WALLER MAKES A STAKE.

Granted d Tract Fifteen Miles Square in
Madagascar.
By copy of the Madagascar News,
published at Antananarivo, Madagascar,
and mailed to the STATE JOURNAL from
Marseilles, it is learned that John L.
Waller is going to go into business for
himself in that far-off land. The item
says: His excellency the prime minis
ter and commander-in -chief of Madagas-
car has just granted to the Hon John l.
Waller, ex- United States consul for Mad
agascar, a concession measuring in area
fifteen miles square, in the district of
Fort Dauphin ON the southeast coast
and which is conceded to. be one of the
richest rubber districts in the island.
The discovery of rubber in this dis
trict is of recent date; the article is Of
excellent quality and is found in large
quantities throughout the district.
The district also contains very valu-
able timbers such as ebony, mahogany,
rosewood, teak, etc, and is admirably
adapted to the cultivation of tea, coffee,
vanilla, sugar, etc.
'Mr. Waller informs us that he will
stop the destruction of the rubber trees
concession is concerned and preserve
the product by having the milk extracted
in scientific manner.
HE will also enter largely into the
cultivation of rubber upon his concession.
"This intention of Mr.. Walters is a
step in the right direction and will add
Immensely to the value of the con-
cession; which is by far the largest and
most important surface concession ever
granted in Madagascar and we congrat-
ulate Mr.. Waller upon his success"

stepped gayly into their little craft
and rowed away across the water.
After they had turned an abrupt
angle in the bank, disappearing en-
tirely from his sight. he bit his lip
more viciously than ever and spring-
ing into his own boat, took up the
oars as if intending to follow them,
but after another moment of refiec-
ton the oars were allowed to rest
little in their places while his brow
took on a darker frown and his face
grew rigid with q fierce determine
ton.
To know that the woman he loved
preferred Roy Dallas TO himself was
maddening enough, but to be obliged
to witness their perfect happiness was
almost unbearable torture, and I'M
accustomed as he was to disa ppoint-
ment, even in his slightest wishes, the
utter helplessness of his efforts to win
the fair girls love goaded him almost
to the fury of desperation.
And right here on the water a plan
to end it suddenly occurred to him:
If he could not love her, Roy Dallas
should not, and with this malicious
conclusion in his mind, he seized the
oars again, and with rapid but almost
=
the lovers.
Roy Dallas moored his boat at one
of the most beautiful islands in the
bay-an island not half a mile long,
but densely wooded with cool, green
trees, and noted far and near for it's
variety of flowers and the pleasing
freshness of its moses. Then help
ing Kittie to alight, they started,
hand in hand, each with a basket, to
gather whatever of natures treasures
pleased them best, and just as their
forms disappeared within the shadow
of the grove, Herbert Hilton's boat
shot suddenly around the curve; then
pausing, seemed to scan the situation.
There had been no rains for many
days and the flowers were beginning
to droop little, but happy in her
lovers presence, Kitty roamed about
among the trees, and before they
fairly knew it they were in the thick
est of the grove, and the afternoon
shadows deepened by the darkness of
the wood, fell about them. and warned
them to retrace their steps if they
would reach the mainland in time for
an early dinner.
Roy Dallas reached out playfully to
snatch a flower from Kitty's hand,
when suddenly his eve caught vivid
glare of something far off among the
bushes, something that almost made
his blood run cold, for as he gazed a
moment with a cautious, anxious
stare, a thin, red streak of flame ran
rapidly up the trunk of a distant tree,
splitting and spreading among the
branches until, with an ominous hiss
ing, cracking sound, the leaves burst
put in a sudden blaze and the wind,
now blowing freshly toward the bay,
caught it and carried it along with
almost lightning like rapidity.
Selling Kittie by the arm, he said
as calmly as possible, 1--WE must hurry,
darling-see? The woods are all on
fire." and Kittie. fearless as himself,
took one swift look in the direc-
ton of the blaze, then dropped the
basket of treasures she had plucked
and with Roy's hand to guide and aid
her, ran heetly as possible across the
moss and in between the trees and
bushes.
It was a terrible race, for the fire
was gaining at every step and the
wind seemed blowing harder and

only after the injury is done that the
Insect goes underground and within

AS preventive measure it is recon-
mended that the trees be examined as
soon as the pears are well set, and
that every invested or suspected pear
be picked off and completely de-
stroyed, while if an orchard is gener-
ally infested the following practice is
recommended.
Cultivate as usual or, if the orchard
Is in grass or clover, plow under after

In August sow crimson clover. This
will use up the potash not required by
the fruit trees, and will store nitrogen
rs well as occupy the ground. Early
the following spring turn their sod
under as deeply as may be proper. 1t
should be done before the pear buds
are developed in order to head off and
destroy any midges then in the pupa
state near the surface of the soil. This
practice is, at the same time, the best
for the benefit of the orchard.

