The fourth act Is devoted largely TO
preparations for the chariot race. Esther
and Iras appear and disappear. In this
act comes the beautiful scene on the
moonlit lake, where Iras plies the arts
of Cleopatra. Ben Hur is her victim The
color and atmosphere of Egypt Is felt In
every part of this act. The barge scene
Is surprisingly beautiful.

The second act is full Of dramatic
force and beauty. Three years have
passed and the Prince of Hnr Is seen
still in a war galley as a slave, a rover.
The scene is between decks and three
tiers of rowers are shown, and the man
ner in which they act together and the
vessel is controlled, The scene Is real
istic and instructive. galley slave be-
comes In this way actual, and In the
battle that ensues the Trreme is sunk.
In the second scene Ben Hur and Arrius
the Tribune are seen on a raft. Ben Hur
has saved the latter, and Roman galley
rescues both This frees the hero of the
play.

see Ben Hur, handsome stalwart young
Jew, surrounded by his mother and sister
and In the bright sunlight the roofs of
the Holy City and the green hills about
it, Massala, Roman, visits Ben Hur,
and a quarrel springs up. Then comes

Selections From the Departmental Prac-
teal Suggestion by Col. ]. B. Kile-
brew in the Southern Farm Magazine
The month of July is partly a
month of realization.
The wheat crop is generally
threshed and marketed, and the
farmer finds relief from financial
pressure. Early potatoes, where
grown, go into market in the months
of May and June. The very early
potatoes are now grown for market
mainly In the extreme Southern
States, and the wheat-growing re-
gions have to look to the wheat crop
for the earliest return.
sEooND CROP POTATOES.
The second crop of potatoes should
be planted in July from eed=grown.
early in the season. In order to
ripen these for planting, they should
be put under shade trees In layers a
foot or more in thickness, where.
they may be exposed during morning
and evening to the tempered rays of
the sun. In two or three weeks the
tubers will u a greenish hue
and lose some of their plumpness.
These are indications that they may
be planted. Unless they go through
this ripening process they will not
send out shoots when planted. Late
planted potatoes of an early variety
make the best seed for the early crop
the following spring, and they are
readily sold at good prices for this
purpose. There are late varieties
of potatoes that are never planted
the first of July, and with seasonable
weather they will make larger yields
than the so-called early sorts. There
is a pinkish potatoes, known in
some localities as the Mountain
Sprout, that, if planted about the
first week in July, will make enorm-
III yields. The writer has known 400
bushels of this variety to be grown
on an acre of land having a dark,
friable soil, without any fertilization
whatever. While not a good potato
for the market, it has an excellent
flavor, but it's good qualities do not
mature until the ensuing spring.
Another late variety seldom now
planted, known as the Peach Blow,
is very prolific and of excellent
quality, through liable when large
to have hollow centers. There are
now so many good varieties that
mention is made of these simply be-
aus they we're once great favorites
with the average farmer. 1t is best
in planting the late crops of pota-
toes, whether of the early or late va
rieties, to use no heating manures.
The hot and drying weather in July
and August is unfavorable to the
growth of this vegetable. IF it can
be kept alive, however, until the cool
nights of September set in and a
few good showers fall, it grows with
astonishing rapidity. Potatoes as
large as peas in early September will

reach as high as $50 per acre, and
it is probably the most satisfactory
vegetable crop now grown in the
South. Canning factories arebeing
erected in many centers for utiliz-
ing that portion of the cropsunsuit-
ed for shipping.
WHEAT LAND.
The latter part of July following
land for the wheat crop should be-
gin. The earlier the land is broken
when it has a heavy growth of
clover or peas, the better for the
succeeding wheat crop. The green
crop when turnedzunder should have
time to decompose before the sowing
of the wheat. Otherwise the unde-
cayed mass will make thesland toe
porous for the healthy growth of the
wheat plant. No workais. nor inn
portant to the wheat=groWing farm
er than a thorough preparation of
the soil before the sowing of the
crop. If the4land is broken In July,
it should be double-disked or re-
broken In September The yield of
wheat depends quite as much on the
preparation of the soil as on its fer
tility. Thin soils, well prepared, will
make a better yield than rich soils
filed with undecomposed vegetable
matter mixed with unbroken clods.
ROOT CROPS.
Mangel wurtzeI may be planted
early in July on land in the finest
possible condition. Drills thirty
inches apart should be made and the
seed sown in these, and after the
plants are well up and established
they should be thinned so as to stand
six inches apart in the rows. Four
pounds of seed are sufficient for the
acre. In the cultivation of the crop
care should be taken not to injure
the leaves. From ten to twenty
tons per acre may be easily grown
upon land that will yield fifty bush
els of corn per acre. After the roots
have been pulled up they should be
stored in a well-ventilated cellar or
pit until they have gone through a
sweat. Afterwards they should be
covered deep enough not to freeze.
Turnips may be sown the latter
part of the month. They may be
sown broadcast or in drills twelve
inches apart on a soil well MANFRED
and well prepared. The latter meth
cd of planting with one cultivation
will most surely make a large crop.
The American farmer has not yet
learned to make such a profitable
use of turnips as the English farm
er. For depasturing with sheep
during the winter months very few
crops are equal to the turnip, and
English and Scotch farmers have
this crop in the system of rotation,
and find it one of the best for in
creasing the fertility of the soil.
Turnips may be sown as late as the

