The library door was ajar and the SER
geant was surprised TO see the Eight Of
the gas within still burning. Had the
master fallen asleep in his chair! He
knocked softly, and then there being no
response he ventured to push open the
door and enter.
The gaslight falling on the broad ia
bic that stood near the fireplace cast u
shadow over the hearth rug, 80 that the
sergeant did not at first see what lay
there. He noticed that the last embers
were expiring in the CRATE, but as he
stepped round the corner Of the table he
started, and the coal scuttle fell from his
hand with "a crash Stretched out on the
rug, but in an oddly constrained posi-
ton, lay the form Of Harry Trent.
The noise of the failing scuttle did not
rouse him; indeed, the sergeant, with
the practiced eye Of soldier, had per-
cciyed in moment that he was dead.
But he thought that the man had died
from astrol1e Of the heart or OF apoplexy.
lie was not prepared for the further rev
elation, and as he realized it a groan OF
horror burst from him.
From the back of tho neck, little to
the left, protruded the hilt Of knife OF
dagger, culiously carved. The rug was
. soaked with blood. Harry Trent had
not died natural death, nor had he
claim himself. He had been murdered.

He was Of good family, and his father
had left him property sufficient to re-
lieve him from tho necessity Of work.
But Harry Trent had not an idle bone in
lis body, aud he had no sooner cOmplet-
ed lis university career than he gave
proof Of his activity. Instead Of taking

BAD SEEDS COMPLAINED OF.

How is one TO know good from bad gar
den seedsl / am satisfied that people are
being badly cheated through the sale 10
them of wholly unreliable seeds, and 1t is
certainly serious matter, especially in 4
region of country where the gardening
season is short and a failure or two to get
4 stand of what one plants throws him out
OF the best season This spring | have
three times planted snap beans in my
kitchen garden, and not one seed has
terminated. 1t has been the same with
several other vegetables planted by me. l
know the fault was not mine, for am an
old hand at making kitchen garden, and
therefore had my land in first-class order.
Every condition was favorable for the seeds
TO come Not few OF my neighbors are
complaining Of the same trouble, while
others have goods stands, though they en-
ployed precisely the same methods as EN-,
ployed by US. They used different brand
Of seeds. Is there no remedy. TRINITY.
Tarrant County, Tex.
No remedy that we know of, once you
have purchased the seeds. Your only REM
edy lies in preventive, and that preventive
can only be found to certainty in
purchasing the seeds of some well known
and reliable house whose date of putting up
the seeds is plainly printed on the label of
each package. When you buy seeds carry
ing no printed date, you have no means
of knowing how old the seeds are, and it
is usually the too great age of seeds that
renders them worthless. 4 reliable house
with a valuable reputation as stake will
never misdate seed packages. There ought
to be some way of holding dealers account
able for selling bad seeds, but there is
none, owing to the fact that you could not
convince court that the fault was not
your own, or due to conditions with which
the scotsman had nothing to do.
Those dated seeds from houses of na-
tional reputation may not be so profitable
to the local dealer as are some other kinds,
hence the local dealer may not be keeping
them, but even in that case You may find
your remedy in sending direct to head
quarters and getting your supply through
the mails. When the local dealer comes TO
understand that his patrons will take none
save seeds known to be reliable, he will let
up on his commission seeds and offer you
something OF safer character.

HENRY CLAY MILL EOY.

Who can say what that boy over in the
field welding a heavy hoe and wiping his
brow on the sleeve Of his shirt may not
eventually be- Why look down on the
farmer merely because he is farmer9
Have not some of our greatest men been
farm boys Just like that boy over there2
Did not the eloquent Henry Clay ride the
white mare of his widowed mother to the
corn mill in Ashland, Virginia, the grist be
tween him and the saddle, long before he
became the greatest Of leaders among mem
We take the above from long-winded
letter sent US for publication, but smacking
so strongly of some kind of unknown poll
tics that we can spare space for no more of
it. And we find ourself prone to take issue
against even this short extract. We don't
think Henry Clay ever rode his mothers
white mare to the corn mill as suggested.
We ourself were around in times pretty
well back towards the time pointed out,
and we are now satisfied from personal ex-
perience that the Virginia farm boy never
rode to the corn mill with a saddle between
the grist and the white mare. A bit Of old
quilt or a sheep skin may have been there
to keep hairs out of the meal, but no saddle.

WHAT KIND OF EISito

l would be pleased to have you give me
some information with reference 10 fish.
What kind do YOU regard as best for stock
ing Il large tank, and where could l get the
kinds you would recommends What bureau
of the United States government holds con-
troll of the fish government buSinesSl
Midland, Tex G. NJ BRECKoN
If you simply desire to raise fish in your
'tank," and are not overly fastidious so far
as relates to the eating qualities of your
product, German carp would probably fill
your bill better than any other species
You can raise the carp, no doubt about that,
and they will impart 4 decidedly fishy smell
to the frying pan, but-well some folks
don't much banker after German carp as
food. AT the proper season you might get
a start of carp from the United States fish
commission; anyways you could get full
particulars by addressing letter to United
States fish commission, Washington, D. C.
If you would rather have I better fish
than the carp we would recommend stock
ing your tank with '.mud cat'' from the
nearest creek or pond. They will usually
do very well in ''tank," though they will
not grow and increase so rapidly as German
carp. 1t would not do to mix cats and carp
fish commission carp would be food too
expensive to employ as a regular diet for
catfish

A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER.

