THE TRIAL OF ADAMS
IL Will Be Decided Today Whether He
 Is Insane or Not.

The trial of Walter R. Adams charg- ed with insanity was begun in probate court yesterday. He had been arrested because it was believed that he was a menace to society. It was also said that he had made threats against the police and officers of the law who had contributed to his various incarcera tions in the city and the county jails. It was known that he had killed one man and that though it had been done at time when he was threatened with an assault, it was not believed that the homicide was necessary.
 The witnesses against him were the officers and those who had heard him make threats. Constable Lee Redwine said that Adams told him that he would fix Justice Burnett a-plenty." Adams admitted the use of the lan- guage, but he said that it was before the late election and that what he meant was that he controlled fifteen votes which would be cast against the justice In the same way he was go- ing to fix Marshal Kinney.
 The police officers testified to his conduct while he was locked up in the
Arizona republican., 1903-09-30

city jail. In reply to this testimony Adams said that he was not guilty of all the cussedness which had been charged to him there. On the other hand, the officers said that they lay in wait for him and had caught him in the act of doing things fer their an noyance. It had been found necessary to keep him in the sweat box q good deal of the time. He had a way of splitting on the lock of his cell and otherwise defiling it SC as to make trouble for his jailer. One occasion, said Marshal Kinney, he handed him d cloth and told him to clean the lock and when he had it done the door would be opened and he would be given something to eat. The marshal was asked if Adams compiled with the re- quest. Yes" replied the marshal, he cleaned it off tie second day
 Two witnesses testified that he was sane. One of them was the proprietor of a machine shop where he had lately been employed. He said he had done work requiring a concentration of thought that an insane man could not have done. John T. Dunlap testified that he had trasacted a good deal cf business with him and believed him tO be rational.
 Other witnesses for the defense will be examined this morning. The case is a somewhat puZZling one. It is real ized. though, that something will have to be done with the defendant. It is not forgotten that shortly before "fopcorn John murdered two men at Scottsdale he had been on trial for insanity. It was found by the court that he was not insane but just q little peculiar"

from June Is to October. The exact
number an acre will carry depends
upon the season, the soil and the
method of handling. To get the best
results, the field should be divided into
three or four equal parts and the pigs
changed over TO a fresh part each
week or ten days.
Of course, greater returns in pounds
of pork produced may be secured by
cutting the rape and feeding it to
the pigs in pens, but more labor is re-
quired, and so, in measure at least,
the advantage is lost.
Young Cattle and Steers.
Calves relish a small amount OF
rape at a very early age and do we'll
on it when fed judiciously Young
cattle thrive on it when fed in cOnnec-
ton with natural grass pasture. Steers
intended for stall feeding or late fall
marketing cannot be better cared for
than to be allowed the run of good
field of rape.
Dairy COWS respond well to a rape
ration, but judgment must be exer-
cised in feeding, or evil OdOrs may find
their way into the milk pail.
In feeding rape to cattle and sheep,
care should be taken to prevent bloat-
ing. They should never be allowed
to enter a rape field when very hun
cry; more especially should this pre-
DIo ic
wet from dew, rain or frost. Once &C
customed to the feed, however, and
having access to it at all times, little
danger may be anticipated. Pigs are
not affected in this way.
On account of it's juicy nature, it is
practically Impossible to cure rape,
and when cured is not so palatable
nor so valuable a food as when green.
1t is not much used in making en-
silage.
In sections where rather steady
frost maintains (once the hard frosts
Gomez, rape may be cut and put in
small piles to freeze. 1t should be
taken to the stable the day before re-
quired for feed and allowed to thaw
out completely before being fed. Re-
peated thawing and freezing spoil it
for forage.
In chemical composition and feeding
value, rape resembles clover 1t is
even richer than clover in fiesh-form-
ing constituents, and is exceedingly
succulent. Analysis show it's water
content to run from about SO to about
"a per cent. The nutritive ratio or
proportion of digestible protein (flesh-
forming constituency is about 1 to
3.37. Such a large proportion of di-
gestible protein accounts for the great
feeding value of the plant. Then,
since average, growing animals re-

