The attorneys for Sidney Bell, the highwavman, now serving a sixty-year term at the State prison at Folsom, have filed a brief in the Supreme Court, which is the first step toward securing Bell's release. The grounds taken are that the indictments on which Bell was guilty were not good, having been al lowed to lapse and the cases to drop from the calendar. This was due to a murder charge which was hanging over the prisoner, on which it was expected to secure eonviction. The prosecution was disappointed in this, and then charges of robbery were taken up and pressed. It is believed among lawyers that the conviction of Bell on a charge of murder would be extremely difficult, so that if the technical point is sustained the footpad will be at liberty in the near future.

Governor Hughes of Arizona has had an important conference with Minister Romero of Mexico touching improv ments of the Colorado river, which would add to its importance as a chan nel of commerce.

He pointed out that Mexico along the Gulf of Cali fornia possesses large forests of fine tim ber and immense deposits of coal, in both of which the Southwestern portion of the United States is deficient. Gov ernor Hughes thinks the government of the United States would make the im provements necessary within its bound aries if the Mexican government would undertake to do as much within the Mex ican territory. The lower 160 miles of the river is in Mexico. Minister Romero was very much impressed with the representation made by the Governor.

Secretary Gresham ac cordingly has transmitted this informa tion to the Chinese Minister. The Treasury Department'! stand on the question is still further emphasized by Attorney-General Olney, who has di rected the United Btatea District Attor ney at New York to prosecute the cases on which the Chinese Minister's protest was baaed. Mr. Olney gave this diree tkm at the request ( iWetarj Carlisle, FOREIGN FLASHES. I . , An Apparatus to Split Llectl'ic Lights Invented.

Good Garden Will Give More Profit Than Any Five Acres of Sta ple Crops Notes. Roughness makes manure, but not as good as tine feed. See that winter cost does not consume the summer gain. No weed can live that is not permitted to stick its head above ground and breatne. Removing corn tassels for the purpose of increasing the yield has thus far been oi nine avail. Wide tires on the wagons are impor tant. In I ranee, where they have the best roads in the world, four to six-Inch tires are common. Farmers who burn wood had better haul their winter supply while the roads are yet solid and work in the wheat field is prevented by drought. Poultry of the best breeds are now so plentiful that unless for fanciers, show and breeding purposes a trio or two may be nad lor a trine, iney will amply re pay their cost. Some poultrymen in England feed horse chectnuts to their poultry. The nuts are first steeped in lime water, then well washed and boiled to a paste. So prepared, they are very fattening. The first purpose of the farm should be the production of such things as are available for home consumption. Don't try to grow crops for market until you have first supplied this home demand. The "dairy belt" has suffered from one of the most protracted droughts on record. Farmers who have not done so before should put down wells to an un limited supply of water. It ia a good tune to do it. The covered barnyard provide a prac tical way of protecting the manure from being wasted. It need not be very large not.. very, expensive, Built, with, due economy, it win pay large interest upon its cost every year. Do not neglect to make a general clean ing till of the farm before the cold weather sets in. Leave no rubbish about It looks unsightly, makes more work for you in the spring and, worst of all, is a place to liar Dor and breed vermin. A good garden will give more profit than any five acres of staple crops. Even if you do not like to work in it, the score of economy alone should be sufficient argument for having it. And besides being profitable the garden is healthful. If the districts of Europe. where there is a hay famine were a little nearer, we would see a boom in the cultivation of ?;rasses. Aa it is, our farmers would find t no loss to give more attention to this, and possibly a little less to wheat and corn ior a nine. xiie neaitniuiness of farm life is one of its advantages over other occupations, which cannot be measured bv money value, vt nen you are inclined to coin plain of poor crops and low prices, it is a good idea to stop and tnina about the compensating features. Those who have raised young stock for the fall trade will be busy for some time. Tiie early birds must be sold as soon as possible to make room for later hatches. and the very late chickens must have a comfortable place for their special use to avoid com stunting them, If you have some money to spend in Improvements about the farm this fall see if a windmill will not be of some help. A good water supply comes handy for so many purposes that, if you have not such already, it will pay to go to considerable expense to secure It. ECONOMY IN VEERING. Good food and system in feeding are the most important of the many needs of farm animals. Many farmers are poor stockmen because of a failure to secure wholesome food and to give it regularly, as well as carelessness in the mixing and adjusting of rations, says Orange Judd Farmer, The reason for giving certain grains at certain times and In certain quantities Is not under stood. The successful feeder knows when to give different kinds of grains, hays, etc., and carefully notes the effects on the animals. If bad results are ap parent, another ration is tried. By care ful experiment the proper amount of each individual animal is determined. Ordinarily the common farm foods are very desirable stock feed, but there are times wtien they are not as gunaoie. While corn. oats. rve. barlev. etc.. either singly, any two of them, or all in equal amountin a mixture, usually furnish safe food for stock, discretion is required to know when a change of diet is desirable. Regular hours for feeding are most im portant. One-tenth of the food usually given In winter could be withdrawn Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder 15 PURE AND SPOTLESS.

Gov't Report Portal? without being missed if the remaining nine-tenths were given with the utmost regularity. Economy in feeding ia most readily accomplished by providing sound, wholesome food at regular Intervals, LI OUT SHOES TOR V0CNO UOUSES. The most careful horse breeders are agreed that the lighter the shoe and the less it is worn the better. In a recent address before an England agricultural society Prof. Axe discussed the subject, deprecating the blundering management of the feet of horses. Often fine horse are rained by being canned to wear their shoes too early and too long. Standing in the stable a long time is liable to cause lameness, and could be avoided by tak ing off the shoes and substituting toft leather. Red-hot shoes should not be applied to the foot of the horse at any time. In plowing, cultivating and many other farm occupations a horse will walk ten to twenty miles a day, and advances about four feet at a step. At each step the horse lifts half a pound extra on its four feet 607 pounds in every mile. In a day's work of fifteen miles the horse would lift 9,900 pounds extra, or nearly five tons. If the force reouired to lift five tons of iron could be expended in the work the horse is doing, much more could be accomplished. In the light ef these facts is it any wonder that when young horses begin to wear shoes they soon become leg weary, have their steps shortened and acquire a slow walking gait? Poor.
