{ BERMUDA GRASS.
Best Method of CuItivating and Har.
vesting the Same.


QUESTIONS We have $50 acres Of
good meadow land in Greene county. go
or rs acres of which are we'll sodded tn
Bermuda. The remainder is not vet
cleared, and is covered with some big
trees and heavy underground and lit.
tie cane. Bermuda being indigenous to
I the soil, we believe that we would only
have to clean up the land and cultivate
1t year or two before it would be as
good hay land as one would want. This
land Is all subject to overflow, and we
would be pleased to have your advice.
l. Will it be better to let the grass re-.
main. cultivate it, and improve it, or to
plant the land in corn?
2. 1t we let the grass remain, what is
the best method of cultivating Bermuda
grass on this kind of land?
B. II we have an overflow Just when
the grass is ready to cut, is it better to
cut 1t as soon as the water recedes and
the ground is bard enough and give the
new crop quick start, or try to make
hay of the grass that was overf1owed?
4. Is grass that has been overflowed
and cut as soon as the water is off good
for anything?
ANswERs.-1. Knowing the reputa.
ton of Greene county for grasses and
the large yield of Bermuda grass hay.
we do not hesitate to express the opin.
ion that if your land is we'll set with
Bermuda it is worth as much perhaps
as any other crop that can be grown on
it. We are borne out in this opinion by
the Rev. Q. W. Howard, recognized
authority on grasses. We would sug.
gest that you let the 60 or 70 acres al.
ready sodded remain in Bermuda. Clear
the remaining acres of meadow land. l;
might be we'll to put them in corn for
one or two wears. If, however, you are
able to remove the stumps at once, il
might be better to use the whole $50
acres of meadow land for Bermuda at
once.
2. The best way to cultivate Bermuda

Ship-Building in the United
States.

That the ship yards of the country
are in a generally prosperous condi-
tion Is indicated by the fact that, dur
ing the last six months of 1899, and
the first four months of 1900, there
was only one failure among firms op-
Grating plants of any magnitude. On
the other hand,a number of ship build
ing establishments which had been
closed for some time were re-opened
and there was scarcely one Of the more
prominent institutions which did not
inaugurate engagements or improve
ments, these extensions amounting in
some instances to a virtual doubling OF
the capacity of the yard. Most signi-
ficant of all is the fact that, in the in
terval mentioned, there was projected
ten new ship building corporations
which propose to erect plants entailing
outlays ranging all the way from $780,
900 to $6,000,000. Some of these new
projects are already well advanced, and
II all are carried out on the lines map
ped out the aggregate expenditure will
exceed 500 .000, 0OO.--Engineering Mag

Reminiscence Of Gladstone.

it to England, and as Mr.. Gladstone

my hat, and he bowed slightly and

legend had completely dominated the
town of Hawarden. Ii is impossible
fer an American who has never been
there to realize how he was adulated
by the entire community. The very
air was saturated with Gladstone; ev-
cry subject of conversation led in
evitably to his name and fame; every
resident had countless anecdotes to
tell-it was wonderful and rather
touching Talking with some Ameri-

gard to the G. o. MS celebrated tree

the tree chopping was more spectacu-
lar than serious, and that the old hero

blows. They gave an amusing descrip-
ton of the circle of reverent and awe

New York Chinese Want
America to Step In.

