THE "cHIPPEwAY BREAKFAST.

General Winfield Scott's Narrow Es-
cape from Being Captured.
An incident In the life Of Gen. Win
field Scott, told by himself very rarely,
we'll illustrates how tribes may change
the current of events. 1t was Urine
which saved his life at what is known
as the "Chippeway breakfast" On
July 4. 1914, Gen. Scott's brigade had
been skirmishing all day with Gen.
Riall's forces, and had driven the enc
my down toward The town OF Chip
pewa. The two armies were encamped
on both sides of the creek.
Just at dusk man came to zen.
Scott with message from a lady VINO
lived in large house on the opposite
side of the creek. She asked that q
sentinel might be placed at the bridge
to prevent struggling soldiers from 60
ing to her house. Her husband was
in Canada, she wrote, and she was
alone with her five children, save for
the presence of one friend, young
lady. Word was sent that her request
would be granted.
early the next morning the same
messenger again appeared says Gen.
Scott, "bearing the lady's thanks and
the request that l, with as many of my
staff as l chose to bring with me,
would breakfast with her that day.
"Actlng on the impulse of the mo-
ment, l called two Of my aids and re-

Insanity Among Negroes.

Twenty-Five years ago insanity was
rare among the colored people of the
South and suicide almost unknown.
Since then there has been distinct
change for the worse. DR.. Babcock,
superintendent of the South Carolina
asylum for the insane, reports an
alarming Increase of mental diseases
among the negroes and other physi-
clans bear him out in this statement.
DIR. Babcock says there are more In
sane blacks among the inmates of the
asylum than ever before and the num-
Der is increasing at greater ratio than
the population. The prevalence of
brain disease is attributed to the com
mon use of drugs and bad whisky. The
great majority of the patients come
from the towns and cities and most OF
them are victims Of cocaine. morphine
or alcohol.

Shade Enriches Soil.

The complete shading of the soil rap
idly enriches it, even without the appli-
cation of manure. 1t may be that shad-
ing causes a deposit of nitrogen from
the air; every farmer knows that wher-
ever a stack of hay or straw has stood
for several months the ground under
meath is not only enriched. but grows
much darker in color. Anyone may try
an experiment as follows: Select the
poorest spot Of ground on the farm. lay
over a strip Of any length. but about

Status of the Farming Industry.
There are 10,43S,922 persons engaged
In agricultural pursuits, while all 9th
er industries engage 1S,S45,O00 persons.
One-third of the entire area of this
country is devoted to tilling of the soil.
There are to-day 5,739.65I farms in the
United States, and the value of farm
property, including improvements, stock
and implements, is $2o.514, ,001 ,S3S. The
number of farms has quadrupled in the
past fifty years, while the value Of the
farming land to-day is five times as
great as the selling price of fifty years
ago. More than 100000 farms have
been laid out and fenced in by settlers,
principally in the West, in the past ten
years. Fifteen thousand, farms were
given away by the Government during
i 1901. When the Indian Territory tS
opened for settlement, about 1901,
100000 acres of fine farming land will
be offered for sale at low prices, and
/ farming will receive another valuable
acquisition to its ranks. There are $685.,
0O0, 900 acres Of unsettled land in the
United States ready for immediate oc-
cupancy.
The total acreage used for farming
purposes is 81 100000 acres-an area
which would contain England, Scot-
land, ireland, Wales, France, Germany.
Austria, Spain. Japan and the Trans
vaal, leaving sufficient room for several
smaller countries to go in around the
edges. None of these countries, or all
Of them combined. would make re-

Yields of Cheese From Milk,
With ordinary milk the yield is about
90 pounds of cured cheese for each
pound of butter fat in the milk. The
per cent of butter fat in dlHere1t
milks very nearly determines their rel
ative values for cheesemaking. Pro-
fessor Van Slyke found by a series Of
Lexpesimerts~ that-With. 5. milk rang
ling from 81 -per-~cent to A. per
cent the amount to each pound of but
ter fat was 272 pounds of green cheese,
or 25 pounds of cured. five weeks. 1t
was found that per cent milk made
but "a pounds of cured cheese for
each pound of butter fat. but the better
quality of the cheese from the richer
milk was thought to compensate for
the slight difference in quantity. 1t
will be seen that hundred pounds OF
4 per cent milk made ten pounds of
cheese and a hundred pounds of per
cent milk made twelve pounds of
cheese.

