HOG CAUSES DOUBLE CRIME.

Makes Farmer Angry and He Shoots
His Wife and Himself.
Calvin e. Wade, q prominent farmer
of Chenango County, N. Y, SHOT and
fatally wounded his wife and then killed
himself. He had been vainly trying to
drive a hog through a gate and had
chased it about until he was out of
breath and out of temper. Finally he
ran into the house and got his gun, de-
claring he would kill the animal. His
wife laughed at him. Quick as a flash
he whirled about and fired at her. She
dropped as if dead. Wade then placed
the muzzle of the gun to his own head
and with the other barrel killed himself.
His wife died shortly afterward.

GRAIN COMMISSIONERS IN SESSION

The annual meeting of the state
grain commission to establish grades
for the coming season and consider
other matters connected with the in
spection service began in Tacoma yes
terday afternoon and will continue
for several days.
A very important matter, affecting
the interests of the farmer and the
buyer alike came up in the subject Of
dockage The following grain buyers
and millers of Tacoma and Seattle ap-
peared before the commission and
asked it to estab lish such a system t.
obtain where the grain was unreason-
ably foul: John T. Bib, F. Cardin,
Alexander Baltic, Alexander Reed,
H. C. Hall, A. w. Tidmarsh, P. j.
Fransioli, Mr.. Paggett, all Of Tacoma;
Moritz Thompson, a Seattle miller:
Edward Harvey, a grain buyer, of
Seattle; Mr. Pelton. a Seattle miller.
These gentlemen desired that
wherever the grain has foreign sub
stances in it, more than was admitted
by the samples fixed by the state, the
grain inspector should determine the
quantity of the foul matter by selves
and other necessary machinery and
declare in which carloads dockage
shall be made by the buyer in his set
Element with the dealer. Heretofore
if the wheat was No 1 and dirty, it
would be graded mo. l, if cleaned"
and then the buyer charged for the
cleaning and for such loss in weight
as he claimed he found.

who often found wheat locked for

the commission is now considering is
that the state shall determine as be-

THE VALUE OF LEGUMEs.
Extracting Fertilixins Material
From the Air One of Their
Most Valuable Functions.

Natural laws of plant life are very
instructive to the tillers of the soil.
Prof. voorhees,, who is reliable, made
very clear, in some experiments how
cow-peas take nitrogen from the at
mosphere and deposits it in the SOIL
He grew plants in large pots, so that
he could tell exactly what happened
to the SOIL Before the cow-peas were
planted the soil was analysed SO that
the exact amount of nitrogen which
it contained was known. The cow-peas
were grown without any fertilizer, and
and the tops were cut off close to the
soil about as one would in making hay.
After this crop was taken OF the soil
was analysed again and it contained
more nitrogen than it did before the
crop was planted. Let us think what
that means. Here was average soil
which produced a fair crop of cow
peas, and still had more nitrogen left
than before! No one will believe that
the nitrogen climbed into that soil and
lay down, a willing captive! Nitrogen
isn't built that way-it is constantly
trying to escape. and such experiments
prove that the cow-pea is one OF ma
ture's policemen and that he knows
how to arrest the runaway. Ne IN
