JAPANESE LOVE OF PARENTS.
Story of the Devotion Of Sons to a
Widowed Mother.

We are told, says the New York
Press, that the Chinese and Japanese
reverence old age, and are not sur
passed even by the Jews in devotion
to parents. In Mecco, three sons,
unable by their united efforts to
maintain their widowed mother,
formed singular resolution. The
Cubo offered a large reward for the
capture of a robber, and the boys
agreed that one of them should feign
to be the criminal and allow himself
to be delivered over to justice by the
other two, and would claim the re-
ward and hand it to their mother.
The lot fell to the youngest, who ac
cordingly was cast into prison for
execution, while the reward was July
paid to his alleged captors. At part
ing the three brothers embraced each
other affectionately, accidentally OBJ
serving which the judge, amazed, Or

ers of the reward.

The Rundown Farm.

The kun-DOWn fdIIn.
So-called worn out farms may be
built up and made productive, but the
man who must support his family and
perhaps pay interest on a mortgage
from such a farm, while he is doing
it, has long road to travel. There
are, however, many such, no doubt,
among the readers of the Southern
Fruit Grower and some are succeed
ing.
The use of commercial fertilizer is
increasing all the time, and if prop
eriy applied in connection with rota-
ton of crops, will assist to no little
degree in increasing the productive
ness of the land.
The two principal elements requir-
ed in growing fruit are potash and
nitrogen. Where wood ashes are
available the cheapest possible pot
ash is at hand In the commercial
fertilizers the potash is rated at about
five cents per pound. AS there is
about 100 pounds of potash in ION
Of unbleac;,cd wood ashes, they are
worth about S. per ton for potash
alone. There is also considerable
value in phospheric acid and lime. In
this part of the country, wood ashes
can be had in many places for the
hauling. In no case to my knowledge
is one required. to pay to exceed
twenty-five cents per load. Yet
many farmers are buying fertilizers
at from SIS to S25 per ton to get
largely the same elements they could
get at Is cents per load.
AS for nitrogen, the cheapest way
to apply that is to grow crop OF
two of cowpeas, then follow with
some other crop. The COW peas
gather nitrogen from the air and
store it in its roots. 1t then be-
comes available to the crops follow
ing for several years. By using
unbleached wood ashes freely and
growing COW peas or the same land,
it soon becomes we'll supplied with
the principal food elements necessary
to grow fruit successfully. and il.
most localities in the central south
can be done much more cheaply than
by means of commercial fertilizers
After ashes have been exposed to
wind, rain and sun for time tiles
lose much Of their fertilizing value,
yet may be used with good results.
The value of barnyard manure is
quite generally known. Yet many
farmers leave it in piles till it be-
comes almost worthless. To- get
the best results, manure should BE-
applied to the soil as soon a posi-
bic.
Plenty of straw should be 1sed
about the barn to absorb the liquid:
as the liquid manure is richer than
the solid.
AS nitrogen is the largest valuable
element present in barn manure, it
is apparent that it must be we'll cared
for, as nitrogen escapes irto the air
readily when the manure pile is heat
ed. When plenty of manure and
wood ashes are available it is the
most satisfactory fertilizer.

A number of the leaders or the
house are already in Washington
Speaker Cannon is expected there
next week, and as soon as he arrives
there will be a conference OF the
house leaders over the program OF
legislation for the short session. A
large element of the house favors
early and energetic action on that
plank in the republican platform
which ..dec4ared that the suppression
of the, suffrage in the southern states
demanded prompt remedy, and the
reemdy referred to is Of course, the
decrease. of representation in the
house so that the southern states
shall be represented only in proper
ton to the suffrage This question
has been before the house for several
years. The most prominent champion
Of the proposition to reduce the
southern representation is Represen-
tative Crumpacker, OF Indiana. There
is every reason to believe that Mr..
Crumpacker and his followers will be
as active this year as they have been
in the past It is quite probable
that the house leaders will attempt
to postpone any action on the Crum-
packer resolution at the coming ses-
sion, on the plea that the session IS
SO short that there will be little time
for anything more than the enact
ment of the laws But even if action
is in this way postponed, it will be
impossible to suppress it at the next
congress- III many states the repub-
hcan campaign orators made the
suppression of the negro vote in the
south one of the principal features
of their addresses, and Speaker Can
non himself in his tour Of the north
referred very frequently and very
strongly to this subject.
The question is one which must
needs come up after every national
election, one which the bitterer re-
publicans seem unwilling to ever let
drop, but there is every reason to be-
lieve that the effort will not succeed.
Congressman Mudd, who by virtue
of his long service as representa-
tive from a southern state is looked
up as a leader of the southern ete-
ment, has always been one of the
strongest opponents to such an ac.
ton. and will this year lead strong
opposition. Also there are many in
fuentia1 republicans in the house
who are opposed to the reduction in
the south's representation. 1t is also
believed at Washington that even
if the resolution could be passed
through the house it would most ce,-
tainly be killed in the senate.

landing was not made public. The
Japanese fleet has been REINFORCED and
