evident truth" The definition applies
10 tbe following from the Southern
Cmiyator;
THE first requisite Of good farm
ing is good soil.
0--The best way to procure ana re-
tain n rich soil is by deep and fine
tilloge. No particle should be larger
than pea.
9-Another most important factor in
cood farming is thorough preparation
Of soil before planting 1t can not be
done after the seed are in the ground
A-Fineness and depth constitute the
mechanical condition Of the soil; and |
this is of far greater Importance than
its natural character, whether OF clay'
of loan, or Of sand
b-Rotation is the only method that
,,iu make both the land and the owner
rich, 80,
G-Don't cultivate to kill weeds and
grass. but to work the land so thor
ouphly that weeds and grass can not
grow. .,.
7-Farming is an art, and he who
rroduces the most from a given area
Is the best artisan.
s~Wbpe fixed rules Of agriculture
can not always be laid down, certain
nrinclples are fixed and remain the
same forever. Practices are condi-
t,onal MS the time Of planting and
crons TO be planted; but preparation
Of the soil and the method of planting
ora nrlpclples and are applicable to all
localities. 49,.
'9-Certain principles must be thor
ourhly understood; the -four most M
nortant ones are-enriching the SOIL
deem tIllage, manuring and rotation.
10-Tbe successful farmer is one VINO
adds wealth to his pocket, and wealth.
to his soil at the same time.
11-Liye stock farming, dairylhg
grain. hay or cotton farming must al
be followed by such system that n'
matter how much one sells, the soil j
not robbed of more than is returned
to 1t. 49,.
12-Vegetable matter Is the best form
IN vhich manure can be applied to tn
}. soil. -,.,,
bone acre well fixed and rlghtl'
morured Is better than four III pre-
pared, -
14-Plants do not live upon the sol
hut they live in II, and can only groN
unon the soluble food it contains
15-The feeding roots Of any plai
are delicate white tibers, so shall u
rarely to be seen with the naReu eS
hence tbe Importance Of keeping u
soil fine and moist .,.. -,
16-Killing grass is not the mann o.
iect of cultivation; it is the conserNii
Of moisture, by preventing capillary n
traction from wasting it upon the alr
17-"There is more in the man ms
there is in the land" The spirit OIL u
man working upon the land can woi
wonderful changes. q,
1S-Heat, water and manure Is u
trinity it takes to make Vege'au'
grow. A.. g..
1e-The farmer should drive the lo'
raised on his place to market on to'
In other words, he should teeu 10 cav
and sell the cattle, retaining al
manure for his soil.
oo-put all the money you clear ba
into the soil until you get up 10

The most or our southern Sollh-eSpe-
clally those Of clayey formation can
be handled better in the winter than in
the spring. It gives the air and frost
longer time to work on the particles;
in other words, there is longer time

| Sandy soils and those that easily leach
by the spring and winter rains, per-
hans can better be plowed in the

spring and planting is never materially
delayed. When spring comes, and the
frost is gone and the soil is dry, then

RAILROADS WORRIED.
Rate War Has Been Started Between
Chicago and New York.

New York, July 25.-Railroad Off
cials here express considerable concern
over the passenger rate war which is
now in progress between Chicago-New
York lines. Several of the roads al
ready have put into effect rate of
SIG first class from Chicago to New
York. One of the longer routes is
charging only $14, and further reduc-
tions are threatened.
The trouble originated in demands
made by the Michigan Central for a
differential. This demand was con-
sidered by three arbitration commits
sioners a short time ago and was
allowed with certain limitations. The
Erie and the Grand Trunk, however,
declined to accept the arbitration as
final. These two roads insisted that
the Michigan Central had no right to
claim a differential rate on through
business in which the New York Cen
tral shared. The Erie interests de-
clare that they would not object to
allowing a differential to the Michigan
Central on its own lines, but beyond
that point they will concede nothing.
AS a result of the decision of the
arbitrators the Michigan Central put
in a differential rate of SIS first class
passenger fare from Chicago to New
York. This reduction was promptly
met by three other lines, and it is in
timated that a fiat rate of $40 may
soon be given.

City Railway Company Pleased With
Innes Engagement.

Because they have made handsome
profit out of the Innes engagement the
Street Railway company management
contemplates bringing other attractions
of like character to Vinewood.
Innes played on a percentage basis
of the number of passengers carried to
the park, receiving half the Vinewood
fare. The percentage netted him over
s., 800. which was little less than half
of the amount of money which the
street car company made.
The company hauled out close to 3d.
600 people to Vinewood during the week,
and it costs the company about cents
for each person, the fare being twenty
cents The Street Railway company
made a nice profit out of the passengers
not to speak of the great amount of
money that the various concessions
turned in. Through a tumble in the
figures the management gives out the
statement that they lost on the deal. A
recaIculation will probably be made
There is one thing painfully evident
the company has not the facilities to
handle as large crowds as attended the
Innes band concerts. Many more =ould
have gone to the park had not the trip
been attended by so much physical dis
comfort. On one occasion people who
gathered at the transfer station wcNe
compelled to go home because they
could not get cars to go to the park.
The company did as well as it could
with the facilities but these were woe
fully lacking.
The talk about losing money on the
Innes engagement sounds like, a joke.

LIVED IN A TRUNK.
Six Year Old Waif Subsisted on Scraps
From Garbage Cans.

New York, July 25.-An unusual
case of poverty and neglect has been
uncovered by policeman on duty in
Tenth avenue. The bluecoat rescued
six-year-old John Mulqueen after the
lad had made his home for two
months in trunk and subsisted large
ly on scraps snatched from garbage
cans. The little fellow was timid as a
bird after his pitiful struggle with the
world.
Mrs. Mulqueen died six months ago
and the boys father disappeared, leav-
ing John in care of a neighbor. The
building where the latter lived was
condemned two months ago and she
moved away leaving the child behind.
He sought out the house where his
mother died and found an old trunk in
the alley in which he formerly had
played.
Neighbors saw the youngster crawl
ing in and out but he fled when they
approached, so they placed food near
the trunk and the boy ate it.
The story finally reached the police
and the young outcast was found nest
ling in a pile of old clothing and
broken toys which he had gathered in
the alleys.
