A report comes from the Sinking
water country that the famous Hot
Springs at the foot Of the great Sinking
water canyon have been leased TO an
eastern company of capitalists by their
owner Count Du Dore. The Count is a
French nobleman, who has large stock
interests on the Sinking water ranges.
The springs have long beennoted for their
medicinal qualities, and are said to be Il
sure cure for rheumatism and all venereal
diseases. In the group, however, is one

From 1t arise poisonous gasses, and the
person who inhales them has a death GER
tifcate Tom %IIifner, a cowboy, who
was a stranger to the deadly character of
this spring, entered its waters last fall for
a bath. His long absence from camp
alarmed his comrades and search revealed
him dead in his fatal bath.
The company propose to open here
next season a new spa, for the benefit Of
the diseased.
From private sources it is certainly
learned that a heavy amount of eastern
capital will be thrown into our oil fields in
the spring. The new wells at Dallas have
gone down some three hundred feet.
The mineral of the new ore bed lately

Yesterday, at Trenton, N. j., the earth
ly remains of the first commander of the
Army of the Potomac were laid away.
Simple and transformations were the fun
eral rites, as has been the general 5 life.
Thus the last, but one of the best, com
manders of the army is gone. Before him
passed on Halleck and Hooker. Meade
and Burnside, and Grant; only Pope re-
mains. The man who organized it and
led it on its first campaign, was the last
but one to die.
Many of his old comrades were pres.
emf at their old commanders funeral,
mourning with his family, and brooding
over the thoughts that their first comman
der, he who first gave them an idea of
what a grand army should be like, is dead
and is being hid away in the grave. They
thought Of him as he was when he seemed
to be their herald of victory, and many a
mute salute did they wave to him; many
a prayer was offered for peace to his soul.

Fall Flowing For Spring.

-
from an essay by Henry Stewart,
one of the editors of the american
Agriculturist.
"But, as l was going to say. my soil
is light yet I have been in the habit
of blowing it in the fall for the past
five seasons, which is precisely the
ime in which 1 have been using the
Acme" harrow. Every thing is
plowed. And not only is this work
all done, but no weeds 90 to seed for
they are all turned under with the
stubbles and rot in the soil and make
valuable manure. Then in the spring
this 'Acme' Harrow is put on as
soon as the surface is dry enough. /
don't wait for the frost to get out. If
there is dry enough soil to get four
inches of loose mellow surface the
oats and the peas are sown. I have
sown oats when the soil below the sur
face was all frozen, and the surface
froze repeatedly afterwards. But l
haye grown oats weighing forty-seven
pounds to the bushel for four years
successively from seed the same
weight. I believe this early sowing
is the secret of growing heavy oats.
Mr.. Jones: Il don't doubt that
because oats require cool soil and
long season and the usual late SOW
ing throws them into the sudden hot
weather of early summer before they
have become we'll rooted. But tell
us how this implement works on fall
plowed sod, for if it succeeds with
that, the only objection there is
against plowing sod in the fall is re-
moved"
Mr.. Peters: ''That is the great diff
ficulty with every farmer who plants
corn on sod land how to manage
the proper work on it in the espring."
81 know it isl | replied. "Corn
should ALWAYS be planted on fresh
mellow soil. and the sod should not
be disturbed"
Mr.. Jones: "Precisely, and that is
why 1 have advocated spring piowing
blowing of sod for corn on any soil"
But" l rejoined, "if you can have
the sod left precisely as it has been
turned but we'll firmed and COM
pactc.; by the settling during the
winter months, and then secure four
or five inches of fine fresh mellow soil,
thoroughly pulyerized, and made
firm and compact, right over the halt
decayed sod, and the work done at
the rate of ten acres per day without
excessive work of any stout farm
team and yourself ride easily on q
seat as if you were moving grass,
would you not then advocate the more
economical way of plowing sod in
the fal!?''
Mr. Jones and Mr.. Peters. (hoth to-
eether): Il would. most certainly.
But tell me. said Mr.. Peters, show
this machine is made and how it
operates"
The implement consists of a
double cross bar attached to tongue;
the bar is of angle iron and is provid-
ell with a number of steel cutters
which break the clods and slice the
surface into strips. Behind these are
fixed number of sharp steel coulters
having a curve similar to that Of
mold board of plow, but long and
narrow. The bar can be let down so
as to run close to the surface and
sink the cutters and coulters in the
soil. The effect is that the bar breaks
up the clods. levels and smooths the
surface; tie cutters and coulters

