There are more murders right in
New York City every year than there
are in the same time in this crime belt
of mine, but when we have a murder
out in this country, or robbery, 1t is
kind Of picturesque, and the news
papers make a great noise about it.
Life is really safer in the crime belt
than it is in a great city, and no
settler need be alarmed about coming
to any part of the country. | have
ridden many thousand miles chasing
horse and cattle thieves, train robbers
and murderers, and it always seems
to me the route of the posse is in this
territory of which l speak. That is
what has called my attention to this
peculiar SJTlp tCIOS5 inc COutlhSh1
north and south where these fellows
Even if their crimes are committed
far away, in the end we generally find
them somewhere in the belt. / sup
pose the explanation of this is simple
enough, in that it is the widest and
least settled part of the country, and
that in time my crime belt will disap-
pear from the map. In the meantime,
however, it is the first place toward
which l direct my search wnen l am
called upon to find some fellow who
has killed "slow elk" as we call the
range cattle in such cases, who has
branded calf that did not belong to
him, who has found some one else's
horse at the end of his rope, who has
murdered a rancher for his money, or
who has stopped the overland express
and blown open the express safe"

LoNDoN'S ANCIENT RIGHT.
City VIII Claim tits Privileges at King
Edwards Cornation.

In accordance with the resolution
which was passed at the election of
the Lord Mayor claims will in due
course be made "for preserving the
ancient rights, privileges and immuni-
ties of the city of London" at the cor
nation of the King. At present, how
ever, the course Of procedure to be
adopted by the Rememberancer in
furtherance of the purpose of the res
olurion Is matter of doubt and vague
conjecture. Until it has been definite
ly decided whether the old-time forms
and ceremonies are to be revived or
abandoned it will not be possible to
draw up the claims OF the city of Lon
don. According to the authorities the
Lord Mayors of old enjoyed the right
of being cupbearer to the King at the
cornation banquets. His Lordship Of
ancient date, it appears, attended the
ceremony with the Aldermen and 12
citizens, and at the banquet which fol-
lowed the cornation the Chief Magis-
trate of the city offered the King a
cup of spiced wine. This cup was Of
gold, and with it's cover weighed pre-
cisely so ounces. The privilege Of
paying for the cup and, presumably,
the wine, belonged to the King, and
it subsequently became the property
Sf the Lord Mayor, as fee or reward
for his services. 1t is also record
cd that at the banquet the civic party
was seated "to the left of the cup
board" which, however, is not en-
tightening to the average man OF the
present day, seeing that all evidence
by which the precise locality might
have been fixed has long since disap-
paored

To Connect Two Seas.

The Russian Hydro-Technical Con-
gress has recently been seriously con-
sidering the project Of constructing a
canal between the Black and Caspian
seas. The industrial center of Rus
sia keeps steadily moving southwark,
owing to the development of the naph-
tina, iron and coal industries. At pres
ent the yield of naphtha in that part
Of the empire amounts to some 400,-
900, 900 poods (about 100000 tons) an
nually. and hat of coal to 600,000,000
pools (10,S00,000 tons.) The exist
ing railways are even now unable to
satisfactorily handle the large traffic,
and new means Of transportation are
urgently needed. The proposed canal
Is to have a depth of % feet and a
breadth of $50 feet. 1t is to COM
mence at Astrachan, and it's terminus
will be at the roads of Taganrog, on
the AZov sea. The estimate cost is
100000 roubles ($2O,0O0.O0O)

BATHROOMS FOR SCHOLARS.
A Regular Adjunct of All New Schools
in Boston.

Five new Boston schools have been
opened up this fall, each of which is
equipped with bath rooms. This in
novation was first tried in the Revere
school about two years ago, and proved
SO successful that it is announced all
future schools in Boston are to have
bath rooms as regular adjunct. When
a questionable-looking urchin comes
to the schools the eacher conducts him
to the bathroom and instructs him in
one of the first requisites of clean
liness and good citizenship. 1t is
said that the effect has been very bene-
fetal on the general behavior and
bearing of the pupils.

BuCLE STOPS A STAMPEDE.
Trained Horses in a wild Rush to Obey
the Notes.

