Farming as a Science. Continued from First page. other with beans. They are harvested in July. The buckwheat follows them and is harvested along about October. The supply of filtered water varies according to the need of the soil. If the earth is very rich the plant grows very rapidly, and as the water escapes through the leaves more of it is required than when the soil is poor. Knowledge of the amount of water to be given is derived by ascertaining that 66 per cent of the total amount necessary to saturate the soil is used by the plant. The maximum degree of saturation is discovered by taking samples of the earth, filling them with water until no more can be held, and then after weighing them the difference between that amount and the figure reached when they have been air-dried gives the result desired. Some soils will take 100 per cent of their own weight—that is to say, they will hold water equal in weight to their own dry weight. These are mostly clay soils, although rich, loamy, organic soil will hold 150 to 200 per cent of water, or double its own bulk. The best soil is the virgin prairie earth, never touched by plow or harrow; that has lain covered by grass since the beginning. It is found in the West—in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Iowa and States near by, where the earth is particularly rich in available nitrogen and organic matter that furnishes plenty of food for leguminous plants. It is generally dark or black in color, and nowadays, but little of it is to be found. Science is doing a good deal in the farmer's interest, Mr. Wilson says. "It has learned a secret that has given a new impetus to the beet sugar industry and this means that we are going to make a great deal more beet sugar. It means also that the United States Government is quietly adopting a new and more vigorous policy in agricultural science. "There's a new era in store for the farmers of the United States, and those of New York and the Mississippi Valley in particular. It will be the new-fashioned farmer who will bring it about. He is the Moses of modern agriculture. "The farmer of the future," said Mr. Wilson, "must be a practical scientist. The man who does not understand the science of the soil has no business on the farm. If a boy wants to be a farmer, it is as necessary that he take a course at an agricultural college as it is to a boy who wants to be a lawyer, a doctor, a preacher to have a universal education. "The great need of the agricultural college has been instructors who could instruct. Why, out in Iowa, we could send to Chicago and get a carload of thing. Now, what should be done is to study the science of the soil so as to know how to supply the water, and in what quantity. If scientific reasoning had been employed in the beginning, this land would not have been comparatively worthless today. "The new-fashioned farmer, the scientific farmer, must study the feeding of cattle. Not a pound of cotton seed was fed to the 400,000 cattle we exported last year, although the South raised 600,000 tons of it. That cotton seed was mostly wasted, or made fertilizer of. Think what it might have amounted to if it had been fed to beef cattle! The trouble with the farmer is that he doesn't know how to make the best of what he has, and he has got to learn the science of agriculture to know how."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat. AMMUNITION PLENTY There was Enough Left After Dewey's Victory at Manila to Fight Six Other Battles. The ordnance bureau of the navy department has settled by recourse to figures a very interesting question concerning the fighting efficiency of Dewey's ships in the battle of Manila bay. Just before Dewey started from Hong Kong for Manila it was generally reported that his ships had a very small allowance of ammunition. This, however, was not true, as the Baltimore, which reached Hong Kong the day before the American squadron left there for Mirs bay to prepare for meeting the Spanish fleet, brought an ample supply of powder, projectiles and fixed ammunition. After the engagement with the Spanish fleet had lasted about two hours the American ships were withdrawn to a sheltered part of Manila bay for the purpose of taking account of ammunition. Dewey sent up a signal from the Olympia asking how much ammunition each ship had left. The signal was misunderstood. The captains of the American ships took it for a question as to the amount of powder and shell they had expended in the fighting, and each vessel reported "about 15 per cent." Dewey was alarmed until further signalling developed that "about 15 per cent" had been expended, leaving 85 per cent in the magazines, enough to fight at the previous rate of expenditure for 11 hours more. The ordnance officers have been examining the detailed reports from the ships engaged in the fight, giving the amount expended by each during the entire period of the engagement, and have made a careful computation, which has given the surprising result that The great need of the agricultural college has been instructors who could instruct. Why, out in Iowa, we could send to Chicago and get a carload of chemists, if we wanted to pay the money for them, but we could not find a man who could teach the science of making butter and cheese. The Government can endow agricultural colleges—the more that is done the better—but it cannot furnish instructors, because there have not been any. We are going to give a few young men a chance at the department to learn the scientific features of instruction in agriculture, but we can only help a few. The only way these instructions can be made is through the agricultural colleges. We don't want students taught the theory, but we want the practical facts put before their eyes. There is no lesson as good as an object lesson. The boy who sees experiments in dairying carried on from day to day knows when he sees the results how it all came about—and it is not because some one else told him it is thus and so. He knows the science of dairying and has been taught it in the most practical way. The dairy farmer of the United States is going to be a great factor in the future. He is a factor at present, to be sure, but nothing to what he will be, and I tell you why—because we have learned the secret of Denmark's butter and cheese keeping so well in tropical climates. The farmers of New York State and those of the Mississippi valley make as good butter as is produced anywhere. Denmark makes good butter. We send our butter to China and cannot compete with the butter of Denmark. Why? Because it won't keep. There is a splendid market in the Orient, but we are shut out of it practically, because our butter will not stand exportation to that sort of a climate. Mind you, in all other places we never had any trouble, but the minute we struck the tropics with butter and cheese it was very different. It is in everything that the farmer has to cultivate and grow that the reason for his being an agricultural scientist is found. If he knows the reason why things don't grow or do grow, or his crops are large or small, he gains a wisdom that will help him to increase his crops the next year, and so make his income greater. The scientific farmer has a better chance of making a big income than any farmer ever had. But the man who insists on following the old-fashioned methods of never learning anything that his father did not know, is going to have trouble to make both ends meet. There is no place that the farmer needs to apply scientific methods more than out West, where they irrigate their lands. I am going to have that matter thoroughly looked into. Hundreds of acres of fine land are being ruined because the men who irrigate them do not understand the scientific facts about it. They let too much water run on the land; this brings the alkali to the surface, and the result is that there is no use trying to grow any farmers of the United States, and those of New York and the Mississippi Valley in particular. It will be the new-fashioned farmer who will bring it about. He is the Moses of modern agriculture. "The farmer of the future," said Mr. Wilson, "must be a practical scientist. The man who does not understand the science of the soil has no business on the farm.

