SOWING OATS.
Have Every Thing Ready for This Earl,
Crop.

Have Every Thing Ready for This Early
Crop.
Oats is one of the earliest crops to be
sown in the spring. and it is quite an
item to have every thing in readiness so
that as soon as the condition of the soil
will admit the seeding can be done
Where a regular system of rotation is
carried on, oats should follow corn.
While in some respects they may not be
so profitable as corn, yet, if properly
managed, they make good feed for
stock, furnish both grain and roughness
and add to the variety.
There are number of different ways
of sowing the oats in the spring; but
whichever plan is followed, care should
be taken as far as possible to make the
necessary arrangements in advance so
that the work can be done early.
A few farmers still follow the old
plan of blowing the ground in the
spring, sowing the oats broadcast and
narrowing them in. Sometimes, if the
ground is re ugh, the roller is used to
level down aud fine the soil. This is
the siowest way, as much time can be
saved by blowing the land in the fall,
then sowing the oats in the spring, and
narrowing 10 cover. On stubble LAM
this would lessen the work that is to
be done IN the spring, With corn-stub

But I tell my love that heart for heart

A curious little article about "a Fish

bald's Ransom" is ballad, by Mary
Bradley, OF the brave Crusader an
cestor of the present British Minister of
Washington, Sir Julian Pauncefote,
whose drawer lady gave her right hand
to ransom her lord from the Saracens.
The unusually clever short stories of
the number include the strange true ac-
count Of "Aunt Dolly's Two Robbers"
by Sydney Quarles, Diamonds and
Toads," by Mrs. Burton Harrison (au-
thor of 1.-THE Anglomaniacs", and 9TH

who established cotton weaving in
France and thereby became the friend
of Napoleon. Miss Runners drawing

An Indian Ark.

The Messiah craze among the Indians
of the North, West and Northwest re-
wives interest in any thing that pertains
to the queer delusions and beliefs that
have been rife among the different
tribes for the last century. 1t is remem-
bered now that in 1888 the Sanpoels, a
small tribe in what was then Washing
ton Territory, became greatly agitated
over the teachings of an old chief who
professed to believe that another flood
was near at hand. He said that the
Great Spirit had commanded him to
collect tribute and build an ark that
would outride the waves. His great
canoe, lie 2SS feet, is still to be seen
in an unfinished condition near one of
the tributaries of the Columbia.

Deafness Can't To Cured

only one way to cure Deafness and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inilamed condition of the mu

this tube gets inhamed you have rumbling

unless the inflammation can be taken oui

BILE or stalk land, II the cultivation has
been reasonably clean the season preyi-
GUS the seed can be sown broadcast
worked into the soil with the cultlvator
and then narrowed into IA good tilth.
Some prefer TO use The disc harrow or the
spring-tooth cultivator MS these put the
soil into better filth with less labor
than with the old style of diamond
shovel cultivator. Both the disc har-
row and the spring-tooth cultivator
have broadcast seeding attachm Hnts
that will SOW the seed broadcast and
the teeth or discs will work it into the
soil. Unless the soil is very loose and
pliable it will be best to harrow down
with n spiIe-tooth harrow TO finish up
the seeding. The drill is used in some
cases, but the results are not as 4 rule
satisfactory, as in the drill row the
plants do not have good opportunity
to tiller out. One advantage with the
broadcast seeders with the harrow on
cultivator is that the work can be done
more rapidly, and thus in the spring
when work is always more or less press
ing is is quite an item.
The roots of the oat plant grow neat
the surface, and it is an important
item to work the soil into good filth.
1t is not necessary to stir the soil deep
Use plenty of seed; on average land two
bushels of seed per acre will be about
the right quantity. Scatter as evenly
as possible. One advantage with the
broadcast seeders is that the seed will
be sown more evenly than is possible
by hand. Oats will stand light freeze
with less injury than the hot, dry sur
in July, and for this reason it is i'm
portant to get the work done early

RAMlE CULTURE.
Preparations for the Extensive Cultiva-
ton of Ramie in Texas.

Preparations for the Extensive Cultiva-
ton of Ramle in Texas.
The stock in the enterprise for the es-
Establishment of the ramie industry in
Texas has been secured. The stock
holders met recently at Galveston to or
ganize a company which will be incor-
porated under the laws of the State of
Texas. The capital stock is $4,000,
divided into 100 shares of the par value
of 800 each, and the subscribers in
clude the substantial business men of
Galveston. That the movement will
prove successful every precedent in
this undertaking has established be-
yond question. The facts and fig
ures prove it. The consumption
of ramie is even now enor-
nous and still on the increase. Its
use is simply unlimited, and one house
in France can use 10000 tons of the
material per month. Nurseries will be
at once established and the Fremery
decorticating process will be used for
preparing the material for the market.
In due time a ramie and jute factory
will be esta blishcd in Galveston.
For the important part that ramic
plays in the commerce of this country,
very little is known of it in this section.
Some idea can be got of its commercial
Importance when it is stated that last
year this country imported $50 900, 900
worth of jute ramie and flax, paying
over $40, OOO 600 duty on it, making in the
aggregate about S50,0OO,OOO. This,
too, in the face of the fact that
ramie can be cultivated in this country
just as well as abroad. That Texas is
particularly adapted to its growth is
demonstrated by the fact that it has for
several years been cultivated very sue
cessfully at Yorktown, in Dewitt Coun-
ty. 1t need not be planted but once, as
single stand will give continual
growth forever. Mr.. Fremcry says that
in Texas the ramie will yield four crops
year. In Mexico it yields as high as
seven. Each crop will yield 1000 pounds
of fiber to the acre, or $4,000 pounds per
oNdoOh' lAC lldl hpb plISC hClC VI NllIS
fiber is four cents per pound baled.
Thus it appears that ramic culture
in Texas will yield gross $3.50 per
acre, which is ordinarily more
profitable than cotton. Mr.. Frcnery
says that the cost of starting a pl lnta-
ton of thirty-fve acres, equipped with
buildings, engines, boilers, dccorticat-
ing machine, outfit such as n ules,
wagons, agricultural implements, etc,
and all necessary labor to run the
plantation, would be but $1,000. lie
cites an instance in Avignon, France,
where ramic company was capitalized
with 800, 900. The second year the ,om.
pany paid dividend on this stock OF
eight per cent the third year twenty
two per cent. and the fourth year
thirty-siX per cent. In France only two
crops year can be raised.-St. Louis
