BALDWIN ON THE STAND.
He Denies Nearly All of Miss
Lillian A. Ashley's
Charges.
Saws He Did Not Promise to Adopt
Her or Give Her Any of His
RacehorseS.

f. J. Baldwin was on the stand nearly
all day yesterday in Judge Slack's court,
but nothing new was developed from his
testimony. He was on direct examination
and the questions asked were propopnded
by his own attorneys, consequently he had
an easy time. Miss Ashley's counselors,
however, promise to put him on the rack
to-day in cross-examination.
Mr.. Baldwin's testimony was general
and specific denial of each and all OF Miss
Ashley's charges, excepting that he
acknowledged having been intimate with
her at the Baldwin Hotel and at the Hotel
Coronado. He also admitted having given
her money several times.
The whole period during which the prin-
cipals in the suit were acquainted was

however, reports that there is no property be-

HOW MUCH HAY TO FEED.

Farm horses, almost without excep-
ton, are fed too much hay. One ex-
ception may be noted: A horse of ner-
vous disposition, inclined to scour.
should have all the hay he can be in
duced to eat in addition to the grain
ration. The horse of this character will
not usually eat more than ten to twelve
pounds of hay daily. Again, you find
some horses that you are almost COM
pelied to muzzle to keep them from
Stuffing the bedding.
1t is difficult, on account of the differ
ent uses TO which horses are put. to tell
what amount should be given them.
Opinion is divided on the subject. One
stockman says that four tons of hay
will be enough for 1,O00-pound horse
a year. Another says that a horse
should have from eighteen to twenty
pounds day. The stage driver insists
that twenty pounds a day is none too
much. We believe that each horse
should be considered by himself, and
fed accordingly.
1t is better to give not more than one
half of the amount in hay, where twen-
ty-five pounds of feed day is allowed,
the larger amount always to be given
at night.
The grain ration should be adapted to
the individual horse and the work he
is required to do.-The Silver Knight.

herd, whose success turns upon his

1t has been found that late dipping
in the fall has such an excellent effect
upon the skin that the growth of the
fleece is more than sufficient to pay all
the cost of it. not TO mention the com
fort to the flock Of clean skin free
from the tormenting ticks and the
surety against scab.
If eighty or ninety pound lambs are
the favortes of the present somewhat
fastidious market, 1t may he well TO

PROFIT FROM THE INCUBATOR.

In the twenty-one days that it takes
to turn a perfectly fresh fertile egg in
to a chick there is more profit in pro-
portion to the capital invested than in
any other farm operation. So the old
lady was not far out of the way when
she said che would not sell eggs under
twelve cents a dozen, or a cent each.
because it didn't pay for the hens
time. If an egg is worth one cent, a
lively young chick, newly hatched, is
worth at least six cents, if not ten.
Six hundred TO 1000 per cent. profit in
twenty-one days time is not to be
sneezed at. There is another side to
this, of course, when sickness or
something else thins off the young
chicks, and their dead little bodies are
not worth even the cent that the egg
cost from which they were Matched. 1t
is by looking on all sides that conser-
vative farmers usually called rather
slow are saved from enthusiasms in
the egg and poultry business that have
deceived and disappointed many who
have gone in without experience, and
have come out with more experience
than they wanted.

ROLLING LAND AFTER WHEAT
SOWING.

This operation is hardly ever desira-
BILE; it may be before the sowing, to
break down the clods, but good har-
rowing should be given Immediately
after. Then the seed should be drilled
in or sOwn; in the latter case the seed
should be well narrowed in. 1t is best
to leave whatever small clods may be
on the ground, as these attract mOis-
ture, and so help the seed to sprout
if the weather is dry after the seeding
Later, these clods, if only small, will
be a protection to the young plants.
The effect of rolling land every time
and under every condition is to cause
the soil to lose its moisture and not to
retain it. The more the surface is
loose and open, the less it dries out;
the harder and more crusted it is, the
more moisture it loses by evaporation.

and feeding for their maintenance.
But a few days ago. in visiting the
farm of friend, who is a great lover
of fruits and flowers, have found that
his apple orchard. which has been
planted in sod for many years, had last
spring a small strip of land plowed
and thoroughly manured all around
the outside of the orchard and been
planted to flowers and various small
fruits.
Through the summer they have had
the liberal culture necessary for their
best development, and while from ap-
pearances these well repay all the Ia
Dor put upon them the difference in the
foliage of the apple trees and the ap-
pearance of the fruit on these outside
rows is such as to warrant the belief
that the increased value Of the orchard
will many times repay the culture,
which was never intended for the ap-
pies at all. 1t looks TO ME that If the
whole orchard was put under the same
treatment, it would be decided bene-
fit. do not know the exact age of the
trees, but judge it to be an orchard of
upwards of forty years growth, and
even though it has been in sod for a
good many years past and had better
treatment than the average orchard,
and been profitable in its returns, l am
sure it can be made more valuable in
the future by judicious plowlng and
cultivation.-Hartford Courant.

