There are more ways of catching
birds than by putting salt on their
tails One of the oldest and at the
same time most successful is the use
of a lime smeared paper bag used for
capturing pheasants- The slender
conical shaped bag is fastened to a
twig after the coating of lime has
been put on the inside and few peas
are dropped in for bait Attracted by
the peas, Mr.. Pheasant thrusts his
head into the mouth of the trap and,
presto! he cannot withdraw it, so
must walk around thus decorated un-
til finally he drops dead from suffoca-
ton.

After e minute or two the pace had

chauffeur seemed able to steer with
ease.
Just as she was going to- ask him if
he could not turn back and find the
others the car gave a sudden -swerve
and pulled up-inside the gates of
Ranelagh.
The chauffeur calmly got down and
handed her out. Taking off his cap
and mask he cody remarked:
II gave you due warning that Daven-
try SHOULD not drive you down here to-
day."
"Bob!" she exclaimed. Then, sud-
denly remembering how indignant she
ought to be, she turned to him. How
dare you! This is nothing more nor
less than a gross piece Of i~mpertinence.

OLD FASHIONED SYRUP BOILING.

I syrup and sugar. While the demand
for both these commodities has CON
stantly increased, the output from
maple trees has decreased during the
last twenty years. The trade has been
supplied only by radically adulterating
the pure goods, or by manufacturing n
product entirely from foreign materials.
1t is conservatively estimated thai
seven-eighthS of what is sold as maple
syrup and sugar is a spurious article.
The fault does not lie with the pro-
ducers, those who tap the trees and re-
duce the sap to syrup and sugar, but
with the dealers, and sO-called reflners.
who buy the real article and mix and
adulterate 1t in ways most proftably
for themselves. The most common sub
stitutes used in the adulteration are
other sugars and glucose with flavor
ings of vanilla or extracts from corn
cobs and stalks. Formerly there was
a good deal of maple sugar produced in
the South, but now Vermont, New
York and Ohio are the largest pro-
ducers. Attempts have been made in
the West to produce sugar from sor-
ghum cane, but the syrup can not be
successfully granulated, and so far the
manufacture has been limited to the
making Of molasses for local use.

acre as syrup, and the latter could be
made still more profitable by replacing
Its manufacture by the usual crude
methods with the improved mill, after
the style of the creamery and custom
houring mill in the North.
The farm mill with insufficient ap-
paratus gets hardly more than half the
juice, and still the farmer realizes from
$I5 to $50 an acre, double the amount
cotton brings.
To set the pace for the Southern
syrup maker, the Department of Agri-
culture has established an experimental
mill at Waycross, Ca, where a syrup
of high market quality and uniform
color and grade is being manufactured.
DR.. Wiley favors the dark colored
syrup for the reason that it contains
more caramel and flavor than the light
varieties. Artificial makes of syrup
are usually light and while perhaps
not Injurious, they lack the flavor and
tone of the real article.
Diversity is making gains in the
agricultural methods of the South as it
Is in the North and West, and when
this improved system becomes an es-
tablished fact in our Southern States
a prosperity unknown since early days
will TAX hold of the country.
Experiments are being made in va
rious parts of the South to utilize the
, 1905-10-12

bagasse, or waste, from cane mills,
using it as an absorbent to make the
molasses available as dry stock feed.
Commenting on these experiments the
Agricultural Department recently pre-
dicted that the time will come when
the manufacture of stock feeds contain
ing molasses will be a great industry.
The belief is expressed that the sugar
cane world will find in molasses feed for
live stock a by-product of sugar manu-
facture as essential to its success as
is the feeding of cattle and horses to
the manufacturing distilleries in the
Northwest. One of the large sugar re-
fineries in Brooklyn, N. y. has been mix
ing molasses with the feed for it's truck
horses, and finds it not only successful
but also about % per cent. cheaper
than oats and hay. When properly pre-
pared, the %molascuit, as the bagasse
compound has been termed, carries
with it an acceptable flavor to stock
and it has the additional value of i'm
proving the favor of any other food
with which it is mixed.
The maple tree now furnishes but a
small per cent. of the commercial maple
, 1905-10-12

stock exported does not represent e
half the value Of the sugar brought in
every year from foreign lands.
Our Southern States alone could pro-
duce all our sugar, to say nothing of
the sugar possible from beets in the
North and West. The sugar from the
beet crop of 1904 amounted to 200, 722
tons or $4,000 tons less than the cane
sugar produced in Louisiana alone. Ex-
tend the sugar product as a diversified
crop to other Southern States and we
have achieved n more agricultural
triumph.
DR.. II. w. Wiley, Chemist of the De-
partment of Agriculture, who has ex-
h~austively Investigated the sugar and
syrup possibilities of the Southern
States, says that the people of this
country are ~singularly i'll informed con-
corning the household value of a pure
article Of cane syrup; he always keeps

Sugar is the only important farm

it can be profitably produced here from
both cane and beets. We use more than
100000 tons of sugar annually, or
one-fifth of the entire product of the

about one-third.
1t is estimated by the Department of
Agriculture that not less than 100000

NOTED MURDER
CASE ON TRIAL
Charles Tucker Before Court
in Massachusetts,, Accused
of Taking Woman's Life

