BROWN DHOURA CORN.


gard 10 different plants said 20 bo the
plant Of the west, to which / would like
TO add my experience. have lived in
western Kansas for FIVE years and have
tried nearly every kind Of corn, maize,
sorghum and dhoum, 10 find something
that would make q good crop In dry
weather, and find them all 70 fail but
one, VIZ, Brown DhOura corn. Three
years ago we got a small quantity Of seed
from Pennsylvania. Il did splendid,
but the chickens and birds destroyed IL
nearly all, so we only had a few heads
for seed. The next spring we planted
about two acres, and II made a splendid
crop, where Kaflir corn and Milo Maize
nearly failed. We had more grain on
two acres of brown Dhoura corn than we
had on thirty-hve acres Of Milo Maize
and Kafilr corn. This year we planted a
good sized field Dhoura corn and a
small patch of KafIlr corn, Milo Maize
and broom corn, just to give them an
other trial. They we're planted about the
10th Of May, and from that time on till
July Z there was not enough rain 20
sprout or bring up anything. The brown
Dhoura corn grew right on through the
drouth and was nearly ready to head
when the first rain came, ON the 7th OF
July, while the Kaflr corn, broom corn
and Milo Maize got about ten inches
high and just dried up. We didn't get
any feed of Of the Milo maize, but we
did get some of the KafIir corn, some
that did not die till after the July rains.
Brown Dhoura corn will make from
twenty TO thirty bushels Of corn 10 the
acre where Kafllr corn and Milo maize
will not make any grain. IL will make a
fair crop where everything else falls II
Is simply the perfection Of all the malzes
and dhouras. II stands without q rival,
king OF the west This Is no fine polished
statement, but the genuine truth. have
never seen It grow In good year, but II
IL does as we'll accordingly in good
year II will yield enormously, Our crop
this year weighed So pounds TO the bush
el; standard weight, go pounds. Ka6ir
corn has been said to yield 30 70 go bush
els. Now have given this plant fair
trial, and the best piece Of II l ever raised
would not yield over % bushels TO the
acre, and / have raised more Of IL that
did not yield 8 bushels TO the acre than /
ever raised that yielded 10 bushels to the
acre. have experimented with nearly
every plant Of every kind TO fnd a sure
cropper, and find brown Dhoura the best.
II any farmer In Kansas wishes any In
formation In regard TO any plant / can
give It TO him. Brown Dhoura corn Is
the earliest maturing, largest headed,
smallest stalked and smallest rooted OF
all the Dhouras or Malzes. The grain is
excellent for hogs, horses and chickens,
surpassed by corn only. The stalks are
splendid for forage. II will make two
crops Of forage where Milo Maize only
makes one. II all sections where 1t Is
difficult to grow corn brown Dhours corn
ls the plant. When western Kansas
plants 1t for main crop It will be great
grain field, instead Of dried up plain as
1t is now. This may seem 70 be q big
story, but 1t Is fact just the same. AG

Programme.

It has been a long time since a
brighter or fairer st. Patricks's day
dawned IN the northwest than that Of
last Monday. AS had been previously
arranged, the Ancient Older of Hibern-
ians of Minneapolis and Saltwater,
with members from Anoka, Hastings
and other towns as well, were on hand
at st. Paul in the early morning and
joined their brethren there in making
the event the most important and i'm
posing Of its nature eyer before wit
messed In Minnesota. Too much praise
cannot be given to the committee under
whose charge the eventful day was con-
Quoted IN our sister city. Everything
was done that could be done to make it
pleasant and agreeable to all and moth
ing occurred to mar an occasion SO
particularly dear to the Irish Catholic
heart. The Hibernian Rifles of Min
neapolis were present almost to 8 man
and the different divisions turned nutin
solid phalanx to the number of about
800. From the city by the falls also
came the gentlemen comprising the
silk hat contingent. numbering about
100 men, who joined In the procession
with a similar body in St. Paul-to-.
gether making most creditable ap-
pearauce. For this body of men Thos.
Murphy, of Minneapolis, acted IN the
capacity Of marshal.
In the early morning the different di
visions OF st. Paul Aibernlans met and
marched to the union depot, where the
Minneapolis and Saltwater delegations.
were met at 10 clock, and with No. s
the Youngest division in the city-at
the head, the united forces assembled
In line at a. O. H.. hall and marched
from there to the cathedral. where high
mass was celebrated. Father Corcoran
said mass, assisted by Father Harrison,
and Father Heferin preached the ser
mon enlogistlc Of 1Teland's patron
saint. Around the cathedral vast
crowd, numbering over 5000 people,
unable to gain entrance, blocked the
streets and sidewalks SO that passage
was well nigh impossible. Directly
after the ceremonies the procession
formed again, with greatly augmented
numbers, and proceeded to parade
through the principal streets, the line
of march being toISeven Corners, down
Third to Broadway, to Eighth, to Rob

