OUR SEVEN SENATORS.

The Jackson News commenting OF
the number of men Mississippi has
furnished different states to occu
py seats in the u. S. Senate, says
With the promotion of Governor
Chamberlain, of Oregon, to a seat In
the upper house of Congress there
are seven men in the u. S. Senate
born under that star which s'glitters
to the name of Mississippi" Need
less to note all are DEMOCRATS, Gov
Chamberlain securing the honor, al
though the legislature of that state
is Republican.
Geo. Earl Chamberlain was borr
near Natchez, January /, 1854. He
went West early in life and ''riz up
with the country until now, after
two terms as Governor of Oregon, he
reached the pinnacle of seat with
the solons in Washington.
Joseph Weldon Bailey was born
IN Copiah county, October, 1863, re.
moving to the Lone Star state when
he was % years of age. He was a
lawyer from early manhood and
never reformed.
Thomas Pryor Gore, the blind sen.
ator from Oklahoma, was born in
Webster county, Mississippi, Dec
TO, 1870, went to school at Walthall
and took later course at Cumber-
land University, Lebanon, Tenn. He
went to Texas in 1896, but had the
foresight to remove to Oklahoma in
1901, in plenty of time to be chosen
senator.
Francis Griffith Newlands, the
senator from Reno, Nevada, the
prizefighters' haven, was born in
Natchez, August %, 1S4S, but was
lured away from his state when he
went East to attend the Yale Univer-
sity. He remained East until he
went West to practice law.
James P. Clark, wearer of the toga
from Arkansas, was born in Yazoc
City. August IS, 1854. After learn
ing all the Mississippi schools could
teach, he went to the University OF
Virginia, later seeking the higher
education in Little Rock.
Added to this stellar list are the
names of fernando DeSoto Money

CURIOUS USES FOR ELECTRICITY

Some odd uses are made Of cleo
tricity energy in these progressive
days. 1t has even found its way
into employment as an adjunct to
the toilet Electrical hairdressing has
Its origin I'm London few years ago.
Hair is burned off by electrically
heated platinum wires stretched alon
a metallic comb; curling irons are
heated by means Of ferronickel wire
within them; and electrical machines
for the Identification of ladys' eye
brows and eye-lashers are by no
means unknown in the world of fash
ion
An electrical shoe-polishing ma
chine is in use in number of our
large cities. A set of electrically
driven brushes cleans the dirt from
the shoes, another set polishes them,
and a jet of warm air is applied to
them to brighten the effect, precisely
in the same manner employed by the
human boot-black.
Electricity is now used in France
to fell trees, being substituted for the
old-fashioned axe and saw. A wire is
led across or round the trunk, and
through this a current is passed
which causes it to become red-hot,
thus burning completely through the
timber, which thereupon falls, al
though there may be no men with
in q mile of it. This method has
been extensively used in France at
places where the necessary power is
conveniently available.
These facts and many others show
that oneof the most striking features
CT the electrical development of the
future is the application of electric
power to minor uses and ordinary
conveniences.

DROWNED GOLD.
Search for sunken Treasure.

The first full and complete story
Of the gold tnat was struggled out
of the Transvaal just before the Boer
war, is forthcoming this writes our
Pietermaritzburg correspondent on
Dec. 12), from the diary of Colonel
Clarke, now Chief Commissioners of
the Natal police and formerly head
of the criminal investigation depart
ment of the colony. From this it APP
pears that "Kruger's gold'' is a
myth. but that the smugglers were
a syndicate of illicit gold buyers,
who were plundering the Transyaal
mines
The value of the gold is estimated
at from e60O,0OO to Ell 100000, and
search for it is now being made off
Cape Vidal, St. Lucia Bay, Zululand,
The gold, according to the diary, was
put on board the bark Dorothea, at
Delagoa Bay. 1t was in January, 1898
that the vessel set SAIL but she was
wrecked the day after departure.
The treasure was securely packed
away in strong boxes, which were
placed at the bottom of the hold,
cemented over, and then covered with
stone ballast. The vessel went ashore
at Cape Vidal and broke up. One
side Of the ship f1oated up the coast
to point fifteen miles distant, and
on this portion Of the vessel two
expeditions have worked in the belief
that it contained gold. Colonel Clark
is convinced, however, from what he
was told by natives who witnessed
the wreck, and from information from
other sources, that the gold went to-
the bottom off Cape Vidal. In 1899
Colonel Clarke carried out search
ing operations, but it was necessary
to wait for calm day to permit q di
yer to 60 down. Only one such day
presented itself, and on that occasion
another boat appeared off the Cape
and the search was postponed Sub
seQuently other duties compelled Col
onel Clarke to leave the spot.
A syndicate has been formed att
johannesburg with a capital Of a3
900, and is now prosecuting the
search off Cape Vidal. Colonel Clark
expresses his absolute confidence
that the expedition Is at the right
place.

