leouMlNous CROPS FOR FEEDING.
Opinions In IA Farmers Bulletin From the
Department of Agriculture.


Progressive farmers in many sections
are growing more leguminous crops be-
cause they believe that these furnish
the cheapest food for stock and the
cheapest manure for the soil. With the
leguminous cops these farmers obtain
from the air substance necessary for
plants and animals alike, which costs
in the form OF fertilizers and feeding
stutfs from ID 20 - cents per pound
Here l. a plea for these crops for feed
ing purposes as set forth IN farmers

These Wis Have Been Originated In AT
I~sst Three Different Ways.

Isast Three Different Ways.
The Buff Wyandotte is of much more
recent origin than are the Silver White
and the Golden Wyandottes. They are
recognized. however a. distinct vari
ETY. 10y the American Poultry associa-
ton, although recognized authority,
writing 10 Country Gentleman, says
that purchasers who expect every
chicken reared from Buff Wyandotte
eggs IN 1854 10 Ice true TO standard de-
.cription viii assurcdly be diSappoint-
ed. The authority quoted tells of three
ways 10y which these Buff Wyndottes
have been originated.
Firstly crossing the Golden Wy.
andotte and the Buff Cochin The Gold
on Wyandotte itself originated IN sew
cral Ways-by cross of the Silver Wy
andotte and the Wimcbago, the Silver
Wyandotte and the Buff Cochin the
Silver Wvandotte and the Partridge Co

shanks i'm this strain of the Buff Wy
andotte, and it need not be surprising

shauks for some years 10 come.
Secondly crossing the Golden Wy
andotte and the Rhode Island Red

requirements, but has been developed on
the farm, of Rhode Island and vicinity
with but the one thought of producing a
good farm fowl 1t Is believed TO have
some Cochin blood and some blood of
other breeds in its makeup. The shanki
are for the most part free from feathers.
The Buff WyandOttcs from this eros,
are scarcely a. large As those from the
Cochin cross, but are, as rule, better
layers and have fewer chickens with
feathers on the ShankS.
Thirdly breeding from Golden
Wyandotte> only, selecting each year
sose which showed the least black
marking, This claim has been made by
one or more western breeders, and il i
possible that a strain of Bluffs might III
this way be produced.

hardly pay 70 build a fence around a
large western farm for the sake Of keep
ing cut thistlcs and here comes in the
remarkable part Of the suggestions. 1t Is
proposed 10 sow double row Of sun

making a temporary fence which would

FOREST TRESPASSERS
Sheep and Cattlemen rust Not Drive Herds
on Government Reserves

WASHINGTON, July u. The secretary
of the interior has reque ested the attorney
general to direct the United States dis
trict attorneys in California and Oregon
to proceed criminally against trespasscrs
on the forest reservations Of the United
Sta tes.
Heretofore there has been some doubt
among the attorneys under what law such
tresspaseIs could be prosecuted but
abundant authority is contained IN the
law passed in 1875, which prescribes
fine of not over $500 and Imprisonment of
not over one year for each trespass.
The principal trespassers in the west
ern states are the sheep and cattle men
who drive their herds on the government
lands and cursh down or burn the under
brush. which holds back the melting
SHOWS OF the spring, causing disastrous
freshots. 1t is this source of damage that
the department is desirous of putting an
end to. Another class of tim Der trespais-
ers. those IN which the wood is actually
stolen for use or sale, are more prevalent
around the western great lakes than on
the Pacific coast. They are generally set
tied by civil suits for the recovery OF the
manufactured value of the timber stolen.
The present instructions do not apply to
them.

OAKLAND. July 12.-Professor Henry
Krause of this city. seer, musician and
psychic, eats no meat, sleeps in coffin
instead of bed with only scanty
blanket to cover him. and says that when
he retires to his gruesome couch his spirit
penetrates into the future and he reads
the destiny of the race.
Krause seems to be an educated, up to
date citizen, and talks plausibly in de-
fense Of his peculiar habits. He says his
bodily habits and his spiritual achieve
ments are all based upon strictly scienti-
fic principles. His coffin bed is con-
structed of rude pine boards. He says
that the custom OF sleeping on soft beds
is responsible for much Of the enervation
in modren civilization. A hard. unyield-
ing couch. he declares, is conducive to
rugged health. As for the coffin part of
the programme Professor Krause says it
is daily reminder Of the brevity of life,
and is helpful, as it enables him at night
to concentrate his mind upon the invis
ible world.
If it were practicable, he says he would
go naked. He has great admiration for
Captain Won Schmidt, who, without
clothing, braves wind and rain on the
Oakland estuary. and who is one OF the
most robust men in California. Professor
Krause built six collins for his children
to sleep in, but they continue to repose
on spring mattresses. He has succeeded,
however. IN getting some of them to
adopt his vegetarian diet.

ovation of 6000 feet. and the party had no
sooner arrived at that altitude than Per-
dew became violently insane.
He threatend his own life as we'll as
those of all the members of the party, and
he finally was considered so dangerous
that he was bound hand and foot and
held until arrangements were made to
bring his back to this city. He was then
strapped to q burro with his hands tied
behind him and two of the party, one
riding In front and one behind, stTarted

over to the stage driver to be brought on
down to this valley.
On their way down Perdew succeeded
in getting his hands united and des-

The insane man was finally overpowered
with the assistance of a passenger and
brought on to Redlands. AS they con-
tinued to descend he became more quiet
and when the level of the valley was
reached he had become perfectly tractable.
After resting today he seems to be en-
tirely sane, no i'll effects of his encounter
with high attitudes being noticeable.
The case is similar to that of Mrs. Vol
