Secretary Gold resorts to strychnine.
"a little corn sprinkled with this poison
and distributed here and there IN the
field was sufficient to leave a number of
crows IN the field. The crows held in
dlgnatlon meetings all about the woods
on the subject. They lett my corn field
and last year planted the same fields
and others adjoining on my farm, and
the crows did not trouble me at all.
They transmitted their experience of
the previous year. Mr.. Seeley had a
similar experience, using q gun, how
ever, instead Of strycnn1ne."
Mr.. Chamberlain added the following:

methods Of defending our cornfelds de-
Ponds upon the familiarity OF the crows

Curing Hay.

The success of the ens;lage system
has misled some farmers into a belief
that hay can be kept with much less
curing than is commonly supposed. Ii
air can be kept out entirely or nearly
so it might be possible to preserve hay
| without curing, only it would then be
silage and not hay. The condition of
the two articles are entirely different
! Hay in just the proportion that it's
juices evaporate fills with air, not only
between the stems and leaves, but in
the pores with which these are filled
This air is, however, unlike air in the
sllO, preservative agent. If we could
have currents of air passing through
masses of hay it would not spoil. This
is to some extent accomplished in stacks
by setting hay on plat. orm open be-
meath, and building 1t around Il pole in
the center, against which the bay can
not be packed quite SO closely. Then
with waterproof cap over the top 10
exclude rains, though the hay may heat
to some extent, it will not spoil.
Rains or even dews are much more
destructive agencies of fermentation
than are the natural juices of the plant.
These, as they dry up by evaporation,
form gummy substance that has pre-
servative effect. But mix this with
warm rain water, and note how quickly
the matter is thrown into violent 1er-
mentation. 1t is on this principle that
many farmers make hay nearly alto
gether in cock. They pile it up as soon
after cutting as they can, sometimes
leaving it out an entire day, but never
over night, because of dews With
plenty OF hay caps it is possible for a
farmer to be almost independent of the
weather in having time. He cannot
work while rain is falling, but exec pt in
delaying him it does little other dam
age. Sometimes after rain the cocks
will settle down TO half their original
bulk, showing how the heaps have CON-
pacted after slightly heating. Thew
may seem damp to the touch, but may
be put in the NOW without danger Of
further heating.
II at any time grass or grain has been
put in the NOW too damp. the best
thing to be done is to cover 1T with dry
straw and ventilate freely by day or
while tae air is W srm, closing tight as
possible at night. The moisture OF the
damp bay or grain rises and passes off
through the straw while the air is warm.
AS soon as the outer air is colder it con-
denses into water, which the straw
catches. II it were not for the straw
this water would form mold on the TOP
of the hay and wet down a considerable
distance. This explains why some
times the tops Of stacks are wet when
there has been no rain. The moisture
from the interior Of the stacks has risen
up and condensed upon the surface

Culture During Drouth.

So fer there are no signs of drouth,
but one is sure to come before all crops
are harvested, and there is no surer
preventive OF injury from this source
than frequent cultivation. Whatever
affects the profit of every tiller of the
soil is naturally more important than
any local question. The Storrs' Expert
ment Station, Mansfield, Ct, acts upon
this, and its second bulletin gives an &C.
count Of experiments instituted and un-
der way which bear upon that first of
questions with Us IN our brief, hot sum-
mers-hOw moisture may be retained
in the soil in order to prevent him
ORANGES or fatal stoppages of growth.
From August Is to 81 was the only part
of last summer dry enough at Mansfield
for test. During those fifteen
days heavy soil, not stirred ,
lost by evaporation nearly IA
inches deep of water. With the
surface stirred it lost but 5-4. Light
soil lost much less, ga when unstirred,
and 1 inch when stirred. The good et-
feet Of stirring the sur ace two inches
deep, or, better if four, is explained by
its making soil pores too large for the
ascent oil the soil water to the surface
by caDillarity, and as air enters these
openings freely it keeps the soil cooler

adds to its moisture by deposit ICON
densation of its vaporl. A study of the
statements in the bulletin will prove
rich in ''seedthought'' on this main
point in soil culture and on the valua-
ton of soils-which are good or poor
not merely in proportion to the fertility
contained, but in proportion to the
nicely of texture, on which depends
their comparative capability of retain
ing the precious and indispensable
moisture. E1press.

