AN OPEN QUESTION.
Is Harrison a Descendant of Pochon-
tas? ~

~ aa-
1t is popularity believed that PTesi-
dent Harrison is decended from PO-
ohontas and from the Parliamentary
soldier and regieide General Thomas
Harrison who was executed IN 1850.
Pochontas, daughter of Powhatan,
manifested friendIiness for the early
white settlers of Virginia when she was
but girl. The story Of how she saved
the life Of Captain John Smith, who
had been captured and condemned to
death by her father-hOw she on sew
al occasions, made known to the set
tiers their danger when about to be
attacked-is we'll known to all acquaint-
ed with the earlv history of America.
Her subsequent marriage to John
Rolfe, an Englishman-her removal to
England where q son was borne, from
whom numerous wealthy families OF
Virginia claim descent-is the basis OF
the opinion that President Harrison is
one Of her descendants.
Whether this be true or not il is, how
ever, well-known that President Har-
rison is descendant of O noted family,
distinguished alike in piece and war.
The name of Harrison is already indeli-
bly, written upon the pages of American
history. for General VIM. Henry Har-
rison-the ninth President of the
United States-was the grandfather OF
Gen. Ben. Harrison.
The election ofanother member of the
Harrison family is but another proof of
the prevailing disposition of the public
to return to healthy administration OF
public affairs so characteristic of the
earlier years of government. A similar
desire has been manifested for revival
of early manners and customs in many
various ways, of which mention in par.
ticular can be made of the prevailing
demand for those old time preparations
which were so successfully employed in
prevention and cure of the ills and all.
ments which frequented the early log
cabin homes.
After much inquiry and research q
noted manufacturer has procured the
original methods used In their prepar'
alton and again under the name OF
Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, the
public is possessed of those well-known
preparations for the cure of coughs
colds, consumption in its early stages
blood disorders, catarrh, dyspepsia, de
libity, and other common disorders.
Notwithstanding the large amount
of time, attention and expense which
the manufacturer of Warmers Safe Cure
demands-its well-known reputation as
the only remedy for the prevention
and cure of kidney diseases being
world-wide--the manufacturer is resolv
ed to push the merit of Warmers Log
Cabin Sarsaparilla to the front because
of Its splendid blood purifying proper
ties and great value as household
remedy and spring-time system reno
vator.
Pocahontas, during her lifelong
friendship for the white settlers of Vir
ginia, besides her many acts of kind
ness, is said to have contributed much

ods employed by the Indians in tht

between herself and the President b.

Boil Worm VS.. Cotton Worm.

J. w. Brown, of Utica, Miss, writ
ing to the Home and Farm on the subject
of the cotton worm says: That as the time
is near when these pests will appear in our
cotton fields and sweep away part at least
of the results of our labor, it is the duty of
every farmer to give what information he
can.
The cotton worm appears at the same
time every year; that is the main crop.
There may be a light crop one month
earlier. Some places are always earlier than
others. We will put the time of their ap-
pearance on the first ten days of Septem-
Der. During the first of August
an unknown fly deposits its eggs in the bud
of the cotton very evenly over the crop,
scarcely missing single stalk In few
days this is an active boil worm doing its
work
There are three colors of them, light
green, striped and black. By the last of
the month they begin to hatch out and may
be seen flying through the cotton with tle
same marks in colors as the boil worm. AS
all cotton planters know this fly so well,
l will not describe it, but would call atten-
ton to the similarity of colors from the boil
to the cotton worm, and that in every state
the light green is first, striped second, and
black last to make their appearance. 1t
will be an easy matter for you to prove
this. Take six boil worms from the field,
put them where they cannot get away, feed
them daily until they crystalize and in less
than two weeks you will have at least one
ha1f e hot e T
few, if any, will agree with me that the
cotton worm is the offspring of the boil
worm.
But the closest observation, trials and
tests for the last quarter of a century
establish that fact to my satisfaction. That
unknown fly, for fly it must be, have
never been able to locate or eau | find any
person that knows what fly it is. The
nearest to it is fly that makes it's appear
ance exactly at the same time that the eggs
are deposited on the cotton. 1t feeds on
white cotton blooms, the same as the fly
that propagates the cotton worm. 1t flies
straight from northwest to southeast. and
never varies hairs breadth from that line
except when feeding. 1t makes its appear
ance between o'clock a. m. and D. m
Later in the season it comes earlier in the
day. 1t is about the size of the cotton
worm fly, but longer wings, standing more
upright, and is commonly called yellow
butterfly. 1t sticks very close to the top of
the cotton when crossing the fields. 1t is
certain that this fly has made its appear
ance for the last two years with the boil
worm.
give this hoping some brother farmer
will find out the right and inform the world
of 1t. 1t might lead to future benefits.

