When the court convened in Septem-
Der, Hudson presented to Judge Parker
his bond in the sum of $4,000. and
asked to be discharged from custody.
Judge Parker refused to approve the
BOND or to discharge the prisoner. and
made the following entry in the courts
records respecting the order of Judge
White: N'7
1t is found by the judge of this
court that the above order is made with
out authority of law, and is therefore
Invalid, and that the bond approved by
him in obedience to it would be mil
ana void, and that there would be no
obligation of the sureties to have the
principal in court when and where he
IS required by the terms of the bond "a
appear as required by the terms of the
bond For the above reasons the iudsa
OF this court refuses to approve the
BOND rendered by the defendant: and
1urther, IT is noted that defendant has
made no legal tender of bail"
Judge Parker then suggested that he
was willing to appear before the sl,-
preme court and make an argument in
person in support of his position. The
fact that Solicitor-General Maxwell

Gated, however, that Judge Parker
would not he heard, and he was not.
Judge Parker knew that his general
reputation was that of a severe. IN
compromising Judge who hanged men
without regard to the merits of the
case He spoke often about it, and al
WAYS denied the charge of cruelty.
1 never hanged a man. said he
shortly before he was taken i'll, and
l never expect to do so. That the law
has taken the lives of criminals who
nave murdered their fellows 1 do not
deny But that same law would have
protected the man sentenced had he led
a lawful life.r
One OF the favorite remarks of the
judge was that it was not the severity

and brooders-and this fact should
not be overlooked. It is admitted
that in the Spring and Summer
when the hen has everything in her
favor she will be more serviceable
than the brooder, but in the VIM
ter, when cold winds, ice, snow, and
rains prevail, the hen has difficult

and as a rule, the hens are fortu
nate if they raise one-half of the
chicks Matched.
When hen becomes broody
make her nest in warm place, and
when she brings off her brood, have
place prepared for her, under
shelter, and where the sunlight can
come. Be careful that the chicks
are not exposed or become chilled,
and aim to raise every one of them.
In that case the chicks will pay be-

In order to secure a regular salt
ing with a large herd of cattle it is
necessary to have salt continually
before them for use at their leisure.
Many farmers use rock salt, scatter
ing it about over the pasture, but
even with this there is waste in wet
weather, and some danger that cat
tie will lick out large Jumps in such
way as to make a cavity, which
sometimes will fill with water and
become brine, and too much of this
will produce more or less disorder.
Where barrel salt is used there is
muoh waste in wet times for melt
ing. The DenUer Field and Farm
suggests a salt box for cattle where
barrel salt is used that seems to
meet the case, as follows:
''In salt boxes for cattle in pas
ture the writer likes the kind re-
sembling in appearance an ordinary
school desk 1t is entirely home
made, and the stock will soon learn
to lift the lid and help themselves.
In order to teach them how it is
done cut a semi-circular opening in
the top part of the front side, just
below the lid, and fill with salt so
as it can be licked without raising
the lid. They will come and taste
the salt and keep helping them
selves right along, lifting the lid to
get to it. The lid protects the salt
from rains and saves from waste
and from getting packed in hard
lump Fasten the box at the height
that will be convenient for the stock,
making fast to post or tree"
A box of this kind is easily made
and is worth trying.

Whatever is given to sheep should
be given with regularity. Once
used to anything, sheep fret if they
are put off even. This applies to
feeding, and every other part of the
management of a flock.
Don't neglect the salt, says the
Sheep Breeder. This is not only
indispensable to the full digestion
of the food, but it is specific
against the many parasites Of the
sheep, especially the fatal huke and
the throat worms.
Wool will keep in the best con-
dition when stored in a somewhat
damp place. The best place is a
dry sub-cellar half above the
ground, and that may be well aired.
When too dry wool is harsh to feel,
and brittle, and loses its natural
softness and curl.
Have Il few lamb steps about the
pastures, into which the lambs may
squeeze themselves, but the sheep
cannot, and there they should find
little but regular supply of the
most nutritious food. Linseed oil
cake, with a little molasses mixed,
will be especially desirable.
1t is sometimes the case that the
hocks are shorn twice a year,
Where this custom prevails the
stock rams should not be sheared.
1t is a matter of experience that
this shearing interferes with the
ability Of the ram to get lambs, and
there is a notable number of misses
in the ewes.
1t is time, too, to be beginning
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1896-11-28

the feeding. The special ram breed
er must do this at once, separating
the best made lambs, and, as they
are weaned, feed this flock by them
selves, 50 as to give them the best
chance to make the earliest matured
and finest finished sheep. This to
the breeders.
If you try rape as an experiment,
be sure to watch the cabbage worm,
which, if not prevented, will make
a filthy disgusting mass of rubbish
that a starved sheep would smell
of, and then choose to turn away
and die of starvation. But don't
figure on fattening sixteen sheep
on one acre"

Ashes for sandy SOIL.

