SENTENCED IN BADGER ('AS.E. South Carolinians Figure in Trial at Washington.-EnOtts Brothers From North. Washington, May 4.-James Bai'ev Knotts, of North in Orangeburg coun -y, South Carolina, and Alton A. Arm storng, of Waltertown, S. D., each aged 20 years, were today sentenced to four years each in the Federal pen itentiary at Leavenworth Kan., by Judge Wriaht, in criminal court No. 1, of the District of Columbia, after they had pleaded guilty to working the "badger" game on Charles Rosen thal, a well known merchant of this city. 'The woman in the case, Flossie Bennett, the supposed wife of James Bailey Knotts, Teceived a sentence of two years in the penitentiary at Lansing, Kan. She gave her age as 19. BeBnjamin H. Knotts, aged 33, a brother of James Bailey Knotts, who at first pleaded guilty of complicity in the "badger" scheme by which Rosenthal was lured to the woman's apartments, attempted afterwards to palliate his offence by claiming that he had merely furnished the others the money by which the apartment was rented and fitted with electric lights and photographing apparatus. The jury found Benjamin Knotts guil ty, bu.t recommended him to the court's mercy. Counsel for the defence gave no tice of a motion for a new trial, whereupon the bail of Benjamin Knotts was increased to $4,000 and he was remanded until it should be fur nished. Flossie Bennett was attired in a "baby blue" coat suit and wore a jaunty straw hat trimmed in ribbons of the same blue, of which color also was the crown of the hat. She am wered questions put to- her in a straightforward manner. In behalf of the claim for leniency -to the girl and the two Knotts, coun sel called to the stand the faither of the Knotts. The father, who is 74 years old and who has not visited Washing ton since he came to attend the in .auguration of Abraham Lincoln, told the court that his son Benjamin is his only support and farms for him the plantation where they live in South Carolina. He said neither of bis boys had ere been, in trouble before, and that the cause of Biiley's downfall was the coming of a green country boy to a large city and falling in with evil companions. Young Bailey, *he said, had been a leader in church work and a member of the Y. M. C. A., but had been ruined by the glare of ethe city. NEW OPPONENT FOR MAJOR KERR Gor.

PEACE PLANS FAIL. Mexican Rebels Prepare For Attack On Jaurez.-MIadero's Demands Rejected. El Paso, May 6.-The armistice in the Chihuahua district, between the government and the rebels was brok +n today, and tonight the rebels un der Gen. Madero are preparing to at tack Juarez. This will be the first point of at rack. but it is niot thought the rebels will move for another twenty-four *Lours. The government has officially refused to accede to the rebels de mands, giving for their reason that the government will crumble if such a demand is agreed to. The~ Mexicon government's pe~ace euvoy, 2Judge Carabajal, has refused to consider che termis otf Gen. Madero, and the latter innuediately broke the armistice. MIadero's Statement. Glen. Madero stated tonight that the armistice was at an end, and his terms had been rejected. "But that is not enough, for while Gin. Diaz is in power all laws will be arranged to his satisfaction. With that idea and in order to obtain p)rom ises of reformis, we; must ask him to make public the intention which he had manifested recently of resigning -oam thepreid -ry That he might not feel humiliated or have any pre-, text to deny such a request, I pro posed that I also resign as provisional president, ven manifesting a him that I would accept a member of his cabinet, who occupies a pos: of much' confidence and who is correspondingly able to fill it. "It is not possible for me to do more, and if the war continues, it will be due solely to the ambition of President Diaz. "He therefore, will alone be respon sible to .the world and history for all those miseries which will be caused.' ** * THE SELECTIONOF * BREEDING STOCK. * Clemson Extension Work- 'Jti- * * cle 40. *~*1 * ** *a* ** * ** * ***** We all know that in every little ofI pigs, if that little contains an average number or more, that at least one of these pigs will almost surely be of small size and very likely of poor qualities. It is very evident that such a pig should not be used -as a breed er, but why not go much farther than this and select only the very best to be the mothers of future generations of all domestic animals, and this se lection should not only include ques-i tions of size but oth-ers as follows: First, poor feeders and producers. How many farmers know just how! much milk or butter their cows give each year? They may possibly bel able to give a fair guess as to the amount of milk, but almost never do: they know anything about the amount of butter they are capable of making, unless they have -but one cow and therefore churn the cream from that individual alone. A cow capable of making only 150i pounds of butter each year is of no value in a dairy, for the butter could be bought for -the value of her feed,i but if the same cow could make 300 pounds of butter, she would then be a valuable animal both as a butter! producer and as a breeder. Again, we want to be careful to keep only the good breeders. We all; know that many of the animals we! possess are shy breeders, as seen by~ the small little o~f pigs, or the small number of lambs in a flock, etc. If we keep the small pigs from such litters or lambs from such flocks, wei shall increase this difiiculty, for all~ future generations are likely to have: this fault to a still greater degree. In like manner, let us use males that are in .full vigor, not the very young or old, for while their young r'ay be' good and profitable animals, yet we should :thereby reduce the ch'anbes of getting the most desirable. Yet another item -to keep in mind - is to use as breeders the normal ani mals, those that have no peculiarities that should not be expected in thatj bi'ged, for even if they are not ob-, jectionable in themselves, they show a tendency toward abnormal develop ment and in future generations we! should expeat other qualities -might appear and the breedirng become very unreliable. To sum up, select for breeding the animals fhat are normal of the~ breed, neither too large nor too small and with the qualities of that particulari breed strongly developed. Animals! that are old enough butt not too old sto be in full vigor. Those that have proven 'their powers to produce wdll, as the c ow in giving milk or butter, the hog in producing pork, the sheep for wool and mutton. Good feeders. If they cannot con-! sumo and digest a large amount of, food, we cannot get a large return i-n products, hence -such must be chos en. Discard ,any with undesiraDle ualities, of whate ver nature. Some. uniformity of color is desirable, not! because it is essential, but it is easy to attain, and herds and fic'cks that are similar in this respect are a. pleasure to the breeder. D. 0.
