WHY PASTURE FAILS.

WHY PASTURE FAILS.
1t is common to hear of pastures
failing late in the summer, when the
hottest and dryest weather is often
experienced. There are numerous
reasons for this unfortunate condition
such as the poor soil of the pasture,
over-stocking, etc., but one of the
the preventable reasons is the steady
cropping that keeps the grass short on
the dry portions of the pasture land at
time when the grass roots especially
need shade. When once the grass gets
short in very hot weather the roots
dry up before they can send up blades
to make shade for them. To meet
this condition divide the pasture, as I
have before advocated, into two por-
tions by division fence, so as to
bring the moister portion into one
division and the dryer into another.
Then turn the stock first into one part
and then into the other, allowing the
cattle to stay in one only while there
remains sufficient grass to thoroughly
shade the roots, planning always so
that the stock may be occupying the
moister pasture in the hottest and
dryest part of the summer.

Mark Twain's Earnings.

The misfortunes of Mr.. Clements
have been emphasized by legal pro-
ceeding which indicate that the once
successful author lost the handsome
fortune which he once possessed. Com
modore Vanderbilt once said that it
was great deal harder to keep for
tune than it was to make it. He
meant by that that it was more diff
cult to invest money safely and profit
ably than it was to get the money for
investment.
That has been Mark Twain's exper-
ience. He had at one time the record
of having made the most money by his
writing of any American author. Mr..
Bronson Howard is reported to have
accumulated some 100000 as royal
ties upon his plays. Miss Alcott made
about 100000, much of it from her
two books "Little Women" and "Lit-
tie Men," Mrs. Burnett gained some
$4,000 in royalties upon her play
"Little Lord Fauntleroy," and that
was twice as much as she had received
for all her other writings. Mr.. Blaine
received about 5000, 900 for hiss'Twenty
Years in Congress-"
But Mark Twain's earnings went
far beyond those gained by any other
American writer. His royalties upon
1.-The 1nnocents Abroad' reached
$4,000 in less than three years, as
has been reported. His royalties upon
"The Gilded Age" were about $50, 900.
and Mr.. Raymond once told me that
he had paid Mark Twain 100000 in
royalties for the play dramatized from
that story. His profits from "Tom
Sawyer" reached far up into the thous-
ands and were very large for 'sRough-
ing it" and Life Upon the Mississ-
ippi." He did very we'll, too, with his
prince and Pauper," and at one time
he was estimated to have gained in all
about $500, 900 from his writing, and
from his investments so much more

EXToRTIONATE FREIGHT RATES.

EXToRTIONATE FREIGHT RATES.
Freight charges on fruit from the
Delaware and Maryland Peninsula
were so high 25 years ago as to be con-
sidered almost prohibitive. Yet at
the present time rates are about the
same that they were then, while the
price of the product carried has dimin-
ished to about one-half, and the prices
of almost everything else are corre-
spondingly low.
A month ago the Interstate Com
merce Commission, on the petition of
the Georgia fruit growers, heard their
grievances against the railroad COM
panies and ordered a reduction in
charges on carrying fruit to New York
from 81 to IS cents per 100 pounds.
This was substantial cut 20 per
cent.
But California shippers enjoy good
deal better proportionate rates than
the Georgians, even after the reduc-
tions noted above have been made.
From atlanta, Georgia, to New York
the distance is $50 miles, and the
freight rate is now IS cents per hun
dred pounds for fruit by the carload
This would be $156 per carload. of
"a, 4,OO0 pounds, for freight charges, or
trifle over 1S cents per mile per car
load. But the distance from San
Francisco 20 New York is $3.50 miles,
and the freight rate 81 so per hundred
pounds, or $500 per car. This is
little less than II cents per mile per
carload Of fruit or freight rate of
My 61 per cent of that from Georgia,
when length of haul is taken into ac-
count.
Delaware, however is in much |
worse plight as regards freight rates,
than any other State in the Union.
With freight line having monopoly, |
the charge from Wyoming to New
York, on carloads, is 46 cents per 100
pounds, or $110.40 for carload Of a.

TURNIPS AS A FARM CROP.

TURNIPS AS A FARM CROP.
Now is the time to SOW turnip seed
l have always found the fall turniE
crop very profitable one. I cannot
recommend the attempt to grow spring
turnips as a field crop. Nearly always
it will be failure. The season is un.
favorable, and the turnip fly destruc-
tive. But sown the last of July OF
early in August august st to 10th is
best in this latitude-the fortieth par.
alleD, turnlps are as sure as corn Oh
wheat or oats or potatoes. When right
methods are used, they are easily
grown; the product Of an acre is large,
and has feeding value greater than
one might infer from the chemical
analyses.
Turnips are cheap crop. To begin
with one can probably grow them on
land that has already produced crop
this season. Take the early potato
patches, for example. The potatoes
should be dug as soon as they
are mature. They are better out of
the ground than in it. If the ground
is not cropped after the potatoes are
removed, a growth Of weeds may
spring up, to befoul not only the pota-
to patch, but the contiguous land.
Hence it is better, on this score, to
put the ground in turnips than to al
low it to lie idle. 1t follows that we
must not charge the turnip crop with
much rent, if we charge it with any.
Little labor is required to prepare
the land, for the removal of the pota-
toes has stirred it and somewhat fined
it. However, the ground for turnips
must be in fine tilth. One is not apt
to err in the direction of putting
too much labor on the ground. The
chances are ten to one that not enough
labor will be expended. The ground
should be thoroughly pulverized and
nicely compacted.

times the mileage rate paid by Cali
fornians.
Two years ago the railroads took
from Delaware and Maryland over one
half the gross sales from peaches for
carrying the fruit over their roads.
This summer the story promises to be
repeated.
The fruit growers grumble while
they are paying the bill, but on the
whole they like it, else why should
they sustain the monopoly every time
they have chance.-Ne,os and Aduer-

FARM NOTES FOR THE MONTH.

AKIN NOIES FOR THE MONTH.
Spring wheat in the north west is
very promising. For three years this
region has suffered from unfavorable
conditions and badly needs season of
good crops and fair prices.
Dear hay will make cheap cattle, un-
less substitute crops like millet and
corn have been largely planted. Rain
came in time to plant these catch crops
and they are likely to brighten the
stock-keeper's outlook.
The thresher has revealed a disap-
pointing yield Of winter wheat. With
a short home crop, and no increase in
the Worlds supply, outside of the
United States, and the stock of old
wheat lighter than usual, there ap-
pears to be good reason for higher
prices.
Corn has been making up for time
lost early in the season, and if favora-
BILE condition continue there will be a
big crop.
The same remarks apply to potatoes.
The acreage is large, and with only
moderate yield the aggregate will be
immense.
Taking the country as whole the
hay crop is short one. In several
states, notably Kentucky, Indiana,
Ohio and westward to Nebraska the
the grass was very light on account
of prolonged drought. A very poor
crop is reported in New York and
and New England, also. Prices are
likely to be high.-Farm Journal.

Another demand has since been made
