A VALUABLE CROP.
Why Rye Ranks High in More Respee

Why Rye Ranks High in More Respects
Than One.
Rye is q crop that can be made to
render more service to the farmer than
any other, yet it is more frequently
overlooked and discarded than it
should be. 1t is a plant that not only
endures the cold of winter and the
heat of summer, but it will grow on
the richest soil or the poorest sandy
land. In some sections it is really the
clover of sandy soils, for without it's
aid the advantages of green manuring
would be unavailable. Even the seed
is cheap, while the cultivation neces-
sary is very little compared with other
crops. As a profitable grain crop it is
behind oats, wheat, barley and corn,
but the straw is more valuable than
that of any other crop, for which it is
sometimes grown alone.
Leaving out the value of rye as a
grain crop entirely, it still ranks high
in more ways than one. The fact that
it can be sown in the fall and made to
produce q late supply of green food
after other grasses have ceased grow
ing, should prompt farmers to devote a
space to rye every season, but it's use
fulness extends further. The severe
cold of the hardest winters will not in.
jure it, and early in the spring, long
before grass begins to grow, rye ap-
pears in its green condition to afford a
supply of succulent heritage to the
stock at a time when it is most needed.
1t allows the stock the privilege of
eating off the early growth, and when
the grass appears and the rye is no
longer required, it will grow out again
and make a crop of grain. It can then,
in early spring, if preferred by the
farmer, be plowed under instead of be-
ing allowed to seed, and it will pro-
vide an excellent manure for the corn
crop.
In one respect rye is cheap crop
because it requires no land for it's
growth, to q certain extent. That is,
if the seed is sown in the fall on land
intended for corn in the spring, and
the rye turned in before planting corn.
the rye simply holds the land that
would otherwise be unoccupied during
the winter. 1t is also excellent on the
land intended for potatoes, and, as it
assists in keeping down weeds, it saves
much labor in that respect.
As rye can be pastured at nearly all
stages of growth; and can be turned
under as green manurial agent at any
time, the farmer who fails to SOW it
will deprive himself and his stock of a
most valuable plant, and, as it can be
seeded down at any time at this season,
the land for that purpose should be
prepared without delay. OF course it
thrives best on rich land, but even the
poorest soil should be sown to rye
rather than leave it unoccupied.-Rura1

fully as she entered the room: my

is told with evidence of sincerity: A

A REMARKABLE STORY.
Novelist Cable Tells of q Louisiana +
man0o nf 2lavarv IDova

Novelist Cable Tells Of a Louisiana Ro-
nance of Slavery Days.
George w. Cable said to a newspaper
reporter the other day: 1T Is interest
ing that so many short stories have
their scenes laid in and around New
Orleans and Louisiana. It is roman
tic country. A friend in New Haven
told me some time since that while
rummaging around among some old law
reports he found an account of slave
girl who secured her freedom by learn
ing that she had no colored blood, as
she had always herself supposed. It
was noted case at that time, but had
passed from the memory of the present
generation. Iapplied to an ex-Justice
of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, and
he knew nothing of the case until he
searched and found it in the records.
The case was first tried in the lower
court, which declared the girl a slave.
The Supreme Court reversed the finding
at once. Its decision substantially said
that If the girl was black that fact would
be proof enough of her slavery, but as
she was white the girl could not be
compelled to prove her right to free
dom, but she must be assumed to be
free, and her negro blood and slavery
must be proved. That could not be
done and she was no longer a slave.
The court records 1 possess by courtesy
of the court to which I must return
them. These records of the case tell
a fascinating story of the girls life.
In company with her parents and sis
ter she came to America from the
French province of Alsace. The ship
was captured by mutineers, and her
father was killed. The mother died
soon after landing, and the daughter
experienced various adventures among
the Indians, where they were cast by
the mutineers. They finally were sold
into slavery and became separated.
She was at last recognized by some of.
her relatives, who had followed her
family to America. Her identity was
proved by a startling resemblance to
her mother and by birthmarks in the
shape of blackberry signs upon the in
side of both legs. just above the knees.
1 believe that she is still living, an
aged woman, in Sacramento. Cal,
where she has a family, and whore her

He got leave of absence for day and
went to Calcutta without mentioning tho
fact to his wife. AND went at an opportune
moment. The little OIL town looked duller
and more desolate thai. he had ever seen it
before and the particular house in which he
was interested looked especially neglected
and woe-begone. But the natural gas ex-
element had reached Calcutta. Gas had
been found at Argentine, only few miles
away, and the well at Calcutta was nearly
down to Trenton rock The people were
full of expectation and wild hope. If gas
should be found at Calcu*sta the town would
take "boom."
And gas was found at Calcutta, sure
enough. A few days later the drill went
