DIV Farming Rrenks Rccord.

From the Stockton Journal.
Colonel s, Il. Hovey has Just ro-
turned from a trip over the ANA
rillo branch OF the Rock Island and
has n gratifying report to make
about the conditions generally up
that way, Thore have been plenty Of
rains grass lsgood, cattle are fat, or
they are getting fat; the rains have
fallen In such n way and at such
times until they are safe, or nearly
80, there being but few exceptions
to that first statement.
While unon the trip Col. Hovoy
was told by an Amarillo bonker Of a
wheat crop grown a few miles from
that place that tsheshed out a yield
OF 500 bushels OF good grain
from twelve acres Of land, a yield
OF 41.66 bushels TO the acre. The
land was carefully prepared before
planting and tho style of farming
pursued was the intensive or dry
irrigation" farming, as some call Il.
IL Is not improbable that the work
done In the twelve acres bears a
fair or even large proportion to that
done on a neighborlng wheat farm,
where the yield was about the same
and yet the PROPRIETOR had IN cron
nearly fifty acres to got the same

One Of the first explorers of the in.

Of Livingstone, to whom he rendered
important aid. In his biography the
following story is given from one OF
his African letters:
An incident highly creditable to KAT

their custom, were working In the

A young man. standing by the edge

TO HONOR

Movement at Length Started to
Mark His Long Neglected Grave.
a movement has Just been aunched
to erect a suitable over the
grave of John C. Fremont, the famous
soldier, explorer and first presidential
candidate on the Republican ticket.
During the Republican celebration Of
the party's golden jubilee in Philadel-
phia steps were taken to erect a me-
mortal to him on the lonely spot where
his remains rest on the Hudson River.
The grave of the pathfinder" is IN
Rockland Cemetery, OF the top Of the
Palisades. opposite Dobb's Ferry. 1t Is
unmarked save by a small iron Grand
Army of the Republic star and a couple
Of small fa~5. The location is an ideal
one for a monument. 1t is almost on
the brink Of the Palisades, where a
monument Of ever ordinary height
could be seen for miles up and down
the Hudson. 1t is 500 feet above the
river, so that the memorial stone only
fifty feet high would tower above the
water as far as does the Washington
monument above the streets Of the ma
tional capital.
The movement to honor Fremont's
grave should appeal as much to the
scientist as to the soldier. In the SER
vice Of the government he made three
expeditions through the wilderness
west of the Mississippi and contributed
more than any other man in his day to
obtaining a knowledge Of its mountains,

The Rcfreshment of Change.

A charming old lady who was social
ly inclined, but who was kept rather
closely at home by the pressure Of
many cares, used sometimes to ex-
claim. 81 do just love to drink out Of
somebody else's teacups!"
A fitting pendant to this agreeable
anecdote is another Of a little girl
whose supper Invariably consisted Of
bread and butter, milk and apple sauce

quently complained.
One day she was asked out to sup
per at a neighbours. At a late hour the
hostess found that no apple sauce had
been prepared for the little guest, 80
she sent one of the maids to the child's
home for a supply.
The little girl. on returning to her
mother, was enthusiastic about the de-
lightful visit, and particularly about
the beautiful supper" when h had
been allowed to pour milk and cream
for herself from the daintiest little
pitchers.
And oh, such good apple sauce, man.

FOND OF
Elephants Delight In Dress and Cor
Eeous TrappinEs.

Elephants Delight in Dress and Cor
Eeous TrnppinEs.
Elephants are passionately fond of
fnery and delight to see themselves
decked out with gorgeous trappings.
The native princes of India are very
particular in choosing their state ele-
plants and will give fabulous sums for
an animal that exactly meets the some
what fanciful standards they have
erected.
For these they have made cloths OF
silk so heavily embroidered with gold
that two men are hardly able, to lift
them. .. aa.
An amusing instance of elephantine
pride Is narrated: The elephant which
usually led the state procession Of a
rajah being i'll, the magnificent trap
pings were placed on one which had
up to that time occupied only a subor-
dinate place.
The animal, delighted with it's inery,
showed its glee by so many little
squeaks and kicks of pleasure that gen.
eral attention was attracted to 1t.
Not long after another state process
sion was formed, and the previous
wearer Of the gold cloths, being re-
stored to health, took his accustomed
place and trappings, when the low de-
graded beast, imagining, perhaps, that
he was being defrauded of his promo
ton. was with great difficulty restrain
ed from attacking the leader Of the
parade,

The modern methods Of agriculture
teach that a rotation Of crops is essen
tial for the best results, and especially
is it necessary in order to keep up soil
fertility. A correspondent asks How
can you recommend the rotation of
crops so strongly when experiment sta
tons grow corn year after year on the
same field?" Our reader evidently re-
fers to the work Of the New Jersey ex-
pertinent station, but either forgets to
refer to their methods, or else is not
familiar with them. On this famous
farm the soil is kept in the highest
state Of fertility by proper methods,
and while 1t is true that corn follows
corn, 1t Is only because clover Is grown
as well, the plan being to SOW crimson
clover at the last cultivation of the
corn, which is used as green forage in
the spring, and the core stubble is
plowed under and the same method
again followed. If it were not for the
high fertility of the crimson clover
each year, it would not be possible to
follow corn with corn year after year
with profit.

Look Wen to the Poultry.

Whether the young birds are being
raised to lay eggs later or for the car
cass market, they need good care dur
ing the summer. It is not enough that
they be turned onto the range; they
must be carefully fed, SO that they
make the proper growth. This Is es-
pecially necessary with the stock that
is being raised for laying purposes.
The range is essential, but no amount
of grass will furnish all the food the
growing chickens need. Let them have
a liberal feed of grain in the morning
before they are let out of the house
and another at night when they come
homo to roost. This will be all they
need If they have a good range except
an abundance Of fresh clean water and
shade while on the range. If one has
a large number Of fowls, great care
must be taken not only to have the
poultry houses sweet and clean, but
any portion Of the grounds where they
congregate in any number ought also
to be kept clean, which is best done by
spading up the ground after scattering
lime over it Do this several times dur
ing the summer, and there will b little
danger Of disease In the dockA

Two Dairying DeIusfons.

The objection has been made that If
all COWS were brought up to a high
standard Of production 1t would bring
down the price Of the products, said
W. ID. Hoard, of Wisconsin, at the late
Illinois State Farmers Institute. Keep.
Ing poor, unfit cows for the purpose of
holding up prices Of butter and milk is
hard OF the constitution. The surplus
of duiry products comes from the COWS
that bring no profit to their owners.
Eliminate the poor cows and there will
be no surplus. Too many farmers keep
their eyes on the market. They can
not affect the price one dot or title.
They can if they will reduce the cost
of production. Lots of money Is to be
made by a wiser administration Of the

only end that is wholly within our con-
