BIG CATTLE RANCH.

Pensacola Journal Information
reached Pensacola by wire yesterday to
the effect that plans had about ma
tured for the purchase, in Florida, of
100000 acres of land by capitalists of
Chicago, to be used as a cattle ranch,
and that the deal for this amount of
land is about to be contaminated. No
information is given as to the location
or the land, but it was stated in the
telegram that Pensacola would be the
shipping port of the big concern.
While but little is known in Pensacola
regarding the move, it is the general
impression that the capitalists referred
to represent a combination of big
packing houses, which some months
ago made move to acquire large
tracts of land in Baldwin county, Ala
bama, and in Western Florida, for the
purpose of establishing an immense
cattle ranch.

The coroner's jury investigating the
death of Gambler Waters. whose body
Was found in the Oconee river at

clear young Arthur Venable and Ell

OF any connection with the crime. The
verdict of the jury was that Waters

parties and body thrown into the river.
Young Waters was a well-to-do far

BIG TAX RETURNS.

Receiver Armistead Thursday after
noon which, in the sum total, aggre-
gate $1,S4S,650, nearly 100000, which,
If pro rated equally among the five,
give each of them an average of $780,

largest ever received at the tax Office
in single day from an equal number
of property owners. Last year these
same five estates were returned for
taxation to the county at a total valua-
ton of Sl,S00,SS7, which shows an in
crease within a year of $47,S72, or about

POTATOES and Potash.

Here are two hills of potatoes,
the difference in development of the
plants and also in the product of the
yield of tubers. A number of expert
mental plots were laid out Three
rows, each one rod long and 3-3 feet
apart, were planted with potatoes of
the White Star variety. Plot No. 5 re-
ceived no fertilizer Of any kind. Plot
No. 3 had an application of kainit and
acid phosphate. The illustration is
taken from the West Virginia Expert
mental Station, Bulletin No. 20.
Now for the results: The potatoes
produced by the three rows Of plot No.
5 weighed q pounds, and the plants
and the potatoes are represented on
the left side of the picture. The pota-
toes produced by the three rows of plot
No 3 weighed sos pounds, and the
plants and the potatoes are shown on
the right-hand side. The increased
yield due the use of kainit and acid
phosphate was reckoned to be at the
rate of 161 1-3 bushels per acre.

When hen is bound to set,

Dowsin' her in water till
She's connected with a chill.
Seems as though twas skursely right
Givin' her dreadful fright,
Tyin' rags around her tail,
Poundin' on an old tin pail,
Chasin' her around the yard.
Seems as though twas kind of hard
Bein' kicked and slammed and shooed
Cause she wants to raise a brood.

Jest cause natur' wants it's way.
While ago my neighbor, Penn,
Started Dustin up a hen;
Went to yank her off the nest,
Hen, though, made peck and jest
Grabbed his thumb nail good and stout
Like to yank the darned thing out.
Penn he twitched away and then
Tried agin to grab that hen,
But, by ginger, she had spunk
Cause she took and nipped a chunk
Big's bean right out his palm,
Swallered it, and cool and calm,
Histed up and yelled "Cah-dahn'
SOUNDED like she said "Hoorah!'
Wal, sir, when that hen done that
Penn, he bowed, took off his hat,
-Spunk jest suits him, you can bet,

the following little joke on Mrs. S1gs-

in Washington. Several Of the en-

that there were sprinkled around IN

very attractive looking women.

MONEY REWARDS OF SINGERS.

Not Overlarge When Expenses and
Preparations Are Considered.
After years Of hard, uphill struggle
and study singer may be recognized
as successful. What is her reward?
The season is short, a few weeks of
fall festivities, week or two Of
Christmas concerts, and a few weeks
OF spring festivals, with a sprinkling
of individual concerts between times,
make up the list of her opportunities.
When she obtains an engagement there
is much more preparation necessary than
rubbing up her knowledge of the work
to be given, and singing the rehearsal
often public-with the local chorus
the day or the Afternoon before the
performance. She must watch for
draughts; q cold would disable her
completely. She must be constantly
careful of the atmosphere she
breathes.
She receives in compensation two,
three or four thousand dollars, from
which must be deducted many ex-
penses There are probably not doz-
en- American concert ana OrauOr1O sing
ers who clear ten thousand dollars a
year from singing, including one thou
sand or fifteen hundred dollars they re-
ceive from churches or synagogues.
And the study and work they did at
the start was only beginning of study
and work they must do all their life
OF the rest, few make a considerable
amount of money by being invited to
wealthy private houses, singing for
people there and receiving checks the
next day for their kindness. The vast
majority Of the remainder exist on
twenty five and fifty dollar concert
work, or take to teaching, or drift into
comic opera, or in the end weary OF 1t
all and do something else.-Leslie's

Many men who have died poor and
who have ever been poor have been
great successes. Our Savior was 8
poor man, the poorest of the poor and
yet no life was ever such a success

judging success by wealth. A MAI

an absolute failure. That is, he mag
be rich and yet be hog. He is sue,

Grating Grapes.

Common cleft grating is best for
young grape rootings. 1t is simple,
easy and nearly always successful if
properly performed. Remove the soil
from the roofing and cut it low enough
to allow the soil to be mounded around
the point. Split with chisel, then in
sert a scion of equal diameter so that
both sides will knit. Cut the scion
bevels equal. Be careful to have both
sides coincide outside so that bark OF
both stock and scion is practically Of
same thickness.
