Secretary Morton declares that the
pillow used by the American farmer is
q humbug and an enemy to fertility.
Said the Secretary: awe have inn
proved our plows less than any other
implement man uses. The pillow used
in Nebraska and other stoneless soils
impacks every furrow it passes over
and renders it as impervious to rain
fall as possible. The draft of a pillow
is downward to such an extent that
the full force of the teams strength is
exhausted in pressing the bottom of
the furrow into a polished trough for
the conduction of rain down the side
hills. We must have some method of
tillage which shall stir up the soil and
subsoil to the depth of eighteen inches
and more. If it were possible to
loosen the soil and subsoil down for
three feet all over the State of Ne
braska, we could then, with an annual
rainfall of twenty inches, make album
dant and profitable crops. Until deep
plowing--through subsoil tillage-be-
comes universal in that commonwealth
there will be, year in and year out, no
certainty of remunerative crops. Pro-
lessor Shaler, of Harvard, estimates
that the present inefficient and lire
sulting methods of blowing, especially
npon undulating lands, cost the far
mers of the United States $50 square
miles of soil each year by erosion.
Everywhere in Nebraska where torren-
tial rainfalls are so frequent the side
hills mutely verify Professor Shaler'a
theory as to the annual waste of washed
lands. This is a matter of such vast
Importance that I have asked Chan
cellor Garfield, of the University of
Nebraska, to bring it before the 1900
students in that institution and ask
them to try and think out new i'm
plement of agriculture which shall
eupersede the pillow. 1t is a subject
upon which the inventive minds of
educated farmers should DO concen-
trated. Aproper solution of the diff
Guilty will facilitate subsoil tillage and
at the same time save both the crops
and the soil. In my judgment the
coming implement should spade the
land and turn it over, as man who
pushes the spade with his foot into
the ground and drawing the spade out
turns the soil upside down by the
twist Of his wrists. Possibly a rotary
spader could be invented. Possibly
an implement consisting of large
number of revolving knives could b.
made so that in passing over the sur
face of the field it shall chop up tn,
soil and subsoil for two feet in such
manner as to render the percolatiol
Of the rainfall down to the depth a
which the ground has been stirret
very easy and perfect"

J. Ross writes in the Engineering
and Mining Journal that since the
diamond discoveries in South Africa
The Brazilian diamond-mining indus
try has fallen so low that the annual
output is now not over $3.50, 900, when
thirty years ago it was upward of 3d.
300, 1000. Brazilian diamonds are so
much smaller than the African that it
does not pay to mine them against
African competition.

Packing Horse Meat.

J. M. Switzler has sold three thous-
and horses to a Portland, Oregon, syn
dictate. The animals are to be slaugh-
tered at Portland, Mr.. Switzler says,
and the meat packed and all parts of
the carcass utilized. This is now the
only market for the thousands of
horses in eastern Oregon and Wash
ington ranges. The price was less
than $5 per head.

Care of the Ears.

A prominent physician says that
more than half of the ear troubles
from which people suffer during the
cold weather can be traced TO the
habit of picking at the ears with the
hngernails or hairpins or some other
hard substance, which irritates the
delicate inside of the ear. Instead of
this injurious picking" the ears
should be washed out with warm
water and a little good soap, and thor
oughly dried after the operation. If
the ears are sensitive a little cotton
may be put in before going into the
open air, though this is apt to make
them even more sensitive In ex-
tremely cold weather before venturing
out good way to clean the ears Is TO
wrap the corner OF a. towel around
the finger, and with little cold cream
carefully wipe out the auricle. 1t
will remove every particle of dust and
will really protect the ears from the
cold, but 1t can scarcely be recon.
mended for regular use, e,-New York

A Remarkable Family.

On a pretty little farm high mp
among the hills of Calhoun County,
Alabama, 1000 feet above the sea, lives
most remarkable family. Their
name is Sadler. The family consists
of brother and four sisters, and the
youngest has already turned her
ninety-frst year. The oldest is several
years more than century old. None
of them has ever married. The Sadlers
were born in the Old Dominion State.
In 1881 the family moved to Alabama
and Calhoun County, about fifteen
miles east of Annison. Two years
later they became possessed of the
property on which they now live, aud
there erected a log house. which domi-
cile they have since inhabited con
stantly. Years ago the father and
mother died, the former at the age of
ninety-one, the latter at the age of
seventy-fve. e.-Chattanooga (Tenn.

