PARIS, Aug. pa youth named
Ballet. who was convicted Of commit
ting several murders, was beheaded at
Douai, near Lille, in the department
of the Nord, this morning. The exc

positively refused to listen to the

THE ADAM FoREPAUaH SHOWS
The Oldest, Largest and Richest Ex-
hibition In the World

The greatest treat in the amusement
way offered to the people of this section,
and in all probability, the greatest
tanned, will be here soon. The enterprise
referred to is known now the world over
as the Adam Forepaugh Shows, the old
est, largest, richest amusement enterprise
on earth. Grand triple circus, huge
menageries, great Roman hippodrome, re-
inforced Wild West, monster museums,
European trained lion exhibition in which
Colonel Il. Daniel Boone, and Miss Mile
Carlotta, will let loose in a steel encircled
ring, and give a wonderful performance,
which will be seen for the first time in
America with these shows. The great
Hanlon- VOTERS, the most celebrated
aerialists on earth, are also one OF the
great features, and it is safe to say that
there are more famous foreign features
with the big shows than other shows have
acts, all told. There is complete Japan
eSe circus seen here for the first
time. There are more lady bare back
and jockey riders than can be seen in any
other three shows. There are 200 men
and horses. 100000 are invested in this
enterprise, and its daily expenses are
actually $500. Four great trains, con-
sisting of fifty cars each sixty feet in
length, all the property of the company.
In fact the shows are of surprising i'm
mensity, greatness and merit, they are the
only big shows coming here, and advice so
freely by show bills is in this case a good

CIDER WITH DRIED APPLES.

Everything appearing in the agricultural
department of The GAZETTE is read by me
with much interest, although l am not a
practical farmer. l find it decidedly good
reading and full OF valuable inform alton
useful to everybody. This week 1 was
specially interested in your directions for
making cider without apples Immense
quantities of that kind OF cider is sold in
Texas OF course it could be made here
as well as anywhere else, as your recipes
show, and yet most, if not all, of it comes
10 Us from some distant state, at 4 heavy
transit cost. Pursuing such q course is
about on par with the actions of the ia
nous "Thompson's colt" which is said to
have always swan the river to the opposite
side when he wanted drink of water.
But this is an inquiry letter, as usual, and
so to business: A friend present when the
agricultural department of The GAZETTE
was read and discussed this week, said the
best cider he had ever used in his life was
made with dried apples. He had no infor-
nation as to how il was made, and 50
write to ask if you can tell US anything
about it, and how to make it. G. S. ORD.
Dallas, Tex.
Cider made with dried apples is no IN
usual thing for some regions Of the country,
and where known it is regarded as a very
good and wholesome drink. To make it get
barrel from which good sugar-house syrup
has been sold, and place into it three gallons
of the very best syrup to be had, adding
five gallons of water boiling hot. Stir well
together by rolling or shaking. lie. stand
one hour, then add twelve ounces of tartaric
acid and roll or shake again. Have eight
pounds of good dried apples (ordinary sun
dried will answer as well as evaporated),
and pour over them three gallons of boiling
water in 4 suitable vessel. Let stand three
hours, then add to the contents of the
barrel, with thirty gallons Of pure cold
water. Put the barrel away in some
suitable place where the temperature
will range at from TO to 20 degrees, Fahren-
heit. Leave with bung out two Or three
days, Or until the cider is pleasantly acid,
then add one ounce oil of wintergreen, half
ounce oil of sassafras and half pint of 90
per cent alcohol. Mix the oils with the al
cohol before pouring into the barrel. Roll
the barrel to insure thorough mixture then
bung up and keep in cool place.
This makes wholesome beverage. If
eventually, the cider becomes too sour to
drink it can be exposed to a warmer tenn
perature, where it will soon be converted
into an excellent vinegar.

ScIESrJFIC FARMING

Even here in progressive Texas you will
find men ready to tell you that scientific
agriculture is humbug, and that the least
a farmer can have to do with it the better it
is for him. At the time of this writing a
week has not passed since farmer Of more
than ordinary intelligence expressed that
very idea to us. He said the agricultural
page of THE GAZETTE pleased him on ac-
count of the fact that everything in il was
plain and practical, but this scientific farm
ing business. as taught by the agricultural
colleges and their Institutes was, to the
farming class, not worth its weight in gold
coin by at least 100 cents on tile dollar
OF course we didn't argue the point with
him, for the reason that he had struck US
IN :! way which took I'll the wind u. Of our
sails. still we could not help mor:liiziGg over
the notion many people entertain with
reference 10 scientific agriculture While
we have nothing 10 s.. re..liye 10 the

PLANT PITS FOR WINTER.

Some months ago you incidentally stated
in THE GAZETTE that people of the gulf
coast east of the Mississippi river kept
their tender Towering plants through win
ter by placing them in pits. Do yot. think
plants could be kept the same way here
and if so, how are the pits made?
Fort Worth, Tex. AMATEUR.
Doubtless tender plants could be kept IN
pits as well here as at either Mobile or Pen
sacola, for the temperature of winter sell
dom, il ever, gets lower here than ii some
times gets there. But "fower-pits," as
they are called, would be more expensive To
make here than there, as rule, on account
of rock near the surface. In the coast
country no rock is encountered in digging
flower pits-only loan with just clay
enough in it to prevent the sides from cav
ing must be removed. Then their natural
drainage over there IS usually better than
here, particularly in Our prairie lands,
which is another advantage in their favor.
Still We might have hower-pits, should we
desire to do SON our sandy lands there
would be nothing whatever against them.
The size of the pit must be governed by
the number of plants we desire to keep
over. Dig it down to the depth Of four or
five feet. Along the bottom arrange benches
few inches above the ground to set the
flower pots or boxes upon. Make a frame
large enough to go all around the pit at the
top and stretch common brown domestic
upon it. This can be hung upon hinges at
one side if thought necessary.
When the weather is above frost temper
atUre lift one side of the frame TO let in air
and warmth; when below tine freezing
point let the frame down so that the entire
top OF the pit will be covered. No other
covering will be necessary where the out
side temperature does not fall below ten
degrees above zero. In the event of
lower fall it might be well to spread some
kind of extra covering over the frame.
a pit for our rocky and clayey regions
should be dug on the edge of an abrupt
slope to admit of easy drainage. 1t might
be necessary to cut down and put in 4
drainage pipe and then refill the cut to the
common level. OF course it would not do
for water to rise in the pit sufficiently high
to come in contact with the plants.
Tender plants kept in pit made as
directed seem to keep through winter better
than plants kept in regular greenhouse.
