wheel Of the ore wagon. Wild with ter
ror still, Major began to run as he had
not run before. He climbed the bank
again, and resumed his tearing pace
along the roadway, his long name blown
over my face by the wind of his terrible
fight.
.'That night in the village the team
ster told his cronies that a ferocious look
ing Mexican highwayman had ridden
down upon him, frightened his mules
and fred several shots as he galloped
past. The sheriff heard the story and
gathered up posse of pioneers to look
for Joaquin Murietta and his desperate
gang, and for weeks the miners up in the
hills sent guard with their ore wagons.
81 reached Bemont's in safety only to
find that the doctor had returned to the
valley by another road, and was already
far past any chance of being overtaken;
for the condition of my horse now began
to warn me that I must slack the head
long pace. l hired rancher and sent
him on a fresh horse after the doctor,
whileI took the shortest way back across
the wide unfenced country.
'sWhen 1 reached home Mary had
been dead an hour. No human power
could have prolonged her life. She re-
vived little once after had gone and
asked if brother Tom had come home
No one except myself ever rode Major
again. l found it very hard to bear the
thoughts of my little sister that came
up when 1 was riding over the hills with
the mustang, so 1 turned him loosen the
pasture, and he never had saddlemark
but once since, though have had dozens
of men come to me and offer to buy him
at any price. 1t was great ride we had
the longest and hardest gallop on rec
ord in this part of the country, and
though / never said much about it, the
horse had his reputation.
when was he ridden again? 1t was
about four years afterward, when he
was at his best. There came word from
Caliente that a Merced horse had beaten
every mustang in the San Joaquin val
ley. The boys along the Kern county
cattle ranges for twenty-five miles tried
to beat the Merced mustang, but all
that summer he swept the stakes at ev-
cry sheep shearing and rodeo. One day
a dozen of them came for my mustang.
and lent him for one race, to save the
credit of the county. He busted them
all, and for months after horsemen came
to see him and get him on the race
track, but never let him go again. One
time and another have been called a
great many different kinds of fool for
letting the best horse in the valley rest
in the pasture. Charles Howard Shenn

FARM. FIELD, GARDEN.
TOPICS OF PRACTICAL INTEREST
TO PROGRESSIVE FARMERS.

Fertilization by Crop Rotation, De-
monstrate>si in Field aud Farm-A Sys-
tenn That Gives Aiternately a Nitrogen
Some authorities, among whom is Pro-
fessor Wagner, divide crop growth into
two very distinctly marked classes.
They are the nitrogen gatherers and nj
trogen consumers. Except a small
amount of nitrogen in the soil to start
the growth, the nitrogen gatherers draw
all their supply from the atmosphere. 1t
is therefore waste to supply nitrogen to
these crops. The nitrogen consumers
draw no perceptible amount of nitrogen
from the atmosphere, but take it all up
through the soil. and nitrogen must be
applied to the soil or furnished to the
soil by some other means. It may be
through the roots and stubble of a pre-
vious nitrogen gathering crop, or by the
direct application of nitrates. All crops
require potash and phosphoric acid, and
in some cases it may be necessary to sup
ply lime. Hence all soils should be fer
tilted with these three ingredients until
they contain so much that any addition
makes no perceptible increase of crop.
A soil 50 charged is in maximum con-
dition.
A system of rotation should be adopted
that will give alternately nitrogen
gathering crop and nitrogen consum-
ing crop. and there will be very little
demand for the application of nitrares,
as the nitrogen gathering crop will each
| time furnish the requisite amount of
nitrogen for the following nitrogen con-
sumfhS crop. In this way nature is
made to furnish to the soil the most cost
ly of all fertilizers. Such is the theory.
Now, what crops are nitrogen gathering?
The answer is, all the legulninous plants
AS peas, beans, clover, ludins, seradella
lentils, esparsetta, etc. What crops are
nitrogen consuming Answer: All the
cereals, the grasses, and some, if not ali, ,
of the roots, fruits, etc, including maize
and potatoes, wheat. rye, oats, barley
and so on. The proper rotation of these
two classes of crops, if the soil is well
| supplied with potash, phosphoric acid
and lime, is supposed to secure the maxi
mum crops and the most economical
fertilization-both the crops and the
economy to be enhanced by careful
and judicious saving and application of
all available fertilizing material ON the
farm.

The Root Growth of Corn.

