and half. It will be remembered that Starke had discharged these men and they got drunk and went to his house looking for trouble. One struck Starke with a club and the other shot him.

 Mexican Herald: Postmaster R. Rodriguez, at Mexicalli, a small town near the border, has been ar. rested by inspectors of the post office department, and will be taken to Guaymas or Nogales for trial. He is charged with being short in his accounts $1 300, but this is protected by the $2,O00 bond required of postmasters in offices of this class. Complaint was made 10 the postoffice depart ment by Mexico merchants, who had shipped goods on order to re- sidents of Mexicalli and had not received their postal money order remittances. Inspectors were hur- ried to Mexicalli. The office there was found deserted and the post. master in hiding. He was arrested. This is the largest dedication in the postofice department in a long time.
 Yuma Sentinel: The Mexican government has recently passed a law regulating the killing of the aigrette heron, a bird which pro- duces a beautiful plume much prized by milliners and which is found at the mouth of the Colorado as well as other rivers emptying into the sea. By this law no one is allowed to kill the birds without a permit or concession and the con- cessionaire can kill no more than a certain specified number in a season. As the birds only produce the plumes during the nesting sea son the killing of one results also in the death of it's young from starvation so that the species is rapidly becoming extinct. The act of the Mexican government is not from motives of humanity or it would have forbidden the killing during the season of full plumage, but is for the purpose of revenue. Dionicio Dominguez of Lerdo has made application for the conces- sion covering the mouth of the Colorado but has not yet received the permit though he expects it in due time.

USE OF LIME ON LAND.
valuable Information Given Out by
Southein'S Industrial Department..

Washington, Nov. 24.-Special:
A pamphlet containing information
which sho I'D be Of the greatest in
terest and practical benefit to the
farmers of the South, and which
may be had for the asking, has lust
been issued by the Land and Indus
trial Department of the Southern
Railway. The pamphlet treats of
The Use Of Lime on Land" and
tells OF the great benefits to be de-
rived In this way. Quotations are
given from agricultural authorities
and from bulletions issued by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture and various State depart-
ments, telling on what kind of land
lime should be used, for what crops
1t Will bring the best results, and
how 1T should be applied.
For improving sour soils, such as
are found in many parts OF the
South, agricultural authorities agree
that there is nothing so beneficial as
lime, since, with the aid of legumi-
nous plants, it enables the soil to
draw from the atmosphere the nitro
gen SO necessary as plant food. The
large deposits Of lime in the various
Southern states make the use of lime
lor agricultural purposes inexpen-
sive.
A copy of the pamphlet on "The
use or Lime on Land" may be Sc
cured by addressing a request to M.
'. Richards, Land and Industrial
Agent, Southern Railway Company,
washington, d. c., or copies may be
mad on application to any freight
traffic representative or local or
station agent Of the Southern Rail-
way.

TAKE FERTILIZERS FROM AIR.
Mammoth Plauts Will BE Built in
Towns of South Carolina.
(Atlanta Journal.)

Charlotte, N. c., Nov. 29.-Sur-
prise was caused generally in agri-
cultural circles when w. S. Lee, vice
president and general manager of the
Southern Power Company, Of this
city, announced that plans were un-
der way for the manufacture of COM
mercial fertilizer from the air.
The South Is a great consumer Of
fertilizer, and any means by which
the product may be had cheaply ma
turally interests every one connected
with agricultural pursuits.
Mr.. Lee has just returned from a
trip to Europe, and comes back with
the definite information that his COM
pany will actually begin the produc-
ton of fertilizer from the atmosphere
some time, probably during the first
Of the year.
The Southern Power Company has
numerous large hydro-electric plants
at various points in Piedmont Caro-
INA, and when these are COMPLETED
1T will have developed for the mar
ket something like 100000 electri-
cal horsepower This vast quantity
VIII be sufficient, not only to run
mills and manufactures, supply mo-
tive power for the intern rban lines
to be built, but also furnish means of
producing fertilizer in large uuanti-
ties.
Th1s company has already arranged
ior the erection of a 4,00O-horse-
power plant at Great Falls, S. c.. the
first OF next year for the purpose of
perfecting the process already ac-
CURED for producing fertilizer, and
adapting 1t for commercial utiliza
ton.
The machinery, most Of which had
to be ordered from abroad, is now
EN- route, and the plant will probably
be In shape for operation early next
summer. Numerous experts, en-
ployed by the company, have been
working on the process for the past
four or five years, and much Of the
ground work, looking to It's adoption,
has already been achieved When
the first plant is finished the COM
pany proposes to go right ahead and
thls fact is shown when it is stated
that second plant Of 20,OOO-horse-
signed.
Mr. Lee is authority for the pre-
dlct1on that the day would come when
every farmer residing In the general
transmission field Of any great HYDRO
electric plant, where surplus power
is available, at certain times of the
year, very cheap, could connect up his
small individual plant, and by means
OF this process, manufacture as much
fertilizer as he would need for the
coming year. The saving Of this
plant may be appreciated when it is
SAID that the manufacture Of ferti-
lizer could be achieved during the
mood season Of the winter or early
spring when the farmers would not
De able to do outside work on the
farms.
