1T is A POISON.
Effect of Alcohol on the Physical Or
ganisms Is Bad.

'Ts alcohol a poison to the animal
organism?" Dr. Williams, a prominent
medical authority, says in answer te
the question:
THE matter is presented in nut
shell by the professor of pathology al
Johns Hopkins university, DR.. William
H. Welch, when he says; alcohol in
sufficient quantities is a poison to all
lifting organisms. both animal and
vegetable" To that unequivocal pro
nouncement there is, l believe, nc
dissenting voice. Open any work or
the practice of medicine quite at ran
dom, and whether you chance to reae
of diseased stomach or heart OF
blood;vessels or liver or kidneys OF
nerves or brain-it is all one; in any
case you will learn that alcohol may
be an active factor in the causation
and a retarding factor in the cure OF
some, at least, of the important dis
eases of the organ or set of organs
about which you are reading.
You will RISE" adds DR.. WEIGH
with the conviction that alcohol il
not merely poison, but the most sub
tie, the most far-reaching, and, judged
by it's ultimate effects, incomparablJ
the most virulent of all poisons."

Street Railway Ruling.

Attorneys representing street railway
interests in Mississippi are i'll very much
of quandary over the decision rem
dered by the Supreme Court relative to
the right of AUDITING property owners
to claim damages on account of street
railways built in front of their property,
and some of them evidently interpret
the ruling of the court to be disastrous
to traction interests.
Briefly stated, the opinion means that
hereafter municipal councils must be
more careful in selling or giving away
franchises to traction lines; that the
matter of damages to AUDITING proper
ty owners is a question of fact, and
must be determined in the courts when
ever the question is raised. 1t does not
necessarily mean that before traction
line can be built, or line already in eX-
istencs extended, that the consent of all
property owners along the thoroughfars
in question must be secured, but it does
mean that these property owners have
q vested right in the thoroughfare.

Sentences Affirmed.

Three capital eases, one sentence, to
life imprisonment and two death by

Court Monday. Justice Fletcher an
nounced the finding in the case of George
Cunninshsm, appealed from Monroe
county, for the murder Of an old woman
under most grewsoms circumstances,
and without mitigating conditions. He
gets life sentence.
In tire case of Arthur Farrow, q
young negro, appealed from Tate coun-
ty, for q conviction of murder and the
death sentence, Justice Hayes rendered
the decision, affirming the lower court,
and fixing Wednesday, March "a, as the
date for his execution Farrow delber-
ately shot and killed young white man
named Scott at fish fry i'll Tate coun-
ty, for practically no reason.
Chief Justice Whitfield passed on the
appeal of Jim Greene, negro, from
conviction and death sentence, ia Jeffer-
son county court. There was nothing
in the record to Justify a reversal and
the sentence was affirmed, and Monday,
March 20, fixed as the date of execution.

Plan to Pension Cleveland's Widow

drawn pension of $4,000 a year from
the government, and no money that
comes from the treasury is more
cheerfully paid. The first time a pen
sion was ever suggested for the widow
of an ex-president was in the case of
William Henry Harrison, who died one
month after his Inauguration.
The death of Harrison appealed
peculiarly to the nation, and the sum
of $4,000 outright was voted her. She
lived to enjoy its proceeds for period
of % years. The second, Mrs. Tyler,
drew pension of $4,000 per annum
for q years. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln
was given $4,000 and an additional
pension of $4,000 per annum. Grants
widow also received $4,000 year, as
did the widow of President Mckinley.

the best advantage. Clover has bet
ter chance in drilled grain. The drill
should be run north and south. so that
the sun can shine in between the rows
on the little clover plants.
Harvesting the Crop.
Preparation for harvest should be
made by having the binder in perfect
running order beforehand. If oats are
not cut as soon as ripe they will al.
most surely go down and be lost
Great care should be taken in shocking
to see that the bundles stand up firm

shocks should be capped, as a capped
shock will shed cain better. A shock
that stands up straight and is well
capped will shed great deal Of rain
without wetting In much. 1t is much
better to stack than to thrash out Of
the shock. The oats will sweat some
where. and they will be of better quail
ity If they do it in the stack instead
Of In the bin. 1t has been proved many
times over that there is nothing to be
gained by thrashing oats from the
shock. Oats that have been permitted

better quality than those which have
been hurried into the thrasher.

