coIored Man Loses Case.

The state supreme court has re-
versed the judgment for $500 recov-
cred by Lewis A. Chase, colored,
against Rudolph Knabel, a Tacoma res
taranteur. Chase sued for damages
for being thrown out of a restaurant
and for denial of civil rights. The
court holds he had eaten at the restau-
rant for IA years and there is no proof
of denial of any civil rights; that he
was Ousted by walters because they
believed he was annoying or insult
ing a woman customer. The court
says a restaurant has a right to eject
any person who annoys or insults a
customer.

SOCIALISTS stNoAY SCHOOL
Their catechism in England Teaches
Peculiar Doctrines.


London-The socialist Sunday
schools continue to prosper, and some
of the members of the liberal govern
ment are trying to plan way to put
an end to these Sunday schools as
they are present constituted without
interfering with the traditional British
right of free speech.
Here are some extracts from the
socialist Sunday school catechism:
How many classes are there? Two.
Aristocrat and working people.
Who are the aristocrats? Those
who enjoy wealth without working for
it.
Who are the workers? Men who
work for wages and receive only a
portion of what they earn, the other
part going to keep the idle classes.
Who owns the factories and ware
houses? The rich capitalist class, who
will not employ men unless they can
make a profit.
What is the consequence? That men
able and willing to work for food
can not get food for their wives and
children.
Do men and women die of hunger
in England? Yes, in the midst OF
plenty.
Do the savages starve in the midst
OF plenty? No; when there is plenty
of food they all rejoice and feast and
make merry.

Two-cENT PASSENGER RATES.
Railroad Heads Believed to Have
Reached Binding Agreement.
Inter Ocean saws:

The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
Passenger rates on all roads of the
United States will be reduced to ,
cents a mile. The lowering of the price
and the complete abolition of the old
Scent rate will begin on July l. This
was the decision reached in Chicago
after a long anG neated discussion by
the leading presidents of all the west
ern and transcontinental roads. 1t was
not a formal agreement, but is equally
binding, for two large roads doing a
transcontinental business are said to
have served an ultimatum to others
that they would put the rate in effect
Immediately. Following the meeting
of the officials of the roads several adj
mitted that they had been forced to
bow to public opinion and anti-railroad
legislation. They said that no further
fight would be made on the 2-cent law
already passed and that the roads
would accept the inevitable.

DEATH, TO GRAIN SQUIRRELS.
Smother Them With Dynamite in the
Dens.


Cut off a small piece of explosive
from the stick, say about two or three
inches long. This piece is hastily
lighted with a match and thrown as
far down as possible into the hole,
the entrance of which is quickly filled
up. If there are several holes a few
feet or yards away these are watched
closely and closed up with dirt as
soon as smoke begins coming out.
After the smoke and gas is effectually
confined to the holes no more atten-
ton is necessary.
The squirrels are asphyxiated in an
instant, so deadly is the gas; nor will
any other squirrels burrow into the
holes. In holes thus treated seven or
eight years ago none have ever been
opened by other squirrels

NOTES OF ORCHARD WORK.

dressing Of wood ashes around
the fruit trees and grape vines is a
benefit. 1t supplies the loss of the
alkalies which are largely consumed
by fruit, destroys the acidity in the
soil and tends to sweeten all kinds of
fruit.
Bones, old leather. refuse plaster
and soap suds all constitute good fer
tili1er for the fruit trees.
Bones appear to be the best of all
to promote permanent growth and
vigor in tree.
A handful of bone dust mixed with
the soil at the roots of tree or grape
vine will show its beneficial effects for
a number of years.
When grapes or berries are too ten
der and will, not stand up in first-class
condition to pick and market, it shows
that the soil on which they grow is
deficient In potash.
The custom Of summer pruning OF
young trees, SO as to ripen the fruit
early. is not approved by the most
skillful fruit growers, and is only al
lowable when the intention is to throw
the whole force Of the sap into those
particular branches that it is desired
to train in some particular direction.
No fruit ripens as we'll nor has sc
fine a favor when the foliage is in
jured by summer pruning. This fact
is observable in our apple, peach and
pear orchards when the worms have
consumed the leaves on a limb. You
will always find the fruit on such 8
branch of poor quality and inferior
flavor.
The leaves are the lungs of a plant
and are required to perform an i'm.