1t is quite well known that growing
corn is often injured by deep plowing
but no instance is remembered where
the reasons for it have been better given
than has been done by the Illinois Ex-
pertinent station. The purpose of the
experiments were to ascertain the num-
ber of the roots of corn and their depth
at the points where they are likely to be
disturbed by deep cultivation. Nine
plants which averaged 12 inches high
had altogether "a roots, or an average of
over 10 apiece. The longest was traced 30
inches when the plant was % inches
high. A plant 44 inches high had a root
13 inches long. Three-fourths of the
roots would not have been broken by
cultivating 3 inches deep, but all except
one would have been at inches.
Seven other plants had 81 roots, of
which 78 were traced, with few excep-
tions, their entire length. Rather more
than three-fourths of the roots would
not have been broken by cultivation 8
inches deep; nearly two-thirds would
have been at inches. Over one-third
were inches deep at inches from their
base. Three went straight down. The
roots Except those at the seed, which
afterwards die) start usually at from one
to two inches from the surface, without
reference to the depth at which the seed
has been planted. In case the seed has
been planted deeper than this, the stem
is simply elongated between the first or
seminal whorl, and the second or first
modal whorl. Thus, unless necessitated
by dryness, nothing is gained by plant
ing corn over three inches deep. Deeper
planting would. merely require of the
plants extra force and time to reach a
position where the roots which eventu-
ally nourish them will grow.

The -Four Glasses of Com bs.

II. S. Babcock, writing in The Fan
cier's Review, reduces the variety of
combs upon our fowls to four classes:
First, the single comb of the original
progenitor of our domestic fowls and the
type toward which other combs con-
stantly tend to revert. 1t is upright,
should ~ straight, and normally is SER
rated upon the upper edge. The ten
dency to revert to this type manifests it
self even in old breeds. Second, the rose
comb, which differs from the single in
being broader, fiat upon the upper sur
face and usually terminating in spike
at the rear. The upper surface is gener-
ally covered with small points or CORFU
CATIONS, and is described by the English
fancier rs being "full of work" One of
the most peculiar forms of this comb is
that known as the 'cup comb" which
is found on the Sicilians. The comb is
round, followed out like cup or saucer,
and the outer edge covered with small
points.
Third, the pea comb, which is the
triple comb of the Bramah and round
upon Indian games, and bred upon the
more recent varieties of the Plymouth
Rocks. 1t has not been inaptly com
pared to three single combs pressed to-
gether at the rear and front, with the
middle one the highest. Pea combed
varieties have great regulations as win
ter layers. and this reputation has doubt
less been deserved through the immu.
nifty from frost which the comb gives.
The fourth is known as the leaf comb.
The true leaf comb would be, of course,
two single combs pressed together at
one edge and opening outwardly, style
of comb which is rarely seen, but from
which, in all probability, the combs of the
Polish and Houdan and even the upright
horns of the La F1eche have been evolved
The typical leaf comb of our day is
that of the Houdan, two horns more o,
less sprigged like the antlers of deer

STORM IN WASHINGTON.
Enormous Fir Trees Blown Down-A Del
uge That Does Much Damage.

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 1l.--There has
never been worse storm in western
Washington than that Of Saturday and
Sunday. The storm began on Saturday
afternoon and lasted until Sunday morn
ing,
Gigantic frs that have withstood the
storms Of centuries without losing as
much as bough were uprooted by the
hundred on the mountain sides.
Huge boulders many tons in weight be-
came detached, and crashed down the
precipitous sides of the canons and
gulches, and rain fell in torrents, swelling
the rivulets and brooks and rivers TO
overflowing.
The worst damage was done near
Weston, where cloudburst occurred.
The cloudburst filled the gulches and
ravnes. and the resistless flow OF water
swept everything in its path. Between
Weston and Tacoma the embankments or
approaches 90 numerous bridges crossing
the small streams were almost totally
washed away.
Reports were received this morning
that the telegraph wires between Port
land and Wallula on the Union Pacific
were down and traffic greatly delayed. A
landslide occurred at Orting, and Stuck
Valley is flooded

THE HEARING TODAY.
Mr.. Read Talks ofthe Smead System
and Mr.. FuIIer's Absence.

