Tests Of methods of preparing and
feeding corn fodder, conducted under
the auspices Of the Maryland station,
gave results which warrant the follow
ing conclusions:
By wetting and mixing the shredded
corn fodder with the grain ration there
is moro complete consumption Of the
fodder-there being but half as much
waste matter-than when the fodder
and grain are fed dry and separate. The
method Of mixing produced more milk
and kept the animals in better flesh.
The wetting of the fodder when fed
alone, and MISC when fed with grain,
made it more digestible. The method of
feeding the ration as a mixed feed
gave larger percentage Of digestible
matter than any of the methods tested.
From these facts it is safe to say that
Che method Of making mixed feed of
o ration is the best method to adopt in
order to have the most complete con-
sumption and the best returns for the

ness of the surface, attention ought to
be given to the general appearance of
the grade. In the illustration here re-
produced from American Gardening are
shown four views Of the same section of
lawn and illustrating the effect of
various lawn contours. The upper grade
strikes the eye as being uncomely, be-
cause of the i'll shaped finish bestowed
on 1t in construction. 1t is, moreover, SO
uneven that it cannot we'll be kept in
good order.
The second section shows the same
lawn nicely graded, as with level. 1t
affords no variety in its contour, rs
natural landscapes do, with rare excep-
tions. The third grade is slightly dish
ing, which Of all forms for small grass
areas is the worst. 1t is comparatively
characterless, having indeed depress-
ing effect on the beholder. In pleasing
contrast with this is the style at the bot
tom, which shows swelling contour
through its center, which at once salts
fies the eye of good taste. 1t is style
that may we'll serve as pattern for the
average small "dooryard" lawn.
The illustrations refer to land that is
level or nearly SO, hence might not ap-
ply to grounds that possess natural I'M
dulations In the latter case it is advised
that slight unevennesses be reduced, in
order to facilitate the use of tho mower
especially near the house, but in the
main there might be no objection to
retaining some natural variations Of the
surface.
A rule that must be adopted in lawn
grading is to have good depth Of fer.
tile surface soil over all parts as finish
ed. This may vary from to inches
in thickness, according as the lawn is
with or without access to hydrant wa
ter. If all work up to this stage and
also the final blowing, smoothing, rak-
ing and rolling, could be done in the
fall and tho final touches be left until
spring, thus securing thorough settling
of the soil. the lawn will not lose its
shape. In the absence Of either over
winter settling or of a heavy interven-
ing rain, il the surface is everywhere

soil is so dry that It will not pack, this

LAKES FILLED WITH PEARLS.
Wealth of the KIeudike Outdone in
Western Arkansas.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 17.-Excitement
over the klonuike discoveries, which for
time ragged here, has been eclipsed here
abouts by late reports of the remark able
finds OF pearls In apparently inexhsustible
numbers in the lakes and bayous of Western
Arkansas. A couple OF the largest lakes,
where the most valuable finds have been
made, have already been leased by people
of means
the two lakes referred to are Miller and
Murphy not faI from Bald Knob, and
about ten miles from Searcy, Ark. A
few weeks ago young man named Fur
Tough came down from st. Louis to fish
in Murphy Lake. He handled pearls in
his time, and was at once struck by the
appearance of these stones. He sent
one OF them to an expert at st. Louis
and awaited the verdict. The positive
assurance came back that the stone was
a genuine pearl and of excellent quality.
When his money ran short, he sent 4
few of the smaller specimens to the Byrd
Jewelrv House, in Memphis. and received
the regular market price for such stones
and 50, by degrees, it became generally
known that the Arkansas lakes were
yielding fortunes in precious stones for
all who could go after them.
Hon. j. A. Williams, of Shelby county,
spent three days there and picked up forty
two pearls from the surface mud, ranging
in size from q pea to q large acorn, and
concluded a deal with the owners OF the
property by which ne secured an exclusive
lease on the two lakes for period of
five years. Before leaving he engaged q
force of deputy sheriffs to guard the cir

Circulation Statement
TUESDAY, AUGUST IL, 1897.

First blood" was reported this morning
from the strike in the Pittsburg district.
1t is pleasant to add that it was not shed
by the strikers, and that none Of tlioir
blood was drawn by anyone else. Two
deputy saerffs, failing TO find excuse for
shooting others fell to shooting ut one
another. As result, one Of them re-
ceived a bullet through his lungs and liver,
and was mCrtally wounded. Now ii should
be in order for the courts to issue an in
junction apiece for all the deputy sheriffs
ordering them TO abstain from congre-
eating un the highways; because there IS
this evidence that their ''assemblage" is
not ''peaceable" within the true intent
and meaning Of the Constitution. They
could not well he disamed, because the
Constitution declares that the right OF the
American people to bear arms never shall
be denied or abridged. OF course, that
means that the people may bear arms
openly. II does not authorize the carrying
OF concealed weapons. Manifestly the
courts will have to rush to the rescue OF
law and order; or else the deputy sheriffs
will kill each other off, and then who
viii there Re 10 hold up the army Of the
unemployed OF the highways and by
ways OF the keystone Commonwealth?