What 1t Means-"The Stitch in Time"
Scarcely day passes that one does not hear of
men and women whom picture the perfection
of health and strength. as being stricken down by
the terrible disease pneumonia.
Perhaps the greatest cause OF pneumonia in this
country is the extreme difference in temperature
between the interiors OF Offices and homes and the
outside air. So long people consider it necessary
Tor their comfort to maintain a hot-house tempera-
ture indoors, when the mercury very low outside,
SO long will pneumonia find victims.
The greatest care and prompt measures should be
taken upon tie first approach of the slightest symp
OF pneumonia If you have tickling in the throat,
tightness in the chest, pain in the head. chilly
feeling or pains throughout the body, act promptly.
act wisely-brIng about immediate reaction.
This can sometimes be accomplished by quick and
violent exercise, but that is eIhaustng and wastes
the strength, which should be husbalded. A far
better plan is to take pure and strong stimuiant
which will tend to equalize the circulation, check
forms OF stimulation. but only that be rec
This is the only medicinal whskey upon the market
and Its purity and power by is popular-
ty. 1t has saved the lives of more men and women
who were candidates for pneumonia than any dis

serves to stand, at the head OF medicinal stmuants

of the fort and the riHe-pits. the survivors
had time to look about them. Directly
above Petefkin's head was a wind-saii,
placed about six feet above the gun-deck.
This sail was found to be perforated in every
part by the bullets of the enemy, and every
man tail enough had received some injury,
with the exception of Peterkin, whose feet
l inch brought his head down nearly to the
level Of the bulwark and was the means OF
saving it, as the bulwarks were literally
ridded with mimic balls.
1t was the closest call that he ever had,
and he has never since had occasion to re-
greet the fact that he was not as big as other
men. The Naugatuck was sent to WASH
ington after the fight for repairs, and Peter
kin was temporarily detailed to direct bat
terry at Harper's Ferry, after which he was
returned to the navy.
In the attack on the Confederate ram
Albemarle, Peterkin had charge of one OF
the cutters, and felt much hurt because he
had not been detailed with the party d.
rectly under Cushing. He, however. res
cued the survivors and was the first to re.
port the destruction of the famous rebel
monster. For his services on this occasion
he received the nice little sum of $1,000 from
the Government. After his muster out he
settled down in New York, and for the past
twenty-five years has been in Uncle Sans
employ as customs inspect0r.-N. Y. Press.

AN OPIUM SNAKE.
Clever Seizure Made by a Gus.
toms Inspector.

Shortly before noon yesterday the Custom
house Inspectors on duty at the foot of
Broadway got possession of a quautity OF
contraband opium, which, but for their
watchfulness, would have been struggled
ashore in a novel manner.
The steamer City of Puebla, Captain Deb
ney. arrived in port late Saturday night, and
made fast on the north side OF Broadway
Wharf l. As she came from Victoria, a
foreign port, a Custom-house searching
force was plac ed on board as soon as she
locked and made q thorough search OF the
ship, but found nothing contraband. Yes
terday morning Inspectors John Critcher
and p. II. Barrett were placed on guard on
the steamer, Criteher being on the deck on
the nff-Shore side.
While patroling the deck and keeping his
eyes on the water GRETCHEN observed pecu-
liar looking object in the slip. 1t was about
feet in length, with snake like appearance
and was Swlrling around in the tide eddleS
between the Puebla and the steamer Los
Angeles, which was moored on the opposite
side of the slip. After watching it for some
time and getting suspicious, the inspector
told Miner Mullaney, a bOatman who was In
the slip in his Whitehall to see what it was.
Mullaney could not make out what the queer
looking object was, so Crltcher told him to
tow it to the Vallejo-street boat-steps SO that
l
to the bOat-StepS to meet the boat
As soon as the boat made fast. Critcher
cut open the floating package and found that
it contained opium. The dope was done
I'D in eleven packages, each covered with
oiled cloth, and connected like string OF
sausages In all there were 295 fye-lael
boxes, and the total value of the find is about
$1,000 A few minutes after the stuff was
found the Custom-house launch Hartley
passed up the stream. She was hailed, and
the opium placed on board and taken to the
mail dock.
The contraband opium was in all proba-
hility Struggled in by some of the crew OF
the City of Puebla who dropped it over
board from one of the side ports, thinking
that it would float down with the ebb tide
that was just making and would be picked
up by cor federate further down the bay.
The eddy caused the bags TO stop in the slip
until the watcnful inspector got his eye on
them.

PlCKPOCKETs CAUGHT.
Two Detectives Run Across Their Men by
Mere Accident.

Two Detectives Run Across Their Men by
Mere Accident.
George Murray and John Johnson, alias
Connors, have been wanted by the police for
the past three weeks and Detectives Dan
Coffey and. Seymour have been on their
track since. The crimes that they are
thought to have committed consisted of the
picking of several pockets at the junction of
Jackson and Mason streets, near the Powell
street engine-house. Last evening the
officers strayed out to the end of the
Hayes-street cable road and while knock
ing around saw three men pick a
woman's pocket near the Oak-sireet
entrance of Golden Gate Park. When called
upon to surrender the men ran and were
chased by the officers, who overhauled two
of them near the Geary-street entrance. The
purse was found On the person of Murray.
1t contained 10 cents. When Coffey and
Seymour returned, the woman whose pocket
had been picked had departed. The men
were charged at the Central Police Station
with grand larceny. The presence of the
woman is desired at the Office of the Chief
of Police that she may identify the purse, so
as to make case against the thieves.
