horse team loaded with provision for n
prospecting trip for water TO tho extrcms
northwcrtern part Of tho state. This
company owns 1900 acres Of rich placer
claims, which il water is obtained will be
worth mint OF money.
At tho annual meeting Of the Melon
Growers held last Saturday nearly all OF
the melon shippers were replaced by new
and inexperienced men and very much
dissatisfaction now prevails among the
growers. At time when experienced
men were needed most they are discarded.
They are tho men who can do without
tho association but the association can
not afford to lose them. Something
should be done to restore satisfaction il

tors. MELON GRowER

The case against J. G. Gracey for
alleged burglary in opening a cur of corn
cold w. II. Dye aud larceny OF some
600 pounds of corn from the car, was
tried yesterday in the district court. The
burglary charge was abandoned early in
the trial by the prosecution, the remaiu-
ing count being pressed, aud much to
the surprise of Mr.. Gracey's many
friends, the jury decided the charge s,,s-
tained. We understand that motion
to sot aside tho verdict on the ground
of not being according to tho facts
will come up to-day. 1t is also
reported that the prosecuting attorney
was criticized by the court after the
Jury had retired to consider the case, for
bringing matters into the trial not con.
nected with it, and calculated to prcju-
dice the iury against the defendant. The
jury was composed, with bnt one excep-
tion, OF east eud citizens of tho county,
and while We do not question their sin
cerity or good faith must say that it
looks ns il locality prejudice exerted an
influence.

All recent sprains of the joints and
tendons are generally best treated by
the applica ton of cold water. This is
best applied by means of hose. This
should be used frequently, but not for
more than five minutes at one time. The
horses rug should be put on at such a
time. or he is liable to take cold. If
the horse shows symptoms of much
pain, it may be necessary to fonlent
the part; that is, apply warm water in
stead of cold This will ease the pain,
but will probably increase the swelling,
and the reduction, afterwards, of this
swelling will retard recovery. The in
fiammatory processes at the seat of the
lesion mean increased blood supply to
the part, and consequent effusion into
the surrounding tissues. Thus, with a
sprain, we always get more or less
''thickening," and the getting rid of this
''thickening' is often more troublesome
than relieving the actual pain. This
application Of cold water by constring-
ing the blood vessels has the effect of
lessening the amount of blood which
would otherwise be conveyed to the
part. and so result in less effuSion and
swelling. After applying the cold wa
ter. wooden bandage should be bound
fairly tight round the affected part,
preferably interposing layer of cot
ton wool between limb and bandage.
Should the animal show symptoms of
being in much pain, remove the band

The bandage, however, must not be

To Increase the Milk,

To make a large quantity of rich
milk, the cows must be full fed. Where
the milk, cream or butter can be sold
at good prices it will pay to feed grain.
The following ration can be given to
each COW daily all through the summer:
Seven quarts of bran and one quart of
corn chop. divided into two feeds One
half is fed in the morning and the other
half at night. The bran is made into
a thick slop and seasoned with little
salt. The COWS are at pasture day and
night. When the pasture gets short,
the COWS are given a large rackful at
night of oats and peas or corn fodder.
after they have eaten up their siop. By
this system Of feeding the COWS Will
average twenty-eight to thirty pounds
of milk per day, which is wholesaled at
cents per pound. The bran makes an
abundance of good, wholesome milk,
keeps the COW in condition, and it also
makes a very rich manure. These drop
pings are scattered over the pasture
once each week.

In addition to fresh American meats
and fresh American fruits the people
of London now have the advantage Of
getting American game and poultry
sent over in a frozen state and sold in
In the markets at from to pence per
pound. This industry, which was only
started few months ago, has proved
wonderfully successful, and the birds
are said to be received in fine condi-
ton. So popular has American poultry
proved that a similar industry with
Australian fowl has been greatly af-
fected, the rate in transit from this
country being so much less. The Lon
dOners are said to he very fond of a
certain class of American game, which
they are now enjoying at home for the
first time. Some of our American fish,
now unknown to English palates,
might be exported profitably in a sim
liar manner.

