Governor Sparks Candidacy,

The Reno Gazette in an editorial
claims that Governor Sparks has never
given his consent to be the Democratic

IL further claims that at a caucus of
leaders at W~innemucca, 1t is stated that
he insisted upon the understanding
that under certain business c%ontingen-

The Gazette thinks the Governor has

WOMEN DECIDE A WAGER.
ineumhranes Of Skirts Shown by Prae'
ticai Proof


Two women well known in Vienna
were recently walking beside Lake
Geneva, discussing the latest fash.
ions, when one Of them suddenly re-
marked that she wished she was not
obliged to wear a skirt, as she would
very much like to bathe then and
there In the cool lake. A warm argu.
ment followed, one maintaining that
0 petticoat would not prove an en-
cumbrance In the water and the other
insisting that no woman who wore
either q petticoat or corsets could
swim or even keep afloat for more
than a few minutes.
AS neither would give way to the
other, they finally resolved to test
the matter practically. and conse-
Quently, after making small wager,
they plunged into the lake. AS they
were dressed in the height Of fashion
their appearance in the water caused
a sensation among crowd OF tour
lists who were on the bank, and at
once the cry arose that they intended
to commit suicide. A minute or two
later half a dozen boats were on the
way to rescue them, but the ladies
laughingly said that they required no
assistance, and to show that they
were in 70 danger :hey swan out a
little way and then returned to the
shore.
The one who had maintained that a
woman's dress was no encumbrance
in the water then candidly admitted
that she was mistaken, and vowed
that in future whenever she visited
the lake she woule dispense with her
corsets.-New York Herald.

Value OF Cotton Seed.

With regard to the item Of grain for
cattle feeding, the South has many
distinct advantages. There is cotton
seed meal, for example. the greatest
concentrate known, which can be pro-
cured for $50 to S25 ton. For fertili-
zer alone it is worth that much. and
hence when fed to beef cattle the
farmer gets two profits from it. The
SOW beans already referred to when
Welding twenty-five bushels per acre
give practically the protein equiVaient
Of eighty to 100 bushels OF corn per
acre. As they come as second crop
this gives the farmer a distinct advan-
tase in the matter Of protein produc-
ton for the early growth and develop
ment of beef cattle on an economic Das-
sis.-Progressive Farmer.

Danger OF Untried Crops.

It is dangerous for farmers to
leave off the old staple crops and
plant some untr!ed crops when they
are not familiar with their manage
ment. Nearly every one who tries 1t
will get left. A farmer We know OF
who had been planting cotton all his
life and had been able to make both
ends meet was cllured by the high
price of tobacco to abandon cotton and
plant tobacco. When his crop vas
sold he received just three-fourths
enough to pay for the fertilizer used
on the crop. All Of his work, build
ing barn, cultivating crop, etc, all
gone.-Progressive Farmer.

The Granville TOBACCO Wilt.


The North Carolina Agricultural E1-

are Professors +. L. Stevens and w.
G. Sackstt. All interested tobacco

bulletipain full, but for the benefit OF
the general public We reprint here
the General conclusions of Messrs.
Stevens and Sackett:
yThe tobacco wilt is very serious
enemy which not only Injuries the
crop. but also depreciates the value
of the land Effected. inasmuch as 1t
prohibits the growing Of tobacco in
the affected soils.
ut is q contagious disease spread
inc largely through infected soil.
There is little hope OF restoring
land that is once affected. The ut
most care should be taken therefore
TO prevent the spreading of the germ
nv means of infec,ed tools or by any
means.
"The number of germs should be
diminished by cleaning up old heids
and by burning all diseased plants in
slightly affected fields as soon as they
are discovered.
"The greatest hope for the redemp'
ton of land now affected lies in the de-
velopment Of q variety Of tobacco that
can resist the disease"

BRAVE FIGHT FOR LIBERTY.
Russian Counts Vain Efforts to Es'
cane Secret Police.


