Breedins on the Horn..

"
In '88 l had a herd of horned cows.
l did not want to cut Off their horns.
but determined to get rid of them in
some manner. l bred them to a polled
bull whose mother was q horned cow
To my surprise but one in ten of the
calves had horns. In 81 I had a finc
herd Of polled heifers, having sold ali
my horned cattle. These polled heifers
thus produced from horned mothers lv
a bull from a horned mother never
have had a horned calf, although all
my bulls have been from horned
mothers. This shows how easy it ia
to breed off horns. True, it takes time.
yet l think it is the best way.
In my experience l finG horned cat-
tie require as much agair stable o
as polls, for I herd all my young cattle
In u large pen, like sheep, until they
are ready to drop their first calves.
All the older cattle r kept in another
shed In the same way unless I milk
them; thec for convenience I nat
them in stalls. They gather ut the
feed troughs as thick as they can
crowd, none disturbing the others.
1t is not o%ne-fourth the labor to stable
them. since ] \ no chains, %stanchions
or halters. None are vicious or wild.

With the Qualities. Of a Speaker.

The two qualities in a speaker which
most delight a reporter are lucid think
ing and distinct utterances; and, what
ever else they may lack, most Of the
great parliamentarians of the day pos
sess these two qualities. Old report
ers will tell you that public speaking
has undergone a complete revolution

In style and manner. Statesmen like
Bright and Disraeli and Gladstone-to
different styles of the fine art of ora
tory-always spoke slowly, deliberate
ly and impressively, and the average
reporter never had any difficulty in
taking them.
But the style Of speaking popular
nowadays in parliament is what is
called 1.-THE conversational STYLE" u
free and rapid flow Of words, which
not infrequently taxes all the report

Farm Notes.

A fretful, nervous horse is, as a rule,
a poor article to start out with on a
long campaigning tour.
The man who buys now and breeds
his horses intelligenty will in 1900
have youngsters ready for the market,
when there will be plenty Of men will
ing to buy at good prices.
The farmers about Valparaiso, Ind.
claim that nearly half the wheat crop
has been killed by the Hessian fly. In
some places whole. fields. have been
utterly ruined.
In Montgomery county, ILL.,, the Hes.
sian fly and the long continued dry
weather have ruined over 80 per cent
Of the wheat crop. Farmers in the
southern part Of the county are plow-
ing most of the wheat under and
planting corn.
Avoid the lunkhead horses; breed
the best; breed none but the best;
breed from nothing but your best and
look out sharp to improve on the next
cross, and whenever your dam is lack
ing be sure the sire you use is not
lacking in the same point, and, IL DOS
sible, not lacking in any essential quail
iication.
Some day it will be discovered that
certain kinds Of horses are scarce, but
that several years will elapse before
the demand can be fully met. Rises
come as q thief in the night. No one
is ever expecting them until it is too
late to stock up, but If everybody knew
just when the rise is to take place
there would be no rise.
Examine carefully the teeth Of every
horse and colt on the place. If the
teeth are sharp and cut the cheeks
and prevent proper mastication Of the
food your horse will be in poor condl-
ton no matter what you feed him.
Sharp teeth will cause them to throw
up their heads, drive on line, etc. All
long or irregular teeth must be short.

Harvesting the Alfalfa Crop.

The methods and time vary, but Sec
rotary Coburn (Kansas) summarizes
reports from 1900 practical growers
of this crop all over the West in these
words:

His conclusions are that unless M
buys feed in the summer when it Is
cheap the winter feeding of mutton
sheep is a delusion, so far as profits
are concerned. The prices sound big
when sales are made, but when the
cost of the feed is figured, together
with other incidental and unavoidable
expenses, his conclusion is that the
sheepmen will do just as well to sell
ut home and let somebody else make
the profit there is in feeding. Mr..
Cree fed from 80 to 11S days on wheat
screenings, for which he paid $11.5O a
ton. He fed in all ego tons and the
same feed could have been bought last
summer at Sc a ton. Right here he
claims is all the profit there is in the
percentage of moisture necessary to
be got rid of before it is properly cured

in stack or NOV; although, as is well
known, a very important drying and
curing process takes place after stor-
ing hay that at the time appeared far
from sufficiently or even safely dry.
Those who irrigate find it very profit
able to flood their ground some little
time before each cutting In order to
stimulate and start at once the sue

not be wet at the time of cutting, as
such q condition seriously interferes
with and retards the prompt and thor

The ordinary machinery for thresh-
ing such crops as wheat and oats is
unsatisfactory and wasteful for al
falfa, and a separator more of the
character of a clover huller is much
better adapted to its threshing. When
cured alfalfa easily drops both its
leaves and seeds; hence the gentlest
and least possible handling in it's care,
and prompt storing when once dried,
should be aimed at.
The ripened alfalfa from which seed
has been threshed is counted of little
value by some feeders, yet many 9TH
ers esteem it almost OF quite as highly
as if cut earlier for hay alone. That
it has considerable feeding value can
scarcely be controverted.

