Humbugging the Farmers.

never get and read the bulletins from
the State Experiment Stations. But they
will quickly pay So TO 50 to an lrreSpon-
| sible peddler who tells them that he IS
q wonderful chemist and has made g
great discovery in fertilizers, and that
| the chemists at the Experiment Stations
are all ignoramuses as compared with
him. One of these men has been, Tor a
year or SO, doing a thriving business
in the South selling a formula for which
the easy going Patent ONCE granted
him a patent, and the men who DO not
attend the Institutes nor read the bulle-
tins are paying for it, when they could
get a better formula without cost from
their Experiment Station. These com
post peddlers take advantage of the
ignorance Of the men who know it all
and nave no use for Institutes or bulle-
tins. Proclaiming themselves great
chemists, though no chemist ever heard
Of them and no laboratory ever saw
them. they make the non-reading men on
the farms believe that they are what
they claim to be, and the men who can
not afford a dollar for a farm paper
eagerly part with their dollars for an
ignorantly contrived formula and a right
, to use what is of no real use to them in
the improvement Of their lands. We sup
pose that it is the gambling spirit that
all men have to some extent that makes
men hope for great results on a venture.
and to take the say so of a stranger
rather than seek the help of those
whose sole business it is to help them
If any farmer needs q formula for the
home mixing of fertilizers or compost

always ready to furnish him with correct
information.

and in speeches of white sympathizers,
d evidence of the progress the negro
mas made since slavery.
Mr.. Tillinghast declares that slavery
civilized the negro and that since the
Withdrawal of slavery the race has gone
backward This view is sharply sub
Sfantiated in Louisiana. where the de-
tcrioraticn of the negro is mainly due
70 the separation of the races, which is
50 marked a feature OF the South today.
lhtermarriage between the races is pro-
hlDlted in louisiana: even miscegena-
non was made a crime by the last
Legislature. and that influx of white
blood which was at least improving the
negro mentally has ceased. The sepa-
ration IS growing more marked every
DAY. The law separates the races in
the hotels, ~thedters, restaurants, on the
cars, street railways and boats. even in
the penitentiary and insane asylum. The
trend of affairs has separated them in
other respects. The negroes now occupy
dlstlnct quarters OF the town. In politics..
religion and social affairs they are
separate. Visitors to New Orleans are
always surprised at the small number Of
negroes they see on the streets. the rea-
son therefor being that the negroes do
not visit the white suburbs of patron
lie white stores. With this separation.
the white control and discipline of the
negro race has been lost, the negro is
thrown more and more on his own re-
sources and the ciyilizing work of sla-
very IS being undone. The segregation
OF the negroes is better for the White
man, but it has proved a most unfortu-
nate setback for the negro.

merely to call your attention to the fact
mat there is a flaw in the line of argu-

improving today it does not follow that
the negro is improving. If you look over

A recent report from C. T. Prall. one
of the photographers of the survey,
has reported the existence Of stream
whose water in the summer season en-
tirely vanishes midway In its course.
The river is known as the Dry Fork,
a small stream in northwestern Utah,
tributary to Ashley creek. About four
teen miles from its source in the Uinta
mountains this stream reaches a largo
basin or sink, whose walls are from
rs to 100 feet high, except on the up
stream side. The pool is apparently
bottomless and the water in it revolves
with a slow circular motion, caused
either by the incoming waters or by
suction from below, or both. The
only visible outlet to this pool is a
narrow rock channel from which Il
little water flows, but IS soon lost to
sight a few hundred yards below. A
measurement Of the main stream just
above the pool showed a volume Of
ninety-six cubic feet of water passing
each second, but this entire flow dis
appears in the basin and the stream
for miles below is perfectly dry. About
seven miles below this interesting pool
were found several springs, one Of
them is large hole twenty-five feet
in diameter and twenty feet deep,
which at times are empty and again
l..ied with water. 1t is thought that
the water which disappears in the
upper pool, flows underground. deep
below in the gravels, which form the
bed of the stream, and in times OF
heavy rainfall appears again In the
large springs below.

Women are beginning to knit and
crochet again. This is no haphazard
guess, but an actual fact, CLEANED from
the wholesale houses, where the sale
of wool during the last year was
double that Of any recent year. In
one house the letters from women re-
veal an interest in many unexpected
lines. Who, for instance, would ex-
pect to see a letter written in the
angular hand, considered fashionable,
asking for directions for stocking
knitting? Yet such letter is not un-
usual. Perhaps before long we may
zee women resume the old-time GUS
tom of carrying their knitting wher-
ever they go. Knitting in trains and
boats may become fashionable, al
though it is to be hoped that the fad
will not extend to crowded cars. A
knitting needle in the hands of a,"reck-
less lady may be quite as dangerous
weapon as hat pin.

For four days and four nights In the
depths Of the earth, wandering in abso-
lutte darkness through winding gorges,
crawling on hands and knees through
Shiny passages in the Jagged rocks,
hating at times on the brink Of awful
precipices, growing faint from hunger
and almost crazy from hardships
which he was forced to endure-these
are few of the experiences that befell
Capt Caleb Johnson, a Mississippi
river pilot, when he attempted recent
ly to explore the mysteries of Dead
Mans cave at st. Genevieve, just
across the river from Red Bud, Ill.
But with all Of Capt. Johnsons ex-
periences the cave remains as much a
mystery as ever, for he. was without
light for most of the way, and has no
idea to-day how far or where he wan
dered. He only knows that he entered
the cave in Simms' hollow, on the bank
of the river, on Monday morning, and
that on Thursday afternoon farmer
found him in a sinkhole on his farm
four miles from the entrance. Nothing
was, therefore, accomplished, save
perhaps, to take away the superstition
that no one could go into the cave and
come out alive.
