MRS. PARKER SAYS H. |. GEAR
WAS CATSPAW OF DAVIS

The San Jose Mercury of October IS,
says:
The legal battle between Mrs. Abb
gail Campbell Parker and the trustees
of the estate of the late James Camp
bell, the Hawaiian planter, with H.
L. Gear, recently appointed guardian
ad litem of the estates of Muriel and
Mary Campbell, two of the minor
children of the deceased, and George
A. Davis, formerly guardian of the
persons and estates of the minors, is
developing new phases. Yesterday
Attorney T. c. Bird on behalf of Mrs
Abigail Campbell-Parker, mother of
the minors, filed notice of motion
in the Probate Court of this county to
set aside the order made August 14th
last by Judge Leib appointing II. L..
Gear guardian ad Item of the estates
of the minors.
In the motion the mother of the mi
nors makes some sensational accusa-
tons against Attorney Gear and
George A. Davis, whom, she says, are
waging the legal war against the es-
tate. The motion is made on the
grounds that there is no proceeding
relating to the estate of James Camp
bell. deceased, pending in any court;
that as the decree for distribution was
made last February and the admins
tratrix discharged from her duties,
that the court has no power to ap-
point guardian ad Item: that the
court already had an attorney ap-
pointed and that he had previously
consented to the decree of distribution
which was issued last February; and
further, that the court had no power
to appoint anyone with the power to
take appeal
The attorney for the estate claims
that the order was inadvertently made
and that the court erred in making
the order with out the notice to any of
the parties interested in the appoint
ment.
It is also alleged that the order was
granted upon statements which were
untrue. The mother of the minors
states that George A. Davis was not

guardian of the minors at the time
the petition was made and also that
Attorney Gear was not the friend of
the children, neither was he acting in
their interests.
In the sworn statement of Mrs. Abb
gail Campbell-Parker she SAYS that
she is and ha~ been the lawful guard
ian of her children and that the order
OF Judge Leib was made without her
consent or without anyone having con-
suited her regarding the matter She
further states that the action was TAX
en- at the instance of George A. Da-
Wis, who was formerly the guardian
of the children, but who resigned
from his trurt on the 4th of last
August.
A sworn statement of Cecil Brown,
one of the trustees of the estate, bears
out Mrs. Parker's statements, and he
says that during the settlement of the
affairs of the estate he fully explained
TO Abigail w. Kawananakoa, one of
the heirs who is one of the contest
ants to the distribution of the estate,
the full particulars of the orders of the
court and of the distribution of the
property to the trustees who are to
hold the estate in trust for the heirs.
The contest involves the estate OF
the late James Campbell, valued at
nearly sS,000,000. of which the Hotel
st. James of this city Is a part. By
the order of distribution of Judge
Hyland last spring involving the es-
tate in this State, the property was
turned over to the trustees to be held
in trust for the heirs. The action of
Attorney Gear was taken for the pur-
pose to declare the distribution ille-
gal and asked that the property be
distributed directly to the heirs. The
petition is now pending in the SUI
preme Court, where it was Immediate
ly taken after the order appointing At
torney Gear as guardian ad Item was
made. If the motion of Mrs Abigail
Campbell-Parke is granted the pre-
vious appointment made by Judge Leib
will not hold. It is expected that the
litigation viii develop many interesting
features.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
CROP FERTILIZATION.
A study In the Systematic Use OF
Crop Fertilizers by the
PrOEressive Farmer.

We all understand that plant food,
that is, the vital substance of ma
nures and fertilizers, is composed Of
three materials or elements potash,
nitrogen and phosphoric acid; also,
We know that these three elements
must be used in quantities that bear
certain reference to each other. We
know that crop may require GER
tain amounts of nitrogen, potash and
phosphoric acid, and also if one-half
OF the potash be taken away, though
even the nitrogen and phosphoric
acid be doubled, the resulting crop
will be only half crop or less. That
is, every pound of nitrogen used by
plants in their growth must be ac-
companied at the same time by Ger
tain amounts of potash and phos-
phoric acid. This being true, very
Important matter is proper compost
ton of manures and fertilizers; that
is, the correct proportioning of the
plant food elements for any partic-
ular crop.
The actual plant food needs of
crops is very clearly shown by the
chemical analysis of the crop. In this
we must take the whole crop, as
plant food is just as necessary for the
stalks and straw as for the salable
portions # the crop, and the one can
not be grown without the other.
Reckoned in this sense, we give here
with the actual plant f-od contained

1t is true that the quantity which
the world can consume increases from

for cotton. But this increase is not
equal to the increased area that the
growing south brings into cultivation
each year.
St. Tammany farmer., 1903-04-11
PhOs-
DhOric

