From the Ave Maria.
II would seem that In very carly

Even when later on II became the
general practice 10 have two candles
lighted upon the altar, Two othors"
we are told. were often lighted at
the parochial or high mass during
N" canon. or at least before the ele-
vation."
But while It secTs to have been
usual nj high mass on Sundays and
feast days to have even in smaller
two In larger candlesticks at tho side
the number was much greater in
abbcys and cathcdras
At Chlnchestcr in the thirt senth
century II was the custom on great
festivals to place seven tapers OF two
pounds each on the altar. eight on the
beam above II and two on the altar
and two on the step We know also
that in the chapel OF Henry VIII. on

PENSIONS DRAIN TREASURY
Ths States Credit Is Good ard Thar
Win Be No Trouble in BouoVing
Any Amount Needed.

Jackson.-"I regret very much to say,
said State Treasurer George aR. Ed
wards Friday, that ell of the available
cash in the treasury has been entirely
exhausted by the payment Of the pen
siOns which were due to the old Confed-
crate soldiers, so that it viii be fmPOs-
sible for this department to cash any
more warrants until more revenues are
in hand"
This is by no mean an unusual condi'
ton, however, as we have for the last
eight years gone broke" about this
time of the year, and had to make the
best of it until the January revenue
began to come in; in fact one year dur
ing Governor Vardaman's administration
the funds gave out before the June
school fund had been paid, and it was
necessary to wait until the fall taxes
came in to make the provision.
1t is estimated that there will be
over a million dollars in the treasury
by the middle of January, which, OF
course, will be reduced more than hall
by the proposed redemption of the 1910
bond sisue. But with oil that, Missis'
sippi will Oe in a comparatively healthy
financial condition as a reference to
the situation in some other states win
show.
There are two bills appropriatins
money, passed by the present session Of
the legislature, and signed by the gov.
ernor, that will create a demand on
the treasury for some money pretty
soon. One is for the payment of the
National Guard On duty at McComb
City and Water Valley, and the other is
for The legislators themselves.
There is an item that would about
cover all this, and it is expected at any
time. That is the amount accruing from
the sale of cotton and seed produced by
the penitentiary farms, which is about
100000. The cotton is being delivered
at the present time and of course the
payment for it is due upon delivery.
Anyway, the state can borrow money
on short notice should imperative re
q%uirements demand it.

penetrate the soil in the south depend
upon the depth Of the blowing.
1t has been proved without question
that the roots of plants penetrate the
soil deeper and feed deeper in deeply
plowed land. Thus, in general, 1t may
be stated that when the soil Is plowed
three inches deep the plants have
three inches Of food, when plowed six
inches deep they have six inches Of
food, and when plowed ten inches
deep they have ten inches Of food.
The fact that the bottom Of the plowed
land is not as rich in available plant
food as the top portions shows the ne
cessity of getting more air and heat
down to them by deeper tillage.
The soil requirements most essen
tial to the growth of plants are heat
and moisture. Deep breakage in
sures air and heat at a greater depth.
For plants to do their best there
must be in the soil a constant supply
of moisture, so that a film Of water

The capacity of a given soil to hold

Thoroughly puiverized soil three inch
es deep cannot store enough 70 make a
good crop.
In all southern states there are
every year periods Of drought, some
times not serious, but generally sui
fciently protracted to reduce the crop.
The remedy for this is increased stor-
age for moisture. This a be accom-
plished by deep and thorough tillage
and by filing the soil with humus
(partly decayed vegetation). The ef-
feet Of deep tillase has been explained.
The effect Of humus is to increase
greatly the storage capacity OF soils
for water and to reduce evaporation.
A pound ct humus will store seven and
one-half times as much moisture as a
pound Of sand, and the sand will lose
its water by evaporation three and
one half times more rapidly than the
humus. A clay soil will store only
about one-fourth as much moisture as
humus, and will lose 1t by evaporation
twice as rapidly.
Plants use IN enormous quantity Of
water. An acre Of good corn will alb
sorb and evaporate during its growth
nearly ten inches Of water. About
three-fourths Of this amount will be
required the last rs days of Its growth.
Or at the rate Of three inches Of water

BEEF FOR COTTON PLANTER
Some Sort Of Diversified Farming
Plan Will Tend Towards Better
and More Reliable Results.

The cotton planter Of the south, who
has been looking in vain for years for
some relief from the ravages of the
boil weevil, and for a more certain
money crop, owes 1t to himself to
consider well his equipment for rails
ing and feeding beef cattle, and the
d~esirability Of his embarking in that
business at this time.
The cotton crop for some time has
been far from a sure crop, and the
south needs today, as never before,
some sort of diversified farming plan
that will tend towards better and
more consistent results. Cotton can
not be depended upon year In and
year out as in the earlier days. Grain
farming alone will not only not main
tain the fertility of the soil, but in the
end will ruin it. And not all OF the
south is adapted to grain growing.
With a more equitable climate, with
natural grasses abundant the year
around. with sufficient grain feed
raised, live stock growing should be
profitable In practically all sections
of the south. The only obstacle is the
prevalence Of the fever tick, and the
work Of tick eradication Is being
pushed in all the southern states with
much progress and there is much rea-
son to believe that in a very few
years the tick will be confined to small
and scattered localities.

the retarding influence Of the dust
mulch, will amount to several inches
each month in midsummer. In case
the land is plowed only three or four
inches deep, though thoroughly pull
verified, 1t will store an amount Of
moisture entirely insufficient to sup
ply crop requirements in any protract-
ed drought. These shallow and gen.
orally poorly prepared seed beds are
the principal u of the low corn
yields In the south, and they affect the
cotton yields similarly, but not SO
much, because cotton is a more
drought'resistant plant than corn. II
planting is done at all, it is folly to
prepare a seed bed so shallow as to
bring about the almost total loss Of
the crop some years and a reduced
crop every year.
