His Protectors and His Murderers

His Protectors and His Murderer s
In Bexar Counry--To Correct
an EVIL.
Hunters and sportsmen of this city
are working to protect their interests
and enforce the game law in Bexar
county, and somebody will hear some
thing drop pretty soon. Their special
attention Is now directed toward the
quail, which they are determined to
protect, that is: see that poor Robert
White is killed in the regular way
with a shot gun and given some show
for his alley. Lately enormous guam
titles of quail have been received in
this city and sold readily, as the birds
have been somewhat scarce in the
market. So much quail arriving has
set the boys to thinking and On ex-
animation of the dead birds they
learned that the quail had been
killed with very fine bird shot, too
fine, in fact, to kill them at the regu-
lation distance at which they gener-
ally rise when flushed. Further in
yes Ggation resulted in the knOwl-
edge that farmers and their sons have
been trapping and netting the quail
Oh their ranches, and then killing
them in the coop by putting small
bird shot into them, in order to avoid
detection of their violation of the
game law against trapping and net
ting quail. These same farmers re-
fuse to allow city sports to shoot on
on their ranches, and now the reason
is plain, and they have been doing a
thriving business as pot hunters
The story about the rabbits dy-
ing by the hundreds from some
unknown disease, and which the
LIGHT published recently on the
of a young gentleman
who had been told it by a farmer out
OH the Salado, is also pronounced
false, as numbers of rabbits have
been since shot and eaten in this city
and were found to be all right. Nor
have any dead or diseased rabbits
been found. The farmers have also
been killing these animals and ship
ping them to the nearest railway
towns for sale.

Trimming Apple Trees.

| have seen many inquiries in the
papers as to the time to trim apple
trees. | write, giving my views,
which are based upon actual observa-
ton and experiment for many years.
I would decidedly recommend to
trim in the fall during the latter part
of October or during the month of
November. Now for the reason why.
After the seasons growth of fruit and
wood of the trees has ceased, the
bark is firm, and but very little if
any sap is in the wood, and a limb
cut off at this season will Immediately
dry over and become seasoned and
hard, and the next spring when ma
ture puts forth her efforts to heal the
wound, the bark will close over the
dry and seasoned part, and no rot to
the detriment of the trees will occur,
whereas, if trimmed in the spring,
the sap will keep the wound wet all
summer, and the next summer and
the next. | have only to step into
my neighbor's orchard, which | did
only Saturday last, and closely ex-
amined the ends of limbs that were
cut three years ago this spring, and
/ found them rotten and wet, to the
extent of wetting the bark to a slight
degree on outside of the tree.
Some of the smaller limbs are nearly
healed over, while those of an inch
and half in diameter will take an
other seasons growth to enclose the
rotten stump, which ever must be
detriment to the health and growth
of the tree, and | claim, will in some
future day be the cause of the death OF
the tree. In my own orchard where
| trimmed in the fall, no such condi.
ton of the stump exists; it is hard
and dry, and will heal without rot.
My observations for many years
have been in accordance with what !
have stated and commenced on the
cold Farm" while | was yet in my
teens. My fathers orchard was nearly
all natural fruit in my early days,
and bore enormous loads of apples,
that frequently would split a limb off
from the side of another, in the fall,
when the fruit had attained its full size
and the wounded limb would always
dry up and not rot, even if it did not
heal. l have written thus lengthy to
give those who have not been able to
give the subject their attention, the
benefit of my experience. | would
add, don't spoil youryoung and thrifty
growing orchards by trimming in the
spring.

They All Had the Big Head.

An anecdote is told illustrating the
prevalence of the "big head" ut Wash
ington. A Republican in the western
part of New York, who is an ardent
admirer of James @. Blaine, was a
candidate for a position in the Gov
eminent Printing Office. Armed with
strong peti..'n he went to Washing
ton. Returning after few days he
was asked what kind of a time he had.

"Oh, no; Harrison has the big head

About Deep Flowing.