els TO the acre. the medium fifty .fop
and the heavy sixty-two. The differ.
ence may not be this great every time,
but 1t will always be great enough to
pay well for the labor Of tanning.
There Is an objection to using the
heavy oats for seed in that they tend
to become a little later each year. This
can be avoided BY Introducing some
new seed OF an early variety every
rev years. Directions for breeding
seed oats will be given In article Z.
After the oats are cleaned and grad
ed they should be treated for smut.
Smut Is black fungus that grows
from a tiny spore that lodges beneath
the hull when the oat Is in bloom and
the kernel open. When the hull closes
the spore is held inside until the next
season, when it sprouts and sends a
thread up through the stem to the
head. There the smut grows, produc.
ing a black mass where the head
should be. Often as many as Is per
cent Of the heads will be affected in
this way. These black heads are not
easily noticed. so that the damage 10
Usually underestimated.
The simplest method Of treatment is
to spread the oats out on a tight floor
and sprinkle them with a solution Of
one pound Of forma!in to forty gallons
Of water. This amount is sufficient
for forty bushels Of oats Shovel the
oats over two or three times until they
are thoroughly wet, and then pile them
up and cover them with blankets or
sacks. The fumes from the formalin
will penetrate beneath the hull and
kill the smut spores. In the morning
the oats should be spread out again
and shoveled over occasionally until
dry. They can be sowed wet. but in
that case the seeder should be set to
sow about a bushel to the acre more.
as they do not run through as readily.
This work should be done on q warm
day, as freezing while the oats are wet
will injure the termination. This treat
ment costs only about q cent bushel
and is very effective.
Preparing the Seed Bed.
One of the most neglected points in
oat culture is the preparation Of the
seed bed. Oats do better on a rather
firm seed bed. II the feld was in corn

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
MODERN STEAM LOCOMOTIVE

AS early as 1880 Sir Isaac Newton pre-
dcted steam propelled carriages ana even
made suggestions bearing on their design.
Through the eighteenth century various
types OF steam vehicles appeared, more as
curiosities than anything else, some OF
them foreTunners Of the locomotive and
others OF the automobile.
IL was not until 1909 that anything
really deserving the name LOCOMOTIVES
was built Richard Trevithick, a Cornish
miner. constructed the locomotive bearing
his name. curiously enough as the result
OF a wager. On trial this machine did
convey ten tons OF iron for nine miles oil
cast iron tramWay by steam power,
winning The wager.
The desire OF Christopher Blackett, Il
mine owner, 10 use steam motive power
in place OF animals, led 10 the practical
demonstration ot adhesion, On this prin-
cipe Blacllett's superintendent William
Hedlcy. built his ''Puifine Billy" a com
picated AFFAIR OF levers, beams and gears.
On the completion OF the Liverpool &
Manchester railroad. the directors. being
undecided as to the motive power, offered
prize OF $500 for locomotive that
would fulfill certain conditions. The test
came of n Rainhill in October, 1879, on
level piece OF track about "a miles long,
between four competitors.
Stcphcnsons Rocket won. and gave
the world the mechanical combination es-
sentially represented in locomotive prac-
tice since that time. American locomo-
tive practice followed the Stephenson
model.
Among the early builders were Phineas
Davis. Ross Winans. and Matthias Bald
win. The four wheel engines OF the Eng
lish type proved injurious TO the light rail-
and SHARP curves on our early roads. and
TO overcome this: John B. Jervls. chief
engineer of the Mohawk G. Hudson rail-
road. introduced the four wheel 'Bogle'
truck.
For some twenty years this design re-
maincd. until in the flfties the demand
for more tractVe power brought about
The addition OF another pair of coupled
drivers, thus evolving the well-knowr
american" type.
Additional drivers were added with the
demand for increased tractive power
leading in turn TO the development OF the
''Mogur' and Consolidated" types.
In the decade between 1880 and 1896
more drivers, such as in the ten-wheo 81
type began to he used in high speed scrv-
ice, and the adaptation Of wide fire boxes
TO the American type neccssitated the ad-
dltion OF a trailer truck 10 support the
rear end OF the locomotive frame. and
brought about the "Atlaptic' type in
1895.
The Pacific" type. or the most modern
high speed passenger locomotive, is de-
velopment Of this. In 1883 Anatole Nal.
let designed the artculated locomotive Ir
1904 the first one OF this type was placed
in operation on an American railroad, and
