Something About Tobacco Cuitare-- Roots For
Winter Feeding Quality or Hog Meat
Feeding Horses Horticultural
kotes--Items or interest


There is. perhaps. no plant so de-
pendent upon peculiarities of climate
aud soil for the development OF quality
as tobacco. The writer has had con-
neclion with disappointing results
from attempts TO grow better grades
OF tobacco in southern Maryland I'M
der the advice and suggestions OF
distinguished expert In tobacco cult
ure. One word describes the whole
result-failure. That failure not from
inexperience or lack OF intelligence.
The climate and soil refused utterly TO
produce crop worth anything, of
any OF the improved sorts grown in
Virginia and elsewhere. On the
other hand. not thirty miles distant
In Fairfax county, Va. within
twelve or thirteen miles OF
Washington city. the tirst trial
produced bright tobacco which
was sold In Richmond at $40
per hundred. In that locality experts
decided before trial that the attempt
would be useless; and experts OF the
Richmond market said II could not
have been believed that tobacco OF
that quality would grow in that To-
cality. Other trials may succeed in
Maryland. but the writer greatly
doubts whether IL is possible to make
tobacco culture pay anywhere in that
state. Possibly some northern variety
might be introduced there which
would pay better than tho sorts now
in use. but the writer believes that
the Potomac river Is the northern
limit OF the southern varieties. The
gray gneis and old red sandstone,
which impinge upon the Potomac at
Seneca, and which form the eastern
border OF the Virginia Piedmont clear
across the state, produce soils which
will grow first class bright tobacco.
Northward and eastward tho writer's
observations and experiments lead
him 10 believe IL cannot be grown,
and he greatly doubts whether any
profitable sort can be. In the present
disorganized and unreliable condition
OF agricultural labor 1t requires
business management TO make such a
crop, which requires so much and
careful handling, pay expenses. even
IL climate and soil are favorable.
Where nature Is hostile the attempt
must fail.

When IL Is remembered that tho

proportion to the size OF his body. 1t
will be seen that ii requires feeding
often-even four times day. Unlike
human beings. horses should drink

they like. Owing to strange inter-
nal arrangement in horse. the water
does not remain In the stomach but
passes through into the cecum-a

SPEAKING ACROSS THE SEA.
Cardinals Manning and Gibbons Converse
by Phonograph.

Cardinals Manning and Gibbons Converse
by Phonograph.
Mr.. Stephen f. Moriarty, manager in
England of the Edison United Photograph
Company, has delivered in person the mes
sage intrusted to him by Cardinal Manning
of England to Cardinal Gibbons. Mr.
Moriarty explained that the message of
Cardinal Manning was received on what is
now known as the old photograph, and,
therefore, says the Baltimore Herald, he had
to introduce a similar instrument, but in a
very little while he would be able to send
the Cardinal the perfected photograph.
Cardinal Gibbons heard the message sew
eral times, and then said to Mr.. Moriarty:
"You do not know, sir, how much 1 feel my
Indebtedness to you, not alone for bringing
to me the message of Cardinal Manning,
beautiful as it is, but you brought me his
voice; and for Cardinal Manning, dear sir,
you cannot imagine my esteem and affec-
tion.' These words were spoken in the
easy, earnest and impromptu colloquial way
of Cardinal Gibbons.
The American Cardinal then spoke into
the phonograph reciprocal message of
greeting and good wishes to the great En-
glish Cardinal for the unity of all the peo-
pies; and he also sent, in his own beautiful
and classic Latin, message to the Holy
Father. These Mr.. Moriarty promised to
deliver not later than fortnight hence.
Cardinal Gibbons then spoke a third
message into the instrument. This one
was to Mr.. Thomas A. Edison, whom His
Eminence congratulated on his marvellous
invention and perfection of the phono-
graph, which must give so much pleasure by
bringing friends together, however separ-
ated by distance in the vox humana

SINGING OF THE SANDS.
Music in the South Seas That Take the
Traveller Into FARMLAND.

Traveller Into talrylanu.
fDuring the whole course of my expert
ence as a traveller" says j. T. Bowles, a
London man, ''the strangest phenomenon 1
have encountered is the singing of the sands
on the Island Palma, in the South Pacific,
near Tahiti Near town called Mona, on
this same island, are the wonderful
singing sands. These sands are in
a small desert. In the center of
this desert about five miles from
the ocean, are about dozen cocoanut trees.
Ia Pule, native guide, and myself reached
the trees about noon. Our horses as well as
ourselves were about used up travelling
through the deep sand under blazing sun.
As we lay stretched at the roots of the tow
ering trees the trade wind set in cool and
refreshing from the ocean.
Notwithstanding the heat and our eX-
hausted condition, there was an enchant-
ment about the situation that caused me to
think of the beautiful stories of my child
hood. 1 began to feel the soft touch Of
slumber, and all at once heard a faint
musical tinkling. as if troops of fairies were
coming to greet us as they used to in
the stories. L tried to locate the mel
odious sounds. In all directions there
was nothing but the hot glowing sands.

beautiful tropical sky and the tremulous
atmosphere 1 was more and more be-
wiiGered and at length awoke Ia Pule. 1
told him what I had heard, and he explained
that the music was caused by the stirring of
the finty sands by the wind. Anyway, the

"How are beginners taught to ride in the

that Is its principal use, but it also prevents
falls. When the pupil can stand well with

''For long time nothing is attempted but
to teach the pupil to stand easily and safely
on the horse and to balance himself grace
fully to the horses stride. Then he learns
to do the same riding backward, which is
harder. Then he jumps up little, an inch

imbedded in his mind that he takes his for

easier to learn Greek-would be for Greek,

From a monograph.
A New York correspondent of the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat quotes Thomas A. Edi-
son as follows: 81 am at work on an inven-

and which, while its commercial value will
be very limited, may recommend itself to

Geve it will surprise you. 1 hope to be
able to combine the phonograph and the
camera, and not only reproduce the sounds
accompanying an event, but the actions Of
those taking part as well. For instance, if
Patti should be singing, this invention will
put her full length picture upon canvas so
that the expression of her face and pose of
her body can be seen while listening to the
song she has sung. The eye will be pleased
as well as the ear.
''The invention has demonstrated its prae-
ticability at prize fight. L Reproduced the
ring, the two principals, the crowd about
them, the intensely interesting expressions
of all, the sound OF blows, the cheers of en-
couragement and the howls of disappoint-
