fuls of corn stalks. He found that some of these stalks contained 9 per cent of the salt eight ounces of which is fatal dose for grown animal. The development of nitrate of potash ID corn stalks in Kansas was observed to be the result of dry period of. weather which checked the growth of the plants. In India it has been observed that affected sorghum proves non-poi- sonous after a heavy rain. The cases of sudden death of cattle at Lewiston, Idaho, and a number of other places in eastern Oregon and eastern Wash ington after eating Kafir corn were undoubtedly due to nitrate of potash poisoning"
 It may be inferred from the above that there would be no danger in feed ing the stalk if cut before the growth is checked, and it may also be inferred that the danger is in the stalk only, though this is not clear.-Texas Stock and Farm Journal.

 Along the Cerbat range the mines are turning out an abundance of ore. The Tennessee mine especially has in south drift a chute of nearly solid ore five feet thick with no wells. They also have an increase of ore in their upper level to the north. They have let a ffty-foot contract on the lower level to the north of the main shaft
 Judge Blakely left for Kinsman, O., the headquarters of the Kinsman Mining company, and will endeavor to have the company erect mill on it's Belle McFlory gold mine near Cedar. The opinion of mining men who have visited the property is that it is valuable mine, and with works to treat the ore would make handsome returns to the owners-Mineral Wealth.

HARVESTING AND CURING BROOM
 CORN.

The chief difficulty in broom corn culture is to determine just when to harvest the crop. Some cut the heads when in blossom, others harvest so as 10 develop better seed. The time gen. orally preferred is just after the fall of the so-called blossom When the saving of more matured seed is con- ;idered. the heads may be bent down by bending sharply twelve or eighteen inches below the base of the heads Thus the seeds will be hanging down and tends to keep the brush straight. If. this is practiced at all, it must be done after the head has obtained it's maximum growth, but before the seeds acquire full weight
 The common custom in harvesting tall varieties is to bend the stalks of two rows diagona1ly toward each other so that the bent parts support each other in nearly horizontal position The stalks of one row cross those of the other in nearly a horizontal posi-

NO SPANISH SHIPS
 IN FRISCO BAY
Sioniffcant Inquiry of Collector Jackson by Secretary

N.,. o, That Brand of Vessels Have Been Seen Hero for Many
 Years

The United States Government does not nronose to let any Spanish vessels slip in or out of the harbor of San Franclsco without being captured. and yester- day took the precautionary measures toward that end by telegraphing the fol- lowing to Collector of the Port Jackson;
 Collector of Customs. San Francisco, Cal. :: The President has proclaimed blockade or ports on north coast of Cuba, from Cardenas to Bahia Honda also of Cienfuegos on south coast Issue written notices as instructed on 90th inst Wire department immediately names of spanish vessels If any, in your district
 L. J. GAGE, Secretary of the Treasury.
 The instructions of 20th instant" have not yet been received, they being prop ably on the way by mail.
 There is no Spanish vessel In port at the present time, and there has not been one for years. Four or five years ago a Spanish ship came in here for a cargo of wheat Prior to that time the Mar 01,is de Campos' line of steamers was running between this port and Panama and way stations on the Mexican and Central American coasts. The line. did not nav. and was discontinued about eight or ten years ago. The steamer Bristol well-known at this port. was one of the De Campos line, and was named the Costa Rica.
 There are no Spanish ships on the way here. so far as can be learned. and none are expected, except probably cruiser or two to gather a crop of blue eggs at the Farallon Islands.

IHE WHOLE STATE REPRESENTED

Budd will hold their commissioned rank in the United States volunteer service.
 It is we'll settled that officers for ac- tive service in the field will be selected with regard to their fitness to command, but it does not follow that the wishes of the men to be commanued will have no weight in the selection.
 Early Monday morning the Governor will doubtless receive from Washington the official call for volunteers. Imme- diately upon its receipt steps will be taken to place two regiments of infantry in the field.
 Last evening Governor Budd received a message by wire from the Mayor of Santa Barbara. The Governor is asked to procure immediately for the defense of Santa Barbara two ten-inch breech- loading rihed guns, and also obtain dis appearing carriages on which to mount the guns. The application received i'm mediate consideration. As 1t will re- uuire at least three months time to pre- pare emplacements and put in position guns of this pattern, the Governor may ,n the meantime send to Santa Barbara q Sc, ton of field artillery to repel the Spanish invader.

