Too Much For the Files.

A young man in Philadelphia. who
las plenty Of time to devote to scien-
tific questions has discovered that
music has great terrors for flies. He
learned the fact from observing at 8
park concert that while the audience
was greatly annoyed by the insects the
musicians In the shell were free from
oil Inconvenience
His conclusion is that the sound
waves from the shell kept back the
flies and that although hundreds Of
them struggled to reach the shell they
might as well have attempted to fly In
the face OF a tornado. and thus. he de-

4 dispatch from Muncie, Ind, re,
ceived at Cincinnati states that Amos
Rusie, the once famous baseball pitch

thousands of dollars. is now working
as day laborer at $3.50 day on the

company there. His last chance was
given to him by President Brush in

failed dismally. says the New York

Novel Criticism OF = Book.

Here is an amusing bit Of criticism
which ! saw recently in an Italian
newspaper. writes William S. Alden In
the New YolA Times book review:
The First Jungle Book has been
translated into Italian under the title
of III Figlo deli Uomo (''rhe Son Of
Man,. and the editor in reviewing the
book says that .Kipling's art is rough
and rude. but that he may in certain re-
spects be compared to Poe This Is
delightful, and it shows that transla-
tons from English into Italian are
sometimes as bad as translations
from Italian into English. In what
possible way the jungle Book re
minds one Of Poe is probably known
only to the man who finds Kipling's
art rough and rude.

Sheen Made Big Cotton,

a correspondent of Farm and Ranch
says: zone of the most difficult prob
lens with which Southern farmers
have had to wrestle IS that of proper
fertilizing for cotton. On black lands
with alternate plots fertilized and un-
fertilized, the unfertilized have usually
given the best results. On sandy
loans heavy applications of nitroge-
nous manurcs have given too much
weed without a corresponding yield
CT lint and seed. and yet on our river
bottom lands, rich in humus, the cot
ton plant frequently grows eight to
nine feet high, and yields from $50 to
1000 pounds of lint cotton per acre.
Here we have heavy yield with enor-
nous weed, proving that heavy yield
and great growth OF weed are not in-
compatible. but under proper cOndi-
tions of soil and good cultivation the
'weedy' growth is necessary to large
yield of cotton. The writer had seven
acres of sandy loam that had been a
sheep pen, or series of pens. For
twelve years this ground was planted
alternately with cotton and corn. The
first year the cotton was LETT eighteen
inches apart in four-foot rows. The re-
suit was an imDenetrable thicket and
not 500 pounds Of seed cotton on the
seven acres. Afterward it was planted
in siX-foot rows and thinned to four
feet, and the average yield Of five years
covering period of twelve years. was
515 pounds Of lint. and not pound of
additional fertilizer was used. The
same land also averaged fortytwo
bushels of corn for the six alternate
years. There is something more in
this matter of fertilization for cotton
than the character and quantity of
the fertilizer. In one respect cotton
differs from most staple crops, because
the more fertile the soil, the greater
distance the plants must have. 1t is
the reverse in the case of corn.

SOUTHERN FARM NOTES.
Topics Of Interest to the Planter, Stock
man and Truck Grower,

two or three acres of that land you in
tend to plant in cotton in upland rice
and ill your barn with some of the
best feedstutf that you have ever fed.
l filled my barn last fall with rice hay,
mfllet and peavine hay, as fine as ever
grew. and have fed my mules and cows
nothing much but this hay this winter,
and have plenty to carry me through,
l also make as much corn and cotton
as any other man to the mule. Plenty
of hay and corn and cattle to consume
it is the secret of success in farming

Best Varieties of Onions.

Onions are not grown in the South
to anything like the extent they are in
tie North and West. but some of our
growers are growing them very sue
cessfully. The varieties best adapted
to the South are the Bermudas, Extra
Early White Pearl, and the potato on
of other sorts also succeed and do
very well.

Cotton and Cattle.

Where cotton is raised abundantly
should be good place to feed cattle.
Yet in most of the cotton States few
cattle are fed. The reason is that in
these sections not enough attention has
been paid to live stock feed to under
stand it. In all the Gulf States there
is good pasture and plenty of water.
which makes it an ideal country in
which to raise live stock. In Alabama
for instance, some cattle are raised,
but they are chiefly scrubs and bring
poor prices. The people have yet to
be educated that there is money in pro-
ducing and feeding good cattle, and
nothing in raising knotheads.

Experiment With Upland Rice.

In 1900 planted one pound Oh land
that would have made fifteen bushels
of corn per acre, writes w. d. Osborn
Of Logpit, Ala, in Home and Farm,
and harvested five and one-half bush
els of clean, rough rice; shipped 115
pounds to a rice mill and had it cleaned
and received back seventy pounds Of
clean rice, pronounced by one Of our
merchants in Alexander City, Ala, to
be as good as any that they sold
There were two grades-cracked and
uncracked. / am satisfied that l made
per acre. also had some of the rough
rice ground ON a grist mill and fed to
my COW. l find it as good as corn
meal l notice in a bulletin from the
South Carolina Experiment Station on
the feeding Of rice meal to hogs they
find that rice meal is as good as corn
meal or better 1t is easily grown.
Plant after danger of frost in drills
like sorghum, two or three foot rows.
and cultivate two or three times and
you are. sure of good crop. All stock
love it. Cut in the dough state it
makes an excellent hay. Last year
planted a small patch and harvested
several bushels, but l didn't consider
it a good yield. 1t grows from three
to five feet high, and when it began to
head the heads would curl up like they
had heen crlt off. Has any other read
er had similar experience? l would
like to hear from them as to what was
the matter and the remedy.

The new city council meets for its
first session tomorrow evening at SEQ
O'Clock. The retiring courcil will
meet at 1880 and after finishing their
business will adjourn sine die. The
new aldermen have expressed them
selves in favor of a searching inquiry
into the financial standing of the city
80 that all citizens may know exactly
what condition the city is in. Since
publishing the statement last week the
TRIBUNE has learned of several large
bills contracted for but not paid which
were not included in the figures
named. After everything has been
checked over the TRIBUNE will give
the people of Willmar the facts, which
they certainly are entitled to know.
1t is essential to the temperance
cause In particular that the exact e.
nancial condition OF the city at the
beginning of the year be generally
known and understood. Under the
new charter, the council will appoint
an auditor whose duties will be to
check up the city clerk and report to
the council at stated intervals. A
proper inventory OF all property be-
longing to the city will be made be-
fore the municipal water and light
plant is turned over to the new COM
mission that is to manage it hereafter.
