A FARMERS EXPERIENCE.
An Interesting Account Of How Corn Land
Wheat Was Made to Yield q
Bushels per Acre.

A South Christian farmer was in
our office Friday, July %. and stated
that he sowed II acres of corn land
wheat on 60 acres he sowed Armer
Bone M. al 100 lbs. to the acre Nine
acres were sowed without fertilizer.
The SO acres and the acres were all
in the same field and was the same
grade and character of soil. Sixty
three acres produced II bushels more
per acre than the 9 acres that were
not fortified He figured the invest
ment out as follows: Fertilizer used
was Armor Bone Meal. He used 100
pounds per acre on 63 acres. This
cost $3.50 per 100 pounds or $94.50 for
the 60 acres.
He sold his wheat for 65 cents per
buShel and gained IL bushels per acre
on GO acres by using the fertilizer, or
SOB bushels.
This at 65c pei bushel equals $45045.
Fertilizer $500 lbs at 1.50 cost $3.50
Net profit from using fertilizer $355.95
And that is not all; he was told by
the parties who received his wheat it
was the best No. 2wheat they had re-
ceived. This gentlemaD's name will
be furnished our patrons OH applica-
ton and his statements are borne out
by the man who threshed his wheat
He says that he has used this brand
of fertilizer for two years with the
same satisfactory results.
This is one of many similar instan-
ces we could cite Of advantage of iu-,
dicious fertilizing. A careful test
will bring you the same results.
Yours Truly,

SONG AND MUSIC.
Pronunciation In Singing Lessons For
Training the Ear.

Pronunciation In Singing Lessons For
Training the Ear.
America has long been credited with
being the land Of careless enunciation
in vocal music. OF the chief languages
of the world Italian is, of course, the
best for vocal use, since it has chiefly
open novels and crisp, clear consonants.
Freneh comes near to it, but has de-
gree of nasality. German falls short of
French because of the gutturals with
which it is garnished, and English
comes long disteice after German in
song, chiefly BECAUSE of many close
novels Gas in "bird" or "world"), of
bad combinations Of consonants (as i'll
"battle" or "gentlo'') and terrible nasal
effects Cos in "singing') in participates
and participial nouns Along with this
explanation a teacher writing in The
Etude says:
Yet English can be clearly pro-
nounced and made vocally effective if
the vocal teacher will but grasp the
nettle firmly In England the chief
vocal teachers devote great deal Of
time to exercises in enunciation. They
force every advanced pupil to be an
elocutionist in some degree. There is u
great difference, therefore, between the
performance of ballad in London and
tho same number in an American city.
In the former every word can be fol-
lowed by every auditor, in the latter
the American auditor can at times not
even identify the language in which
the song is given.
Another writer in the same journal
devotes space to the subject of ear train.
ing He says:
For number of years have devoted
ten minutes in each lesson to ear train
ing and have found the benefit result
ing therefrom SO great that consider
it now an indispensable part Of every
lesson hour. At the first lesson the
pupil, who is placed so that she cannot
see the keyboard, is required to distin-
| guish major and minor seconds by ear.
II she does not do this readily, the prac.
tice is continued at each lesson till she
can quickly determine whether the in
terval be major or minor. When the
ear can determine seconds, they are fol-
lowed by thirds, fourths, fifths and all
other intervals up to the tenth. When
all these intervals can be named as soon
as heard, major, minor, diminished and
augmented triads are explained, and the
pupil is required to distinguish them
by ear. After these come chords of the
seventh, diminished seventh and ninth,
major and minor scales, and the legato,
demi staccato, staccato, non legato and
elastic touches.
The principles of good pedalinR are
then taken up, and the pupil is required
to detect the slightest blur caused by
| slovenly use OF the damper pedal, and
also to analyze the pedaling in passages
played for her. Further work in ear
training will readily suggest itself to
the thoughtful teacher.

Today's paper contains a special
article by member of the staff I,
discussing the question of annex
alton to be or not to be in Decem.
Der. Opinions in this country at
this late day can hardly affect the
question one way or another, but
before people set their expects-
tions of the contamination at the
opening of Congress they should,
to avoid unnecessary disappoint-
ment, have good reasons for SO
doing. The most that can be
said for anticipating immediate
ratification of the treaty is that
there is possibility of the Re-
pub lean party,s being nearly
unanimous, with many Democrats
-concurring, in the opinion that
annexation is desirable at the
earliest possible moment and that
the act, TO be done at all this
presidential term, must be done
quickly. Let us here, however,
hope that it may be done by
means of the treaty, providing, as
that does, for preparing a form of
regular government without delay
after ratification. The mode Of a
joint resolution may be all right
but it involves uncertainties OF
procedure which may create COM
piications.

FRIDAY, OCT. %, 1897.

Some of the English press
opinions against the Hawaiian
policy of the United States, which
are reprinted in the Independent,
express strong belief that Japan
is greatly disappointed because
American annexation will defeat
her own designs on the islands.
From other sources it is learned
that the view is prevalent in
England, that the Hawaiian ques.
ton is simply whether the United
States or Japan shall own the
islands.

Doubtless the very best ar.
rsngement the French Govern
ment could make, for giving Ia
hiti steam communication with
America, is that of having the
Oceanic and Union steamers call
at Papeete. 1t will be remember
ed that a report in this paper, re-
ceived direct from the South Seas,
had this arrangement settled some
months ago. The plan was to
give up the comparatively profit
less call at Samoa in favor of Ia
hiti. Although that report was
premature, there is reason to be.
lieve that the scheme was under
negotiation. According to news
paper accounts received yesterday
it is still being considered.

Major Mulhauser, a tourist who
has been occupying one of the
cottages at the Hawaiian hotel for
some time past, attempted suicide
at 6 o'clock last night by shooting
himself with a revolver through
the chest while in his room. The
noise of the shot attracted a:ten.
ton and DR.. j. H. Raymond
was called. After a cursory ex-
animation he had the man driven
to the hospital, where the wound
was probed and the location of
the bullet found to be between
the lungs. The man will likely
recover, but no cause is assigned
for his rash act.
