THREE NOTES REGARDING SOIL CUlTI.
WALTON.

If the land processes TO be poor,
and you cannot get fertilizers for Is,
try thorough and deep blowing and
narrowing. There is plant food in
the ground, though when it is scarce
plant roots will have TO go further
so get it and the plants will send out
more foraging roots. The thing TO
dc is TO put the soil in such mechani-
cal condition that the roots a for
age with as little obstruction as pos
sible.
When land has all the humus
washed out of it by continuous clean
cultivation, and teaching rains,
simply adding commercial fertilizers
will do no good. There must be-. de.
oaying vegetable matter or it will be
comparatively barren though nitro
gen by the tons be added to it. It
must have humus TO furnish the con-
sistency that holds moisture and
renders the soil ~permeable by the
tender feeding roots of plants.
Fortunate is the farmer whose
land does not form a hard crust after
every rain. But nearly all land
forms a partial crust and while that
crust remains the soil water is evap-
grated rapidly. The thing TO do then
is TO break up the crust as soon as
possible and thus reduce the evapo-
ration TO a minimum, for before long
the crop is sure TO need that water.
A fne-toothed cultivator, or better,
a weeder, that will cover a three
foot middle, can be run ove ~ TO
8 acres a day, and will leave the soil
in the best possible condition TO re-
sist drouth.-Farm and Ranch.

SOUTHERN SILK CULTURE.

Mr.. Lewis B. Magid, a fnanoter Of
New York, has just returned from q
tour of the Southern States. Ee has
been investigating with a view to
establishing an Italian colony to raise
and produce raw silk, as we'll as TO
start failures TO unwind the silk,
etc. In a letter to the Manufacture
ers' Record Mr.. Magid said that
while his plans are not yet fully out
lined, is has been determined TO
establish the first colony somewhere
in the Piedmont section. He regards
the Piedmont section of the South
as an ideal place for a beginning, and
sees no reason why the farmers
should not engage in silk culture.
His company offers 80 give farmers
information in regard TO the matter,
and he expresses the wish that every
farmer should produce silk, as his
company will create d mar ket for
the oocoons in it's plans o. establish
ing mills. Secretary Wilson, of the
Department. of Agriculture, he says,
has assured him that he will do all
within his power toward establishing
silk culture in the United States
Manufacturers Record.

The value of the sundower is never
generally recognized by our farmers.
Ii is easy TO raise and the seed
affords an excellent food for all kinds
of poultry. The sunfower requires
a reasonably rioh soil in order TO pro
duoe a good crop. Ii may be planted
as any time in the spring and up 80
the middle of June. Sun1owers do
not require any cultivation after the
plants get five or six inches high, as
they will outgrow the weeds and will
keep the weeds down if planted
pretty thick. Last year when l
worked my potatoes l planted sun
flowers between the hills, dropping
two or three seeds in a place. By
the time the potatoes were ripe the
sunfowers @ just getting a start,
so that neither crop injured the
other. l had good crops of potatoes
and of sunfowers Oh the same
ground. When they are ripe nearly
all of the seed may be saved by cut
ting off the heads and giving them a
sudden jar in d BARREL. The chickens
will save what few seed are left in
the head, if they are thrown where
they can get at them.-A. J Legg,
Albion, W. Va.

j. Sterling Morton, Secretary of
Agriculture during President Cleve-
lands second administration, whose
death was announced on April 9th,
has left to the farmer a few innova-
tions which will perpetually remain
as monuments to his memory. He
was known as the Father of Arbor
Day." a day when trees are planted
in all portions of the United States,
not only by agrioulturists, but also
largely participated in by school
children. Secretary Morton also be-
lieved that Congress when appro-
pria ting money for flower and vege-
table seeds, should spend an equal
sun in publishing bulletins which
might be useful to the farmer. Out
of this idea grew the Inauguration
of the publication of Farmers Bulle.

some sections of the county the crop
is very much shortened, in others
the production of strawberries will
reach it's usual proportions. Very

Tarboro Southerner: An echo of
the scarcity of labor last fall has
just reached the sanctum. No earlier
than this week a farmer picked out
of his field cotton which had with
stood all the storms of winter. He
has sold n bale for 81 cents q
pound. This cotton was not picked
before because the farmer could not
obtain the labor. He paid for the

MOTH

VIZ tried, many years ago, the
same arrangement that has Of late
been patented and extensively ad-
vertised as a trap for catching in
furious insects. We found then, as
almost every entomologist in the
country has found, that the traps
caught many more beneficial insects
that it did harmful ones. At the
University of Ontario the Haseltine
moth catcher was tested from June
9TH TO September 7th. The result
was that, of the insects captured
nearly rs per cent. were of decidedly
beneficial character, q considerable
percentage of harmless ones and only
a few harmful ones, with not a single
cooling moth, which the trapi is espe-
oially advertised to catoh. Prof.

