"It Is quite possible that the Boer side

TERRORIZED BY SOLDIERS.
The Canteen Having Been Abolished
the Soldiers Went Outside TO
Spend Their Money.

Chicago, March 9.-IIighwood, the
village lying on the outskirts of Fort
Sheridan, is a military camp. Martial
law was proclaimed Friday night by
Col. Bowman, commanding at the
fort, who sent two companies of in
fantry to protect the residents of the
peaceful suburb from soldiers of the
fort. In addition to the infantry ESQ
special deputies were on duty. Col
Bowman's action was the result of a
reign of terror started early Friday
evening and kept up for several hours
by drunken soldiers, Stores and sa-
looms were sacked, citizens knocked
down and trampled upon, shots fired
and window glass shattered in many
parts of the village. SIX soldiers are
now in the hospital and numbers I'LL

nurse cuts and bruises.

| emphasize the fact that only those
sets coming from the top are the
ones to be desired; those from the
side or the bottom are quite differ
ent, and whilst by no means worth-
less, still, other things being equal,

to have a frst-class article, il would
undoubtedly be best to cut off the
tap root and peel off the lower rind
as well as that on the sides. 1t is true
this latter l have not tested, but in
asmuch as potatoes split lengthwise
do their part producing sets, the
mere peeling of the skin could not
possibly have any injurious effects. In
other words, therefore, if you select
turnip-shaped seed potatoes, cut OF
the tap root and peel off the sides
and bottoms, put them into the seed
bed as they grew and cover very
slightly with loose soil, you will easily
double your crop.-Cor. Farmers

Conserving Moisture,

There are some crops that do best
when planted on a deep, loose soil,
among which may be mentioned
sweet and Irish potatoes, stock beets,
ETC., but none of our southern staples
are subject to such a requirement.
The best preparation for small grain,
corn or cotton is deep and thorough
blowing and pulverizing, and then u
deep and thorough compacting of the
SOIL The old theory that the soil
should be as loose as possible to adj
init air to the roots OF plants is now
abandoned by our best farmers. Roots
need no more air than can penetrate
the firmest soil, otherwise they would
not be entirely subterranean. But
aerating the soil has an important eff
feet, causing it to dry out rapidly.
These facts indicate the frequent use
of the land roller TO compress the air
spaces in the soil and prevent this
drying out, and some implement that
thoroughly stirs the surface to a
depth that will sufficiently interrupt
capillary action and, as it were, inn
prison the moisture.-Farm and

Most any cultivator of sweet pota-

HERE AND THERE.

The Georgia Legislature enacted
law protecting moclling birds, then
refused to pass law curtailing the
abuse of child labor in the factories.
1t protects cur dogs and kills a provi-
sion for the spread of agricultural
knowledge through farmers insti-
tutes.
Every one is interested in having
good roads. They are a public bless
ing, free and open to all. Business of
all kinds is benefited by easy, safe
and rapid communication.
With all the abuse that can be
heaped upon fat hen because she
does not lay, she brings more in the
market than any other kind of pcul-
try, except turkey, and at times the
difference in favor of the turkey is
very little.
1t must be that the wonderful in
ventions for increasing the effective
ness of human labor are not better
for humanity than those of our grand
fathers, but they must be used. That
is the law, and he who does not obey
it must pay the penalty.
AS consumers are willing to pay
good prices for fat hens, it is best 20
sell them as soon as they cease lay
ing, if in a very fat condition, as the
time required to get such hens to the
proper coalition for laying again may
be weeks, or even months.
Farmers sometimes in planning
work for the season do not make suf-
ficient allowance for wet weather, and
other unavoidable causes of delay.
The safe plan is to hedge against
such contingencies by commencing
early and keeping stadily at it as long
as conditions permit.

THE RICE INDUSTRY.
Another and Notwithstanding
Source of Wealth to the
southern states.

The coast country of southeast
Texas and southwest Louisiana has
assumed new importance since the
recent development Of the rice in.
duStry. The many streams, with their
waters but few feet below the gem
eral level of the vast praires, afford
ed fine facilities for irrigation. the
great desderatum in profitable rice
farming. But as some of the i'm
mense centrifugal pumps in some OF
the largest streams exhaust the water
faster than the SIRENS supply it. il
became evident that the acreage
irrigablc from these sources
was necessarily limited. Then came
the discovery that s-inch bored wells,
$50 feet deep, would each supply 100
acres of rice with all the water re-
quired; also, the fact that gangs of
wells could be made and connected.
and all worked by one pump and en-
gine. This solved the irrigation oues-
ton for about 100000 acres of land.
and the result is that this section of
country is being bored full of holes,
with full assurance that either wa
ter or oil in paying quantities will be
secured. There is very little uncer-
tainty about the matter. If you bore
to water and don't like the taste of
it, go deeper and get gas; and if gas
is too light, go on downward and get
oil. You can bore your hole and take
your choice. The result is, that rice
growing on the gulf coast has had
more rapid development than any
agricultural speciality ever had in any
country or in any age. The simple
facts that SIS to S2j per acre, net
yield, is about the average, and that
100 acres can be prepared and grown
to maturity by one man with team
and tools, makes this more profitable
to the grower than any other staple
crop.-TeXas Farm and Ranch.

THE ISLE GETS SMALLER.
something Interesting About shrink
age of the Island of Great
Britain.

With regard to the east coast a
sorry story has to be told. The county
of Yorkshire, for instance, from Bird
lington to Spurn Head has been disap-
pearing, it is calculated, at an average
rate of six feet year. 1t is said that
careful observation of certain 12-
mile stretch shows that the cliffs 40
feet high have been eaten away by the
waves for 1872 feet in 40 years, says
Good Words. 1t is, however at Spurn
Head that the greatest ravages have
taken place.
In Edward is time the village of Ra-
venspur, seaport near Spurn Head,
sent more than one member to parlia
ment; in 1899 and 1471 Henry ". and
Edward w., respectively, landed there,
but very soon after the latter's visit
Crittenden press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1879-1907, 1901-03-14

the former are not expected to be made
in such large numbers as the latter.
1t is the development of the four, five
and six masted steel sailing vessel that
attracts the most attention. One Of
these recently made the voyage from
New York to Yokohama in from two to
three weeks less time than a steamer
with a speed of II knots an hour. An
other made the run from New York to
Brunswick, Ga, in only a day longer
than steamship schedule time. These
are significant facts, because they re-
fer to an industry only on the threshold
Of its development. The carrying ca
pacity of some of the largest of these
vessels is about $500 tons. 1000 more
than the ordinary tramp steamer of
the smaller class. Altogether the
promise of the Maine shipyards is one
of the remarkable phases of a revived
industry.

What may be called side light on

contracts for 1901 warrant an estimate

rapid evolution from wooden to steel
