The next morning the animal was missing, and it was later found in the possession of Moore and Wyatt in Fresno, where they were training dogs for use in Alaska. They refused to surrender the St. Bernard, claiming they had bought it. Mcdonald told the men he would get the dog, d them, too.
 The dog was found among a lot of twenty-eight which belonged to the Garrison party. Many other valuable canines are missing, and a search is being made for them among the differ ent dog training places, of which there are several.

though on the Verge of Knockout the Decision Is Not Against
 Him.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. H.-The twentyround contest between Billy Elmer of San Francisco and Dick Case of Seattle at the Olympic Club tonight was stopped in the second round by the police. Under the articles of agree ment the fight was to be draw should the police interfered before twenty rounds had been fought. Referee Jack Lafferty therefore declared the fight a draw.
 Although the. fight was declared a draw, Case had Erner practically knocked out before tRc police stepped into the ring. Case forced the fighting and in the first round knocked Elmer down twice with left-hand swings on the jaw.
 In the second round Case put Elmer through the ropes twice, and three times sent him sprawling on the floor. Case could easily have finished his man in that round had the police not inter fered.

Special Dispatch to The Call
 FRESNO, Jan. 21.-Fresno is at present flooded with very crude counterfeit nickel It is believed that the counter feiters have their plant a few miles from this city, where they turn out by the hundred bogus 5-cent pieces The spuri- ous coin is evidently made for the pur- pose of defrauding the nickel-in-the-slot machines which are to be found in nearly every saloon and cigar stand in the city. The nickels are too crudely made to be passed successfully, although some of them might be taken without notice if the receiver happened to be in a hurry. As those who have them use them al most exclusively in playing these ma chimes, it is very difficult to catch those who pass the, cheating nickels on the devices. Nearly every night when the earnings of the machines are counted up some of the counterfeit pieces are found in the receptacle.
 The local officers are working on the case, and they have a strong suspicion as to where the counterfeiting is done. Secret Service Agent Harris was in town several days ago, and it is believed that his mission was to assist the local off, cers in ferreting out the counterfeiting gang

 Diego.
Many Improvements Protected in This Important University
 Branch.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PALO ALTO, Jan. 21.-The an nouncement was made by President Jordan this evening that Edward How ara Gr1ggs, professor of ethics, had been selected as head of the depart ment of education, and that Edward |. Cubberley, superintendent of the San Diego schools, had accepted the posi- ton of assistant professor in this inn portant department. The move is a consequential one, for it means a great change in the department of education. Professor Griggs will devote himself to the history of education and civiliZa- ton. He will also carry on his work In ethics. The course that Professor Cubberley will give have not yet been decided on.
 Since Professor Barnes got his leave Of absence, which was followed by his resignation, there has been no perma- nent head to this department, Dr. Starbuck having filled the place tenn porarily.
 Professor Griggs. the new head of the department of education, was gradu- ated from Indiana University in 1889, and received his master degree the next year. He was attached to the faculty of Indiana University for four years, after which he spent two years in study in the University of Berlin. In 1895 he was called to the chair of ethics in Stanford University. He is well known throughout the State for his great ability as a lecturer, and was designated "The Ideal Man" by Rev. Anna Shaw.
 Professor Edward P Cubberley, the newly appointed assistant professor of education, is a man of great practical experience. He graduated in 1888 from the University of Indiana, where he was pupil of Dr. Jordan. Before taking the superintendency of the San Diego schools he filled a chair in the Vincennes University.