Riches without health are a curse, and yet the rich, the middle classes and the poor alike have, in Hood's Sarsaparilla, a valuable assistant in getting and maintaining perfect health. It never disappoints. Scrofula—"Three years ago our son, now eleven, had a serious case of scrofula and erysipelas with dreadful sores, discharging and itching constantly. He could not walk. Several physicians did not help for sixteen months. Three months' treatment with Hood's Sarsaparilla made him perfectly well. We are glad to tell others of it." Mrs. David Laired, Ottawa, Kansas. Nausea—"Vomiting spells, dizziness and prostration troubled me for years. Had neuralgia, grew weak and could not sleep. My age was against me, but Hood's Sarsaparilla cured me thoroughly. My weight increased from 125 to 143 pounds. I am the mother of nine children. Never felt so well and strong since I was married as I do now." Mrs. M. A. Watkins, 1529 $3d St., Washington, D.C. Eczema—"We had to tie the hands of our two year old son on account of eczema on face and limbs. No medicine even helped until we used Hood's Sarsaparilla, which soon cured." Mrs. A.

The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who has had an attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by P. A. Derge. Township Salaries. An important decision has been rendered by Superior Judge Buckles of Solano county, affecting the salaries of township officers throughout the State. The case was that of Justice of the Peace Kalber of Rio Vista township vs. County Auditor Wooderson, suit being brought to compel the Auditor to draw a warrant in favor of the plaintiff for $55, alleged to be due for one month's salary. When Kalber assumed office he was entitled to but $30 a month salary, but the population of the township having increased, he claimed increased compensation, according to the terms of the County Government Act, fixing salaries of officials according to a classification of townships based upon their population. The plaintiff contended that the constitutional provision against increasing the salary of an official while in office did not apply to his case, for the reason that the Constitution does not specify township officers, mentioning only city, town and municipal officials. The court held that this contention was not valid, and the constitutionmakers clearly intended to include township officers in the same category as those enumerated. The demurrer to the complaint was therefore sustained. An Epidemic of Whooping Cough. Last winter during an epidemic of whooping cough my children contracted the disease, having severe coughing spells. We had used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy very successfully for croup and naturally turned to it at that time and found it relieved the cough and effected a complete cure—JOHN E. CLIFFORD, Prop. Norwood House, Norwood, N.Y. This remedy is for sale by P. A. Derge. Mrs. Lydia Craft, of Larwood, Linn Co., Orton writes: "I was sick for a long time with femalest trouble but paid little attention to it until last winter; I miseried and this left in a very weak dition. I grew w nervous and despotic. I had such an agreeable feeling my head; my knee was hot and painful. I had bearing down pains and my bely hurt me all the time. I could not do any work and could no sleep. I tried so patient medicine I got no relief. I wished to see the best doctor in Lebanon. He said I had inflammation of the feminine gans.

