Governor Je1ks stands for both, and he can depend upon having the support of all good men in the State in any step he may see fit to take looking to the con summation of these two desirable re- forms The State wants no more dishon- est elections and no more lynching bees.

 Huntsville business men are somewhat aggrieved by the action of the Southern Railroad, in contracting to pl tee the Mem phis division shops at Sheffield after hay ing promised that Huntsvilles offer would be duly considered. It Is apparent that the railroad people used Huntsviue's s handsome offer to prize up the people of Sheffield and make them gi 70 a large bo- nus for the shops. This made the people of that town pay dearly for the shops which had already been promised thsm.
 With this matter out of the way the Huntsville men are now going to see what can be done toward getting better train service and depot facilities.

BRAVE GOVERNOR JELKs.
His Courage in Enforcing the
 Law.

Atlanta Journal.
 Alabama has within the last year fur nished some striking illustrations of the fact that a determined officer of the law can often defeat a whole mob. At least two sheriffs in that State have stood all most unaided before crowds of men who were attempting to take the law in their own hands and declared that they would kill the first one who might attack the jail which the sheriff was sworn to pro- tect.
 These conscientious and fearless officers like Sheriff Merrill of Carroll County Ga, have been honored at home and abroad and have caused great demand for more such officers. Alabama is fortunate in having a Governor who has shown that he will back up any sheriff when he re- sists a mob. He has encouraged every sheriff in the State to do his duty re- gardless of consequences and we may ex- pect less lynching in Alabama than has been heretofore.
 The officers of the law in that State know that Governor Jelks will. if neces- sary. order out the entire militia to pre- vent a mob from running over the law The Birmingham AgeHerald comments the courage of both Governor Jelks and

Market Value of Ensilace.

Professor Phelps makes quite an
elaborate computation as regards a
fair market value of ensilage, from
which he decides that it is worth
about one-third to one-fourth the price
per ton of a good stock hay free from
clover. He figures it in this way:
There is about 4S0 pounds Of water
free or dry matter in ton of ensilage
and 1740 pounds in ton Of hay, but
when the digestibility is calculated,
there is S36 pounds of food elements
digestible in the ton of silage, and
about 1000 pounds in the ton of hay,
being near enough to call it one third
of the food value. But we do not al
ways compute the value to the dairy
man by the nutritive value if the pro-
fessor does. The more succulent and
easily digested silage when given as 4
part of the food ration will produce
more milk .nan one-third of it's weight
in hay. That is those who have tried
it say that 80 pounds of ensilage a
day with 10 pounds of hay will give
better results than 20 pounds of hay.
AS those who have grown it for years
say the cost when in the silo is from
$3.50 per ton with best n. ..chinery UP
to $3.50 when much hand labor is used,
we think it is profitable for the farmer
to put up his ensilage.--The Cultivator.

III Balanced Fertilizers.

An Ill balanced or incomplete fertili-
zer is one which does not supply all
three elements of plant food-phos-
phoric acid, nitrogen and potash.
Sometimes material may furnish one
or even two of the essential ingre-
dients, but if all three are not present
the mixture may be regarded as in
complete, and what the plant fails to
find in the fertilizer it must look for
in the soil; with the result that If the
soil does not contain it the crop has
to suffer accordingly. On the other
hand, if the ingredient which is miss
ing in the fertilizer is present In the
soil it will gradually become exhausted
through continued cropping, and the
yield naturally falls off in proportion.
1t is an established fact in fertiliz-
ing that one element Of plant food can
not replace another. Each has its
special function to perform. To illus
trate: If there is enough phosphoric
acid and nitrogen in the soil to pro-
4duce 2OO-bushel crop Of Irish pota-
toes, and only enough potash to make
1O0-bushel crop, the yield would not
go above the latter figure. The ele-
fnent present in the smallest proper
ton is ghat regulates the extent of
the yield. In other words, we meet in
feeding plants, the old maxim, "a
chain is not stronger than its weakest
link"
From what has been said it can be
seen that at once that it Is both wise
and economical to feed crops like ami
mails. No one would think of giving
a horse or COW one sided food and
expect to get full days work from
it Every hard working animal must
have proper food and plenty of it.
AS said before, the three ingredients
to make up complete food for plants
are phosphoric acid, nitrogen and pot
ash. Manufacturers embody all three
in their mixtures, and the proportions
vary to suit the crops, some requiring
more Of one than another.
The principal point to bear in mind
is that one sided fertilization seldom, if
ever, pays in the long run. It is much
easier to keep up the fertility of soils
by using what is needed annually to
meet the demands of the growing crop
than to build up land which has be-
come run down or exhausted.-George
X. Wilson, in Fruit Growers Journal.

Bogus Heads of Incas.

If any stranger offers to sell you un-
canny-looking objects and tells you
that they are heads of Incas, who were
great warriors long ago, says the New
York Journal, beware of him and hand
not over your good dollars, for the
chances are a thousand to one that the
man is an impostor and that the So
called heads are really the product Of
some factory Genuine mummified
heads of Incas there are, but they are
rare and costly.
The warlike Incas, it appears, were
accustomed to suspend from their sad
dies the heads of their conquered en-
emies, but before doing so they sub
jecter them to a certain process with
the object Of rendering them as light
as possible.
First, the bones of the skull were re-
moved, after which the head was
soaked in certain hot liquid, the re-
suit being that finally there remained
nothing but very small yet wonder
fully lifelike countenance, of leathern
consistency and of merely nominal
weight. A few such heads may be
found in Ecuador.
How old these heads are no one
knows, but many centuries have GER
tainly passed away since their owners
fourished. The price of such curl
osity varies from $3.50 to $1,000.
The demand. however, has always
been greater than the supply, and this
fact recently emboldened some enter
prising but unscrupulous gentlemen
in Ecuador to open factory for the
purpose of supplying enthusiastic COL
lectors with all the mummified heads
that tt ey might need.
