FARM AND GARDEN.
Saving the Soil.
Prairie Farmer.


Prairie Farmer.
The most exhaustive crops are the
grain crops that are sold Oft the farm.
II wheat is grown and the grain sold,
even though the straw is led to the
stock and the manure put back upon
the land; it is more exhaustive than
corn grown and fed out on the farm
and the manure applied to the soil.
Manure from straw alone, even when
fed to stock, is of much less fertiliziDg
value than from corn and corn fodder
when fed TO stock and applied to the
and. BY growing clover properly the
land may be gradually built up, but
this plan implies the feeding out of
crop to the stock on the farm and ap-
plying the manure, or the turning OF
It under ate" a good growth has been
secured. To grow clover and sell off
the farm will exhaust the fertility as
certainly as growing and selling
wheat. Changing from one crop TO
another may lengthen the time that
the soil will hold out, as different
plants require different elements of
plant food; but the growing and SELL
off the crops, let them be what they
uay, will gradually exhaust the fer
tility, and when it is worn out from
growing and maturing q variety of
crops the land is in a worse condition
than if run down from growing only
one.
BY growing wheat and selling the
grain and buying bran and oil meal
TO feed in connection with the straw
much better fertilizer can be Sc
cured, and the wheat be made much
less exhaustive crop, while the straw
is used to better advantage as a
feed.
To save the soil, a regular system
Of rotation of crops should he carried
out, growing such crops as are best
adapted to the locality aud feeding
out TO thrifty stock Oh the farm, max
ing, saving and applying of all
Of the manure possible. While
this may not be all that is neces-
sary to build up run down soil
1t will be of material aid, so much so
that the ma jOrity OF farmers can not
afford to overlook, and il aided by
growing aud blowing under green
rrOps and Of using commercial fertil-
zers when it can be done to an ad-
vantage it will be found posslb not
! only To keep up the fertility, hut in a
majority OF cases TO increase. \. J. :.

With an unearthly hiss the serpent
dashed off through the weeds and
underbrush with rapidity and roar
that could have been heard at q
considerable distance. In its mad
dened speed 1t broke off bush es as
thick as mans wrist, and as 1t
dashed through the creek the water
went churning and boiling into the
air as if sent up by a cyclone.
The medicine man stood awestruck
for while, but finally recovering
his senses, he began to investigate
matters for his own satisfaction. He
concluded from what he could see
that the reptile must have been not
less than 25 feet long and as large
around the body as an ordinary sack
of flour. The color was of an asheu
hue, with a slight mixture of green.
Near the place where the head
OF the reptile lay the medicine man
found short pencil and a small piece
of paper, on which was scrawled
something that could not be read.
The supposition prevails that this
monster caught and swallowed some
unfortunate person, and that while
the reptile was covering him with
slime las all sCrpents doJ preparatory
to the act of deglutitiOn, the poor vic
tim tried to write upon the slip of
paper the awful fate that befell him.
Our informant stated that IL was the
most thrilling and exciting episode IN
his life, and that he would not repeat
it again for all of DeKalb county.

A Travelling Mans snake Story

MaycsvilIe MO- Herald.
\ travelling salesman who is in the
employ of all eastern medicine firm
has had an experience that he will
not soon forget. He was driving along
in the timber which skirts Grindstone
creek in the eastern part of the county.
The warm weather had made him
drowsy and he has fallen into dOze,
when his team suddenly stopped aud
snorted, as if in fear, He was awake
i'll a moment and looked to see what
excited his team. He could see
nothing except a large log that was
lying across the road ahead OF him
some 80 or 40 yards. He urged his
team forward, but the animals re
fused to move and showed that they
were thoroughly frightenep. He was
puzzled.
Finally he became suspicious tina
probably some men were lying behind
the log waiting for him TO drive up,
when they would rob him. Getting
out of his vehicle he turned his team
around in the road and securely fast
ened them. Then taking from under
the seat a heavy revolver he advanced
toward the log, expecting each mo.
ment to see gun pointed at him
But he kept on advancing until he
was close enough to look over the log
and see that there was nothing tc
fear. The peculiar appearance Of the
log attracted his attention, and step.
ping up he put out his hand 20 feel tae
bark.
Horror upon horrors! The supposed
log was nothing else than monstrOus
snak. Springing back some twent y
steps he fired upon the reptile. The
ball struck it and glanced off and
want whiZzing through the leaves.

