 Methods of Culture.
 Preparation of the Soil.-Many different methods of preparing the soil for sorghum are practiced in the various parts of the country. Tn gen eral it may be said that the land should receive essentially the same treatment as If 1t were to be planted to corn or cotton. The time and depth of blowing will necessarily vary according to the season and the character of the soil and citrate. In any case the soil should be in fine tilth to a good depth, so as to afford a good seed bed.
 In the West and Southwest good re- suits are obtained by blowing shallow in the fall before planting. or in eaily spring. and then a second time to a greater depth after the weeds have started well and just before the time to plant. This gets rid of the early weeds and allows the sorghum to get well established before another lot can spring up. If the land is at all rough or cloddy, it should be gone over with harrow or pulveriZed and

reduced to a smooth. mellow condi- tiop In the South, the land is usu- ally bedded as for cotton.
 When sorghum is grown for forage and in ordinary farm rotations, there is seldom need of much of an applica- ton of fertilizers. Many soils have been known to produce successive crops for eight or ten years without any apparent decrease in fertility. Well-rotted barnyard manure Is per haps the best fertiIzer. should any be needed The commercial sorts con taining potash. phosphoric acid and nitrogen may also be used. though as rule but little of the last substance will be necessary. In the South 1t is common practice to use 150 to 200 pounds of cotton-seed meal on land to be sown to sorghum.
 Time and Methods of Planting The best time for planting this crop for forage varies from about the mid dle of April in the South to the mid dle of May or the first of June in the North. As a rule, 1t should be planted soon after the corn is in, The seed shou d not be put into the soil until

ghum will do we'll in the North wherever corn can be successfully grown. while it Is a standard crop in many places in the South where corn Is grown in limited quantities. Both the sacchaTine and nonsaccharine va rieties of sorghum endure drought better than corn. and hence are ex- tensively grown in many of the dryer regions of the country In parts of the South and West where severe droughts sometimes occur. sorghum Is regarded as a sure crop, though corn and other grain and forage crops may fail to reach maturity. It will remain fresh and green through a dry spell that would ruin corn. Even when drought has been so severe as to check its growth. it will recover immediately on the renewal of the supply of moisture.
 Ihe seeds germinate best when the soil is quite warm and should not be planted until after danger from damp. chilly weather is past. At first the young plants make large root growth as compared with the growth of the stem, and hence seem

 Sorghum Is generally regarded as harder on land than corn, and this Is undoubtedly true to great extent since it is a deeper feeder and two or more crops are often harvested Tn a single season. Stlll there are many instances of sorghum being grown on the same field for many years with out any apparent lessening of the quantity or quality of the crop from the impoverIshing of the land. and there are many soils that are un- doubtedly benefited by the deep growing roots of the plant, Sorghum, like corn and other related plants, draws a large proportion of It's food clements from the atmosphere, The principal materials taken from the

GEORGE R. DAVIS CONVICTED.
A Jury Finds Him Guilty of EN-
heYzIiuE 81, 900.

George r. Davis, formerly employed as
a railway messenger by the Southern EX-
press Company. was convicted yesterday
in Criminal Court No. / of embezZling
81, 600 belonging to the express company.
The jury which returned the verdict
against Davis recommended him to the
mercy of the court. Davis trial began
Monday last.
When the verdict was announced Col.
Fred Beall, counsel for the defendant,
stated to the court that he would possibly
file a motion for a new trial on Monday.
The case was submitted to the jury at
Il o'clock a. m, and at 12:10 o'clock p. m.
the jurors returned to the courtroom and
announced the result of their delibera-
tions Because of the absence of Colonel
BeaI from the courtroom, there was
wait OF about ten minutes during which
a solemn silence prevailed
During this time Davis sat scanning the
faces Of the jurors. He did not show the
slightest sign Of nervousness or fear, and
he received the announcement of the re-
suit without a remor.
Justice Barnard who presided during
the trial, when the jury delivered its YER
dict ordered Davis to be remanded to
Jail to await sentence The prisoner
was taken in charge by Deputy Marshal
Cook.
Davis was formerly employed by the
Southern Express Company as a railway
messenger. His run was between At
lanta, Ga, and Washington. On July 3,
1893, a package containing 81. 900 was miss
ed, and suspicion pointed to Davis as the
person responsible for it's disappearance.
Investigation developed that some one
had a seal similar to those used by the
express company in sealing money pack
ages shipped through its agency
Arthur Baumgarten. of this city, iden-
tilted Davis as the man for whom he
had made such a seal. When confronted
with this testimony Davis was at the
local office Of the company, and upon
Raumgarten identifying him as the man
for whom he made seal similar to those
used by the express company, Davis drew
a pistol from his pocket and fired at his
acCuser. For this Davis was indicted by
the grand jury and placed on trial for
assault with intent to Kill. He was con
Victed and sentenced to two and one half
years Imprisonment in the peniteutiary
He was afterwards pardoned by the Pre-
| sident, and soon after his prosecution for
| embezZlement was commenced. Ashley
NJ. Gould, the Assistant District Attorney,
represented the Government during the
trial.

Mrs. Chamberlain.

Here is the latest and most admir-
able photograph of the American wife
of Joseph Chamberlain, the English
Colonial Secretary. Mrs. Chamber
lain was Miss Mary Endicott, only
daughter of w. G. Endicott, of Salem,
Mass, President Cleveland's first Sec
retary of War. Mr. Chamberlain met
Miss Endicott in Washington, in 1887,
when he was one of the British dele
gates on the Fisheries Commission.
Their marriage year later created an
extraordinary interest in America and
in England. At the wedding Mr.. Cham
berlain discarded his favorite orchid
in honor of boutonniere of white
yiOlets, the brides favOrite flower.
Although Mrs. Chamberlain has new
er cared to Join the ranks Of political
hostesses, she plays great role in
her husbands life and career. Queen
Victoria paid marked attention to the
American-born woman, who has proved
an admirable helpmate to the Colonial
Secretary.