Crown Prince of Portugal.


The Crown Prince Of Portugal may
make no stir In the world beyond his
fathers little kingdom. but he is said
to be a dear boy for all that. He is
only II. and very good looking. but
better than looks is the young mans
disposition. During his visit to Lon
don, where he was sent to represent the
King of Portugal at the coronation, 1t
was sorely tried. Yet. despite every
thing adverse, to put t mildly. the
Prince was so cheerful and so devoted
to his English relatives that the Queen
entreated the King to give him the
Order of the Garter. With the excep-
ton of the 16-year-old King of Spain,
this royal decoration has not been be-
slowed on any save princes of the blood
and much older personages. The con-
trast between the behavior of this
crown prince and another. who shall
be nameless, as he is now a king. has
been frequently noted by the corona
tion visitors who happened to be also
present at the celebration of Queen
: Victoria's jubilee. A gracious. happy
manner, it appears, tells as much with
poor little royalty as it does in less
, exalted walks of life.

Flowing Under Green Crops.
While we advocate plowfng under
green crops, when they are not worth
more for stock food than for manure.
we believe that there are some SOILS
where this practice may do injury
rather than good. If the soil is light
and sandy, lacking nitrogen, or when
1t is stiff and needs TO be made more
porous, then almost any green crop Is
good manure for 1t. Where 1t Is low
and wet, and perhaps has too much
acid in it, a heavy crop Of clover or
other green manure will usually be an
injury to the succeeding crop. unless
| it is given also a dressing of lime In
some form, and we would prefer to
pay more for a good phosphate of lime
OF fine ground phosphate rock. with
| an addition or potash, than to use
| either slaked lime Or sulphate Of lime
| Yet in limestone soil We have seen
| green manuring work wonders, and sc
it will on land recently cleared. where
the bushes and brush had been burned
on the ground. Phosphates, potash ard
wood ashes may be put on to grow
the green crop, and If used libernlly
will benefit that and the succeeding
crops. Sowed on the surface and har
rowed in they do not waste or do any
harm if the amount is much more thar
one crop needs.-American Cultivator

Success with Poultry.

Those people who do not have good
success in Matching eggs under hens,
usually will not do much better with
the incubator. They may be divided
into two classes. one that is careless
and neglectful, and the other that
is altogether too fussy, who wants to
be stirring the hen. or feeding her or
handling the eggs three or four times
a day. For either of these to sue
ceed with the Incubator there must be
q thorough reformation; determfna-
tion to follow the instructions given
exactly, and do no more and no less
than is explicitly laid down. and to do
It by the clock. This can Ge done, of
course, but how many can or will settle
down to those rules!

ACCEPTS CHALLENGE IN PULPIT.

The Rev. A. Virden, an evangelist
who has been conducting revival ser
vices in the Methodist church at Zanes-
vile, Logan county, announced at the
close of his services last night that he
wa ready to meet in the prize ring
tn anonymous correspondent who sent
him a challenge for Il fistic encounter.
The statement of the minister ere
ated a surprise in the congregation,
but had not that startling effect that
might be occasioned in any other con-
gregation, for innovations have been
numerous during the pastorate of Mr..
Virien. He is n small. why. active
man of the very practical class. and
during the present revival service has
added 1i3 persons to the church roll
The prayers for special favors of Prov
idence caused much ill feeling in the
village among those whose names the
evangelist used without their request.
There is now much speculation in

New York is naturally overwhelm-

make the best standing during an cleo
ton when they are without patronage.
When properly purified of political cor
ruption, the democratic party always
returns to power in Manhattan,
as it did under Honest John
Kelly: and with new manage
ment. from a resident of New York,
not of England. there is little reason
to doubt that it will restore its pres
tige and recover its control over the
masses of the metropolis. Whereas
with Mr.. Croker at the head. the New
York democracy would have grown
weaker at every election, steadily los
ing it's better elements. Mr. Croker
has not retired n day too soon for the
democracy of New York city.-New