cape Secret Police.
The career Of the Russian Count
Nicholas Savin, who was arrested at
Hamburg a few days ago on the In
formation of the Russian secret police,
reads like a page of fiction. Several
times previously the count, by most
reckless courage, had escaped from
his prison exile in Siberia, where ne
had been sent for committing forgery.
and each time he was recaptured and
extradited from the country where ne
was found. His last flight, which has
lust ended In his arrest at Hamburg,
has given the Russian police ten
years trouble. The count got away
from Siberia in 1893, and succeeded in
reaching the United States. For i've
years he lived undiscovered IN Chi
cago. earning his living at various
times as waiter, billiard-marker. cab
man aad tram conductor. In 1898 he
volunteered for the war. and fought
with great distinction with the Amer
ican troops against Spain. AIter"aros
he went to Spain as the representa-
tive of an American export house. The
Russian secret police were meanwhile
making an incessant search and re-
Gently they located him IN Spain.
When the count discovered that his
identity was known he boarded
steamer at Lisbon, bound for Ham
burg. Detectives booked passages by
the same vessel, and on arrival at
Hamburg persuaded the German au-
thorities to seize the count. He will
be taken back to Siberia after the
extradition formalities. The count,
who Is A years of age, is the husband
OF the French Countess Lantrec de
Toulouse.

Lack of Hunus.

There are thousands Of acres in the
South which. when first cleared. were
In an unproductive condition, by rea-
son of a lack of humus. The red clay
uplands of the South have naturally
less humus than similar lands In the
North. for in our open woodlands the
leaves are blown away to the holiows
and bottoms in winter, while in the
North they are packed down by snow
and held to rot where they fell, and
thus q larger amount of humus or veg
etable decay is found there. But when
these are stored with humus-maklnS
matter they rapidly increase in pro-
ductiveness because Of their improved
mechanical condition. I once re-
marked to n friend. good farmer. in
an improving section, that I thought a
certain field Of corn was poor for a
piece of new ground. "Newly cleared
land here" he said, ''is the poorest
land we have. and we never expect it
to do well till we have handled it a
feix-xears and got some clover and peas
on it."N

What to Plant.

If we were asked about what to
plant next season we would give it as
our opinion that every farmer should
be sure and raise enough corn and
meat to supply the farm and make all
the cotton possible, as the price Of cot
ton is likely to be on paying basis for
at least a year to come; in fact. with
the labor conditions that now confront
us, we don't see how the South Is to
increase the cotton crop to meet the
increasing demand for cotton goods

What An Acre VIII Do.

In cattle production an acre OF land
ln the middle South in Bermuda grass
will probably carry one animal LOT
shout seven months; an acre of blue
grass in the North will do this. Lana
in the South is much cheaper than IN
the North, and hence taxes and the
necessary investments are less. Inc
Southern farmer on his acre OF lana
can produce two crops year II neeo
be. A cereal crop. for example, FOR
grain production; this may be barley
oats or rye, to be followed the same
year by cowpeas or soy beans for hay
or grain. For this crop he can obtain
possibly twenty or twenty-five bushels
of grain and two or more tons OF IA!
quite as rich and valuable as alfalfa.
HS>may follow his cereal crop WIN
en and cowpeas or corn and peas
silage with the expectation OF get
ting ten 20 twelve tons Of the latter
i Der acre. If he chooses he may nave
, a pasture of rye through 4 part OF the
winter and early spring after the Ber'
muda grass is gone. He can also hpSe
4 succession of forage crops laid down
rs pastures through aboat-|seven
months Of the year. provided he has
not Bermuda grass and cannot have
.e tame grasses. By coupling Texas
Ilue grass with Bermuda he can have
permanent pasture through practi-
Ant All the year. The great draw
pack to this plant, Of course, IS the
Texas blue grass roots. but the South
ern farmer who is patient and indus
rious, can start with few of these
which he can afford to purchase. and In
short time establish quite a large
rea Of this pasture. Bermuda grass,
er pasture, will grow on almost any
fype of soil, and can be easily and
cheaply established; more so probably
than blue grass.
OF course Southern soils. in order to
get the results indicated above. must
b. well treated, but no more so than IN
Illinois or Indiana. They will also re-
spond to good treatment as quickly
and as surely as soils in those States.-
