FOR THE FARMER,
Value or Green Mauuring.

There is one point which farmers
have not yet thoroughly learned
concerning green manuring. Every
once in a while there is talk of a
very short crop, usually corn, fol-
lowing the turning under of clover
or rye, more particularly the latter;
and in nine cases out of ten the
trouble may be traced to the fact
that the crop was put in too soon
after the turning under of the green
manure. Then put it in another
way, the rye was not turned under
soon enough. The result was that
the vegetable matter not having
time to decay and become part OF
the soil prevented the roots of the
grain from penetrating to the sub
soil and getting the hold required
to perfect the top growth. One may
go even farther and say that a good
crop ought not to be expected in the
same season with the turning under
of the green manure. 1t is gen.
orally understood that plants can
use as food only such matter as is
soluble during the season the turn
ed under rye will be in condition to
materially assist in making a crop
of the same grain that failed from
the causes given, simply because
the green manure will have them
become part of the soil and ready
to assist in plant growth. Plow the
rye under early, as soon as the
ground can be worked, harrow and
roll and fair crop will result the
first season, with heavy one the
second. 1t is unfair to expect from
green manures the quick effect or
plant growth that is had from stable
and commercial fertilizers, but they
have their part in increasing sol
fertility, and should be general,
used.-Prnirie Farmer.

Growing Potatoes Under straw.

Plow the ground deep and pull
verize fine. When the weather be-
comes warm, mark out shallow rows
q feet wide, drop your potatoes and
cover lightly with dirt. Then cover
with old hay or clean threshed
straw 8 or 10 inches deep. If straw
has wheat left in it, the wheat will
come up and damage the potatoes.
In our country the yield in raising
potatoes under mulch is double that
under the best cultivation, and is
especially recommended for locali-
ties having drouthy seasons. ID. r.

If you cannot do any better
raise goats. Whence the prejudice
againt the animal which furnished
the wearing apparel of the early
man? Goat statistics tell me that
there are 100000 goats in the
whole world, and that the United
States pays $25,000,000 annually
for imported kid. Every barren
waste will make a superb goat
farm. Goats thrive on briars and
acorns. They eat the moss that
clings to the shingles on the roof
of an old house. Their hair makes
rope that is indestructible by
water. Their meat, properly han
died, is as good as mutton. Their
milk is better than the milk of
cows. 1t makes the finest of
cheeses. Their horns make fine
knife handles, and are generally
called "deer- horn" or "buckhorn,"
for trade purposes. A goat will
butt its way through vicissitudes,
while a sheep will pine and die.
Goats have no chronic diseases.
Sheep have many. You can get a
start at goat herding for few dol
lars.
You can buy one buck and
twenty-five ewes for $65. The ewes
breed twice year, bringing forth
the first time one kid and afterwards
from two to four. Averaging the in
crease at four, You will soon have
great herd. Some ewes give
gallon of milk day. have a
personal acquaintance with certain
Harlem goats who are the sole con-
ISOLATION and comfort of some of my
aged squatter friends. Their daily
food is tables and theater bills,
with paste for back ground. The
lazy negroes and tho poor white
trash of the south should be re-
quired by law to herd goats. 1t
is an occupation that would suit
their indolent dispositions as it
suited the trifiing shepards of old.
whose hardest toll was playing the
quilts and whooping. The feed of
one cow will keep dozen goats.
The goat is just as likely to
get heaven as the sheep; l believe
he is more so, because he is more

The wagon was heavily laden
with great bags of metal, too heavy
for single horse to draw, one would
have thought
1t turned into a side street, and
half way down the block again
turned into an alley at the rear of a
livery stable 1t required consider
able Juggling on the part of the
horse to pull the load up the incline
of the alley driveway but he did it,
and the driver looked pleased when
the back wheel had made the raise
and settled down to level ground.
At the barn door it was necessary
to turn the wagon around complete
ly and back in. Surely, one horse
could not do that. The turn was
made easily enough, but there re-
manned, says the american Farmer.
Back him up, JimW said the
man, pulling lightly at the reins.
The horse braced his fore feet and
showed.
The wagon didn't move.
The man got down from the seat
and went around to the back of the
truck and pulled. "Backl" he COM
manded. The horse put every
muscle to the strain. "BackW The
wagon moved, this time at least a
foot. Two more and the back
wheels would be over the threshold
of the barn door.
"BackW The command moved
the horse to exert his greatest effort.
There was a crunch of splintering
wood and the wagon rolled back.
Not blow had been struck on
the animal. Only gentle words had
been spoken, and the horse had
done the rest.
And when it was all over the man
did not go on unloading the wagon
without a further thought Of the
great, obedient animal standing
still between the shafts. He went
to him and took his nose in his
hands and patted him between the
eyes and said: Good, old jim! You
did do it, didn't you? knew you
would"
And the horse rubbed his nose
against the mans cheek.
1t is pleasant now and then to see
such Things.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
ParneIl Monument Fund Committee
Issues Statement.

