Nexss, and acting justice OF the peace,
Just after the ''slx shooter" law had been
passed. The law was very severe, the
highest penalty for violation being a
hne OF twenty-five dollars and confisca-

state were enforcing the law rigidly, es-
peeially In the country, as half the fine

Leghorn Straw Farming.

What Is known as Leghorn straw Is
raised on the hills which rise on each
side OF the rivers Pisa and Elsa, south OF
Florence, Italy. Its adaptability to the
uses to which 1t is destined depends
principally on the soil on which IL IL
sown, which soil, TO all appearances,
exists only In this email district, out OF
the bounds OF which the industry is un-
known. Any variety Of wheat which has
hollow, flexible stem can be used for
seed. The soil must be titled and pre-
pared very much as II is for corn, but the
seed Is sown five times as thick MS is
usual for other purposes; this Is done I'm
the month OF December or February.
When the straw IL full grown. and before
the grain begins TO form itself I'm the ear,
It Is uprooted and firmly tied i'm sheaves
the size OF n handful. Each sheaf or
menata, as 1t is called, is spread out In
the shape OF n fan to dry in the sun for
three days, after which It is slowed away
In barns. The harvest being over and
the fields empty, 1t Is again spread out
to catch the heavy summer dcws and to
bleach in the sun, during which process
II Is carefully turned until all sides are
equally white.

federate salutes her In such language that
