The Sheep Banker

We had just taken a batch of cook
les out of the oven when we heard a
timid knock AMI upon opening the
door beheld the portly form of our
sheep banker. Balancing his cane un-
der his arm he deposited his hat on
top of the cookie jar and sat down on
the door of the baking oven. Rising
at once he moved with great dexter
ity into the front parlor, where he
took a stand under the portrait of
George Washington, which adorns the
wall, and tried to look Indifferent as
well as severe while he made known

liant in his shirt front WED with each

while the bright hued cclorings of
his velvet waistcoat, a legacy from an
aged ancestor, rose and fell with each
respiration and stood out in splendid
contrast with the red roses on the
wall paper, and his checked trousers
smiled defiance as they refused to sit
down for fear of losing their new
creases.
He said he was out for sheep ranch
investments; that he had been in the
banking business since he wore long
pants, but had not been able to keep
his bark off the shoals; that if he
could invest in the sheep business he
believed he would soon exchange the

VALUE OF
SOIL MULCH
BY j. r. Volta, Professor of Agriculture.
Gustavus Adolphus College.

One of the best ways to make and
maintain soil mulch is to keep the
surface layer crumbled, dry and in
rather loose condition. 1t is true, how
ever, that the more dry the surface
layer is the more difficult it is for the
water to climb over it. Undoubtedly
you have noticed that in dry weather,
if you try to mix dust with water, it
will not mix with the dust we'll and
will not take hold of it. This is be-
cause the dust is thoroughly dry.
For example, should you mix well
dried bran or middling into water, you
will find it difficult to mix. This is be-
cause every particle of bran or mid
ding has air in contact with it all,
around and before the water can get
into it, the water must displace that
surface air. So that where we have
a surface layer of dry ground above
the soil, that layer is the best possible
protection for the soil underneath it..
Experience has proved that slight
rainfall on the surface of the ground
tends to make the loss of water more
rapid than before, as it tends to mois-
ten this surface layer and then the
water can get out more easily than be-
fore.
1t seems that the ideal condition for
a field in dry weather is to have it
we'll plowed in the beginning-thor-
oughly crumbed and then the parti-
Giles brought together again either by
cultivation or by rolling In order to
maintain an effective mulch depth
of two or three inches of the surface
soil should be finely crumbed. The
cultivation should be done after every
enough so as not to admit of sticking
to the cultivators
In the early part of the season it is
sometimes desirable to keep the land
loose and light in order that warmth
may be absorbed and moisture evapo-
rated. But If it is thought that evapo-
ration goes on too rapidly, tillage of
the soil should follow the blowing
closely. For farm crops deep mid
summer and fall blowing is recon-
mended--rather shallow in the early
spring; the sub-surface soil is much
colder and more moist than the sur
face soil. Manures and other decay
ing matter should not be turned under
deeply in the spring. If left near the
surface they decay quickly and the
roots of the growing plants are able
to feed upon them early in the season.

thing that borders on.Socialistn.
No intelligent person will &C
cuse Judge Wood of being impair
tial or showing favoritism to either
side during the long trial. His
instructions to the jury. which
thinking people have interpreted
as asking for an acquittal of the
defendant, is a singing slap at
the Socialist organs which have
accused him of being unfair to
the accused.
That the verdict was a surprise
to a number of newspapers, which
had tried and convicted Haywood
weeks in advance of the close of
the trial, is apparent from the
tone of some of the editorials now
appearing in these papers.
While there may be some diff
ference of opinion as to the result
of this trial, the verdict of the jury
has certainly refuted the cry of
the Socialist that a poor man can
not get justice in this country and
that our constitutions are made
only for the rich to use in enforc;
ing laws against the poor.-Bur-

Effect Of Haywood Trial.

