Railroad Agents Go to
St. Louis.
MUCH SPECULATION As TO TIIEIt
JOURNEY AND WHAT ITS
OBJECT Is-

MORTON is INVITED.
HE MAY ATTEND THE CATTLE
MEMS CONVENTION IN MARCH.

Tho simultaneous and rather mystic
rious departure of the live stock agents
of all the railroads centcring in Fort
Worth to St. Louis caused considerable
comment yesterday and speculation
was rife among those interested in
such matters as to the object OF their
visit to that city. 1t was at first
thought that 1t might have some ref
erence to arranging for more liberal
rates to the cattlemens' convention, but
as that matter had already been finally
arranged that theory had to be aband-
oned. 1t developed that the real pur-
pose OF the live stock agents In going
10 st. Louis was TO attend meeting
yesterday OF special committee of the
Southwestern Traffic Association. ana
IL was agreed that the main object of
the meeting was TO consider Texas live
stock rates But as to the exact pur-
pose, or az to what would likely be
done, no one seemed to know, and even
Colonel James \. Wilson. the newspa-
per mans friend, who ought to know II
anybody in Fort Worth does. when APP
preached upon the subject was as
voiceless as sphinx. II If generally
understood that the matter of shipping
rates of live stock, as well as many
other things, is fixed by the Interstate
commerce commission, but the rnil-
road live stock agents are very sharp
fellows and rusters for business from
away back. and II is said that in their
enthusiasm and determination TO
get business for their respective roads
they frequently resort to shrewd
schemes, such as granting rebates TO
shippers, etc. and II Is further said that
this custom may have been followed
to such an extent as to make II neces-
sary to come to some sort Of an agree
ment, hence the ST. Louis meeting yes
terday. incidentally the meeting VIII
probably consider the question of cat
tie shipping rates to the territory con-
ssouent upon the opening of the Choc-
taw, Oklahoma and and Gulf railroad.

ALFALFA AND CLOVER.

Conclusions Drawn from an Indiana En-
pertinent Station Report.
Alfalfa has been grown several years
| at the Indian experiment station, and
| VIC. Latta, agriculturistof the station,
| speaking from experience, says that
although alfalfa can, when well started,
| endure drought better than clover, il
cannot produce three or more crops the
same season without irrigation. This
information is necessary to counteract
statements made by some enthusiasts,
who may, unintentionally, mislead
some into displacing clover with alfalfa.
on account of the alleged immense
yields of the latter.
At the station it was found that al
falfa is more feeble than clover at the
start, and is very liable to be choked by
weeds the first season; that it increases.
in vigor until the third year at least,
and thus maintains itself better and
! longer in the soil than common red,
mammoth or alsike clover; that in very,
dry seasons-lil1e 1S95-it may yield
more hay than clover; that in normal
seasons it sometimes yields less than
clover; that but two cuttings of alfalfa
may be expected the same season with
out irrigation.
In any fertile soil, having sufficiently
porous sub-soil to permit it to strike
deep root into the lower, permanently
moist earth, the alfalfa will probably do
well. 1t is said to do best in light, cal
careous loans, underlaid with porous
subsoil. The land should be thorough
ly and deeply drained, and may be
plowed to advantage. Subsoil in the
fall, but sow the seed in the spring.
Close pasturing by any class of stock
is injurious TO alfalfa, and sheep should
not be allowed upon it, but not grazed
too close it will endure pasturing fairly
well. 1t is, however, best for hay.
In any soil where red clover thrives
it is not wise to discard it for alfalfa
without first experimenting with the
latter. If experience proves it superior
to clover as a seed, soil renovator and
a yielder, then change can be safely,
made.-Journal of Agriculture.

Perfection. Z,
Many may think that marking out
corn ground is small matter, yet il
should not be so considered, because
much convenience Observation-Disclosures
of the crop depends on straight rows.
a thing that most farmers find it diff
cult to make. 1 have used several sorts
of markers, but was never sure of doing
a good job till / used one like that illus
trated. / was so pleased with it that
want others to try it, for don't think
one should be selfish with providential
success.
1t is far ahead of the four-row fold
ing marker; can ride or walk with
equal advantage, as the tongue comes
directly over the mark, giving one
great advantage over the team. The
tongue is light and easily put on.
Bolt the pieces to the tongue, which
should fit close to the sides of the run
ner, the front end of which should be
about inches longer than the out
side ones, and about inches wide

will stay.
Make the gauge the length of three
spaces and or inches longer.
Hinge it to the middle runner lat c.
SO that it will turn over from one side to
the other. Make it of hard wood, to
5 inches wide, and to exactly fit in a
space between the top boards. To hinge
1t, thin one end of gauge to thickness
of small bolt, about inches longer
than width of gauge, and bend piece
OF tin over bolt, and nail both sides.
Cut notches in top boards right over
the center of runner, to let the ends
OF bolt in, with hole in one of them
for head of bolt; drive staple over head
end of bolt, close to hole, and fasten
turn-button over the other. Thus the
gauge can be easily taken off when
not in marking use. a turn-button over

Crops for Home Use,

An economical mode of growing early
tomatoes, melons, ETC., where but a few
are desired to produce crops for home
use, is to use egg shells. Break the
shells near the small ends, fill with rich
dirt and plant few seeds of the kind
desired. The shells may be set in a
shallow pan or box of bran, and placed
in the sunlight on warm days, care be-
ing taken not to expose them to cold at
night. When transplaning simply
set the shell with the plant in the
ground. The roots of the plant will

General Weyler's Giee.

It 10 reported from Cuba that Capt. Gen.
weyier is more than pleased with the ac-
tiou OF this government respecting The
steamship Bermuda and the leaders OF the
expedition that were to sail on it. In fact.
he is said to haze metaphorically slapped
the United States on the back and giorified

Pinkerton detectives. the latter in the pay

This is not surprising. for IL the United
States were the most active sympathizer
of Spain In the effort to perpetuatc the

lated to help the insurgent cause.

gress were to pass joint resolution direct

vote wo,ld Dullify that veto and put things

Congress has been in session nearly
three months, and SO far has simply played a
game OF shuttlecock and battiedoor with the
hopes and aspirations OF the Cuban republic.
SO far is they relate to its recognition as q

the score OF apprehension lest the United
States should lose its right to make claims
fordamag ges TO property in Cuba belongingtO
American citizens, but this has been ex-
ploded by the correspondence of Secretary
olney, in which it is clearly stated that'nO
such claims could be preferred in any event.
By far the greater number OF Congress
men favor the recognition OF the iDsur-
gents and heartily hope for the success Of
the Cuban patriots cause. 1t is difficult
to understand, therefore. why this synIpa-
thy cannot be crystallized in some action

Indecent Publications.

There is a law In force in the District
OF Columbia which prohibits the exposure
in show windows or elsewhere OF indecent
pictures and literature. That law is flag
rantly Violated every day OF the week.
Sunday not excepted. The orfense comes
almost hourly under the notice of the
police. but no steps are taken to abate
the nuisance. Now and then some blue
coated guardian of the law takes 1t into
his head that some work OF art Is under
the ban and causes a reputable business
man considerable annoyance. but he never
dreams OF interfering with the so-caled
sporting papers. printed on pink, and con-
tanning cuts that are vile iii their sug-
gestivencss.
The harm done by these publications can
not even be guessed at. They dctauch the
minds of the young and pander to the de-
based Imagination OF salacious adults.
They are filled with nothing but degrading
readings matter. and the Illustrations, IL nct
positively obscene, are disgustingiy sug-
