Says the New York Independent on
the subject of irrigation: The earliest
agriculture of Europe, Asia snd Af-
rica began in arid lands. Turning to
America it is discovered that this fun
damental art began everywhere under
like conditions of great aridity, on
sandy plains and hot deserts. In the
southwestern portion of the United
States, the very last district of the
country to be settled by white men, in
some portions of Utah. Colorado,
Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and
California, where natural vegetation is
80 rare that it scarcely gives character
to the landscape, where sandstorms
drive over the country, where naked
plains spread under lurid sky, and
where the landscape is often one of
naked rock, and where adamantine
forms stand in groves, and the trees
are fossils buried in the rocks, the
most ancient agriculture is found. For
in the country thus described, the In
dian tribes in centuries lost to history
cultivated the soil by artificial irriga-
tion, and developed corn, cotton, po-
tatoes, and other vegetables useful to
man, while the rich valleys to the
north and east were yet untouched by
agricultural labor.

The Southern States Magazine OBJ
serves: ''rhere appears to be an i'm
preston among those who have seen
but little of the South, particularly
during the past two years, that the
Southern planter or farmer is SO abso-
lutely dependent upon cotton that if
that single crop fails, ruin and desola-
tion to the entire farming community
will follow. While it is true that
certain number Of cotton planters still
hold to the time-honored plan of plant
ing nothing but cotton, the time when
this could be called universal con-
dition in the South has happily passed,
and new and broader farming indus
try has taken its place. In 1892 the
cotton crop of the South was valued at
about 1915, 900, ,000 The corn crop
was valued at $24s, 900, 900, wheat over
$40, 900, 900 and oats about $25, 900, 900.
These three products then were of
equal value with the cotton crop. Add
ing to them the value of tobacco raised,
over 500, 600, 900; of rice, about S10,-
600, 900; Florida oranges, about S3,-
800, 600, and of garden truck, fruit and
vegetables shipped North, between
$40, 900, 900 and $50, 900, 900, the total
value of the products named amounts
to about $40, 100000. 1t WAS only in
the years immediately following the
war that cotton was raised almost to
the exclusion of other products. This
was because the people were almost
penniless and cotton was the one crop
upon which advances could be secured.
The condition of things has been stead
lily improving, and within the past two
years the lesson taught by planting too
much cotton has been 80 impressed
upon every cne engagedin itthat there
has been a general effort to raise moro
foodstuffs, and particularly to provide
the food needed on each plantation or
farm. The Southern farmer to-day is
not solely dependent upon his cotton
crop for living. In western Tennes-
see, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas, while some few are follow
ing the old plan of purchasing food and
planting cotton, the vast majority are
raising diversified crops, and each sac
ceeding year will see this plan carried
out in a greater degree. In Georgia
and the Carolinns cotton raising will
soon hold second place, rs TO value.
among the agricultural products OF the
States, not necessarily because less
will be raised, but becauge of tho Ia
cretse in tho production cf cereals.

western part of the cotton belt such a
condition will not be likely to exist.
but cotton viii never again be raised
in place of food products, us has been
done in the past.

The Great Game of the Chinese.

Weichi is the greatest game of the
Chinese, especially with the literary
class, and is ranked by them superior
to chess. Like chess, this game is of
general military and mathematical
character, but is on much more ex-
tended scale, the board containing 261
places and employing nearly 200 men
on a side. All of the men, however,
have the same value and powers. The
object is to command as many places
on the board as possible. This may
be done by inclosing empty spaces, or
surrounding the enemy's men. Very
close calculation is always essential in
order that loss in one region may be
met by gains in another, thus employ
ing skillful stragey when the contest
ants are evenly matched. The game
has come down from great antiquity,
being first tmentionedin in Chinese writing
about 625 B. O. 1t was in all proba-
bility introduced by the Babylonian
astronomers, who were at that time in
structors of all the East Chicago
Herald.

One of the scientific sharps lass an

that If the funny little bean from which
castor oil is squeezed be grown around

instead Of hop vines, hollyhocks, bur

keep so far away that you can't hear
one buzz. The small boy will easily
believe this.

Count Tolstoi, the Russian philoso-
pher, declares that he entertains a
great dislike to ell poetry, because it
prevents one from giving 'clear, in
telligent and comprehensive expression
TO ones thoughts and ideas." He says
that verses are generally the produc-
tion of 'literary wantonness, literary
frivolity and literary insolence.

An Educated Snake.

A COW belonging to John II. Snave-
ly, farmer living two miles south of
Sharpsburg, was observed to stop and
below regularly at large tree in the
lane, while the cattle were being driven
from the field. Some boys watched
her one day and observed large black
snake approach and milk the cow
Driving her home they told Philip
Lumm, who works on the farm, who
got into the tree with a gun and waited
for results. When the COWS came from
the field this particular COW stopped at
the tree and beloved, when the snake
appeared and was shot by Lumm. -
