Queer Indian superstitions.
ST Paul Pioneer Press,


The superstition of the Pagan religious
il well illustrated by an anecdote rslslS1
of traveller in India. One Of the on'
merous temples contains couple Ct rsl'
les OF the god to whom It Is dedicaiea,
one of which is the last foot print I9s.,
on the earth by the god before ascenoIi,SS
TO heaven. This foot print is in the ~.
rocks, showing that the god gave ts
orous push to start himself wen Oh
way, and it il about two feet in lens..'
showing that he was OF 81,
heroic stature. The other I9a.
is tooth OF the god. sOIs
years ago the temple was captured
Europeans and the sacred tooth -.
ground to powder and thrown into 80
river by the irreverent csptors. Bu' =. =
particles of the tooth came together,
the priests say, and assumed their Or
nal shape, and the perfect tooth
found reposing on leaf. 1t was es
fally replaced in the altar OF the tsmf 4
insids of nine golden Baskets, Wnsle
remains to this day. The blind va
shippers believe It to be the oEiginsl ct Il
OF their god, and their faith Is nos 80,

Broomeorn Culture.

It Is probably too late in the season for
thinking OF planting broomcorn in Texas
for this year, though the crop would
doubtless mature all well enough started
any time in May. The objection to start
ing crop 30 late lies in the TACT that it
would miss much Of the early season,
which il considered the best season for
the growth of crops But progressive
Texas is constantly casting about for
good crops that she can make pay es-
peciaIly we'll. and hence an article on
broomcorG culture may be regarded as
in order at any time, for there viii be
crops put in next year, ana IL is in the
preceding year that people lay their D Ians
for the year TO follow.

Mr.. Fred Gates of Louisiana writes to
the Manufacturers' Record that for ali
frying purposes refined cotton seed oil 10
better than the best lard on the market;
then it has special advantages in being
pure and clean. It cannot be adulter-
ated with anything from impure sources,
for the reason that it is ohesper by far
than the cheapest lard. Two-thirds OF .

The Pioneer canal com pany OF Peeos,

from ordinary garden crops. In the case
of the crop giving profit of $50 per acre +,
the cost of production is found to be
S4S. 80 per acre; in the case of the crop
yielding profit of $50 per acre, the cos t
of production was S6l.40 per acre.
But the product of beets was twenty-six
tons per acre, only attainable for sugar
purposes where the stand is perfect, and
the thinning SO complete that each plant
gets its full modicum of nourishment
from the soil. The point aimed at in
this last is that the sugar beet requires
careful culture for best success. It is
no lazy-man's crop. But about as
much may be said for any other prolta-
BILE crop. We can u get something from
nothing, and long keep it up. So to
convey any reasonable idea as to what
Texas might do with the sugar beet, on
a large scale, the test experiments
should be thorough.

Little More Light.


MIR. William Tomas, of Dallas, writing
to the Texas Farm and Ranch with ref
erence to fruit culture in Texas, says q
certain person being asked what was
most needed for the success of certain
thing, said; ''More light" "Any-
thing else?" eyes; a little more
light" And this, he says, in his estab-
lIshed opinion, based upon life expert
ence among fruits, is what is now most
wanted by our people. Almost every
state in the Union is sending to Texas for
our consumption something that could be
grown here as good and often better and
at as little cost as in those states on which
we are dependent. Does that thought
hurt worse? Well, there is no help for
it, except in one way; let go your shoul-
der from the store corner, it won't fall;
never mind If the door frame of your
postofiee should sag without you as
prop, let it sag; put up your knife, why
wear it out on your neighbof 9
wood boxI Go home resolved to
grow something and to make it a success.
Texas will grow it successfully if you
give her & fair chance-no doubt about
that. So give her that fair chance. If
you don't know how, why then read up,
get q little more light.
Handling this same subject an editorial
In the horticultural Journal of Denison,
says our success in any branch of Texas
agriculture or horticulture depends
largely on our knowledge OF the best
methods, varieties, etc. The time spent
In the study of cur agricultural litera-
ture will be time we'll spent. Stormy
days and long evenings afford good op-
portpnities of study, which should not be
neglected. Even the catalogues of our
nurseries contain many good things.
Order them and examine them carefully

Poisoning the Curen1io.

