Texas ami Her Vast Area.

Some idea of the State Of TEXAS
may be formed with the aid of u few
statistics. Its extreme length is G2G
and its breadth 765 miles. comprising
an area of 265,7SO square miles. II
has 243 counties, 19.500,O0O acres of
improved farming land and farm prop
erty of the value of S9b2 100000. The
number of its farms is 3d. 100
Its population as shown by the last
census was 3.O4S.7l0, being in point
of numbers the sixth State In the
Union. Those which exce' Il ii are New
York, Pennsylvania, ohio, AIissou"
and Illinois. whose aggregate popula
ton Is 23,6.6 100. Yet their total area
ii only 262.O1O square miles. This is
less by 3.77O miles than Texas. which
would not be equalized were Connecti
cut and Rhode Island thrown in. II
the population of Texas were as great
to the square mile as New Iork's il
would be 49.59S22 or nearly twice

A REMARKABLE WATCH.
Cartons Relic Once Belonged to Queen
Mary of Scotland.

The descendants of Mary Setoun,
one Of the four maids of honor to
Mary Queen Of Scotland. have in their
possession il curious watch. which was
given by that queen to her fnvOrite.
The watch, which Is in the shape of il
miniature skull, is about two Inches
and half in diameter. 1t is supposed
TO have been purchased by Mary her
self when on a visit to Blois with her
husband, the dauphin of France, as
It has the name of celebrated Rols
manufacturer engraved on it.
The entire skull is curiously en-
9ravcd. On the forehead there Il Il
picture Of Death with the usual
scythe and hour glass and sand glass.
He is depicted as standing between
palace and u hOvel, to show that he
Is no respector of persons. and under
meath is the familiar quotation from
Horace, "Pallida more aequo puisat
pede pauperium tabernas Regumque
ttirres." At the back of the skull Is
another representation. this one being
Of Time devOuring everything. Time
Also carries a scythe. and beside him
is the emblem OF eternity-the serpent
with It's tall In its mouth
The upper section of the skull is
divided into two pictures. On one side
Is the CrucifXion. with the Marys
kneeling at the foot Of the cross. and
on the other side are Adam and Eve
surrounded by auimals in the Garden
Of Eden.
Below these pictures. running right
round the skull. there is an openwork
band. to allow the sound of the strk-
ing OF the watch to be heard. The
openw work La a series of designs cut
TO represent the various emblems Of
the Crucifixion, such as scollrges. the
cross, swords. spears, the lantern used
III the garden, and so forth. All of
The carvings have appropriate Latin
quotations.
BY reversing the skull and holding
the upper part in the palm Of the
hand and lifting the under jaw on It's
hinge the watch may be opened, and

rapidly to the front since their intro

identical with the Barred Rocks, and
as useful fowls they have few equals
and doubtless no superlors. Almost
everyone is familiar with the Barred
Plymouth Rocks and as this branch
possesses all the merit of their an
cestors. we hardly think a detailed de-
scription necessary. Suffice it TO say
that we think the buff branch of this

Getting stand of Glover.

Many failures TO secure Il catch Of
clover are wholly due to the attempt
being made on soil that contains too
much acid, sour soil, as we call it.
The remedy is. Of course. lime. and
this may be applied after testing the
soil with itmus paper. as advised in
this department many times. That
there ought to be more clover grown
on farms than there is no one will
deny, and If this Is admitted why not
get the soil in the necessary condition
to make the crop. 1t Is true that the
soil acidity may not be the only rea
son for falling to make catch of clio
yer. but it can do no harm to time the
soil if it needs it and then look for
the other reasons why clover will not
grow on 1t.

Trouah for Young Stock.

One Of the troubles in feeding stock
is the waste of food, and there should
be some plan on every farm where
there is number of heads of sheep or
calves so that the feeding could be
done at the smallest possible expense
and at the greatest possible saving.
A trough built in the following man
ner will be found saver OF feed.
While it may be made any length de-

should be fifteen inches wide and, the

Strong end pieces are placed in pO-

from the ground to the desired height,

Rotating Wheat and Potatoes.


There have been all sorts of results
with wheat following potatoes. and
such results have largely followed
closely in accordance with the fertil-
zers used. Naturally. as wheat does
best on soil which has been wei
worked and prepared. following the
potato crop with wheat offers every
chance for a good crop of the cereal,
but always provided the proper fer
tiliZers are applied and in considerable
quantity. for it must be remembered
that the potato crop has not left much
of the applied fertilizer for any fol.
lowing crop. and second, that the ac-
ton of the fertilizer will necessarily
be slower during the season in which
the wheat gets its start. In following
potatoes with wheat try this plan.
Rake off the potato tops. and with the
the depth of two or three inches; then
roll the ground and drill in the seed
with 200 pounds to the acre of some
commercial fertilizer rich in phos-
phoric acid. The potato tops may DE
spread over the seed bed as a mulch.
and will materially help the wheat
Rather radical way of doing this
work, perhaps. but it has paid well
with many farmers. hence is worth
