Japanese Horses.

The japanese, says Mr.. Fraser. in his
book, "a Modern Campaign" are fully
conscious of the inferiority of their
horses. which though extremely SER
yiceable as transport animals-because
their loads can be adjusted to their ca
pacity-are woefully lacking in the
weight and power essential in artil-
lery and cavalry horses. Promiscuous
breeding is responsible chiefly for the
poor type of horse found in Japan, to-
gether with the absence of suitable
grass feeding The latter difficulty is
not easy to overcome, but the former
has been taken in hand in fashion
that will speedily effect Improvement
A law has recently been passed III ia
pan which compels the gelding OF
every two-year-old stallion, except
such as the veterinary authorities W-
termine are of quality sufficient to
warrant their being devoted to sfud
purposes. The japanese mares, though
light are by no means devoid OF STAN
ina but imported horses will play the
more important part IN the conteni'
plated improvement of the breed.

A Pet Gael.

Up the Shat-el-Arab River, lying OH
Bussorah, whence Sindbad the Sailor
set forth on his famous Journeys, we
had given us, as a great table delicacy,
young gael. The little fellow was
not more than two feet in height; MS
eyes were large and brown and lus-
trous; his little horns and boots We're
as black and shining as ebony; MS
fawn-colored skin was like SILK; ms
movements were the embodiment Oh
grace. No one had the heart to con-
template killing such beautiful crea-
ture; SO when some men came art TO
beg that they might have him to care
for he was at once given to them.

suited to him, but the sailors chose II

Moro Leak ; Than One.

The scandal about the leak in the
cotton reports has drawn attention to
the Department OF Agriculture which
poses as the special frieRd of the far
mer. We agree with the Rural New
Yorker that the chief object of the
department seems to be to get money
out of Congress for making new bu-
reaus and new places for favorites,
whose main work seems to be to claim
everything in sight rs the work of
the department or some one of its
bureaus. A department store never
advertised itself as the Department of
Agriculture has been advertised. The
New York Times publishes long dis
patch from Portland, Oregon, in re-
gard to the wonderful work of the
Bureau of Soils. This is evidently in
spired if not wholly written, by some
one of the Bureau officers attending
the show there The writer says that
When this bureau is done mapping
the soils, one intending to buy a farm
can write to the Department of ASri-
culture and get q detailed map of the
district, and by consulting this and
reading what the soil surveyors saw
men doing there, he can learn the
nature of the land and what it is best
adapted to- The fact is. that the soil

Bull Glover.

We have had a number of inquiries
in regard to this plant. Burr clover
belongs to the same genus of plants
as alfalfa It's botanical name is Medi-
cago Denticulata, while alfalfa is Med
icago Saliva. The burr-like seeds carry
the bacteria with them and completely
inoculate the soil either for this plant
or for alfalfa, and a preceding crop
of the burr clover will thoroughly in
oculate the soil for alfalfa to follow
and will do it far better than any arti-
fetal culture. We do not know of any
experiments with burr clover north of
North Carolina, and it is possible that
it may not be hardy enough to stand
the winters North. But as its greatest
value is in the Improvement of the
soil, and it has little value as a for
age plant it is we'll worth sowing
where one proposes to sow alfalfa in
the spring, for if soWn in the early
fall it will make some growth before
cold weather, and if it does not sur
vive the winter the incubation will
be all the same for the alfalfa to fol-
low. Sow the seed thickly on we'll pre-
pared land the last of August, and if
you want to put alfalfa on that land
in the spring you need not worry
about any further incubation.

NEGRO MURDERER CAPTURED.
Had Successfully iGvaded Vigilance OF
the Law Since 1889.

His friends in Salisbury, where he
has lived during the past seven years,
are wondering what has become OF
Robert Smith, a negro, who dlsap-
peared last week, saying he was go
ing to visit his relatives in Glover, 5.
G. The story of what became of him,
briefly, IS this:
Smith was arrested at Glover last
Saturday, on the charge of murder,
his victim being Chambers Byars, col
ored. The killing occurred at frolic.
about six miles west of Yorkville, S
c., in October. 1889. According to
smiths story, after the killing he went
to Shelby, n. c., where he remained
for a time and thence to Newport
News, Va, and remained there for
several years From Newport News
he went to Cabarrus county, North
Carolina, and after living in the couu-
ty several years went to Salisbury,
where he has been living for the past
seven years. His mother and two
brothers live in the neighborhood
where the killing occurred, and he has
visited them several times during the
past sixteen years, the last occasion
being about four years ago.
