Cotton at the Experiment station,

Director Redding is now sending out, to
all who desire it, bulletin No 43, which is
devoted exclusively to cotton. The bulle-
tin consists of thirty-odd pages and gives
much interesting information regarding
fertlizing and cultivation of numerous va
rieties Of the staple in 1893. Any reader
of this paper can secure the bulletin bv
simply sending a postal card to r. J.
Redding, director, Experiment Ca, and
liking request for it. Complaint is made
that only small per cent. of our farm
ers avail themselves of the published
matter of the station. These bulletins are
of value and every farmer that can read
should have them and try to make the
best use possible of them.

of all the rotations The teachers of ag-
riculture used to say alternate root crops
with grain crops, and crops with broad
leaves with those having naE-ow leaves,
but there seems TO have been really little
reason for the advice. The main thing to
be sought in all our cropping is 10 keep
the land as fully occupied as il is possible
to do. If We can start a crop in our corn
or cotton in the fall that shall grow and
cover the land in winter, we will avoid
much Of the loss of fertility that comes
to so many farms where the two great
crops are the staples.

Stories of Curran.

Curran could say mordant and cut
ting things, but perhaps no man was
ever insulted with such dialectical neat
ness and righteousness as Curran was
by the famous maker of bulls Sir
Boyle Roche, in the Irish house of COM
mons. "The honorabl gentleman says
he is the guardian of his own honor, !"
said Roche in reply to speech of Cur
ran, "but on the other occasions I have
heard him boast that he was an enemy
Of sinecures .
Curran was defeated in a converse
tional contest with Lady Morgan, the
Irish novelist, one evening in that lady S
drawing room, when, exaggerating the
prevailing fashion in short sleeves, she
wore merely straps over her shoulders.
Curran was walking away from the lit
tie party who witnessed the conflict of
the two wits when Lady Morgan called
out, "Ah, come back, Mr. Curran, and
acknowledge that you are fairly beaten. !"
cat any rate, {" said be, turning round,

Primitive artillery.

AS to the character of the first instru-

just when it was invented we have no
certain knowledge, but it must have
been at an early date, for we read in
Genesis x, 8, that "Nimrod was a
mighty hunter before the Lord" and
surely the skill that has kept his name
in remembrance for thousands of years
must have been gained by the use Of
some surer weapon than the clubs or
stone knives of primitive man.
Without doubt man early learned
how much execution can be done by a
we'll aimed stone and attempts to hurl
it with greater force and accuracy
probably led to the invention of the
sling, one of the simplest as we'll as
most formidable of these early weapons
1t was long one of the principal instru-
ments of war among the ancients, and
the story of David and Goliath is good
illustration of what could be done by
one skilled in its use. This skill, how

The ScnIlop.

The scallop accomplishes locomotion
by series of leaps. When it is alarmed,
or wishes to change its location, it
opens and energetically closes its
valves, thus expelling the water. The
.eaetion shoots it backward. BY this
means the creature is able to travel long
distances Sometimes scallops make
considerable journeys in large COM
panies. One can scarcely imagine a
lovelier sight than that of flock of
these pretty creatures, with shell OF ev-
cry hue, from purple and white to black,
enlivened with shades of pink, yellow
and fawn, darting about in clear water
In their fiightlike movements, vertical,
horizontal and zigzag, they are more
suggestive Of a flock Of winged animals
than Of bivulve mollrshs.

Portrait and slipper.

A touching aneodote, associated with
a picture III the National gallery at Ed
inburgh, is told by an English lady in
her book, lNtpourri From Surrey
Garden. SIZE writes:
Several pictures stand out with peou1-
lar interest, especially the life sized
Gainsborough of the young Mrs. Ora
hame. She sat for the picture as a
bride, but before it came home she was
dead, and her husband had gone to the
wars.
When he came back, he never had the
courage to open the case which con-
tanned his young wifes portrait. On his
death, many long years after it was
painted, it was opened by his heirs,
and inside the case was the little white
slipper she had left with the painter to
help him to finish his picture.
The portrait was given to the Edin-
burgh gallery, and the slipper was kept
by the family.

A Myn4erv Explained.

On certain hot summer day cele-
brated naturalist entertained company
of distinguished savants at dinner, at
the conclusion Of which they all went
out in the garden.
In the center OF the grounds there
stood OH pedestal large glass globe.
One OF the guests happened to touch
this globe, and found, to his amaze
ment, that it was warmer On the shady
side than on the side turned to the sun.
He communicated his discovery to the
guests, wheat once proceeded to verify
the statement.
What could be the cause?
An animated discussion ensued, In
the course of which every imaginable
law of physics was made to account for
the strange paradox. At length our
scientists agreed that it must be SC
owing to the laws Of reflection, repul-
sion or exhalation or some other law Of
physics with a long name.
The host was, however, not quite
convinced, and, calling the gardener,
he said to him:
pray tell us why the globe is warm
er ON the shady side than on the side
turned to the sum-"
The man replied.
Because just now turned it round
for fear of it's cracking with the great
heat. London Tit-Bits

The Vanderbilt interests are not
satisfied with owning one seat in
the senate-that promised by Boss
Plat for Chauncey Depew, they
are out for another seat. The
body of Senator Morrill,, Of Ver-
mont, who died in Washington,
last week, and whose funeral was
held in the senate chamber, was
hardly cold before the wires were
being pulled to get DR.. Seward
Webb, who married one Of the
Vanderbilt girls, and who acquired
a residence IN Vermont several
years ago, fol the purpose of
awaiting Senator Morril's death,
appointed to succeed him. This
scheme will be watched with much
interest, particularly as it has been
a boast of Vermonter's that the
state has never had rich Senator.

THE WHEAT yM.ARKET.

The growing belief in higher
prices for wheat is based princi-
pally upon the continued large
foreign demand and the fact that
the United States is furnishing by
far the larger portion of the worlds
shipments. For instance, those
shipments last week amounted to
1905, 900 bushels, of which this
country furnished 5,5l5,23l--and
the worlds shipments have been
running practically that way for a
good many weeks; that is to say,
fully Is percent of the European
supplies have been drawn from
this country weekly. The bulls
predict that 1t will be the same for
the next three months, that the
United States has practically
monopoly of the European market
and will keep it for that length Of
time.
The Russian crop is estimated
at 4l0,000,000 bushels, which is
fair, but as yet Russia is shipping
comparatively little. Last week
for instance, her exports were
only $4,000 bushels-less than a
million, against FIVE millions and
and a half from the United States.
1t is believed that the wheat from
Russia's surplus districts is going
to relieve the famine in the dis
tricts of the Volga and elsewhere
throughout the vast empire.
While the outlook for higher
prices for the balance of the Amer
lean crop of this year is encourag-
ing, uninterrupted advances in the
market are not to be expected.
There will be occasional s.slumps,"
as there always are, and weak
spots on which the shrewd buyers
will secure necessary supplies, and

IT seems from the reports of
Gen. Otis that Aguinaldo will be
unable to hold his government to
gether long enough to be officially
asked to step down and out by Gen.
Otis. His cabinet has resigned
and he has not been able to form
another, but that is no reason
why a good enough government
for the Philippines would net be
formed from the educated and we'll
TODD natives, if this government
chose to lend hand in doing so.
Aguinaldo is an adventurer, who
was priests servant only few
years ago, and who has been
seeking only his own gain,
not the welfare of the islands.
He and several others of kind
sold out the Philippine insurgents
for a sum in Spanish gold and then
Aguinaldo stole the money from
his fellow traitors.