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

In finishing fall pigs ground wheat
seems an expensive feed, but it will
pay when mixed with corn meal.
Shelled corn will be fed more eco
nomically If placed in trough in
stead of on the ground. OF course, a
hungry pig will dig most of the grains
out of the dirt, but he will eat great
deal Of the latter in the process and
that is not fattening.
The cold wet rains of the past spring
! have been very hard on young pigs,
and the man who had provided dry
quarters for his youngsters had oc-
casion to congratulate himself.
There is nothing better than turnips
for the brood sow just before farrow-
ing time.
1t is good plan to rake up all OF
the corn cobs in the feed lot at least
once week and burn them. The pigs
will take care of the charcoal and it Is
just what they need.
There are men travelling around the

sure cure. We do not believe tina

Of the TAIL Of a cart will improve
grass; and although there Is a great
deal of truth in this remark, yet a
little knowledge of what the pasture
really requires will help considerably
towards improving it at low cost
Newly sown down grasses nearly al
ways require the addition of nitrogen
to stimulate their growth. both above
and below ground. There is not the
slightest doubt that the best form in
which this can be supplied is as a
dressing of farmyard manure. but
where this is not available, 1t Is as
tonishing what can be done with one
cwt. or one and one-half cwt. of nj
rate of soda. or one cwt. of sulphate
of ammonia per acre. provided the
field is grazed and not mown.
1t would be we'll, however, when
encouraging the grass by means Of
nitrate of soda or sulphate Of am
non;a, to make sure that there Is an
abundance Of mineral matter present
n the soil and TO add at the same
me a small dressing Of phosphate,
,ithef in the form Of superphosphate
II basic Stag.
On older pastures it is usually phos-
nhete they require more than any
hing else. Many years of grazing
nave added to the soil considera BILE
f,nount of nitrogen in the form of
droppings, decayed roots and leaves.
but as the animals grazing there have
been constantly manufacturing bones
from the phosphates of the heritage
The supply of 1t is apt to run short
A sure sign of a deficiency of phos-
pilates is the absence or inconspicu-
BUSINESS of clover plaIts. On heavy
land, where the clover is deficient in
quantity. a dressing of from five to
ten cwt. of basic Stag applied not later
than the end of February is usually
sufficient to bring about marked i'm
provement.
On light lands it Is advisable to give
the phosphates in the form of super
phosphate, and to add two cwt. OF
kainit to supply potash, which is often
deficient in sandy soils.
In cases where both the clovers and
the grasses make poor growth COM
plete manure should be given by add
ing dressing of farmyard manure, OF
one cwt. of nitrate of soda or sulphate
of ammonia per acre. It must be
very ISIIleHlboTou, however
that if the Improvement effected BY
these manures is to be permanent, the
field must be grazed and not mown.
There is another class of grass LAND
that often requires improvement. This
IS rather low-lying, sour ground thai
grows an abundance Of coarse herb.
ace, often containing great deal OF
sorrel and hardheads. Such LAND
usually requires the addition Of lime
although 1t may also respond to basic
Stag or other phosphate manures.
1t certainly does not pay to manur.
land of this sort with farmyard ma
nure. unless 1t has first been vel
dressed with lime or basic Stag.
In all other cases there is no doub
whatever that farmyard manure Is tn,
most useful manure for grass, es
pecially when supplemented with al
occasional dressing of phosphate.

COVER CROPS FOR BUSH FRUITS
(By M. N. Edgerton.)

(byG NJ. IN. tQH0TlCu.) SO II
The benefits of cover crop in bush
fruit culture are manifold. First, we
shall consider the question Of saving
soil fertility.
During the latter part of the season
loush fruits do not draw upon the plant
food In the soil to any great extent, as
there must be an escape of nitrates
that are constantly being formed there
as is the case where ground Is unpro-
tected by some growing crop or dead
dry material.
The large part Of these nitrates are
taken up by the growing plants COM
prising the cover crop and held for
the use of subsequent berry crops.
This fertility again becomes avail
able as their constituent parts are
broken up and passes through
natures process of using existing mat
ter over and over again.
Then. too, there is the question OF
maintaining the supply of organic
matter in the soil. This Is accom-
plished through the decomposition OF
the woody fiber composing the roots
and tops of the cover crop plants as
they are mixed with the soil during
the process of subsequent tillage.
We may thus maintain and ever in
crease the supply of organic matter
already contained in the soil. We
must consider also the matter of rip
ening the growth of canes. As is the
case with tree fruits. bush fruits un-
der normal conditions form fruit buds
on the present seasons growth OF
wood which buds mature and ripen
during the fall months.
1t sometimes happens that super
abundance of moisture at this season
of the year causes a late growth of the
canes which being unripened and ten
der is frozen dead during the winter
This abnormal and undesirable con-
ditton may be prevented in some meas.
ure at least by the growing Of the
cover crop, which uses up much Of
this superfluous moisture.
Again, a rank growth of oats OF
peas will protect the ground from
washing, which in the case of lands
that are more or less rolling very of.

canes creates picture very pleasing
to the eye. This fact adds materially