pounds. A larger quantity OF seed
may be used when it is intended to
cut as soon after seeding as possible;
lesser quantity where it is intended
to permit the plants to attain their
full growth. The leaves and small
stems are the most nutritious and pal
atable parts of the plant, hence the
ABOVE conditions of seeding.
When cutting for soiling, care
should be taken to cut not lower than
| four or four and half inches from
caution, a second, and even a third
crop may be expected from the same
area without any further seeding.
Where sown in rows, less than four
pounds per acre may be used. The
quantity is of course affected by the
space between the rows. Anywhere
from 20 to 80 inch spaces give more
or less satisfaction, but 22-inch spaces
are probably the most profitable. Less
space than 20 inches makes horse cul-
tivatiOn incOnvenient; greater space
means a slight decrease in the yield
per acre. In dry soils or droughty
areas, level culture should be prac-
ticed; in badly drained fields or rainy
districts, it is advisable to sow on
ridges.
The method of seeding in rows is,
generally speaking, much to be pre-
ferred over the broadcast. The prin-
cipal reasons for such preferment are:
% Greater proportion of leaf to stem;
(2) less waste when pastured, as ami
mails naturally walk between rows, and
do not, therefore, trample so many
leaves or plants as when sOwn broad
cast; Cd permits of cultivation, which
insures conservation of moisture in
dry seasons, and destruction of weeds
in wet llmes.
Rape is sometimes mixed with grain
and sown in the spring. 1t makes a
slow growth till harvest time, when
after the removal of the grain, it rap
idly shoots up. This is a rather I'M
certain method and more or less OBJ
jectionable when it does succeed, on
account of the amount of it harvested
with the grain, and so retarding the
curing of the sheaves.
Glover will, generally speaking, do
better than rape under such cOndi-
tions
Rape is sometimes sOwn in corn
fields, just before the last cultivation.
The results are seldom satisfactory,
however, as the corn takes nearly all
the available moisture and sunlight.
AS already indicated, rape is an ex-
ceedingly valuable food. 1t is espe-
cially well fitted for sheep, swine,
young cattle and steer. 1t has been
fed to dairy COWS with good results.
Sheep on Rape.
Breeding ewes do well on it in sum-
mer, and it constitutes capital feed
for flushing" or putting them into
good condition for breeding in the fall.
Lambs thrive upon it, but in their case
it is possibly even more imperative
than with older sheep or cattle to pro-
vide some other pasture preferably
other than clover) in addition to the
rape.

THE RAPE PLANT, ITS CULTURE,
USE AND VALUE.

sive use than rape. 1t is simple OF
culture; it makes strong, rapid
growth; it adapts itself quite readily
to different soils and to various eli
matte conditions; it responds vigor-
ously to fertilizer and to good culti-
walton: and, most important OIL all it's
good qualities, is a palatable, whole
some and nutritious green food for all
kinds of live stock on the average
Canadian farm.
Rape stems and leaves resemble
those of Swedish turnips or rutabagas,
but the roots are like those of cabbage.
The leaves are numerous, smooth,
more or less fieshy irregular in out
line and covered with fine blush
bloom. The plant grows to a height
of from one to four feet, according to
soil and season.
The variety most commonly used
in Canada is the Dwarf Essex. Sew
eral other sorts, most notably Dwarf
Victoria and Broad Leaved, have been
brought forward but have not, on
trial, been found to equal the Dwarf
Essex in yield or in power OF resist
ance to drought or flood.
The varieties used as forage plants
are biennial, but do not, generally
speaking, live through the winter in
Canada, unless it be in certain parts
of British Columbia. Seed, therefore,
is imported and is generally good.
Occasionally, however, seed of the
annual variety or Bird Seed rape, is
sold in the place of the Dwarf Essex
or other biennial sorts, causing con-
siderable loss to the stockman. The
seeds man from whom the rape seed
is secured should, therefore, be re-
uuired to guarantee it as being that OF
Dwarf Essex.
Rape in the farm economy may be
classed with root or hOed crops. 1t
will grow on almost any kind OF arabic
land. 1t does best, however, on soils
rich in plant food and full of humus or
vegetable matter. 1t should, there
fore. be soWn on fields prepared as
they would be for roots or corn. SOD,
to give a good crop of rape, must be
left to rot for some time after plough
ing, before sowing rape. 1t should be
narrowed at frequent intervals and
the field be in a state of perfect filth
when seeded New land may be most
proftably used to grow this crop for
wear or two Immediately after being
cleared Large crops of rape are
practically certain on such land, and
stumps or roots interfere but slightly
with the harvesting.
Black soil or muck gives good re-
turns when put under rape, and may
be expected to give better returns
with rape than with most other
crops.
The seeding season extends from
the first week in May till the end OF
August, subject, of course, to local eli
matte conditions. The crop, growing
under favorable weather and soil con-
ditions, may be fit for pasture in about
five weeks. From this fact, the stock
man can decide for himself how late
he may venture to SOW in any given
district in order to ensure suffi-
GENTLY long feeding period to make
il worth while The plant will stand a

about to 5.5, it is easily seen why
most animals require some other food
not so rich in protein, along with
rape. Timothy or mixed grass pas
ture would be suitable for this pur-
pose.

If the rent of the land be considered
and any commercial fertilizer, or barn
yard manure, be applied, the cost OF
production would of course be in
creased. AS already indicated, how
ever, barnyard manure may be most
profitably applied to land used for
this crop.
Lambs and sheep have been fed
with most excellent results. No ex-
act record was kept of the amount
consumed, however, as they were pas
tured.
Steers have been pastured here on
rape and good results secured.
bunch of twenty-five steers made an
average of so pounds gain, live weight,
in three weeks on an area of two
acres. About thirty sheep had been
allowed to pasture on part OF this
same area for ten weeks. The sheep
had at the same time access to linn
tied area of natural grass pasture.
A study of the results shows that
to produce 100 pounds of pork, only
addition to the rape. The average
amount OF meal required for 100
pounds of por.. is 425 pounds. The
use of rape, therefore, saved 156
pounds of meal on each 100 pounds of
pork produced, or about 1,210 pounds
of meal saved by three-sixteenths of
an acre of rape. All pig weights men,
toned are live weight.
Many other lots have been fed SIM
, ilarly with similar results. In 1902
sixty pigs were fed on an acre and
half. In addition to the rape pas
ture, about 500 pounds of meal were
required for each pig from weaving
time to an average of 1876 pounds live
weight in October or November.
