FIREWORKS TO PROTECT CROPS.

The great grain fields Of the Sandborn ranch
IN Shasta county, CAL, are ingeniously protected
at night from the vast flocks Of wild geese and
other aquatic fowl that do immense damage tn
crops by means of display of fireworks
Skyrockets and Roman candles were bought in
large quantities by the management of the ranch
and men are stationed at various points, Whenever
flock is heard honking in the distance several
skyrockets or shower of colored balls from
roman candle are sent upward and as = result
the birds give the ranch wide berth.

stated about this valuable crop, but
the purpose Of this article is merely
to advise the farmers to sow corn
thickly for fodder, thus tiding over
the hay shortage period and save the
live stock.
Preparing the Ground.
Any piece of fertile land will grow
the fodder. Il no other land is avail
able for the purpose, the meadow or
pasture can well be spared.
Plow the land about five inches
deep, and harrow as fast as plowed.
Work the furrow slice back into firm
condition again with a disk, sub
subsurface roller (not surface roll
cry and finally a harrow. This Is
necessary to prevent the rapid dry
ing out Of the furrow slice.
If sod land is used a more thorough
preparation will be necessary for the
stubble will act as barrier between
the subsoil and furrow slice, against
the free capillary movement of the
moisture upward to the seed bed. You
must keep tho moisture In the soil.
This can only be done by proper till
age methods. In this connection the
disk is imperative on sod land.
In the event, that blowing up pas
ture or meadow lands will make a
shortage Of either Of these crops, no
fear need be exercised, for fall rye or
even spring grains, can be sown on
the land to be used for spring pastur-
age or for hay, until another seeding
is established. In short, the effort
should be made to keep the live stock.
Planting.
The seed is planted in drill rows,
about feet six inches apart. From
one bushel (56 pounds) to sixty
pounds are sown per acre. When a
two horse corn planter is not to be
had a grain drill (not a broadcast
seeder) will do the work SATISFACTORY.
~. Cover the seed cups of the drill
with a piece Of wood or tin so as to
leave the open tubes the proper dis
lance apart for the rows. Open the
seed cups wide and test the planting.
The seeds should be about two inches
apart. II the seed cups do not open
wide enough to permit Of sowing at
least one bushel per acre, re-adjust
the closed ones so as to leave two
adjacent cups open, thus planting
double rows, or drills, 6 to 8 inches
apart and about A inches, on center,
apart. The seeds in the double rows
should be from three to four inches
apart. to sow the desired amount per
acre. A little figuring and testing will
be found necessary to determine just
which cups to cover or to leave open,
in order to best arrange for the mark
ing and driving.
More fodder will be produced from
tho double rows, but more care is
necessary in harvesting with the corn
binder, especially If the corn Is lodged.
The experiment station, in 1900, plant
ed fodder corn on July 18th, and har-
vested in the fall a good tonnage Of
excellent fodder. The stalks grew
slender and about five feet high.
When fed the animals left no stubs
OF stalks In the hangers.
Cultivation.
Harrow the land with a slant-tooth
drag the next day after planting. Har-
row again just as the corn is coming
up. II the corn does not come up

community was in peril. The town wasted
no sympathy on Hunt, but condemned the
lynching. They blamed the officers at the
fort for having, as they put it, allowed the
outbreak to occur. The gambling contingent held
Il onlv proved the army no good, anyhow. The
soldiers were loafers, too lazy to work. They did
nothing but eat up the money of the taxpayers
said the hardworing experts of the faro and monte
tables. The post commander could have prevented
the lynching if he had done what the sheriff told
him to do.
Then the prosecuting attorney did most anna
ling thing and the last act of the tragedy began.
Though not soldier was to be seen about the
town. he telegraphed to Washington Town in
the hands of military mob from the fort. Send
help at once" The message struck the national
capital like Kansas cyclone. Thunder and light
ming from the war department followed Orders
for arrests, boards of inquiry, courtmartials ga
lore, chased each other after the first suffering
inquiries the wires from stanch old officers
who couldn't believe their military and eyes.
The court of inquiry developed little not already
known. Hoeg dead Hunt had been killed by
soldiers. But who were they? AS witnesses the
enlisted men frost. They stuck together
and were either voluby ignorant or sullenly close
mouthed.
Courtmartials were convened. few-a very
few-men were punished, more or less Several
deserted when things grew warm. And last of all
happened thing which must have caused tho
county officials who failed to protect their pris-
oner much satisfaction. No hint dropped of
the sheriffs failure to do his sworn duty But the
war department had to save face somehow. Its
action reminds one of the Chinese emperor, who
when his army mutinied always beheaded the gen
eral. The post commander of Fort Willamette was
courtmartialed for neglect of duty. He was al
ready broken In spirit, weighed down by the
stain on the honor of his regiment, but ne was
convicted, and sentenced to confinement to reser-
walton limits and loss of pay for year. The SEN
tence didn't count for much; it was the stain on
his record that must have most deeply wounded
him.
The murder of Sergeant Hoeg lust happened"
The lynching of Gambler Hunt might have been
prevented If the army had not been tied hard and
fast in red tape, If among the officers civil and
military, the spot there had been one big
enough to meet the crisis
AS for the punishment of the enlisted men who
were the real Offenders well-all this happened 20
years ago. There no "big stick" in the White
House then.

Chief of Police Mike Davis. Bert

at least hope to rebate the money ex-