1t will be noticed that there is a
wide variation in the total amounts of
plant food, due to the fact that some
of these crops produce an acre yield
many times that of others. Also, all
crops of the clover family are omit
ted, as they store up atmospheric nj
trogen, and therefore contain plant
food over and above that actually
necessary for their growth. On this
very account, fertilizers contain less
nitrogen than the crops they are in
tended to grow, as compared with the
potash and phosphoric acid, simply
because the clover is meant to sup
ply rather cheaply too, more or less
plant food nitrogen. There is one
more point to take into considera-
ton. Phosphoric acid when applied
to the soil very quickly takes insolu-
BILE forms, which means in effect, that
it has become largely unavailable as
plant food. On this account, the
amount actually contained in the
crop is doubled in judging fertilizer
for same, this as rough sort of COM
pensation for this tendency towards
taking insoluble forms. It is not very
accurate, but it is all we have, and it's
error in all probability is on the safe
side.
Omitting the nitrogen in the above
table, and doubling the phosphoric
acid, we have the potash and phos-
phoric acid needs about as follows:

TRADE IN PORK AND BEANS
Have Become n Staple Food in thu
Hotels and Restaurants
of Chicago.

One hundred and nifty bushels OF
beans are used every week by three
baked pork and bean bakeries in Chi
cago. Baked pork and beans have be-
come as staple an article of diet as
bread in almost all hotels, restaurants
and boarding houses in Chicago. It's
a regular feature of, the free lunch in
saloons, and figures on the MONDAY bill
at all the clubs, says the Tribune.
While many hotels and restaurants
make Their. own baked pork and beans,
there are three factories, or bakeries, or
whatever they may be termed-bean
foundries, the boys in the neighbor-
hood of these institutions call them
in Chicago. These three bakeries
cook nothing but baked pork and
beans, which they send out in great
quantities every day. They all sell at
wholesale. The restaurant and hotel
people put the baked beans in large
one, two and three gallon jars, or
even larger. They dish the beans out
in the little earthen pots about the
size of a teacup, and, after placing the
tempting piece of pork over the top.
warm the ~beans over the oven, and
then serve to their customers.
In the pork and bean bakeries the
beans are soaked for day in cold wa
ter. Then the water is run off and
they are placed in the pans and are
ready for the oven. A hot fire is kept
in the furnaces for hours before they
are ready for the beans. The fires
are drawn out and the beans are placed
in the oven at one o'clock each day. At
five the next morning they are taken
out, and in short time they have been
dished out into the jars and are be-
ing taken about the city and distrib-
uted ready for the luncheon hour.

Farmers waking Up.

Farmers are beginning to wake up
to the Importance of keeping their
soil fertile. They have found out that
they can not go on indefinitely taking
crops from their land and returning
nothing to it. As a result of this
more and more are rotating their
crops. seeding down more land to
clover, are keeping more stock to
produce more fertilizers, and are
learning that instead of their land
wearing out and the soil becoming ex-
hausted, that they can improve the
fertility of their land and raise heav-
ier crops with less labor, and make
more than they could under the old
system of robbing the land.-Midland

RESTS IN HISTORIC SPOT.
Where "Brave Bill" Anthony, Hero
of the Battleship Maine,
Was Laid Away.

Students of American history and
who have given particular study TO the
incidents and details of the battle of
Long Island, in the days of the reyolu-
ton, have made the interesting dis
covery that the last resting place Of
Brave Bill'' Anthony is in historic
ground. This hero of the tragedy in
Havana harbor, which hastened the
conflict between the United States and
Spain, lies in the very path followed
by the British under Lord Howe when
they stole around to tie rear of the
American forces in the battle of Long
Island, and. surprising the patriots, ef-
fected their defeat, says the New York
Times.
The grave of Anthony is on a gen.
tie slope dipping down into little
valley near that part of the cemetery
called Beacon hill. In the days of the
revolution this vale was known as
Jamaica pass. From the Jamaica
road, as it was then known, at point
which is now Jamaica avenue and Full
ton street, East New York, this pass,
to-day given over to resting places of
the dead, wound through the hills to
the northwestward, twisting and turn
known as Rockaway path, and which
led into the Jamaica road, some dis
tance to the westward.
When Lord Howe, with his redcoats
and Hessians, crossed from the British
camp on Staten Island to Long Island,
and prepared to move from the shore
of New York bay upon the Americans
intrenched in Brooklyn, he found that
there were four routes by which the
important positions esta blished by the
patriots could be approached in force.
These were the Coast road, Flatbush
pass, Bedford pass, and, in the rear of
the Americans, Jamaica pass. Leav-
ing half of his forces to engage the
Americans on the south, Howe, with
Sir Henry Clinton commanding his ad-
vance guard, made a wide detour
through Flatlands and what is now
East New York with the idea Of taking
the Americans in the rear. The Brit
ish commander found that all of the
passes mentioned, with the exception
of Jamaica pass, were strongly guard
ed against attack. The patriots, ap-
parently expecting no move from that
quarter, had neglected to properly
guard and patrol Jamaica pass, to
which Howe marched stealthily in the
night. When Clinton in the van
reached Howard's halfway tavern,
which stood near the entrance to the
pass at what is now the junction of
Jamaica avenue, Broadway and Fulton
street, East New York, he compelled
the young son of Maj. Howard, the inn
keeper, to guide him and his men
through the pass and along the Rock
away path. The British came out
again upon the Jamaica road. near
what is now the Bedford district of
Brooklyn, taking the Americans by
surprise in the morning and compell-
ing them to retreat upon New York.
In this historic ground, where on
that night in the days that were max
ing for the creation of the great re-
public. the long, silent column of red
coats wound stealthily through the
hills to deal heavy blow to the pa
triot cause. sleeps "Brave Bill'' An
thony, hero of another conspicuous
day in American history.

