AS not infrequently happens, the best was
reserved for the last by Mr.. Goodwin and
his players. IAN American Citizen" is by
far the best constructed play, with the pos
sible exception OF "In Mizzoura,' this pop
ular actor has ever undertaken. 1t is so
much stronger in its dramatic possibilities,
80 much superior from both a literary and
an acting standpoint than when We Were
Twenty-one'' that there is no ground for
reasonable comparison. The story of the
piece is interesting. probable and told in a
rational way, at no point depending for
effect on accessories.
Mr.. Goodwin's part in 1t, we'll remem-
bered here, is an application OF the char
acter he assumed in "a Gilded Fool" and
really affords him little room for new et-
forts. Yet II is one which fits him well
and he makes 1t entertaining in the ex-
treme. One excellent indication OF his
growth as an actor is afforded by his treat
ment Of the pathetic passages. He no longer
indulges, as was his wont, in liberties
with the situations, and instead of guying
gives genuine Interpretation to the soften
emotions. This is a distinct advance, and
marks his increase in breadth as a come
dian.
Miss Elliott finds much more to do in
American Citizen than In others OF
the plays she has appeared in. Her ad-
vance, too. is noticeable. 1t was in this
part she was introduced to Omaha, and,
truth to tell, she was little more than an
minated doll since then. Her experience
has been OF some advantage. though. and
while she does not attain to all the part,
admits she certainly makes 1t more worthy
Of watching than she did.

NO sun, no moon,
NO morn, no noon,
November"

That was written in England. the land
of fogs and winter darkness. But in our
sunny country, in almost every section
of it, November is usually sunny month,
even where the frost comes heavily. Out
en- the brown plains of Nebraska, while
the nights may be sharp and frosty, the
days are apt to be radiantly beautiful
The hay is in the stacks and the wide
corn fields are brown with the wasteful-
ness of .our careless improvidence of
abundance. The railway companies are
now looking after their snow fences
and the farmers on the windy prairies
are banking up their houses to keep the
frost out of the cellars but the sunshine
is everywhere and the haze of the Indian
Summer hangs over the prairies the fore
runner of clouds and billiards while the
Whirr of the prairie chickens is in The air.
In the wooded East the chestnuts have
fallen and the crack of the rifle tells of
the squirrel shooting while over the
brown fields the settlers range and the
Bob Whites see no rest. But the sun
shines there too and Winter comes by
stealthy eteps. Southwark the golden
sun of the Carolinas lights up the last
picking of the cotton, and the negro ten
ant is hauling his bale of rent cotton
to the warehouse. The congresses ara
busy putting the snowy fleece in shape for
loading on the ships are cars, and only
towards the last of the month does Jack
Frost play much havoc. The leaves are
falling from sheer ripeness and not from
frost. and the hunters of the North are
down after the Bob Whites, and the test
tournament of high priced dogs is at
hand. On the Carolina uplands many a
farmer has his entire taxes paid by
Northern sportsmen for the shooting priv
ileges on his land, and the birds are pro-
tccted from the pot hunters. In the for
estS of the South the great American
game bird, the wild turkey, is still abun-
dant, and battles the skill of any ordinary
gunner, while in the dense swamps and
canebrakes near the Southern coast the
black bear still finds "a secure hiding
place and cannot be entirely eXtcrminat
ed. And over all the country the Amer
lean sunshine rules from the tangled ham,
Knocks of Florida to New England From
tile Carolinas the tea roses still make
the glory of the garden with colorS far
deeper than the Spring flowers, while the
chrysanthemums are allowed to riot in
an abundance of flowers totally different
from the great cabbage headed things the
florists are so fond Of The forest is still
gay with the festoon of the wild smilaX
covering the trees with tinted leaves and
clusters of berries. And over the whole
land smiling plenty reigns. Then as the
glory of November fades in the North,
and the dark days come with billiards.
and sleighing, the harvest of the Winter
sunshine comes in the South with the
locking refugees from New England, and
there the golden sun keeps UP shining
all the Winter through.

ROTATION.

