Answer find nothing to criticise
in the plan which you have Indicated
for the management OF your farm
According to it, you can do practical
ly all of the work yourself and you
will have a sufficient diversihcation
of crops for profitable results. The
one difficulty will probably be with
alfalfa. Unless the land is very good
soil with rock within ten feet of the
surface is rather shallow for alfalfa.
Try TO find a piece of land little
deeper than that but If it can't be
found, by all means try alfalfa any
how. Cowpeas sown after oats have
been harvested nearly always furn-
ish an abundance of good pasturage
and in some seasons, mature consid-
erable seed. Winter oats have been
tried to some extent in this part of
Oklahoma. Last year they yielded a
fair crop but the past winter killed
them out almost entirely. Il is pos
sible that they may do well as far
south as you are They are grown to
some extent IN Texas. Here, decent
preparations for a crop Of spring oats
is usually rewarded by a paying yield.

Answer-The lower land which you
describe seems to be best suited to
alfalfa growing. The higher sandy
soil might well be used for fruit. With
al open subsoil such as you describe
and permanent water at twenty-five
feet. alfalfa when once started should
give paying crops and increase in val
ne year by year The soil of your
brothers farm should also be well
suited 20 alfalfa growing, and since
the water is nearer the surface, might
be somewhat better. though ultimate
" after the alfalfa was we'll establish
ed, the soil first mentioned would be
just as good. The reason for this is
that the water eleven feet from the
surface the alfalfa roots would more
quickly get down 10 water than In the
first case. Later. however. on the
first land mentioned the roots would
nnd their way down to permanent
water at depth OF twenty-five feet
and would not have a chance OF get
ting too much water. which might
happen IN the other case A little al

TELEPHONE RATES
To be Raised by Federal Com
pany at Cievela nd ~ Coun-
Gil AQrees.

Cleveland, June 21.-The Indepen-
dent Telephone company, of Cleveland,
which is part of the Federal system,
and which is operating under the name
of the Cuyahoga Telephone company,
has petitioned the council of that city
to allow it to change its franchise as
to make a raise in rates possible. The
rate now charged Is So month, or
$36 year, for residence phones, and
81 a month for business phones.
The directors state that they have
discovered that it Is impossible to do
business at profit at these rates, as
they have to furnish so many connec-
tions for this low price. The cost Of
maintenance Ia SO heavy that there Is
no profit In the business. In the event
that this request is complied with, the
company agrees to furnish rates away
below what the Bell is now charging,
and the argument is advanced that this
will compel the old company to reduce
rates and benefit the public.
The Stark Telephone company, of
Canton, is a part of the same system
as that operating the Cuyahoga ccm-
pany.

THINKS C0.EDUCATION
IS NOT SUCCESSFUL
Harper Of Chicago
University, Does Not Be-
lievo In II.

Chicago, June 20.-After ten years
trial in the Chicago university, Pres
ident W. r. Harper favors separa-
tion of the sexes. He does not believe
the best results are obtained by train
ing young men and young women in
the same classes and in the same en-
vironments. John d. Rockefeller has
invest ted $11, 100000 in the Chicago uni
versity on n co-educational plan. His
latest gift of $75O.O00 was announced
today.
Dr.. Harper is OF the opinion that
healthy young men and women cannot
meet in classes and on campus without
heart and sentiment obliterating the
academic and philosophic. He does
not like to acknowledge it, but he is
moving in way to bring about "se-
questration."

PELEE'S DUST
Thought to Have Caused
Unusual Rainfall Of
the Last Month.

Chicago, June 20-Besides their ef-
feet on the light of the sun and the
moon, as observed recently, the erup-
ton of Mount Pelee on the morning of
May Is and the subsequent volcanic
disturbances in the southern seas have
had considerable effect on climatic
conditions in the United States, and,
it is thought, have in part caused the
heavy rain tall in the east, west, north
and central west during May and the
present month This is substantiated
by records of the Unatcd States wealth
er bureau.
These records show that the rain
fall all over this country in October,
1889, the second month following the
eruption on Krakatoa. in the Strait OF
Sunda, averaged three and four inches
heavier than in the same month four
years previous to that time and for
many years afterward.
Those who claim that the heavy rain
fall of May in all other parts OF the
country except the south, where there
has been little rain for months, came
as natural consequence to the long
drouth, say the volcanic eruptonists
on the island of Martinique would have
caused equally heavy rains in the south
had these disturbances had anything
to do with the rain fall.
But this argument is explained away
by the theory, which Forecaster Cox
of the United States weather bureau
will not gainsay, that the dust from
the eruption of Mount Pelee was
blown out over the Atlantic by strong
east winds and soon after the eruption
and was then carried north and west
over the eastern states and on to this
region.

(StaT Specially

tStan Specldl.)
Youngstown, June 21.-An effort was
made here to get the Hon. Asa w.
Jones to announce himself as a car di-
date for congress. He took the matter
under consideration, promising to give
an answer Friday. When the time ar
rived he stated that he would not make
the race. 1t is understood that the
Foraker club of this city stood ready to
endorse him, and a great deal of pres
sure was brought upon the heavy
voiced statesman to induce him to run.
Some OF Jim Kennedy's friends in
sist that since Jones has declined to
stand for the nomination, it is practi-
cally certain that the former will have
a clean field and a solid delegation, but
the fact that the Ir- min mt lea ers
of the party are endeavoring to get
another candidate is evidence that
Kennedy is not just the man thy are
looking for. 1t is stated that if Judge
Kennedy were the nominee there would
be no trouble about uniting upon him.
1t is thought that if another candi-
date is not forthcoming, the delegates
will not be inclined to stick to the Ma
honing county man very long in the
convention, and that some may break
away to Cameron, of Columbiana, or
ono of the Stark county fellows, de-