1t has been recommended to spray plum
and peach trees with London purple or
Paris green to destroy the plum ourculio.
Our experience has convinced us that
this would do no good. The parent
beetle of the curcullo does not eat the
fruit, but simply makes puncture into
which to deposit her eggs. While this
might bring her in contact with the
poison, 1t would not cause her. to take
any of it internally. Mere contact with
arsenical poisons does not destroy insect
life.

To Lands of Sun.

When old Boreas breathes on the
lakes and rivers of the north, binding
them in fetters of ice, there is great
deal of outdoor sport to be enjoyed by
those who are endowed with rugged
constitutions. But there are many who
dread the approach of winter, and would
migrate to Glands of sun" if they could
be sure of comfortable journey, and
knew where to go. Among the lands
that are sunny in winter are the south
ern coast of the United States, and Cali
fornia the golden. There are numerous
winter resorts in both sections, but for
those who have time for longer ride,
nothing can equal trip to Old Mexico
There one is in a country where people,
climate, customs and productions are all
wonderously different from anything in
Uncle Sans domain. "The Burlington"
has two lines of its own seuthward-to

see much wrong righted and much good
done before it's close. The APPEAL has

ions do my work! Eight black mems
souls sent to my dominions forever; and
100 white mems souls blackened by the
crime Of murder. The work goes brave
ly onp' After all the centuries which
the whites have had for the refining in
huences Of civilization it has not been
sufficient to show it's effects in the "New
South" Barbarians stalk about and woe
betide the human being who crosses
their path if by the will of God his skin
be black and his hair kinkey. The Col
ored people of the Soath have suffered
long but the time is coming when they
will be goaded to that degree of despera-
ton that they will seek revenge, and
then many innocent ones will suffer.
Already the rumbling of the coming
storm may be heard in that apparently
God forsaken section. There are a
number Of Brewers in the South, anu
when forbearance is no longer virtue
the land will be deluged with blood.
What country is this that announces
itself as the haven of refuge for the op-
pressed and down trodden of all nations,
and welcomes to its shores aliens from
other lands and ensures them protection,
yet seems to be unable to protect its
native born citizens. Those eight men
were doomed to death in any case as
their accusers were white, the court be-
fore whom they would have an alleged
trial would be white, the jury would be
white, and each and every one filled
with the hell-born prejudice against
color, so, what show had they even in a
legal trial. No, their white brothers
Cain like thirsted for blood and could
not wait the slow wheels of justice. (?)
The murderers will never be brought to
justice on this earth and they know it
but God is not dead and if there is such
thing as future punishment they will
surely get it, and We hope the devil will
he as merciless as they have been.

CAUGHT IN TIE AIT.

We have known for some time that
the Conservator, local Chicago paper,
has been appropriating news from THE
APPEAL without giving US proper credit
therefor. The last issue of the Conser-
vator contains no less than seven items
stolen from The APPEAL. Some of this
is regular associated press matter which
Bro. Barnett could, if he would take the
trouble clip from the dailies. There
is no copyright on news of this kind and
it is usually taken from the dailies with
out credit as it is the same in all the
papers of the associated press, but it is
evidently unfair for The APPEAL ex-
change editor to prepare matter and then
lave it taken bodily by some other pa
per, We caught the Conservator by
printing in The APPEAL of Dec. ID, the
following decoy item:
AT Thaxton, Tenn, Mrs. Lou. Jones
aged only IS, gave birth to nine pound
boy. She has been married two years. -
This had no foundation in fact, and
originated wholly in the brain of the
editor. It was trap set for the purpose
OF catching thief, and the Conservator
walked right into the trap, for the item
slightly changed in wording appeared
in their issue of Dec. 21. If the editor
of the Conservator hasn't time to pre-
pare matter for his paper he is perfectly
welcome to clip from The APPEAL but he
should not use our original matter with
out credit. The 13-year-old-mother
item is original; it originated in the mas
sive brain of our exchange editor.