The fate of julius Whitehead, of
Grassy Plains, n. j., ought to be a
warning to all would-be scOffers.
Julius is now confirmed sneeZer, and
all because he sought to disconcert an
itinerant evangelist. The good man
was reaping rich harvest in Grassy
Plains, and was snatching some pretty
tough brands from the burning, but
failed to stir the heart of Whitehead
except to mockery. With the diabol,
ical purpose Of breaking up one of the
meetings Julius broke out in a simu-
lated attack of sneeZing, and he is
sneezing yet. The plot conceived in
iniquity was not able to be brought to
a climax, and when Julius had seen the
complete success of his nefarious pro-
ject he discovered that he was in for
a continuous performance. The evan
gelist has left Grassy Plains, but if he
will return and bring sneeze cure
with him he can add Julius Whitehead
to his list Of penitentS.

of the sidewalks. They have even gone
so far as to order baby carriages off the

must take their chance with other car

of this extraordinary action is vouch-

P;res Eleven Shots a Second

The English government is now ex-
Dermenting with a gun which will fire
l 600 shots in 1913 seconds. 1t is the
dcadiiest of all tie automatic man
slayers ever yet invented. AS with all
machine guns, the first shot must be
fired by hand. After that the weapon
will absorb cartridges and emit chain
of bullets as long as it is fed. Ex-
periments made thus far show that ON
the occasion Of a brief. sharp attack
the Gun can actually be made to fire
eleven shots in n single second. A
very Interesting feature of this new
gun is that the explosive power results
from the use OF cordite. The whole of
this substance is expended in pressure
whereas black powder is only useful
for pressure to the extent of so pei
cent. The experiments with cordite
and with the gun referred to show
conclusiyely that cordite is not affected
by water, as is gunpowder, and will
stand great variation in temperature

No reason however clear. no thought
however deep. no Judgment however
sound, can compensate for the absence
of a warm heart and sympathetic feel
ings. 1t is sometimes argued by un-
sympathetic people that such emotions
are only i'll the way when calmness and
firmness are called for; that they weak
en the will. blind the Judgment, and
shake the nerves SO as seriously to in
terfere with the actual performance of
the right thing in the right way. They
cite as examples those who are COM
pletely governed by their feelings, who
are carried away by excitement, who
are deficient in the powers of reason
and foresight. But this is certainly no
fair test. 1t is only when both are
combined in harmonious proportions
that the true value of either can be
realized

Sugar, like the garden variety Of,
beets require a deep, finely pulverized
soil. and dressed in the drill rows with
twelve two-horse carloads of rich,
well-rotted manure, made from grain
fed cattle After the seed is sOwn
and the plants are up, the after-cul-
ture consists in keeping the ground
mellow between the rows, and the best
plants are free from weeds. The har-
rowtooth cultivator, with the fat steel
weed cutter attached to the rear, is the
best implement to work the crop with
when the plants are small. 1t fines and
mellows the soil and cuts up the young
weeds in the one passage. After the
plants grow larger use the horse culti-
vatOr, with the narrow teeth first and
afterwards the larger ones. Amateurs
in beet culture should visit some large
trucker and see how the work is done
One visit, with a careful inspection of
the crops grown, will be worth to any
obServant farmer at least fifty dollars
in experience. The beets, after they
have reached the fourth leaf and the
bulbs are about the size of your thumb,
should be thinned out when the soil is
moist. Sugar beets should be thinned
out to stand six inches apart In the
row, and stock beets thinned to eight
inches. In thinning OF hoeing the
plants, the roots must not be cut, as it
will cause them to rot.
The truckers, in growing the early
market beets, use large quantities Of
liquid manure, running it in between
the rows after the ground has been
deeply cultivated In few days the
rows are again run through with the
cultivator. Under this double system
Of manuring the beets grow very rap
idly, and are soon ready for market.
In growing beets for feeding to stock,
the ground must not be allowed to
crust over, or the plants will be cover
ed up with weeds. Beets can be grown
and put into the cellar for four cents
per bushel From six hundred to eight
hundred bushels can be grown to the
acre under careful culture.-Baltimore

Curing Weedy Hay.

Daisies and weeds of like nature
make a very good hay for dry cattle
and young stock If they are cut in
flower. Cut them after the dew is Off
in the morning, and let them dry out
for a day. Rake them up the follow
ing day, and stack them with alternate
layers of straw or old hay. Each load
should be salted at the rate of one peck
of salt to the load. Make the stack to
hold six or eight tons, or twelve two
horse wagon loads Of it as gathered.
The stack should be run up three
fourths of the way, and then left over
night to settle After the stack settles
top off with long hay, rake down hard,
and then run two wires over the top
and tie down securely. A stack Of this
fresh hay Will smoke for several morn
ings after it is put up, but if the hay
has been we'll salted and several layers
of dry hay put in between the green
hay, there Will be no danger Of COM
buStion.
