"We had an agreement with Mr. Donnelly's organi- aatioa and the allied tiadea which they tailed to live up to, and under the cir- enmstancea we do not care to make any farther agreements with them." This is the statement which was signed by the lepreeentatives of the packers and handed to the members of the state board of arbitration tonight at the end ot a conference between the two bodies, held at the tequest of the elate board in an endeavor to bring about another meeting for the settle ment of the batchers' strike between the packers and the strikers. The packers received the state board courte ously and listened to their arguments for a peaceable adjustment ot the diffi culty The announcement that the packers ware, opnoeed to anv fui ther peace ne gotiations with the strikers was handed to the board by Arthur Meeker and Thomas Connor, both of Armour A Co., who represented the packers. While from theii statement it would appear that the packers are opposed to meet ing the strikers again on any terms, such is not the case. At the last conference between the strikers and the packers the latter in formed the union leaders that any time they expressed a desire to live up to the original arbitration agreement aimed a week aeo. which provided for the reinstatement of the striking butch era inside of 45 days and for the arbi tration of all grievances, the packers would be willing to renew the agree ment. The contention of the packers is that this agreement is still in force, and as they are unwilling to offer any further concessions to the strikers, they say a renewal of peace negotiations with the hope ot securing better terms would be useless. The labor leaders say that when the ' bntchra went on the second strike be cause of alleged discrimination by the packers in rehiring striking employes, the arbitration agreement was nullified and that H is necessary to sign a new agreement before a settlement can be reached. lems to contend with in the history ot the packing industry, the packer art leaving nothing undone to gain the upperhand In the struggle with their SO .000 onion emplorea who are on strike. All day long, workmen from outside points were rushed to Chicago and taken to the stockyards to fill the places ot the striken. Tonight it was announced by the packers that 7,000 new men were now installed in the different plants at the stockyards. With these men and with the arrivals that are eimcted each day, the packers expect to get their affairs m such shape that the strikers will be compelled to seek a truce in the hostilities and seek a peaceable settlement at the dictation of the emloyers. Although the receipts ot livestock todav were small, compared with re ceipts on corresponding days under normal conditions, still many cattle, hogs and sheep were left in the pens tonight unsold.

A bomb was thrown under the mm ister 'a carriage, completely shattering it. M. Plehve was terribly mangled. The crime was committed at 10 o'clock. The coachman was killed and the wounded and maddened horses dashed wildly away with the front wheels of the carriage the only portion of the vehicle remaining intact. .

Under orders from Vice Admiral Gigon, the armored cruiser Kleber and the third class cruiser Galilee sailed for Tangier to night. The orders given t J the com manders of the cruisers were to "hold themselves at the disposition of the minister of France." Officers of the ' ' ministry of marine say that this action ia not to be regarded in any aspect oth er than paeific, but that it is desirable in the present unpleasant condition of Morocco for the French government to be represented by the two warships. The Japanese Made Ta Tchc Kiao Untenable. Mukden, July 28. The have retreated from Ta Tche Llai Cheng. They decided to withdraw Tche Kiao Sunday evening. Zarabourieff, commanding the Fourth army corps, who is General . StakeU berg's senior, resolved to take this step in consequence of the reports of scouts that the Japanese were turning the left flank. The Japanese foices aie believed to nclude the whole of the armies of Generals Oku and Nodzu. More than eight divisions of Japanese are engaged. The rear guard action between Datch apu and Ta Tche Kiao continued until 11 at night, when the Japanese weie within sight of the Russian entrench ments. The Russians withdrew in per fect order, favored by the beautiful moonlight. General Kuropatkin reports that toe Japanese column in the vicinity of Saitmatsza, which is believed to be two divisions strong, is marching along the valley of the Taitse, with the obvi ous aim of cutting tbe railroad above Liao Yang. The evacuation of Ta Tche Kiao was prepared for long ago by the Russians, as military experts have repeatedly in dicated. The retirement is not regard ed as materially altering the situation. The Russians had strongly fortified Hal Cheng, in view of this contin gency. GOOD ROADS CONVENTION. State Association VIII Meet to Tlx the Date. Salem President John II.