A NOTE OF WARNING.
AZ Prevailing Prices Almost Any
y Crop Will Bring the Farmer
More Money than Cotton.

We feel called upon to raise note
OF warning to our readers. The pres
ent indications all point to an extra
effort to grow cotton. Very many are
arranging to raise from one bale to
two per acre. The efforts in this di-
rection are not single or isolated.
They are well distributed and quite
numerous. And they are praiseworthy.
They are on the line of progress and
success. They look to the increased
productiveness of the soil and to bet
ter seed and better cultivation to pro-
duce these better crops. All of these
will help to cheaper the raising OF
the cotton. This is highly commenda-
BILE. but still it tends to increase the
crop. Then, again, the fair prices OF
the past two seasons are stimulating
the cotton growers to plant more.
Again, the gradual, yet steady, growth

self increase the acreage in cotton.
There will be much more land in cul-
tiyation in the south this year than
any former year. Now, we feel that
IL is necessary, in view of these and
many other reasons, to warn our
readers that there IS danger in plant
ing cotton this year. Now, while SO
MANY will rush on to loss and ruin, is
vour time to steer for safe and sure
thing. Every other farm product IS
bringing good prices. You can make
money by planting any and all crops
besides cotton.
A. the prices now prevailing any
thing pays better than cotton. Heea

PROFITABLE WINTER WORK
There is Always Plenty to Be Done
During the Cold and Stormy
Days Of Winter.

It would be impossible for me to
outline a plan of profitable winter
work that would be suited to all
requirements of various farms are SO
different. am never at a loss, how
ever, to find plenty of work for the
winter season that will prove profit
able at any season of the year, and
have noticed that the farmer who
plans for work in the shelter usually
keeps his surroundings in good con-
dition. During the cold winter days
the stock need extra attention, and
j. the stables have not already been
made as warm as possible this matter
should be attended to first, as it is
better to keep up the animal heat by
providing warm stables than to have
the animals eat an extra amount OF
food in order to keep from freezing.
Corn and oats are costly fuel. Then
there is the manure to be taken care
of. This can be drawn to the field
and distributed to advantage during
the winter months. On most lands
the manure is better spread early.
Then there is usually some sod to be
turned, and all favorable days for
blowing may be profitably spent
in turning the sod. The freezing and
thawing will help pulverize the soil,
and the water from melting SHOWS
and spring rains will sink down into
the subsoil and remain there for the
use Of the crops. When the summer
drought sets in this stored-up moist
ure will be drawn upon and the crop
will be much more able to resist
drought. AS the work is done at the
farmers leisure, the blowing is more
likely to be well done than if left un-
til the spring rush. But during the
winter there are likely to be many
perhaps half the time-that is
more profitably spent in the shelter.
It is not profitable to work in the
fields during the cold stormy days.
Those days are better spent around
the fireside. If the day is not too
cold there may be machinery which
can be repaired under shelter, but if
this can not be done the time is bet
ter spent in reading and studying
agricultural books and papers and
planning for next years crop. This
time is by no means wasted; in fact
it may be made as profitable as the
days spent in the field. We need this
study more particularly at this sea-
son, as it will help US to arrange for a
better plan of managing our crops
during the next summer. l have
made it a practice to plan for GER
tain amount of agricultural reading
each year. undertake to study SUBJ
iect and limit the time in which this
work is to be done. Then when this
is complete l take up some other
subject pertaining to agriculture, and
this, with the agricultural papers that
come to my desk, gives me plenty of
reading matter to profitably occupy
my spare moments.-A. j. Legg, in
Agricultural Epitomist.
