Sailors Superstitious.

while most sailormen will stoutiy

the occult has no stronger hold on them
than on landsmen, the popular belief is
to the contrary" said Capt. NJ. W.
Rourke. Of Boston, at the Raleigh yester-
day. Capt. Rourke is an old seafarinS
man himself, but is now leading a re-
tired life.
1T is likely that the sesman's isolation
from outside influences and the weeks
and months spent af1oat with only his
mates for company served to foster su-
perstitious notions in the days of sail
ing vessels, while the general spread OF
knowledge works but slowly IN these 10
cult matters, concerning which Jack iS
peculiarly unreasoning.
The Finn" continued Capt. Rourke,
''is the most superstitious of all sailors.
There are many of this race who still be
lieve IN the ominous portent of the phan-
tom ship, the folly of starting a voyage
on a Friday, a notion, however, by no
means confined to seafaring men; the low
burning blue lights, which are ghost
spirits lowering near to give warnings OF
approaching disaster, and many other
things.
Not only is the origin OF many sea
superstitions wrapped in mystery. but
also any logical explanation Of cause and
effect. 1t would puzzle any one to say
why it should be unlucky for a ships
boy to whistle on the weather bow, ex-
cept that it is generally unpleasant from

VIEWS AND
INTERVIEWS
One Million Dollar Oner.

James c.. Hawkins, of Pittsburg. a met
allurgist, who is at the New Willard
said last night that million dollars
awaits the inventor who can give to the
world an appliance, no matter how SIM
pie, which will consume smelter smoke.
Smoke consumers are used with success
in many of the large cities. but the
smoke in such cases issues from ordi-
nary heating plants burning coal or wood
Smelter smoke contains fumes and gases
from the roasting ores, and thus far the
human mind has failed to find an in
fiuence that will combat the poisonous
effect of the smoke which fills the at
mosphere in the vicinity of every smelter.
This million-dolIar reward for the sue
csssful inventor is no fairy tale or pipe
dream. The big smelling companies of
the United States have spent many times
that amount fighting damage claims or
settling with damaged and disgruntled
neighbors. \ couple of years ago the
Guggenheim interests. which pactical-
ly control the smelling trust, publicly
offered 10000 for a successful smoke con-
sumner, and the offer was duplicated,
though unofficially, by the Amalgamated
Copper Company. which runs some OF
the largest smelling plants in the world
Recently an ss0OO.oOO plant was closed
by the people of Utah on the grounds of
smoke damage"

CULTIVATION OF DRY CROPS
Main Thing Is to See That Plants
Have Good Roots-No Tearing
Out II Done Properly.

Professor Blount was recently
quoted as advocating the advantage OF
cultivating grain crops in the arid
regions and being laughed at by some
who could not understand the philoso
ply of such a proposition. Professor
Blount is absolutely right as l have
proved by experience. Last season at
Cheyenne was one Of the driest on
record and all crops grown on the
state dry farm under my supervision
were cultivated several times after
they were up and had good roots
some when knee high to the team
writes DR.. v. T. Cooke in the Denver
Field and Farm. The object OF cult
waiting with the crop as high as this
was more to show that such cultiva'
ton although possibly not beneficial
at least did no harm.
The crops cultivated were winter
wheat and winter rye in the spring.
Then in due time we also cultivated
spring wheat, oats, barley. emner or
speltz, Canadian field peas, stock
beets. corn. millet. sorghum and pota-
toes. A twelve-foot thrse-row spring
tooth riding weeder with lever was
used. This lever enables the driver
to control the depth Of cultivation. A
common steel drag harrow will take
the place of weeder as a cultivator
provided the teeth are sharp and set
slantingly. Judgment must be used on
some soils as to how early this work
should be begun. One can get onto
the crop too soon and thus tear out
considerable of the growing grain.
which is entirely unnecessary.
The main thing is to see that the
crops have good roots and If the work
is properly done, very little II any
tearing out will occur. but the work
will surely get ri" of thousands OF
weeds, as well as stimulate the crop
besides making the soil In better con
dition to conserve and receive mois'
ture. We know the cultivation Of corn
is necessary and pays. Then why
not cultivate cereals? In fact all crops
grown in arid and semi-arid countries
should be cultivated. Due considera
ton should be given the grain crop in
an abnormally wet season, for cult
walton under these conditions is moi
SO extremely essential.
A great deal more Importance
should be attached to this cultivation
than there is. The weeder gives the
farmer a greater margin of time t.
do this work because 1t enables hin
to get onto taller grain and he car
control the depth he wishes to cult
vate. The weeder is of light draft ant

area in a day. The common stee
drag harrow can be used and IL ~er!

POULTRY NOTES.

Winter-hatched chickens are the
best layers.
No expensive apparatus is required
to raise geese.
Never breed from yearling turkeys:
select two-year-olds.
Never breed from late-hatched tu-
keys, If 1t is possible to get better.
Not only is the demand for eggs In
creasing, but also for chicken meat.
Much of the mortality among little
chicks is due to their being fed too
soon.
Instead Of being overdone, the poul-
try business is scarcely growing fast
enough.
Don't overfeed the first week of fat
tening. Rather feed lightly three
times day.
The food In the chick when Matched
will be fully assimilated and digested
in As hours.
All things considered, there still re-
mains plenty of room for all in the
poultry business.
In making up ration 1t is import.
ant that 1t contains food that the
fowls will eat readily.
Cornmeal, meat and potatoes are
three of the most valuable ingredinnts
in the fattening bill Of fare.
There are three things necessary tc
successful turkey raising, good stock
proper feeding and good care.
Free range chickens are never SC
tender for roasting as those with lin
tied range and fed on pure feed.
When flock does not produce a.
fertile eggs as It should, the best re m
edy is to introduce new blood by buy
ing males from farm range flock
Some folks are forever planni 4,

ures the hens and their broods ar

area enough live stock should be kept
to pay most of the running expenses
of the farm. Hay and pasturage are
very short in such areas and conse'

grown to supply, first, the work horses
with roughage during the winter, II