Pendleton The first serious wheat fire this summer visited tha farm of Lowell Rogers, near Adams, laat week, causing a loss ot nearly 1,600. Five hundred sacks ot grain, a wagon and 40 tons ot hay were destroyed. One horse was so badly buined that it died. The harvest crew was some distance away when the flra started. Two little daughters of Geoige Rogers were sent attet the men, and narrowly escaped being burned to death in the burning ptain. By hard work the crew finally extinguished the fire. The first ot the week fire again vis ited Rogers' place and before it could be extinguished, over 1,200 sacks of wheat were destroyed and about 70 acres of standing grain burned. The grain and stiaw being very dry. the fire prvad rapidly into an adjoining field owned by Louie Odette. Odette lout SO acres of grain before the fire could be gotten under control. Mr. Rogers es timates his loss at 7,000 or more bush- is. A number of iarming implements and haivest supplies were also lost. His loss will exceed (5,000. lie had small insurance. Mi.

Tbe British gov ernment is taking energetic action rela tive to the sinking of tbe British steam er Knight Commander by the Vladivo stok squadron. All information re ceived by the government tends to es tablish in the official mind the belief that an outiage has been' committed for which no excuse exists in interna tional law. The demands which will be made on the Russian government will include compensation to the owners ot the ship and to the owners of the goods on board the Knight Commander, an apology for the action of the Russian cruisers and an agreement that in structions shall be given which will prevent a repetition of such action. Butish shipowners are up In arms over the danger which shipping is now running and are bombarding tbe gov' ernment with representations looking to the thorough protection of their in terests.

The London Daily Express states that it has excellent reasons for stating that the latest note cent uv Gerat Britain to Russia is not . couched in the uBual diplomatic lan guage, but is, instead, a peremptory demand for immediate reparation for all slights placed upon the British flag by Russia. It is also stated that Rus sia is warned that a repitition of the Knight Commander affaii will be fol lowed by immediate reprisals. Action Delayed In New York. New Yoik, July 28.

If one has but a few coops a slid ing window may be used to cloae tno front; If many coops are mails the opening may lis closed by a sliding door made of thin material.

It Is generally conceded that more ' a corn can be grown on an acre in drills than in hills, but. In weedy loud tha great trouble Is to keep drilled corn clean and free from weeds. Tha great mistake in cultivating drilled corn usually la made at the Orst working, when shovels of medium slxe are used and small furrowa left close to the rows. We find it no harder to keep drilled corn free from weeda than It la to keep hill corn clean, by using the smoothing harrow acroaa the rows just as soon as the corn Is up. In four or flva days a second narrow ing may be given and then the culti vators be set to work. Avoid leaving any furrow close to the rows, and also be sura not to throw a ridge of earth up to tha plants. Keep tha land Just as level aa possible tha first two or three workings and then as the plants be gin to shade tha ground the will do much to amother out weeds. The later cultivation of any corn Is best given by a one-horse five shovel cultivator Instead of tbe two-horse riding imple ment, as with tbe former one can go very shallow and keep at any desired distance from the growing corn. We believe there are too many high-priced riding cultivators and not enough email one-horse Implements used. Tha latter, diligently used, Insure clean crops. Totals of o Good Polrr Cow. I will endeavor to give a few ot wlat many years of experience haa taught me to believe are caaentlal points In selectlug a profitable dairy cow, and will commence at tha noao. Take a row that can put her noae In a tlucup you citu take a lineup to milk: her In; but a cow that it takra a buck et to get her none In, you will have to take a bucket to milk her In. In other worda, I want a cow or a calf of either aex, In order to make a prof itable dairy animal, to have a great broad mouth (ao It can mow a wlda awath), with tutu lips Indicating a thin lUde aud flnenewa throughout, en abling It to alft out moat of the nutri tion In food consumed and return It to you lu Its milk; with broad, open iiodtrlls, giving It good breathing ca pacity; and short from none to eyca long In this spneo Indicates long In the legs; too much wind blows under It aud soon dries up the milk, even If they glvo a good flow lit the aturt; broud between the eyes, Indicating n broad deep cow throughout, with good heart.