THE order calling the National
 Guard of California into active ser
 vice was not signed by the Gov A ernor yesterday. The plans have
 been somewhat modified since last Thursday evening, and the guard as divisional organiza ton may not be put in the field. Governor Budd and General Merriam, U. s. A, commanding the Department of California, exchanged views Friday night. The concentration of troops at Chattanooga, which leaves a slender garrison at the Presidio, was noted. General Merriam regards the force of regulars now on duty at the Presidio as ample for the present.
 Governor Budd estimated yesterday that it would cost the State $3oo,o 1000 to maintain the National Guard in active service for thirty days, and he does not feel justified in authorizing this expense in view of the uncertainty regarding the number of troops that may be called for from California under the proclamation of the President

Fresno, Stockton and other large cities of California where National Guard or ganizations are maintained, should have equal opportunity with San Francisco and Oakland for representation in the first two regiments of volunteers to be mustered into the United States service from California. On this point the Gov ernor said: "I shall make an effort to give representation to all parts of the State. a Since it appears now that the troops will remain in camp here for thirty days before going to the front, l will probably have time to consider this subject in all its bearings. If troops were expected to move immediately might adopt the plan of sending two regiments as now organized and off, cered.

THE SAFETY OF
 THE GRAIN FLEET
Some Apprehension as to What Course Spain
 Will Pursue.

With the reported seizure of the Shen- andoah comes the fear of the grain men that the wheat-laden vessels bound from this port to England may fare badly at the hands of Spain; but the fact that of the whole fleet the Shenandoah is the only American vessel has allayed the excite ment to some extent.
 The Shenandoah was the first of the grain fleet to leave this year. She sailed January 5, under Captain Murphy, with a cargo of 103,717 centals of wheat and 1725 centals of barley, shipped by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. She headed list of forty vessels, all carrying Californian wheat and all bound for England. But in the other thirty-nine there is not another American bottom. They are mostly Brit ish, with few French and one Italian.
 It Is the policy of the United States that goods belonging to the enemy not contraband and under neutral flag, shall be exempt from seizure on the seas. This would include just such shipments as are being made in the other ships of the grain fleet; but it remains to be seen whether or not Spain will take the same view She may assert the right to capture all American goods under any circum- stances, no matter under what flag they are being carried, although, of course, she could not touch the ship unless it were under the American flag. That is priva- teering, and so long as the goods shipped are not sold by their American owner to the foreign consignee they may be con sidered fair prize, but all the merchants ment, and then the seizure of such cargo by Spain will cause all kinds of trouble. So far, Spain has not announced what she will seize and what she will let alone, but she cannot prey upon any but what Is strictly American, or she will have more than the United States to fight. Europe cannot afford to allow Spain to destroy the trade she enjoys with this country

DARE TO THE FRONT.
Son of the United States Appraiser Joins the
 First Infantry.

Starr Dare, son of John T. Dare. the United States Appraiser, is one of the young Americans who has shown his true colors when he thought the country needed soldiers. On last Tuesday he went to the Presidio, and without saving a word to his parents presented himself to the recruiting officer, and inside of three hours he passed all the necessary exam nations and took the oath to support Old Glory through all trials and tribulations.
 When he returned home and informed his mother of what he had done she, as a matter of course, burst out crying but 1t was only for brief spell. Her patri- otic blood got the better of her motherly feeling, she fondly kissed her boy and gave him her blessing.

