Time for Payment VIII Be Up at 2
O'Clock Tomorrow Afternoon.
Tomorrow will be the last day for the
payment of state and county tAes, as
well as the specific taxes upon professions,
presidents of corporations and others of
that class.
During the week which has just closed
the tax collector, Capt. J. J. MCGOWAN,
has taken in more than $4,000, the total
collections at the close Of the week
amounting to about S275, 600, or more. This
is some $780, 600 to $4,000 short of the amount
to be collected altogether, but a large por-
ton of that viii undoubtedly come in on
the last day.
The number of polls paid up to last
night was about $780, and it is expected
the number will reach $500 on Monday.
The payment has, on the whole, been
somewhat better than was looked for, con-
sidering this is not an election year. The
office Of Capt. MCGOWAN will close at
o'clock p. IN. tomorrow, and all taxes of
the nature mentioned not paid at that
time will be collected by execution, tOge tn
er with costs and interest at Z per cent.

ENRICH THE SOIL.
Give 1t that Which 1t Is Deficient II You
Would Secure Good Crops.

Give 1t that Which 1t Is Deficient II You
Would Secure Good Crops.
The production Of paying crops on
worn upland clay soils depends to
great extent upon restoring to it, in
the economical way, the plant food
needed by the crop to be grown. If
you desire TO grow wheat the necessary
amount Of phosphates must be sup
piled. Wheat, rye, oats and barley
each require large per cent. OF am
monia, which accounts in part for the
excellent results that follow the use OF
ammoniated superphosphates. Differ
mt soils and different crops require
different treatment and different ele-
ments Of plant food. Aproper cultiva-
ton Of the soil adds greatly to its pro-
ducing capacity. The elements OF
plant growth contained in the soils
are made available to some extent
by working up the soil. If corn is
to be grown, manures containing
phosphoric acid and potash will
be required. We may use fer
tilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash with judicous rota-
ton OF crops. We can raise good crops
every year and bring the land to a
higher state Of productiveness each
year. On some soils we might omit
the potash, enough being yielded an
aually by decomposing articles Of soil,
other soils perhaps nitrogen would not
be called for at first, and Others still
rarer, phosphoric acid alone might be
sufficient. The subject Of fertilizers is
Of much importance in practical farm
ing, for it is at the basis Of every effort
of improvement. 1t is much better
understood than formerly. Still, there
are, however, some points too often
overlooked. The most important one
OF these is that bulk counts for little
in fertilization compared with quality.
The concentrated fertilizer, such as
superphosphate, nitrntes of potash or
soda, has done great deal in influence
ing the farmers in this respect Cereal
crops are greatly benefited by nitrogen
and heterogeneous manures.
Soil exhaustion may be prevented by
'he simplest Of all rotations, that Of

BRAIN EVOLUTION.
Interesting Experiments Conducted
by Prof. Marsh, of Yale.

Interesting Experiments COnuucteu
by Prof. Marsh, of Yale.
Prof. o. C. Marsh, of Yale university,
has for many years been studying
brain evolution, and has learned that
animals of the present day have larger
brains than their predecessors, that the
size of brains of animals in the same
groups increased progressively from
the eocene through the miocene and
pliocene periods. When species of
mammal died out it was found that it
had a relatively small brain. He also
found that the same theory held good
in regard to birds. Finally he applied
it to man, who has conquered all else
on the earth. The development of the
brain has gone on with the centuries,
and one race after another has domi-
nated-always by its larger brain. In
modern man, the cerebrum overshad-
ows all other parts of the brain COM
bined. Down to the present time the
largest brain race has outmatched the
smaller, although the latter usually
has greater brute force. Prof. Marsh
has weighed the brains of modern peo-
Piles, and discovered that the average
brain of the japanese is greater thar
that of any other people. Fifteen years
ago he was satisfied that they were to
figure as great power among nations.
perhaps an overwhelming force. His
conclusions stand almost in the light of
prophecy. They have the brain. 1t is
matter Of speculation how it will be
used

VENOM OF SERPENTS.
A New AntidOte Discovered by Prof.
Fraser, of Edinburgh.