According to chemical analysis, alfalfa
contains more protein than either the red
or alsike clover, and as the prOteins con-
stitute the most valuable element in feed
stufrs, 1t is clear that alfalfa Is to be pre-
ferred from this standpoint. Chemical
analysis not only demonstrates the SUI
periority of alfalfa hay and forage, but
actual tests also confirm 1t. In our al
falfa pasture lot quite a number or
red and alslke clover were growing the
past season. The hogs grazed the alfalfa
off near the ground all around these
punches, and they were allowed to grow
unmoested during the entire growing
season. The hogs showed a great pref
erence for the alfalfa over the cloVers.
To harvest three crops of alfalfa per
season is no uncommon thing. This is
not the case with the clovers. Alfalfa
stacks shed rain better, also but 1t Is
probably better that either should be
we'll covered with something calculated
to shed rain. Alfalfa roots deeper than
most other legumnous plants, and there
fore is better drought resister. Its sue
cessful production depends largely on
the condition of the subsoil. It's root
growth is not so extensive near the sur
face as the so-called clovers, but never
theless it probably equals--if it does not
surpass-other clover as "a nitrogen
gatherer.
It furnishes a considerable amount Of
early and late pasturage, and four BUSH
els of seed per acre Is probably an aver
age yield. In this it is also superior, but
the seeds are somewhat larger. Hogs do
well when allowed to run to the stacks
Of alfalfa, with little grain additional,
and consider it good to keep brood sows
in good condition, as it improves their
digestion and thus promotes their gen
eral healthfulness.
If were living further east than do
at present and made farming my bust
ness, would attempt to raise alfalfa if
possible, for the reason that it furnishes
more pasture and forage Of a higher
grade than any other leguminous plant
known to agriculture, besides improving
the fertility Of the soil.-Albert Rogers,

When to Spray.

AS all fruit growers now recognize the
Importance of spraying, the following in
formation covering the proper season
for the work, the diseases Of the more
important fruits, and the proper insecti-
eide to use, will be found worthy of
study and preservation. The disease
mainly attacking the raspberry and
blackberry Is the leaf blight, which is
best overcome by spraying with Bor-
deaux mixture applied first just before
the buds break, making second appli-
cation when the fruit has set and addi-
tional applications, IL necessary, every
two or three weeks for three months.
The grower of strawberries has to con-
tend mainly with rust. Spraying with
Bordeaux mixture Is also the remedy in
this case, the first application being in
early spring as soon as growth begins,
the next after the fruit blossoms have
fallen and giving other applications dur
ing the season whenever the foliage
shows signs Of rust.
The diseases Of the plum are brown
rot, curculio, black knot and leaf blight,
and again the Bordeaux mixture Is a
valuable remedy for all but black knot,
which when found on either plum or
cherry trees should be cut and burned,
as the only safe remedy. For the other
diseases apply Bordeaux mixture when
the buds are swelling, and when the
blossoms have fallen use Bordeaux mix
ture and Paris green and jar the trees 10

Corn Stalks.

Millions Of tons of cornstalks are
wasted in the United States annually.
The corn ears are plucked off and stock
turned into the field to consume such
portions Of the stalks as they may. They
select only the few remaining husks and
blades; and these do not amount to more
than one-tenth Of the feeding value Of
the entire stalk. AS half of the nutri-
ment of the corn plant is in the stalk,
in gathering only the corn ears fully 40
per cent. of the intrinsic value Of the
corn crop, which has cost so much to
grow, is worse than wasted, because the
stalks are in the way and bother exceed
ingly at the next cultivation. This con-
dition prevails mostly in the great corn
belt, where this grain as staple crop.
In the East, as rule, the corn plant is
better utilized. Corn is cut at the surface
of the ground and shocked. This pro-
tects the stalks largely from damage by
the weather. Few feed them whole now.
They have learned the wastage and in
conVeniences of the system. AT least
they will run them through-a cutter.
More thoughtful farmers enslle their
cornstalks. BY this method all their nu-
triment possible is preserved and uti-
lized.. Many make their dry cornstalks
more eatable by passing them through
an ordinary threshing machine. This
gave mechanics the idea of constructing
stalk shredders. While most of them
succeed we'll in grating or "chawing up"
the commodity so fine that stock can
consume 1t readily; still different ma
chine was called for-one that would
shred, in fact as we'll as in name, and
leave the commodity in long, fine shreds,
like timothy hay, that ii might be baled
readily and thus be in compact form
for handling and shipping, the para
mount object being to send such ma
chimes into the big corn fields of the
West, and prepare the waste product of
cornstalks for fodder there, or for ship
menr East, where there Is a cash mar
ket for it. To do the work correctly, it
was found that the shredder-head re-
Quired very long teeth, set on the shaft
angling, and the shaft must make 1900
revolutions q minute. Probably ere
many years pass by the great bulk Of the
corn stalks Of the West, which now go
to waste, viii be utilized through these
means. Meantime, in the middle States,
when grain threshers get through with
that work in the late fall, some of them
go their rounds over again with a shred
der and shred cornstalks for home use,
or shred and bale for shipment. This
Is in line with true economy-saving and
utilizing waste, by making valuable fod-
der Of it.-Practical Farmer.
