LATE CROPS


Buokwheat and Rye for E93 aAA WHITES
Pasture.
Buckwheat and rye for fall and winter
pasture, turnips, rutabagas and winter
raaishes can be sown in many cases SITTER
the wheat and oats are harvested s7d
yet give a good yield. A good 'zey to
put In rye is to SOW the seed broadcast
among the corn just before the last cul-
tivation. In a majority Of cases unless
the corn is foul with weed seeds-this is
all that will be necessary. By the time
the corn is harvested and hauled of the
rye win have made such growth as to
afford considerable amount of feed in
the fall and early winter. Buckwheat is
q good crop to grow for green manuring
ftB quick growth, IN addition 10 the Of
feet produced upon the soil, places it
next to clover to plow under as green
fertilizer.
Wheat or oat stubble can be broken
NO and the seed sown broadcast and har.
rowed in and sufficient growth will b
secured before frost to turn under good
layer as fertilizer. IF desired, in any
thing like fair season, a good crop OF
grain may be secured. Buckwheat makes
a good feed for winter, as the grain can
be fed as change to nearly all kinds OF
stock to advantage.
OF the three root crops, says Prairie
Farmer, from which the foregoing is re
produced, rutabagas should be sow>
first, as they require longer time p
make good growth than the others
Turnips should be sown next, If any dif
ference is made, and then the radishes
although good plan is to lniz turnip
and radish seeds. From the middle to
the latter part Of July is considered .
good time to sow the seed. The bes'
rule to follow is to SOW whenever the
soil is in condition to secure a good
termination Prepare the soil nicely and
then SOW the seed just after rain, SOC
ing broadcast, taking pains to scatter
evenly as possible ovCr the ground ana
then cover with light harrow or brush
These can often be sown where early
crops have already maturei and may be
considered catch crops, because they Oc-
cupy the ground only short time, and
that to considerable extent after the
first crops have made their growth. Of
course in very dry season these crops
will often prove failure. partially or
wholly, but in an average season very
fine as well as profitable yields can be
secured. and those that cannot be mar
keted profitably can always be fed to
stock to an advantage.

Points About watermelons.

The finest watermelons in the world
are to be found In Galveston, and are
served in first-class restaurants and
special cafes in place of ice cream. There
1t is the regular thing for young men to
take their girls ont for watermelon. The
fruit is never sliced. but served in halves,
no matter how large the melon or how
small the eaters. Each Of the halves are
served on platter, and the only eating
utensil is q silver dessert spoon.
Salt, sugar and nutmeg are provided
for the convenience Of those who use
seasoning. The same usage prevails in
first-class restaurants In Georgia and
other melon centers. Outside Of these.
the go-as-you-please style predominates.
The leaders Of fashion, or the quality,
usually fix the local styles. -Pittsburg

Proper Way to Carry Yourself.

consider throwing back the shoulders
a pernicious practice and detrimental
to proper physical, development; besides
it indirectly intensifes the first physical
error, as the pressure of the shoulders
on the spine forces the lumbar curve
(the hollow of the back to become more
pronounced, adding another serious de-
feet of position, as by this practice the
abdomen is forced out more prominent
ly to the front, and the muscles sur
rounding it are in consequence weak
ened through their being constantly
stretched and distended.
The better way is to first draw the
head back, keeping the face at right
angles to the floor, until the back of the
head is little over the spine. Let the
shoulders alone; they will find their
proper position if the arms are allowed
to hang relaxed and correct position Of
the body is assumed. Turn the pelvis
backward and upward; this will remove
the curve in the lumbar region. This is
a much more simple way than throwing
the shoulders back, and of more benefit,
as it Immediately raises up the chest
and gives a nobler carriage.-Edwin

When Is It Justifable to Kill Burglar

The question is often asked, When is

mans rights to his house or goods may
be resisted with any necessary amount
of violence, even to the extent of killing,
but not where the felony is without vio-

-you cannot kill him in cold blood be-
cause you think he will kill you. If after

remains there, and so terrifes you that,
for fear of your life, you shoot him, the
law will not be very particular in decid-

here. on broken road, full of deep ruts,
which helped to check the stage. the
young man brought everything mp
standing. A two mile run 1t had been,
and the horses were still rearing and
plunging.
The other passenger peered carefully
out of the window and asked what was
the matter. He was ordered to open the
door, jump out, and take the leaders by
the head. The young man 'set" the
brakes, climbed down and began to col
them together.
A little later Smoky came running up
in a state of despair and exhaustion.
His pleasure at discovering the coach
and horses uninjured took the form of a
series of wild yells and contortions that
would have done credit to Shasta In
dian skeleton dance. He climbed back
on the box, the passengers got in, and
the stage started off at redoubled speed
to make up for lost time.
The story went around among the
stage drivers. There was one young fell
low that must be taken care of. He
was to have the seat with the driver, no
=7stter who wanted it. He was the
"man wot stopped Smoky's turnout on
the Penn Valley grade" Even today if
the hero of this true tale were to leave
his great mills and business enterprises
in San Francisco and 60 to the wilds of
Modoc and Siskiyou beyond the outposts
of the railroad, he would be almost sure
to discover that his name and fame were
known; that the word would be sent
along the line, "Smoky's passenger is
goin' over this road" and the grumpiest
of old stagers would unbend and treat
him as an equal. The young man who
climbed out over the wheel and "put
down the brakes" on Smoky's stagecoach
thirty years ago, is still an honorary
member of the craft of ancient and
weather beaten masters of the whip and
ribbons.
Perhaps the reader will think that the
story is incomplete without the name of
the young man. 1t was A. S. Hallidie,
the inventor of the cable car system of
San Francisco and of many valuable
mining and engineering contrivances.

