northern Canada by members of the
Northwest Mounted Police, VIII Ropp,
said by the authorities TO be the most
notorious horse rustler and cattle thief
in the western country, has been appre-

awaiting trial. The chase covered near
" 1900 miles and was remarkable for
the persistency with which the police
followed the trail of the fugitive
through the trackless north country.
Ropp, tired of being hunted, finally
gave up and confessed to a list OF of
lenses which was a revelation even to
the officers. His confession tells in de-

adds the statement that he has probably
committed as many more, details or

follows:
IAN immediate investigation by con-

charges brought against Judge Emory
Speer by Col. w. A. HUFF.
IF these accusation. which are beyond
all doubt of a most serious nature. are
unfounded and untrue, In justice TO
Judge Speer, the fact should be proved.
If Colonel HUFF is justified in attacking
the integrity of a great Judge and an
important court, this fact should also be
clearly established. In either event the
truth is desirable and necessary.

There is no reason why you should
not find the sheep business profitable
in your section of the state and under
the circumstances outlined in your let
ter. The semi shaded woods pasture
with good grazing is an ideal location
for sheen. You should divide this area
into two paddocks and Craze them al

in that they clean up everything eat
able in sight, and they should not be
permitted to Craze the land too close

one pasture to another for various rea-
sons. You should probably not keep a
flock of over 90 sheep on the area. men
toned You should construct a dog
proof fence. The best time of the year
to start buying your sheep is late June
on good grazing land and feed them
rather literally so as to get them in
good 'cond ition, and thus be in position
to breed them earlier in the season
than would otherwise be the case. The
profit in handling sheep will come from
producing early spring lambs. There
fore, the importance of buying them
early I'm the season and breeding them
so as to have the lambs dropped in
late December or early January Der
comes apparent. If the mothers are
kept on good feed, that is. plenty of
grazing in the early winter consisting
of cats, rye or barley. and fed a limit
ed amount of corn and cotton seed
meal, say about quarter of a pound
each per day. the lambs should be in
duced to eat and to grow rapidly on
that account. You will find that the
cotton seed meal is not suitable for
young lambs. and you should provide
them with their grain ration in a CREEP.
1t should consist of equal parts of
corn and bran, or corn, oats and bran
to commence with. Scatter 1T in shall

what amount would ! require to infect
eleven bushels Of field peas? What
would be the probable cost?
IL is fact that there are various bac-
terra developing in association with GER
tain legumes which greatly increase
their power of assimilating atnospher-
&c nitrogen. In their absence legumin-
Gus crops will sometimes not grow on
some soils, or If they do, will make but
slight development and are yellow and
sickly in appearance. These bacteria
are always associated with leguminous
plants, but not with such crops as cot
ton or the cereals. When they are pres
emit and performing their work in con-
siderable numbers you will observe that
the roots of the plants are covered with
little white excrescences or noduIes. The
organisms live on the inside of these,
and through the association of the plant
and the bacteria the power of assimiIat-
ing atmospheric nitrogen by the plant
is made possible. Various cultures are
now on the market which will enable
you TO inocuIate the several legumes
cultivated with advantage in Georgia by
artificial means. Enough Of one of these
cultures to inoculate an acre of land
will cost from % cents upward You
may also inoculate soil which has not
been devoted to the growth Of legumes
by getting earth from fields where they
have been grown successfully, and using
about 600 pounds of it on each acre
which IL is desired TO inoculate. The
earth may be mixed with the seed if it
is properly dried. or il may be scattered
over the surface of the soil and worked
in with harrow. It is seldom that
field peas, by which you no doubt mean
cOwpeas. or other large seeded legumes
requires artificial incubation. This does
happen sometimes. however. and in our
Judgment you will find the soil quite as
likely to prove satisfactory IS some of
the artificial cultures, and naturally IL
is much cheaper You should have no
difficulty I'm securing the soil from a
neighbors field where peas have grown
vigorously and were free from disease.
It is important TO bear this last sugges-
ton in mind. Of course. legumes fail
to grow sometimes because of the &C.
idity Of the soil. and you should test
your soil with litmus paper. and If 1t
is acidity, apply lime.
