New YoiiK. Feb. 2fi. A Baltimore
Special says: Since Peter Jackson's ad
vent the negro population has gone wild
over him. Their demonstrations at his
exhibitions have been so effusive that
the white "toughs" became exasperated
and a row occurred this afternoon. A
crowd of whites arid blacks waiting out- j
side the theater for Jackson to
came into collision and a serious fight
ensued.
When Jackson appeared the toughs,
who were prepared for the occasion,
started to bombard him with rotten eggs.
His colored admirers formed a wall
and protected him. The police fimillv
quelled the disturbance, and Jackson got
away.

Hushing to a Water Tank to Qnench Flames in
a Mail Car.
Denver, Feb. 27. An Osrden. TTtnL
special says.- There was an interesting
and exciting race on the Central T.,
tllS mnrnmo naQ TM. 1. ....
B l,l .uiuo vreeK, mirty-nve
miles west of here. It was a race against
time, and the goal ahead was a water
tank six miles distant. As the wBsthnnmi
fast mail tram reached a point six miles
east of Blue Creek, the engineer discov
ered that a mail car, which was filled
who turougnmau was on fire. An ef
fort was made to put it out but there be
jng no water Lear the engineer threw
open the throttle and resolved to reach a
water tank if possible in time to save
tue yamaoie cargo. .Each minute the
burning train was a mile nearer the
promised rescue. Six minutes landed
the burning train under the spout of
the tank, but loo late. The interior was
a seething mass of flames, and 158 sacks
of through mail w ere almost totally con
sumed. rd soon spread through the ooach
es that the train was on fire. The great
est excitement prevailed, arid only the
lightening speed of the train prevented
passengers jumping from the cars.
Thomas O. Pdohard, chief clerk of the
railway marl service at Ogden, was
the train. He says he is unable to give
even a theory of the firing of the train,
as it seems impossible that it should
have caught from Hying sparks.

I will now give my experience
m sowing winter oats that way.
In the fail of 1S87 I had a field
of sixtv acres which had produced
a crop of wheat that summer, and
which had been summer-fallowed
the year previous,
On the 1st of September I start

did not work the soil up much.
then followed it up with a disc
lurrnw. set at as great an angle as
it would work well; I went over it
twice, or to state it plainly, just
cut half the width of the harrow,
or lapped half every time, which is
preferable to crossing it, as it
leaves the ground perfectly
level. That was all the work that
was done on it, although rolling it
would perhaps been a benefit
You will perhaps remember that
the winter of 1887 and 188S was
-irow Kfivere on p-rain in the Wil-
o
lamette valley and froze out nearly
all the winter oats in this section,

the winter, that field of oats came
through in fine shape, with the ex
ceotion of a few small spot.; in the
lowest part of the field and yielded
forty-five bushels per acre of
plump, heavy oats, machine meas
ure, which would easily weigh out
fifty-five bushels to the acre. On
an adjoining field, the same kind
of land but which had been summer-fallowed
and worked well, the
winter oats that were sown on it
froze out, and had to be re-sown in
the spring.
The only reason that I can attar
ble not freezing out that winter,
is that the ground was firmer, the
disc harrow cutting down and loos
ening about two and a half inches
of the surface, leaving it firm be
neath, and the stubble laying over
we surtace, acting as a light
mulch, perhaps helped it some;
and in connection with this would
say, do not burn off the stubble, as
it is very little trouble if you use a
disc harrow; and I am sure it is of
some benefit as a mulch.
Will now give my second year's
experience in raising oats without
plowing:
In the fall of 18S8 had a field of
eighty acres that was in the same
condition as the field sown in 1887,
that is, it had produced a crop of
wheat that summer, and had been
summer-fallowed the previous
year. The first week in Septem
ber I purchased a disc harrow with
seeding attachment, and started to
sow, using two horses and walldnn-
as better work can be ' done that
way than to ride' and drive, as you
can sea to drive straighter when
walking; sowing with a' disc - liar
harrow is also a great ' improve
ment over sowing with a broadcrif
seeder on stubble land, as it works
the soil up better, leaves a better
mark to drive by and sows equally
as even.
My plan of sowing was to sow
one day, then hitch tliiee horses to
it (I used the eveners off of an old
binder) and set it at as great an -

lapped half, which leaves the sur
face level, and by by working that
way I could sow and cultivate in
on an average four acres a day,
which I have found is the best nnrl
cheapest way to sow winter oats.
I have not tried -it, but I see 'no
reason why it would not be a good
way to sow wheat on laud ' that is
rich and suitable for it

would say, no, thank you, I would '
ather sow it with a disc harrow.
Quite a few of my . neighbors
have sown grain on the stubble
this fall, and at the present time,
December 23, it looks fine, and
should it yield well next summer,
sowing winter oats on stubble land
without plowing will become uni
versal in this section.
I would advise sowing as soon
after harvest as possible, as the
land works much nicer when dry,
and the grain will be ready to cut
early the next summer, which is"
an advantage, as it is generally the
latter part of harvest that we have
rain, if any, but rain destroys very
little grain in this beautiful valley.
