BoIlworm Injury to Cotton.

1t Is concluded by one of the investi-
gators of bollworm injuries that Il
satisfactory crop of cotton may be
grown during years Of severe bollworm
injury. This requires, for best results,
the adoption of all methods useful in
the production of an early crop, and Is
based on the fact that cotton IS not
attacked In force by bollwOrms until
the corn In surrounding fields begins to
harden, which III general Is about the
lst Of August.
In the cultural system, by which
profitable crops of cotton may be
grown in spite Of the presence Of the
bollworm, the following procedures are
important; First, thorough plowing
OF the land during the fall or winter
months to destroy as many as possible
Of the hibernating pupae in the soil;
second, the use of seed of early fruit
ing varieties OF cotton; third, the use of
fertilizers to hasten and Increase the
growth Of plants and the formation of
fruit fourth, planting at the first prac-
ttcable date in the spring; fifth, early
and frequent cultivation.

Pleasant Grove, April 30.-As l see no

our ingenious people are doing. They

People of this community are about all
done planting cotton seed. w. w. Mar

Martin is hustler.
Spring time is here and it will pay to

Allen Lewis, who has been suffering
with rheumatism, we are glad to say, is
able to walk about The good neighbors
have met and planted his cotton crop.
j. A. Harbert, who got his shoulder
hurt some time ago, is able to work.

We hope for him a speedy recovery.

Starved Dogs Eat Human 5odies.

San Francisco, April 3O.-One Of the
gruesome scenes that has followed the
fire was that witnessed on Telegraph and
Russian hills and along the entire North
beach front of the city this morning,
when scores of hslf-starved dogs were
found eating human bodies. The ami
mails were discovered gnawing aud tear
ing at the corpses half buried in the
ruins. Where only leg or an arm pro.
truded the dogs were digging for the
rest of the body. Men who had been
sent into the ruins of homes to look for
what little property that might have es-
oaped the flames, came upon this sicken-
ing condition and reported it to the naval
officers in command of the water front
military districts.
In response to their appeal that some.
thing be done, bluejackets were detailed
to cover the sections designated, and kill
all dogs found in these vicinities. All
morning firearm reports could be heard
on the hill and along the beach, and the
dogs were killed. Men were pressed
into service, either to bury the carcasses
of the dogs or throw them into the bay.
In few places some outgoing fires were
found, and then it was possible to Gre
mate the animals. 1t was not thought
there were many dead in the ruins of
Telegraph and Russian hills until dogs
were found there digging for the bodies.
When the dogs have all been run down
and slain a further search will be made
of those sections to recover the bodies
and bury them as soon as possible.

FALL SOvN SPINACH.
Il Furnishes the Groons of tho EARLY

Il Furnishes the Groons Of tho EARLY
Spring Market.
The spinach which comes into mar
ket early In the season is from seed
sown the fall before, so that the plants
become from one-half to two-thirds
grown before winter. Like other leaf
crops 1t requires rich soil, one that
contains a large amount OF available
plant food. The original type Of plant
had few basal leaves and quickly sent
up n seed stalk, BY selection and high
culture these few leaves have been de-
veloped and fattened until they seem
capable Of unlimited expansion when
the supply Of available food Is kept
up. But when grown on poor soil.
and sometimes even OH soils Of medi-
um fertility, 1t quickly strikes back to
the old type Of growth.
In New England the fall planting
should be made from Aug. Is to Sept.
1. Growers south Of New England
can make their paintings from Sept 1
% Is. Spinach Is planted in drills
twelve to fourteen inches apart, eight
to ten pounds Of seed being required
for an acre. Some think 1t almost i'm
possible to obtain good stand Of
plants at this fall sowing. The soil Is
sometimes very dry in the latter part
Of the summer, and II the seed Is Gov
cred loosely with dry earth 1t fails to
germinate. But there are ways to
mitigate these conditions Walking
upon the rows after sowing and press
ing the soil down with the feet or
turning the seed drill up on the wheel
and running over the rows second
time will generally give the desired
results. The seed should be sown
thckly. however, and thinning may
be made in October or November. In
this way from fifty to seventy-five bar
rels may be harvested from IN acre in
the fall.
Where the temperature gets below
zero during parts of the winter the
spinach crop needs protection. Leaves
may be used as covering In place OF
straw or hay II put on just before or
during a snowstorm. In sheltered To-
cations farther south the covering is
omitted, but where the weather Is Sc
we're the quality Of the crop will be
higher If some protection is given.
Spinach should be harvested early in
the spring to make room for other
crops-early cabbage, for instance.
Prickly seeded spinach was once large
ly used for fall planting because Of its
hardness. but now the round leaf"
and "thlck leaf" types, which give
large yields and are easier to plant
are more grown.-M a. Blake in Coun-

The earthquake gave rise to great
assures in the ground and TO the APP
pearance of new hillocks and de
pressions. A volcano near Summer
vile burst into action, casting up
blue mud and stone; and it was at
least a curious coincidence that with
the first shock at Charleston long
quiesent geyser in the Yellowstone
Park began to spout vehemently.
In this way again the connection be-
tween earthquakes and volcanic dis
turbances seems to hold good.
EARTHQUAKE AT LISBON.
The worst earthquake in many re
spects in all history WAS that at Lis
bon, Portugal, on All Saints day,
November /, 1855. The total loss
of life by this catastrophe is esti-
mated at 10000 persons, of whom
about 10000 perished at once. A
great tidal wave, so feet in height,
swept over portions of the city and
added greatly 20 the horror Of tbs
occasion, cutting off attempts to es-
cape by sea. Fire also added it's
horrors to this, the worst calamity of
its kind on record. In this same
earthquake one town of 1000 people
dropped into cavern and the cavern
closed, blotting it absolutely off the
face of the earth.
CHRISTIANITY AND EARTHQUAKES.
In the history of earthquakes
nothing is more remarkable than the
fewness of those recorded beforeithe
beginning of the Christian Era in
comparison with those which have
been registered since that time. So
striking is the contrast as almost to
justify our giving physical inter
probation to the prophecy of our
Saviour that one of the signs of the
establishment of His religion in the
world would be the occurrence of
earthquakes in divers places. This
theory is held by many sects
which insist that the mellenium is
now at hand. 1t ia at least re-
markable fact in so far as the knowl-
edge of the civilized world is con-
cerned, earthquakes begah to be
more frequent from the beginning of
the progress of Christianity.
1t may be that the mention of the
earthquakes as among the signs of
the approaching establishment of
their religion may have directed the
attention of the early Christians
more particularly to those phe-
nomena, and to have multiplied the
number of recorded instances. Yet
even making due allowance for the
extreme negligence of the ancients
in registering natural events, it seems
hard to believe that, had there been
as many great earthquakes before
the Christian era as there have been
since its commencement, 80 few of
them should have been recorded or
even transmitted by tradition. 1t is
to be borne in mind, however, that
before the birth of Christ there was
but a small portion of the habitable
surface of the globe known to those
who were capable of handing down
a record of natural events.
