New York World Thrice Week
Edition-Read Wherever Eng
1ish Language is Spoken.

The Thrice-a-Week World hopes
to be in 1906 better paper than it
has ever been before, and it has made
its arrangements. accordingly. Its
news service covers the entire globe,
and it reports everything fully and
promptly and accurately. 1t is the
only paper, not a daily, which is as
good as a daily, and which will keep
you as completely informed of what
is happening throughout the world.
The Thrice-a-Week World is fair
in its political reports. You can get
the truth from it's columns, whether
you are Republican or Democrat, and
that is what you want.
A special feature Of the Thrice-a-
Week World has always been its Sc
rial fiction. 1t publishes novels by
the best authors in the world, novels
which in book form sell for $3.50 a
piece, and its high standard in this
respect will be maintained in the flu
ture as in the past.
The Thrice-a-Week Worlds regu-
lar subscription price Is only $I.oo
per year, and this pays for Is6 pages.
We offer this unequaled newspaper
and the Times together for one year
for $2.so. The regular subscription
price of the two papers is $500.

and mud on the towns and cities in
that region. No lava was elected ia
this eruption. nor. in fact, during any
other erption within its historic times
until the year 1866 In the FIRST his
torie eruption Ponpeii was buried
under thickness of twenty feet Of
ashes and Herculaneum was covered
by torrent of mud. The elder Piiny
who commanded the Roman feet at
Misenum, sailed to help the distract
ed inhabitants. He landed near the
base of the mountain and was him
self suffocated by the vapors emanat-
ing from the volvano. The younger
Pliny gives graphic account Of the
erption in two letters to Tacitus.
Since the year 20 there have been
a number of eruptions. One occurred
in the year 2o3 and another in the
year Az, during which the ashes were
carried as far as Constantinople.
Other outbursts were noted in the
years 5I2, OBS, o83 and 1866. In 1851
the villages at the base of Vesuvius
were covered with lava and torrents
of boiling water. During an eruption
IN 1870 showers of ashes, scoriae and
stones were thrown TO great height
and streams of lava poured down the
sides of the cone. In 1904 another
violent outburst took place which de-
stroyed much of the towns of Tore
del Greece, and i'll the eruption of
1922 the mountain is said to have lost
500 feet of its height, but most of
this loss has been made up by sub
sequent eruptions. Previous to this
of 1922 the summit is said
to have been a rough and rocky plain,
covered with blocks of lava and SEQ
riae and rent by numerous assures,
from which issued clouds of smoke;
it was then altered to a vast elliptical
chasm three miles in circumference
and about 1000 feet deep.
Another remarkable eruption took
place in May, 1855, and series of
began in 1865. More recent
have occurred in 1872, 1873,
1880 and 1885. The present height
of Vesuvius is little over 1000 feet
and that of Somma 1890. The lavas
Of Vesuvius belong to the acid type,
and among the gases hydrochloric
acid has been detected in considera-
Die quantities. Ferric chloride often
forms a yellow crust on the lava, es-
pecially in the vicinity of fumaroles.
A railroad runs from the cinder cone
base to the summit near the crater.

ton without any resolution, because
he is independent with full corn
crib, large hay stacks, half a dozen
hogs, two milk cows, and a yard full
of poultry; he is master of the sit
uation, and the cotton bear will not
seem ugly or dangerous to this kind
of farmer.
In deciding what forage and grain
crops farmer should grow, he ought
to consider, first, the crop best suited
to his soil and climate; second, the
crop best suited to his particular
business; third, the crop which will
produce the most nutritious feed ana
the largest yield per acre, and the
the soil or be the least injurious to
knows, or ought to learn by expe-
riment as soon as possible, what
plants are adapted to his soil and
climate; when he has settled that
question, then the next thing of great
importance is the careful selection of
seed. No breeder of fine hogs OF
chickens or horses would think of
using scrubs for breeders. No man
should plant i'll shaped grains of
corn from an ill-shaped ear and ex-
pect ideal ears of corn. The same
principle applies in the breeding OF
plants that governs in the breeding
of stock. Corn and cotton seed Sc
lected from ideal stalks, the best
bolts and ears would increase the
yield from ten to fifty per cent. In
corn this applies to most of the
Southern States. Nature has been
very kind and given US bountiful
supply of plants of various kinds
~1sn1a
and soils, and each one must study
and experiment for himself, or reao
the most trustworthy farm journals
of his locality. In the growth of all
crops it should be remembered that
rotation is essential in the preserva-
ton of the fertility of the soil. The
virgin soil is supplied with humus
from decaying animal and vegetable
matter. The growing of one par
ticular crop, such as corn, cotton, oats
or wheat on land for long success
sion of years extracts that humus
so important to all crops, and other
elements, too, that ordinary or poor
crops will be gathered from such
lands. They can be brought back to
high state of fertility by the use of
cow peas, goober peas and clover,
this is essentially the poor mans
fertilizer, and is very fine also tor
the rich man. A rotation of crops,
the use of COW peas and COOLERS with
clover will. if used on good land, hold
it in high state. of fertility, which
is much better than to let it run
down and then have to rebuild it.
We should strive tomake the best
use Of what we have at our COM
mand and study to improve. If q
man is in the dairy business he should
soon determine what foods produce
the most milk and butter. If he is
raising hogs. he should not guess af
the best feed, but settle that by prac-
ticai tests, or get the opinion or re-
sulta from some reliable person who
IS posted on that particular srbject
In conclusion, the patriotic, thought.