A Queens Curious Mnrs.

Madagascar's Queen, according to all
accounts, has many curious ways and
traits of character. She is always
dressed in the latest Partisan styie.
Her private expenses arc met by a
fund called the "hasina," - to which
all who come into the presence of her
Majesty are required to contribute a
ive-franc piece. 1t is the duty of the
youngest member of the royal family
to present hat, into which the coin is
dropped. Moreover, whenever the
Queen travels the inhabitants of all
the towns and villages she visits are
expected to contribute to the same
fund either in money or kind. She is
very fond of games, particularly of
lotto and billiards, and she aatters
herself she can fly kite higher than
anyone of her subjects. Chicago

Russia Has Large Cavalry Forces,

A German paper states that the ere.
alton of the new Russian army corps
in Poland will lead to the concentra-
tlon OF such masses of cavalry as are
found in no other army in the world.
In the Government of Warsaw there
will be three divisions of cavalry,
three regiments of Cossacks, and cor.
responding batteries of horse artillery.
This great mass of cavalry will face
the German frontier and have its
centre at Warsaw, its right resting on
Plotz and its left on Lublin. It is re.
ported that some time ago secret
maneuvers were held in the Govern
ment of Wilma to test the possibility
OF handling such masses of cavalry,
with the result that the commander
in-chlef expressed an opinion that no
troops could stand before them. This
may be true, says the German critic,
but how can such numbers be marched
about any country and fed altogether?
Handling them would be an easy mat.

The famous Berlin professor, yir-
chow, is most outspol5en opponent
of the Darwinian theory as applied on
the Continent to tho descent of man
from lower order of creatures. AT
the international Anthropological
Congress at Innsbruck, of which asso-
citation he is the veteran President.
the Now York Observer states that he
again poured out his vials of wrath
and scorn on the advocates of this
theory. He claims that Darwin him
self originally abstained from apply
ing his theory to the descent of man,
and that only later the ape theory
was adopted. 'fMen might as we'll
have invented theory of the descent
OF man from a sheep" continued Vir-
chow. He regards the problem in
volved as one that can never be scien-
ti6cally solved.

down, saw John Martin at the base,
sitting upon q rock, his head bowed

about his neck.

BY the time Alaska is ready for set
tlement its resources will probably be
much improved, which is far better
than to have a great wave of immi-
grafton to destroy them. The Siber-
ian reindeer taken to Alaska are in
creasing rapidly, and this domesticated
animal will be an invaluable help to
settlers. If the waste of fish and game
along the coast could be stopped, the

That build their nests and pair and sing,
Nor wait for mateless nightingale;
I'd listen TO the lusty herds,
The ewes with lambs as white as snow,
I'd ind out music in the hall
And all the winds that blow.
II might see another spring
oh, stinging comment on my past
That all my past results in eff

A Vienna scoundrel named Shapiro
has been working a green goods swim
die on the greedy and credulous of
that city with great success. He has
improved on the American game very
decidedly. His scheme is to sell
only genuine notes. OF course the
buyers had no trouble in working
them of, and soon his wares came into
great demand, and he received orders
by the score. All meetings for the
delivery of the goods were arranged to
take place at solitary spots on the
frontiers. When the orders were for
small amounts, Shapiro allowed them
to go, as bats for more business, but
when the sale was large, the transfer
would no sooner be consummated than
policemen would appear and arrest
the parties, contiscating all the money,
The swindlers would be held, but the
swindled would be allowed to go, as
having suffered enough by losing
their money. The police, who were
confederates of the swindlers, would
then return the money to the office of
the firm. Some of the dupes caught
on to the scheme, but they were afraid
to complain, as they were criminally
connected with the transaction. When
rumors of his crooked work reached
the ears of the authorities, Shapiro
absconded. He was arrested recently
in Rotterdam.
