Man Value of Salt.

The action of common salt and its
manurial value is somewhat of an I'M
settled point, but so much is certain
that it cannot take the place of com
plete fertilizer, as it supplies no spe-
cial ingredient of plant food. Yet in
some cases an application Of salt has
produced favorable results, proba bly,
ewing to its promoting decomposition
OF the animal and vegetable matter con-
tanned in the soil. It also absorbs mois-
tu1e and may have useful physical
effect. It is used in quantities of from
300 to 500 pounds per acre.American

MOISTURE OF SOIL.
How to Preserve 1t by Means of Ju..
dicious HarrOwing.


dicious narrowing.
Narrowing to save moisture is thus
treated in bulletin No. 100 of the New
York experiment station. '.The shar-
row, besides pulyerizing and fining the
soil for the seed bed, is most efficient
in furnishing q soil mulch. The
spring-tooth harrow is in reality cul-
tivator and its action is similar to that
of the cultivator. When used as an in
strument to conserve moisture, the
teeth should penetrate to the depth of
about three inches, and to produce the
best effect the ridges left by it should
be leveled off by smoother which can
now be purchased as an attachment to
the harrow. The tillage of orchards
by the harrow is now practiced extern
sively, and nothing short of irrigation
will so nearly meet the demands of trees
for moisture, particularly upon the
heavier soils. A harrow having a plow-
like action of it's blades serves to pull
verize the surface soil, to spread the
loose mulch evenly, and it leaves a most
excellent seed bed. The cutaway or
disc harrow may be beneficial or of
absolute injury. If the discs are so
set that they cover but portion of
the surface of the mulch they leave
a ridge exposed to the action of the
wind and sun and the rate of evapora-
ton is greatly increased. The disc
should be set at such an angle that the
whole surface shall be stirred or COW
cred. Their chief value lies in their
cutting and Pulverizing action on clay
soils, but as conservers of moisture
they are inferior to the harrow with
plow-ike action or the spring tooth.
Soils which need the disc narrower
should generally be gone over again
with some shallower tool. The mel
lower the soil the lighter should be the
work done by the harrow. On most
heavy orchard soils it will be found
necessary to use the heavy tools like
the spring-tooth and disc harrows in
the spring. but if the land is properly
handled it should be in such condition
as to allow the use of spike-tooth or
smoothing barrow during summer.
This light summer narrowing should
be sufficient to keep down the weeds
and it preserves the soil mulch in most
excellent condition.. With such a tool
and on land in good filth man can
harrow ten or more acres day."

Hogs Thrive on Sorghum.

A correspondent of the Texas Farm
and Ranch says: have found sorghum
the best paying feed for hogs. Plant
and cultivate as you would to grind to
make sirup; common land, tive-foot
rows, IL inches in drill. Plant three
ton planting time; twice more three
weeks apart. Commence feeding wher
the seeds are in dough. I estimate
sorghum as being worth as much per
acre for hog feed as three times tns
same land in corn. -

MAINTAIN A STANDARD.

How to Nuke Poultry Raising Profit
able and Satisfactory.
In the poultry business, as in any
other branch of farm economy, the
standard quality must be maintained
by proper selection, crossing, mating
of the best specimens, etc. If any
ideal type of hen is found or male
bird it is always desirable to make
them as near as possible the. founda-
ton of the flock, which not only raises
the standard, but brings the flock up
to that very desirable quality of uni
formity of standard which makes IA
nous the focks and herds of the various
Eoted breeders of domestic animals.
Such fowls in the hands of the poultry
raiser should be kept as long as they
ore productive. The average farmer
may say that the few chickens be keeps
will make but little difference in the end,
let the care be what it may. This is not a
good business course to pursue, for the
reason that the flock may be ever so
small, there is a possible loss or profit
to the proprietor, and whichever it may
be it will be set down as guide in de-
Gliding what the results will be in other
branches of husbandry on the same
farm under the same management.
Thoroughness on the farm may be seen
in every detail if that is characteristic
of the proprietor, and that is what
pays in these competitive times. The
farmer slack in one part or direction is
shiftless in all.-Farmers' Voice.

no injury from getting on and off will
occur and the fowls will not crowd one

The following arrangement is con-
venient one: Make a tight platform a
foot and half from the floor, to catch
the droppings. Around the edge nail
a strip one by three to keep the drop
pings from scattering and which will
give step for the fowls in going on

way is conducive to cleanliness, as the
fowls will not step in the manure and
track it over the floor. Place the roosts
a foot above the platform and rest them

In the case of the petition for commu-

yes, which has been pending before Gov
ernor Otero for couple of months, some
singular stories came from Las Vegas,
where the man is now confined. Among
certain set of men there it seems that
when confessions, atfidayits and state
meuts, duplicating certain men in crime
are made, they are to be believed and are
to be taken as genuine and as giving
facts. On the other hand, when other
confessions, affidavits and statements are
made that are not suited to the purpose
of certain clique up that way, why then
they are untrue, false and most damnable
forgeries. Why the confessions of one
man charged with the crime of murder
and believed to be guilty, should have
more weight than the confessions and
testimony of another man charged with
the same crime, is not easily understood
by the average fairminded citizen. But
then there may be hidden reasons, of
which the average, decent and respectable
citizen ls not supposed to know much.

LOCAL INTEREST AFTER ALL,

Senator Donelson Gallery of Louisiana,
is the leader of the opposition to the an
nexation of Hawaii, and q few days ago
published letter in New York stating
his reasons for the position he occupies
on the question. The sum and substance
of the published letter was:
'The fortunes of a handful of sugar
planters do not justify Us in undertaking
the dangerous experiment of mid ocean
government over population alien, un-
assimilable and unChristian."
This very full statement of the position
held by SO prominent an anti-annexation-
ist is valuable as furnishing the text for
most of the arguments which will be
heard in the senate chamber when con
gress convenes and the subject comes up
for discussion. Mr.. Caffery does not
present anything Lew, and what he has
said is after all not very depressing TO
the annexationists. He aoplo-ae the idea
of this government pushing our coast
line 1000 miles ont into the Pacific" ig-
norine the fact that, according to official
maps, Hawaii is we'll within line drawn
south from the most northwesterly pos
sessions of the United States; that argu-
ment falls to the ground of its own weight,
or perhaps it would be better to say that
it takes wings into space because 1T has
no weight. He despises the idea of an
na1lpg population largely native and
Japanese, unfit for statehood in his judg-
ment. He does not believe the country
can be constitutionally acquired except as
preliminary to statehood, and therefore
should not be touched at any price.
He thinks that by simply serving notice
that this government will not tolerate
foreign interference would serve every
purpose of guarantee of independence.
When the question shall come up in the
senate Mr.. Caffery may have some diff
Guilty in impressing this view. The kind
of independence" which certain ma
jority Of Japanese residents would give
to the country, when they grew strong
enough to control it, might not suit
everybody.
Mr.. Caffery further thinks that the for
tunes of the sugar planters in the Hawaii
an islands are not sufficient to warrant
their annexation. It is evident that he
feels that the assumed interests of some
other sugar planters-those in Louisiana
by the same token-are ample reasons for
defeating the treaty.
| An equally patriotic attitude has been
occupied by the transcontinental railway
influence in opposition to the Nicaragua
canal. 1t is not the first time that, in the
eyes of the local statesman, some limited
interest of his own district has appeared
of greater importance than measure Of
enormous national value and necessity.

ney for the Louisville, New Albany d.

to be clerk of the Second judicial district

may be SO. In the meantime it is proper
to remark that if the people OF New

unite and work for statehood for this
commonwealth.