Ballou in Due South,anken wreck is pointed out, parly visible at low tide, not far from shore. Only the ribs and stanchions still held together by the stout keel cars and lower sheathing. This bark has lain here unheeded for years, what a story these old timbers tell had they only a tongue with which to give voice to their experience generally the experience of ages." Reference is made to the remains of Old St. Paul, one of the ships of the Spanish armada that Philip II to England in 1588, being one of very few of that famous flotilla escaped destruction at the time. At a historical memento is the old bark. After a checkered career, in which ancient craft had breasted waves of innumerable seas and stood the storms of nearly three centuries, she was burned to the waistedge here in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, few years since and sunk, where remains now lie, covered with slime barnacles—a striking emblem of nation whose flag she once proudly—New York Tribune. The "Wicked" Lonsdale. A meeting of the Poor Clergy Resociety in London a story was told Bishop Waldegrave of Carlisle and nicked" Lord Lonsdale. The bishop well, and on his going up to Lowcastle Lord Lonsdale admired his and his management of it. The bishop pleaded the cause of a clergyman rich on £40 a year, whose well-worn wife took in tourists' washing and to their scanty income. Bishop Lonsdale said: "Everybody on me as a very sinful man, be all possible hope of salvation. You spoken to me as a gentleman; you spoken to me like a good servant; the great head of the church; you spoken to me encouragingly about salvation of even my poor soul; you pleaded the cause very nobly for young clergyman. Here is my book. Put down what you like, will sign it." The bishop said, "No; that is a mat-butween God and you." Bishop Lonsdale gave the bishop a gift for £10,000 and afterward two other checks for £20,000 for poor people of the diocese of Carlisle.

Local applications may furnish temporary relief, but to CURE the disease it is necessary to treat it through the blood. Locomotor Ataxia is a disease of the nerves. The one successful method of treatment is by a remedy that will restore nutrition to the nerves. Such a remedy is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People These pills are a specific in cases of Rheumatism, Locomotor Ataxia, Paralysis, and other diseases of the blood and nerves, because they supply the necessary elements to build up the blood and strengthen the nerves. It is in this way that the pills effect so many cures in diseases of apparently widely different character. Frank Long, who lives near Lenon, Mich., says: "I was first taken with a pain in my back. The physician pronounced my case muscular rheumatism, accompanied by lumbage. My disease gradually became worse until I thought death would be welcome release. "I was finally induced to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Before the first box was used I could get about the house, and after using five boxes was entirely cured. Since that time I have felt no return of the rheumatic pains. Am confident that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my life." Frank Long. Sworn to before me at Venice, Mich., this 15th day of April, 1868. G.B. GOLDSMITH, Justice of the Peace. Edwin R. Tripp, Postmaster of Middlesfield Centre, N.Y., said: "I was attacked by what I learned was locomotor ataxia. Two skillful doctors did everything they could for me. I became worse, could not move even about the room. I did not expect to live very long. "The turning point was a newspaper article. It told how a man, who had suffered as I, had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I took two boxes of the pills; then four more boxes. My pain was steady; my return to health was a source of daily gratification. In all I took eighteen boxes of the pills before I was entirely well. I owe my cure entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Subscribed and sworn to before me, Homer Hanna, Notary Public. Anaheim Bakery, PETER SYRE, PROPRIETOR.

In 1712 Louis XIV favored the Opera, then established in the first salle of the Palais Royal (there have been two) with a special mansion for the better accommodation of its administration, archives and rehearsals. This hotel is situated in the Rue Nicaise. The building was generally designated under the name of "Magasin," whence the term "Filles du Magasin" (not "de magasin") subsequently not only to the female choristers and supers, but the female dancers themselves. It so happened that the king forgot to pay his architects and workmen. In order to satisfy them the Cheylier de Bouillon conceived the idea of giving balls in the opera house, for which idea he received an annual pension of 6,000 francs. He was paid, but the king's debtors were not, for although the letters patent were granted somewhere about the beginning of 1718, not a single ball had been given when the most magnificent of the Bourbon sovereigns descended to his grave. One day, shortly after his death, d'Argenson, the then lieutenant of police, was talking to Louis' nephew, Philippe d'Orleans, the regent. "Monseigneur," he said, "there are people who go about yelling that his majesty of blessed memory was a bankrupt and a thief.

