Would Inspect stock Yards.

Jefferson City-The measure of
Senator Craig of Nodaway which pro-
vides for the appointment of a state
stock yard inspector and outlines his
duties is because of accusations by
farmers and stock raisers that they
have been unfairly treated at the
Kansas City stock yards.
Under the act every stock dealer az
a general yards in the state buying or
selling on commission is to be Ii
censed The payment of this new
state tax binds him to comply with
the law and the rules and regulations
as they are outlined by the inspector.
No commission merchant is to be al
lowed to both buy and sell. The Ii
cense fee Is to cost $12 year for eth
er buying or selling cattle, IS for
sheep and goats, $40 for hogs and SO
for horses and mules.
The inspector is to be appointed for
four years by the governor, with a
salary OF 5000 per month. For each
general stock yard handling $4,000
head of stock or more in a year there
is to be one assistant with salary OF
$4,000 a year, and all necessary ex-
penses.

The soil of the orchard should be
well drained and thoroughly prepared,
as for any other crop, before laying
off the land for trees.
A very common method used now is
to mark OF the rows and use two
horse breaking pillow to open up the
burrows. BY running four times In
the row, throwing the burrows both
ways, very little extra digging will be
necessary in setting the tree. Another
method followed is to mark off the
land by use of string and set stake
where each hole Is to be dug. Get
a good strong line the length needed
and stretch 1t to get out the elasticity,
then tie a piece of red yarn tightly
about the line at the exact distance
the trees are to be planted apart. On
a quiet day stretch this line tightly
along one side of the field and set
stakes at each mark, then stretch II
across another side at right angles to
the first and set stakes at each mark
as before. Next mark the third
exactly parallel to the second and then
by placing the line between CORE
spending stakes on opposite sides oil
the field and setting stakes at each
mark, straight rows will be insured
On land not level enough for this the
stakes may be sighted in. This latter
method was used by the writer il

TEXAS GOVERNOR NAY ORDER
STATE MILITIA TO BORDER

Austin, TeX.-According to official
advices received by Gov. Colquitt and
Adjt. Gen. Henry Hutchins, the situa-
ton along the Mexican side of the
Rio Grande is worse than at any time
since the revolutionary troubles be-
gan in Mexico, more than two years
ago.
All semblance of law and order has
disappeared in the last few days.
Bands of rebels and brigands are prey
ing on the unprotected ranches, farms
and small communities scattered
along the Mexican side of the river,
and hundreds of refugees from the re.
gion where these chaotic conditions
prevailed have crossed into Texas in
the last 4S hours.
Residents on the Texas side are
making complaints of inadequate mill
tary protection. Several raids on
ranches by armed bands of Mexlcans
are reported from points along the
lower Rio Grande on the Texas side
of the river.
Unless United States troops are
sent TO the border in sufficient mum.
bers to protect lives and property i'm,
mediately, Gov. Colquitt will order the
whole complement of the Texas Ma.
tional guard to river points to do
guard duty and patrol
The next legislature will be asked
to appropriate 100000 to defray this
cost.
Large forces of rebels are moving
toward Mata1oros and Piedras Ne,
gras, both border cities. Advices from
Eagle Pass say that Monterey is sur
| rounded by rebels and the city may
be attacked at any hour
Gov, Colquitt wired President Taft
urging intervention by the United
States. He received the following
message from Secretary Knox:
81 have the honor to acknowledge
the telegram which you addressed tc
the president today, wherein you urge
intervention in Mexico, and which has
been referred TO this department.
need hardly assure you that the stu
alton in Mexico continues TO be
watched with ceaseless vigilance.

of Il precautionary nature have beer

president remains unchanged, subject
of course, to the evolution Of the gen
eral situation and the ultimate effect

then be started and a perfectly
straight furrow, practically parallel
with the hillside, put in from this line

ficiently plowed out, so that there

every 35 feet. This marks the position
of the trees in the first and last rows.
From the second stake below a wire

tight to a stop driven in place of the

covering the beds is best done by the
persons, as then the straw frames may
be lifted. showing the frames over the
sash should be avoided, as 1t breaks
the straw. A handy maA can make

the weather is threatening or during
wet weather cover the straw frames
with the shutters, these covers will
protect the tender plants in the hot
beds as well as the more expensive
mats. Where only one or two mats
are wanted for the two-sash horbed or

used. Mats made of strong burlap in

had for 81 each. These mats are easy

one can measure up and down the

he will simply measure up the hill,
using one OF the end boundaries as
a base line and put in stake at every
80 feet Measuring down the hill
he should check up his distances to
see that each was exact. Each stake
so set would mark the end Of a row.
The same measurements should be
made up and down the hill on the
other border of the piece. Using these
end stakes as fixed points, a row of
stakes could be sighted in between to