sitting out plants or doing any of the
work of farm or market garden, at
the rate as l have said of ten acres a
day or one acre per hou., with the
driver riding upon a comfortable
seat and adding by his weight to the
effectiveness of the work ifthe weight
is needed"
Mr.. Peters: "That meets all the
requirements Of our spring work, and
if the implement does all this. we
need not go mourning about our un-
certain and short spring. What do
you think about it friend Joncs?'
Mr.. Jones: "The great difficulty I
have experienced in spring work is
not only to get the work done in time,
but to get the soil moist, fresh, mel
low and firm with the implement we
have to work with. The surface only
should be worked in the spring. |
never counted my soil fit to plant un-
til it had been narrowed four or five
times and all this work, with the plow-
ing. occupies so much time that few
farmers can cultivate enough land 10
make living from; or the farmer
must have extra horses and hep in
the spring to do the work that is nee.
essary to raise full crops. Half crops
are starvation to a farmer in these
days of low prices. Now, if we have
in the "Acme' Pulyerizing Harrow,
a!clod crusher and pulverizer, and
set of gang plows. and a thorough
harrow as I think the description
warrants, I think we have the very
implements we need to enable us to
pillow our land in the fail; both sod
and stubble, and to fit it for the seed
without any loss of time and in spite
of the season."
"And," remarked I, just here "this
is precisely what this implement will
do. and has done for several years
past, for many thousands of farmer,
whose experience has been like mime,
that after using it for some years, it
is impossible to get along without it
and go back to the old and unsat-
isfactory manner of doing things"
Mr.. Peters: But should like to
ask few questions. How does this
Acme" Harrow operate on eavy clay
s,il? How does it leave the sou? How
h avy is the draft? Is it durable and
str,ng or likely to kreak in using?
Does it clear itself? How is it used
in sod, with the furrow or across it ?
How deep does it work the soil? Can
it he used to cover clover seed? Will
it do everything that q harrow can
do? viii it--Don't laugh, these
are important things Tor farmer to
know. was going to ask: will il
+ ay a farmer to get one who farms
only fifty acres?"
".xcuse me-" l replied, Il was
smiling to think these We're the very
same questions asked when l first
learned of this implement, aad was
amused to thiLk how very much alike
farmers think on the same subject /
will try to satisfy you on all these
points,
"The farmer who works heavy soil
finds several points of difference from
the working of u light soil. There
is a certain condition of moisture in
which clay soil should not be plowed
or worked with any implement and
certain condition of dryness in
which it cannot he worked. The right
stage is when the soil breaks apart
easily and when it is neither wet nor
dry. This occurs in the fall after the
fall rains have come and early spring

