Frank LesIie's Popular Monthly for May

The idyllic and historic Bronx Valley,
sympathetically described by cne OF its
residents, DR.. Peter MacQueen, and
illustrated with a score of charming
views, occupies with vernal seasonal
bility the front place in Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly for May. another
timely paper, bearing as it does upon
the question of a National Quarantine
for the United States, is the graphic
sketch of 'Caribbean Quarantine" ex-
perience, by Henry Arthur Herbert, of
Muckross. An exciting narrative of
the ascent of Mount Etna is accom-
panied by numerous views of the great
Sicilian volcano, and its recent erup-
ton. Among the other illustrated
articles are "The Worlds Fair Fish.

Sam Jones's Idea Of Finance.

To get in debt financially is about the
worst thing a man can do. A man had
better Gle than to get in debt, and L
speak that with all the honesty Of my
nature and out of deep experience.
Death has hurt fewer people than debt
has, and Spurgeon said good thing
when he said: ~ have fought three
enemies, I trust successfully-dirt and
the devil and debt-and by the grace
of God I hope to conquer all three and
make my way to heaven" And l
don't know which is the worst. BY
soap and water you can run the first
off, by prayer and faith you can make
the second git" but this thing Of debt
is a mighty hard thing to manage. A
man that will buy luxury on credit
is a fool, and a man that will buy
luxury when he owes money on an
honest debt is q rascal. The same Goo
that said, "Thou shalt not steal," said,
"Owe no man anything but to love one
another" Don't buy anything if you
can't pay for it. But if you must get
into debt, the next best thing to do is
to settle up the first Of every month
every dollar you owe. If not once
month, then have clear receipt in full
every Christmas day, and man who
does not settle at least once year is on
a road to bankruptcy.

The cultivation was as good as the
excessive rains permitted. Cotton was
tbinned to one stalk every two feet.
Only the two middle rows of each
plot were used in the test, hence each
test area contained one-thirty:second of
an acre. The stalks in each test area
were counted and then pulled stalks
from ea"h until all the test areas con-
tanned the same number of stalks,
The picking was not begun until after
dinner and was finished before night,
so all of the cotton was dry when

every part of the experiment to secure
accuracy.
The yields of the experiment were as

AS will be seen by comparison of
these figures the average yield where
no fertilizer was used is 202s pounds.
An application of 300 pounds acid
phosphate per acre gave an increased
yield of sol pounds and an application
of 200 pounds acid phosphate and 160
pounds kainit gave an increase Of 613
pounds. But I have already taken too
much of your space; those interested
can study the figures and make COM
parsons.
The experiments this year will be to
plant the plat used last year. without
any fertilizer to ascertain whether or
not the fertilizers last the second year;
and new plat will be used to expert
ment with different amounts of fertili-
zers per acre. know, Mr.. Editor, that
advice to farmers is generally thrown
away, but after a careful study Of the
situation in the South, West and in
Europe, I have formed the following
conclusions:
1. That cotton will sell at a low price
for years to come. .......
2. That bacon will be high for at least
two years.
8. That corn will sell at from 70 cents
to 81 bushel, when we can raise it for
2e cents and less.
4. That the low price of -four will not
continue Indefinitely.
S. That as we will be compelled to
take cents or less for cotton, we should
prepare to raise it for 5 cents or less.
We cannot control the selling prices,
but we can, reduce the cost, and the
time to begin is right now, cut off few
acres of cotton and put it in corn and
be ready to feed some hogs next year.
Sow four acres to the plough in wheat
next fall, and if you raise your own

you have to spend money or use credit?

have bells or very great watchfulness,
as it ruins a ferret to let him run
around loose, even for a very few min

gets out of an earth without being
seen. The objection to bells is that
the sound travels g long way through
tho ground, and if there are any other
passages with rabbits in them they
will all ''git up and git" while the
hunter is occupied with one. If they
are used they should be of the tiniest

Wsys Of q Captive wildcat.

Everybody has heard of Mic Arend's
wildcst. The cat was given Mic some
months ago, and ever since has been
living ON tine "a: oi the land. Inc
cook, q colored woman, at Mics place
feeds the cat, which has manifested q
great fondness for her. When she ap-
proaches the cage he purrs in the most
pleasant manner, but if anybody else
comes about him he immediately
growls and shows his wicked looking
fangs. The cat is perfectly satisfied
with his home. Two or three times
his cage door has been accidentally
left open, but he never even walked
outside to see what the rest of the
world looked like. However, whenever
1t occurred that the cage door was left
open, Mic always missed chicken.
The other day he saw the Get catch
one. He simply crouched down by
the door and waited until the chicken,
oblivious of danger, came along, and
then he shot out his paw and had the
chicken by the head After he catches
and kills the fowl he picks all the
off it almost as carefully as a
cook, and uses his mouth in the opera
ton while holding the bird between
his paws.-Florida' Times Union.

But the butcher got even with her.
The reckoning came 10 half n cent,

TIE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder has all the
Honors-In Strength and Value 20
per cent. above its Nearest Com
pctitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has tho
cnviablc record of having received the
highest award for articles OF it's class
greatest strength, purcst ingre-
dients, most perfectly combined
wherever exhibited in competitor with
others. In the exhibitions of former
years, at the Centennial, ut Paris,
Vienna and Mt the various State and
Industrial fairs, where it has been en-
hibited, judges have invariably award
cd the Royal Baking Powder the high
est honors.
AT the recent Worlds Fair the cx-
animation for the baking powder
awards were directed by the chief
chemist of the Agricultural Depart
mcnt Mt Washington. The chief chem
lists official report of the tests of the
baking powders, which was made ior
the specific purpose of asccrtaiuing
which WAS the best, shows the leavcn-
ing strength of the Royal to be 100
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream.of tartar
baking powders exhibited, the next
highest in strength tested contained
but 1873 cubic inches of leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average of
III. The Royal, therefore, was found
OF twenty per cent. greater ieavening
strength than it's nearest competitor,
and forty-four per cent. above tho
average of all the other tests. Its
superiority in other respects, however,
in the quality Of the food it makes as
to finencss, delicacy and wholesome
mess, could not DC measured By fig
urGG.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for so many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, rs shown by statistics, to cx-
cccd the sale of all other baking pow
ders combined.
