1ous1 Cn1tnre for Corn.

Mr.. d. T. Bissell, writing to Colman e
Rural Word, says corn culture, TO be the
best success, must be managed with in
telIipence. There must be no free use
of the long pointed shovels to cut Oft
three-fourths of the rootlets, but the
cultivation must consist of a simple
stirring Of the surface with a view or
forming q mulch aud conserving the
moisture. The corn grower must not be
deceived By the impression that by cut
ting off the lateral roots he increases the
growth of the fbrous roots. Close OBJ
seryation reveals the fact that where the
ground is kept in good condition without
emitting the roots that frequently there Is
more fibrous rootlets found on one OF
those leading laterals than there is on
a whole hill where they are cut as IN or
binary culture with shOvels. And an
other delusion TO be guarded against Is
that there will be more deep running
roots when the roots in the upper soil are
cut of. Careful observation reveals the
fact that there are as many deep running
roots when the laterals are all saved as
when they are cut OFF and that they run
much deeper, position given every way
bv shallow tillage, except perhaps in crib
room at harvest time. So, if the farmer
fails TO get a good crop under ordinary
circumstances, let him blame himself.
There are implements for shallow tillage
that will do the work better, cheaper
and easier than shovels.
Mr., Bissell, now eighty years OF age,
has all his life been successful corn Gull
turist, and hence knows exactly what ne
is talking about.

patti snnrns a $1,000 Check.

Patti is about to leave us. and, unless she
changes her mind, viii never return 10 America
again. Her visit to this country added quite a
hundred thousand dollars to her bank account
and she may safely be rated to be worth
81 600 900 at least and the possessor of a match
less voice that will live in history as long as
there is any record of music. She Will not pc
sorry to leave us. During her last few weeks IN
She was so misrepresented in some OF her inter-
views in the Western newspapers that the very
name of q reporter made her Shiver. Inc eoltor
of q leading magazine spent three days trying 10
get a word with her. He hal a check signed TOT
$1,000 in his pocket which he was willing to oher
her for an article on the care OF tne VOICE; ne
could not even get glimpse or her, ana was
forced reluctantly to give up the task In despair.
BY the way, there is q distinguished tenor IN
this country at present who has gwen me rev
rules for the care of the voice that may be worth
needing. 1t is Edward Lloyd, the famous Eng
lish singer. He says that there IS no estao-
lished rule but he has found in his own case,
and in the case OF Sims Reeves, whose tenor
voice is still the admiration OF England,
that constant practice, dieting and deter
mined effort to get to bed early are three I'M
portant requisites that cannot be erlooked.
81 occupy my morning, said Mr.. LLOYD, IN
practicing I dine at 2 O'Clock, an unearthly
hour. TO be sure-and take nothing except some
tea before going to the concert in the evening.

AS Mr. Lloyd is in the pink of condition and
his voice is one of remarkable purity and sweet
ness, he may be supposed to know what ne Is
talking about.

storehouse for carbonic acid, the form IN
which plants derive their carbon,
II is also the medium through when
they receive a great part of their nitro
gen.
"Humus acts, - says Lebig, sin the
same manner in a soil permeable TO air
as the air itself; 1t is a continuous source
OF carbonio acid, which it emits very
slowly. An atmosphere of carbonio ACID
formed at the expense of the air sur
rounds every particle of deoaying hu-
mus. The cultivation of land by loosen
ing the soil causes free and unobstruct-
ed access of air. An atmosphere OF car
bonic acid is therefore contained in ev-
cry fertile soil, and is the first and most
important food for the young plants
which grow in it. -
Upon this action OF humus rests It's
chief value. Unless carbonic ACID ana
ammonia are In the soil in proper guam
THY profitable crops need not be expected
from it. The little of these derived from
the atmosphere if any such is utilized
goes a very little way toward making
crop.
Stable manure is the only humus-pro-
viding fertilizer that is generally availa-
Bile for farm use, but no farmer ever had
enough of it to make it act the part of a
humus- provider 10 the extent of his
needs.
Experience in this country, as well as
in older countries, proves that humus
can be proftably restored to land only by
working into If some kind of vegetable
matter. 1t don t so much matter what
this is, or whence it comes. 1t may be
grown directly on the land and turned
under. as in the case of clover or field
peas, OF it may be brought from some
other locality, but it must be got there
by some means to insure the best results .
1t is not an uncommon thing for our
farmers TO burn off their litter, at the
breaking of their land, to get it out OF
the way of the pillow This is radically
wrong in every case-it should be turned
into the soil, for it is exactly what every
soil stands III need Of.

The Panhandle Machinery and improvement


Everyone in Texas who has use for
anything in the way of Pumps, Well
Machinery, Windmills, or, in fact, any
class of steam or hydraulic supply goods,
should know that the above Fort Worth
company is the standard supply house of
the state in this line. This company
contracts to erect city. ranch, suburban,
or any class of waterworks. Parties de-
string to investigate the class of work
which this company does have
only to come to this city
and look over the work they are
doing here. We mention few of the
contracts under way or already completed
by them here at home. The artesian
we'll on fuckers Hill is being put down
by this company under contract with the
city to drill to the depth of 1000 teet, or
until flow of 500, 900 gallons per twenty
four hours is obtained. They have one of
the heaviest and best deep well rigs in
the state at work on this well, and have
already reached the depth of four hun
dred and twenty-five feet. They are
pushing the work with a double crew of
men, working day and night. This COM
pany has just completed the beautiful
windmill at the residence of Mr.. E. E.
Chase. This is probably the finest wind
mill to be found in the South. The water
supply at the stookyards has also been
constructed by this home company, and
they have just completed the water SER
vice on the extension of the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande. three full water sta
tons.
The famous U. s. Solid Wheel Wind
mill, acknowledged by stockmen to be
the best and most serviceable mill ever
introduced in Texas, was brought out by
this company.
Ranohmen visiting Fort Worth are
cordially invited to call at the company s
store, corner First and Throckmorton
streets. and look over the different ma
chimes for supplying water for the range.
They can save many hundreds of dollars
to any one having extensive improve
ments to make, as their system of ranch
water supply has the merit of accom-
plishing the most for the least money.

