from Spain, and the only place these
horses can be found now In any num-
bers is in the imperial stud of Aus
tria. Another breed of horses as dis
tinct in Spain for 5000 years as the
Arab and Barb have been in their
own country are those of Andalusia.
They are not, as has sometimes been
believed, made up of a crossing of va
rious breeds of Arabs and Barbs and
other horses, but are the pure native
breed of Spain known and preserved
with all it's present qualities and with
out any changes for more than 5000
years. Still another breed in Spain is
Just as distinct and has been known
equally long, and this is the horse of
Navarro. These horses are slightly
smaller than the Andalusian, but are
swifter and of amending endurance
They range in height from IL to 14.2
hands or 143; splendid feet and legs,
with the courage of lions and with I'M
limited endurance. They are the
horses used by the army in olden times
\ for all rough work and formed the
early Spanish cavalry brought to Amer
lea by Cortez and Coronado. This was
the stock from which our mustang
sprang, the progeny of which we see
today in the brOncho.

sTock.GRoWING RECOMMENDED.
In a recent address on Diversity
ing the Agriculture of the Pacific
Northwest" Prof George S. Severance
of the Washington State College said:
The main purpose of summer-fal-
lowing should be to clear the soil OF
weeds, conserve moisture and improve
the physical condition of the soil
through tillage.
Losing the use of this land while 1t
is in a state of unoccupied summer-fal-
low is certainly poor economy, as 1t
represents idle capital. And 1t should
not be forgotten that utilization or
the summer-fallow by cultivated crops
will permit the keeping of considerable
livestock, and will result in a. better
utilization of the teams, and tools,
throughout the season, as we'll as a
more constant employment OF LABOR.
A distribution of labor throughout the
season would ultimately insure more
intelligent and reliable class OF help,
and lower unit cost of production.
More Livestock.
Making use of the summer-fallOW
for the growing of cultivated crops
will mean the introduction OF more
livestock, and to the extent that such
introduction is necessary for the using
I'D of such crops, it is extremely de-
sirable. The introduction OF live
stock. however, necessitates such ar
rangement of crops as to keep the
stock in good feed throughout the
season. Regarding this arrangement,
| have the following to say:
In former discussion it was sug-
gested by me that keeping land in al
falfa one-fifth of the time would renew
the nitrogen and humus supply OF the
soil. This was for 32O-acre field, SO
at one time there would be 90 acres
of alfalfa. The alfalfa could be dl-
vided equally between hay and pas
ture. | should judge 1t would produce
from so to 60 tons of alfalfa in all,
besides considerable pasture. Ii the
farmer wishes to keep cattle, the hay
may be used to furnish part OF the
winter roughage for 25 head of cows,
and as much young stock as would
naturally be raised in connection. Inc
young stock would be able to use up
considerable of the straw that In most
cases goes to waste.
During the spring, when alfal1a
grows rapidly, 80 acres would furnish
good pasture for the cattle. On SUCH
a farm, as now managed, there would
be 100 acres or more of summer-fal-
low. If 80 acres of this were seeded
to peas. they would furnish feed for
the cattle in July and August. Peas
make a good summer-fallOw crop. AL
though they are not cultivated crop,
they are nitrogen gatherers, and have
a very beneficial effect upon the soil.
Forty acres of the remaining summer
fallow could be planted to corn, part
of which should be put into the silo to
furnish succulent food for the COWS
in the winter time, and to supplement
the pasture during the dry portions
of the succeeding summer. Another
norton of the corn could be shocked
and fed to the stock in the cured form
throughout the winter.
Hog Raising.
Those who like hog raising could
well combine hog raising with cattle
raising, keeping on such farm 10 OF
12 brood sows A portion of the al
falfa could be used for hog pasture.
For grain, these brood sows could be