THE COOL GAMBLER. HOW HE BETS, WINS AND LOSES AT MONTE CARLO. Scene by Night In the Great Gilded Den at Monaco—Tempting Pickle Fortune as a Cold Blooded Business Transaction—A Lucky English Couple. Not to see the gambling rooms at Monte Carlo by night would be to miss the grand show of the place. There are not people enough in the town to make up the crowds that press through the corridor and the atrium in the evening. They come in trains from all the neighboring places—from Cannes, Nice, An Remo, Mentone, sometimes from as far as Genoa. People ride down from Paris, 20 hours in the rapide, just for a little "shy" at the tables. All outside as bright as day, though chilly. When I set out for the casino, I came upon a young English couple standing near the big fountain, discussing something with great earnestness. They were good looking, well dressed, with something of an air of a bridal couple. That became of them at the moment I did not notice, and inside I stood for a few minutes watching the roulette tables. Ten minutes later I went into the entrance et quarante room and met them just inside the big arched doorway. They were on their way out. Her rosy cheeks were rosier than before, and her nose was wreathed in smiles. He was bright radiant and looked "very fit," as he Londoners say.

It took no great crowdiness to see that for ten minutes they had been leading active, industrious lives and had reaped the reward of industry and virtue and were getting it of the place before they were tempted to try again and lose. One elderly gentleman was at the moment doing the leading business in that room and attracting the most attention by risking ten 1,000 franc notes (2,000) at every dealing of the cards. He was particularly interesting to me, because he was beyond doubt an American. He was a fine-looking man, with gray hair, iron gray beard, well trimmed, a shrewd eye that watched every move the dealer made, and of course in the regulation black evening clothes. His face showed him to be a man who had made his money, not inherited it. Think that lumber was the foundation his fortune in the northwest some- CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

Telephone—296 One elderly gentleman was at the moment doing the leading business in that room and attracting the most attention by risking ten 1,000 franc notes (2,000) at every dealing of the cards. He was particularly interesting to me, because he was beyond doubt an Ameri- He was a fine looking man, with gray hair, iron gray beard, well trimmed, a shrewd eye that watched every move the dealer made, and of course in the regulation black evening clothes. His face showed him to be a man who had made his money, not inherited it. Think that lumber was the foundation of his fortune in the northwest somewhere, but long enough ago to give him one to have the sawdust brushed out of his clothes, for he was very smooth and well groomed. Not a word was said around the table, so there was no chance to hear what language he spoke. He was one of those men who would look at all out of place leading aayer meeting, but who might be de-ended upon for a ready revolver if he caught the dealer at any foul play. The notes came out of one of his vest pockets, but not carelessly. There was one of the usual effort to look as if taking $2,000 every three minutes was everyday affair with him. He did everything with caution, always deliberating over what square he should lay his money upon, and sometimes changing it to some other square after he had did it down. But whether he won or lost, he showed no emotion whatever. He won oftener than he lost while I matched him, putting the winners always into the same vest pocket. At one time the banker made a mistake in ducing a pile of his notes that had him, but this did not bring a word from him. His eyes were open, and instead picking up the pile he merely pushed back toward the banker, which was sufficient hint for a recount. When the mistake was corrected and the missing note supplied, he added the pile to the big jump in his pocket. Like almost every player around the ante et quarante tables, he was there mostly for business. It was not a few dollars laid on for the novelty of the game, but a deliberate speculation in the hope of winning. My experience of gambling houses is fortunately rather limited, but I have seen the big places Saratoga and Long Branch and one two in New York and some very large ones in Cuba and Mexico. Never have I seen such a businesslike air in my gambling room as there is here. You may not be wicked enough to know that generally a great deal of smoking and drinking and some eating go with dishonable gambling, but that is the case. The sideboard is almost as necessary as the tables, and George and Sam and Henry are kept busy carrying ampagne and cocktails to the thirstyayers. This is pure business with one house," even where these things are not charged for, for does not a man come the more reckless the more alcohol he absorbs? But there is none of that here. There no smoking in the rooms, and no drinks are served at the tables. As far as I have seen, there is no place in the main building where drinks can be sold, though possibly there may be some dry corners that I have not discovered. As much a business house as a wholesale dry goods store, and the profits are larger for the firm. This sees it a very particle of interest in the Pacific Coast Steamship Co.

A young lady of the east end had just arrived several proofs of different styles photographs of herself and had kept him until the usual semiweekly visit her best gentleman friend. He was actual in arriving that night, but he never imagined that it was to be his call for an indefinite period. He had no sooner seated himself in parlor than the young lady brought the photographs for his inspection.ooked them over very carefully and only selected the only one of the seven pictures showing a hat on the subway. It was a pretty big hat and beautifully trimmed. The piece of millinery right his eye at first glance, and he innocently remarked: "I think this is the best photograph. That is so pretty. It is a very fine piece of the hat." The young man did not notice his error until too late.
