DECORATION DAY-NORTH
AND SOUTH.

In the States south OF tho Ohio
River the roses bloom at least three
weeks earlier ON an average for tho
entire territory thaa they do in
the States north of the river
Hence the graves OF the CoAfedsr-
ale dead are decorated in early
May, while Decoration Day for
the Federal does not come until
several weeks later.
Although the Southern graves
were decorated ever a fortnight
ago, and the usual spesshss made,
it is a most significant fact that the
ceremonies nowhere excited moro
than local comment. 1t il not 80
long ago but that it is an easy
m.mory OF very young newspaper
readers siucs Republican editors
had their correspondents in the
South under spssisl Instructions to
lock cut for "Trsason" in Dscera-
ton Day addresses and to telegraph
all "Traitorous" utteraRsss in full
for use in firing the Northern
heart. In ClsvsIaud's first adm in
lstratien every Decoration Day at
the South was welcomed by the
opposition press as . godsssd and
for weeks afterwards Southern
Rebels" and TRAITORS were de-
uonnssd with thu most ardent 10y
ally. Somehow it didn,t pay.
Th. people OF the North concluded
that they dida't misd hsw much

that no votes we're changed by it,

they seem, dropped it for something
else.

AN AFRICAN CITY OF GOLD.

|
AN AFRICAN CITY OF GOLD.
johannesburg is situated in the
Witwatusranit geld fields, in the
southern part OF the South African
Republic, at an elevation Of 5000
feet above sea level. It's climate 10
most salubrieus and plsassnt. In
wiatsr, whish is from May to the
end OF August, the weather 10
sufficiently cool to make an over
csat a necessity, and at night and
in the morning the air is very cold
and brselsg. In summer .bs
heat OF the sun 10 tempered by
gentle winds that are constantly
blowing. In the year 1886 the
government OF the South African
Republic proclaimed and threw
spsn for mining purposes = tract Of
land or Which gold had previously
bssn discovered and found to be in
paying quantities. This tract Of
land, which was then = trsslsss
prairie, with NO human hAbitation
within miles OF it, and no railroad
facilities or other means OF cheap
transportation, is day the site OF
Johannesburg, = city of $4,000 in
habitants, with all the improve
nsnts and eonvsnienees OF the
modern Amsricaa city Of similar
size. The remarkable feature Of
its rapid growth is that every bit
OF material used In the construct
ion Of buildings and in the equip
msnt Of the mines had to be trans
ported on freight wagons, draws
by oxen, hundreds OF miles from
the nearest railroad terminus or
seaport
Shortly after the proclaiming OF
the district spsn Tor ninisg pwr-
poses, mining men fosksd to the
ssw "El Dorado iro~ all parts OK
the world. Prospecting vas vigor-
eusly pushed is every direction,
and ere long it was discovered
that the lodss bearing I he precious
metal were very extensive, having
length OF forty miles ,sa =
breadth varying from oss-halt to
tive miles, the thickness varying
from enc to seven feet. The ssus-
try through which the gold bear
ing strata passes was all staked
out in claims, and inHuEsrsbls
syAdicatss and nising companies
we're srgsaiIsd. In November,
1887, there we're NO less than 6S
gold mining companies, with =
nominal capital of 3,06S, 900, pounds
sterling and IL January, 1890.
there wsrs $50 companies, with
100000 pounds sterling capital.
These extensive preparations wore
made for active mining.
Ths assembling OF so many pee
pie in . mushroom" town made
good openings fer all kinds OF
business. A Chamber 81 Mines
was orEsEizsd, esnprissd skisfiy Of
men engaged ia the mlulng Ia
dustry, its object being to collect
statistics and generally tn further
the interests OF mining. A Cham
ber Of ComBsrcs for the interest
OF the commercial senmuaity Was
also Termed. Churches, theatres,
Govsrnnsnt Building, business
blscks and all kiads sf public
hsildinss OF a substantial nature
we're constrsstsd, and thus the
niaing ssmp gradually developed

USING THE MANURE.
An Excellent Top Dressing for Youn
Wheat and Rye.

An Excellent Top Dressing for Young
Wheat and Rye.
There is another thing that is time
ly subject for thought, which is the
manure that is lying in the yards or
has gathered in the sheds or stables
This is often a source of loss far
greater than is generally suspected,
says the New York Times. AS soon as
the manure is made 1t begins to lose
value every day thereafter The COM
mon idea that manure may ripen by
exposure to the air or the rain is mis-
take, 1t is one of the most easily de-
composable kinds of matter, partly de-
composed at the first, as we may know
by its strong odor, and broken down
by mastication and partial digestion
and the moisture of it. Thus it decays
rapidly, and in its change it loses por.
ton of its fertilizing value every day
it is exposed. There is a place for it
where it may do good service, and this
is on the land. There it loses nothing.
Every part of it that escapes, either in
gaseous form or is dissolved goes into
the soil, which holds it firmly, and vet
readily parts with it to the roots of the
plants.
If the young wheat or rye has not
been supplied as it should be the ma
nure may be used as a top dressing
with great benefit. If it is not needed
there the meadows want it. If these
are supplied there are pastures thai
will be benefited by it. There was
never yet farm where there were moi
several ways of using every pound Of
manure to advantage somewhere al
this season
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1893-12-22
How to Treat Sandy Soil.

If the sandy soil has clay or other
wise tenacious subsoil, SO that manure
will not leach out of it, keeping it in
good cropping condition is not diff
cult. Good catches of clover can be
got on very poor sands for use Of pot
ash manures, and wherever clover will
grow it will supply the vegetable mat
ter which is needed to keep sandy soil
from wasting. But once let sandy soil
become thoroughly exhausted, and it is
less hopeful than an exhausted clay
soil The latter generally protects
itself from loss by forming itself into
humps, which neither rains nor roots
can penetrate and which only need
breaking up to restore fertility again.
An exhausted sandy soil needs to be
built up from nothing, supplying al
tie elements of fertility.
