One of the heayiest rain and thun- der storms of the year swept over this locality yesterday afternoon, beginning at 6:21 o'clock and continuing for sew eral hours.
 During three quarters of an hour in- tervening between 6.30 and 7:15 o'clock the rainfall registered at the observa- tory of the United States weather bu- reau on Capitol hill was 1 .45 inches. A measurement of one inch for an hour is considered heavy. The total rainfall for the evening up until o'clock last night was reported as 67 inches.
 As 1t happened the storm broke just when the throngs of the city were mak- ing ready to return home from the parks where they had sought relief from the sweltering heat of the long afternoon. Hundreds returning to the city were caught in the rain and thor oughly drenched, while others who were so fortunate as to find dry place in the crowded street cars had quite as un- fortunate experience wading through water knee deep in the downtown dis tricts in making transfers and in reach ing places of shelter. Hundreds of au- tomobiles also were out in the deluge.
 At Avenue and Fifteenth street the ear tracks were covered with water of depth of two feet and more making traffic impossible for a long while for the Avenue and the Idlewild cars, until the floods had subsided.
 At Elyton an accident was narrowly averted when South Bessemer car at tempted to back into a switch sub meRged in several inches of water. The trailer, which was packed with people, somehow straddler the crossed tracks and was in danger of being turned over

Dodder in Glover.

Sisco, WASH, August, IL, 1911.
Editor The Ranch,
Dear Sir:-Can you tell me what is
the matter with enclosed clover? A
neighbor of mine has field which is
being destroyed. The ground was
disked three times. A. W. s.
The clover is being destroyed by
dodder, one of the worst pests which
clover growers has to contend with.
Your neighbor bought clover seed
filled with dodder seed. 1t is almost
impossible to separate dodder seed
from clover seed. People who are
unfamiliar with this seed often get
bit buying clover seed. This is the
trouble with your neighbor. The
most practical way to destroy this
pest is to cut it, leave on the ground
until thoroughly dry, cover with
straw, grass or something infiammable
and then set it afire. Do not let it
get ripe if you can avoid it. 1t is
impossible to raise clover and dodder
in the same field, for dodder will kill
the clover. The dodder plants starts
from the seed and runs up in a small
yellow vine. AS soon as it reaches
the clover stalk it fastens itself and
uses sustenance from the clover, and
the root dies. No effort should be
spared to clean up every patch of
dodder. Ed.

Red Water in Cattle.

Red water in cattle is a common
atfIiction in certain localities, es-
pecially where the pasture is damp
and undrained, or living streams OF
water running through same contain
lot of decomposed vegetable matter,
or when the water contains alkali
salts. or when animals eat irritating
plants.
These are the general causes Of red
water in cattle and this is the form
of red water that is so exceedingly
troublesome to the live stock breeder
and which oftentimes terminates in
death of his animals.
Is Red water in cattle may be brought
on by other causes but this is the
most common cause and the one with
which we must contend. This form
of red water may or may not be as
ISOLATED with a fever, or with the
presence or absence of abdominal
tenderness on pressure. 1t often
produces frothy state of milk, or
even a reddish, with or without
marked paleness of the mucous mem
brane and with general weakness.
When red water is caused by direct
injury to the kidneys the urine will
be passed off in small quantities at a
time and with much straining. When
the active cause has been irritating
plants, abdominal tenderness, collie
and other signs of bowel irritation
are marked features.
This ailment is more apt to attack
milking cows than dry stock, and
especially shortly after freshening.
1t is due to the fact that the animal
at this particular period has not the
resisting power that an animal that
is not giving up her life and strength
in the flow of milk has.
A wise plan to care for cattle thus
afflicted is to remove them from any
low undrained pastues and feed them
upon liberal supply of wholesome,
easily digestible food. In connection
with this food add boiled haxseed tea,
bran mashes, slippery elm tea and
such tonic as would have a tendency
to increase the red corpuscles of the
blood and such Ingredients as will
have a tendency to act as an anti
septic and sooth and heal the irritat-
ed membranes of the kidneys.
In order to prevent this trouble
from affecting cattle it is necessary
to drain and cultivate the dangerous
soil. Until this can be accomplished

ing the rainy season. If wheat or
oats is the main crop, the stubble
should be we'll disked as soon as the
grain is removed. This chops up the
stubble and mixes it with the surface
soil and forms mulch which prevents
further evaporation. 1t also puts the
soil in condition to receive and hold
the first rainfall. The cover crop may
then be drilled or disked in as soon
as the soil is sufficiently moist to in
sure termination of the seed. An
other benefit to be derived from dis
cling the stubble is that some weed
seeds will also be induced to germin-
ate. If the cover crop is to follow
corn. it may be sown broadcast and
covered with single cuItivator before
the corn is harvested.
The most important matter how
ever, in the manner of handling a
cover crop, if the entire crop is to be
turned under, is that it be we'll chop
ped up and thoroughly Incorporated
with the surface soil before blowing.
Ii this is properly done and the soil
we'll worked down Immediately after
it is plowed, the most common objec-
ton and in fact the only serious one
that the soil dries out too bad the
next summer-will be removed.
KINDS OF CROPS TO USE.
There are a number of crops suited
to serve as cover crops in western
Washington. The particular one to
employ will be determined by the
special purposes it is desired to &C
complish. Common vetch (vicia
saiva) and winter rye or wheat or
oats serve we'll four very important
purposes. They grow rapidly and
cover the soil we'll and thus prevent
erosion; act as nitrogen gatherers;
supply large amount of early feed
for spring soiling; and if plowed
under, supply heavy growth of

bic attorney, appeared before Federal
Judge Archibald today in an inefec-

the wire trust, who were convicted
of having violated the Sherman anti

than by the imposition of slight fines.
Archibald admitted his leniency
with the offenders, but defended his
course by saying that the business
world did not know where the Sher-
man law stood until recently. Twelve
indicted members of the wire trust
were allowed to plead "nolle con-
tendere" and were fined from $1,000
to S1,7O0 Walker insisted that these
fines did not represent one-hundredth

WICKERSHAM
SHIELDED
CRIMINALS
THIS Is THE CHARGE DELEGATE
WICKERSHAM, OF ALASKA,
MAKES AGAINST HIS NAME
SAKE, AND SAYS HE CAN
PROVE 1T.

UNITED PRESS LEASED WiRE.l
Washington, July 31.-"Attorney-
General Wickersham has shielded
criminals in Alaska. This statement
is made purposely and deliberately.
/ am here to back 1t up"
This challenge to the attorney
general was made today before the
house judiciary committee by Dele
gate James Wickersham, of Alaska,
in testifying in the inquiry into the
department Of justice with reference
to Alaskan affairs Wickersham de-
clared that the situation in Alaska
was daily becoming worse; that the
monopoization Of the territory is
most complete, and that the Guggen-
helm syndicate can influence the ap-
pointment of United States officials
and can and does control them after
their appointment.
Delegate Wickersham placed the
blame for Alaskan conditions at the
door of the department of justice and
the encouragement.
Delegate Wickersham asserted that
the attorney-generl had made con-
ilicting statements regarding the
statute of limitations in the cases of
Jarvis and Bullock, accused of con-
spiracy in regard to government coal
contracts in Alaska.
The delegate also charged United
States Marshal Love, of the third
district of Alaska with having at
tempted to graft in connection with
the boarding of prisoners. He
claimed Love was retained in office
and protected because he gave evil
dence favorable to Ballinger at the
congressional hearing.