Providing Food for Plants.

There is perhaps no part of the farm
er's work SO deeply shrouded in mys-
terry, and therefore SO little under
stood, as that which relates to the
selection and application of manures.
Yet it is generally acknowledged that
in point of Importance the question
involved in this connection is unsur-
passed. Manuring land is simply an
other term for providing food for the
plants that may be sown thereon. The
principle is the same as that observed
In the feeding of animals; the differ
ence is merely in detail. Animals we
feed direct, plants we furnish through
the refining agency of the soil. But
In both cases we have first of all to
ascertain the chief requirements of the
CONSUMER" or what is practically the
same thing, the special class of article
it favors and responds to most liber-
ally. The feeding of animals, how
ever, complicated as it is, is even a
simpler matter than is the feeding of
crop.-Colman's Rural World.

A Story of PhIl sheridan.

When the talk turned upon Gen.
Sheridan at New York dinner table
the other evening the host told story
of how bitterly the generals figure on
horseback had disappointed some
young women up on the Massachu-
setts coast. They had never seen
Sheridan, but, mindful of his ride,
they had ready for him against his ar
rival at their fathers house a mettle-
horse in order that they might see him
in the saddle. When the guest ar
rived, instead of the slender, active
cavalry leader OF their vision, they
saw red-faced, thisk-waisted, short
winded old gentleman, whose presence
on the back of the animal they had
provided caused apprehension rather
than admiration. i've heard Sheri-
dams side of that stovy," said one Of
the guests, when the host had ceased
speaking. "A friend OF mine met him
the next day, and, noticing that he
limped, asked him what WINS the mat
ter. Sheridan's reply was: oh, was
over to IS yesterday, and those
girls of his asked me to ride with
them. There was no getting out of it,
but, as hadn't been on horseback for
year, I'm prutty sore all over. '"--N,

ADVICE FOR LAWMAKERS.

The hay loader is great saver of
labor, yet on many of the smaller
farms it may not be good policy to pur-
chase one.
IF the hay is to be shocked rake it in
large windrows, and avoid twisting as
much as possible in handling. Treated
this way it is easier to load and there is
less trouble in making good stack.
IT is best to start the mower in the
morning after the dew is gone. If
the hay is cut while still wet, especial
ly IF dew is very heavy, the effect
will be somewhat like that of light
shower.
WHERE there is considerable clover
mixed with hay it will pay to use a
tedder, especially during rainy weather
where it is desirable to get it into
the barn or stack as quickly as pos
sible after cutting.
AS A general rule timothy hay cut
when about half through blooming is
most desirable for all purposes. The
leaves and stalks then contain the
most digestible matter, seed does not
shatter, and there is little waste in
feeding.
AFTER the hay is partially dried, put
it into small shocks and let it there
dry out completely. Cured in this way
1t retains green color and is much
more readily eaten. The object is to
cure with the least possible exposure
to the sum- Orange Judd Farmer.

bird to greet the ear. There had been

and, although the enemy held the
ground right up to the fence on the
other side of the old cotton field, and
two hundred and fifty thousand men
were almost within cannon shot, grid
ing up their loins to do battle three
days later, it was so quiet and peace
full in the woods where our reserve
picket was stationed that men drowsed
and nodded with muslket in hand.
The captain sat with his back to
tree and his face to the enemy, smols-
ing his pipe and reading book. lay
on my blanket, smoking and watching
him. BY and by saw the book fall
from his hands, his chin sink down on
his breast, and 1 held up a warning
finger to one of the men who was
whistling as he got out his housewife
to mend rent in his jacket. BY and
by l looked away from the captain
across the field. Away over on the far
side, in the shadow of the green trees,
I caught the flash of steel now and
then. 1t was the sun striking on gun
barrel or bayonet in the hands of the
enemy. Between me and the edge of
the field a squirrel ran over the ground