delt boy to her and her husband each was

supper for her and Mr.. Washington" for
they were of that illustrious race. The
oysters were baked in the Goals, the two
boys opened them, and the table waiter
handed them a continuous supply, which
they dipped into melted butter seasoned
with some favorite catsup. Crackers and
coffee were the accompanyments, and she
represented long sittings as the rule at

Farm and Stock Notes.

Old pastures that are overrun with weeds
can be best utilized for sheep, as they will
eat off the young weeds and keep them
down. Many weeds are valuable, so far as
their use for food is concerned, but are I'M
desirable in place of regular ssleable crops.
They can be utilized when young by past
uring sheep upon them, and if weeds are
not allowed to seed the grass will again
take possession of the field.
To secure young black-cap raspberry
plants the canes are bent over and tipped
INTO the ground, with clod resting hereon
TO hold each cane in position. These tips
take root and the old vine is then cut OFT.
The red raspberry reproduces itself by
sending out shoots around the parent vine.
They can be taken up in the fall and trans
planted, or it may be done very early in
the spring.
The application of potash salts to fruit
trees and vines seem to give better results
than ashes The question to be considered
in this connection is whether the potash of
tho hes first forms q salt with the acid Of
the sol before being utilized by plants. The
potash salts usually give lmmedlate results,
which Is not always the case with ashes.
After you remove the melon vines this
fall set out red raspberry plant on each
hill. The manure left over from the supply
given the melons will induce vigorous
growth of cane next season, and the plants
will be sufficiently close, as they will soon
thicken in the row. Keep the canes clean
until they are nearly ready to boar, and cut
them out if too thick.
The copious rains will make the grass
grow, and the hay crop should be good, but
rain makes the weeds grow also. Before
you are aware Of it field will be tn ckly
covered. The crab grass will now spring
up and take possession if allowed. 1t must
be killed when young if the job of so doing
is to be done with tue least expense for
labor.
Weeds make valuable food for hogs. 1t
is much better to feed the young and tender
weeds TO stock than to allow them to waste
On .some fields the weeds are often thick
enough to now. The pigweed and ragweed
make excellent hog food. Purslaine and
crab grass are highly relished by cattle and
swine.
Those who practice artificial incubation
claim that October is the time to begin
work for winter supply of broiers Last
season the early broilerS brought the best
prices. and this has encouraged incubator
operators to begin work a month sooner,
as broiler-raisingi is winter pursuit.
Late cabbage require good cultivation.
A plot Of cabbage that have been worked
will grow faster, and produce better heads
than will those that have received q larger
supply of manure and the cultivation neg
lected The ground around cabbages should
never be hard and baked.
To attempt to keep down strawberry run
ners requires constant work, as the vines
will send out new runners as faSt,a as the
first ones are cut away. Unless the work
is well done it is better to allow the first
runners that come to remain, as they will
be stronger and more vigorous than those
that are sent out by the vines later.

POnlllar ScienCa.

At former meeting of the British Asso-

an English savant noted for his methods
of systematic investigation and accurate
observation, presented a paper giving the
results of experiments made by placing
individuals in very powerful magnetic
fields, and it was found that there was no
difference in the temperature, circulation,
or any other physiological characteristics;
but the persons who would be likely to
read the advertisements of magnetic ap-
