Mr.. Rockefeller gave an initial gift
OF 5000 900 for pathological research,
in pursuance of a scheme which ne
began TO formulate more than two
years ago He selected number of
eminent scientists to work out his
plans, and seventeen months ago he
placed the sum of 81. 200, 900 nt the
disposal of the board for immediate
use, and the execution of the entire
scheme may mean the outlay OF ten
times that sum from Mr.. Rockefe Her Is

scarcity of COTTON Seed.

1t is estimated that about three
fourths of the cOttOn-seed product
mills of Texas have shut down on
account of the scarcity of the seed.
The mills have been paying from
eight to ten dollars per ton for the
late pickings: but it is of poor quail
ity and will make inferior stock. In
spite of poorer quality they expect
to get higher prices for the products,
however, on account of the scarcity
of the seed. Although little cot
ton is opening, most of the bolls that
have been hanging on the stalks have
rotted; and there is no prospect of
further receipts of seed of good quail
ity. There is no prospect that feed
ers will be able to get their cotton
seed meal at any better figures dur
ing the next - months.

THE BRowNLow BILL.
and rhdnk II Will Solve the
Road Question.

Congressman BrOwnlow. of Tonnes
most popular measure introduced in
congress since the civil war. He says
that even the democrat tic legislature of
his own state has Endorsed it. and that
the legislatures of Minnesota, Missouri,
Ala bama and New Mexico have taken
similar action; and that he believes the
bill will be Endorsed by the legisla-
ture of every state in the union, if that
is necessary, in order to press upon
congress the importance of the meas
ure. The following is copy OF the
resolution as adopted by the legisla-
ture of Minnesota:
Whereas. the burden of improving
and maintaining our highways accord
ing to the general prevailing system in
this country rests entirely upon the
agricultural lands and people living i'll
the rural districts, and
Whereas. the state-aid plan for
constructing highways, as practiced
in the states of New Jersey. New York.
Connecticut and Massachusetts. has
proven satisfactory in its operation.
and has offered partial solution of
the road question in that it diStrib-
ntcS this burden of cost so that one
half is paid out of a general fund sup
piled by the state. and
Whereas. it is desirable to extend
this principle of coopera ton and dis
tribntiOn of the burden of cost to
still greater extent. so that the govern
ment of the United States shall bear a
share of the cost of construction Ia be
paid out of the general revenues of
the United States. and
Whereas. one-half of said rev.
enues. aggregating during the last
two years $l,OOO.0nO per annum. is
derived from the agricultural states
and rural districts, while only ten
per cent. of the total amount is APP
propriated by congress for the use
of said agricultural states and dis
tricts. while 90 per cent. is appropri-
ated for public buildings and other
uses pertaining to great cities. and
Whereas, Hon. Walter L. Brown
low. member of congress from Ten
nessee. has introduced a bill in the
United States house of representa-
tives. providing for system of ma
tioual, state and local cooperation
in the permanent improvement Of
the public highways. according to
the provisions of which the sum of
$2O.OOO,OOO is appropriated. and the
United States government is to pay
one-half of the cost of improving
any public highway when requested
so to do by. and in cooperation with.
any state or civil subdivision there
of: therefore. be it
Resolved by the general assem-
bly, of the state of Minnesota. that
we hereby heartily indorse said Brown
low bill, and recommend its passage by
congress. and that we request the
representatives from the state of
Minnesota in congress, and instruct
the United States senators from this
state to vote and support said bill"

ON HAvANA'S STREETS.

