A Strange Vessel That Is likely to hs,oiuiiohixe
the Atlantic Coast u,ing Trade
phu.daInhia Times.

II
the Atlantic Coast Wr,ins Trade
Philadelphia Times.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-There is
strange looking vessel lying at pier
in Georgetown. She came up the RIVER
the other day loaded with ice. The
tugboat captains are focking about her
and cycling her with suspicion. When
her captain isn't looking they shake
their fists at her. This strange craft
and others which are sure to follow her
will in time do great deal towards
breaking up the business OF the tug
boats.
1t was Thursday Of last week when q
three masted schooner was reported
coming up the river. Business for tugs
isn't very brisk at best on the Potoma >
and tugs from Washington and Alex
andria started down the river to inter-
cept her. They found her. Not q
stitch of canvas was spread. AS they
steamed up she was seen to be moving
steadily along. In fact, the tugmen'
when they had got their eyes opened
were surprised to see that they had to
clap on more steam to prevent her run
ming away from them. They followed
along in her wake in respectful sort OF
way. They couldn't make her out.
She was evidently sailing vessel, for
she had plenty Of room for great
stretch of canvas, but it was all furled.
It was evident that she did not depend
on the wind. There must be steam
hidden away somewhere, but where was
it? Not sign of smoke-stack was to
be seen. Not speck of smoke dotted
the sky. And yet this vessel, loaded
down with ice, shook off the tugs and
went on her way without their assist
anse.
When the vessel reached Georgetown
a closer inspection was made. The
tugmen had come to the conclusion long
ere this that the stranger was steamer
and sailing vessel combined. At
Georgetown they found out all about
it. The mizzenmast, unlike the other
masts, was black. It was made OF iron
and was hollow. This was the smoke
stack. Down in the hold was little
propeller engine. She burned hard
coal, and not enough of it to make any
smoke. Here was the motive power.
The tugmen didn't like it. They saw
in it plot to destroy their business,
and have been talking over the steamer
schooner ever since she entered the
liver.
Old captains in the coasting trade are
If the opinion that this kind OF vessel
will do the carrying business in the
near future. When there is good
wind, canvas is depended on, but when
/ calm sets in the engine is set TO Work
md the coaster is turned into steamer.
No time is lost by head winds and
,alms, and as the engine is small and
out little coal is needed, steaming is in
expensive. Many large schooners al
:eady carry small engines for use in
handling sails. Three-masted schoon'
BIS are built on such large scale IN
;hese days that to hoist the mainsail
would require small army of sailors.
Steam is cheaper. Steam and sails
combined will cheat the tugboats out of
many good JOB, and this is why the
ugmen of the Potomac are not in
lappy frame of mind.

TEXAS TOPICS.

The cotton worm has made its APP
pearance in many parts OF the State
but as yet has done but little damage
Limestone county assesses lO'S4o
horses and mules, 80, GAG cattle, 40 jacks,
u,2Os sheep, 1872 goats and lO'567 hogs
The "first bale" has become so
common throughout tho State that its
annearance on the streets creates but
little interest.
The cotton crop of Texas never
gave promise of larger yield than it
does at present. All that is needed Is
warm, dry weather.
With two months Of dry, warm
weather, Texas will produce one-fifth OF
the entire cotton crop of the United
States for the season of 1928.
One of the "spunkiest" little rail-
ways in the mighty state OF Texas, is

owned principally by Galveston mer-

Galvestonians back it for all they are
worth. The Gulf line has been max

state. and it has been all that the COM

the fine crops have furnished business
enough for all the lines, and the pros

have been called off, and all is serene
at present. The sSanta Fe having

rha snooessful farmer must be a

leet. The successful farmer must be
teacher as well as a student. He mast
at least possess large amount OF one
peculiar kind of learning; in other
words, he must have more thorough
acquaintance with many important laws
of nature relative to animal and Vege-
table life, the character OF soils and
their relation to moisture, fertilizers

ably required in any other pursuit IN

make the soil more and more productive,
corn money in the pursuit, increase his
worldly comforts, and make that social,
intellectual and moral growth which
bsf;ts the true man. Unlettered men
NAV, and often do, make passable farm
ers, but they possess good natural facii-
ties, are close observers, industrious
and energetic; can manage men as well
as horses, and neglect no available re-
source for achieving success. Their
want of school learning as usually more
than counterballanced by natural apt
ness for making the most OF what they
possess. =,
The iirst-rate farmer must be the
possessor of good reasoning powers, to
enable him to understand the character
of his soils, so as to know what crops
are better adapted to them what fertll.
izers should be applied; what treat
ment his crops should receive to meet
the varying wants of wet or dry sea-
son: what and how much live stock
would promise the best profit, and how
to manage the stock in accordance with
circumstances. He should
also be able to reason we'll about fruits
and vegetables; how to grow them best
in his particular climate and soil, with
an eye to exactly suiting the market;
how to propagate by means OF plants
cutting, graftings or buildings; how to
prune, shape and train trees; what
fertilizers to apply and when, and when
not, and at what age they should be
allowed to bear fruit; what insect enc
mics they have, their habits, and the
pest means of their determination;
what implements are needed for the
orchard or the garden to bring the best
results, and so on.
Thus you perceive the business OF
arming is no mere routine, as many
enormously suppose. 1t is business
hat calls for much head-work as well
IS hand-work. It is therefore recon-
nended to men who wish to become
irst-rate farmers, to avoid too much
politics, for it leads to ways that are
lark and mean, and office-seeking;
void country stores, where much pre-:
,ieus time is thrown away, and bad
habits contracted, both of which unfit
nen for the business of life. And

The brilliant Aurora.

Those who were fortunate enough to be

Sunday night, had the pleasure OF Witness
ing one Of the most brilliant and beautiful
displays of the aurora borealis that they
have had the opportunity Of witnessing
since 1861. The nuroral display on Sun

portunity to witness that of 'Gl in all its

Sci ientis,s probably disagree more wide

than upon any other subject. The most
generally accepted theory, however, ia that
the aurora is produced by the earth beiug
overcharged by electricity Very singular
effects are produced upon telegraphic wires
during these displays Throughout Ohio
the press dispatches were delayed and the
operators were sorely puzzled to know
what was the cause of the trouble. In