incident did not escape the unos-

THE LIEUTENANT'S PRISONER

Charles Parker, being young
man from the East, and II newly
lledged graduate of the military
academy, he was not looked upon
with sublime awe by the frontiers
men around his Arizonian post,
and certainly not with a fearful re-
spect ny the military.
The frontiersman, from their
proud height Of dyspepsia and dirt
recognized tidy Mr. Parker only as
"tenderfoot," while the older Of
ficcrs and soldiers were naturally
slow to concede military merit to a
youngster who had escaped death
or court-martial for a shorter period
than themselves.
In reality, Lieut.. Parker knew
very little of the energetic West as
it is materialized around Fort Nc
Dowell, and what little he knew
did not swell him with pride. 1t
was his idea that if knowledge is
power, knowledge of Arizona was
only mule power and not to be
coveted. lie was not in deadly
fear of that truculent creature, the
Arizonian in red shirt, but if he
had chosen an individual to stand
betwixt the wind and his nobility,
the gentleman in the carminG conf
sa would not have obtained the sit
uation. His life was not totally
without charm, for he was in love
with the colonel's daughter, one of
those charming young ladies' found
only in army circles who have all
the polish of their more fortunate
city sisters with seductive frank
ness and abondon developed in
their Bohemian existence.
1t was arranged between Miss
Helen and Parker that when he
could get leave, it should be for Il
wedding journey. 1t was the pc
culiar charm of this arrangement
that it was made without the colo
nel's assistance or knowledge
Lovers must have their secrets. A
lover without n weighty secret
would cut as poor u figure as II
secretless statesman.
However, the chances Of Parkcr's
getting u furlough We're slim. His
captain was on an indefinite sick
leave, having a splendid time and
entering heartily into business,
while his first lieutenant was en-
gagged in Washington on some oner-
Gus duty which required peculiar
talents and considerable "inhu.
ence."
"One officer" said the law, "must
be with the troops" and when the
law uttered these words, it ignored
the astute captain and powerful
first lieutenant, and, pointed with
its crooked fingers at our friend
Mr.. Parker.
The morning when history finds
him, the lone lieutenent, acting as
post adjutant, was sitting at his
desk in the colonel's Office, gravely
referring official papers to himsel
in some of his many capacities, sucl
as quartermaster, commissary, ordi
nance officer, post treasurer, chic
of scouts, overseer of schools, O
perpetual officer of the day. BY
his formal words one would hav,
thought him on very frigid term
with himself, Instead, for instanc,
of saying, "Parker will you take i;
squint at this !" he wrote ere
spectfully referred to Lieut.. Parker
who will take the action required"
Meantime the colonel was knit
| ting his brows over the order from
head quarters.

The Future Negro.

DIR. r. II. Allen has made some
startling statements to the Presby-
terrain General Assembly which met
recently at Cincinnati. Twenty
years ago, he said, there were in the
South less than 100000 negroes.
There are now 100000. At the
present rate of increase iii 1900
there will be more negroes than
whites in the South, and in 1885
there will be 100000 negroes
and only 96,OO0,OOO whites. DR..
Allen argued that the negroes dou-
bled every twenty years and the
whites every thirty-fve years. An
appalling picture of the future was
drawn because of the illiteracy of
the blacks, which with their increase
of numbers would hand over to
them the political power, first of the
Southern States and then of the
Nation. If DIR. Aliens figures are
true, the outlook would be black
enough in more ways than one, but
other authorities assert that it is the
white race whose ralative increase
is the greatest, and that that fact
will be established by the census of
1890. 1t is quite true that there
was II large apparent increase of the
blacks between 1860 and 1880, but
it is now believed that the census of
the Southern States in 1860 and
1870 We're imperfect so far as the
enumeration of the blacks was con.
cerned. One thing is very certain,
there are too many of the Southern
whites also, who are growing up in
ignorance. This is real national
peril which Senator Blair, of New
Hamshire, tried to meet by bill
which passed the Senate, but which
failed in the House, setting apart
sections of the public lands in the
several States, the proceeds from
the sale of which would be devoted
to the primary education of the
poor of both races. We have boast
ed of our common school system,
and with good reason, in the past
but we are now behind, very far be-
hind other nations in this import
ant matter. Some seventeen per
cent. of our population cannot read
or write. In Germany only two
per cent. of the people are unac-
quainted with the three Rs.
Great Britain and France are
making giant strides in the primary
education Of their people and will
soon be in advance of the Model
Republic unless we do better. This
should not be. On the Continent
they are ahead of us in technical
and art schools, where the cnterpris-
ing sons of the laboring classes can
become master mechanics and ex-
eel in all kinks of decorative art
work. 1t is our shame as a nation
that in so many of our shops the
skilled workmen are generally for
eigners. The reelection of Senator
Blair of New Hamshire is II matter
for national rejoicing. He is fore
most in all good measures, and his
National Education Bill will now
be enacted before his term of Office
