WHY SOME MINING CONCERNS
 ARE FAILURES.
(from sundays Daily.)

Dr. William Woodburn. president of the Cumberland Mining company, will leave today for fhc compnny's camp, in the Turkey Creek district, to take charge of operations to he commenced there tomorrow. A month x test mill run will bc made from the ores of the mines. and if satisfactory, large opera. tions will he commenced and cont nucd on the property. Since his arrival here the doctor has been busily engaged in settling some legal complications of the concern and according to his state. mcnt he will now engage in making n thorough test of the ores before he starts an extensive plan of develop ment of the mines.
 In conversation last evening with a Journal Miner representative, hc stated that he believed that one half of the failures in mining here and elsewhere was due to ovcr-eapitalization and the other half to incompetent management. He believes in business methods being applied to mine operations as well as in every other pursuit for profit, and that man should have experience in mining before he assumes the manage ment of mining concern.
 The company's holdings, comprising eleven patented claims, equipped with a l0.stamp mill, arc located in a well watcred section of a spur of the Brad. shaw mountains, about twcntyfour miles south of this city.

Owing to the large transient population in this Territory many arc arrested by the authorities on insanity charges when it is absolutely impossible 10 learn anything concerning their pre- vious history, which is very important before official action is taken.
 "In my opinion, n detention ward should bc provided in the county hos. pitnl for the carc and treatment of parties suffering from n loss of mind until full and complete observation can he had of the patient. Many times persons arc arrested on insanity charges when they arc really suffering from dclirium trcmcns, and when nothing is known of the previous his. tory or habits of the patient. he IS liable for commitment to the Tcrriior. ial asylum, when, in fact, he could he cured here with proper care and treat. mcnt, if suitable place of confinement were to be had. without incurring the expense of transporting him io the Ter. ritorinl asylum.
 "As the situation now is." he a ldcd, |" there is no place io coniinc patient except in the county jail, with other prisoners, m unsuitable and even dan. gcrous place to condnc violent maninc. it appears to me io be iphuman to con. fine an insane woman in the county jail under present conditions.'

the fruit hung long enough, on the

DRY was sound, that by clipping with
secuteurs a minimum amount of dam
age was done to the trees, and that
the fruit retaining about a quarter of
an inch of the stem would keep a lit
tie longer. But they also discovered
that the damage done to tree by pull
ing was inhnitisma1; certainly so
slight as not to be noticeable, and
that the fruit, under ordinary condi-

find a purchaser. Pulling is, at all

We have just had several DAYS of
rain which is very favorable for crop
OF sage honey. That is if there comes
few rains later we will be sure of
crop next year. Nothing but
long spell of unusually dry weather
could prevent. In 1884 there was an
abundance of rain in December, but
scarcely any all the rest of the winter.
In Ioo4-5 there was no rain until about
the 1st of February, when it began to
rain. But it was so late that sage did
not have time to grow.

REASON OR INSTINCT IN BEES.

TT HE DISCUSSION between Mr..
Latham and Arthur c. Miller
in the November Bee-Keeper.
as to why drone comb is built, is to
me very interesting.
For various reasons I would like to
accept Mr.. Miller's theory, and per-
haps could do so regarding the build
ing of drone comb. Yet there are a
thousand and one other things, that
the bees do, which would seem to
require even more reasoning power
than would the building of drone
comb just when male bees are needed
For instance, how about their build
ing queen cells just when queens are
needed and at no other time?
Does it require stronger reasoning
powers to enable them to build drone
cells just when drones are needed,
than it does to build queen cells
just when queens are needed?
Perhaps it is the crowded condition
Of the hive that compe1s the bees to
feed the larvae one kind of food to
produce a worker bee and another
kind to produce queen.
If bees are mere reflex machines,
how are we to account for their max
ing preparations for an event that is
to take place a week or ten days in
the future, as in preparing to swarm;
and all at once destroying all their
queen cells, and giving up the notion
of swarming simply because the hon
ey flow begins to decline?
If we admit that bees always build
queen cells when queens are needed
and at no other time, it seems to me
that the argument is rather in favor
Of the theory of higher order of in
stinct, very nearly akin to reason.
AS there are higher Developments
of reasoning powers in the human
race why should there not be higher
order of instinct in the lower animals?
This is indeed a fruitful theme and
one worthy of our best thought and
study. The argument is not all on
one side.
There is cause for every effect in
nature. Let each one study closely the
nature of the bee, and go down into
cause and effect, and, like the noble
Bereans of old, learn whether or not
these things be true.-J. E. Hand, in

LIE CONTE PEARS.

