SPOILED A BULL FIGHT.
The Presence of Secretary
Holbrook Puts an End
to the Sport.
The Management, However, Give
an Excellent Exhibition OF
Fancy Riding.

All that prevented a genuine bull-fight
from taking place yesterday in San Fran
cisco was the presence of the strong arm
of the law, in the person of Secretary Hol-
brook of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals.
Late Saturday night and early yesterday
morning the report was quietly circulated
that al bull-fght worthy of the capital
city of the republic Immediately south OF
here would take place at o'clock yester-
day afternoon. incidentally it was given
out that some fancy riding by few of the
prominent cow-oatehers of Butchertown,
would also be one of the attractions.
In response to this quiet tip several hun
dred people, including score or more of
ladies, gathered at Golden City House
gardens out on the San Bruno road, pre-
pared to see a battle royal. Their spirits
dropped to Zero however, when Secretary
Holbrook, accompanied by two deputies,
appeared on the scene. 1t needed no an
nouncement from William, Familiarity
known as Billy Smith, who was man
aging the affair, that the bull-fight part of
the programme was off-irrevocably off.
The assembled hundreds accepted the stu
alton gracefully, as did also Smith and his
assistants.
The fancy riding part of the programme
was then pilt on and most creditable exhi-
bltion was given. Senior Frank Rojas, Will
liam Smith and Charles Wilson amused
the audience with all sorts of skillful
tricks-mounting and dismountlng with
their horses at full gallop, picking up bits
of paper lassoing horses, etc.
An interesting and exciting feature of
the afternoon was a wrestling match on
horseback between Senior Rojas and
Charles Wilson. Two falls were secured
by each, when the match was declared
draw.
The audience was quiet and orderly, and
while it regretted the forced elimination
of the bullfight 1t was highly pleased with
the performance as given. An effort was
made to secure the consent of Secretary
Holbrook to ''dodging match" between a
steer and Senior Rojas, but the secretary
would have none of it. ut is a case" he
said, 'of giving an inch and taking an
ell"
And his dictum went.

An Ideal Day Draws a Large Number of
City Marksmen.
The ranges at Shell Mound Park were
astir with rife marksmen yesterday and
among the number of company records
registered there were some very creditable
scores.
The park lawns had their customary
throng of picnic visitors, and what with
dancing and races and the swings the
merry makers had a right good time. The

The picnic was what is called summer
evening outing and lasted until nearly
midnight. During the late hours the pro-
gramme was enliyened with large num-
Der of fireworks.
The members of Company of the
Naval Reserve fired goodly bit of lead at
the targets in the competition for the
Huber, Smith and company medals. The

After planting strawberries always
hoe at once and cultivate once a week
to keep the soil mellow.
Oae of our Western farmers declares
that more corn can be grown in drills
than in hills. Of course.
The separator is coming more and
more into use. 1t will pay wherever
there are at least five good COWS
Clover is an important farm crop,
both as to it's intrinsic value for stock
and as to the good it does the land.
1t is a good plan to begin to prepare
the strawberry bed a year before, Ma,
nure heavily and plant to some hoed
crop.
Time is too precious to waste with a
poor churn. Get a good one. There
are enough of them and they are cheap
enough.
1t is best not to take strawberry
plants from old beds, for even the
young plants lack vitality. Select
your plants from beds that have never
truited.
There is a heave demand for straw
berries, peas and early vegetables in
the North, but times are so hard that
only the rich can buy at the fancy
prices demanded.
Wheat can be grown in the Alps at
an elevation of 3, 600 feet; in Brazil at
i've thousand; in the Caucasus at eight
thousand; in A0yssinia at ten thou

thousand.
The time will come when growing
peas and soiling the COWS with them
will be a universal practice. DAlrymen

of green food for spring and summer
use. This can we'll be a suOJecG OF
thought and foresight by every thrifty
farming community.
The outdoor silo stack can be oullt
up at any convenient point for spring
and summer feeding to take the place
of the variety of soiling crops Whlch
REQUIRE so much forethought and labor
in the busiest season of the year. Thls
storing of food in a cheap form can be-
come one of the greatest safeguards
against droughts and failure of crops. "
Every farmer in North Carolina with
some degree of faith in this can secure
good wholesome cheaply cured food for
COWS, .eers, sheep, horses and mules.
If weather is bad do not bother with
fodder or to try to cure hay but stack
as per Mr.. Rahilly's plan and save time
and expense and make better forage.
The smaller the stack the greater the
ratio of surface to contents and the
greater will be the loss. Hence to stack
silege make as large stack as possible
to insure the best results Do not mind
the weather, but once begun go on to
the end, rain or shine. If the crop is a
little too dry the rain will benefit it,
and if put up in dry weather a free use
of water will greatly aid in preserving
the silage. FRANK E. EMERY.