great addlt1on to the number Of
leguminous plants that have, vi+b;n
the last twenty years, attracted 80
much attention as nitrogen-vie1d;no
plants. The soy bean is probabl9
richer in nutrition than any Of them
It is a prolific bearer, and as m,,ob
as twenty to thirty bushels of beans
per acre are not uncommon on eood
land. The soy bean will stand as
much dry weather as Kafr corn
and for that reason is a favor;to
crop in the arid regions of Kansas
and the Northwest. The value Of
this bean as a feed for hogs has been
fully tested at the Kansas expert
ment station. It was found that In
dian corn fed alone to hogs made
from six to seven pounds gain in
weight per bushel, but if a proper
ton of one-ffth of soy beans was
added to the feed the increase in
weight to the hogs was practically
doubled. Soy beans do best when
drilled in rows thirty inches apart
and the beans dropped three or four
inches apart in the row. They may
be cultivated with a harrow or cult
vator. Level cultivation is best.
Half-bushel of seed is enough to

If planted for hay alone, they may
be sown on well-prepared land like
cowpeas-one. bushel to the acre and
covered with a harrow. July is rath-
er late to plant this legume for max
ing a heavy yield of beans. The
pods, like cotton bolls, continue to
mature until frost, but there is
scarcely time enough when own in
July for the pods to mature in large
numbers.
Cowpeas may also be sown in July
for the making of hay and as the
other crop leaves the land in such
splendid condition for wheat as the
forerunner of the wheat crop. No
cowpea when taken off as a hay
crop. In the experience of the
writer the Black pea makes by far
the largest quantity of forage on
clayey soils. The Unknown variety
seems to be better adapted to soils
containing a large percentage OF
siliceous matter. The WhippoorwilI,
White and Red Crowder will ripen
earlier than the varieties mentioned
above. The heaviest seed producers
r the Clay, the Unknown and the
Black.
SORGHUM.
The introduction of no forage
plant into the United States has
been fruitful of more good results
than sugar sorghum or the Chinese
sugar-cane. It was first planted IN
the United States about 1851. 1t IS
valuable either for the silo or for
fodder. 1t may be sown in the
South for the making of forage up
to the 18th of July. The seed will
not always mature sown so late, but
this. is not important when planted
for forage. Tt may be sown broad
cast, one bushel to the acre, and cut
when the seeds are in the milky state

good stout mower. A crop may Oe

timothy is the most easily saved A
few hoursin the sun will cure it
sufficiently to be put into ricks or
stacks. Only one precaution is
necessary in putting up timothy hay.
The stack or rick should be frequent
ly raked downwards. Should any
wisps of the hay stand upright they
will form conduits for the rain
water to penetrate the mass of hay
and cause a decayed spot. When a
farmer has a suffciency of shed or
barn room it is always best to store
the hay away under shelter. English
farmers usually thatch their hay
stacks, a custom that could be fol-
lowed with profit by the farmers in
this country.
OATS.
Oats should also be secured by be-
ing put under shelter, threshed or
stacked. It requires more skill to
stack oats to prevent leakage than
to stack timothy hay; nor should the
stacks be put so close together or
so near large trees that any part of
them will be kept continually in the
shade. Such shaded parts will be
sure to decay should there be any
quantity of rain.
oowPEAs. WITH CORN.
The main corn crop is usually
laid by" early in July in nearly all
the border States. 1t would be very
profitable to the farmers if at the
last blowing of the corn cowpeas
should be sown in the middle of the
rows Immediately in advance of the
plows or cultivators. In no way can
the crop of coYpeas be made more
profitable for feeding purposes.
When sown with the corn at this
period they have ample time for ma
turing before the advent of frost.
Having the cornstalks for support,
the vines and peas are protected
from contact with the earth and the
peas are kept in a sound condition
throughout the winter months. At
ter the corn is harvested cattle and
swine especially will find rich CLEAN
ings throughout the winter months,
and will need but little other feed if
the rec of peas ssown will average
one-fourth of an acre to the head
of stock. Sheep are also very fond
of the peas and pea vines, and when
the snow is on the ground will even
burrow through the snowdrifts in
search of them.
Quickly-maturing corn for roast
ing ears or for canning purposes
may be planted up to the goth of
July in all the States south of the
Ohio River and of Richmond, Va.
This is one of the most highly
priced vegetables found on the table
of the American farmer.

Drowned at North sedgwick.

Cecil Page, one of North Sedgwick's
most popular young men, was drowned
while skating ON the stream near the out
let OF Billings pond In Bluehili, called
first pond, last Tuesday afternoon, Dec. a.
Young Page had gone to attend to the
traps he had In the vicinity OF the pond,
and not returning home at dark, a search
ing party was organized, but the body
was not found till Wednesday morning.
He was a young man about twenty
years of age, and was well known and
loved by a large circle of friends and
acquintances. His death came as a shock
to the whole community, and heartfelt
sympathy goes out to the bereaved ones.
Funeral services were held Friday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. E. s. Drew,
assisted by Rev. Mr.. Thompson. The
members of the grange and his school,
mates expressed their regard by beauti-
fol floral tributes.
