crops are recommended: Red clover

On lands adapted to alfalfa it will
undoubtedly prove to be better for
hogs than red clover, inasmuch as it
will produce larger quantity of feed
OF somewhat higher value. Inas-
much as We have not yet learned to
grow alfalfa successfully on the ma
jority of our upland clay soils, we
shall be forced to rely chiefly upon
clover. It starts earlier in the spring
than any hog pasture we have except
ing alfalfa, and would therefore be
used first, and should be used as long
as 1t is succulent and palatable. Usu.
ally not later than the middle of June
the crop will have become so mature
that the hogs will relish a change for
the time being, and the surplus clover
should be cut and removed, so as to
allow the second or fall crop to start
promptly.-Report Missouri State

Cultivation of. Soil.

portant feature connected with the
handling Of soils. Nature has placed
large quantities Of plant food in our
soils, and it depends upon our skill
and knowledge how far we can make
'ise Of and work this mine for the
benefit of our crops. Cultivation is
vital, and the subject is so wide that
one scarcely knows where to begin.
For spring grains try to plow in the
fall. When the furrows are we'll and
evenly set up and, are frozen, and
when the frost comes out, fertilization
takes place and the soil is left in q
nne, granulous condition. Plant food
is liberated and warm seed bed is
formed. When plowing for spring
grain is left until the spring, our
teams are plowing when they should
be surface cultivating, and drilling in
the seed. Every days delay in get
ting In grain after the soil is dry
enough to work means fewer bushels
at threshing time. Soil plowed in
the spring, too. is colder on the sur
face than that plowed in the fall,
which involves slower termination
and vegetation. AS to the proper
depth to plow, it seems to me that is
a question which each farmer must
decide for himself, according to his
own soil, conditions and crop require
ments. If the soil of a given field is
deep, say ten or twelve inches, and
that field were plowed in the fall for
spring grain, would try to plow it
about seven inches deep. But it by
some mischance that field were not
ploWed until the spring. would plow
it lighter, as the deeper the plowing
the colder the surface turned up. II
that field were plowed in the fall for
mangels, l would try for about eight
inches. But if the surface soil of this
field is only six or seven, inches deep,
would try to plow it only five or six
inches deep. In other words, the
depth of the soil, the time of p]owing
and the nature of the crop grown are
all factors in determining how deep
to plow. do not wish to bring any
subsoil to the surface if I can avoid
lt-sgas Sometimes, however, :the surface
soil is SO shallow that some of the
subso1l must necessarily be brought
to the surface in plowing. If l have
deep soil I want to give the roots
OF the plants liberal feeding grounds,
because they will, if allowed, strike
down deeply. AS to the question of
frequency of plowing, it appears to me
that that also depends upOn soils and
circumstances. Heavy, compact soils
require more plowing than lighter
ones::~ Such soils tend to get hard
and bake and become inert, and hence
require the plow to open them and i'm
prove their mechanical condition. The
plow, too, is the surest and quickest
way to destroy many sorts of weeds.
Where the land is clean and the soil
will permit it, surface cultivation with
disc or spring tooth often forms a
better seed-bed than the use of the
plow.-A. w. Peart. ~.,...S,s

of Commissioner Ware resigning were
adopted at a meeting of the U. S.
manned soldiers league.
The association of army nurses of
the civil war elected Mrs. Fanny T.
Hazen, of Cambridge, Mass, president.
Adjutant General Partridge's re-
port showed that the members of the
G. A. r. in good standing on June 80,
1904, numbered 246,261, a net loss
during the year of 1O,249. The loss
by death in 1904 was 9,029, or $50
per cent, as compared with 5,476 in
1890, or 1.33 per cent.
According to proposed legislation
in the national house of representa-

LOREE COMING WEST.
President of Rock Island Making Trip
of Inspection.

A New York dispatch states that L. F.
Ioree, president of the Chicago, Rock Is
land and Pacific railroad, has left New
York to make a special trip of inspection
over the Rock Island lines in Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa and Colorado. Mr.. Loree is
expected to arrive in Topeka tomorrow or
the next day.
Mr.. 1oree says the showing of earnings
of the Rock Island system for the month
of July is likely to be disappointing. The
month started out most satisfactorily,
but later there trouble in some Sec
tions by week of floods and then occur
red the stock yards strike.
These circumstances, in addition to the
fact that the movement of wheat did not
commence as early as usual by week or
more, caused sharp falling off in re-
ceipts This will be offset to some extent.
however, by the reduction in operating
expenses Which is now being effected by
the company Mr.. Loree says that July
always was a bad month for the western
roads He looks for decidedly better
business and earnings from now on.

CHARGE OF ExToRTIoN
Is Made Against Leader OF Buildings
Trade Strike.