When the hearing on the city property
committees methods before the special
investigating committee of the City Coun-
Gil opened again this afternoon, Council
man Read was recalled and asked
why the Smead a. Norcross system Of
heating and ventilating was given the
preferance To the exclusion of the Fuller
a. Warren Company. He said that the
committee had given the Snead az Nor
cross system a personal Investigation
before il had been adopted and
that since its adoption by this city
IL had also been a success. "A representa-
tative of the Fuller a. Warren Company
had been given hearing as TO his system
by the city property committee, but that
company had never made any
bids bids for work ON the school,
hous in this city: He said no
meetings had been held this year, and Al
derman Fuller has been conspicuous for his
done by the committee to Mr.. Fuller
which should cause him to stay away He
had been absent at least fifteen times
and several OF these were among the
most important meetings of the year.
The Fuller a. Warren Company had
asked the committee to go and
see the workings OF their heating
apparatus, but the committee had never
had the time as yet. He had thought IL
would be good idea to go and see their
system work He never knew that the
Fuller a. Warren Company had ever Of
fered TO put their system In one OF the
school buildings: that il might be given a
trial by the city property committee.

THE STRIKE EXTENDING.
Situation on the Belt Line in St.
Louis Looks Serious.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE strike on
the Belt Line is rapidly assuming serious
aspect. The Belt Line handles nearly all
the freight brought over the Eastern roads
into the city, and a tie-up Of the Belt Line
will leave an immense amount of freight
consigned to St. Louis and seriously affect
the trade of this city Then, too, il the
men on the other roads refuse to haul
cars consigned to or from the Virgins
strike on the large Eastern roads will be
the result. A general railroad strike of
an alarming magnitude, which will seri-
ously affect trade all over the United
States, may therefore be impending.

LEPERs FROM NEW YORK.
They are Turned Loose In Victoria, Caus-
ling Great Excitement.

SEATTLE, Washington, Nov. 11.-Intense
excitement prevails at Victoria on account
of the turning loose there of the two
Chinese lepers, who arrived from New
York about two months ago. They had
been under guard in "A shanty down by the
bay but the Victoria City Council refused
to bear any more expense, and so the
guard was removed. As soon as the
doors were thrown open the lepers started
for Chinatown, but they were stunned by
all their fellow-countrymen and could
not get shelter. Then they came back to
the city and all day wandered up and
down the principal business streets in the
rain, appealing personally for help TO the
passers-by.
Every one gave them wide berth, and
finally they returned to their shanty. Both
the Provisional Government and the Pa.
cifc Railroad refused To contribute
toward the support of the wretches Some
fears are entertained here that an attempt
will be made TO smuggle them into the

Mr.. KITSON'S DESIGN.
What is Said About the Suggestion
of Imitation at Boston,

In regard to the suggestion that H. III.
Kitson might have initiated the Adams
design of fountain at Fitchburg in pre-
pairing that one accepted for the Dyer me-
mortal and then rejected by the park
commissioners, the Boston Journal says
A Journal reporter called at his STUDIO, 10
Chauncey street, yesterday, and there learned
that several leading artists had called TO ex-
press their opinions on the matter. All were
OF the belief that Mr.. Kitson's design was an
original one.
One gentleman said: Both men are my
personal friends, and as an impartial judge i
will say that l cannot find the least similarity
between the pieces. Three years ago / was in
Paris and there visited Mr.. Adams at his
studio. He was working upon his statue at
this is its description: The main figure is that
of a boy about 10 years of age, standing upon
forward % s Very y pc perceptiby, & While % the head head
slightly inclines 10 the front. He seems TO be
pleased at some sight in the distance, the ex-
arm hangs by the side. while the hand clutches
the end of a reed or cat-o-nine tail.
With his left hand upheld be bends the
reed; The left M leg is Is thrown slightly forward
boy OF 4 or years. His back and head is all
that can be seen, and his attitude is fright
ened one. A turtle, perhaps foot long, is on
the rock also. / do not remember further par
ticulars. Both men are talented and strong,
we'll up in their occupations. Mr.. Adams Is n
Fitchburg man, studied in Boston, but is at
present working in Paris. am sure II he knew
the existing state of affairs he would soon set
tie the matter by stating that Mr.. Kitson's
work does not resemble his"
Mr.. Kitson was born In Huddersfield, Eng
land, and came To America when quite young,
beginning his studies here. When Is years
old he went 10 Paris and studied for two years
at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. Returning to
New York he proceeded with his studies and
came TO Boston several years ago. In his stu
dio is the unfinished statue, in plaster, of Ad-
miral FaTragut for the city of Boston.
Mr.. Adams is equally well known, and is
considered by many TO be one of the leading
sculptors of this country. The outcome of the
misunderstanding IL eagerly awaited by lovers
of art.
Mr.. Kitson to Have n Hearing.
