the vines for hay. And want to state
right here that this crop would pay
me better than crop of'cotton. Just
as soon as it rained so could break
this land would apply another coat
of barnyard manure, and break just
little deepre than before, say sever or
eight inches, and again SOW in rye or
oats. Rye is the better for two rea-
sons it is harder to kill by the cold
land has more roots to prevent the
land from washing. About the follow
ing February / / would turn under
this rye, leaving the land fiat. Then
disk or harrow it until | got it in fix
to plant. Very few fields are fit to
plant when they are planted. Then
the first day after the goth day of
February that the ground could be
plowed | would take a II or 14-inch
sweep and lay off my rows five feet
apart, letting in this sweep well but
not throwing the dirt out of the fur
row. ] would be sure to run these
rows so that my land would not wash
when it rains. Then | would take a
fertilizer distributor and in that
sweep furrow / would put 200 pounds
of commercial fertilizer, rich in phos-
phoric acid, to the acre, Then would
plant my corn-I mean the very best
variety of some early maturing corn.
Before planting l would know that the
corn was sound by testing. Then
about the time the corn is beginning
to come up, before if there should
come a beating rain on it after plant
ing, l would run section or some
kind of harrow diagonally across the
rows, which | will call the first work
ing. In eight or ten days harrow
again with a diverse harrow, going
twice to the row, letting the teeth
we'll into the ground. This would
carry us close to April 1, when / would
run around the corn with wide heel
sweep. About April 10 | would harrow
again, going twice to the row, diverse
harrow. About April 10 to 20 would
hoe and thin the corn, or before if
it needed it, to a. stand of 16 inches
apart. About April 20 l would pillow
the corn out, three burrows with heel
or wing sweep. About May 10, if there
was a good season in the ground, |
would apply 70 pounds of nitrate of
soda to the acre and give the ground |
narrowing. Hoe all grass !
and weeds out of the row. Then the |
first good season after the 10th OF |
May l would give the corn thorough, |
though shallow blowing, and then dur
ing the first or second week in June
would give it a final narrowing, leav- !
ing the ground nearly or quite fiat and |
clean, and it will be in roasting ears. |
And if l did not gather rs bushels of
good corn off that acre l will write
another article telling you that our
plan is a failure, and tell you to go
back to your narrow rows, your small,
solid sweeps and turning plows and
% bushels to the acre.
In another article / will show what
his acre will have cost, and how
nan can enrich his whole farm as |
lave suggested above.

Carnegie Gives $4,000 Library

CENTRALIA, Wash, Jan. 22.-The
committee which has in charge the
erection of the new Carnegie library
in this city has received a letter from
Treasurer Frank, of the Carnegie Lii
brary association, stating that the sum
of $4,000. the amount donated by
Mr.. Carnegie for a library in Cen
days
The plans for the new library build
ing were drawn by Watson Vernon
an architect of Aberdeen, and have
been accepted by Mr.. Carnegie. II
seems that Mr.. Carnegie has an archi-
tect who wanted to draw the plans
himself, as he wrote saying that YER
mons plans were like those of a
schoolboy. Mr.. Vernon took the mat
ter up with Mr.. Carnegie himself, and
his plans were accepted.
The new library building will be
built on the south side of the Wash
ington Park. in the geographical CEN
ter of the city, and short distance
from the business district, The build
ing will face the north, but there will
be an entrance on the south side. The
city council some time ago appropri-
ated $500 a year for the mainte-
nance of the library. Bids will prob
ably be called some time next week
for the construction of the building,
and work will be rushed

RED FOX IS CAUGHT
INSIDE CITY LIMITS
Frank johnson Kills Unusual In
truder Which Was Seeking
a Dinner of Chicken

Frank johnson, whose home is east
of the eastern portion of the city, near
the end of Chestnut street, killed a red
fox in his chicken yard Monday morn
ing. 1t was after chickens and had
made quite a bit of trouble among
the birds before it was apprehended.
The body was taken to the Harmer
taXidermy shop, where the pelt was
removed to be made up into some sort
of furs to commemorate the capture
of a rare animal in this part of the
county. The fox was heard an hour or
two before it's death. Mr.. Johnson,
hearing a disturbance among his
chickens about o'clock in the morn
ing went out but could find no intrud-
er. second time, on a disturbance
alarming him he went out and APP
parently each time he frightened the
fox away. The third time it returned
it got within the enclosure and was
shot while attempting to leap the pal
ings.
1t is altogether probable that the
fox is one which escaped from captiv-
ity, though it was in better condition
than captive foxes usually are. l. H.
Oils. Frank Bryant and others re-
port that there are red foxes in this
country, in the hills, and Mr.. Bryant
Yakima canyon. At any events, this
is the first of the specimen reported
to have been captured in this city.

If the crew of an o. r. & N motor
car which reached here from North
Yakima the other afternoon could
have collected enough of a coyote
which had been run over they would
have applied for a bounty. But the
animal was not in collectible condi-

ote got on the track ahead of the car
near Ledbetter station and that it ran
ahead of the car for about a mile,
doing its best to defeat the queer
looking vehicle behind it. Nature
finally had to give in, however, while
the thing of steel and gasoline kept
booming along at the same rate. The
animal dropped back slowly till finally
there was a slight shock and the coy
ute was no more.
