better and Surer way TO head off
the beef trust and bring il to time
than to stop buying and eating meat
for thirty days is for congress to re-
move the tariff from cattle and their
product. The customs duty on cattle
is 27H per cent advalorem. and on
beef. mutton and pork > cents per
pound. Let congress admit the cattle
from Canada Mexico. Central and

Tuesday night late On the same charge He was arraigred yesterday in Justice Grays court and his case was set for hearing Friday morning at 10 o'clock. PLEADED GUILTY-Juanita Silzeu who was arrested for violation Of the prohibition law at her road house. northeast cf town, pleaded guilty, paid ten dollars fine in Justice Gray's court and was discharged. The prosecuting witness suggested that all he desired was to close the place up and that if the defendant would do that he thought the law would be satisfied with the minimum fine. She so agreed and the case was quickly settled. The case of J. II. W. Jenson held to answer similar charge was postponed til 10 o'clock this morning.
 A PECULIAR ROBBERy-Tuesday morning Mrs. Emma Robsrt who con ducts the College Place lodging house discovered that in some unaccountable manner she had been robbed or about fifty dollars. She recalled that the night before she had rented two rooms to three young men and one or them gave her a ten-dollar bill. To make change she got out her purses of which she had two, and in one of them there was about fifty dollars in money. One of the men remarked to her on the carelessness of having so much money around and after she discovered her loss she naturally recalled the remark She at once suspected the new corners and reported to the police. They were found but their conduct and answers to questioning established their Inno- cence in the minds Of the officers. Still a search warrant was secured and the rooms searched but without result The incident seems to be wrapped in mystery and to say the least it is un- fortunate for Mrs. Robart.
 A WALSZ MURDER SUSPECT Justice Burnett yesterday received letter from Justice Luther Kaltenbach of Gila Bend saying that a man had been arrested in the Mohawk valley country on the suspicion of being the murderer of Charles Walsz. The sus- pect is a travelling tinker who passed through the country about the time O. the murder and was supposed to be in the vicinity of Walsz's house at the time it was burned He arrived in Gila Bend on Monday, the morning O. the day that the news of the burning reached there and before it was known that Walsz was dead. His possible connection with the crime was investi- gated. at the time and his trail was followed back. The officers satisfied themselves that he had not been ar the house of, Walsz though he hal passed not far away.

 TT WAS PHONY-The Republican's jeweIry editor slipped a few notches yesterday in describing the valuable ring set with opals and garnets offered for sale for three dollars by James McQue who later appeared in police court to answer the charge of vag- rancy. A daylight look at the goods showed plainly to anybody that saw it that the ring was of the cheapest sort of material and with the gems such goods can be bought for 30 cents dozen according to catalogues in pos session of the police. MT. McQue was therefore given a fifteen-day sentence. What emphasized the truth of this dis covery more than ever was the fact that William Sloan was arrested yes terday by Officer George Howe. with a ring exactly like it in his possession. When asked by the recorder if he had ever been here before Sloan replied in the negative and on further examina- tion it was developed that he was in- clined to regret being here now. But he will probably stay for fifteen days accepting the same entertainment as his friend McQue.

Ii Is related OF the late Bret Harte
that he was once travelling through a
mountainous region by coach. His seat
was next to the drivers, and it oc-
Cured to him to entertain that func-
tionary and incidentally his fellow
passengers by narrating a series OF
hair raising episodes in the coaching
history of the wild west.
With mischievous ingenuity he cal
culated each tale SO cleverly that its
bloodcurdling climax was reached at
a particularly bad bit of road. thus
forcing present peril to heighteu the
effect OF imagined adventure At drst
the adventures were not imagined: they
were true stories. but the widening
eyes and breathless interest Of his au
dience was too great temptation. and
he soon began to improyise his own
fictitious hero, Yuba Bill. and other
wondrous whips of equal power were
pressed into service; Indians, land
slides, holdups, blizzards, broken
bridges, forest, fires and runaways were
sprinkled in to taste, and the result
was q marvellous conglomerate OF dime
novel. epic, racing annals and local his
tory.
Eyen the slowly stirred perceptions
OF the touring Briton at length recog.
nlzed that this was no common story
teller, and when Mr.. Harte left the
coach speculation ran rife among those
who remained. The driver let them all
have their guess, and then, turning on
lis perch to confront his load, he tri-
umphantly decided the matter:
+ may think 'e's travelling hincog,
but e amt! | knows i'm, 1 do e
don't look much like is picture, but e
cawn't be nobody else. 'E's Buffalo
Bill, gentlemen, that's % e is!'

Corn Husking.

There are several methods of husk-
Ing corn and handling the fodder or sto-
yer. The most common one Is to drag
four or more shocks to central point,
husk and throw the corn In a large
pile on the ground and tie the bundles
Of stover in a large shock. The wagon
follows, and the corn Is picked up and
loaded on and hauled to the storing
place. Later On the stover Is hauled
I'm from the field and stacked or placed
I'm the barn. The husked ears thus
must be handled twice where once
would do, says an Ohio Farmer writer.
To save this needless work some
farmers make leaders" or strong bur-
lap or canvas about four or four and a
half feet square. A loader is laid down
at each shock that is being husked.
and the ears are thrown on 1t. When
Eagon load has been husked. two men
do the loading. picking up the leaders
one at a time and dumping into the
wagon with a swing motion. This will
require twenty or more leaders. III the
wagon is kept in the field while husk-
ing a smaller number will do.
Another way is to use old or new
fertilizer or grain sacks. The open sack
is suspended on a simple tripod. A
sack Is thus suspended for each husker,
and when each sack Is filled it is de-
tached. and another takes its place
When the wagon is kept with the husk-
ers. the one bushel corn baskets may
be used. They cost but few cents
zach.

from the atmosphere, which 1t would
be able to do by means Of its proper
bacteria, but 1t is entirely dependent
upon the soil for its supply Of this most
valuable and important element Of
plant food.
To produce good crops Of alfalfa
without the nitrogen gathering" bac-
terra requires exceedingly rich soil and
liberal applications Of barnyard ma
nure or other nitrogenous fertilizer.
Even the rich black prairie soil Of L.
linois does not furnish sufficient avail
able nitrogen for maximum crops Of al
falfa.
Applications of available nitrogen to
Illinois soil produce crops Of alfalfa
which yield from two to four times as
much hay as crops which obtain all
their nitrogen from the natural supply
of the soil.
The incubation Of Illinois soil with
the proper alfalfa bacteria enables the
alfalfa to feed upon the inexhaustible
supply of free nitrogen In the air and
the inoculated soil produces just as
large crops of alfalfa as soil which has
been heavily fertilized with CONNER
cial nitrogen.
On most Illinois soils, excepting lime
stone soils, applications Of air Stacked
lime as well as incubation with bac-
terra will be advantageous. Most cul-
tivated soils are more or less acid. The
lime corrects the acidity and promotes
the development and activities of the
bacteria.
On some types Of soil, probably,
phosphorus can be applied with profit
for the production Of alfalfa.