The following from the Monticello
News should be of interest and value
to others besides the pear growers of
Jefferson county,
Hon. w. B. Lamar, knowing that
the pear growers of Jefferson would
appreciate reliable information on the
subject Of fertilizing lie Conte pear
groves, wrote Secretary Wilson at
Washington asking for such informa
ton The reply of the Secretary OF
Agriculture is herewith printed:
Dear Sir-Your letter of the 9th
instant relative to fertilizers for your
lie Conte pear orchard is received
Your trees, being in vigorous con-
dition, evidently do not need nitrogen
and we would suggest that fertilizer
Analysing 10 per cent. potash and 8
per cent. phosphoric acid and not
more than per cent. nitrogen, if
any, be applied Almost any manu-
facturer Of fertilizers can furnish YOU
goods that will give something near
the above analysis; however, it would
perhaps be better to buy the ingre-
dents and mix them on the farm
Three parts of acid phosphate to one
part Of muriate of potash would make
you good mixture Some growers
like to use ground bone. which con-
tains some nitrogen, and the follow
ing mixture makes a good fertilizer
for pear trees: 1000 pounds acid
phosphate, 600 pounds ground bone
and 400 pounds muriate of potash.
The per cent of nitrogen in mix
ture Of this composition would be
very small. scarcely sufficient to slim
ulate the trees. too much. The fer
ti1izer should be scattered broadcast
at the rate of 400 to 600 pounds per
acre. and cultivated or narrowed in.
The roots of pear trees at the age Of
yours if planted at the customary dis
lance apart occupy practically the en-
tire space between the rows. The fer
ti1izer should therefore be spread
over the whole surface. The applica-
ton should be made early in the
spring at the first blowing. You
are perhaps aware that trees over
stimulated with feti1izers are more
susceptible to blight. This is espe-
cia11v true where nitrogen is used
You should therefore. be careful not
to feed your trees too freely.
Very truly yours,

or more per acre of cotton seed meal;
Jules Perthins, still at Hitchcock,
driving an OK wagon filled with the
loose meal which both of us spread
with shovels. Later I applied an
equal quantity of cotton seed hull
ashes, bulls being the sole fuel of the
mill at Galveston, 80 per cent. OF
which was potash and per cent
phosphoric acid The ashes cost
nothing but load of sand for load
of ashes, their commercial value not
yet having been discovered by the
mills. The same amounts were ap-
piled annually for six years and the
ground closely cropped in vegeta-
bles, strawberries and melons, After
that it was put to grass and about
half the above quantities of meal anc
ashes applied for two years when
dropped the meal and used only the
ashes. While the large crops of veg
etables and extraordinary growth OIL
the trees was due to the meal, the
health, in fact the subsequent saliva
ton of the orchard from blight was
undoubtedly due to the large excess
Of potash stored TIP in the soil. Potash
is not only specific for blight, but is
the element most deficient in the
coast country prairies, for after a
few crops the soil fails to respond
to stable manure Or meal alone, as il
did at first.
So much for one of the causes oil
that orchards superiority. The other
beyond doubt, is the fact that fol
nearly 7 years its surface roots have
never been disturbed but once, in
the spring of 1893, when foolishly
thought to help the trees carry their
heavy crop and cultivated the ground
frequently until June with a disc
harrow, the season having been very
dry. The subsequent pruning and
other mistaken treatment of the trees
in the fall, resulting in the first at
tack Of blight the next spring, as de-
tailed at length in the New Horticu1-
ture, and the whole theory of blight
explained on principles that were veri-
fed to the letter in the general and
first appearance of blight in Lam
pasas four years ago. Having nov
answered your inquiry as to the ST.
periority of these majectic LeContes
which tower like Brobdignags over
the few Lilliputian pear trees of the
coast country that survive, the ques-
ton arises, Mr.. Editor, will it not
pay the fruit growers Of South Texas
to revise their verdict that the LIE
Conte is nuisance and ought to be
exterminated, as suggested by the
government scientists Why not also
extirpate the California Bart1etts
which are also going by thousands
every year with blight, thus leaving
the field for early summer pears en-
tirely to the LeConte if it can be
grown, which my old orchard plainly
demonstrates can be done. There is
not today in Texas another IS acres
the area of that orchard, worth hall
the money or that will yield half the
profit that it will, for the owner is al
no trouble or expense except to apply
the fertilizer and gather his crop, q
