Mechanical Condition Of the Soil
Reports of some careful experiments
concerning the mechanical conditions
Of soils and the effect of cultivation
show the result of frequent stirring OF
the surface soil, rolling, bed, and level
culture. 1t was found that crops give
better returns on soils kept in a
crumbly condition than on those re-
duced to a powder-like ineness. IL
was found that stirring or hoeing the
surface is beneficial when the soil mas
been packed by rains, but that the
practice is detrimental during drought
when the soil Is already In goou
mechanical condition. Rolling the lanu
favored a uniform sprouting OF SEED,
but in general the yield of the rolied
ground was smaller than the unrolled.
Packing the surface soil by means OF
rolling was detrimental to plant
growth when the soil was not subse-
ouently stirred. Results were gener-
ally in favor of level cultivation cs
against bedding.

PREVENTING E-EcTRoLYsIs.
A Possible Method of Rendering va
grant Electric Currents Harmless.

A Posslblo Method of Rendering Va
grant Electric Currents Harmless.
The amount OF damage done to water
and gas pipes by electricity that has
escaped from trolley lines on its way
back to the power house is almost in
calculable. The evil is not so serious
nowadays as 1t was several years ago.
Modern methods of providing for the
return OF the current have lessened its
vagrant disposition. Nevertheless the
trouble continues to some extent. A
suggestion that bears on the subject
was made by the Engineering News a
few days ago. In st. John, N. b., II
mas been the practice for nearly half
a century to close the joints In city
water pipes, not with melted lead. as
in most places, but with pine plugs.
The experiment was tried in 1851 and
again in 1857. On both occasions 1t
worked so we'll that the same policy
was pursued two years ago. The OBJ
iect in view was merely to secure econ
omy. But mention of the fact reminds
the Engineering News OF the insulat-
ing qualities of wood and of the propo-
sition made last year that two or more
lengths of wooden pipe be introduced
into the mains in every district where
trouble was to be anticipated. Elec-
tricity will not enter a line Of pipe II
It cannot get out again. An obstacle
which would prove effectual at any
given point along system of metallic
conductors would dlssuade a current
from going into it in the first place
Hence, IL the wooden plugs interferec
with the conductivity of the pipes Il
is hard to see why they would not pro
tect them from invasion. And II thu
currents would not attempt to trave
along the pipe at all no electrolysis o.
corrosion would ensue.

Sheep Killing Dogs.

c. p. Reynolds, writing In Mlchi-
gan Farmer, says: | recently heard
a well established and practical farm
er in speaking of sheep prospects as
sert: II wish there was a tax Of five
dollars per head on every dog in the
state today; perhaps then we could
thin out a few sheep-killing ours.
Judging from the reports of sheep
killing by dogs from various parts OF
the state there are a good many sheep
raisers who wish the same thing. and
most heartily. l have it on the au-
thority of one who is in a position to
know, that there have been over one
hundred and twenty-five dollars worth
of sheep killed in this township al
ready this season, and the first two
months of pasturing are scarcely past.
One farmer is reported to have lost
sheep to the assessed value Of forty
six dollars; another has just suffered
losses that will sum up to fifty dol
lars or more. These estimates are not
exaggerated. and in all probability
come close to, IL not below, the actuai
value Of the sheep Killed and injured.
other small losses. comparatively. are
reported that will easily bring the
damages up to the estimated value OF
sheep destroyed. And what is more
to the point, the chances are very
poor indeed that any of the losers Will
be able to realize more than fifty per
cent of the value as estimated at the
time of killing by the appraiser.
Some states are enacting laws
against mob violence by making the
county responsible with a substantial
cash consideration to the party or rel
atives of the party suffering injury
1t is supposed that this Is about the
only thing that is going to have the
desired effect. Would it not be gooo
idea If the sheep farmers Of the state
were protected in some similar man
ner? At the most, it is scant pro
lection that they have az present
when injuries are paid pro rata gu
of the dog fund.

About 1880 Capt. Oberlin M. Carter
was put in charge Of the harbor work
at Savannah, Ca, where extensive I'M
provements were projected. In 1896
Carter was relieved and sent to Lon
don as military attache of the Ameri-
can legation. His successor at Sa-
vannah discovered and exposed cor
rupt practices on the part OF Carter 10y
which the United States government
had been defrauded of about $2,oOO,oe
Carter was recalled from London, tried
by court-martial and found guilty on
every charge. The trial court was
made up OF military officers OF high
character. The finding was that Car
ter should be dismissed from the army,
nay a fine OF $4,000 and undergo a
term of Imprisonment, and he will be
made to serve it, too.

Spanish bullfghting, with its danger
and excitement, though without the
romance, the glitter and the gaudy cos
tunes. can be seen almost any pleas
ant day at the Chicago stockyards. as
was shown recently when long-horn-
ed Texas steer broke loose, killed a
horse. chased the general public to
the nearest fences and was finally laid
low by several policemen. There Is
one great difference, however, between
the bullfght of Madrid and the steer
fight of the stockyards-the Spanish
bull is attacked, tortured and continu-
ally goaded till he dies. while the wild
and woolly stockyards steer does the
attacking on his own hook and appar-
entity enjoys himself until he is either
slain or captured.

Cattle for Cnba.

The report that there has been fric-
ton between the officials OF the war
department and the department OF ag-
riculture over the matter of admission
of cattle to Cuba is unfounded. Tia
action of the president provided for
the admission TO Cuba, duty free, OF
cattle with which to improve Cubaf
stock. These cattle must be half-blooo
or better. Under a circular issued by
the department of agriculture provi-
sion was made for the shipment or
such graded COWS and bulls from Sa-
yannah, Mobile, New Orleans and Gal
weston, where these animals were to be
inspected by an inspector of the agrl-
cultural department and II found SUIT
able for breeding purposes, free from
disease and immune from the fever
tick, they were to be passed with
certificate to be presented to the Gus
tom officer at the port OF landing
Immunity from Texas fever required
that they should be shipped from
points below the quarantine line. Thus
far the two departments were working
in cooperation. Now, however it has
been decided to do away with the III
spection in the United States by the
department OF agriculture and to re-
quire such inspection at the ports OF
entry in Cuba, which will come under
the operations of the war department.
There is, however, no conflict between
the two branches of the government
as has been stated The department
of agriculture has been unable to pro-
vide inspectors for all of the 101 small
er ports of clearance in the United
States, and thus exporters at the
smaller ports have declared that they
were being Disseminated against, in
that cattle should be shipped only
from Savannah. Mobile, New Orleans
and Galveston. AS it is now, they car
be shipped from any port without in
spection, but subject to inspection
when they reach Cuba. 1t is stated a.
the department of agriculture that 1
cattle reaching Cuba for entry undeI
this duty free clause fail to pass in
spection, it will not be necessary to re
turn them to the United States, as thel
can still enter by paying the regula
duty. The department of agriculture
having no authority or funds for in
spection of cattle in Cuba, this dut!
naturally falls upon the war depart
ment

was one of two rods. with followers.
They fished for eleven days and Sc
cured a total OF 2S2 salmon and lib

pounds. The best days catch for one
rod was thirty-three salmon and TWEEN
ty-two grilse, or a total weight OF 55S