W. NJ Parker, of High Point, \. c., says
that he is young farmer and anxious to
improve. He says that he notices that
we generally advise three year rotation
of corn, oats and peas, wheat and peas,
followed by crimson clover in Winter be-
fore planting corn again. He finds that
on his land, which is gray soil, and not
the usual upland red land that oats are
more satisfactory. He wants to know if
it will not be as we'll to follow corn with
wheat. as he can grow 20 bushels of wheat
per acre. Our young friend writes a let
ter rather too long to quote in full but
the gist of it is whether a four year
rotation would not be better for him and
make less push and hurry at certain sea-
sons Yes, we are of the opinion that
in your case it would be better. Thus
you can follow corn with wheat, and
wheat with peas the same season, wheat
after the peas and clover after this wheat
for one year and then back to corn This
will give clover sod to manure and turn
for corn, and the large amount of forage
and straw and corn will enable you soon
to cover the whole corn land and you
will need no fertilizer but acid phosphate
on the wheat with perhaps little potash
since the gray soil needs potash more
than the red.

HOME MIXING OF FERTILIZERS.

A correspondent sends us a slip from
the American Fertilizer, In which is quot
ed statement from the Florida Station
| in regard to the Importance of the ma
terials-used being finely pulverized for
the best effect, and winds UP with the re-
mark: such being the case, the, farmer
with his sand screen, shovel and barn
floor is at great disadvantage in at
tempting to mix raw materials" Not a
bit of it, The criticism refers only to the
manufacturers of the raw materials. If
these are reduced to the proper fineness
the mixing can be made just as effect
lively with the sand screen, shovel and
barn floor as with the most elaborate
mixing machine. The factories use the
machines because they can mix large
quantities more cheaply, but for all prac-
tical purposes, if the materials are what
they should be, the mixing on the farm
is Just as good as in the factory. In
fact, it has been shown by analyses at
the Stations that the factory mixed goods
were of a considerably variant nature
in different parts of the same bag. On
the same slip is a quotation from the
French chemist, Vile, saying that Each
tlament of the roots must be able to abb
sorb at the same time all the substances
that enter into its composition and this
result cannot be attained unless the mix
ture is homogeneous They might have
quoted authority more highly considered
by scientific men than Vile. But it is
evident that with any practical mixture of
fertilizers such a state of affairs is an
impossibility from the fact that no mat
ter how we'll fertilizer may be mixed
il is practically impossible to get it to
all the rootlets of plant, and it is we'll
known that plants differ as to their abil
ity to take up the different forms Of plant
food when presented to them in the best
shape. The home mixing practice has
gotten too firm a hold on the practical
farmers of the country for anyone to
check it, and the results from home made
goods are uniformly as good and often
better than from factory mixtures that
cost more money. With the best mate
rails farmer can prepare any mixture
he may wish to use in any proportion of
the ingredients, and can with confidence
expect as good results, at least, as though
he had paid for the mixing By someone
else If one prefers to have the fertil-
izers mixed for him, and is willing 10 pay
the extra cost there is no doubt that the
standard mixtures sold by the manufac-
turers will give good results. But if he
is studying economy and is willing to
as good fertilizer for less money than
the manufacturers are willing to supply
them for

of Maryland we do not know of South
ern State that makes an appropriation
for Institutes. The Colleges of Agricul-
ture and the Experiment Stations are do
ing what they can in this way by furnish
ing lecturers, but even they cannot travel
without expense, and our friend down in
Mississippi probably has seen little of
what properly supported and organized
Institutes can do. In one State we know
the Institute Director makes a point of
having specimen copies of all the leading

tuteS.

order to make the flow in such side
bitches as small as possible it is advisa-
Bile to construct outlets into the ada
cent fields or to lay underground pipes
or tile drains with openings into bitches
at frequent intervals.
The size of the side drains should de-
pend upon the character of the soil and
the amount of water they are expected to
carry. If possible they should be located
three feet from the edge of the travelled
roadway so that if the latter is fourteen
feet wide there will be twenty feet of

