Bradshaw escaped, but a large posse
was organized and scattered in every
direction. It is believed that Brad
shaw’s capture is hut a matter of time,
as every avenue of escape from the
mountains into which he went is be
ing closely guarded.
The cause of the deed is unknown,
but it is believed that Bradshaw
thought Thompson had reported him
to the revenue officers for blockadin
and sought this method to retaliate.
PRICE NOW DENIES THE CRIME.
COMMODORE SCHLET.
Admiral Dewey, president of the
court of inquiry, in his report, sus
tains Admiral Schley at ail points and
completely vindicates him from the as
persions o" his foes. Admiral Dewey
finds that the passage to Cienfuegos
was made with all dispatch; that in
view of his coal supply the blockade
at Cienfuegos was effective; that he
allowed the Aduia to enter Cienfuegos
to get information; that his passage
to Santiago was with as much dis
patch as possible, keeping the squad
ron together; that the blockade at
Santiago %vas effective, and finally that
he was the senior officer at Santiago,
in absolute command and entitled to
the credit due for the glorious victory
which resulted in the total destruction
of the Spanish ships.
Admirals Benham and Ramsay, in
their report, condemn Admiral Schley
on 11 points. The majority opinion
finds in brief that Admiral Schley
should have proceeded with the ut
most dispatch to Cienfuegos and main
tained a close blockade; that he
should have proceeded to Santiago
with dispatch; that he should not havo
made the retrograde movement; that
he should have obeyed the depart
ment’s orders; that he should have
endeavored to capture the Spanish
vessels in Santiago; that he did not
do his utmost to destroy the Colon;
that he caused the squadron to lose
distance ir the loop of the Brooklyn;
that he thereby caused the Texas to
back; that he did injustice to nodg-
son; that his conduct in the cam
paign was characterized by vaccina
tion, dilatoriness and lack ’ of enter
prise; that his official reports on the
coal supply were misleading and in
accurate; that his conduct during the
battle was self-possessed and that he
encouraged in his own person his sub
ordinate officers and men.
Refutes Confession Relative to Mur
der of Mrs. Rowland.
Macon, Dec. 17.—Arthur Price,
charged with the murder of Mrs. R. J.
Rowland, was indicted yesterday by
the grand jury and will be placed on
trial Wednesday morning.
Price went before the grand jury
and denied any knowledge of the Row
land murder, refuting the confession
he had previously made. He now says
he knows nothing about the murder
of Mrs. Rowland and believes he will
be able to prove an alibi.
The confession made by Price on
former occasions and to several dif
ferent parties is, nowever, generally
accepted.
Judge Felton has assigned the case
for trial Wednesday morning and has
appointed Andrew W. Lane and Or
ville A. Park to defend the prisoner.
Schooner Runs Into Jetties.
Mayport, Fla., Dec. 16.—Losing her
bearings in the thick weather and
caught in the grip of a heavy sea, the
schooner James Judges, Captain Da
vidson, bound from Mayaguez, Porto
Rico, to Jacksonville, without cargo,
ran against the jetties at the entrance
to the harbor before daylight yester
day morning. The schooner was res
cued by two tugs and carried up the
river. Her planking was badly dam
aged, but her hull was not stove in.
Schley Wanted as Lecturer.
Washington, Dec. 14.—Admiral
Schley’s mail has been steadily grow

ber of offers to go on the lecture plat
form. One proposition was a fixed

last 40 nights. Admiral Schley polite
ly declined this and all other offers.

