HORROR STRICKEN AT SEIZURE

Officers Give offense to Finer Sensi-
biIlties of Drug Store Man From
the Lone Star State, Where "Blind
Pigs" Are Not Tabooed

w. p. Covlland discovered yesterday
that to conduct drug store in Texas
is one thing and to conduct one in Los
Angeles is entirely q different PROPOSE
ton.
In Dallas, where Covilland had been
the proprietor of an apothecary shop,
help considerably toward paying the
rent.
The police had been watching the
place, Thirty eighth and Maple avenue.
since it's opening and yesterday they
obtained what they claim is positive
proof that Covilland was selling liquor
without license The drug store was
raided with the result that much con-
traband liquor was found.
Covilland was horror stricken at the
calm manner with which the officers
confiscated his stock of joy giver.
The druggist said, 'What in thunder
is a drug store for any way? If I
want to sell a little good whisky in the
back room of my store can't 1? And
if not, why not? You say there is an
ordinance against it. Well, am 1 sup
posed to know all the fool ordinances
that a jay town has, huh? I am going
back to Texas, that is the only place for
a gentleman, any way. The idea of put
ting me in Jail just because / supplied
my friends with one of the necessities
of life. Outrageousl I shall appeal to
the governor of this state"
A large quantity of whisky and wine
was confiscated by the arresting Off
GERS. Covilland will be tried today on
the charge of conducting a blind pig.

As the result of free-for-all fight at Avondale Saturday night, Special ofneer Bobinett was badly bruised when he ap- peared in police court yesterday to tes- tify against Richard Smith, his father John s. Smith, and brother, James A. Smith.

 After various stories of the fight were related to Judge Feagin, he fined Richard Smith s25 for the original offense which brought about the arrest, and an addi- tional s25 for resisting an officer. The boys father was fined s10O for the part he played in interfering with an officer. and the brother was fined the same amount.
 It Is said Will Smith was shot In the leg during the melee, but this was not verified, as the man was not in court According to Special Officer Bobinett, who Is stationed at the Avondale cotton mill, the arrest of Richard Smith was made because complaint had reached him that Smith was creating a disturbance among the mill hands.

IN THE GARDEN

In flower gardening on a small scale
the best results are obtained by at
tempting only a few varieties.
In small places all planting should
be done so as not to crowd or reduce
in any way the size Of the lawn space.
Avoid planting anything in the center
Of the lawn. This always foreshortens
the distance.
Cultivate the garden once a week or
oftener in dry weather to the depth OF
not more than an inch.
A good way to get rid of dandelions
in lawns is to cultivate in the family
a proper respect for dandelion salad.
Wheel hose and hand cultivators will
be found useful in the small garden.
AS soon as you have harvested a
row Of any crop or even a considerable
portion Of one put something into the
place at once. "Green things growing
all the time" should be the garden
motto.
The good garden furnishes for the
table food Of medicinal and tonic vir-
tues. put up in natures free laboratory
and worthy Of all the praise so freely
showered upon proprietary medicines.
Intelligence and diligence mean sue
cess in gardening. and II happy for
tune adds to their natural aptitude the
gardener will travel a smooth and
pleasant road.
The rapid development Of weeds In
May is very deceptive TO the amateur
in gardening. A crop Of onions, beets,
parsnips or other vegetable may APP
pear to be easily manageable, but with
a few days OF rain the crop that could
have been easily cultivated on, say,
the 18th. is terribly overgrown by the
25th.

CORN PLANTING.
Proper Depth In Various sofls-Fn
View OF Drought.

View OF Drought.
BY c. p. HARTLEY
The proper depth TO plant corn must
be governed by the quality and mols-
ture OF the soil. If 1t Is a stiff, heavy
clay, containing plenty Of moisture at
planting time, an inch is sufficiently
deep, but If It is a light, open, dry soil
three or four inches is a satisfactory
depth II the corn is planted deeper
than four inches much Of the food sup
ply stored in the seed will be CON
sumed before the young plant can
reach the surface and expand Its leaves.
Plants cannot be made to send their
roots deeply into the soil by planting
the seed deeply. They can better be
fortified against dry weather by plant
ing the seed IN a furrow. covering it
slightly and then gradually cultlvating
the furrow full Of soil as the plants
grow.
This requires some care, however, as
the furrow should not be filed to any
great depth until the plants have at
tained a height Of a foot or more and
are in a vigorous condition. This meth
Cd Of planting is especially adapted to
deep soils, where dry weather is likely
to prevail during the middle or latter
part OF the growing season.

winter and moderate cost and we have
one Of the most logical building ma
terials in present day use.
Concrete is not expensive when COM
pared with other materials of con-
struction, such as stone, brick and
wood. To be sure, the initial cost Of
wood is less than that Of concrete, but
when we consider the life and quality
of the finished product concrete is east
ly the cheaper, and, OF course, concrete
is much cheaper than either stone or
brick.
Experience both In practical work
and In the laboratory has proved be-
yOnd a doubt that the best brands Of
cement, as in all other goods, are the
cheapest in the end and should be in
sisted upon by all prospective pur-
chasers.
Concrete when FIRST mixed Is such a
mobile substance that it is readily
nodded to any desired shape OF form;
hence its great utility in constructing
the varied appurtenances OF the mod
ern farm. Consider, for instance, the
many uses TO which concrete may be

GRAIN Rust.
Drainage and Clean Cultivation as
Preventives.

Drainage and Clean Cultivation as
Preventives.
Probably in all cases where it is sup
posed that differences in the compost
tlon OF the soil have some relation to
, the occurrence of grain rust the real
cause for variation in this respect is
the relative quantity Of water in the
coil. A poor soil viii nearly always be
3 oomewhat elevated, and a rich soil low
lying, as naturally the richer material
I Of the soil viii be washed to lower
elevations. AT the same time and for
che same reason there will be more wa
ter IN lower, fertile soils than in the
poorer soils.
The more succulent and watery the
plant becomes from the great quantity
OF water in the soil the more rapidly
the rust win grow in the plant. and
this is, therefore. the reason why more
rust occurs in the fertile lower lying
coils. 1t is evident that in grain grown
en- waterlogged soils there win be
much more rust than elsewhere and
that thorough drainage win tend to
lessen the amount Of rust.
On plants grown in heavily manured
ground it is not directly the amount OF
= litrogenous material thus furnished to
he plant that is the cause OF more rust
out the fact that such plants are also
hus enabled to absorb more moisture
s Ind always are more rank in growth
md have softer straw.
q 1t will follow that plenty OF sunlight

ure and therefore TO some extent will

1ncren.InE the Conn VOID.

II this years plans for Increasing the
corn crop Of the corn belt OF the middle
west succeed corn is going to be a fit
subject for a conspiracy to limit pro-
duction, after the fashion Of the new
cotton movement in the south. Two
billion bushels, or thereabout, is a fair
corn crop. and the country can absorb
It conveniently, but If an extra billion
of bushels should be produced in 1905
the price would fall of in a startling
fashion. A drop Of 33 per cent in corn
prices would mean much cheaper
meats and also cheaper WHISTLES.
And all these things are already pre-
dicted freely by western grain experts,
for the western farmer Is determined
to raise corn scientifically hereafter.
He is going to get the worth Of his
labor and his land.
The general expectSeA9n Is that
cheaper meats will be the most i'm
mediate effect. The weather. of course.
will be a leading factor, but with aver
age conditions II is safe 20 expect a
record breaking crop by half million
bushels the coming autumn. - Ex-