Fraser, of Edinburgh.
Prof. T. r. Fraser, Of the University
of Edinburgh, has discovered new an
tidote for overcoming the venom of
serpents. 1t is not like M. Calmette's
antitoxic serum, obtained from animals
rendered immune by incubation, but
is furnished by the serpent himself, is
his own bile. In the experiments
various quantities of bile from the gall
bladder of the cobra, rattlesnake and
grass snake was mixed with little
more than the minimum fatal dose of
the venom, and this mixture injected
under the skin of the animal. 1t was
shown that quantity of the bile small
err than the quantity of venom max be
sufficient to prevent lethal doses of the
latter from producing death. The bile
OF harmless scrpents was found to be
less effective. The same secretion from
an OK was less powerful, being about
one-seventh as strong in anttoxic in
fluence as the venom of cobra or asp.
II sufficient amount were used it
would overcome fatal dose of the poi
son. DR.. Fraser believes the antidote
can be prepared for the market in u
compact form. African snake doctors
have a remedy, of which principal in
gredient is snake bile, which they in
troducc into the patients stomach and
rub into the wound.-Chicago Inter

In buying fish be sure that the eyes
are clear and rather sunken, flesh firm,
gills red and moist, the skin tight and
the scales, il any, shiny. If you do this
your fish course at dinner cannot fail
TO be success unless your cook is at
fault.
Here is patent process for restoring
to cracked earthen ware its water-tight
properties. Make paste with finely
sifted wood ash and emery powder,
moistentag it with the white of egg;
rub this over the crack on the outside
and let 1t dry in the open air.
The method for making labels stick
on tin cans and covers is simple. First,
the part of the tin which is to be labeled
must be scrubbed with strong soda wa
ter. Then make paste with good
starch and water in which some car
penter's glue should be dissolved. La

an egg is required for use it is puzzle
how to preserve the yolk indefinitely.

should be set in cool place. The yolk

The ELECTRIC SPARK.
II II Not a Fluid, nut Purely n vor-
tex Movement.

ttA uON CmChts Y
Lord Armstrong, famous student OF
electricity, has succeeded in photo
graphing an electric spark. He Claims
that there is no such thing as an "eleo-
trio fuid;" that electricity is purely a
vortex movement, such as we see when
watching rings of smoke drift from
the mouth of the smoker. The electric
ity, like the smoke. moves over and
over the circumference of the ring,
that is, It is sucked in by one face OF
the ring and out by the other" This
simple discovery may revolutionize
many established theories Lord Arm
stIong's photographs are said to show
to the eye the exact difference between
the positive and negative poles. A
camera and powerful electric machine
were placed in room. On the sensitive
plate contained in the camera light
and fine powder had been siftcd, so
that when the electricity was dis
charged the dust upon the plate would
be driven about by electric streams,
and at the same time the light would af-
feet the plate. But small fraction of
second was required for the electric
ity to give the luminosity necessary to
enable it to be caught in the act OF
setting the dust in commotion. The
picture shows Il black spot in the CEN
ter, which is the metallic disk which
rested on the Photographic plate and
received the positive discharge from
the electric machine. The electricity
radiates from the center in streams
Which appear like feathery Illuminated
roots of plant This is different from
picture of electricity as it comes from
the human body. The photograph will
show that as II radiates it has sharper
and shorter appearance. A picture
taken of two opposite discharging disks,
brought near together, shows clearly
that the discharge has different char
acterstics at the different poles. Lord
Armstrong hopes to show plainly how
electricity is communicated from one
human body to another by contact

wheat, followed by clover, and then
corn. such a rotation may be begun
by sowing red clover in March upon
the fields seeded with wheat. Sow
one-half bushel Of red clover and about
one peck of timothy seed upon each
six acres. The clover should not be
pastured the first year except suiii-
cient time after harvest, for the hogs
to get the scattered grains OF wheat
About the middle of June the second
year the clover can be pastured, but
sufficient quantity of that in which the
most timothy grows should be reserved
to cut for hay. This system provides
for the accumulation of manure in
level, SO that the liquids will keep the
crop OF straw and refused stalks in II
moist condition, and decomposition is
thereby fastened after the harvesting
season is over. Fifteen loads of stable
or barnyard manure are applied to the
acre over the clover field, this to be
plowed to depth of about ten inches
early the following spring. Where you
can plant corn each load is divided into
eight piles, placed five and one-half
yards apart. Before seeding to wheat
the corn is cut and shocked, and q
heavy, sharp-toothed harrow precedes
the drill. The high-cut stalks. when
narrowed down, act as mulch for the
wheat plants during the winter, and
measurably prevents washing, even
upon high ridges. A great advantage
in this method of rotation is that the
labor required to bring up the land in
April is not near as great as in mid.
summer, and the corn, by being planted
fully week earlier than it can be on
similar soils where there is no sod,
yields abundantly and natures early,
so that there is no delay in seeding
with wheat early in the fall.
AS may be inferred from what has
already been said, the prime factors for
cheaply enriching the soil and increas.
ing its fertility annually are the liberal
applications of properly-cared-fo for barn
yard manure and systematic rotation
of crops, of which red clover is the
basis.-E. j. Reyburn, Eva, Tenn, in
Agricultural Epitomist.
