. The
Russians have had reverses, but this
does not ftgnlly that they have lost
the power which was known to the
Muscovite empire before th war; it
does not mean that RuSsia has become
a iifffllRftble quantity nor that the
Japanese have acquired by the result
of the recent victories such a suprem
acy as to make the Rusnian empire
consider them a truly redoubtable ene
my." Mr. Will; recognizes the good qual
ities of the Japanese military, naval
and administrative organizations and
does no!; believe any other European
nation would have been able to resist
Japan as Russia has done.
All the foreign "officer of Ihe iiuro
tean armies, he said, who followed
the war, were unanimous in affirming
that the Russian troops, both soldiers
and officers, fought with truly admir
able bravery, but they had to with
draw on account of a combination of
circumstances with which their per
sonal valor could not contend. On the
sea the Russians found themselves
constantly in inferior condition. The
squadron of Rojetvf?nsky was sent
against Japan, not because the Rus
sians had much confidence in its suc
cess, but because they could not re
nounce from a military and moral
point of view any chance, ho matter
how uncertain, of obtaining even a
partial victory. The Japanese, he de
clared, had not made such progress
as was generally believed; in fact,
they would have to advance fouraames
as much as they have done in the last
year and a half to reach Russia prop
er, in which case alone they might
consider themselves In a position to
impose the conditions of peare. - Ac
cording to the Russian plenipotentiary,
those who do not know Russia well
oppose to the reasons the spectre
of the internal conditions of the em
pire, imagining all kinds of cataclysms,
but even about this, he said, they
were mistaken. Mr. Witte did not wish
to discuss at this time the events in
Russia, affirming, however, that they
have not the character nor the grav
ity attributed to them.
Mr. Witte indicated, notwithstand
ing these views, that he does not
mean to say that he will not make
every possible effort towards the con
clusion of peace, adding that he is fa
vorable to peace as a Russian and
as a man, having always worked to
prevent war and understanding that
at present nearly the entire "world de
sires the end of the conflict. He re
peated that he will honestly do all that
his conscience may suggest to bring
about, if possible, an agreement which
may be equally satisfactory to the in
terests of Russia and Japan. After
having done this, no matter what the
results may be, Mr. Witte feels that he
will have accomplished his duty. He
emphatically denied having said that
Japan's peace terms were intolerable.
He also denied positively that he had
predicted that the conference would
break up in a week.
Detective Fatally Shot.

Ij. Frazer, a private detsceive, was shot
and almost instantly killed while trying
to gain entrance to the house of Jo

two other detectives accompanied A. J.
Barber, of Woonsocket, R. I., to Ev

no comment Was made upon the inter
view with Mr. Witte. Aimer Sato, who
has met all Interviewers since the Japa

said that Baron Kcmura would make

Total cases to date. 533.
Deaths, Sunday, 8.
Total deaths to date, 105.
New sub-foci. 2.
Total nubfotl to dale, 93.
The fever report is a great improve
ment over those during the middle of
the week, and the fact that there is
only 2 new sub-foci, one up-town and
one down-town, is a source of special
encouragement. An effort is being
made to determine the number of
cases under treatment, and allowing
ten day", which is a liberal estimate,
for a patient to either recover or
die. It is figured that there are now
233 cases under treatment.
The city has contributed $250,000
to assist the government In handling
the disease.
The decision to ask the Federal gov
ernment to tak control Was reached
at a hireling of city and State officials
and othefs, held late Friday at the
cotton exchange.
DOUBLE MOTIVE FOR AC .ON.
It was the consensus of the meeting
that government control would restore
confidence throughout the other
States in the South, and the belief was
expressed that Surgeon General Wy
man would be able p send a force of
physicians lo New Orleans thoroughly
equipped for the handling of the yel
low fever situation because of their
experience and unquestionable facil
ities to enforce a scientific campaign
against the fever.
When local health officers first took
charge of the situation It was hoped
that the fever could be stamped out
within a reasonable time, but the in
fection has spread, and so frightened
have the people become Itt the South
over the increase in the number of
cases that iew Orleans is threatened
with a serious paralysis of trade by
reason of radical quarantines.
A telegram signed by the mayor and
others present was addressed to Gov
ernor Blanchard, telling him of the ac
tion taken.
Baron Rosen Introduced.
New York, Special. Acting for the
President, Third Assistant Secretary
of State Pierce communnlcated to
Baron Rosen,, the Russian ambassa
dor, and Mr. Takahifaj the Japanese
-minister, the official program for the
formal presentation to the President
of the Russian and Japanese plenipo
tentiaries to the Washington confer
ence. This program has for weeks been
a subject of much study on the part
of the President and Mr. Pierce. Many
of the details regarding the journey
to Oyster Bay and thence to Ports
mouth already have been published.
Desirous of being strictly neutral in
all the arrangements for the presenta
tion, it was decided at the outset by
the Washington government that the
President would recognize no prece
dence based on success in the present
war. Because Baron Komura was pre
sented at Sagamore Hill almost a
week before Mr. Witte arrived in this
country, it was decided that for this
reason Baron Komura must take prece
dence over Mr. Witte. This, however.
will be recognized only in the half
hour.'s difference in the time of the
presentation of the two missions.
Tidewater Wins.
Norfolk, Ya., Special The ..Tide