Almost all sandy soils lack pot
ash. Even when it is present, un-
less there is some vegetable matter
in the soil to furnish carbonic acid
gas, the potash forms a union with
the sand, and thenceforth can only
be released as it is some way made
soluble. The benefit from applica-
tions of potash to sandy soil is di-
rect. They supply the kind of
plant food in which it is deficient.
But the use of potash in the form
of ashes is not restricted to sandy
soils. Most heavy soils have more
or less potash in insoluble form.
AS the caustic potash in the ash
changes it makes the potash and
phosphate in the soil near it soluble
also, and thus potash will some
times oblige the soil to supply the
plants the phosphates they require
to make grain crop. But in such
cases the potash does not take the
place of the mineral. 1t simply
enables the plant to get phosphate
that was in the soil but not In SOL
mile form.

Times change, and people are
shifted from one point of observa-
ton to another, and, later in life,
we are often, because of our past
experience, enabled to see things to
a better advantage than we could
see at the outset.
When we were boy the man
who cultivated only patches
who hoed his crops chiefly, and de-
voted his time to his garden truck,
poultry and the like, was regarded
as zone boss" farmer, and held in
contempt by the man, or at least
by the sons of the man, with the
broad acres, new appliances and
spanking fine teams. But things
have changed The staple crops
have run away down in price.
They don't pay good interest on the
fine fixtures of the big teams and
the broad acres. A new system is
necessary. The 'one-hoss" farmer
must be initiated. The acreage of
cotton, corn and wheat must be cut
down. The home larder must be
looked to first Diversified farming
must be resorted to. The Southern
planter must become the Southern
small farmer. He must grow fruit
and vegetables aud raise his own
meal, his poultry, his eggs, honey
and the like, and not depend on
cotton alone to sustain him. He
must live, as it were, nearer the
house; must think of the crib, the
barn-loft, the cellar and the smoke
house; must stock up for home con-
sumption, and raise small surplus
of each to sell in order to him that
which he cannot raise but must
have.
In this line lies the farmers re-
demption. He can work out his
own salvation if he will pursue this
course. Let him make his wants
as few as possible and his surplus
of each product of the farm limit
ed Then the consumers in the
cities who do not produce will seek
him out, because they must live.
The farmer then becomes the mas
ter Of the situation, and for that
which he produces he is bound, un-
der such conditions, to- get good
prices. -Southern CultiUdtor.

Winter Matching.

Eggs are too valuable in Winter
to be used for Matching purposes
unless one is confident Of securing
good matches and Of raising the
chick, says the Mirror and Farmer.
TO use dozen eggs from which
only six chicks come, and then lose
three of them, means an expendi-
ture of four eggs for one chick, and
no one can afford the cost in that
respect. The heaviest loss of chicks
is with hens not with incubators

FOR THE FARMER.
Notes for Beekeepers.

~ 70 SOVN PAoh w nov wy
hives located among fruit trees.
A choice location fit on a piory
is close to a farm devoted entirely
to raising of seeds.
When feeding is necessary for
rearing of brood it should be done
slowly and regularly.
Always approach hive from the
side or rear, SO as not to obstruct
the flight or anger the bees.
Ii the day is to be lowering and
wet the bees will be sluggish, and
active if the weather is to be fine.
The queen is the mother bee, the
drone the male and the workers are
the neuters who gather the honey
Hives that contain the largest
quantity of honey in the Fall will
be the most populous when honey
is to be gathered in the Spring.
There are few crops that require
the investment Of SO little capital
and the return of so much for so
little outlay and labor as the honey
crop.
Combine Bookkeeping with fruit
growing and you can more easily
secure two crops from the same
land, and this double cropping is
not exhaustive.
Sheds that are enclosed upon all
sides except the south make a good
place in which to winter bees. If,
il addition they are packed with
straw and leaves, all the better.
A good, dry cellar is one of the
best places in which to store bees
during the Winter, but if they are
put in a cellar they must have
department to themselves where
they will not be subjected to dis
turbance of any kind
The greatest profit in raising bees
is secured by well directed method
Of dividing the colonies when in a
proper condition to do SO, and re-
straining that instinct, as far as
may be to swarm when the sur
rounding circumstances are unfa-
vorable to an increase.
If bees are kept in thin, unpro-
tected hives during the Winter, the
moisture arising from them will
condense and freeze to the hive,
thereby encircling the bees with ice.
In warm day this will melt and
run down over them and dilute the
honey, producing disease.
The entrances to the hives should
be contracted during the Winter, as
the bees do not require the full
sized entrance Three inches long
and three-eights of an inch wide is
usually sufficient. Provide them
with good lighting place An
east or south front is always pre-
ferable
If necessary to move bees it
should be done in the Fall before
cold weather sets in, or early in the
Spring, after they begin to fly daily
They should never be moved in the
Winter or molested in any way
when it is possible to avoid, unless
it be on fine day when they are
flying to look after their necessary
wants
To secure the best results in bee
keeping good movable combs should
be used exclusively, keeping rea-
sonable supply of empty ones on
hand in which to put new swarms.
The work Of making them and the
hives and other needful conven-
fences can be done during the Win
ter, 50 that a supply viii beon hand