made about the Haywood trial.
One class complains because the
case was tried at all, another class
complains on account of the ex,
pense, and some who were willing
to have the case tried, think now
that it was waste of time and
money, because there was no con
viction, but by far the greater
number approve of the trial and
the verdict.
Those who did not want the
case tried showed a weakness and
a disregard for the natural fnnc'
tons of government, while those
who complain of the expense, con-
denim their own position by show
ing that they think more of money
or keeping down expenses than
they do of having a good govern
ment and the protection that gov
ernments are instituted for. Those
who regret the expense of the
trial simply because there was no
conviction, are SO short-sighted,
they lose sight of the real purpose
OF the trial-namely, to jnvestl-
gate things of public interest and
bring out the true state of affairs,
so the public may know.
The nation has watched the
trial, and altho W. d. Haywood
was the storm center; the public
wanted to know what were the
methods used by him as an officer
of the Western Federation OF
Miners, what tempted or pro-
voked him to act, if he did any
wrong, and the puplic wanted to
know whether fair trial could be
had in Idaho, whether working
man would be railroaded to the
gallows on doubtful evidence or be
given the benefit of the doubt and
set free when there was doubt as
to his guilt.
The State of Idaho was there
fore on trial too, and she has won
an enviable distinction. A dis.
tinction which has been heralded
in more homes than anything else
that has ever been published about
the state.
Another thing that will rebound
to our benefit is that the many
press correspondents who came to
Boise to report the trial, have
written a great deal about Idaho
for publication, and it all seems
to be of the complimentary kind,
opening peoples eyes to the state
of civilization and the resources
which impressed the writer's, and
this is the very best advertisement
the state could have. 1t was given
lis free and is still going the
rounds and being eagerly read by
people everywhere. 1t will bring
capital and a good class of citizens
to the state in volume and num-
bers we have not had before, and
while the expense of the trial was
enormous and it is to be regretted
In way, yet we think the real,
broad minded patriotic citizen
looks upon it with the most fore
bearance and will regret it less
and less as the years 60 by.
We copy below some pertinent
observations on the subject

MORE CRIMINAL INTOLERANCE.

a resident of Brigham City informs
The Tribune that a member of the
Mormon church, Charles Fosgrcn. was
communicated from the church there
on Saturday last. because he declared
that he believed the testimony of Jo-
scph +. Smith at Washington TO be
true. and that he disbelieved the state
meut subsequently made by Smith in
the tabernacle.
When the church and the church or
gan desire TO suppress certain informa-
ton which legjtimately belongs to the
Mormon people, they arc able to keep
the membership of the church in igno,
rance for long time. But gradually.
from outside sources, the news spreads
among the saints and they eventually
become aware of what is gong on. 1t
is very likely that Mr.. Fosgrcn has for
a long time been aware of the things to
which his prophet testified in Washing
ton; but he may be defended in his
dcliberation, before making public ex.
preston of his conclusions, on the
ground that his association with the
church has been of long duration. He
was a good and faithful member; his
friends were all connected with the or
ganization; his family were adherents;
he knew no fraternity except that
which comes Of connection with the
church. No man, under these eircum-
stances, can be upbraided because he
does not precipitstely abandon all that
he has held dear in life.
But the case Of Mr. Fosgren is pro-
pbetic of what is to come. Slowly but
surely the members OF the Mormon
church are learning and comprehending
the significance of the Smith utterances
at the National capital. Some Of them

would be n burden on the church. 1t
is much better for these to stay in their
native countries and accept of the he
nevolence Of their ncighbors, who arc
not of the faith of the true and ever
lasting gospel. But if a convert be
able to take care of himself-and adj.
ditionally able TO extend little help
to the prophet, seer, and revelator-a
rope is put around him, 6guratively
speaking, and he comes to Utah, willy
nilly
But what is most reprehensible in
the church organ is The fact that it
denies one of its own articles Of faith,
which reads partially as follows:
We believe in the literal gathering OF
Israel and In the restoration OF the ten
tribes; that Zion VIII be built upon this
cine Americana continent
So il is true, then, that the poor
man cannot enjoy the privileges which
are granted TO the rich or the able in
the Mormon church? No matter how
fervently he may believe the princi-
pies of the gospel-indeed, he may he