State corporation in the great fight
that the Norfolk & Western Railway
was making against its petition for
grade crossings in Norfolk county
The Norfolk & Western sought to
compel the Tidewater to erect via
ducts over its tracks at two points
on the approach to Norfolk, and the
Tidewater sought grade crossings over
the Norfolk & Western, which the com
mission has just allowed. The Nor

Many practical poultry raiiera depend
en the uioDfj received from eggs a
substantial and perhap the larger
part of their income. Hence the egg
problem is to them one of great Im
portance. But In the solution of thU
problem I recall forcibly on 6f the
copies which had to be et in my writ
ing books at school: "Many men Of
many minds." for there are many dif
ferent methods pursued, and each one
thinks his is the best. If I give thinCi
while; it may liot be the best possible
method, I am sure it is t good one, tor
It helps my birds and I trust it will
prove helpful to others. YSere all to
write a strictly scientific essay on this
subject It would naturally comtnem-
with an analysis bf the egg, showing
the proportions Of albumen, fat, lime,
etc., that enter into its composition,
but for practical purposes this Is un
necessary. e Know mat in some w a j
from the food must be extracted the
constituents of the eggs, and we pro
pose to show only our methods of
supplying the food to the hen.
First-We see to it that the hrus
are well feel, liot overloaded With fat,
nor as lean as a lost dog. A very poor
hen is as unfitted for laying as a very
fat one: either extreme should be
avoided.
Second Se'anty feeding is not aelapt
ed to abundant esrir production. Hens
that lay many eggs must be fed wel
as much as they will eat and digest
without getting too fat; We ennnot
manufacture a thousand yards of cot
ton cloth out of raw material necessary
for a hundred yards, and we cannot ex
pect a hen to lay two hundred eggs
per year if we furnish only enough
food to produce ft hundred.
Third The food must be of the right
nature as well as of the proper quan
tily; as an egg is rich in albumen we
need considerable albumenous food; as
it contains fat and oils, we must have
a proper amount of fat producing food,
in order to produce a we!l balanced
ration.
Having these principles in view
have found the following an excellent
method of feeding for eggs:
Clover as much as the hens will eat,
green in summer nnd either dry in
winter, or what is better; cut fine and
covered With boiling Water fthd left
to steam, lbe water in wmcn tnis
clover is steamed can be profitably
used to mix up the evening ration. The
first thine in the morning feed the
clover, and after the hens have pecked
up what they want, give them equa
parts of cracked corn and wheat and
the next morning oats and buckwheat
or some other grain. Tlirow this iii
litter and make them scratch and hunt
for it. At night give a feed composed
of two parts of ground oats, one part
ground beef scrap and two parts corn
meal, mixed with hot water and feed
warm, not hot. For" green stuff supply
cabbage, hung up by a string td help
themselves, or beets or turnips cut
In half and stuck on nails on the side
of the house. Keep ground oyster
shells, grit and charcoal in boxes or.
hoppers before them at all times so
they can eat as much or little as they
choose.
Now, there may be better ways than
this, but this is certainly a good method
and will be found to answer the need
of practical poultry men. If you ob
tain it aud can afford to do it, feed your
hens skimmed milk; it is one of the
best egg producing foods known, but
the difficulty is the price puts it beyond
the reach of most poultry raisers. But
our farmer friends would find It very
advantageous if they would save some
of their surplus milk for the hens and
not give at all to the hogs.
One hundred hens, with proper care,
should produce at least $100 profit clear
each year. The pullet that begins to
lay earliest in life will lay the largest
number of eggs. Charred corn on the
cob is a good way to feed charcoal to
fowls and nothing is better for bowel
troubles.
Have you ever made an honest effort
to improve your stock by the infusion
of new blood?
Laying hens may enjoy eating snow
and drinking water out of stagnant
pools, but neither is good for them.
On the contrary, both are quite in
jurious and if properly traced many
sicknesses among the poultry both win
ter and summer would be found as a
result of these practices.
Poultry raising is being gradually re
duced to business principles, and is be
coming an actual and important feature
of agriculture more and more each
year.
Do you subscribe for and read a poul
try paper, or are you opposed to "Cook
larnin" and think yon know more than
the editors and men who write for the
papers simply to see their name In
print?