To call coach in Havana one stands
on the curb, Kisses with all his might
and waves his right hand with the
same motion he employees to brush
away an annoying fly. In New York
the cab driver who witnessed the per-
Torrance would take it for granted
that he was being waved away and
Kissed.
Cuban boys may be seen at play daily
at a game which is so much like the
American "duck- on-a-rock' that it
must be its first cousin. One stone is
poised on a large one, and the players
attempt to knock it off with other
stones from a distance. The boy who
is ''it'' must replace the stone when it
is knocked off and tag one of the other
players before he can run a certain
distance
Although the electric cars offer a
quicker, smoother and much more
pleasant way of moving about, the resi-
dents of Havana cling to the old-fash-
Toned buses which were once the only
public cOnveyances in the streets, and
the bus patronage is apparently as
good as ever it was. The busses take
advantage of the car tracks for road,
however, and their passengers benefit
from the electric line indirectly, if
they do scorn the cars. The fare is
the same in both.
Havana is as clean as intelligent
sanitary supervision can make it. The
prominent streets are clean, the court
yards are clean, and the walks are
clean. A bad smell is practically I'M
known in the streets. The street
cleaners, most of them in white, are
at work day and night. They wake
one up cleaning, and they lull him to
sleep cleaning. Havana was not clean
er under the American military gov
eminent than it is to-day. The street
cleaning costs more than any other
department of the city government.

CRATE FOR SHIPPING CORN.

when it comes shelled, how are you
going to tell how it was picked out,
by hand or with a scoop shovel? If
you insist on buying in the ear, it en-
forces an honest deal, for you can see
what you are getting. If the seed
man really has good corn, he will be
glad to ship it that way, for he can
get the credit at once for having
something fine.
The only trouble is in the shipping.
and confess it puzzled me for some
time. 1 tried Sacks but the railroad
men simply pounded the life out OF
them, even when each ear was
wrapped in paper, and they arrived
all in a muss. A box or barrel was
nearly as bad. After some expert
menting, tried shipping in the
crate. 1t holds or was meant to hold
72 pounds net, good big bushel, but
l find they often Overrun and some
weigh as high as II net. The top is
made of fve-eighths box lumber, the
corners of two by two elm and the
Stats of one by three hard pine.
dressed. The ears are put in from
one side, or edge rather, and are laid
in ''heads and tails so they will fit
tight. The corn is left rounded up
at the side and when the last two
Stats are nailed on it tightens the
corn like heading a barrel. 1 have
shipped corn hundreds of miles in
them and it has always arrived in
perfect condition. The corn shows
on every side and a card on each side
calls attention to the fact that it is
''real seed corn" There is no patent
in it.-Henry Field, in -farm and
Home.

IMPROVING PASTURES.
1t Can Be Done without Much Ex-
pense III the System Here De-
scribed Is Carried Out.

Very few pastures, compared with
the total number, supply anything
like the feed that they would if
given proper care. With the increas-
ing difficulty of obtaining good farm
help, the Importance of a good pas
ture is made even greater than in
the past. There are three general
causes of unprCductive pastures, two
of which should be looked after at
once. They are too close grazing
of the pasture, poor stand of pas
ture plants and a failure to keep
take up the moisture and plant food
that should go to make pasture, but
which by their rank and overshadOw-
ing growth tend to smother out the
valuable plants. The first cause is
often responsible for the other two.
By continued close cropping the
plants are weakened in vitality and
a severe dry, hot spell of weather
in the summer or cold with or with
out a covering of snow in winter re-
suits in the death of many of the
plants. Even with fall of snow a
field eaten close and smooth is apt
to be swept here and the crowns
of the plants left exposed. The first
thing that should be done now, be-
fore the ground gets settled and
hard to work up, is to go over and
thoroughly disc some grass and
clover seed into all thin patches.
Oftentimes it is we'll to add some
oats or other small! grain that will
grow up and serve as protection
for the more delicate plants while
they are getting start. This
growth will also add materially to
the pasture supply while the clover
and grass are obtaining a fOOthOld.
The next step toward increasing the
productiveness of the pastures is to
arrange to keep the stock off from
them until the grass gets a good
start. If these plants are kept grazed
right TO the crown they are so
weakened as to make but feeble
growth and the amount of pasture
produced will be small. Most plants
would be killed if never allowed to
accumulate any more leaf surface
than is possible with the plants in
the majority of pastures. Then he
careful also to not Craze too close
ly the latter part of the season.;
allow sufficient development of foil
age to store up in the roots a good
supply of nourishment for starting
them off early and vigorously anoth-
er spring. Grow some soiling crop
with which to supplement the pas
lures this season if necessary in or
der to do this. With such treatment
you will be surprised how much
earlier your pastures will come on
and how much greater the supply
of feed they will furnish. = Prairie
Farmer.
