Long Chase Rewarded.

A farmer from the Chupaderas, IS miles
from San Antonio, yesterday chased in to
this city to younger farmer from the same
locality. and called a policeman to arrest
him. because the younger man, he said,
was trying to sell yoke of oxen which
rightfuiIy belonged to him, the complain
ant, as he, the young men had pledged
them to him for debt. The young man
said he was trying to sell them, but plead
ed that he was so poor and his family so
hungry that be was desperate. He was
taken before Justice Jones, who refused
to entertain a criminal charge, but or
dered the oxen to be given up to the old
man. Their names could not be learned,
as neither party could find time between
their heated arguments pro and con to
give their names to the officials.

Green NIanuring.

soda ON corn and with pea vines as
compared with timothy sod turned I'M
der for rye are told i'll bulletin from
the Delaware station. On one of two adj
joining plats crop Of crimson clover,
estimated at S tons 600 pounds per
acre, was turned under during the first
week of June, and the land immediate
~ planted with corn. On the other
corn was planted June and top dressed
with 100 pounds of nitrate of soda per
acre. Eight tons GOO pounds of crimson
acre, added "a bushels to the corn crop.
One dollar invested in nitrate Of soda
and used as a top dressing added six
bushels to the corn crop. Hence in this
case 81 invested i'll clover seed returned
four times as much as 81 invested for
nitrate of soda. AS to the relative
amount of labor involved, the sowing of
the seed and the broadcasting of the
nitrate possibly balance each other
Flowing down a green crop is doubtless
far more costly than blowing bare
ground. This drawback may reduce the
above named apparent gain by approx
mately % per cent.
Rye was grown on two fourth acre
plats, on one of which a heavy growth
of cowpea vines was turned under, and
on the other a thin sod of timothy, with
the following results: -Four acres
dressed with pea vines yielded SO bush
els of rye; four acres of timothy sod
yielded Is bushels of rye. Unless, there
fore, condition quite unknown and I'M
suspected at this time influenced the re-
suits, green manuring with pea vines

About 10 years ago John Burns, a west

Of Bobby Burns uncles, began to attract
attention as a champion of labor's cause.
He was then about 30 years of age and
was n working engineer who had read
Ruskin and Adam Smith and who had de-
veloped into socialist, thinker and advo-
cate of living wages. In 1889 he gained
worldwide celebrity by his masterful man

desperate and half starved, followed his
leadership, and owing to his wise councils

Surface Irrigation.

There are thousands of farms among
the hills Of New England on which may
be found places Of from a good sized
garden up to several acres which can be
very easily and cheaply irrigated, and
in a dry season the porductiyeness dou-
bled or trebled and oftentimes a whole
crop saved by this alone Where there
Is living spring on hillside above
such a piece of land a few hogsheads
placed on framework to give s or 10
feet elevation above the crop, and at
short intervals Of within 90 to 100 feet
of each other and fed by line of one
half to an inch condemned gas pipe laid
on the surface, will give a constant and
sufficient supply. Without the expense
Of conduits and checks for a system Of
tlowage, you can, with hose pipe and
nozzle sprinkler, which can be attached
to the hOgsheads by means of a common
coupling stopcock, apply the water in
natures way and as it is needed Use
the sprinkler early in the morning be-
fore the sun is high, or near evening,
and you will have a very satisfactory
system of irrigation under your control
and at very little expense. The pipe
can be obtained Of any plumber, and
the hose and nozzle of a hardware deal

be bought at low price that will an

CHEMICALS AND CLOVER.
A Combination That Ha. Been Made TO Pay
on Many Eastern Farms.