fed quite largely from the screenings
produced in cleaning seed for $50 to
200 acres of grain that would natur-
ally be grown on such farm. If a
farmer cleans his seed right he should
secure from so to rs bushels of screen
ings when cleaning for that acreage.
To turn the sows and pigs on dur
ing July and August, when the alfalfa
pasturage has become scanty, and
the pigs need more forcing, a fair
acreage of peas should be planted.
Twenty to twenty-five acres should
do for that number of pigs. They
should be pastured on only a portion
of the peas at time, to save wallow-
ing them down and wasting them.
Following the peas, they should have
corn to run in. By planting a real
early variety, such as the Yellow Dent,
grown by the state experiment sta
ton, corn may be fit for them to turn
into by August 20. BY planting lat
er variety, like the White Dent, also
grown by the station, they will have
corn down until the middle of October.
If the farmer has his fences built hog
tight, so that the grain on the stub
blefields may be utilized, considerable
revenue may be secured and the hogs
will be benefited by having the great
er range.
One thing should be borne in mind
in combining stock raising with the
cropping. In order to secure the best
results the stock should be well sup
piled with food from start to finish,
and never allowed to run down. The
above suggestions provide for this
point. If a 320-acre farm were han
died in this way it's fertility would
be as great fifty years from now as
it is today There would be just as
many bushels of grain grown annually
as under the present system, and there
could in addition be received an annual
revenue of $4,000 or $4,000 from dairy
products, young stock and hogs.

1t is also announced that the State

Berkshire stock at the various fairs
which occur this fall in the region be-
tween Northern Washington and Sac
ramento, Cal. The stock for exhibit
ton will be selected from the herds of
breeders in different parts of the

HOLDS Up TRAIN
TO SAVE HIS LIFE
Mining Man Loses His Way in
Desert and Faints Away
Beside Track
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


SAN BERNARDINO, July 25.--The
march of progress in the building of
the Salt Lake road saved Hal Levers,
a prominent young mining man of the
Jubilee camp, from death on the desert
yesterday At the point of gun Lew
ers held up the Salt Lake limited far
out in the desert, but before the train
had come to a stop he fell in a faint
on the hot sand beside the track
For nearly "a hours Levers had wan
dered through the desolate desert, fall
ing at almost every step until at last
his bewildered senses told him he had
found the railroad. He sank down be-
side the track, but the approaching
train aroused him. Rising to his feet
he drew his six shooter and leYeled it
at the oncoming train.
The engineer OWNED his plight and
brought the train to stop. The crew
gathered the unconscious man in their
arms and placed him aboard the train.
His tongue was so swollen that 1T pro-
truded from his mouth. His face,
hands and legs were bleeding from
MANY falls on the rocks and his clothes
were torn TO tatters.
It was many hours before Levers re-
gained consciousness. He started from
the mining camp at dusk to walk to
Jean station. He lost his way and
tramped through the desert all night
When the hot sun came up the next
morning he threw away his suit case
and part of his clothing and 1t was late
in the afternoon before he came upon
the railroad.

TOBACCO POISON.
IL You Must Smoke, Puff Your Cigar
or Pipe Leisurely.

II You Must Smoke, Puff Your Cigar
or Pipe Lesurely.
That it is much more injurious to
smoke quickly than slowly is the con-
clusion arrived at by two Austrian
scientists after careful study and ex-
pertinent.
The two professors-Dr. Liebermann
and DR.. Davidovics-tested pieces OF
cotton which had been placed in the
mouthpieces of pipes and cigar holders
and found them covered with yellow
ish brown fecks. These were found
to be of tarry nature produced dur
ing the process of combustion, and
highly poisonous.
1t was found also that two cigars or
the same brand and strength often
produced differing degrees OF discolora-
ton of the cotton. Further investiga5
ton showed that these differences wer.
due to the length Of time occupied IN
smoking. The same weight of tobacco
smoked in five minutes produced near
ly three times as many yellowish
brown spots as if 1t were smoked in
fifteen minutes. The professors there
fore concluded that a rapid smoker
inhales a much larger quantity OF
poisonous substance, to the consequent
injury of his health, than does his
more phlegmatic colleague.-Pall Mall