affairs From the best means of infor-
nation obtainable it appears however
that General Weyler continues to issue
orders for making Americans there I'M
comfortable, while no. real progress, is
made by the-Spanish troops in bringing
the people into subsection. Trouble has
broken out between the whites and the
blacks in the ranks of the insurgents, and
as negroes and mulattoes constitute a
large element of the Cuban army there is
not much chance for the leaders of the
instruction to make any Roadway until
this perpleXing question is disposed Of
At this distance and from Southern way
of looking at things, it would appear that
the white patriots have made a serious
mistake in allowing the colored troops to
figure so prominently in the war. Fight
ing men, however, were probably not very
abundant down there and the white lead
ers were thus compelled to make the best
Of the situatio.:. After all if the Cubans
gain their independence they will do so
through the assistance afforded them by
the American people, and as annexation
to the United States would soon follow
the expulsion of the Spaniards, it does
not much matter who fights the battles,
so the cause of freedom is triumphant;
for Uncle Sam will see to it that order
and stability be enforced when once the
Island comes under her rules Just now
the sickly season prevails and conditions
in Cuba are such that the Spaniards are
too busy looking after the diseased
among their own soldiers to do anything
in the way of fighting. AS the Cubans,
on the other hand, are thoroughly accli-
mated, they ought to make considerable
Roadway against the enemies if the trou-
bles in their own army were adjusted.

CONDITION OF TRADE.

Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Nearly
all merchandise markets continue dull
and the volume of business is smaller
than anticipated. Little or no DISPOSE
ton is shown to engage in new enter
prises, both city and country merchants
continuing TO purchase with more than
usual conservatism in view of the unset
tied financial outlook and the low range
of prices.
Among more favorable features are rel
atively encouraging reports concerning
trade at nine business centers, together
with an improvement in quotations for
wheat, Indian corn, oats, pork, and firm
or eXchanged.pricesf for wool, sugar lum-
Der, leather and print cloths.
Baltimore reports various jobbing lines
doing well, but with q tendency to defer
placing orders until after election. Chi
cago and st. Louis agree that sales for
fall delivery while fair in some directions
will not equal the record for 1895. Rains
have improved crop prospects in Wash
ington.
The week has been marked at San
Francisco by the departure of train load
of fruit for London, a cargo of wheat for
Australia and. two ships loaded with
lumber for Europe. Crop prospects in
Louisiana and in Texas have improved,
particularly with reference to..cotton, and
country merchants are reported as en-
couraged.

TROUBLE FOR FARMERS

Washington, July 17.-American far
mers may be confronted with the danger
OF another troublesome weed somewhat
similar to the noted Russian thistle in its
destructive extent unless immediate stems
are taken to check the further progress
of tumbling mustard. Tumbling mustard
has become very obnoxious as weed in
the Canadian northwest provinces during
the past five years and recently has been
reported from nine different localities in
the United States. It's record in Canada
and the rapidity with which it has already
spread here, has actuated the agricultural
department to issue special warning for
prompt action. So far, the weed has
been confined to a small area in this
country 1t is usually introduced in
baled hay, poorly cleaned seed stock cars
or sweepings from grain cars. 1t is espe-
cially likely to be contained in timothy
seed, large proportion of which is
grown in the Sioux valley of the eastern
part of South Dakota. The weed has not
yet infested this valley but the statement
is made that if it should spread in these
fields for two consecutive years it would
probably ruin the timothy seed industry
of the entire section Various methods
of complete eradication are urged in the
warning.

Much abuse have been showered upon
the English sparrow, and some of it I'M
deservedly. Sometimes the little fellow
makes himself too conspicuous, but lin
stead of devoting all of his attention to
the destruction of grain and other crops
of the field and garden, as is frequently
charged, experience has proven that he is
an inyeterate foe to caterpillars and
many other insects. A Pennsylvania ex-
change praises the bird highly for his at
tacks on the army worm, and as he
makes a very good substitute for rice
birds in the restaurants of many Allan
tic cities, and is otherwise sought as a
delicacy, it does not seem that he is such
an awful pest after all.

OUR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

William j. Bryan is the Democratic
candidate for President of the United
States, fairly and legally nominated In
accordance with party usage and law. by
thoroughly representative convention,
me de up of as earnest and sincere men as
ever gathered in national convention.
We dissent from many things done in
that convention-its silver declaration is
repugnant to our Judgment of what
should be the position of the party, but
in this case, as has happened before, the
candidate is better than the platform.
He is an Independent, upright and pro-
gressive statesman, free from entanple-
ments, pure and honest in private as in
public life. His views on ali subjects but
one commend him to the support of all
Democrats, and on that one we would
rather take the chances with BRYAN than
accept the only alternative-the tickle and
inconsistent Mckinley, who is wrong on
all things, the legislative attorney of
trusts and monopolies, and whose record
in public and business life demonstrates
his entire unfitness for the Presidential
Office.
William j. Bryan is the candidate Of
the Democratic party, as fairly nominated
as was Grover Cleveland in 1884, 1888 and
1892; as Winfield Scott Hancock was
nominated in 1890, or Samuel ]. Tilden
in 1876. He has the same equitable and
just claim as these great leaders had on