New York, July S.-The Chinese in
this city are gradually becoming
awakened over the trouble which bids
fair to tear their fatherland asunder.
From one end of Mott street to the
other crowds of Chinese in shining
jackets may be seen busily talking
about the war. Every Chinaman car
ries fan and emphasizes his remarks
by swapping in into the faces of his lis
teners.
Lem wah, of No. SO Mott street, in
fairly correct English outlined the
feelings in Chinatown.
"It has been only about three weeks
since we began to pay attention to the
trouble in China" said Lem. "Our
letters are 35 days old when we get
them, so they have little to say about
this trouble. Then besides, nearly
all the Chinese in New York are from
Canton, Hongkong and the southern
provinces. The trouble is away north
of our homes.
New York's Chinese would like to
see China divided. We don't want our
old rulers, and the men at the head Of
the Boxers are no better. We would
like to have the big countries cut
China up. The United States is over
there and will see that everything is
done fairly. l hope the United States
takes that part of China around Can
ton. 1t is very rich and would be a
good country for you to own.
1--WE shall be sorry for that part Of
China which Russia gets. The Rus
slams are no good. They don't treat
people well like the United States. We
should like nothing better than to have
China made American. That would
not interfere withour religion, for any
kind is good in this country. There
are no Boxers in the United States and
there will be none. We have been in
terested in other wars which Chinese
from the south were planning, and we
might have helped them, but this is
not being done by our people. Most of
these Boxers hate our people as badly
as they do the foreigners. They will
be sorry that they killed the Peking
diplomats, and they would not have
done it had they known how strong
the other countries are. They are fool
is!h and think China the whole thing.
We don't believe the Emperor is dead
that is just story"
In nearly all the. Chinese in the dis
trct the same hope that the Powers
would divide China was expressed No
one seemed to have the slightest love
of country feeling.

To Resume Survey of Ohio
Rive.

Mr.. R. r. Jones, Assistant Engin-
eer, working under Major William H.
Bixby, United States Engineer in
charge of the improvements of the
Ohio river, has been very busy lately
preparing for the resumption of the
detailed survey of the Ohio river from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati. The survey
has been completed from Pittsburg to
Marietta previous to last season, and
most of the distance from Marietta to
Cincinnati was covered last season, but
for want of funds, high water, and 9TH
er reasons, the survey is yet incom-
plete, and it is Mr.. Jones intention to
get to work at it and complete it as
soon as possible. He has been getting
his quarter boats painted and repaired
and it is thought he will be ready to
commence work within ten days.

Cut in Steel.

Pittsburg, July S.-The meeting of
the steel manufacturers in New York
last week to stiffer the market seems
to have had no effect. A manufactur-
er here says that he sold large order
OF steel billets at $22 and 1923 per ten
for immediate shipment, and that the
market would reach that figure gener-
ally. This is terrible cut, when it
is known that the last sale of steel
billets was for S25 per ton, and the
general price was s26. This was less
than four days ago. Every effort to
keep the sale at $22 quiet is being
made, but the manufacturer did not
deny the report when questioned about
it, He said the market would have to
reach its correct figure to bring orders.

Bryan and the Sovereign Peo-
ple.

Let any man watch the proceedings
and utterances Of the Democratic Nat
ional Convention, and he will learn
more than all the written platforms
ever told or can ever teach. In recent
years the people have distinctly and
Enthusiastically decided that American
industries shall be protected from the
injurious competition with the indust
ry of other countries, that the Ameri
can dollar shall be as good as the mon
ey of any other country, and that or
der shall not be supplanted by anarchy
in the United States. But the only mo-
tive of the Democratic Convention
which seems to be in no doubt what
ever is it's hostility to these decisions
And Mr.. Bryan's principal business
has been to declare, by night and by
day, that he is as determined as he
ever has been to overthrow "milltar
ISM which executes the peoples will
and the courts which hinder the oper-
alton of mobs, and to fight for free
coinage and against protection.
Mr.. Bryan imagines that in this po-
sitiop he captures the hearty support
~ ssss- those who are genuine Demo
Gratis of these later days. 1t is really
difficult to find evidence to the con-
trary. The men who have sincere
belief, resulting from experience OF
the last ten years, that every step to-
ward overthrow of protective duties is
a step toward National disaster are in
fact drawn with relistles fsorce toward
the Republican party. The men who
know that more agitation about free
silver coinage can mean nothing but
mischief for every honest industry find
it more difficult every day to give
self-respecting reason for begging
from Mr. Bryan some poor and pitiful
excuse for giving him their counte-
nance. The men who want mob law
and no ether in this country cannot
possibly be Republicans. In plain
truth, there is but one party that
stands for American sovereignty, and
a good many who do not suspect that
fact today will see it clearly before
November has arrived.-New York
Tribune.
