Nashville, Tenn, May 14.-Prof.
Barnard attempted another voyage
with his airship to-day, 1t scared
.afoat rapidly, and as Prof
Barnard vigorously worked the
bicycle pedals of his steering and
propelling attachment the airship
turned around several times. but
was d fitting with the wind. 1t
passed over the Centennial
grounds, foated rapidly over the
city at a high altitude in a
northeasterly direction and passed
out of sight. At about .S:A5 o'clock
p. m. the machine landed near
Madison about twelve miles east of
this city. "I now find that [ can
manipulate the machine right or
left, even in a light. wind" said
Prof. Barnard. "This is certain: !:
it can go directly against a wind
of eight miles an hour With
muscular power as at present
arranged, but by cutting across
obliquely, I can make progress in
the direction desired"
Further trips with changes of
apparatus, will be made.

that she should be free and inde-
pandent without the payment to
Spain of an indemnity.

Try q Few sunfiowers.

In planning to diversity crops this

sunAowers. The value of the seed
for poultry and farm stock has long
been recognized, and of late years
dairymen have sliced The entire
plant and claim that it gives as
good results. as com treated il
the same manner. The culture of
this crop is very simple. Prepare
the ground as for corn and plant
in drills, dropping a seed about
every four or five inches, in May.
While any corn land will answer,
the plants are gross feeders and
the richer the soil, the more
satisfactory the crop. Cultivate
as corn, keeping the grovnd rs free
from weeds as possible. In the
fall the time and method of
harvesting will depend upon
whether the crop is wanted for
the seed alone or for the seed and
the fodder.

WEALTHIN CORNsTALKs.


1t appears from publications
that the cornstalk is about to be
rescued from comparative inutil-
ity and converted into a valuable
contributor to the general welfare.
In New England and some other
sections of the north, where small
corn is raised, the stalks have
always been used for fodder. But
in most of the Western and all OF
the Southern states only the leaves
are thus used, the stalks being
regarded as somewhat worse than
useless, for they cumber the
ground, Compared with the little
yellow corn of the north, the great
pant that bears that name in the
west and south is like an oak tree
beside a currant bush. But an
enterprising resident of St. Louis
a Mr.. Prater. has discovered by
experiments of various kinds that
there is great wealth in the
despised and rejected stalks, even
when denuded of their leaves OF
blades. This enterprisipg man
has established at Owensboro, KY.
a plant for the utilization of thlf
waste material. He asserts tina,
the stripped stalk "can by. proper
manipulations be made to yield
variety of valuable products fol
which q market has already beer
established" Among the expected
cornstalk products he mentions
celluloid, smokeless gunpowder
lacquer, cattle feed, roofing
material that will answer every
purpose of pspiermache. Greer
stalks, he says, are rich in glucose
and will yield "a better quality
and q fine sugar with less expense
than can be made from the cane
of Louisiana"
Mr.. Prater cheerfully predicts
the early arrival of the time when
the stalks on every acre that has
yielded good crop of corn will be
worth to the farmer SIS or more
That means hundreds of millions
of dollars. Mr.. Prater says of hl'
enterprise at Greensboro that it WILL
be so successful that mills for the
manufacture of cornstalk products
will be established all over the
Sonth, and that there will be ready
sale for all cornstalks that can be
found near railroad lines.-Peo'

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver. bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scaiding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine Or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraOrdi-
nary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful, cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have sample bottle and
pamphlet both sent free by mail. Mem
tion the ADvEsTIsER and send your