While l agree with you that deep
loosening Of the soil is protection
against drouth, / think turning a
furrow eight to ten or twelve inches
deep will be a lasting and serious
injury to the land. A few years ago,
trench, or as it was called, sub-soil
blowing was all the rage. 1t was
done by one pillow following another
in the same furrow. The first turned
six or seven inches of the surface into
the bottom of the deep furrow; the
second raised five to six inches from
the bottom of the same furrow, and
inverted it on top of that turned by
the first. 1t buried the weed seeds
which lay on the surface, so that it
made clean cultivation-but it was
soon found that it buried the vegeta-
bic matter, the humus, the aerated
and oXidized surface soils as deep
as the weed seed, and the productive
ness of the land decreased in geomet-
rical proportion to the depth of the
blowing. A neighbor of mine told
me he trenched field ten to twelve
or thirteen inches deep, and did not
get fair crop from it again in ten
years, and such was the united testi-
mony of all who trench plowed, and
it was abandoned. To clean a very
foul piece of land, it is sometimes
practiced, but never to make both
plowings more than four to six inches
deep. When [ first came to Illinois,
Horace Greeley, in his articles on
agriculture, recommended deep plow-
ing-plow deep was reiterated in
every article. As we all in my neigh
borhood took the Tribune, and swore
by Greeley, we resolved to put it in
practice, so we gagged the depth only
by the strength of the team, but we
found in the fall that the weakest
teams raised the best corn.
One man had a powerful span Of
horses, and plowed most of his ground
ten or twelve inches deep. One horse
got lame, and he supplied his place
with colt, and was forced to pillow
only three inches, and the three-inch
blowing yielded twice as much as the
deep blowing. | could not say from
memory whether the season was wet
or dry, but think not extreme either
way. To turn a four or fve-inch
furrow and follow with the English
subsoiler, which loosens but does not
invert, would doubtless be good policy;
but to bury the surface soil ten inches
deep and replace it with the dead in
ert soil from that depth will ruin our
land.

West virginia's Resources.


Ex-senator johnson n. Camden has
been at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, for
a few days. says the New York Star.
Mr.. Camden is railroad builder OF
great Importance in his native State.
He got his start in life in the early
DAYS of the oil excitement in West
Virginia, and has been climbing up
the financial and political ladder ever
since. He belongs to one of the old
est families in the State, for the de-
velopment of which he has done so
much. He is now building system
of railroads of his own into the isolated
locality where he was born and where
he struggled for beginning in life.
This is as much a matter of sentiment
with him. as for money-making pur-
poses. He says it is missionary eff
fort. Speaking of the development OF
the South, he said:
81 am combining myself almost to
the building of a little system of rail
roads which l have long had in view.
My present operations are confined to
a new road from Clarksburg to Fair
mont, for connection with the Balti-
more and Ohio system. This road
connects at Clarksburg with narrow
gauge line which I built some time
ago, running from that point to Yves
ton, where | first began life. Then |
am building railroad from Weston
to Braxton c.. II. which will event
ually be extended to a connection
with the railroad from Parkersburg
down the Ohio river to Charleston, in
which / am interested. Then have
line running from Weston to Buck
harmon.
"The fact is that West Virginia is
richer in undeveloped resources than
any equal number of miles of terrific
nv in the United States. Our adj
vancement so far has been seriously
retarded by the lack of railroad facil-
tiles.
"What is true of West Virginia, |
take it, is in a great measure true OF
the whole South. although naturally
/ do not pay much attention to it.
You must bear in mind that when the
war closed had it not been for the an
imosities of reconstruction the South
would have been regarded as a more
valuable field for investment and the
higher class of immigration than the
great West. The great need of our
section is and has been small farmers.
The well-tilled acres upon which di-
versifed agriculture is intelligently
represented are the wealth Of any COM
munity. In West Virginia and in all
parts of the South what we need is in
telligent, thrifty people who desire to
make homes for themselves and their
families. Now that the animosi!ics of
the war are dead, we are slowly at
tracing that class of people. The
ratio of its increase will be greater
every year. The South is better off
to-day than ever before in its history,
and in less than twenty years will be
weather. and happier than ever. The
present Improvement is really only
the beginning Of what is to come"