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 2.-Charles
the Middlesex County Court to-day to
answer 10 the charge of numbering
Miss Mabel Page at Weston, Mass, on
March 81 1904
The jury was completed without
great difficulty, and the indictment
was read. Counsel for the defense sug-
gested the wisdom of the jury visit
ing the scene of the crime. On this
point the defendant himself said to the
court:
Your Honor and gentlemen of the
jury / should like to have the jury take
a view of the premises, but / should
not like to be present"
The evidence against the defendant
has been carefully concealed by the
State representatives. 1t is known,
however. that one of the most impor-
tant features will be a penciled note
bearing the name of Miss Page, and
written, it is claimed, to furnish the
writer with a pretext for gaining en-
trance to the Page home. The State
will present four handwriting experts
to connect Tucker with the note. The
defense also will present four experts
for it's side.
Few murders anywhere have attract
ed wider attention. Miss Page, who
was 40 years OF age, was killed while
alone at home. Her father, Edward
Page, a former steel merchant, re-
turning from Boston early in the after
noon, found the body lying in her
chamber. Cuts in the throat were
taken to indicate suicide and the medi-
cal examination so resulted, but the
next day an undertaken discovered
that Miss Page had been stabbed in
the back and the fact murder had been
done was established.
For weeks the whole police machin-
cry of the State and Of the cities near
Weston was at work on the mystery.
At length Charles l.. Tucker was ar
rested on suspicion, but after an ex-
animation was released, an alibi ap-
parently having been established. A
week later, however, he was again ar
rested and subsequently was indicted
for the murder.

This is all land of the richest quail

district.
Water has been already turned into

WATER is SUFFICIENT.
ITO him who does not find a canal
ready to deliver water to his land or
who wishes to be complete master of
the source OF his supply, the water be-
meath the soil is an easy solution of the
problem of irrigation. There are sew
eral well-defined strata of water bear

valley lands.
Irrigation in Glenn County is no
experiment, as water has been success
fully applied to the soil in the northern
part of the county for many years.
AS an illustration it may be well to
mention a little Glenn County irrigated
farm of but one acre, which has re-
Gently become as famous as the Glenn

This is the farm of the late S. G.
Cleek. On the one acre Mr.. Cleek
comfortably supported himself and

STATE RIVERS
CLAIM NOTICE
Needham Takes Up Question
of improvement With the
Congressional Committee
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Representa-
tive Needham to-day had an interview
with Chairman Burton of the Rivers
and Harbors Committee concerning
the Sacramento River and an appro-
priation for its improvement. Burton
first of all expressed a desire to see
the report of the State commission and
the recommendations IL makes. The
committee has taken no action In this
matter nor is it likely to until this
report is laid before it.
While Congress is in no way bound
by the action or recommendation of a
State commission, the Rivers and
Harbors Committee wants the fullest
and best information obtainable upon
matters within it's jurisdiction and pre-
sumes that such is contained in this
report. Needham, at Burton's re-
quest, has wired Governor Pardee to
forward a copy of the report at all
speed.
Needham will introduce a joint reso-
luton providing that the work of the
State commission be reviewed by the
War Department. This is with the
hope of its possible acceptance by that
department, thus effecting a saving of
time and expense in coming to some
agreement between the National and
State governments for sharing the cost
and labor for a comprehensive and
satisfactory improvement of the river
and it's tributaries.

WEIGHS FAULTS
OF The CRITICS
Rev. Boardman Says They
Fail to Place Themselves
in a Spiritual Condition
REVIVAL IN EVANGELISM
Ministers Learn of Work
to Be Done in California
During the Ensuing Year

Mad rush for the accumulation o,
money has resulted in a disregard for
4 spiritual matters said the Rev. H. L
/ Boardman at a meeting of the Baptist
Ministers Association yesterday. He
was discussing 1.-The Moral Requisite
4 for the Discernment of Spiritual
/ Truth" and he felt that men in these
times measure things by material
standards, with the result that spirit
ual truth is not attainable in the whirl
/ of speculative interest.
J He considered that apprehension of
/! truth is as conditional as any other
/ knowledge that is obtained. and said
that purely intellectual opinions may
chill the heart and are the basis of
average skepticism, and that spiritual
truth is the essence of unselfshness.
The speaker said that in the pulpit
there is temptation to compromise
the truth in order to. meet more readily
the people. AT the same time he con-
sidered that while the minister was
right to use art to make converts and
to- do the best possible, even to make
use of the sensational" he must never
compromise the truth"
The fault with critics, he held, was
that they failed to place themselves in
a spiritual condition." and he declared
that no man can set that condition
aside and successfully criticize the
Scriptures.
Rev. Robert Whitaker pastor of the
wenty-third-avenue Baptist Church,
Oakland, told the meeting that his con-
gregation contributed $500 on New
Years day toward lifting the debt. The
handsome Offering now left them with
only $4,000 to pay, which amount Mr..
Whitaker felt would be forthcoming
during the year.
1t was announced that the Rev. H.
A. Slaughter of Los Angeles had been
appointed city evangelist by the Bap-
tist City Missionary Society. The Rev.
Madison Slaughter will enter the evan
gelistic field in California. His home
will be at Fruitvale.
DR.. C. M. Hill, president of the re-
Gently established Baptist Seminary,
said that a building had been pur-
chased on Dwight Way, Berkeley, for
the seminary headquarters at a cost of
$6550, sum considered to be very mod
crate. Next Sunday will be Seminary
Sunday when the interests of the new
institution will be presented to the
whole Of the Baptist congregations.
Wilbur Chapman, evangelist, is ex-
pected to arrive in San Francisco thei
beginning of March, when no less than
thirty churches will combine in strong
evangelical movement.
At the West Side Christian Church,
Bush street, near Devisadero, to-mor-
row evening there will be a meeting of
much Importance to the body. when the
roll call of the churches will be called
and reports of the year will be read
from all the organizations connected
with the Christian church. 1t is possi-
BILE that some interesting news as to
the progress of the forthcoming con-
vention will be told the assembled rep
resentatives of the church.