Coat of Harvcattag- Hay.
What does it cost you to pot up your
hay? This que-tiort ! dicueJ in the
Southern Planter.
Western farmers ue more labor av
ng tools than their Southern brethren.
While our laborers get lower wage,
thry are4 as a rule, les efficient and
their labor is really more eipniv.
The claim is made for the South that
we have cheaper labor here Uun North
or West. In Nebraska and Kansas the
cost of harvesting a ton of hay will
probably average Uss than $1.75 per
ton, whereas the yield is ton or
more per acre. Here In Virginia a
in neb as half of the crop is being
charged for cutting, raking, etc., and
getting the hay in stack. Hay being
worth $14 per ton in stack, this charge
would amount to $7 per ton. Having
seen hundreds of torn of bay sold out
Wet In stacks at $3 per ton twenty
years ago when labor was higher than
to-day, It Seems to me that the cost
of haying should cer'ainly not be more
than $3 per ton here, where iabor is
cheap.
What is the actual cost of mowing
an acre of grass? How much for rak
ing? How much for tedding twice?
How much for dragging the hay with
a sweep from the windrows to the
rick? HOw tndch for' one horse and a
bo to operate a stacker find a man to
spread the hay on the stack?
As anybody can make a hay sweep
and a stacker, the charge for the use
of these Simple implements should be
very small. Something fcbould be al
lowed for wear and tear on mower and
rake. While we are at it, how much
does it cost to load a ton of hay on
a wagon with pitchfork? How much
when the work is done with a loading
machine? How much does It cost to
unload a ton into the barn with pitch
forks, and how much when the work
is done with a horse fork?
While I have but twenty-five acres of
grass, yet, to pay for the harvesting at
the rate of $7 per ton is quite an item.
A farmer doing such work for another
is, of courses entitled to it fair profit of
over and above the actual cost of doing
tle work. Merchants afe usually satis
fied with a net profit of from ten to
twenty-five per cent, above cost, in d
case like this perhaps fifty per cent,
more than the actual cost should be
allowed for profit.
If the readers of the Southern Flanter
will give their actual experience as to
the cost bf harvesting theif hay crops,
an exchange of ideas 13 likely to re
sult in giving all an opportunity for
learning the cheapest and best meth
ods. Supposing we start with real
grass crops or grass aud clover rnix-
tdfeSi What does the harvesting of
your hay crop actually cost you pef
ton, figuring your time as well as the"
time of teams and help?
Rape and Artichokes.
H. M. C, Silcott Springs, writes:
would like tome information regarding
the culture of rape and artichokes.
Answers The culture of rape is a
comparatively small matter. It should
be seeded as early in spring as possi
ble, the sooner now the better. Plant
in drills about twenty-four inches apart
on the level, using about four pounds
of seed per acre. Cultivate lightly un
til the leaves touch the rows and then
you cab graze with hogs or sheep. In
case of sheep you should watch out for
bloat.
Artichokes should be planted as soon
as possible in rows about three feet
apart and fifteen to' eighteen inches
apart in rows. From four to six bush
els are required to plant an acre. The
ground should be prepared as for Irish
potatoes and the cultivation is practi
cally the same. As a rule artichokes
will yield about twice as much as
Irish potatoes. From two to four
weeks after they bloom hogs may be
turned in the field and allowed to root
out and feed on the artichokes. They
will live on the crop practically all the
winter except when the ground Is
frozen. They make an excellent graz
ing crop for hogs and are fairly satis
factory when fed to cattle and sheep.
Artichokes grow rapidly and are heavy
and will remain In the ground for sev
eral years," unless the hogs are allowed
to root them out very thoroughly.

Permanent raa'aret.
Every farmer should have a perma

the size of the farm. Of course the
great permanent pasture grass is Ber
muda and Japan clover. Bermuda
and winter vetch also mnke an excel
lent pasture; also orchard grass and
vetch make an excellent permanent
pasture, and so on. These permanent
pastures are of the greatest importance

A Kansas City man who was la
Omaha not long ago was In a railroad
ticket office there whllo two women
from the East were buying transpor
tation to Denver.
"W have four hours to spend
here," said one woman to the ticket
eller. "Are there any 'Seeing
Omaha cars here?"
"No, ma'am," was the reply.
"Well, I guess we'll have to see the
town on foot then," said the woman.
"A man on the train said wo could
walk to any of the limits of the city
from Paxton hotel In ten minutes."
The clerk became somewhat roused.
"I'll bet," he said, showing some heat,
"that that man was from Kansas City.
Why," he added a moment later, "an
expert walker couldn't reach the city
limits from the Paxton in a bit less
than twenty minutes." Kansas City