FEEDING WHEAT.

ID. Z. Salmon, ID. V. NJ. Chief of the
Bureau Of Animal Industry, Depart
ment Of Agriculture, recently said in
regard TO the relative value of wheat
and corn for feeding purposes:
when wheat and corn are the same
price per bushel, it is preferable TO feed
wheat and sell corn: First, because
wheat weighs Z per cent. heavier per
bushel than corn; secondly, because
wheat is weight for weight, an equally
good grain for fattening animals, and
better for growing animals; and, third
ly, because there is much less value in
fertilizing elements removed from the
farm in corn than in wheat.
There are certain points TO be borne
IN mind when one is commencing TO
feed wheat. Our domesticated animals
are all very fond of it. but are not ac-
customed TO eating il. Precautions
should consequently be observed to
prevent accidents and disease from its
use. 1t is matter of common obser-
vation that when fulfilled horses are
changed from old to new oats they are
liable to attacks Of indigestion. collie
and founder. II such results follow
the change from old TO new oats. how
much more likely are they to follow a
radical change, such as that from oats
to wheat? For this reason wheat
should at first be fed in small quanti-
ties. 1t should, when possible, be
mixed with some other grain. and care
Should be taken to prevent any one
anI.lal from getting more than the
quantity intended for it,
At a meeting of the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture, Mr.. ]. w. Kirby
said:
The wheat that is being fed to farm
animals is mostly soaked. | have fed
large quantities and it appears health
full and nOurfshing. Hogs fatten on 1T
about one-third better than on corn,
making about sixteen pounds of live
pork per bushel. Vixen n mixture is
needed for fattening hogs, oats are
found excellent. Wheat mixed with an
equal measure of oats is fed to work
horses, and this ration maintains
strength and flesh about the same as
corn or oats. For feeding horses.
wheat is worth about thirty three per
cent. more than corn. Wheat is sell
ing here at thirty y-eight and corn at
thirty-five cents per bushel. 1t would
pay better to feed the wheat than to
sell at forty cents and buy corn at
thirty cents per bushel, burt to sell
wheat and buy bran or shorts at cur
rent prices, would be doubtful profit
for the feeder. l feed brood sows and
sucking pigs on soaked wheat, giving
them all they will eat, and keep plenty
of water in the feed trough to prevent
the feed from becoming dry. Older
hogs, with plenty of green feed or run
ming in pasture, are fed dry wheat,
which they seem to masticate and di-
gest better than when soaked.-Farm

PINE CASES BAD FOR EGGS.

The trouble with pine for egg cases is
that it is very liable to impart a bad
flavor and smell to the eggs. This occurs
in the presence of moisture. When eggs
come out of cold refrigerator car into
warm atmosphere they become damp,
often wet, from condensation; so does
the case itself. This causes the pine to
emit strong, pungent odor which
taints the eggs. The same effect is
noticed in damp and muggy weather.
We have observed a number of in
stances lately where eggs in pine cases
have been returned from buyers on the
ground that they were '' tasty" though
apparently fresh and sound. Investi-
CATION has shown that the trouble was
due entirely to the absorption of the
pungent pine aroma from the wood.
For holding in ice house the pine case
is absolutely tabOoed; and even for Or
binary use i'm marketing stock for cur
rent demands, it Is a detriment Under
any but the most favorable conditions.
1t is best to pack stock in such way
as to give it the benefit Of every outlet,
and SO as to avoid all accidents.
The white wood case is far the best
case made and should be universally
adopted, at least for packing stock of
first quality. A white wood case with
medium filters and No. / filler as top
and bottom layer, is free from objec-
ton, and if properly packed should pre-
vent many of the losses which often
harass the less careful packer.-New
York Produce Review.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES

Special care should be given the
young fowls to keep them growing, so
as TO get them in good shape for the
winter.
If fowls do not moult well look for
lice. Put a little flour of sulphur in
their food and little iron in the drink
ing water.
For good results in egg production,
the hen house during the winter should
not be allowed to become colder than
40 degrees.
The natural heat of the sheep is about
100 degrees. Any dip that may be used
should never be more than 20 degrees
above this temperature.
In preparing lambs for show it is es-
sential to have many kinds of green
fodder. Rape, green clover, cabbages,
roots or green fodder are excellent.
Breeders report an unusually good
demand for rams, especially of the
mutton breeds, from the West. The
work of improving the mutton quality
Of range fiocks is apparently going on
rapidly.
The yards and houses should be made
ready this month for winter. This
work should not be put off; cold
weather will come and catch some
