Japan Raising Horses.

In getting a foundation for horse

character Of the horses raised In each,
and 1t is distinct compliment to the
breeders of the United States that this

draw on for foundation stock. 1t may

Give Plants a Drenching.

When one waters plants 1t is best to
make the soil really wet, and then wait
till they need water again before CIV
ing them more. An old gardener says
that the little squirts every few min
utes are worse than useless. They wet
only a small part of the soil and the
remainder often becomes actually dry.
When the pot will make ringing sound
if struck with knuckle is the time to
soak them. Then do 1t thoroughly and
stop. Why, you drink only when you
are thirsty, not all the time.

RAILROAD DIVIDENDS.

l.. ]. Bryant, cashier of the Bank of
Arlington, KY, writes to the Manufac-
turers' Record as follows: How
many railroad corporations pay in ex
cess of per cent dividend on the in
vestment? Great sums are earned an
nually, it is true, often into the mil
lions of dollars, but when fixed and
operating charges are paid the net
earnings are often small, and the
country at large is the beneficiary of
these enormous earnings in the way
of interest on bonds, wages paid to
employees, ETC., and 1t flows right back
into the channels of trade.
"The relations of the railroads and
the farmer, manufacturer and mer-
chant are so closely interviewer that
the success of one depends largely
upon the success of the other; they
have gone hand in hand for decades in
civilizing and in developing the re
sources of the country. The better
service the railroad can maintain for
the handling of the various commodi-
ties of the different sections of the
country and the manufactured prod
uct, the greater will be the success
of the farmer and manufacturer;
while on the other hand, II the ave-
nues of transportation are blocked by
injecting into them condition over
which their managers have no control,
to that extent the business commu
nifty will wane; the farmer, the manu-
facturer and the merchant will fee.
the consequence of 1t, and soon it will
pervade every nook and hamlet of the
country.
"The same underlying principles OBJ
tain in railroad business as do in al.
other business; when the earnings are
decreased without a correspond n.
curtailment of expenses the business
is imperiled, and to meet this defici,
in earnings the high class service
must be impaired, and when this is
done the shipper suffers and the entire
country sustains pecuniary loss"

Says the Korea Daily News: "Once
upon time Korea had a man-of-war.
She was collier, painted white. She
was, at the outbreak of hostilities
taken by the Japanese as a collier
again. We have reason to believe
that she is at the present time resi-

When the British invaded Tibet
under Col. Younghusband, the dalai

little has been heard from him since.
The Pekin Times says, however: "a

where he desires to stop for the win

Do SIX 6 Rain Diamonds?

Do the heavens rain diamonds? Bi
zarre as may appear Meydenbauer's
theory that the diamond is of cosmic
origin and has fallen as a meteorite at
later periods of the earths formation,
there are evidences thereof, the most
striking confirmation coming from
Arizona. Here on a broad plain, over
an area of about five miles in diane
ter, had been scattered one or two
thousand masses of metallic iron, the
fragments varying in weight from half
ton to a fraction of an ounce. There
was little doubt these masses formed
part of a meteoric shower, although
no record existed as to when the fall
took place. Curiously enough, near
the center where most of the meteor
ties had been found, was a crater with
raised edges three-quarters Of mile
in diameter and about 600 feet deep,
bearing exactly the appearance which
would be produced had mighty mass
of iron struck the ground and buried
itself deep under the surface. An an
cient meteorological in cutting a Sec
ton of this meteorite found the tools
were injured by something vastly
harder than metallic iron, and soon
announced that he had found black
and transparent diamonds. Since this
revelation diamond hunting in meteor
ties has occupied chemists all over the
world, some of whom, like Sir William
Brookes, nave made successful find.
So look out for meteors. They may
contain diamonds.

The Things We Eat.

Gregory E. Owens, food inspector
of Manchester, had an odd experience
the other day.
He was examining the meat in a
small butcher shop on a back street
The greater part of the meat was
fairly good, but there was one lot of
pork and beef that was rather ques.
tionable.
The butcher stood outside with a
customer. The inspector called him
in.
Look here" he said, what is your
opinion of this meat here?"
The butcher looked it over
81 had forgotten all about that" he
said. ut is pretty old stock"
well, what is your opinion of it?"
"My opinion" said the butcher
slowly 'is that it is unfit for human
food; but it might do for sausage."-

CuerO a Cotton Center.

To give some idea of the impor-
lance of Cuero as a cotton center,
so far this season the wagon trade,
representing the number of bales
sold in Cuero by farmers, runs
fully 1900 bales. OF this amount
600 bales were marketed during the
latter part of July and 1900 oales
during the II business days in
August to date, or an average of
100 bales per day. The prices
paid in Cuero are always the
highest the market will permit.
This is a good showing this early
in the season. The first Saturday
of this month was a record break
ing day for Cuero, $50 bales from
wagons being sold. Cuero claims
to be the best cotton market in
this part of Texas and stands ready
to demonstrate to any doubter.-