New York, Nov. 12.-At meeting Of
the executive committee of the Parnell
monument fund, held last night after
the meeting of Tammany Hall, which
announced its intention of buying the
Parnell homestead, it was decided to is
sue public appeal for support. The ap-
peal is signed by William Temple EN-
NETT, chairman, and H. G. Bannon, gem
eral secretary of the Parnell monument
committee. 1t is as follows.
1.-THE Parnell monument committee of
New York appeals for support and aid
in carrying out the objects for which
they came into existence. Those objects
are: To assist in the erection of monu-
ment to the memory of the late Charles
Stewart Parnell in the capital of Ire
land; to assist in the erection of suit
able memorial to mark the spot where
his remains, and those Of his mother
rest, and which is to be reserved for the
Parnell family in close proximity to the
tomb of O'Gonnell in the Glasnevin
cemetery; to assist in saving the Par
nell family from eviction and in pre-
venting their ancestral home. Avondale,

a fight In short, he's less scientific
than Jeffries.
AN ordinary boxer, were he equally
as strong hitter as Sharkey, capable
of as many scientific tactics, would
have gone under to Jeffries ten rounds
before Sharkey did
"Sharkey is almost invunerable
about the head. But even Sharkey at
the 25th round came to the end of his
effort. In another round, or at most
two, he would have had to give way
from sheer exhaustion.
AS an exhibition of boxing, the fight
was very fine indeed. The way Jeffries
pounded with both right and left is
more remarkable to d boxer than to
men who have never been in the ring.
"Corbett can't possibly defeat the
man who sent Fitzsimmons to his cor
ner and gave Sharkey his quietus. Had
l the alternative of meeting Corbett or
Jeffries for championship honors, I'd
have no hesitation in fixing on Corbett,
"Corbett, I predict, cannot stand up
half as long as Sharkey did against JEFF
fries. I would be willing to back JEFF
fries against all corners for the next
five years.
"Fitzsimmons will always remain
middle-weight champion. At 1853 pounds
he cannot be beaten by any man
breathing, with the exception Of per-
haps, Daley, who is hard in training.
There is absolutely no Englishman
at present or on the horizon who will
give the American champions much
trouble for many years to come. At any
rate America will hold the boxing hon
ors of the world"
Scales said he did not think there
was any doubt about his beating Tom
Lees. He had every hope of bringing
off the championship of England
Il am coming to America before long;
and l am open to meet any one about
my own weight-174 pounds"

LIGHT FROM LABORI.
Is to Write Inside History
Of the Dreyfus
Case.

Paris, Nov. 12.-Maitre Labor, who
has returned to Paris from his villa,
| near Fontainebleau, is now engaged in
writing book. His friends are urging
him to so into politics, but he is deter

the true story of the Dreyfus case. 1t
will be a classic of the cause celebre of
the nineteenth century,
Speaking of his book, M, Labor said:
I'm spite of all that has been written,
there are many points of national and
some of international interest to be yet
brought out. ta''A'.
Il hope to benefit France,by the book.
1t will bring out the fact that few
scoundrels do not make nation, and a
dozen or so demoraliZed officers do not
represent the army. r'-
81 am in a position to deal with the
Dreyfus case, its causes and conse-
quences very thoroughly. When Ma
dame Dreyfus came to me to ask me to
take up case of her unfortunate husband
she could not get another lawyer of
standing to touch it.

hope to demonstrate that justice has
never been dead in France. Tt has
not even been sleeping. The country

the word of men who should have been
honorable but were not
II shall have something to say of
military justice. The subject is Of
prime importance to other nations as
well as France. Several minor issues
will be cleared up, for instancey the
legal reasons which induced me not to
address the court toward the close of
the trial at Rennes.
my book will show incidentally how
the human mind has to be dealt with
in order to get it TO begin to receive
accurately even faint impressions.
What do ron think, for instance, of
the mental status of people who still
believe 1 was not shot? Their mental
attitude is such that human testimony
makes no impression. They are even
capable of questioning the testimony
of their own senses. There is a rem.
edy for all This.
''In reply to your query as to whether
or not people are likely to attribute
mercenary motives to me for writing
this book, I should say honest people
won't. I accepted no fee from Mr..
lola: at first, I declined a fee in the
Dreyfus case; but certain circumstances
made it congruous should accept a
fee, then 1 took q small one"