There are other Indications, but these are enough to give a beginner a start Harding Bailey, In Jersey Bulletin. The Coot of Making Tork. The sole purpose of finishing a bunah of pigs at an early age Is to make them more profitable by saving feed. It takes a certain amount mere ly to keep them, and the shorter the time they are kept tha less this will cost So far it is a simple problem, but there ara other factors which en ter in. The pushing process 'may be tha most costly in the end because it requires the feeding of a large quantity of high-priced grain or mill stuffs, whereaa by utilizing tha pas tures and the woods they may make a cneaper growth ana ultimately go to market at less cost It may be said that the pasture has value in propor tion to tha grain. Sometimes it has and sometlmea it has not all de pends on what something else could get out of it in the way of gain and consequent cash. Tba point Is 4bat early maturity In tha sense of market ing hogs at an early age ia the best thing only when It is the cheapest A man can afford to wait a couple of months to put his plga on tha market if by utilizing pastures or forage and saving high-priced grain be can do It cheaper. Tba cost of marketing pound of pork and not the time it takes to do it is the vital problem. Kill Weoda IJeforo riaotlnar Corn. Tbe beat time to kill weeds Is be fore tbe corn comes up, but I can kill more weeds In going over my ground once with a drag or barrow before the corn Is planted thau you can in two or three times after the corn ia planted. My practice has been to fol- . low tba breaking plow with the drag. If not too wet nd in few daya cross barrow, and In a few more daya harrow again and follow with tba planter or drill. I drill exclusively. I open a furrow two or three lnchaa deep and plant in tha furrow; there fore I cannot use tha harrow or weed. er after my corn is planted, ror it would fill tbe furrow and cover tha corn too deep. I use tbe cultivator with narrow shovela and fenders, and fill In tbe furrow gradually until It la level, then keep the surface level. Now see some one holding up bis banda In horror at tbe Idea of drilled corn planted down in a furrow. I should like to divide a field with you; you plant ot) tbe surface In bills, and I drill In the furrow; neither to usa band hoe, and the one that haa tha cleanest and most corn to take tha crop. I. N. C, In Indiana Farmer. Loos from Bitter Sot. The losses from bitter rot of apples ara seldom appreciated, out tne men that have Investigated them declara them to be simply enormous for tha entire country. Professor Blair of tba University of Illinois, said last fall that tha losses from, bitter rot In four counties of Illinois bad totaled for tha past season $1,500,000. This was In the four countlea of Marlon, Clay, Richard and Wayne. Bitter rot la a fungous disease and can be controlled to some extent by spraying. It Is time that apple growera awoke fully to tha enormous tax they are every year pay ing to tbe fungous diseases that rav age orchards. - Could farmers elimi nate even this one scourge of bitter rot we would add millions of dollara to tha value of tha apple crop. Thinning Peaches Pay a. Mot every grower appreciates tbe Importance of thinning peaches, but there can ba no question of the neces sity of tha practice, if best results ara to ba secured. Tha Michigan Experi ment Station report tba following concerning thia matter: "A thinning test waa started In 1908, to last over a period of three years. Of one lot one tree was thin ned to 8 lnchaa; one was thinned to or 5 Inches, and one tree was left un thinned. Of tba other varieties, one tree was thinned to 8 inches and one tree left unthlnned. It waa noted at tha end of the first season's test that Jl trees severely thinned were much Water for the Bwlno. Pure water doea mora than quench the thirst of the hog.

Cooking feed la no longer regarded aa an economical practice for fattening animals. However, for breed ing stock and sick animals, and for animals which It Is desired to put into the very highest condition, cooking may be practiced with good, results, if expense is disregarded.
