as much as other small grain, but any
nurse crop is liable to kill the grass if
the grain is allowed to ripen, unless the
harvest season is excessively wet.
Many in the southern part of the
county have had satisfactory results by
sowing grass seed with small grain and
then turning stock onto it and feed the
grain down. This is considered the
surest plan and has the advantage of
furnishing pasture the first season
When this course is taken the stock
should not be allowed to Craze late in
the fall as this course would be liable
to expose the roots too much the first
winter.
Alfalfa will do we'll on any soil in this
country where water does not stand on
the surface; this is without doubt the
best hay plant that grows; and when
once we'll started can be harvested
twice and three times each season
Alfalfa should be sown without nurse
crop and should not be moved the first
season unless the field should become
foul and then the, weeds should be
moved early in the summer so to allow
the grass TO grow again and form a
mulch to protect the roots the first
winter, and it is also better not to NOW
but one crop Of hay the second season
after the second season you have a
permanent fixture and one that will
yield more wealth each year than any
grain crop that can be produced.
Bromis inermis and timothy can be
sown in the spring with small grain
and pastured, or the crop can be cut
for hay before the grain becomes ma
ture, with reasonable assurance; but if
the grain is allowed to ripen it absorbs
all the moisture in the soil, unless there
is excessive rains at that particular
time, and the greater portion is burnt
up by the extreme heat of the sun that
beats down on the unshaded tender
plants that has had the shade of the
grain up to the day of harvest.
A better time to SOW these last named
grasses is in the fall of the year in Sept
ember or the first part of October, and
q good way is to use grain drill and
SOW in stubble field. A little fall rye
can be sown with the grasses to give
weight to the seeds 80 they will carry
the seeder evenly and also add
to the pasture. in tho early part of the
season.
If partial failure il discovered after
harvest in tho spring seeding. put a |
little more seed in the press drill amigo
over the ground again in the fall If
The seeding is not satisfactory when
springs opens, bring forth the press
drill again and add the required amount
of grass seed, and if You want to pas
ture the field add some barley or oats.
II hay is wanted allow it to head out
md NOW it for hay. j.,
The grain drill is the best machine to
Iow grass with, it puts it all uniform
lepth in the ground and makes it pos
,ible to SOW on all kinds of ground,
whether hard or mellow, and in many
Eases saves the field from drifting"
when the winds are high in the spring.
In no case SOW clovers in the fall of the
year but as early in the spring as
possible. .- |

Conflicting News.

The Sacramento Bee states that
the blood hounds that were sent to
the scene from Nevada refused to
take the trail of the escaped men, It
further states that the dogs would be
taken to Placerville and given a
chance on a fresher scent. On top of
this report the Journal contained the
following:
dispatch from Placerville reached
this office last night to the effect that
both the hounds had been shot by
convicts in ambush The Journals
special correspondent at the scene of
the chase, Fred Brown, of Auburn,
wired later that there was nothing in
1he story of the dogs being killed, but
that they were on the trail following
good scent. The topography of the
country is such that the hounds are
at great disadvantage and Mr.. Fer

exposed to grave danger

A Lively Convict.

Roberts, the Folsom convict who
was captured Wednesday in Califor
MIA, appears to be about the liveliest
traveller that has visited this end Of
of the earth since the flood. The day
before he was reported at Tallac,
where he scared several of the Israel
ties out of a score of karats Of dia-
monds. The same afternoon he took
lunch at a farm house near Placerville
and the same evening Officer Ferret
had him rearly tracked down near
Single Springs. Not being content
with covering this distance, a peace
officer Of Carson located him near the
thinner ranch. while an hour after
the constabulary of Gardnerville had
a birds eye view of the wonder.
With all of this journey, it is NO
wonder that he had to give way to
fatigue and fall asleep conveniently
close to a county Jail in Davisville
Cal. Roberts changed positions nearly
, as fast as Swinerton's pet bull dog
in the comic supplement of the Exam
liner.
