Agriculture.

The United States pays out an
nually more than one hundred mil
lions of dollars for sugar, and yet is
capable of producing tall that is
needed. This country certainly has
a far wider field suited to the rails
ing of beets, and it will be her own
fault if European countries longer
outstrip her.
A farmers prosperity can be
pretty accurately told by the man
ner of caring for the tools with
which he works; and, again, how
many needless fences he might re-
move altogether. The growing
scarcity of timber certainly leads to
closer consideration of the fence
question.
Did you prepare the summers
stove wood in January or February?
Then do it now by all means. Is all
the machinery in order? There
should not be an hours delav when
spring work opens. So many things
can be done now which must be
done sooner or later.
One good way to do is to manure
heavily clover sod, and when the
clover comes through it a few week S
later-about the lst of June-plOw it
down, broadcast about 1000 pounds
of phosphate to the acre, pulverize
well and plant in potatoes. A salts
factory crop is almost certain.
Road making consists of as many
problems as there are different
materials of which they can be built
1t is a profession. 1t should be
taught in the colleges and furnish
lucrative positions to those who
have successfully mastered its diff
ficulties. Thousands are spent
every year in attempts to build
roads by those who do not know
how.
In the future progressive farmers
will have their fertilizers made tC
order, and progressive dealers will
be ready to fill those orders. The
farmer must know even the vary
ing wants of every field, and the
task will not be a difficult one. BY
constant testing he will know just
in what elements his land is poor.
A change is readily noticed when
one visits q locality where one OF
more Institutes have been held
They set the peaple to thinking
The contented man is not the
one who makes progress. When
one doubts the wisdom of prevailing
methods, he finds better ones. 1t is
the doubter who makes intellectual
growth.
The farmer should know far better
than the agent what his farm need;
in the way of plant food, however

The farmer must know for himself

no one else can learn for him.

The fine locking young man who was
shown into The p,rIor was a new one to
the old gentleman, who had lived i'll a
state of anxiety for years lest scme one
would marry his charming daughter for
her money. All young men were under
suspicion with him, and he was partic-
ularly formal with those of fine appear
ance The caller intended to observe the
proprieties by introducing himself, but
the host said in his stiffest business
tones:
"What can do for you, sir?'

half his time telling young whipper-

my fortune to some charitable institu-

Stock.

BY giving young animals heavy
food in such quantities as to surfeit
them the digestive powers are often
permanently injured. Therefore,
never overfeed them, and give such
food as is easily digested. This is
the only warranted procedure.
The business of stock feeding has
never yet been overdone. Home
production of food and the feeding
of it to good stock is remunerative
branch of agriculture, and one who
follows it steadily and intellfgently
rarely has reason to complain that
his calling does not pay.
One advantage in stock farming is
that incidental expenses for labor,
implements, etc, are less than
where diversified crops are grown,
harvested and sold. Much of the
harvesting is done by the animals,
and they also carry the crops to
market.
If the United States had more cat
tie Of the proper class more would
be exported, and the entire market
would respond to their relief with a
higher level of prices. Not 10 per
cent. of that taken at our city mar
kets is of the quality demanded for
export.
1t is easier to keep away disease
than to drive it away after it has
once got among our cattle, and
cleanliness is one of the best means
for accomplishing this. Keep the
stables clean and use whitewash
literally as disinfectant.
So far as the results of analysis
are known, white corn has about ]
per cent. more of the music forming
elements that yellow corn. 1t is
considered as coming nearer to oats
than the yellow, and is, therefore,
better for working animals.
The fat hog and the mich cow are
the two great factors for converting
our grain, grass and root crops into
a condensed merchantable product
1t is a happy coincidence that while
our stock depends upon such com
bination of food stuffs the lands are
kept in better state of fertility by
having produced this variety in ro-
tatiOn.
Many farmers get what stock is
easiest to get, and keep what they
have because they have it, neither
being a good reason. If merchant
makes mistake he gets rid of his
Improbable wares, for he can not
stand the loss both on them and
what he might have sold in then
place. On the farm there is room
and feed for only a certain amount
of stock.
1t will not pay to buy old animals
to feed up, even if there is room tC
lay flesh on their bones, as it will
require too much food and too much
time to get them started. The
greatest gain at least cost will fol
low the buying of thrifty young
stock.
When stock can not prove its
ability to pay for its food get rid Of
it in some way before the holidays
Those who are still feeding find il
expensive work at this season. 1t /:
folly to feed good corn or hay into
dry cows or old cattle of any kind.
Some men are slow to find 1t out
but when they once get hold o.
thoroughbred blood, they, like the
bulldog, never let go but to get !
better hold. What a stride there
will be in this direction during the
next generation.
Usually it is best to mate a young
boar which is being used for service

AN OLD CASE.
ESTEVAN SAND0VAL ON TRIAL
FOR MURDER.
The Josh Roberts Murder Case Finished
Last Night and Given To The Jury
No Verdict Yet Rendered.

The Josh Roberts murder trial OCcu-
pied all night in the Thirty-seventh
District court. The argument was
closed at 1915 a. m. and the officers of
the court did not get home until one
o'clock this morning. Up to noon to-
day the jury had not been able to
agree. The courtroom is crowded with
coloTed people anxious to hear the ver-
dict.
The case of Estevan Sandoval, charg-
ed with murder, was called for trial
this morning. A venire of ninety men
was exhausted in selecting a jury, and
of this number only five proved salts
factory. They are G. B. Frank, Jas.
Lasteree, r. d. James, Texas Dimmitt,
and Charles Goodloe. Another ven
ire of fifty men was ordered, returna-
BILE at o'clock this, afternoon, from
which the remaining seven jurors are
to be chosen. Sandoval is at present
a bailiff to the grand jury under Sher-
iff Campbell, and the crime on which
he is held was committed just nine
yaers ago today. 1t was in the after
noon about o'clock of April Is, 1888,
while Sandoval was a deputy under
then Sheriff Lewis that he shot and
killed Alfredo Valdez in the latter's
barber shop on Dolorosa street. San
doval had a warrant for Valdez and
it is claimed that the latter went for
him with a razor and that Sandoval
shot him in self defense. He has been
out on bond ever since in the sum of
$4,000 with Dan Lewis as surety. The
indictment upon which he is being
tried is made in the old form and in
the handwriting of the late George