SEED WHEAT.


western StockmAMAW HAnm for Securing
the Best wheG1 Rssaible.
Every grain dealer IL interested in
securing for his own immediate locality
the best wheat possible. Very often the
difference between the wheat raised in
two localities is simply matter of care
full seeding The following Is from an
authority, and we commend 1t to our
readers for the benefit Of their farmer
friends:
take the wheat from the hest half
acre and run it through the tanning mill
in such way as to take out merely the
screenings-the very small and badly
shrunken grains. In most seasons these
would amount to one bushel out Of from
twenty to forty. All grains of fair sizes
are left in the seed. Perhaps you ask:
Why not grade the wheat from the best
half acre?
Well, which heads contained the larg-
est grains-the small ones with q few
kernels, or the ones that had twice as
many2 have thought for some years
that tho former did, and do not care to
plant them to the exclusion of others.
If it were practical to select the best
heads from the best half acre, and then
the best berries from them, would like
10 do 80; but as far as my present knowl-
edge goes / do not care to grade my seed
from the best of the field, except to take
out the very poorest.
Ihave not jumped at this conclusion
as matter of theory, for it is the result
of a good deal of observation, and still
presume that nine farmers out of ten
who go out to buy seed wheat would
select fine. plump grain from a field
which had yielded twenty or twenty-five
bushels per acre, rather than An inferior
looking article, somewhat smaller. and
perhaps little shrunken, from field
which they knew had yielded thirty -five
or forty bushels per acre.

SHOT IN A DINING ROOM.
RAILROAD FIREMEN QUARREL
AND ONE IS KILLED.

Whisky at the Bottom Of the Shooting
Atlanta the Scene-The Murderer
Escapes-He Vas Once Suspected CT
Having a Hand in q Mans Death,
But q Woman swore That it Was
Suicide.
ATLANTA, GA, March 25.-This afternoon
Alex H. Sayre, a railroad fireman, was
shot and killed by E. A Underwood, an
other railroad fireman Whisky was the
cause Of the killing. It occurred in the
dining room at Sayre's residence on Baker
street. Underwood has been boarding with
Savre and his wife for some time, stopping
there every time he came in town, as his
home is at Lilly Pond. To-day both men
were of duty and they went up town to-
gether, returning about O'Clock this
afternoon. Both were pretty well loaded
with whisky, and, as dinner was not quite
ready, they sat on the front porch, talking
together very boisterously.
A BROTHER IN-LAw's STORY.
W. R. Digger, Sayrss' brother-in-law,
heard the men talking, but seeing they
were drunk he paid little attention to them.
He heard Underwood say TO Ssyre: "lt
you punch me in the ribs again III Knock
the stuffing out Of you"
When dinner was announcer the Two
men went into the dining-room and found
Mrs Sayre and Digger already there.
ssse ordinary conversation was INDUCED In
s,s the table, and Digger after finishing his
dinner went outside, leaving the two men
and Mrs. Sayre seated at the table. A few
minutes afterward Underwood left the
table and went into his room. Digger on
leaving the table walked to the front door
and looked out on three of Sayre's five chill
dren playing in the yard waiting to be
called to dinner.
THE SHOOTING.
He then returned to the dining room and
stood in the door.
Underwood came up behind him, and,
before Digger knew what he was doing he
threw his hand, 10 which was pistol, over
his shoulder and fired at Sayre just as he
was rising from the table. Sayre stag
Rered up and advanced toward Under wood,
while Mrs Sayre ran screaming from the
room Underwood fired a second shot and
then re-entered his room, while Sayre stag
gered out and fell into Dugger's arms IN a
dying condition. Dugger's attention was
taken up in looking after the wounded
man.
UNDERWOOD FLEEs.
Underwood was sober enough by this
time to realize what he had done and he
proceeded TO make good his escape Up to
a late hour tonight he had not been ar
rested. Sayre was shot in the left nipple.
He lived only an hour and half. He was
"a years old and leaves a wife and FIVE chill
dren, three girls, the Oldest Of whom is
aged Just years. Underwood, who is Al
years old, has wife and several children.
PREVIOUS KILLING.
Underwood was in the room with an en-
Rineer named Williams, who was killed
q few months ago There was q woman in
the room at the same time, and she swore
that Williams committed suicide. It was
suspected that Underwood did the killing,
but no proof could be produced and he was
released
