Germ Firing.

Last fall in driving about the coun-
try among corn fields with which j
was familiar. l noticed that every
field that had been planted on q
crimson clover sod was green to the
ground, and hat other fields where
no clover had been were burnt nearly
to the ears. This was a the de-
cayed clover had enabled the soil 80

dry weather following heavy rains,
corn on light soils will fire badly be
cause the growth excited by the rains
can be no longer maintained owing
to the dry condition of the soil, while
with an of humus-making
material the moisture will be main
tanned and the corn will not suffer.

Put Peas in Every Vacant Place.

What Professor Barrow says about
the three-year rotation with pea in
Louisiana reminds me Of a remark
made by the late Mr.. Leazar when
he was a membe Of the BOARD of
Trustees Of the North Carolina Col
lege Of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.
I had been urging the farmers Of
North Carolina to use the owpea
more for the feeding of stock and
the Improvement of the soil. Meeting
Mr.. Leazar one day. he said: You
AVE run our people in 1redeli crazy
on peas. They used to grow peas and
sell them to Louisiana every year,
but now they say if they are SO good
for Louisiana. they must be good
here, and they are keeping the peas
at home and sowing more OF them
and feeding the hay For thirty years
l have been urging the farmers to
plant peas and / am glad to join
with Professor Barrow in saying plant
peas in every vacant place. You will
get more corn in a field that has peas
in it than you will without them,
and you will help the and at the
same time. Feed them well with
phosphoric acid and potash and the
peas will do the rest.

Let Us Grow Our Own Seeds.

Why should any farmer complain of
the high price Of COwpeaS? Certainly
a Southern farmer should not. The
high price is largely due to the fact
that the w~ide-awake stock feeders
in the North nave found that cOwpea
meal is a valuable feed. There is
also a demand for the seed in local.
ties North where it is hard to ripfn
them. Farmers all over the country
have discovered the value OF the
Southern peas. and the price will
never be low again.
What we should have in every
neighborhood is a travelling pea
threshing outfit that will clean the
peas for every one from the stored

crimson clover as we should we can

to be owned on one average farm. buf
il enough are grown to warrant some
one investing in a hulier and power
to thresh the seed for the whole sec
ton, we can get crimson clover seed
of our own cheaply.
But until this Is done the best
thing Is to fail out seed enough for
your own sowing and SOW them in
the pods. It will take more than
twice the wets hi OF seed in the rough.

But the young white men of the
South should get land and show the
old staSers the way out of the ruts.
The corn contests are showing the

they are certainly exciting a love for

The Horses for the South.

I fully believe that the south
should have more horses. and good
blocky animals, too: mares that will
make good mules, for the mule is of
more use in the cotton field than the
big P~ercheron. / do not believe tina
the Percherons will ever be the farm
horses Of the South. There Is profit
in raising them to sell for city drayage
nurDoses. but they will never displace
good. compact. biocky mules in the
cotton field. A horse with a foot as
big as a dish-pan is out Of place in a
cotton plan tation. All the same, for
heavy hauling. we want some heavier
horses, and. as l have said. We want
mares that will raise fine mules.

equally as indignant over the circum-

According to a number OF ogden

sons why the people cannot hope for

consumer.
The first reason is that. although the

raised so cents and 70 cents on the diff
profit remains the same in most in
stances-in others the dealers profit
is less now than IL was before NOVem-
Der I. when the combines ultimatum
was sent out.
The second reason is that at the
present rate of profit, nobody but the
producer Is making any money There
is not a coal dealer in ogden but who
is thoroughly disguised with the con-
dillon OF affairs.

Frank Gillette of the Gillette Coal

Interviews with several local deal

son why Ogden people are paying more
for coal now than they did a month
ago except that the producers had
raised the price on the dealers.
Some kinds of coal are selling for
less money Ia Ogden today than the

THE L0TTIE TALBOT

After several months of strenu ous labor, w. ]. Campbell and the Me farline brothers have succeeded in raising the Lottie Talbot and tow ing her to position of safety from the ice. It is estimated that the cost of raising the wrecked vessel was not far short of s, 500, and the hull as 1t stands is worth about that sum. With a little dressing up here and there and when it Is thor oughly dried out, the vessel will be good for several years of service. The persistence and energy dis played in saving the steamer is de serving of great praise. When they started in it was expected that the Lottie Talbot could have been saved for far less sum than was actually the case, but having put their shoulder to the wheel the owners refused to quit, The chan nel IS now clear for the steamers Of the Alaska Transportation Co.

WORKING AND F|NAHC|NC SMALL MINES

Just aS the strength of a ma ton depends in the last resort upon it's peasant proprietorS, SC the valpe of d mining district to a community at large depends, not on the operations of big corporations, but on the small independent sH nut,.tt,y or Ihe in dIVidual miner. Given a fair number of small operators, each doing well fOr himself, the pros perity of the surrounding dis trict is assured.
 This has been proved time and again n placer camps, and is at present being demonstrated in quartz countries in other parts of the world.
 It Is common error among those who are unacquainted with quartz propositions to think that d 10 or 10 stamp mill is es- Nential to the successful working of a mine, whereas, aS a matter of fact. there are many quartz mines which do not justify d mill of such magnitude, but which, at the same time would warrant the introduction of a , or even 2stamp mill. Many small mills of from to , stamps are at present returning large dividends to their owners, where mills of larger capacity would be eating their heads off with management expenses and in terest charges.
 The cost of installing these small mills ia not nearly so large as the uninitiated imagine. There are at present on the market many small mills that could be installed in Alaska for a reasonable sum, which would allow them to be extensively

FR0NT ST- FRACAS

Last Tuesday evening about < o'clock, the peace and quiet of Front street was broken by q free-for 2ll fight opposite the Panama saloon and Eagle cigar store.
 It appears that the trouble commenced in saloon when a drunken Slavonian began 70 hurl obnoxious epithet> at a group of his COmpatriOts, who were also imhibing freely. His tenn erity was resented by his fellow countrymen, who proceeded to show their resentment in the or thodoN Slovenian way, viz, by kicking his head off. This was a little too much for Waterfront Brown, who is not sufficiently acquainted with SIavonian eti- quette to appreciate ther point of view. So he sailed into the bunch in a @allent but intellectual attempt to rescue the poor devil who was being kicked to death to make 6 Russian holiday. The interferenceO of an outsider quick ly united the combatants, and Waterfront had received several hard knocks before the advent of Mace Ferrara, who proceeded to lay out the combatants in quite professional style. The fight OverhoWed irto the street and looked like developing into a riot, when the arrival of Pa trolman Conway led tC the ar rest of the ringleaders and their lodgment in the city jail.
 Patrolman Conway, as vas to be expected, could do little against such a tough bunch sin gle handed, and had to call upon some of the nearby citizens for assistance, before he could SC cure his prisoners.
 When brought before the city magistrate on Wednesday after noon, four of the gladiatorS were fined S1j apiece and costs, while the fifth prisoner was dis charged.
