II Was Exchanged For Farm of Gao
Acres In Texas.
A section Of land which constitutes one
OF the finest farms la the fertile BRACES
bottom OF Texas once sold for a drink Of
water
1t was about 80 years ago, according to
ex-Lieutenant Governor George Il, Jest
err, that a crowd of frontiersmcn from of
the Brazos came to Corsicnna ON a trad
ing expedition. Corsicana at that time
was not as great a town as II is now, but
was typical frontier village or trading
post. The grandfather Of Governor Jest
er was Methodist circuit rider and lived
at that time in Corsicana. He occupied
two story double log house. His house
was a rendezvous for people from far
and near. who came trading. In those
days land certificates were used as circu-
iating medium, as money was rarely seen.
On one occasion a whisky drinking
character Q'om off the Brazos arrived in
town. got on drunk and at night was
put to bed in the second story of the
Jester mansion. About l O'Clock In the
morning he awoke with q terrible thirst.
No water was in the room. and he
couldn't find the way down stairs. Stick
ing his head out Of the window, he saw
some men asleep in the yard He called
to them to bring him a drink OF water,
but no one answered him. A second and
a third time he called, with no response.
Finally he yelled out;
Zone of you fellows bring me a drink
Of water and I'll give you 800 acres Of
land" This aroused one OF the sleepers,
who called back that he wouldn't climb
those steps for 500 acres of land, and the
offer was raised to $40 acres. The man
under the tree drew bucket of water
and lugged 1t up stairs and offered dip
perful to the topper. but he pushed 1t
aside. Give it to me out Of the bucket
ike horse" he said, and he put about
half the contents of the bucket under his
belt
In those days a Texans word was his
bond and this fellow kept his word about
the land. Next morning he made his ben
efactor deed to $40 acres of Brazos
bottom land. This land still belongs to
the descendants Of the water carrier and
is one of the finest farms to be found in
all Texas. 1t is now worth from $35 to
$40 per acre.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

EARLY ana late PIowing.

The Kansas station carried on two
experiments, one in the summer Of
1897 and the other in the summer OF
1898, to determine the relative effect of
early and late plowing on the moisture
content Of the soil. The experiment of
1898 indicates that the disk harrow
may be valuable means of conserv-
ing moisture, especially IL it is used
soon after the last rain preceding q
period of drought. A fair comparison
between disking and early blowing can
not be made from this experiment, be-
cause the good effects of the dlsking
were largely obliterated by a heavy
rain which fell July 8, before the ex.
pertinent with early blowing began.
The results of the two experiments of
1897 and 1898 certainly show that. as
far as the effect upon soil moisture is
concerned, early fall blowing is GER
tainly much better than late, and es-
peeially is this true when there is a
drought through the months of July
and August. In addition to this, the
much better condition of the soil OBJ
tanned by the early blowing should
have considerable weight toward in.
dueing farmers to push their fall plow-
ing as early In the season as possible.
The experiment of 1898 also strikingly
illustrates the fact that all effective
methods Of culture topreserve moisture
must break the connection for capIl-
larry attraction between the surface
and the subsoil, and the culture must
be repeated after every heavy rain to
continue the effectiveness of the treat
ment.

LATE FORAGE CROPS.


Nay Be Light, but Useful = Dwarf
Rape as Pasture-ftye and Barley.
Drought has worked so much injury
to the pastures and hay crop that
american CuItivator feels II desirable
to again refer to the Importance Of
growing forage crops to feed green
and to cure for hay.
1t is not too late to SOW fodder
erops. We have had fair crop Of corn
fodder from corn sown I'm July. and
| some good crops Of Hungarian grass
and millet sown even as late as Au-
| fust. though we should prefer sowing
these crops In May or early in June.
The late sown crop may not be quite
as heavy as an earlier sown crop would
have been. and II cured for winter use
II may not have as good weather for
curing It properly, but half crop may
| prove better than no crop. and 1t ID
now too late to talk about sowing
early
! Rye and barley sown together as late
as September win furnish fall feed
that win save an early attack upon the
haymow or the silage pit, as they
stand quite severe frosts without in
jury and make fair hay, though not
the best. requiring more grain with
them to make well balanced ration
than does good English hay
For young stock. sheep and stock
hogs. we would certainly try the dwarf
Essex or dwarf Victoria rape as a pas
ture. 1t may be sown at any time up
to the middle of August and is best
grown In drills 21a to feet apart, using
2l5 to 8 pounds OF seed to the acre. Or
another way is to SOW three pounds
per acre broadcast between the rows
of corn at the last time of cultiyating.
| 1t will be ready to turn stock into in
| from six to eight weeks from sowing.
and II among the corn the animals VIII
not touch the corn while they can find
rape.
| IL the animals are allowed to get a
| fair feed in a pasture in the morning
and not turned on the rape until the
dew is off. and only for an hour or so
at first, gradually extending the time
after a week they may be allowed to
| go to 1t as they will without danger of
bloat. They should have opportunity
to run out into another pasture when
they wish to. which they will as soon
as they have eaten enough. Lambs and
fattening hogs do better If they have
some wheat bran every day when on
the rape. but this Is not necessary for
sheep or growing calves.
1t Is reported that last year more
than a million acres of rape were
grown In this country. and IL sale Of
seed is criterion for judgment there
may be 100000 acres this year. And
yet 1t was almost unknown here FIVE
years ago, excepting In some parts of
| Canada, where farmers had learned
the value placed upon It in England.
The general opinion seems to be that
where rape is grown and fed where IL
stands the droppings of animals, even
when a part of them are taken out to
the pasture field, win leave the land in
better condition than before. 1t fur
nishes feed until the ground freezes