IRISH WOMEN
 ORGANIZE

Last night at the residence of Mrs J. Farrell, 3N Franklin street, meeting of Irish women was held for the purpose of organizing an Irish women's auxiliary to the regiment of Irish volunteers now enrolling. Mrs. J. Farrell, who presided, stated the object of the society to be to aid in every way in the equipment of the Irish volunteers and to organize a corps of Irish women to go to the front as nurses. Her statement that the heart of every Irish woman, remembering the wrongs of her own land, bleeds for poor suffering Cuba, was greeted with loud applause.
 Officers of the society were elected as follows: President, Mrs. J. Farrell; vice president, Miss Maggie Murtagh; treas urer, Miss Sarah J. Donnelly; secretary, Miss Annie Skelly; executive committee Mrs Dr. Kilemede, Mrs. Dr. George Lgan and Miss Annie Farrell.

MUST DO OUR DUTY.
Should Shoulder a Mus ket or Care for the
 Wounded.

Now that the war has materialized into a serious and terrible reality. it behooves every American to do for his country all that lies In his or her DOW CT, not only in shouldering a musket and marching bravely to the front, but also in giving consideration for the care of the sick and wounded of our army.
 I therefore consider the immediate formation of the sanitary commission and a Red Cross Society an imperative necessity, and I will do my utmost to further the noble work inaugurated by The Call. It is a movement in which all humanity Is seriously interested.
 The work of the sanitary commission and Red Cross Society will do much to relieve the horrors of the war by min- iStering to the wounded on the field and caring for the sick in the tempo rary military hospitals.
 AS the seat of operation of our land forces will necessarily be in a country known to breed dreadful levers, 1t is reasonable to expect that many of our army will be infected, and for these we must provide ample supplies and means for their care. This can best be done through the medium es the sani- tary commission, while the members of the Red Cross Society will nurse the men back to health again.
 The members of the Red Cross So- ciety are honored and respected by friend and foe alike in all parts of the civilized world, and the noble work done by them in the past is paged in history.
 I say again the immediate formation of the sanitary commission and a Red Cross Society Is an imperative neces- sity. DIR. T. A. ROTTANZI.

PRESIDIO POST EXCHANGE.
SignRlnnen Ordered to Report to Con oral Brooke at Camp George
 H. Thomas.

The Post Exchange at the Presidio has been discontinued by order of Lieu tenant Colonel Morris, Fourth United States Cavalry, commanding the post. The exchange was a place where enlist ed men could purchase beer and cigars without the trouble of leaving the res ervation for such refreshment
 Colonel M. P. Miller, headquarters, band and Battery G of the Third Ar tlllery, will probably leave Angel Island tomorrow and take station at the Pre- sidio.
 The three batteries of the Third Artil- lery now on duty at the Presidio are engaged at the guns of the Fort Point Notifications. The works are manned day and night and a constant outlook is maintained.
 Colonel Morris, the post commander, recognizes that 1t is the unexpected that happens and so vigilance is main tained to prevent surprise. It is not known that there is a Spanish cruiser or privateer within 1000 miles of this harbor, yet the possibility of a bold cruiser making a dash in this direction is not discounted.
 During the past thirty days the for tificatiOns Of this harbor have been ma terially strengthened with the particu- lar object of bringing quite a number of rapid-fire guns to bear on any dar- ing privateer that should attempt to come inside. The Call knows where these rapid-fire guns are stationed, but governed by the wishes of the military authorities does not designate the loca- tiOn of the guns. It is understood at the Presidio that there is a naval pa trol outside, but the range of the pa trol is not given. There is no question that the Monterey, commanded by Lieutenant Commander James w. Car line, one of the ablest and braVest of fcers in the navy, is in the harbor ready to repel any invader.
 Major Edward B. Mosley, surgeon United States army, has been relieved from duty at Benicia Barracks and or dered to proceed to this city for tenn porary duty as assistant to Lieutenant Colonel John V. D. Middleton, chief sur geon Department of California, in the duties of attending surgeon at depart ment headquarters and attending the sick at Fort Mason during the absence of Captain Charles M. Candy, assistant surgeon, who accompanied the troops to Chattanooga.
 Official orders were received yester- day at department headquarters from Washington assigning Colonel George 1T. Benton, inspector general United States army, to the Department of the Lakes, headquarters at Chicago, and assigning Lieutenant Colonel Henry w.
