charge of the property and the pal
ace, but he would not have the wives
or the hat and he would try to govern
the tribe so it would soon take its
place beside the kingdoms of Europe,
but the old king must sit on his right
hand as adviser and friend, and run
the family.
The king agreed, and the tribe es.
corted Pa and the cowboy and me to
the palace. and placed Pa on the
throne, the cowboy on the left the old
king on the right, and me at Pas feet.
and then about 100 of the kings wives
came in with COW tails tied around
their waists and danced before Pa,
and Pa covered his eyes and said to
the cowboy: Take this thing easy
and don't get ratified, and we will get
out of it some way, but I'll be cussed

After they danced awhile a tom-tom

for the feast, and some niggers
brought in tray of meat for us, but

the king came right up to Pa, and
looked Pa over, and walked around

the airship and gas bag, and shifted at

fell on the dwarf who had been
mourned as dead. and he called the
dwarf one side to talk TO him, and Pa
said to the dwarf: Tell him we have
just dropped down from heaven to in

talked awhile and then the king came
up to Pa and got down on his knees,

that Pa had been sent from heaven to

which had been employed every alter
nate year to conserve moisture suf.
ficient to produce full crop once In
two years. The enterprlsing farmer
sows rape or clover I'm the corn and
pastures the fields with sheep or cattle
until they are in condition for the
block. This saves the expense OF har-
vestlng the corn with men and ma
chinery, also the time employed In
feeding the same from cribs.
The clovers are fully equal to corn
as soil improvers. but take second
place as forage. The best results are
obtained in short rotations with small
grains. The Introduction of the clovers
OH the prairie soils of the northwest
has restored fertility and increased
the value of farming lands to sur
prising extent. Glover. as we all know,
takes the nitrogen from the great
ocean of air above the fields and draws
the potash and phosphoric acid from
the subsoil. where It lies below the
reach OF other crops. These vast store
houses Of fertility are unlocked by the
leaves and roots of the clover plants,
and incidentally converted into avail
able plant food for the surface-feeding
stubble growths of the farms. The
penetrative roots of the clover plant
mellow the earth and open compact
subsoiis to such an extent that sur
face moisture will escape as readily as
would be the case through tiles.
Field peas are becoming a standard
forage crop in many sections Of the
north. Oats and peas grown as a mix
ed crop yield an excellent substitute
for clover hay. These also make
splendid pasture for sheep, swine and
young stock. The millets are extern
sively grown on our western prairies
in rotation with small grains, especial.

Sorghum, which is a child OF the
south. is now largely taking a perma
nent place as forage crop in the
north. The plant produces an abund-
ant yield of sweet. nutritious forage.
or pasture. as the case may be, which
In quality is much superior to the
VI corn.
The seed is usually sown in drills,
with space between the rows for cul-
tivation. One bushel OF seed per acre
Is required to make a small, leafy
stalk. which, when properly cured, is
relished by all of the Domestic ami
mails, and is consumed with little or no
waste. When sorghum is pastured by
sheep or swine 1t may be classed with
the soil improvers.
Dwarf Essex rape has become a
standard and almost Indispensable for
age crop in various sections OF the
northwest. Many tons OF seed are
annually sown with the small grains
which make splendid afterfeed on
the stubble field
Root crops are not grown as exten-
siyely as they should be on account Of
the cost of harvest and storage, but
they maybe grown as a forage crop.
Pasture grasses are not usually
classed with forage crops, but they
are really the most dependable mem.

HAY HAS HIS

Hay is going to have his own
way so far as he sees his way, or
he is going to know why. The man

Lysons was the first indication of
the Hay temperament, and since
that time there have been several
little instances of an official or

the emoluments they may hold

Meal tickets were issued to $50
unemployed men this morning by
Mayor Moore. The relief fund has
fallen close to $500, and if some
additional funds are not received,
or the men find work, other ar
engagements will be necessary If
the city is to continue feeding
them.
The men receiving the aid being
dispensed by Mayor Moore have
manifested disposition to protect
the generous hearted citizens who
donated to the fund from imposi-

in the last two days have forcibly
expelled from their midst four or
five men whom they knew had
money and were not entitled to
public aid.
Fully 500 men slept contentedly

FOR DOGS

There'll be ki vi! and perhaps
many other strange noises emanat-

Mantle park before many days, but

the bears fighting nor the monkeys
quarreling over the ownership OF

reminder-better tie up your pet
canine, else maybe his warbling
voice will be mingled with the dis
cordant chorus.
After two fine fine goats, that
could absorb anything from dyna-
mite to dingbats, had been run
down and killed, and a favorite
deer had been made to leap the
efnce and run downtown by a con-
gregation Of ours, the man in
charge of the park Zoo has decided
to buy him about two guns. One
will shoot ammonia, the other cold
lead.
These are to be used on two
classes of dogs. The mischievous
ones will get a shot of ammonia,
but the incurables will be pune
tured. The park man called up

and was advised to carry out this
plan. 1t is to be in effect imme-

M0duWulle-
Salary warrants issued by Spo-
kane county are now stamped Not
paid for want of funds" And the
fiscal year is only half out at that.
The salary allowances are being
paid with money secured on the
warrants in the banks at six per
cent interest while the banks pay
the county only two per cent on
the balances maintained there in
other funds.
The county has not been on a
cash basis the whole year through
for many years past, and the
amount of money paid to the
banks in interest because of this
bad financial management runs
into thousands of dollars. At pres
ent the county is just six months
short of having enough funds to
carry it to the years end.
Nearly all other warrants as well
as the salary warrants are being
paid by borrowed money or else
not paid at all and simply turned
back to the holder stamped as
above noted.
And this has been the state of
affairs through the most prosperous
years the county has ever known.
Everything has been on a paying
basis except the county govern
ment. Yet the people have paid
their taxes.