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

Southern friend objects to :he STATE
ment in Crop Growing and Crop Feed
ing that Farmers Institutes have been
one of the greatest means for the uplift-
ing of the agriculture of the country,
and suggests that the agricultural press
has been a greater influence. We had
no idea of depreciating the influence u
the press by any means, and there is no
doubt that with the reading class of
farmers the press has been the greatest
of all Influences. But it must not be
overlooked that in the States where the
Farmers Institutes have been best Or
ganiZed and conducted they do reach a
class which the farm papers have tried
in vain TO reach and they have been the
greatest influence in getting the farmers
who do not read the papers to do so.
Wherever the Institutes are fostered
as they should be by the State Legis-
latures the have been the greatest help
that the farm papers have ever had, and
through their influence the farm papers
are going into homes where they never
went before .he Institutes walked up the
people and caused more reading to be
done. IN States like Wisconsin the dairy
papers never would have gotten such
holG on the dairymen but for the prac-
teal teaching and illustrations of dairy
work in the Institutes. In the State where
our friend lives he has doubtless seen
little effect from Farmers Institutes.
since there are few of the Southern States
doing much in this line. Outside of North
and South Carolina we know of no organ
lied efforts in the South for Institutes
south OF Maryland and Virginia, and even
in these States the Institutes are not
aided to the extent they should be and
need. Anyone who attended the meeting
of the National Society of Farmers In
stitute Workers held in Washington last
Summer would have realized what pow
er they are getting to be in some of the
States like Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois.

GOOD ROADS.
SOME ARGUMENTS FOR THE USE OF
WIDE-TIRED VEHICLES.

SOME ARGUMENTS FOR THE USE OF
WIDE-TIRED VEHICLES.
The use of wide tires is one of the most
important connected with the good roads
movement, both in the making of the
road-b and preserving it while being
used Good roads can never be per-
manent success in this country until wide
tires have come into general use. In some
of the European countries tires as wide
as six inches are used, and by having the
front axle shorter than the rear the load
road roller surface all the time. Espe-
cially would this device prove of value
On the newly made sand-clay roads which
are now being built with so much success
in our eastern and middle counties. The
constant rutting of these new roads by
narrow tired wagon wheels breaks up the
surface of the road-be and opens the
way for holes and cracks which soon be-
come deep enough to need repairing. The
use of wide tires would furnish a con-
slant rolling and packing of the surface
which is necessary to render it smooth
and uniform. Legislation has been re-
sorted to in a number of States compell-
ing the use of wide tires on all vehicles,
and providing substantial punishment
for all violators of the law Every State
should pass a law making the use of
wide tires compulsory
To change at once to wide tires would
no doubt be a hardship on some owners
of vehicles, but this is point that can
be worked out and adjusted SO that the
expense will not be burdensome. Vehicle
owners should be educated TO see that it
is to their interests to have wide tires,
as the use of them makes fewer repairs
necessary, thus reducing the expense of
maintenance, and besides enables larger
leads to be hauled with the same number
of horses.
In this connection the following eport
made at the New York State Convention
by the standing committee is of interest:
Your committee would call your at
tention to the fact that it is worse than
useless to create expensive and valuable
highways to have them only cut to pieces
by the use of narrow tires as now used
for the hauling of heavy loads in this
State When you have got good thing
it costs money, and you must take care
of it, and change your methods to help
maintain it. Wide tires are of the great
est value in preserving ordinary dirt
roads. We would, therefore, recommend
the passage of State wide-tires law,
simple in its requirements, positive in its
endorsements, and going into operation
two years from this date. in order to
permit every wagon user ample time to
adapt it's tires to the new law in the in
terest of road maintenance

BERMUDA GRASS.

H. w Whitnett, Chadbourn. n. c..
writes that having failed to get good
Bermuda grass sod from planting cut
tings. he procured seed. His soil was
we'll prepared except one strip. Seed
was sown about the first of July and in
August he had a Bermuda sod on the
moist part of the hard and poorly pre-
pared strip, but none on the higher and
dryer soil. He comes TO the conclusion
that the seed at Go cents per pound.
or even 81, it does not pay to use the
roots. That May is early enough to SOW
the seed there. and that it is not safe
to get ii in too deep. He proposes to seed
a piece &C land to rye and rape and pas
ture it in winter and then in May sow