One-Ralf of New York Suffering from Dys
pepsia

There never was time in all my expert
ence, - said DR.. Charles Perry to me the other
day, when so many men and women COM
planned of dyspepsia. Fully one-haf of New
York suffers from it, DR.. Perry knows what
he is talking about. For twenty years he has
sold drugs in the vicinity of Printing House
square, where busy men and women hive to-
gether like bees. Indigestion has become the
great American evil. During the past four
or five years there has been an enormous in
crease in dinner giving, and New York now
rivals, if not equals. either London or Paris in
the number and variety of big dinners given
during an evening. How men manage to pre-
serve their digestive organs is mystery. But l
that he sells more medicine for indigestion and
dyspepsia in one day now than he did in
could a tale unfold ON this subject OF Over-eat-
ing. 1t has really become crime against
nature. and is one Of the most alarming symp-
toms of our too rapid civilization.

Two Governors Who May Be Struck by
Presidential Lightning.

Presidential Lightning.
Two men who are likely to be important figures
in the next national Democratic convention are
often seen in New York. They are both COVER
nors of states and have the presidential itch in
its worst form. Leon Albeit is one Of these.
He is of about medium height. He wears full,
gravish beard and his hair is of the same color.
His shoulders stoop trife, and although he
looks to be calm, he is really very nervous, he
is good public speaker and an excellent story
teller. He is said to be Germans choice for the
Governor Campbell OF Ohio is the other pres
jdential possibility who is often seen in New
York He is perhaps, one of the handSomest
governors in the Union. He has a clean cut
distingue appearance that never fails to make
people look at him twice. Nearly six feet in
height, well proportional, always superbly
dressed in nobby New York style, polite but
not patronizing in manners, when he stands IN
the corridor of a hotel byStanders are apt to
ask, ''Who is the young-looklng, handsome
man?'' He is young looking, although he has
an iron-gray mustache and his dark hair is
streaked with gray. The fine effect of his thick
blacKish gray hair is seen on his temples when
he has his hat on. 1t seems to bring out more
clearly his finely chiseled face. His eyes are
dark and peculiarly bright, as If he had used
belladonna. But nature is the only belladonna
he uses He appears to be forty years old. His
ways are breezy and his frankness wins him
hosts of friends.
Neither will admit that he is IN the race for the
presidential nomination.
They know how futile it is to chase shadows.

Graasine Against Files.

The Rural New Yorker says some per-
sons make practice of greasing an
imals to prevent them from being tor
mented by flies. This is all radically
wrong, for grease applied to the body a
sany animal stops up the pores of ting
skin and prevents perspiration and the
cntaneous removal of effete matter from

body smeared, the more serious the
tsbuble. If the whole body were thickly
Covered with grease, the result would bs

AN EGG WITH WINDOWS,
Observing the Progress of Incubation
Through Piece of Glass.

Observing the Progress of Incubation
Through Piece of Glass.
A French scientist who removed the
shell on either side of an egg, without
injuring the membrane, in patches about
the size of the diameter of a pea, and
snugly fitted the openings with bits Of
glass, gives the following report of the
wonderful experiment.: placed the egg
with the glass bulls eyes in an incubator,
run by clock work and revolving once
each hour, so that had the pleasure Of
looking through and watching the
change upon the inside at the end of
each sixty minutes. No changes were
noticeable until after the end of the
twelfth hour, when some of the Inca
ments of the head and body Of the chick
made their appearance. The heart ap-
cared to beat at the end of the twenty
fourth hour, and in forty-eight hours
two vessels of blood were distinguished,
the puIsations being quite visible.
At the fiftieth hour an auricle of the
heart appeared, much resembling a lace
or moose folded down upon itself. At
the end of seventy hours we distin-
guished wings and two bubbles for the
brain, one for bill, and two others for
the forepart and hindpart of the head,
The liver appeared at the end of the fifth
day. At the end of 131 hours the first
voluntary motion was observed. At the
end of l35 hours the lungs and stomach
had become visible, and four hours later
the intestines, the lOins, and the upper
mandible could be distinguished. The
Shiny matter of the brain began to take
form and become more compact at the
beginning of the seventh day.
At the 190th hour the bill first opened
and flesh began to appear on the breast.
At the 194Jh the sternum appeared. At
the cloth hour the ribs had begun TO put
out from the back; the bill was quite
visible, as was also the gall bladder. At
the beginning OF the 236th hour the bill
had become green, and it was evident
that the chick could have moved had it
been taken from the shell. Four hours
more and feathers had commenced tc
shoot out and the skull TO become gTistly
At the 264th hour the eyes appeared,
and two hours latsT the ribs were per
feet. At the S31.% hour the spleen drew
up to the stomach and the lungs 10 the
chest. When tho incubator had turned
the egg 335 times the bill was frequently
opening and closinG, as if a chick were
gasping for breath. When 451 hours
had elapsed we heard the first cry of the
little imprisoned biDed. From that TINT
forward he grew rapidly, and came out
full-fedged chick at the proper time
