HEAR SUIT BROUGHT BY FORM.
Err KINGS ILLEGlTIMATE SONS

Madrid, May 31.--The suit brought
against King Alfonso by his two half
brothers, the sons of Elena SAM, a
Bohemian opera singer, will be tried
by the supreme court of Spain.
Announcement was made yesterday
that the supreme court had declared
itself competent to try the case, which
the civil courts had refused to han
die, and which crown lawyers tried
in vain to have settled without pub
licity.
The effect of the high courts deci-
sion will be to lay bare to Spain and
the world the life led by Alfonso XII,
father Of the present king and of the
Bohemian singers sons The story
to be revealed in court is not one that
will add luster to the memory of Al
fonso XII and may be counted upon
to shock Queen Victoria, who has lit
tie knowledge of the skeletons in
Spain's royal closets.

-onTY YEARS OF
DRY FARMING
George Farrell Of Cache County,
Utah, .clls How He Mace Sue
cess of New Method

George l.. Farrell of Smithfield,
Cache county, Utah, the appointee of
Governor Cutler as the delegate to the
Dry Farming congress, is in better
position to prove that dry farming is
success than any other attendant at
the convention, says the Denver Post
For forty-onc years Mr.. Farrell has
labored with the soil Of 100 acres
with nothing theoretical or visionary
about his work. He simply abored
long and hard, and demonstrated years
before the scientists came into the
limelight that dry farming would pay.
He also demonstrated that it would
continne to do so indefinitely
Mr.. Farrell settled on LOO acrec
in Utah and paid $1.25 an acre for
it. The land is now worth $3.50 600.
and the profits each year net $4,000
There IS not a drop of water on foot
OF the ground, and his experience is
the more valuable and his story the
more reliable because of the fact that
he has no land to sell.
Mr.. Farrell describes his methods
as follows:
81 plow ten inches deep aft break
ing the land, and then l usually have
SIX inches Of sub-so:l. + use horses
and disc plews altogether. With a
four-gang disc and coght hors.s | can
plow from eight oten acres per day,
in a strip half mile ong. The fall
plowing is done on the stubble land,
after tie stubble is allowed to grow
about two feet high. In the fall tha.
is turned under, and in this way gets
all of the winters precipitation, the
srow. ran and frost.
81 leave the rough blowing until
the spring, and just as soon as it is
dry enough to work / put on the disc
l use different sort of disc than
many of the western farmers. 1t is
manufactured in Logan City, Utah.
and is known as the six-gang disc.
1t throws the dirt all one way, leav
iEg 70 space for weeds to grow.
"The boy with six horses puts tho
harrow on and continues to harrow
lengthwise and crosswise through the
season fer the purpose of killing
the weeds ard rulverizing the SOL, as
wei as concerning all the moisture
possible.
About the first of September each
ycG- | put on the levcler and level the
earth, the drill in the meantime being
run in front and the seed drilled into
the gr und We cow wheat at the rate
OF 80 or 40 pounds to the acre, and let
it get the next winters precipitation,
and IN the spring, when it is two inch
es high take the harrows and tie the
teeth backward at an angle of about
30 degrees, so as not to tear up the
soil. This method freaks the crust
and puiverizes the soil. and if there
are weeds it will kill them.. We gen.
orally harrow it both ways. IT gives
fresh life and vigor to the grain. We
then leave it till harvest time.
BY the methods / have described
/ average 80 to 45 bushels of wheat
to the acre, so to 90 bushels of barley.
three to three and onc-half tons of
millct, and have plenty of good pas
tnre for my cattle. / have between
1.300 and 1,400 acres in cultivation
