NEW YORK, Aug. l3.-When it was an
nounced that Sir Arthur Sullivan would
come to the United States and direct for q
few times the production of one of the
light operas which lie and Mr.. Gilbert hai
written in collaboration, the interest which
was created in musical circles was so great
that a good many persons made arrange

city 10 see Mr.. Sullivan WELDING the con-
ductors baton.
But with the exception of Nr. Sullivan
no famous composer of operas has ever
appeared in the United States 10 direct n
performance Of one OF his compositions.
Strauss, the writer of very popular comic
operas and waltZes, did lead an orchestra
when he was on a visit 20 the United
States a good many years ago, but at that
time none of his operas had been produced
here. The announcement is now made
that we are 20 have two of the most IA.
nous of living opera composers in this
country this winter, and that a third and
probably the greatest musical genius now
living may possibly come also. One of the
two with whom negotiations have been
completed is MascaEni, the young italian
composer who avoke TO find himself IA
nous one morning some three years ago.
His opera. ''Cavalleria Rusticana," gain
ed quite as high favor in the United States
as it did in Europe, and the orchestral
piece which is played as an intermezZo has
been heard in every concert room in this
country.
Mascagni Will come to conduct his own
operas when they are produced by the

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-This city, which
its inhabitants delight to speak of expan-
sivoly rs the metropolis possesses many
characteristics in common with European
towns that are not to be found in other
American cities One Of them is the habit
Of sidewalk dancing. To be sure, it is not
developed to any great extent among adults
here, as it is IN London, where it is not at
all unusual to see full grown men and
women Of the working classes who have
never before seen one another join hands
and gyrate in the waltz or execute the steps
Of an old fashioned dance in the street, for
in America we are too self conscious for
that after we are grown up, even those -
Us who are foreign born.
But the simple hearted children of New
YorlI's sJrce5s-they often step few
measures to the music Of the hand organ

they make sometimes on the sidewalks.

partment and the Indifference Of the az
ricultural department and of other farm
ers' organizations and was successful
Many other circumstances prove the great
influence Of this farmers congress with
the congress Of the United States. Repre-
sentatiyeS and senators that treat with
contempt the demands Of the Alliance have
said that they always give consideration
to the requests of the farmers national
con gress. Yet this congress is, among
those not farmers, probably the least
known of the national organizations of
farmers-is certainly less known than the
Alliance or the Grange. This is partly ow
ing to the fact that the farmers national
congress has never gained notOriety by
advocating such things as subtreasuries
or government ? per cent loans to farm
ers. 1t is in part owing also to the fact
that the farmers national congress is not
political organization. 1t is careful to
emphasize this. At its last annual meet
ing it adopted, to correct wrong impress
sion in some quarters, a resolution reiter-
ating its nonpolitical character. In its
discussions the political aspects of econom-
ic and social problems cannot be avoided
it is not sought TO avoid them-but the
partisan
No Politics In 1t.
The congress has no political platform
and does not seek TO form political party.
OF its present officers its president, secre-
tary and treasurer happen TO be Republic
ans and the vice president and two assist
ant secretaries are Democrats. 1t is one
of the unwritten laws of the congress that
Il
his political interests. Two years ago its
then president was nominated by the r
publicans for governor of Kansas. That no
reproach of office seeking might be laid at
the door of the congress he remained
away from the two annual meetings ovNr
which he had been elected to preside. His
predecessor was nominated for governor
by the Democrats of Alabama. As soon rs
his nomination was suggested he severed
his connection with the congress.
The congress IS not composed of Office
seekers, but of practical progressive farm
ers. 1t Is not composed of theorists that
prefer 10 overturn existing institutions
and TO reform the world in day, but of
students Of history, economies and human
nature. 1t Is not composed of self ap-
pointed cranky delegates but of influen-
tlal men appointed by the governors OF the
states-One for each congressional district
and two at large from each state. Each
state bureau of agriculture and each state
agricultural experiment station is entitled
to a delegate. \ four days meeting is
held annually, and at each of the last five
annual meetings above 80 states have been
represented by delegates. The meeting in
1898 was held in Savannah; in 1892, in
Lincoln; in 1891, in Sedalia; in 1890, in

ROTATION OF CROPS.
The Methods Best Adapted to Preserv.
the Fertility of the Soil.

The Methods Best Adapted to Preserv.
the Fertility of the Soil.
To preserve the fertility of the soil,
three methods are being practiced by
our best farmers, viz: Rotation Of
crops, application of commercial fer
tilizers and use of barnyard manure.
Though in general all three are blend
ed together, the first is of primary inn
portance, as it costs nothing but labor
of mind in determining the relative
value of crops produced and condition
in which soil is left. Systems of rota-
ton necessarily vary in different local
tiles to meet the demands of SOIL pre-
cipitation, temperature, market
and special crops. The Califor-
MIA farmer must leave out clover,
timothy and corn. The Kansas farm
err clover and all the tame grasses.
The southern farmer most of the cereals,
but has cow peas as a substitute for
clover. From experience and observa-
tion from Pittsburgh to San Francisco
in no part of the United States has the
farmer so wide field for crop rotation
as in the Ohio valley.
On the uplands of southwestern Ohio
three systems are practiced by our best
farmers Those on the heavy oak soils
who make timothy nay spe' iulty fol-
low four or five-year rotation. Plant
corn on timothy sod, which is sown in
wheat and seeded to timothy. Pasture
first year lightly, second and third year
NOW, then back to corn, etc The
corn ground is generally MANFRED
heavily and commercial fertilizers used
on the wheat. In this system corn
must be cut and the wheat is late sown.
Another system where wheat and corn
are the special crops is wheat sown on
corn ground plowcd in June, this seeded
in clover, first crop cut, second plowed
under for corn, etc. BY this rotation
oats are left out. A system that suits
our wants, where ten mich cows are
kept for butter, is as follows: Corn or
clover, followed by oats; one-half of
oat stubble seeded to clover, the other
half sown in wheat and seeded to clover
and timothy. Glover is cut first year
and clover and timothy pastured first
year and cut second and third By this
system we have timothy sod for corn
every fourth year, and have timothy,
corn and oats for seed for horses, clover
hay and fodder for milch cows and
sufficient straw for bedding Our clover
sod in generally manfred for corn and
use commercial fertilizer for wheat,
which will pay in way of good stand
of clover and timothy.-National Stock
