Letter To Governor Brewer.

ms human game and made sure
all inconvenient elements Of dam
ger are removed, according to
rhe rules OF sportsmen, it were
required, before being pardoned,
that he did not shoot the game
without first giving hlm a warn
ing and a chance to run. How
much more sportsmanhke 1t
would be to have our man hunt
ers shO, \ then men on the wing
than is common practice now.
Again we might appeal TO the
rules in the prize ring. where it
is foul to hit man below the
belt. You might assert that. IN
the issuing of pardons, you would
regard certain parts of
mems anatomy as prohibited to
the gamester's bullet or knife
blade. Even a good pot hunter
disdains TO shoot squirrel ex-
cept in the head. Imagine how
much human game would he
conserved to US and our children,
if 1t were considered sports
n anly to will with shot or stab
below the belt, or if this delect
able, manly sport were hlaited
to the head as with our nimhle
squirrels?
Another suggestion. is that
man hunting might be limited
strictly to certain seasons OF the
year, thus in certain degree
curtailiGg the destruction of this
excellent species Of game. For
instance, the killing Of farmers
might be forbidden during crop
season. OF lawyers during tic
sessions of the courts, OF COVER
nors during the slttings OF the
legislature. of editors while IN
debt. Of bankers on legal hOh-
days, and so on, and greatly re.
duce the amount Of game bag
ged.
Then, too, the aid Of the Rocke.
feller and Sage funds might be
invoked To set off few square
miles of the state as man pre-.
serve, whern-the killing Of hu
man game would be prOhibite eC
entirely and no pardonS granted
in this region. Here the peace.
able might take refuge.
And above all things. Oui
sportsnen engaged in this ex'
hilarating sportof man-nuntinp
should each be required TO pub
lish his sporting rules. Say le
each wear a card bearing inscrip.
tlons like this I'm ''b0Xcar lei.
ters:''
'I'll kill you if you say I'm an.
other" or '1'il kill you if you say
rats" or .I'll ktiI you if you say
scat" or "I'lt kill YOU if you kick
my dog" or I'm kill you if you
touch me" or "pll kill you if you
make me mad" and so on.
We submit that since you
have Withdrawn all other pro
lection by your general amnesty
to our man hunting sportsmen,
some such notices as these to the
public by those engaged in this
sport, and some restrictions as
to time and place, and other
rules. such as are commonly OBJ
served by sportsmen, could be
made very effective in conserv
ling our human game. even
Ishoutd the idea of criminalitY aud
other conscientious scrnples be
dismissed incidentally. such a
Icourse might allow the average
peaceable man q better oppor-
tunity of proceeding with hls
pursuits for the support of his
family and adding TO the common

write you these few lines to let
YOU know 1--WE are we'll and hope
you are the same" 1t may also
interest you to know that those
of US whom you pardoned from
the penitentary are well-aiso
the sleek good natured attorneys
who got the fees. that our dead

with ample room near them for
others, and that our widows and
orphans continue to mourn.
Your CORE spondent has been a
we'll wisher of your administra-
tion and has endeavored to en-
courage you in all right dong,
Governor. There is one point,
however, on which your Excel
lency and your humble servant
very much differ, viz: your dis
position to turn our criminals
out of the penltentlarY faster
than our Letiore county courts
can convict them; not that we
blame the fellows for wanting tn
get out or the attorneys for seek
ing to earn their fees, all of
which is but natural. Yet we
expected firmer stand by you in
support OF the law-ablaing people
who are seeking to redeem the
bad reputation of former years
and check crime, by furnishing
the guilty. It seems, however,
like other great men, we very
,much dlffer, particularly on this
point. Yet perhaps, we. May
select common, middle ground
upon which we can agree. Ii
you cannot accept our old fogy
idea, that murder of men Is a
serious crime and governors..have
mo business to prevent the pun
.lshment OF those convicted of
such crime by fair and impartial
courts and juries. may be we can
compromise upon a medium
course.
Suppose you let it be known.
for instance, that in future you
will in the Issue Of pardons re
gard the killing of men as subject
to the regulations OF our game
laws. Let US show you how ad-
imlrably this might work to pro-
long and make more agreeable
the noble pastime of killing men,
For instance the law prohibits
:any sportsman from bagglng
more than three deer in one sea-
son. Suppose you announce
that, in pardoning, you will
adopt a similar rule; you will re-
gard it as unsportsmanllke and
iinexcusable to kill more than
three men in year. You can
explain to your friends seeking
pardon that men ought IN Miss.
Hssippl to be as well protected as
other game. This ought to
square you with them. Also
you might add that, by putting a
limit on this splendid pastime,
the sport would last longer, IN
other words conservation of the
man hunt might be classed along
with the conservation of other
game, as well as of our water
power, climber and the like.
Having adopted the above
rule. then suppose we add this
one, which, as every body knows
is adhered to by all good sports.
men: that, when the human game
rs stalked or set or located, 1t
/ must first be flushed before
shot. In other words. no good
spurtsman will sneak upon a