Nothing Can Be Done Until the Answer
to the Complaint Is Filed.
San Francisco, May Al. D. Nc
Kissick, special counsel of the United
States to prosecute the suit against the
Stanford estate for the recovery of about
$15, 900, 600, received instructions today
to hurry up the hearing Of the case.
He lost no time in calling upon United
States District Attorney Foote, but
under the circumstances nothing can be
done. in the matter, for Mrs. Stanford's
attorneys have not filed an answer to
the complaint.
Mrs. Leland Stanford was in Wash
ington last Wednesday, and she called
upon the attorney general. She was
anxious to have the suit against her
husbands estate expedited as rapidly
as possible. Mr.. Foote, referring to
her visit, said:
MRS. Stanford is trying to put the
blame on the United States, but it will
not do. The cause Of delay is due en-
tirely to her or her attorneys. The
subpoena was served on Mrs. Stanford
and the executors of the estate about
March 16 last They have had ample
time to file their pleadings, but have
failed to do SO. In consequence, the
government could take no action until
the first rule day in this month. Nc
Kissick received his instructions from
Attorney General Olney, but under the
circumstances he can do nothing until
rule day. The onus Of the delay rests
upon Mrs. Stanford and her counsel
and we await their pleasure. As usual
rule day will be in chambers, and If M
lpleadings have been field the specia
counsel will ask to have the case go by
default Mr.. McKissick is ready ant
J willing to press the suit, but, as yor
see, he can do nothing toward hurry
ing matters until Mrs. Stanford ha
filed her pleadings. -

II Successfully withstood the Most
Severe Test.


Severe Test.
Washington, May AT the Indian
Head proving ground there was con-
test yesterday between the biggest guns
Of the navy and an eighteen-inch Har-
veyized steel plate, made by the Car
negie works, with unprecedented re.
suits. After firing twice at the great
piece Of steel with twelve-inch rifle
without making any practical impress
sion on it, the great "Peacemaker," as
the thirteen-inch gun is called, dis
charged its half-ton projectile, and
though driven bodily back into the
sandbank supporting it, the plate sur
yived.
The plate was finished to size, and
cost about $40, 1t weighed 49,
800 pounds, was 18 feet 1-2 inches
long, feet s 1914 inches wide, and
was of tapering thickness, being eigh-
teen inches at the top and extending
four feet down, where the taper to eight
inches in thickness at the bottom be-
gan. 1t represented second lot Of
plate for the side armor Of the battle
ship Oregon, nearly completed at San
Francisco 1t was attached to back
ing Of 36 inches Of solid oak by 26
three-inch bolts, the entire structure
being firmly anchored in hill side
about 100 yards from the muzzle Of the
gun battery.
After two tests with the twelve-inch
gun, the plate was accepted by the gov
ernment, and then it was decided by
the chief Of ordinance to attack it with
the greatest of naval weapons, the big
thirteen inch gun. A thirteen-inch
Carpenter shell, weighing 100 pounds
driven by 4S9 pounds Of powder, spec
tally adapted to this gun, was dis
charged with velocity Of 1910 feet
per second. 1t had the unprecedented
striking energy Of 25, 900 foot tons, and
its impact was only thirty-two inches
to the left of the first shot. The result
was remarkable. A crack three inches
wide extended some distance and tht
shell after penetrating ten inches was
as one of the officers declared, almost
pulyerized. The solid oak bracing,
however, demonstrated the terrific
energy of the projectile, for it was spill
into kindling wood.
The plate is said to indicate that th'
endless fight between gun and armol
which has recently been one-sided il
the guns favor, is now about tie, ant
that with the reforging process the ar
NOR may soon be made invulnerable t
any weapon.

Cases at Oakland Dropped.

San Francisco, May 4.-The local
federal officials have received word
from Attorney General Olney to drop
all legal proceedings against the Oak
land strikers. When the jury disagreed
in the protracted Cassidy case, Mr.. Oh
ney was said to have ordered new

and upon his advice the matter will
now be dropped. The American Rail-

the base of the mountain have been
forced to abandon their homes and flee

ashes have destroyed the growing crops
and much valuable property in that Sec
ton. The fire which issues from the
crater presents magnificent sight al

The suit OF Young SpreckeIs Against
His Father for Slander.
San Francisco, May 4.-The deposi-
tions are being taken in the 100000
damage suit of @. A. Spreckels against
his father, Claus Spreckels, the sugar
king, for alleged SANDER. G. A.
Spreckels devoted several hours yester-
day to telling why he sued his father
for SANDER. Claus Spreckels will tell
today why he made the statements to
which his son takes exception. The
statements of each will be used in the
coming trial. While the young man
could not mention any particular oc-
casion where he had suffered finacially,
he said his general reputation had been
injured. All of the spreckels' millions,
he said, would notS compense him
for the damage done his standing in the
community. The suit for SANDER is
based ON an article published several
weeks ago in which Claus Spreckels
was quoted as saying that G. A. Spree
kels and his younger brother had at
tempted to defraud him of large sum
of money, and that G. A. Spreckels
was poor business man and would
soon be bankrupt.

HARRIS FEELS AeGRIEvED.
Thinks Judge Bellinger Has Put Him
In . Bad Light.

San Francisco, May Agent Har-
ris feels that Judge Bellinger, of Port
land, has put him in bad light by re-
fusing to sentence doc" Davenport,
the notorious counterfeiter who told
the court he was tricked into making
the money by the representations Of
Charles French, employed by Harris.
In passing ON the case the Portland
judge said:
Detectives of the government have
no right to aid in the commission of a
crime and to come into court and ask
that the criminal be punished.
Speaking of the matter today, Mr..
Harris said:
"The whole thing is wrong. l hired
one Charles French to help secure coun-
terfeit money from the notorious Dav-
export, but he took no part in inducing
Davenport to commit the crimes. Dav-
export has served a term for making
bad coins and he is notorious counter
feiter. There are scores of young men
whose downfall is due to him. -
