trees Of our modern forests. lnese
may be divided into two great ciasSe7
the narrow-leaved, cone-Dearlns
trees, or evergreens, and the broad
leaved trees, which usually shed lnelr
leaves in the autumn. All have a great
advantage over the earliest forms III
their strong trunks, capable Oh sup

leaves and enabling them to attain
heights of 100 to 300 feet above Ile
earth. The fight for place anu eAiS'-
ence is now chiefly between the ever
greens and the broad-leaved or declIu-
GUS trees, and in this struggle inc
brOad-leaved trees are so far superior
that the evergreens have already peen

There are a few crops that the Amer
lean farmer can use more proftably
than This. When it is sown early in
the fall and the weather is favorable
for the plant, it affords great amount
of pasture for calves, colts or pigs.
writes S. Blanchard in Journal of Ag-
riculture. In much of the weather
during the fall when pastures are short.
the COWS can be turned upon the land
to feed. and that will make the wife
smile with joy when she goes to town
with her well-filled jars or pals of but
ter. The farmer, too, will smile with
pleasure when he beholds his calves
colts and all other stock entering upon
the winter in such fine condition. Dur
ing much of the winter when thew are
turned out of their yards they will start
at once for the rye field. In fact. it
can be pastured nearly all winter
when the ground is not covered with
snow. 1t can also be pastured unite
late in the spring, and when the stock
is all removed will often spring m If
weather is favorable and afford IN the
farmer a fair crop of grain. Or the
field can be plowed up in the spring
and planted to corn or some other cron
The fall blowing will have made the
land more mellow for any spring crop.
All farmers who have fields that can he
utilized in this way should not fail to
SOW rye. Years ago many of the farm
ers in Kansas pastured their wheat
fields when not covered with SNOW
Some thought it was no detriment 70
their crops while many question tho
utility of the practice But rye is oDa
of our hardest grains. Drought does
not affect it as it does wheat or oats.

FL Paso, Tex, May 27.-This morn
ing the river showed n rise of six
inches over last night, and the water
was speeping down the river at ter
rife speed. Eerly in the morning
the head gate Of the canal, which is
above the level, began to !give way
and 5000 men with logs, sacks of
sand and lwillow bales were put to
work to prevent n break at the head
gate, while about 100 men we're
stretched along the impovished Ievee
at the other side of the city. where
the water continued to creep up.
At O'Clock this afternoon the
head gate gave way and with n rush
and n roar the river began pouring
into the canal. The fire alarm was
sounded to warn people in the lower
districts. land in an instant the city
was in such wild confusion that for
half an hot it was impossible to
make any organized effort 10 take
another stand against the water,
which was soon over the banks of
the canal inundating the terrific Y
through which it passed on both
sides.
The people living along the banks
of the canal are the poor lahoring
classes and thei= homes were soon
under water. Fathers and mothers
had to wade through the water from
thei= houses, taking their children
in thei- arms.
The houses, being in most instances
built, of adobe, melted away At the
touch of the risning water.
The break this afternoon resulted
in leaving at least 100 poor families
homeless. The water at 6:31 O'Clock

MILLS In THE SOUTH.

In announcing that eighty
seven new cotton mills were
founded during the first half of
this year, the American Wool
and Cotton Reporter says:
"Of the eighty >seven mills,
the Southern States may lay
claim to over SO per cent, as
ffty-one will be operated south
of the Mason and Dixon line, Of
the remainder, the Eastern
States include thirty, while the
remaining half dozen are seats
tered through various parts of
the " iddle West. Twenty-seven
mills are located in the Carolinas,
fifteen il. North and twelve in
South Carolina, ranging in size
from the large Louise mill at
Charlotte, the centre of South
err textile manufacturing TO
minor plants, representing but
a comparatively small invcst-
ment. From this it may be seen
that the experiment entered
upon during the last decade is
proving a success, and that the
North has now a rival in the
field worthy of serious attention.
While it is probable that in the
manufacture of fine goods the
North has as yet experienced Its
tie competition, still in the pros
ductjon of the coarser grades a
large share of patronage has
been transferred from the North
to the South"
This but further demonstrates
that the South is to.day making
more rapid Roadway in industrial
development than any other sec
ton of the country. What is true
as regards the cotton mill induss
try is equally true with reference
to iron and steel interests, rail-
road building and general cons
struction work. La cotton mill

Carolina is taking a very promi-
nent part. several immense mills
having been located in this State