tension Department and It's work
ers. 1t will take tins much III
crease for the state to produce
the estimated home consumption
for food: meal, chops, and mixed
feeds. Tins increased acreage
IN our state over last season
would give US twenty million
bushels more, which is an ap-
proclamation of our states needs.
To distribute this from point to
point where needed and also
through TIE season means that
some preparation must be made.
A cam paign is beng made by
this Department for more home

that they will have elevators to
put this product in a merchant
able shape and have it prepared
especially for wholesale trade.
| And the farmers must. on their
part, be able to carry part OF
the product themselves for dis.
trlbatlon i'm their locality.
The idea that our nome grown
corn is not as good a product as
that or the corn sections of the
north is a fallacY. Analyses
made by the State Chemist a.,
the A. & M. College gives no ap-
! preciable differences either in
corn from different sections Or IN
different varieties. The south

cause of a longer season to make
and mature, and it must be dried

Der of cars have gone from the
hill sections of our state to the

tnev are now using the home

goes as far pound for pound in
bulk weight as the heavier ears.
The Mississippi type is largely

.ARBITRATIoN.-Why all the talk
of arbitration in the present Building
Trades trouble?
The history of arbitration proves
the fallacy of it as a solution of diff
ferences between capital and labor,
fully 80 per cent of the decisions
rendered being one-sided and against
labor.
If labor is strong enough (intellec-
tually) to obtain an equitable return
for its efforts it will obtain it.
AS it is, it would appear thattwe are
simply getting what we deserve,
through our own foolish policy of iso-
lation, or failure to utilize our pow
ers, through collective organization
and action.
Time after time have we witnessed
the edifying spectacle of one or more
of the local unions being engaged in
of April Tor the 30th), some other
trivial difference. Or else, after IS
per cent of the unions and bosses
have accepted agreements on the 1st
of April Tor the 3Oth) some other
local union, engaged In the same in
dustry, has controversy with the
same bosses, on the LIST of May Tor
the 30th) with the result that nobody
works until that difference is adj
justed. .......
AS a result of these conditions we
gain experience, and one would think
that we should gain by it, instead of
which it would seem that-like Oliver
Twist-we ask for more. At least,
we get it?
am of the opinion that we could
avoid a whole lot of these troubles
if we made an honest attempt to do
so. By we, mean the labor organ

Years ago Wisconsin ranked second

many reasons, it has been OH the declined

here are probably several different re-
fasons for this decline principly. the method
OF sowing wheat from year TO syearnpon the
same land which depleted the soil, the
lower pricc>paid for wheat thelast few years
and production of barley.
The heavy clay soil IN the Lake Superior
region and the climate is well adopted to
wheat growing but tie sandy soil is no. so
good. Wheat should always be grown rot
alton, while it does not wear out the soil
more than rye or barley but the soil is not
SO liable to become affected with diseases
which effect the seed.
In preparing land for winter wheat the
the ground should be plowed as early as
possible in order that The soil will settle
and become firm before seeding. In a
number of meadows / notice that the hay
crop is high and some is full of different
weeds and quick grass, such meadows are
not profitable TO leave standing for another
year for they will not likely be any better
uutil they are changed. On meadows Of
this kind would either plow and sow win
ter wheat or plow and leave for oats in
the spring, doing the blowing as soon as
possible after harvest is over. If winter
wheat is to be sowed it should be put in at
the rate of one and one half bushels the acre

OF September according to the Wisconsin
experiment station winter and spring wheat
have given about equal results but when the
blowing and seeding can be done after har ;

wheat, then during spring like the one we
have just had the crop is all out and grow

ing OF the old meadows right after harvest
and if a farmer has airy where from ter to

will be much larger. | notice that all Of
the farmers who have much of their land
cleared have enough horses and farm i'm
plements for doing this work, one team of
horses could easily get twenty FIVE acres in

horses and could get twice this amount out,
at any rate sow some wheat and rye rye tr

that it is far better the ground can be sedded
