DURRANT'S DANGER
Confined to Diseases Incident to Old
Age

SAN FRANCISCO, July Sin view of
the fact that the attorney general has
gone to Los Angeles to participate in the
celebration of the Fourth at that place,
and that Governor Budd is touring the
state with William Jennings Bryan,
while Warden Hale rss gone to the
mountains for two weeks vacation, it
is considered as highly improbable that
any steps will be taken by the state Of
ficials to carry out the execution of
Theodore Durrsnt on July 9th, and there
is every reason for the belief expressed
by the condemned mans attorneys that
his life is in no danger during the pend
ercy of his appeal to the supreme court
of the United States.

OfImterent to Farmers.

If young Strawberries can be cul-
tivated with hand wheel hoe they
will entail bnt little labor compared
with using the old time hoe. The
wheel hoe will work on any soil
that has previously been well pre-
pared for the plants.
Land plaster is cheap and is
special fertilizer for young clover.
One hundred pounds per acre will
show excellent results, though it can
be used more freely if preferred. 1t
is excellent on the floors of the
stalls and in the manure heap.
1t will pay to use supports for all
vines or plants requiring such.
Peas, Lima beans, tomatoes, grapes
and even cucumbers will give bet
ter results when supported by
stakes, wire or twine. Tomatoes
may be prevented from rotting when
kept clear of the ground.
Those who raise choice pork kill
the pigs that are farrowed III the
Fall when they are about nine
months old, selling to butchers, ow-
ing to warm weather The Spring
pigs are sold in the Fall to avoid
Wintering them. Those who prac-
tice this method claim that it pays
better than to keep them longer.
The tomato Is one Of the most
valuable articles that can be grown,
not only because tomatoes can be
marketed and large yields secured,
but also because a small plot will
provide a full supply for a family
during the season and for canning.
AS tomatoes can be used in many
ways, and at all feasons of the year,
they indispensable to some families
There are many vegetable that
can now be planted, and which
should be done without delay,
among them being English pole
beans, Brussel sprouts, carrots, pars-
nips, squash, okra, tomato plants,
cabbage plants and early turnips.
1t is a variety of vegetable that
makes the garden valuable. 1t is
impossible to procure them in as
fresh and good condition as they
cal be grown.
1t costs inst as much in labor,
blowing, cultivating and fertilizer
to produce poor article as good
one, hence the variety of fruit or
vegeta BILE must not be overlooked
Animals an plants are adapted to
certain conditions and for particu-
lar purposes, and should be used in
their proper places. There is a
heavy loss to farmer in disregard
ing these facts.

Garden and Orchard.


Rotten chips manure is a good
top dressing for radishes.
With raspberries, cut off the suck
ers and keep down the weeds.
busting with white hellebore is a
good remedy for currant worms.
In planting for home use, select
only we'll known standard varieties.
When moss is seen on fruit trees
it is good evidence of a lack of thrift.
Air-slaked lime busted on rose
bushes when the dew is on will kill
inject pests.
SO much fruit that the limbs are
liable to break down should not be
left on the trees.
Satisfy and parsnips are two root
crops that can be left in the ground
until they are wanted to use.
Coal ashes can be used to good
advantage in mulching the currants
they will keep down the weeds.
Fresh cow manure diluted with
water TO the consistency Of cream is
good remedy for squash bugs.
A stout stake set by slender tree
and the tree tied to it will help ma
terially to secure u straight growth.
1t is best in cutting off limb to
cut close, leaving a. short stub as
possible and then paint the wound
over.
Pear blight, ounce blight and
apple twig blight are best cured by
cutting all affected limbs and burn
ing them.
II desirable to use liquid manure,
the better plan is to apply it weak
and frequently. Do not put it on
the foliage.
A better quality of fruit that can
be sold at a higher price, can be
secured by thinning the fruit in
good season.
II necessary to water at all, water
thoroughly two or three times a
week rather than to give a sprink-
ling every night.
The greater portion OF the roots
of the grapevine grow near the sur

Set thin pasteboard or strips OF
tin bent round over the early-set
cabbage and tomato plants to pro-
tect them from cut worms.
A liberal application Of wood ash
es on the surface thoroughly stirred
into the surface With rake, is
good remedy for cut worms.
Protecting the birds is one cheap
way Of fighting the insect pests in

to kill the birds or rob the nests.

ed fever and died. Before leaving for
Africa Glave told Mr.. Arkell that he had
staked out claims in. the Clondyke dis
trict and that on his return he intended
20 go again to Alaska and spend the re-
mainder of his life there, as he believed
it to be the richest country in mineral
deposits on the face of the globe. Mr.
Arkell said tonight that as he started
and sustained this expedition. he be-
lieved he.has acclaim BY right.of discpv-
cry to the Clondyke territory, and If he
succeeds in establishing this claim, it
will be on the theory that sin undiscov-
cred countries where maps are filed with
the government by the discoverer, as was
done in this case, it gives the explorer
certain interests that might develop"
Mr.. Arkell said he had received tele-
grams from Schanz and Wells, two men,
bers of the first expedition to Alaska,
claiming their interest in the event the
government should recognize their right
by discovery.
Mr.. Arkell proposes to organize an ex-
petition at once to the territory discov-

This expedition will be headed by Mr.
Arkelrs brother, Bartlett Arhell, who
will be accompanied by his brother-in-
