SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE.

A few years ago most men laughed
at the idea of applying science to
agriculture. The farmers laughter
was the loudest of all. But science,
like revolutions, never goes back
ward, says the Chicago Tribune.
There are still many farmers who
plant, reap, feed their cattle. and
let their implements stand out in the
sun and rain in the careless, thrift
less old way, but the agricultural
department, agricultural colleges,
and the agricultural press are rapid
iy diminishing their number. Science
is revolutionizlng the farming bust
ness as 1t has revolutionized almost
every other modern business.
There are 100000 acres of land
In the west whose alkali soil has here
tofore rendered them worthless. By
undertaking and flooding science
will make them cultivable. They will
then be worth 5000, 100000. The
fields In the United States which
have been abandoned because they
are worn out" have an aggregate
England states combined. The trou-
BILE with the soil is that 1t has been
exhausted of nitrogen. Science has
discovered that legumes-beans.
peas, arfalfa-will grow in these
fields, and that the culture, besides
being financially profitable, so en-
riches the soil with nitrogen that
other crops may aftefward be rails
ed. "Worn out" lands are, therefore.
being brought back into cultivation
by the simple expedient of growing
beans and peas upon them.
Science Is teaching the farmer how
TO combat successfully the diseases
that break out among his crops and
livestock. II is teaching him how, by
a process OF selection, to improve the
quality and quantity of his Grips.
The "old-fashioned" farmer is not
particular what kind OF corn or wheat
or cotton he sows. The scientific far
mer goes through his fields every
year and carefully selects the best
ears of corn or the seeds of the~bes
cotton, and saves them for next
years seed. The results, the old
fashioned farmer raises about the
same sort of crop year after year,
whereas the scientific farmer raises a
better crop every year. Scientists es-
innate that within nifty years the
yield of the principal crops of the
United States may be Increased so
per cent by seed selection alone.
.science is teaching the farmer to
adapt crop 10 soil. Cuban tobacco has
been successfully introduced In the
south. navel oranges in California,
rice In Louisiana and Texas. maca-
roni wheat In the west and north
west. dates in California and Arizo-
ma. The vegetable products We inn
port cost us 1874 100000 year
now. The recent progress Of scientific
agriculture indicates that We may In
dime raise at home a considerable
proportion of the products for which
this immense sum Is now sent
abroad.
Scientific agriculture has ceased TO
be a Joke. II has already been worth
many millions OF dollars 10 the peo-

well. we'll all go to HI togeth-
err, them" was the startling assertion
made by half drunk, maddened
'moocher'' with one leg, in the I'LL
nois Central baggage room early last
evening. as he waved bottle which
he said contained nitro-glycerine.
He had called for his crutch. and the
man who had just gone on duty didn' I
know anything about the crutch.
The baggage room was we'll filled
with drummers and others when they
man hopping in with only leg
for support and not having a cane.
He seemed able to jump fully ten
feet on that one leg.
IL seems that the hobo, who said
his name was James Lee, had been
hanging about the depot for several
hours begging nickles from every
body on the platform, and convert
ing them as fast as he got them into
whiskey.
About $3.50 o'clock he was pretty
well hooked up" as the saying is.
along on his way home, he kindly
advised the man that II wasn't right
to use the railroads platform as a
place to beg nickles to spend for
whiskey.
The insolent moocher called the
some OF which no one about the de-
pot had ever heard before. and then
swatted him in the side O: the head
with his crutch.
The baggageman didn't turn the
other side to get 1t treated likewise.
| but taking the mans crutch away
from him. hid it in the baggage-room
and sent for the patrol wagon, know
ing that the man couldn't escape far
without his crutch.
By the time the moocher had hop
ped to the baggage room Mr.. Flowers
had departed Through another door
and was on his way home. The
tramp demanded his crutch and said
he wanted it Immediately. Night
Baggageman Minzenheimer was on
duty and was not aware of what had
transpired out on the platform.
He told the sorry-looking infuriat-
ed stranger that he didn't know any
thing about the crutch and hadn't
seen 1t. Then the tramp pulled out
the bottle and made his spiel about
all "going to HI together"
In ten seconds after he got inside

with the exception of the bag
gageman, who. on account of the
enclosure used as an ONCE, couldn't
get out as quickly as the others. The
baggageman wasn't blown up. how
ever, as the tramp reconsidered and
decided he wouldn't take the trip
until he got a crutch, so he put the
bottle into his pocket.
A search finally revealed the
crutch and the man disappeared
down the track, but the patrol wag-
on arrived in a short time and when
he showed up again shortly after
wards, he was arrested and ,locked
up.
The bottle. was found at police sta
ton to contain some kind of medi-
cine.
This morning when arraigned In
court II was decided to let the pris-
oner go. He told the court that his
name was II. G.. Austin. alias Lee,
and as he was crippled and could not
be worked the authorities decided
the best thing to do with him was to
turn him loose and give him hours
to leave.

the southern portion of the island are
