THAT GULF
HURRICANE.
Track of Great Storm Shswn
With Wrecks About 200
s Lives Lost.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. "details of
the great hurricane which swept over
the gulf states show 1t to have been, in
point of territory affected, property
damaged and lives lost. one of the most
disastrous the southern section of the
country has ever experienced.
Later reports are expected to add to
the loss of life, for telegraphic commu-
hication is only partially restored, and
hundreds of outlying towns In the
storms path have not been heard from.
FdAt Mobile 102 lives are reported lost.
Thirty have been identified. and the
| property loss is placed at $10,000,OW.
Damage to shipping cannot be estimat-
| ed, but many ships are high and dry
and may never reach water again.
Twenty-Five persons were drowned ut
Pensacola, the property damage Is 49,
O00, 900, and scores of vessels were
wrecked.
At the Pensacola navy yard many OF
the warships berthed there were each
ed or sunk. The Santa Rosa hospital
was swept away. The patients went
with the building and are believed to
be lost.
Fort Morgan, in Mobile harbor, is n
complete wreck, the loss there reaching
100000.
T~hirty-eight vessels are known to be
ashore in the Mississippi delta. Six
lives were lost below this port, and
damage in the lower Louisiana planta-
lions will reach 81, 100000. Fort st.
Philip sustained 10,0O0. damage.
-Four bodies not before counted have
been found at Coden, and it Is estimat-
ed that twenty-three lives have been
lost from the oyster fleet around Cedar
point, neal Mobile.
The anxiety regarding the residents
of Dauphin island was relieved when
word was brought to Mobile that there
had been only four deaths. which, with
the twelve lost with the British steam
ualties there sixteen. Every building
on the island has been swept away.
The survivors took refuge in the trees,
in which they remained until the storm
wore itself out.
The situation along the coast to the
west of this city is now fairly well
known. At Scranton, Miss, one
church, the Odd Fellows hall and sew
eral buildings We're blown down. AT
Pascagoula Beach not a residence is
left standing, the river front at that
point is completely torn up and the
lighthouse there has been destroyed.
Five out of eight vessels at Ship
island at the time of the storm were
beached, and two will be total wrecks.
1t is difficult to give any adequate
idea of the magnitude of the storm
devastation at Pensacola. The entire
water front Is a mass of tangled
w%reckage. The costly bridge of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, span
ming Escambia bay, vas demolished,
and it will be many days before trains
can go eastward. During the hurrl-
cane the water rose eight and a half
feet In the bay, inundating all parts of
the city. Fourteen ocean going ships
are wrecks ashore.

cuLTIvATINo CORN CROP.
The Methods Should Vary with the
Weather and the Character of
the Season.

In the cultivation of corn | find that
the plan has to be varied to suit the
season. II the season is wet | believe
1t Is better to cultivate quite deep, but
IL the weather is dry give a shall

level do not wait until the corn is
up before beginning to cultivate. but

even before planting. and harrow well
Immediately after planting before the
corn is up. Then | let 1t alone until
the plants are up far enough to stand
another cultivation. After the corn Is
up | cultivate from three to five times.
according to necessity. l find to fa-
cilitate the work of cultivation that
the rows should be made from 40 to
AZ inches apart. II the land is poor
or worn out, 1t is we'll to have them
even further apart. use only one
row cultivator. and do the work OF
cultivating thoroughly. The weeds
that interfere most with the cultiva-
tion in wet weather are crab grass
and fox tail. The other common
weeds are easily handled. If long
rainy spell sets In just as we are about
to begin cultivation we simply wait
patiently until the ground is in shape
to be cultivated. 1t is my experience
that. speaking generally. corn does
not receive as many civilizations be-
fore planting as 1t should. That Is,
lne ground should be worked into a
condition of fineness that will encour-
age the spread of the corn roots. Most
farmers cultivate the corn enough
after II Is up, but do not use enough
care In cultivation. I am confident,
continues the writer in the Farmafs'
Review, that better cultivation will
greatly increase the corn crop. think
that more cultivating would help us
very much to conserve the moisture
that Nature has given us and thns
save 1t for the use of the corn during
the dry spell that comes every sum-