History tells us that in 184S, when
gold was discovered n California,
thousands of men rushed to that
place. Thousands made their way
across the desert, amid privations
which strewed the route with skeIe
tons. Also when gold was disoov
cred in Alaska, seekers of fortune
made their way through deep SHOWS
which they stained with bloody feet.
Now, Investigators tell Us that
gold has been discovered in the dairy
industry, and Southern men can
cur this precious metal without
crossing the soorohing sands of the
desert or the ~snow-capped mountains
of Alaska. They are simply re-
quested TO go into that industry and
supply the home demand for good
butter and cheese.

VOTE FOR MAJOR J. M. BOWLER.

We publish today in another column
the modus operandi in vogue in tie
grain weighing department of the state
under the direction of the Republican
railway and warehouse commission,
one of whose members, q. Il. Staples,
is seeking reelection at the hands OF
the voters of Minnesota. Everything
said in the article we publish is literal
ly true and we challenge contradiction
fortified by proof Of any statement
therein contained.
Briefly told, State Weighmaster
Quist has failed to publish his annual
report before election in order to AVOID
comparison with the annual report OF
the same incumbent under the Lind
administratio While the latter show
ed economy. Quist's report would show
extravaganza, and that is the evident
reason for postponing its publication
till after election. The attention of the
electors of the state is directed to the
allegations made by us elsewhere, and
it is their duty to weigh and consider
them well before going to the polls
The farmers. especially. should con
slider the statements made. They
ought to know of their own personal
knowledge whether they are true or
false. If they are true, then it is tc
their interest to vote for man who
will do his utmost to remedy the griev'
anccs under which they suffer at the
hands of theif public servants.

for the lumber kings, and they want
to keep it ON lumber indefinitely. On
stumpage alone the lumber barons
pocket $6,OOO,OOO year by means of
the tariff, and that sum comes out of
the pockets of the people for their
enrichment.
Thomas H. Shevlin, one of the most
potent of the pine stumpage kings, and
the national Republican committee
man for Minnesota, declared during
the primary campaign that lie was
willing to have the tariff be taken off
lumber. Loren Fletcher, who is a
beneficiary of the. tariff, has kept as
silent as an Egyptian mummy. Are
the people of this district going to
keep Fletcher in Congress to attend
to legislation in his own interest, or
are they going to send Il man who
will do his very best to free them
from tariff burdens and break up the
gigantic trusts? Any citizen possessed
of good common sense will vote for
John Lind and keep Fletcher at home
for the balance of his natural life.
He represents clique of wealthy
parasites who have grown fat at the
expense of the people. John Lind
will represent all the people without
distinction and advocate equal rights
for all. special privileges to none.

knowledge and experience in city af-
fairs, James G. Haynes will make IL
splendid record at the head of the
municipal government for the next
two years. He is entitled to receive
the full vote of the party whose chos-
ell candidate he is. His opponent de-
ponds chiefly on the labor vote for his
election. No better friend Of labor
than j. @. Haynes ever sat in the city
council. He always voted for an eight
hour day and for $1.75 as the min
imum wages on city and ward work.
We call upon all Democrats in all
parts of the city to give their undi-
vided support to the Democratic can
didate for mayor and to all aldermanc
aSpirants on his ticket. The candi-
dates for controller and treasurer on
the Democratic ticket are worthy men
who are thoroughly competent for the
offices they seek The candidates for
the various boards are %o3d men and
should not be forgotten. On the whole
the Democratic ticket is the best that
has been presented to the voters in
many years, and if / emo"rats do their
duty on election day it will he tri
triumphant.

We have already given our opinion OF
e. Il. Staples, the most rabid partisan
that ever filled position OF RESPONSE
bility in this state. He is candidate
again for the Office and opposed to him
is Major j. Nj. Bowler, who is infinite
ly his superior in every way. A few
words concerning the Democratic NOM
inee will be of interest to the readers
Of the Irish Standard ut this tine.
Major Bowler is a war veteran of the
old First Minnesota regiment that dis
tinguished itself on the battlefelds of
the South He also fought i'll the
Third Minnesota and by his bravery
rose to the rank OF captain and subse-
quently to the rank of major. Nobody
has ever questioned the patriotism of
Major Bowler and his loyalty to his
country's flag, Notwithstanding his fl
deity to the Democratic party. He was
nominated for lieutenant governor in
1898 with John Lind and made splen.
did run though defeated. Under Lind's
administration he served as dairy and
food commissioner and discharged his
official duties faithfully and well. He
is Il man of superior intelligence ana
being farmer for many years he
thoroughly understands the railway
transportation question and the grain
business far better than his Republic
can opponent. The interests of the
farmers and shippers would be safe i'll
the keeping of Major Bowler. 1t is to
the advantage of the people of Mime
sofa that he be elected. Don't fail to
place a cross after his name on No

The New York Times tells IL story of
the late Senator Matt Carpenter, of

what church he would join if he were
forced to a choice "The Catholic, by
all means,' replied Carpenter. "And
why the Catholic?" Because they
have Il purgatory, and that's a motion

of the friendly feelings manifested by

dangerously ill about year ago, pray
ers for his recovery We're offered up
in all the Protestant churches Of the