I was delighted with your article in TIE
GAZETTE of last Sunday entitled THE Land
of Flowers" 1t was true to the letter.
Texas is certainly land of flowers Not
long ago l moved to Texas from the great
prairie regions of the North. We thought
we had all the wild flowers of the world up
there, but oh, me! In the way of numerous
and beautiful wild flowers those Northern
prairies bear no kind of comparison to the
prairies of Texas.
But enough Of this. I enclose you large
and beautiful white flower that has, all of
its own accord, made its appearance in my
yard, forming quite bed. You will see
that it measures more than two inches in
diameter and that while clear white gen.
orally, its center is shaded to a soft green
ish yellow tint. The leaves of the plant
are much divided up, reminding one some
what of leaves on the otto of rose geranium.
Can You name it for me? No one here
seems to have even common name for it.
Fort Worth, Tex. A LADY
1t is primrose peculiar to Texas and
Alabama, no botanist having as yet men
toned finding it in any other region.
Gnothera speciosa is its botanical name.
Some of the florists are now cultivaing it
and finding it responding grandly to Gull
ture. There are two varieties of it grow
ing wild here-the white variety you have
kindly sent us and another just like it in all

OR MARKET GARDENING.

I am 4 truck farmer, as You well know,
but would like to change my business to
local market gardening to sell my products
in neighboring town or city. How is the
market gardening business at Fort Worth
Is there an opening at your city for an in
dustrious and pushing market gardener TO
make living, or is the business entirely
overdOnc as one finds il III most other
places A. l.. y.
Mobile county, Ala.
The soil here is fine for market garden
ing-it could be profitably applied as fer
tilizer on any of the lands of your region
could you get it without involving too much
cost in transportation. Our climate is
equally as favorable for market gardening
as is yours; indeed we might say more SO,
for we have plenty of tree fruits this year
while You have none. As TO whether or
not there is an opening here for You prom
Using profits, we will leave you TO be your
own Judge after we have stated that our
vegetables come in as early rs yours, and
that common turnips and mustard greens
are now sold by our green grocers and
street peddlers at 10 cents gallon loosely
dropped into the measure-S0 cents q
bushel. And don't infer from this that the
greens so offered are the first of the season
they have appeared in more or less
abundance throughout the winter, and the
selling price has been the same al along.

stock of all kinds, and is giving the angora
trial. The three he has are in fine
condition.
Writing with reference 10 the angora
goat the editor of Field and Farm says its
raising for profit is a business but little
tried in this country as yet. The most
done in that way has been done by testers
or fanciers. Practical stockmen do not ap-
pear to have turned their attention in that
direction, particularly in the great South
west where the angora would doubtless
be more at home than in any other portion
of North America. In the states east Of the
Mississippi river, continues this writer,
angora goats are in great demand, and
always bring good price. Their fleece is
equal to the very finest Of Cotswold sheep
sheep wool, and brings higher price in the
market. In addition to this, the animal
is much harder than the sheep, and Can be
raised in this country as proftably as any
where. The grades do not produce such fine
wool as the thoroughbred, yet, a seven
Fights angora will yield more, and a better
quality of wool, than the average sheep Of
the land, while, at the same time, it will be
far more certain and not hiaf so hard to
raise. One runs no risk whatever on the
angora goat, for there is always lively
demand for the wool.

ANOTHER GRASS.

A new grass has sprung up on my sons
ranch in Callahan county, and | send you 4
specimen of it for Identification 1t grows
very luXuriantly on ground where once
stood house with q cultivated garden.
Does not seem inclined to spread, but
rather appears to have sprung from seeds
scattered where it is now growing. l am
of the opinion that it was green through
out the winter-I saw it green in October
and then again in March. My son very
much wishes to learn the name of the
grass, and also whether or not it is ma
tive; indeed he would be thankful for any
information with reference to it.
Abilene, Tex. Mrs. E. c. WAGNER.
The grass interesting your son is known
for common as meadow foxtail-its botani-
cal name is Alopecurus pratensis. Is not
native of Texas, though it makes itself en-
tirely at home on Texas soil, where
chance locates it, and at once strikes out to
take care Of itself. We have met with it
growing along roads and on waste lands at
various points in the state-it is getting to
be quite common about Fort Worth. Looks
a good deal like timothy grass, though the
head is much softer than that of timothy,
and not near so large. Is a very good pas
ture grass while young, but seems to lose
all of its nutritive qualities so soon as seeds
are formed. Grows almost anywhere, but
seems to most delight in abandoned old
fields. While not cultivated as hay grass,
it often manages to secure footing in the
meadow, and to thus get into the hay bale
Through this means its seeds are more or
less scattered over the country wherever
hav is Skinned

POPULAR SCIENCE.
BILLIARDS. IN FLORIDA AND
TEXAS.
Why the Sea is salt-The Maidstone De-
lusion-Our Beautiful Butterflies.
What Is Water?-A World of
Rust Drinkers-Nature's
Great Packhouss.

Salt cannot be taken up by evaporation,
which accounts for why the sea is salty, A
prominent ingredient of all lands is salt
Chloride of sodium), and waters running
over the lands take this salt into solution,
carrying it to the sea. The atmosphere
takes up those waters by evaporation,
carrying them back to be again thrown
upon the land in rains, but since the salts
cannot be taken up they are left behind.
As consequence there is a constant NOV
ing Of salt from the land to the sea, while
not one particle of it is ever returned.
We find the same thing holding good in
case of our inland salt lakes. Lakes into
which surface waters flow, but which have
no outlet save BY evaporation, invariably
become salt lakes.
-
The Florida Farmer and Fruit Grower
holds out the idea that billiards hurt vege-
tation more in Florida than in the states
and localities further north, owing to the
more sappy condition of the Florida
growths. The Gulf of Mexico and the At
lantic ocean offer no protection in the case
of billiards. The trouble in nutshell is
that the sub-tropical weather of that region
gets dash Of sub-arctic weather dumped
right into the middle Of it. The silly os-