the Notes.
A stampede of 500 cavalry horses
through the streets of San Antonio
the other day caused a panic, and
sent the blood of frontiersmen jump
ing through their veins as it has not
jumped since the days when Texas
was q republic. The mounts OF the
First Texas Cavalry broke away from
corral at Fort Sam Houston, on Gov
ernment Hill, about three miles from
the Alamo. Some of the horses had
been in service for years, but the ma
jority of them were "cow ponies" that
had never been drilled. Across the
prairie ground they dashed, follow
ing a dun mare with flowing name.
Two cavalrymen attempted to round
up the herd. On went the flying
steeds across the parade and into the
drill ground they galloped, when sud
denly there came from the direction
OF the officers house a bugle call.
Chargers which had often responded
to this call insensibly slackened their
speed. Again rang out call.
The dun mare and one-third of the
stampeded horses continued their
flight, while the other two-thirds
turned squarely at right angles. The
bugler repeated columns right" and
the two-thirds again turned at right
angles, and galloped back in the di-
rection from which they came. Once
more the bugle rang out. The plung-
ing mass took form and steadied its
gait. Again the bugle sounded. The
battalion broke the gallop, went into
a trot, and wheeled into the parade
ground. The bugler sounded Halt"
and that part of the stampede was
over.
But the dun pony and her follow
ers from the ranges continued their
mad flight through the streets of San
Antonio. Everything movable in the
way of the horses was overturned and
demolished. Pedestrians fed in every
direction, while many carriage horses
joined the horses of the plains. Over
the bridge flew the wild steeds. One
horse dashed it's head against a tele-
STdpH pOle, anu lle uul mare lOSJ d
follower. Another's forelegs went
through a basement hole in the side
walk, and the unfortunate horse was
quickly trampled to death. A saloon
was reached, and one of the COW
ponies was forced through it's doors
by the pushing horses as they con-
tinued. A railroad train came rush
ing along. With bound the dun
mare cleared the track in front of
the locomotive, but several of her
companions were hurled to death in
an endeavor to follow.
The horses divided only to come to-
gether again when the train dashed
by and resume their flight toward the
prairies. Out into the mesquite and
sage-brush the dun mare led them,
and soon nothing was seen but cloud
Of dust.
The trail of the stampede was as
plain as the path of a cyclone. No
lives were lost, but property damaged
was very heavy. Squads of cavalry
men started out and succeeded in rop-
ing all but 80 of the COW ponies.-

valuable for holding moisture and
checking the injurious action of dry
winds. The seed bed should be made
very fine and mellow before drilling,
and whenever possible the drill rows
should run east and west. Strict at
tention to such general principles as
the foregoing will result in an increase
in certain seasons of as much as five
or 10 bushels per acre-C. B. Smith, in

Preparing the Seed Red for wheat.


Experiments in deep and shallow
blowing for wheat at a large number
OF agricultural experiment stations,
show that the depth of plowing is not
OF SO much Importance with this crop
as a firm seed bed, the upper three or
four inches OF which is mellow and in
good tilth. AS with the other cereals,
subsoiling has not been found finan-
cially profitable.
Early plowing for fall wheat has
been found especially desirable at
large number of the experiment sta
tions. In many states it is COM
n,on custom among farmers TO sow
wheat after oats. Where this is done
the earlier the soil is plowed after the
oat crop is removed the better the re-
suits will be- This point has been well
brought out by experiments at num-
ber of different stations in all parts of
the country.
The value of early plowing for fall
wheat has lately been summarized by
the department OF agriculture as fol-
lows: Early plowing, followed at in
tervals ly narrowing, prevents the
growth of weeds, conserves the moist
ure of the soil, keeps the soil in good
tilth and results in the formation Of n
seed bed best suited for the prompt
termination and growth of the seed.
The cost of preparing the ground is
1essened, the yielu of grain is in
creased and the practice is financially
profitable.
Many farmers roll the seed bed. On
heavy lands this is of no advantage,
but on lighter soils it firms down the
seed bed. thus insuring a more even
termination Of the seed and moro
certain contact with the soil water
contained in the subsoil, and would
seem to be desirable, especially in dry
seasons. In Utah rolling and narrowing
after seeding increased the yield lit
tie over three bushels per acre. On
the value of rolling wheat lands in
the west the United States department
of agriculture has this to say: A roll
er should never be used on the western
plains. except in the case of late plow.

only before drilling. This is owing to
the fact that roughness Of surface is

Quality in poultry controls the price,
and prices are often reduced because
of the large supply of inferior stock
that reaches the market. Farmers who
seek to reduce the number OF in
dividuals in their fioclls by selling off
the surplus males and females make
mistake in not fattening them before
shipping. If fed on variety with
corn as the leading article OF food the
fowls intended for market will gain
considerably in 10 days. The extra
weight secured is an advantage, but
the largest gain will be the increased
price for quality. Those who suppose
that a coop of fowls are sold without
regard to the individuals will learn
their mistake by observing the COM
mission merchants and retailers, who
always assert the birds when it is pos
sible to do So If sold as a coop of
fowls the price of the whole will be
reduced il one or two poor birds are
in the lot.

Improved Methods of Corn Harvesting.
The past few years have seen wonder
full improvements in the methods of
harvesting corn. Several large agri-
cultural machine manufacturers have
been putting corn harvesters on the
market. The demand for the machines
when we'll understood was greater than
the capacity of The factories. In many
sections it is rarity to find q farmer
without corn harvester. The great
advantage in using these corn harvest
ers is the saving of labor. Any one
corn by hand is one of the most la
borious of farm operations. Then, too,
the corn harvester binds the stalks in
bundles and the fodder consequently
is much easier to handle. Better
shocks can be made and more desirable
fodder results.
AS complement to the corn binder,
the modern husker and shredder is
great success and has come to stay.
Different sizes are manufactured and
they work so perfectly that not only
is large amount husked each day, but
the husks are taken off completely.
The shredded fodder is in excellent
condition for feeding, and if properly
stacked or stored in the NOW is al
most as good as hay, provided the
corn has been cut early.-Elbert
Wheeler, in American Agriculturist.
