Limo for shaen sorreL

Where sheep sorrel is a nuisance in
hayfields, lining Of the soil is an ef-
fecttve remedy. From experiments
noted by the Department of Agricul-
ture it is believed that the appearance
of sorrel is due to acidity Of the soil.
Lime Neutralizes such acid conditions.
The Rhode Island experiment station
has for some years been experiment
ing with lime applications, in connec-
ton with other fertilizers. In all
cases where tried on grass lands the
lining increased the total yield to a
very marked extent, in many instances
to over three times that of the un-
lined lands, otherwise similar in char
acter. The effect of lining on timothy
and clover fields was highly beneficial.

Limo in Agriculture.

Limo IN A8E1CultuTos
The use of lime on land has not been
largely encouraged by scientists in the
past, though it has been used to a con-
siderable extent in isalated localities.
1T was at first considered from the
standpoint of plant food, and as such
Of course it would not receive a very
enthusiastic support from men that
had found out by various tests that
there was already in the soil more
lime than the plants could use. When
the soils of the various States came
to be examined for acid, it was found
that many of them were so strongly
acid that some Of our most important
plants would not grow on them satis-
factorily. In the soil surveys carried
on during the past three years in Illi-
nois it has been found that one-third
of the soils of the State are SO strongly
acid that they will not grow red clover
and other legumes successfully until
treated with lime. OF the other two
thirds of the State some of the soils
are slightly acid and would be i'm
proved by an application of lime.

any motive power-steam. water. gas,

tits method Of op~-ation have the fol-
lowing explanations:
Connected by pipes with vacuum
continuing-tank is the tube A. The
other end of the tube is connected
with the pulsator g, which rests
upon the cone-shaped pail placed be-
tween the cows. From the pulsator
two rubber tubes BIB branch out right
and left, one to each COW. and each
tube is attached to four rubber cups
G, which are fastened to the cow.
When the vacuum cock is turned on
the pulsator commences to work and
causes the cups to collapse and ex-
pand and thus extract the milk. The
milk on its way to the pail can be
seen passing through a glass trap or
indicator D, which is protected by a
wire cage. The number Of pulsations
per minute can be regulated by screws
which give adjustability to the char

went up the river and took a
saddle and two brides from a
ranch we passed, and camped
that morning on the river oppo-
site the first tunnel. That night
we struck out again toward
Cherry Creek. Nothing of i'm.
portance then occurred until our
capture.
We learn that the men had
camped with Mr.. Griswold, who
is teaming from Wells to Cherry
Greek, on Monday night, and he
recognized their horses by the
descriptions sent out by Con-
stable Mccoy. Not being armed
and seeing that they both car
ried pistols, he directed them to
the Bews ranch, and then fol-
lowed them. There he borrowed
a rifle, and taking the men by
surprise, he forced them to sur
render without resistance.
We also learn that the prison
ers held up and robbed a saloon
in Cherry Creek last Monday
night.
This afternoon they were TAX
Ell before Judge Morgan for their
preliminary examination. But
as all of the evidence had not
been secured, the hearing was

there are two fourteen-horse; three

road, who had been hanging
around the town for several days
taking observations, seeing that
the customers had left Bassi Il
Pietrini' 9 saloon, and that Mr..
Basel was closing up for the
night, knocked at the door for
admission, and when the door
was opened. Bassi was surprised
TO find two revolvers stuck in his
face, followed by a demand to
dig up.
The sum of thirty-tive dollars
was taken from the cash drawer,
but much larger sum in cur.
rency was overlooked.
That general hold up of
the town was planned is evil
denced by the fact that while one
of the men remained with Mr..
Bassi, the other made frequent
trips to the other saloons, but
his courage evidently failed him.
After extinguishing the lights in

Sheriff Clark returned yester-

men arrested by w. S. Griswold
Is miles south of that place at
the Bews ranch. When arrested
the men still had in their posses
sion thelhorses and saddles stolen
from Mr.. Tomari and Mr.. Fer,
nald. They have made full
confession of the stealing and
speak freely Of their movements
since the night of the robbery,
but will say nothing as to where
they belong or where they were
trying to go.
= In taking their description last
evening after their confinement
in the county Jail. it was found
that the two men, who give their
names as H. T. Thomas and Ed.
Armstrong, bear a close re-
sembance to the notorious Gates
brothers, who on the night of
March 31st, blew up and robbed
an express car and killed Ex-
press Messenger William O'Neil,
and who are charged with many
other depredations both in Cali
fornia and Oregon. From pho
tographs and descriptions of the
Gates brothers on file in the
Sheriff $ Office, Sheriff Clark and
many others who have seen the
prisoners, have no hesitancy in
expressing their full belief that
the prisoners are the much want
ed Alameda criminals. The
strongest marks of Identification
are found on the man believed to
be George Gates, alias Ed. Arm
strong, which are gun shot
wounds on his left arm and left
nip, and which tally exactly with
description. The one believed
TO be Vernon closely resembles
the photograph of the younger
OF the Gates brothers, but is dark
complexioned instead of light, as
described. Mr.. Foust, however,
who is a barber, and who shaved
nm today, says his hair is dyed.
The fact, too, that detectives
working on the case have be-
lleved the Gates brothers to have
been iff Nevada for the past two
weeks makes the supposition
stronger.