FURTHER PARTICULARS
or tho Shooting at Leslie's Ranch in
 Cochise County.--Les1ie in Jail. Tho man Neil Will Probably Re-

The Tombstone Epitaph says that Cr Goodfellow returned from the scene of the recent shooting at Frank Leslie's ranch yesterday. He found that the woman had been shot in the left breast, the bullet passing through the chest and coming out on the right side, caus- ing nearly instant death. The doctor found James Neil at Reynolds ranch, severely wounded, the ball having pass ed through the left breast and lodged under the skin on the back. The left arm was shattured by bullet and was in bad condition. The doctor dressed the wounds and brought the injured man to this city, where he is being cared for at the Cochise hotel. He will pro- bably recover. Justice Easton sum moned a coroner's jury yesterday and went to the ranch. He will probably return to-day.
 Last evening Ben James and deputy started out to search for Leslie and met him few miles out of town in company with J. $, Taylor and a young man named Heyne, whom Leslie had tolC hat he was coming to Tombstone to surrender to the authorities. He quiet ly accompanied the officers to jail and was locked up.
 Neil was able to talk last evening and his story is substantially the same as published in yesterdays Daily Epitaph. Leslie shot at the woman twice and pro- bably three times, and then turned and shot at Neil three times, two of the shots taking effect as stated above. Leslie de- nies any knowledge of the shooting.

Serious Runaway.

On Saturday evening last when Mrs. Major Towar, her three children, nurse and driver were driving on Stone aven- ue, a little boy threw rock and struck one of the horses, which started to run, the boy playfully running along side of it. The team, a spirited one, soon be- came unmanageable and ran to Pening- ton, when the dr1ver pulled them into Pennington, but in making the turn the team and carriage brought up against the building occupied by Mrs. Dyer, doing slight damage to one. of the door facings.
 The carriage was turned over, Mrs loWdr received severe bruises about the head and hands and one of the little girls had her leg broken two inches above the ankle. The carriage was bad ly smashd and the driver;terribly fright ened but not much hurt. The excite ment drew large crowd and the occu- pants were congratulated on the fact that the damages were not more se- rious.
 Dr. Hollowbush attended the suffer ing child, who is now getting along as well as could be could be expected.

 Wm. Zeckendorf was elected chair man on motion of Thos. Hughes, and Geo. H. Kelly, secretary. Mir. Zecken- dorf then addressed the meeting at some length, explaining that the meeting had been called for the purpose of consider ing the feasibility of building a wagon road from Tucson to Globe and to adopt such measures as may seem practicable for raising the necessary funds to build the road as preliminary outlined recent ly in a published report of Mai. 4. E. Miltimore, who had examined the route for the government.
 There was a good attendance of repre- sentative business men of Tucson and the proposition was thoroughly dis
 
 On motion and second a commit tee of three was appointed, viz: Al bert Steinfeld, Frank Allison and Thos. Hughes, for the purpose of prepar- ing q subscription list at once and present it to the business men and property owners present for contribu- tions, and that committee continue to solicit after the adjournmento of the meet ing until the required amount of money should be raised.
 Mir. Steinfeld drew up the following agreement:
 We the undersigned hereby subscribe the respective sums set opposite our names for the purpose of building prac- tical wagon road from Tucson to Globe and San Carlos to be thereafter approv- ed by us. The said respective sums of money to be paid only when a committee hereafter to be selected by us, to inspect and report upon the feasibility and cost of constructing said road, and thereafter to be approved by us.
 To the above the following signatures were obtained with the amounts set op-