II. w. Collinwood, in his instructive
manual on chemicals and clover, gives
a record of successful farm operations
in New Jersey where high grade com
plete manuros and sod supply a cheaper
manure than that obtained from keep
ing stock. He says: Chemicals and sod
supply every element that is furnished
IN the stable manure. On some farms
the chemicals are cheaper than the ma
uure. On a good many eastern farms
grass sod and chemicals make better
and cheaper dressing" than stable ma
nure. On many other farms smaller
quantities of fertilizers added to the
present stable manure will pay a double
profit because they might be used to
supply what the soil needs and what the
manure lacks. Some farmers are making
stable manure at loss-that is, the hay
and grain fed to stock and the labor
spent in feeding them cost more, after
the resulting meat, milk or wool is sold,
than the same amount of fertility"
would cost if bought in the form of fer
tilizers. There are thousands of farmers
who spend all the way from $500 to
81, 200 in cash for fertilizers each year.
They are, almost without exception,
highly successful, making money at
farming while their farms are Of good
heart and constantly growing heartier.
How did they learn to farm i'll this
way? By talking fertilizers" ana
thinking fertilizers They made mis-.
takes and failures and might have stop.
ped several times and said, "Fertilizers
don't pay" They stuck to the use OF
them long enough to learn that the way
to use fertilizers with profit is to have
them in a rotation i'll which grass sod
plays a prominent part
In the course of Mr.. CollinwOod's in
vestigations he visited Cranberry, N.
j., where this system of farming with
chemicals and clover has been carried
on some % years-long enough to test
all its possible weak points-found a
community of farmers growing rich at
producing hay, potatoes corn and wheat,
keeping just as little live stock as
possible. Yes, growing rich in direct
competition with the west and on this
unnatural" system of chemical ma
nuring. After trying all sorts of ferti-
lizers the cranberry farmers have de-
cided that there is about the same differ
ence between high grade and low grade
goods that there is between we'll bred
and scrub stock. Starve a hired man,
and you weaken his back. Cut off a
horses feed and he will quit in the
middle of a race. A potato plant is as
eXacting as horse or hired man, and
it is just as liable to suffer from a starva-
ton diet AZ either, while one advan-
tage it has over them is that it will
has enough and will take up only what
it can assimilate. The rest it leaves in
the soil, where it is as safe as money in
the bank.

branched out in the coasting trade for
himself, and in 1864, when the Australian
crops failed, he and his brother extended
their operations to South America. When
Sir George and his family arrived at Con-
ccpcion, Chile there was war between
Chile and Peru and Spain, and the harbor
was blockaded, but Sir George sailed
straight into the harbor despite hail of
shot and shell from the blOckading fleet.
Soon thereafter Sir George declined to
pay the costs in a libel suit and remained
a year in the debtors department of Oar
linghurst Jail, where ladies decorated his
cell with flowers and 3, 800 people visited
him. He had a lathe on which he turned
a beautiful cup, which he presented to the
colonial secretary, Sir Henry Parks. After
IL months of prison life Sir George paid
his costs and left the Jail
Sir George is feet inches tall and is
built in proportion. He has been married
80 years and has 10 children In 1874,
after having made fortune in trade he
turned his attention to politics and was
elected to the New South Wales legislative
assembly. In 1885 he acted as first colo
NAL secretary and premier, and since then
he has several times held the premiership.
His ministry resigned recently, but Sir
George will doubtless be prominently in
evidence again before long. He is very
practical man and enjoys working in his
little blacksmith shop as heartily as Glad
stone enjoyed wood chopping at Hawar
den, Sir George is also carpenter, ma
son, gardener and all round artisan. He
was the first,native born Australian pre-
micr ever presented to Queen Victoria, and
when she knighted the tall statesman she
was compelled to look up to him, although
he was on his knees before her.

WHY Use So Much FertiIizerq

The managing editor of The Rural
New Yorker once asked a New Jersey
farmer why he used so much fertilizer.
Here is his reply;
Il have used fertilizers for five years.
I use 1900 pounds per acre on potatoes
My experience is that the more 1 spend
in this way the more proportionately l
get back. Last year sold 81, 100 worth
of hay. l have 100 acres of land. Our
farms are assessed for the same amount
whether we use 400 or l, 500 pounds per
acre. If by using l, 500 pounds we can
double our crops (and we have done so),
it is good business policy to use the
larger amount. "

One of the most brilliant women preach

1898, and has since been delivering able
and eloquent sermons, many of which deal
with the topics of the hour Mrs. Woolley
was born in Ohio, but removed to Cold

DR.. J. II. Wooley Mrs. Woollcy had been
for some time of literary and theological
turn of mind, and when her husband re-
moved to Chicago in 1876 she began con-
tributing prose and verse to various publ
cations.
For eight years she was correspondent
of Boston religious paper and in 1890
she became assistant editor of "a similar
publication in Chicago. Love and The
ology," a novel from her pen, attracted
considerable attention and was classed by
many critics with the better known novels
of Mrs. Ward, Olive Schreiner and Mar
garet Deland. Since the issue of her first
novel Mrs. Woolley has published several
others, which have won fair need of pop

Mrs. Woolley was not content, however,
to limit her theological output to fiction