I noticed an article in The PRoGREs
sIvE FARMER of April 23d, from Bryan
Tyson, stating that stable manure
thrown into a heap and permitted to
heat was valueless.
The inquiry wish to make is: What
is the most expedient method of pre-
pairing manure for spreading9 Should
it be piled at all And if so, what plan
should be resorted to to keep it from
heating9 Is piling, without heating to
some extent, any advantage3 There is
great diversity of opinion in this, part
as to whether or not, using the various
acids prepared for the purpose of COM
posting, is profitable. We would be
glad to get Mr.. Tyson's opinion as to
the best method of composing.

RISE AND FALL OF THE COTTON
CROP.

The late and wet spring, while a
worry to the farmers, will doubtless
have more effect in reducing the area
of the cotton crop than all the conven-
tions and resolutions that have been
held and passed. The constant rainfall
has kept the farmers from preparing
their land, and the result will be that
a much smaller area will perforce be
planted. This, added to the fact that
there is a general resolution to plant
less cotton, will doubtless tend to largely
reduce the cotton crop of 1895. Then
the danger will be that the price will
go up to point next fall that will set
all crazy again, and lead to general
planting in 1896.
The low price of cotton is gradually
having good effect in inducing better
and more varied farming in the South,
and it would be a serious injury to
agricultural progress if rise should
cause the farmers torush thoughtlessly

tester

A cheap and convenient tester
may be made as follows: take as many
tumblers or jelly glasses as you have
cows, fill each to the brim with the
milk from each COW, and let them stand
for twelve hours, and you will have a
fair idea of the cream or butter pro-
duclng capacity of your COWS. We do
not recommend this to take the place
OF the Babcock test or even the churn
but any sort of test is better than
none at all.

back to the old methods. There 10
nothing that the Southern farmer needs
to know more than systematic and
business like farming, and there is
nothing he is so slow to learn 50 long
as he can grow cotton at profit under
the old methods, by speculating in fer.
tilizers for the chance of a crop. It is
a species of gambling which, like all
gambling, is destructive to all real
steady business prosperity. So olong as
the chances seem in his favor he will
grow cotton, and cotton only, and the
best thing about the hard lesson of
low prices is that it has compelled a
change of price, and has started spirit
of improvement that should grow and
increase until the worn cotton lands of
the South are redeemed and farmed in
a proper manner. While, therefore,
better prices for the staple the coming
season would be temporarily a help,
it is greatly to be feared that the effect
would be to retard the progress now so
we'll begun toward better farming.
It would seem that the hard lesson
ought by this time to be we'll learned,
but the tendency in human nature, and
particularly agricultural human ma
ture, to rush after that which promises
Immediate profit is so great, that we
dread high prices for cotton as tending
to bring back the very state of affairs
from we seem about to escape through
the agency of hard times. Cotton, in
all the cotton belt, is of course the best
money crop, and the efforts that some
are making to seek some other single
crop to take the place of cotton, place
which cotton should never have had,
are all wrong. Under the influence of
low prices the growing of cotton by
men without capital, who are carried"
by the merchants, must of necessity
cease. But cotton can be grown at a
margin by men with means to pay cash
for labor, and who grow cotton in
we'll devised rotation of crops, planned
for the improvement of the soil, and
who grow the maximum crop per acre
on fewer acres, and at the same time
grow peas, clover, small grain and
corn, with plenty of forage for stock,
and keep the b-st of stock, and in
word farm instead of plant.
With cotton as the surplus crop in a
rotation where all the expenses are met
by the other crops, it will be under the
control of the farmer, and he will not
be compelled to send it to market at
the order of the merchant, but can
largely control the market. Adversely
is hard school, but is gradually bring
ing about just this state of affairs. I
would like our farmers to get good
prices for the coming cotton crop, but
I would fear the result for the future.

TO PROTECT MELON VINES
FROM INSECTS.
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
BURLINGTON, N @.
noticed in your issue of the 9th of
April an article from Bryan Tyson on
melon culture, headed 1.-The immense
fertilizing properties of carbonic acid
gas" In said article several remedies
were given to protect vines from in
sects, but have one that for simplicity
and general efficiency will, think
beat them all.
A few days before you plant your
watermelon patch dig upsmall patches
of ground say six to IL inches square,
IN the immediate vicinity of your
melon patch and SOW therein water
melon seed. When these seed come up
the plants being tender by reason of
being crowded in the bed, insects,
especially the striped bug, will attack
them in preference to those planted in
the hills. At proper time box filed
with straw or leaves may be suddenly
placed over a bed, mouth or open side
down, and the straw or leaves set on
fire, thus destroying the insects and
at the same time destroying the plants.
But one general destruction will usually
protect the vines in the hills from
further depredations. The plan has
been thoroughly tested and worked like
a charm. JOHN A. JONES.

T0 guard against the ravages of in

Accustom your horses to a low, calm
tone of voice and it anything breaks,

will always be manageable. Toe horse

as it is possible to do so.

Now is the time to breed for good
horses, for before you know it a great
demand will be upon you and unless
you are ready you cannot partake of
the benefits. The time will surely come
and come quickly, for the crop of good
horses is very short.

PEGS sown as early in spring as pos
sible make good feed for hogs. This
crop is not appreciated by our farmers
as it should be, and probably will
be in the near future. They are ready
for use just when the pasture begins to
fail and before any other farm crop is
available.
