Knocked Down and Fined Besides.

Last night about 10 o'clock young man
named Joseph Velati, who was under the in
fence of liquor, was at the corner of Louisiana
avenue and 9th street with several of his
friends. David Rocco keeps fruit stand there
and Velati was abusing him. The Italian fruit
seller did his best to get rid of the young man
without trouble, but the latter struck the Italian
and knocked him down. Just then some one came
to Roccos assistance and dealt Velati blow that
sent him to the pavement. For a few minutes
he remained apparently unconscious and then
he was taken to the sixth precinct station,
where the wounds on his head were dressed
This morning he was taken to the Police Court
and fined So for profanity.

Some Examples OF the Fcrocious Audaci-

The Madras Times chronicles the do

During 1880 the monster carried of
human lives at the rate OF one week.
This year the proportion has doubled.'
The tiger is known as the man-eater OF
Tintalakunti. 1t makes the plains and
mountains OF Murangapon and Kala-
hundi, in the district of Vizagapatam,
the field of its operations. The Gov

Last year the man-eater swallowed
fifty-two men, and this year, from the

six.

Blown Through . snoks.staok aad
Caught On . Rod.
Friday, June 30, Frederick Miller and
David Heller, two employees ct the fur
mace ct the rolling-mills, were killed by
. premature explosion Of Hercules BOW.
der while blasting out salamander from
the bottom Of the furnace, says the Bra
zil Times. Miller was standing directly
over the drilled hole at the time Of the
explosion and was terribly torn and dis
figured. Both arms wore blown OF, but
one was found. Every effort to find the
other arm proved fruitless until month
later. The workmen saw an object
clinging to one Of the stsy-rods that
help to support and keep in position the
stacks on the top of the furnace.
Through curiosity they climbed to tho
top and they saw sight that not only
filled them with horror but with wonder.
There in full sight Of all was . mans
hand. with only the stub Of an arm at
tached, tightly clasping the rod above
mentioned. There can be no doubt but
that the hand is that Of the unfortunate
Miller. The only theory known for the
strange freak Of the bodyless hand is
that the hand was blown out tho top Of
the high stack, and In coming down the
muscles. still active, contracted whom
the hand struck the rod and fastened to
IT with deadly grip. From the posi-
tion In which Miller was standing the
hand could not have reached the posi-
ton 1t occupied other than in the above
manner. The muscles could not have
relaxed much after hrst contracting else
the hand would have fallen.

kind of grass or some kind Of clover. OF
the latter either alsika or alfalfa would
be sure TO do well on it. The low land
crop should be perennial that will not
require resolving every year. Prairie
farms would be largely improved in ap-
pearance at least IL these wild low lands
were cleared up and put to good use.
Mr.. Wallace is not much mashed on
the regular hay business, but thinks these
lowlands ought TO produce hay enough
for home use. Agricultural papers are
often telling us to go to grass. he says,
but the fact remains that ''grass is the
poorest paying crop that we can raise on
good tillable land, except as it comes in
its place in the needed rotation. 1t very
seldom pays to NOW a meadow more
than one year. The average meadow
does not yield more than two tons of hay
at its best, and frequently not more than
one ton The hay is worth not enough
in the stack to pay as much as most other
crops would pay.
The prairie farmer of the future must
raise more stuff on a smaller Enclosure.
Unused land is SO much dead stock on
hands. It is q taxable property bring
ing IN no returns. We must make every
foot of ground on the farm pay its share
every year. There IS too much waste
land on every farm. 1t will all be
needed hereafter

Sea Island Cotton.

Do you think Sea island or long staple cotton
could be made to succeed in Northern Texas? A
neighbor of mine, who formerly lived in Geor-
gia says he feels sure that it would do as well
here Us anywhere else. If you think it would
succeed here, where could send for peck or
so of seedf would like to give it q test if there
is any probability of our being able TO make
anything out of it. FARMER.
Tarrant county, Texas.
We are satisfied that an att0mpt to
make anything out OF sea island cotton III
Northern Texas would amount to simply
labor in vain, IS the crop calls for pc
culiar conditions which have no existence
here. Chief among these conditions is a
continuously moist atmosphere, which is
not at all a popularity of our region. On
account of this requirement sea island
cotton can be grown only very near the
sea coast, aud never ut any great alti-
tude above sea level. The plant would
doubtless make a fine showing here,
fruiting to perfection, but the bolls
would never open.
We think It highly probably, indeed
almost q certainty, that sea island cot
ton might be made q splendid success in
Texas on the low lands adjacent to the
Gulf of Mexico. Every condition needed
for the crop exists there.

More s.Ynnk,s,, Needed.

Mr.. F. Z. Roesler of the United states
artesion well com mission, who has been
looking over the water supply of North
ern Texas. reports that in some counties
like Eastland, Palo Pinto and q number
of others salt or mineral water is OBJ
tanned at thirty or sixty feet, and water
for household use must be stored in els
terms. In nearly all of these counties
there are thousands OF locations for
small storage reservoirs varying from
one-half to sixty acres. Many of the
rayines are worthless for agricultural
purposes, and could be put to excellent
use in this manner. AS a rule the soils
are composed of clay that is excently
adapted to the construction of
dams, and when built of this material
they will hold water like jug. Tanks
made in these ravines might be used for
purposes of irrigation, thus converting
the region into magnificent
farming country. The rainfall is sufi-
oient to make good farming on
the sandy loans. but the clayey soils
shed more water and absorb less, in con-
sequence of which the crops suffer more
during n dry spell than they do on sandy
coils. The wells. where they are situated
on clay lands dry out during drouth
while the wells on sandy soil are lasting.
There are very few farms on the clay
lands where reservoir could not be built
with a few days labor. II all the farmers
between the ninety-seventh and Tooth
meridans would devote some of their
time to the construction of permanent
water dams they could soon bring about
for the region q marked change for the
better. The water detained in the reser-
vo!rs during the rain storms would not
reach the hundreds of creeks that are
dry half the year and angry torrents the
other half. Every year several million
dollars are lost through disastrous over
flows, all of which could be avoided.
The seepage from these thousands of
tanks or reservoirs would be apt to keep
water in the wells, and create thousands
of springs where there are none now.
The creeks would in consequence carry
water all the year. If necessary to irri-
gate the water would be at hand. The
matter is one that ought to be looked
into and encouraged.