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT or
YOUR MANURE.

In series of tests extending
through seven years, the Ohio ex-
pertinent station found that eight
tons of manure which had been kept
under cover, when applied to an acre
of land produced five and one-half
bushels more corn, two bushels more
wheat, or $40 pounds more than did
an equal quantity of manure which
had been exposed through the winter.
Whenever you throw your manure
out in the barnyard for the rain to
wash away the plant food it contains,
you are throwing away money. You
are 1oosing money, too, whenever you
pile it up in heaps to ferment and
send off into the air the amonia it
contains.
The best possible way to handle
manure for ordinary farm crops is
to spread it on the land as fast as
made. If you have not stock enough
to justify you in doing this, keep it
under cover, and use plenty Of bed
ding to absorb the liquid portion Of
1t. Sprinkling little raw phosphate
rock over it occasionally will also
help to hold the amonia and will sup
ply the element in which the manure

nure on your land use manure

ARE YOU SAVING THIS MONEY!
Each Horse you own Produces SGT
Worth Of Manure Year and Every
Cow $3.50 Worth.

Commercial fertilizers have proven
themselves of great value and are
destined to play even a greater part
in our farm economy, but it is only
when used as supplements to the
home product that this will be so. 1t
is only when used with green manure
and barnyard manure that the most
permanent improvements can be ac-
complished. 1t therefore, behoove
the farmers of the South to give NOR
attention to the conservation of farm
manure. The small value frequently
realized from the use of barnyard
manure arises from the fact that it
was not properly saved and handled
and the manure had lost the greater
part of its plant food. If the manure
is allowed to heat, a large quantity
of the nitrogen is driven off into the
atmosphere.
On the other hand, If the manure
Is left exposed to the elements, the
water from rains easily and rapidly
teaches out the soluble plant food.
So in order to get tn emost valuable
manure, these sources of loss must
be avoided. There are several ways
of accomplishing this. Probably the
best plan, where it Is practicable, is
to haul the manure direct to the land
and pillow it in. Again, especially
with horse manure, etc., it is good to
allow the manure to remain in the
stable, using plenty of litter. The
animals tramp it down, thus ex-
Guiding air, and as it is kept dry, it
will keep with practically no loss.
The litter used in bedding is not
only of value itself as fertilizer,
but serves to absorb all liquids and
|0IqgopogId GU il 'ssoI I!eql lueAeId
to persue either of these methods,
then cheap shed can be provided
and the manure stored in it until
ready for use. There is one pre-
caution that must be observed when
the shed it used, and especially if
the droppings from the horses pre-
dominate. Under these circumstan-
ces; the manure is apt to heat This
should be avoided by dampening it.
Commercial fertilizers do not add
vegetable matter, do not start soil
fermentation, and do not correct me-
chanical defects of the soil. A ton
of well-preserved manure from a well
fed horse contains about 98 pounds
of nitrogen, So pounds of phosplloric
acid, SO pounds of potash-plant
food that would cost 1921 bought as
commercial fertilizer A horse weigh
ing one thousand pounds will produce
about twelve tons of manure per
year, and this manure is consequence
ly worth 76c per day, or about $27
per year. This manure from the aver
age COW is worth 6.5c per day, or
$23.20 per year.

Get a piano for the girls and give
them music lessons. Keep the boys
and girls in school Make them feel
that life is worth living.
Make your home so attractive that
when the children go away they
will get home-sick to come back agai
and will not be ashamed to bring
their friends with them. If your
house is old and you can't afford
to build new one, all well and good
but you can make the old one more
comfortable and paint it.
If you can't get good water near
the house, what are you doing? Car
rying water from the lower well?
I thought so. Why don't you buy
windmill and some gas pipe and
force the water into the kitchen
Then get a kitchen sink, and you
don't know how many steps this will

How about the yard fence and
