from the oleomargarine scare before
some New Orleans chemists have found
that excellent butter can be made from
cotton seed oil. 1t is also said TINT it
can be produced more cheaply than
oleomargarina, which fact, perhaps
would serve to drive the latter article
out of the market. We await further

'OfStrawhewy Plants Mr., II. e. Ger

Union:
1T is surprising to note how much
real difference exists between tie gen
eral characteristics of varieties Of
strawberries. Some, like the Wilson $
Albany, can be rroftably frnlted only
one or at the most two years, after
which the berries are small, and the
plant makes but feeble growth, with a
seeming lack Of vigor; others, rs
Charles Downing, will 80 on bearing
for four or five years with no apparent
diminution Of the crop, either in sIze
or quality. | am inclined to think
that to this class the Sharpless belongs.
We have an old bed Of this variety,
now in its third year, which promises
TO weld very abundantIy, notwlth-
standing that it has been allowed to
propagate itself and make all the run
ners possible during the last two sea-
sons. Then there are what are termed
the foreign kinds, as Triomphe de
Gand and lucinda, which emit new
roots every year above the old one
and on suitable soil produce fruit more
abundantly the third and fourth sea
son than they DO during the first and
second. In setting out rawberry
plants late in the season, we always
remove all the leaves but about two,
which are left to act as lungs to the
plant, and also the blossoms, If there
are any. Should the soil be dry the
plants are wasered and shaded by a
handful Of hay, straw or leaves thrown
lightly On them during the day and
removed at night, Old strawberry
baskets are excellent for shading new

Mr.. L. n. Bonham, Oxford, Ohio,
had pleasing experience with Gov
ering of straw in potato culture and as
a mellower of compact clay which he
reports az follows in The Con'naerc1ol.
ain the changes made on Glenellen
farm, a barn was removed and the site
and old barnyard were brought into
the present garden spot. The soil had
been tramped when wet for so many
springs and dried in the March winds
until the clay was the most obstinate
we ever met We had plougaed, and
rolled, and narrowed, and banged the
humps with the hoe until we began to
think we had caught Tartar. We
had treated it to long manure and
short manure, and ploughed in the fall,
and planted to potatoes in the spring.
and yet the clay was tough and hard
At last we plonghed in the fall, and
early in the spring planted with pota-
toes without plowing. After covering
the potatoes with a hoe two inches deep
we spread over all coat of old straw
about fifteen inches deep. We looked
under the straw in July, and found
excellent potatoes and in abundance.
The cost of cultivating the crop was
the covering Of straw, and as that came
from the remains of a straw stack
which we wished moved, that outlay
was inconsiderable. The digging of
the potatoes was light job. We left
the straw that season to be scratched
over by the chickens, where they found
great amusement. In a dry time IN
the fell we ploughed that clammy,
cloddy spot, and found that it had
been converted and redeemed into a
loose rich soil. If one has neglected
corner which is rough and weedy a
profitable crop OF potatoes can be
raised on it by giving an extra cover

heavy enough to prevent spreutlng Of

can get a useful hint from this reml-

Years ago when the Early Rose
was first sent out, a neig hbor who had
raised them the year before, brought
me seven quite small tubers to start
with. In his presence I cut each eye
out, leaving with each fair proper
ton Of the potato. Then | cut each
eye through the centre in one, two,
three and four different directions, &C
coIding to size, so as to make of each
eye two, four, six and eight different
pieces, each shaped like a pyramid and
having a skin surface OF about one

about foot apart in good soil and har-
vested two bushels Of potatoes, with "a

A Sudden Death.

A HERALD reporter was informed last
night of the fact that q man had dropped
dead ON the corner of Elm and Lamar
streets. He at once FASTENED to the spot
and there found some half dozen men gath
cred about therecumbent form of aman, still
in the clasp of death. IL was about II
O'Clock, and the night Waterman ON the
beat informed is4r reporter that he saw the
man first as he was crossing Lamar street
to the City National Bank corner, and that
he was staggering at the time, and when he
reached the corner he fell prone on the side
walk, Surprising him only drunk, the
Waterman blew his whistle for policeman
and went over to the fallen man. When he
| got there he noticed he had strange
| look about the face and examining he saw
| that he was dead He then blew his whis-
| tie "frantically," as he expressed it, and
soon two policemen and several men ran
over to him and he explained matters to
them, One of the policemen went off after
the City Physician and the rest of the crowd,
which gradually increased, remained with
the dead body. The man was apparently
about thirty years of age. He was well
dressed, clearly shaved, had good, open,
| frank face, delicate hands, and in his pocket
was portmonie containing S335. rs in bills,
while some 1918 in change was in his vest
pocket. A number of letters were in his
! pockets, but none that would indicate what
| his name was, as all envelopes were de-
stroyed and there were no addresses except
My Dear Son" MY Dear Brother and
"Ny darling" there being three of these
latter letters written in delicate, but
plain and pretty female handwriting. In
one of his pockets was also found note
stating IL am tired of life. / have made

The Rosser Case,

The jury in this case was charged by the
Judge at 10 O'Clock Friday night and di-
rections given the Sheriff to hold them
until II M, when ifa verdict had not been
reached they were to be held over until
this morning, and confined in a jury room
until verdict was reached, or it was APP
parent that none could be arrived at. Be-
tween and 10 o'clock yesterday morning
they announced themselves ready to render
their decision, when they were ushered in
by the Sheriff, and amid the breath
less. silence of bar, bench and spectators,
delivered their little slip to Judge Tucker,
who handed it to Clerk Jones with instruc-
tions to read. Captain Rosser is free man
by virtue of the few words inscribed on that
inch of fool soap, I'VE, the jury, find the
defendant not guilty" and when the
Judge said, Captain Rosser, you are dis
charged" his numerous friends thronged
about him eager to offer their sympathy
and congratulations.
When silence was ordered, the case of the
State of Texas VS.. A. T. 0benchain was
called. The County Attorney retired with
assistant counsel for consultation, and af-
ter brief space returned to the court
room, and announced their desire to have
until Monday morning to consider of the
most advisable course to pursue in refer
ence to this case. AT that time they will
inform the court as to whetherthey will ask
for fresh venire for this term eontinu-
ance of the case, or take some other
step. This was agreed upon, although the
defense manifested an eagerness to press a
trial. Thus ends the second chapter of a
murder trial which has excited the liveliest
interest in the community, not only on ac-
count of the responsibility OF the parties
accused, but the personal attachment Of
some of DR.. Calders friends. A semi
political character was essayed to be given
the case in the Pointer trial, but nothing of
the kind was allowed to in the present
prosecution or defense.
Obenchain alone remains to be tried, and
Pointer and Rosser being acquitted will
give him the advantage of their most i'm
portant testimony.

A Valuable Invention.

Mr.. H. L. Kreuter, a .well-known citizen
of Dallas, has received a patent upon q
portable apparatus for treating and preserv-
ing timber, railroad ties, ETC., at various
stations. 1t is a combination of well ap
proved, old patented methods long and
successfully used in Europe. Mr. Kreuter
has received from his brother, +. Kreuter
imperial and royal professor at Brunn, near
Vienna, Austria, drawings and specified
tons setting forth the patented apparatus
proval of the principal method from high
European railroad authorities also samples
of ties. subjected to this process. One
especially remarkable is piece of a pine
tie which had lain in the Royal Hanover
Railroad from 1852 to 1879 perfectly well
preserved. Particulars can be learned by
application to Mr. Kreute.. or, to Mr.. J. L,
Elliott, editor of the HERALD.