FROST AND FERTILITY.
Resistant Effect of Vigorous Growth
In a Variety of Plants.
In a recent visit to a large nursery I
saw two striking examples of the ef
fect of vigorous vegetable growth in
counteracting frost, says a writer in
Rural New Yorker. Part of a field of
cowpeas planted as a cover crop was
green and making some growth, while
In the other par? but few living plants
could be seen, nearly all having been
killed by a recent heavy frost. The
nurseryman told me that the space
covered by green peas had been heav
ily manured just before planting time
and that the rest of the field had re
ceived uo enrichment.
The secoud illustration was even
more marked. A large block of young
apples, two years from the graft, had
on one side several acres of rather
weak growing trees. On these were
few fresh green leaves, nearly all hav
ing been browned by frost. On the re
mainder of the block the trees had
made a good summer growth and were
full of vigor. The foliage of these was
green and almost unharmed, especially
on the strong growing upper shoots.
In this case the less vigorous plants
were on land from which trees had
been removed but two years previous
and which had not recovered from the
depletion of fertility by this former
crop. The more fertile part had gone
through the usual nurseryman’s rota
tion of several years without trees. In
both instances the land was flat, where
elevation or air drainage could have
had no effect and where there were no
forests or water or changes in soil or
other apparent factors that could have
brought about the differences mention
ed. A number of similar examples
along the same line which have come
under my observation could be given.
I call to mind a field of ceiery at Kal
amazoo in which soil fertility seemed
to offset a hard frost. In a forestry
experiment in Utah I uotieed two sec-
cessive seasons that the upper leaves
and shoots, which we usually speak ot
as “tender tips” and which of course
are best nourished and most vigorous,
kept green after the lower leaves were
badly frostbitten. Winter killing of
grains’ is most common on poor soils.
Vitality in plants varies with the fer
tility of the soil.
Seed Corn For Next Season.
As the season advances evidence ac
cumulates in support of our position
that seed corn will be scarce next year.
In some of the corn states there will
be more or less corn which, if husked
and carefully husked, will grow. Much
of the corn is late and comparatively
immature, and the moisture must be
removed before freezing weather ar
rives. But large sections will produce
means to do this are lacking. There
is no branch of poultry raising iu
which one can realize more from the
capital invested.
To raise turkeys successfully and for
profit they must he hatched early. It
is best to use turkey hens, as they in
variably make better mothers, caring
for the young poults much more care
fully than domestic hens.
One of the most promising varieties,
the blacks, are being bred in large
numbers in some sections at the pres
ent time. The modern black turkey
is nearly equal to tha Tirouze in size.
The old style blacks were not only in
ferior in size, but poor in quality. How
ever, by careful breeding and handling
and with an infusion of new blood
they have been greatly improved in
size and general makeup. To attain
their present weights and general char
acteristics there is no question what
ever, but more or less bronze blood lias
been judiciously used.
From a market standpoint there is no
question but the blacks will dress yel
lower and even plumper than any other
standard variety. The standard weights
of black turkeys are: Cocks, 27 pounds;
bens, 18 pounds; cockerels, IS pounds,
and pullets, 12 pounds. At the present
time these weights are entirely too low,
except on hens. We have no trouble at
Christmas time in having pullets from
14 to 15 pounds, cockerels 20 to 24
pounds and cock birds 30 or over. The
standard requires males and females to
be lustrous black throughout, but it is
a difficult matter to secure young birds
with solid colored plumage, as more or
less feathers In wings will invariably
be tipped with white. This will usually
disappear at maturity. Good strains of
blacks are strictly hardy, their eggs
hatch well, and they are fully as good
layers as the bronze or white. They arc
very docile in their habits and are not
ineliued to ramble as much as other va
rieties. The young grow r rapidly from
the start, and at selling time always
command the top of the market.
The bead and beak should be long
and broad and of good shape; eyes
bright and hazel; neck of medium
length and well curved; back broad, of
good length and highest in the center
and curved the shape of an egg. The
breast should be broad, deep and full;
body of good length and round in out
line; wings of good length and snugly
folded against the sides; tail of medium
length and when folded comparatively
small. Thighs, shanks and toes should
be of good length, with strong bone and
perfectly straight.—Charles McClave in
Reliable Poultry Journal.

“This step, a consummation of a long j

Selecting Bronte Turkey*.
In selecting a bronze turkey there are
certain points of plumage which indi
cate purity of breed. The color should
be a rich, lustrous bronze, which should
glisten in the sunlight like burnished
gold. On the back each feather has a
narrow black band, which extends
across the end. The primary, or flight,
feathers are black or dark gray, and
the secondaries are black or brown,
penciled with white or gray, the colors
changing to a bronzy brown. The
wing bows are black, with a brilliant
bronze or greenish luster. The wing
qenters are bronze, the feathers termi
nating with a wide black band. The
tail Is black, and each feather is pen
ciled with narrow bands of light
brown, ending in a broad band with a
wide edge of dull white or gray. The
legs in the young are usually dark or
black, changing with age to a dusky or
pinkish purple.