vance is only temporary. 1t was only
granted to enable the river operators to fill
their present contracts. We will be in the
best kind of shape on May l. The lake
trade does not open until that time and there
will be a rush of orders that will compel
the operators to give in early in the game.
We succeeded in getting our scale year
arranged to begin and end then purposely
so as to be even with the busy season in the
trade. The strike will not last long. The
operators cannot afford to allow it to do SO. ="
The threatened strike will more directly
affect the States of Pennsylvania and Ohio,
and Pittsburg will feel its depression to a
considerable extent. Over 10000 men are
employed in these two districts. President
Rae expressed the opinion before leaving
Yesterday that the miners action in offering
the final eonciliatory propositions would
have good effect on the public and the en-
ployes of other industries. 81 believe, !"
said he, ''that we have had the sympathy Of
the public from the beginning, but our last
move will clinch it for US. No one can
blame the miners for breaking up the inter-
State agreement We were willing to con-
ceGe more than we could do consistently in
the interest of peace. The burden now rests
on the operators"

COKE WORKERS DETERMINED.

They Will Not Return to Their Jobs Under
the Operators ScaIe-No Fear of Vio-
Ience-The Miners Strike to Knock Out
Railroads.
President Rae and Secretary Patrick
McBryde, of the United Mine Workers,
returned from Scottdale last evening,
where they attended convention
OF coke workers. Mr.. Rae said
they reaffirmed their determination not to
accept the scale of wages offered by the op-
orators, and the Scale Committee was con-
tinued with discretionary power to meet the
operators as soon as the latter may decide to
see them.
Mr. Rae continued: II firmly believe if
the military was removed tomorrow that
the men would do no harm. | have secured
pledges from those who were in the crowd at
Morewood, and would likely feel the most
vindictive, not to break the law. They said
they had no intention to do so, and there is
no necessity to keep the military in the
region any longer 1 find at Morewood,
where the men are charged with destroy
ing company property, that playful boys
rolled a sill over an incline, and some dam
age was done. / was determined to get at
all the facts about the number of miners at
L
from men who visited the mines claimed to
be In operation. Not 100 miners in the
whole region have returned to their jobs out
of at least Is, 900 men, and the bosses have
been turned in to make showing. At
Adelaide they have miners and Is bosses;
20 bosses at Jimtcwn; at Morewood they
have 40 men, Is of whom are bosses. 10 of
these worked In the yard, and of them
have quit The other three are pit bosses.
AT the United mine they have been charg-
ing the ovens with one car to make the peo-
pie believe they were producing coke.
These statements are facts, and show just
how few men have broken away and gone to
work under the operators scale.
LAS for the coming strike in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, it was not the fault of the
operators that the conference ended
abruptly. Back of them are the railroads,
and the mine owners are between the upper
and neither milestone. In two weeks
after the strike is inaugurated there
won't be enough fuel above ground
to turn a wheel on the railroads,
and then we think they will treat with US
on the eight-hour question. There is not
more than a two-weeks' supply of coal on
hand, and We will see to it that the amount
is not increased between the present and
May 1. The eight-hour question must be
met now"
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-04-11
NOT AN IDLE RUMOR,
But a Prediction That Has Been
Proven True.
NOTHING BUT FACTS.

The present alarming number of deaths oc.
curing from La Grippe only serves to verify
the statement made to our readers last week.
Where there is existing catarrhal symptoms,
there La Grippe and many other serious dis
eases, such as bronchitis. pneumonia and con.
sumption, find favorable footholds. The sys-
tenn is weakened by the stealthy action of Ca
tarrh, and the patient, when attacked by dis
ease, falls an easy victim to its consequences.
Now, as a systemic catarrhal condition predis-
poses patient to the attacks of disease, the
conclusion reached is this: That means should
be employed to rid the system of all catarrhal
conditions, thereby enabling the patient to sue
cessfully cope with attacking disease. Drs.
Copeland and Blair's treatment is the only
means by which catarrhal troubles can be sue
cessfully cured, and results have always veri-
fed this claim.
