the best time to apply nitrate of soda to
spring wheat to be half at time It

Experiments with oats in Germany
show that varieties most productive on

In soil and not to difference in variety.
The Alabama station finds more than
six times as much nitrogen in cowpea
vinesin the fall as in the same vines the
next spring, after they had lain on the
ground all winter. The clear inference
is that the vines should be plowed under
In the fall rather than let them lie on
the surface till spring.
Examinations by experiment stations
show that American clover seed Is

There is one thing which is not gen.
orally known to the public. That is,
Mosby and his men never received one
cent from the confederate government
Each man provided himself with his
own uniform. horse and arms, and
boarded himself. The United States
government furnished us with captured
horses, arms and ammunition. and the
extra horses captured paid our board;
so, instead Of receiving pay from the
confederate government we turned
over to them horses, mules and arms.
] will mention one incident to show
what an honorable and conscientious
man Col. Mosby was. On the greenback
raid when we captured sl6S.OOO. before
division was made Of the money $780,
900 was offered Col. Mosby. which he de-
clined to receive, nor did he ever take
anything for his own Use that had been
captured. Washington Post.

bring their umbrellas when 1t LOOKS
like rain? I'm glad to see them hust-
ling along now for shelter, and hope
they'll get soaked before they find it.
If they'd taken little thought before
starting out, they'd be all right now,
and wouldn't have togo oack up those
stairs after my UMBRELLA and Mr..
Drazzle, with objurgations OIL his fel-
low citizens, went back upstars.-N. Y.

Drinking Water At Sea.

The Italian battleship Christoforo
Colombo has a curious arrangement
for furnishing her seamen with drink
ing water Experience proved that
drinking large quantities of cold water
after violent exercise, especially while
cruising in the tropics, caused many
deaths. The water tanks on the battle
ships were designed to prevent such
indiscretion. The water tanks on the
vessel are connected with innumerable
little rubber hoses and on the end Of
each hose is small rubber nipple.
Whenever any seaman wants drinking
water he must turn stop cock and
then suck it through the hose and nip
pie. II is slow work, but it has been
found that It preserves many valuable
lives.-Chicago Chronicle.