New York, Aug. 18.-The most SEN
sational incident in the great building
trade outlook and strike which has
thrown nearly $4,000 workmen into
idleness came when Philip Weinseim-
er, president and organizer of the
building trades alliance, was arrested
on a charge of extortion. When the
labor leader was arraigned he was
confronted by George J. Essig. a plum
Der, who charged that on December
last he paid Weinseimer $1,000 so
that work could be resumed upon an
apartment house on Riverside Drive.
Weinseimer's counsel appeared to be
anxious to have the examination go on
at once. but upon motion of District
Attorney Jerome it was put over until
tomorrow. bail being fixed at $500
and furnished.
In an affidavit Essig states that in
December last he had the contract for
the plumb bling in the Chatsworth build
ing; that weinseimer called a strike
and two days later said that for $2,70O
he would put the plumbers back to
work. Essig said he could not pay tn e
amount in full. but agreed to pay
$1,000 at the time and to give series
of notes for $3.50 each to make up the
balance. He had taken UP all the
notes except one, which was due to-
day, and on the advice of the district
attorney he took marked bills with
which to make the payment.
When Weinseimer was arrested Es-
sig had just signalled to the detectives
that the labor leader had the marked
bills in his possession. The detective
did not find the money on the prison
er, however.
AS the examination began District
Attorney Jerome, somewhat excited,
pushed to the front and called Robert
P. Bell. one of the lawyers, to the
witness stand. Bell had started to
leave the court room.
District Attorney Jerome asked If
he had received any money from any
person in the court room. Bell re-
piled that he had received one one
dollar bill. The district attorney
wanted to know If he had seen any
other money pass in the court room
and the lawyer said that he had not.
He said he was willing to show all
the bills he had, but the other lawyers
objected to this.
81 am asking these questions" said
Mr.. Jerome, because of occurrences
in this court room. I am informed
by lawyer in good standing at the
New York bar that bills were passed
by this defendant to this witness"
The witness denied that he had re-
ceived any money from Weinseimer.

LANDED BIG GAME.
Lawrence Man Kills a Full Grown
Mountain Lion Near Hays City.

Lawrence. Kan, Aug. 1s.-Albert
Glathart has developed a reputation as
hunter He did it in one shot. but
the reputation is substantial and he
has the evidence. Glathart was out at
Hays City last week hunting what
feathered game was loose out there
and the last days hunting Melted him
a real life sized mountain lion.
There were two men with Mr. Glat-
hart, and they were hunting about IL
miles northwest of Hays City. The
bird dog which they were using set
something one day and acted rather
strangely in doing so. His owner
urged him on to flush the game, and
after several bristlings he finally did
so, and the game proved to be the
aforesaid beast.
The men all felt like shooting, and
also like running, but one of the men
plugged a load of bird shot into the
lion and maddened him. He soon
followed it with another. which set
the animal paving the air in the di-
rection of the man who did the shoot
ing. When the enemy was within
about ten feet from the man who
punctured it's hide, Mr.. Glathart fired
a shot that ended the struggle and put
the fierce game on the shelf

NO LONGER INSANE.
Lyon County Farmer Sues for Prop
erty Formerly Owned.

Emporia, Kas., Aug. 1S.-John Ros-
enstock, who was sent to the state
hospital for the insane, several years
ago from this county, has been de-
clared cured and today filed suit in
the district court to recover from his
sons, property which he formerly
owned. The farm in question is an
eighty acre farm near Olpe.
After John Rosenstock was sent to
the hospital his wife brought suit for
divorce and it was granted. Judge
Randolph was then on the bench here.
In distributing the property Judge
Randolph gave the two sons of John
Rosenstock the eighty acre farm in
question. 1t is now claimed that the
two sons were not parties in the case
and hence are not entitled to the farm
given them. 1t is held by the plain
tiff that as the farm was not legally
given to his sons, he should have the
right of reposseSsion. The suit is
brought against Frank Rosenstock and
Barton Winters who, the plaintiff al
leges, hold the farm unlawfUlly.

WILL MAKE NO EXTENSIONS
Frisco and Rock Island Have Decided
to Make No Big Extensions.

New York. Aug. 1S.-The Wall Street
Journal says:
Neither Rock Island nor ST. Louis &
San Francisco has any plan on hand for
big extensions in the near future, in
spite of daily reports from the west.
Both are building small spurs here and
there, where new sources of revenue
are opening, but neither has any cam
paign of building on hand or in pros
pect. Neither Rock Island nor Frisco
will be in the market in the near fu-
ture for money to build extensive new
lines.
Whatever financing is to be done on
Rock Island in this direction will pro-
badly be met out of the proceeds of
the regular annual allowance of the
new refunding As when the securities
find a market. In the meantime the ex-
perience of the past year has taught
the remarkable fact deemed impossible
year ago, that the system can look
out for its immediate wants by the
sale of notes on the same basis as the
notes of Pennsylvania, New York Cen
trail, and Baltimore & Ohio"

were in the city today, their mission
being to work" the Marias des Cygnes
for its pearl deposits They are pro-

large experience. In the last few
years they have dragged the river
Sugar in Wisconsin, the rivers White
and Black in Arkansas and the Yer
degris in Kansas. Their plan is to
commence at the source and cover
the entire length of the stream.
They brought with them a complete
outfit which includes a boat specially
fitted, shell tongs, glasses for exam
lining the mussel, and camp equipage.
Messrs. Depew and Reynders this
morning interviewed Jeweler Upton
and secured much valuable data from
him. They will go imme diately west
to the source of the river and begin
operating.
From what we have heard said
Mr.. Depew to a reporter, I'VE feel en-
couraged in the expectation that your
river is especially rich in valuable
pearls"
