White Man Cannot Endure Its Seen'
or Taste—Blacks Like It.
After Transvaal tobacco, but a long
way after, comes Bo?r The name Is
in reality nowadays a misnomer, says
South Africa, for this tobacco Is grown
largely In Natal and Cape Colony It
Is also cultivated in the Orange River
colony, is sold by the ro.'I and can be
obtained for about $8 a pound If
,wbole roll is purchased. It is also scld
toy the sack.
White men buy these sacks, but they
do not smoke the contents themselves;
they use It to reward the Kaffir serv-
ants for working overtime, or doing
any other meritorious action. The
taste for Trar.svaal tobacco is an ac-
quired one, It also takes a certain
time before a man gets used to the
.scent. No white man who has come
from a distance has so far lived long
enough to acquire a liking for either
the taste or the smell, but It has Its
uses in the case of the natives, and it
*s also useful if you have an unde-
sirable visitor who you are anxious to
iget rid of. OfTer him a pipe of Boer
^tobacco and he will never enter your
home again.
The traders purchase this weed
largely; they also use it upon the
r.atlves In the shape of presents, as
f-'very Kaffir who makes a purchase In
a country store always asks for a free
;rlft and the competition to secure the
Inative trade is so acute that the re-
'quest cannot be refused.

think of my father. You see, it's this

inquiry which flashed to his compan-
ion's face; "my father was Jackson

mother, who was only a beautiful, Ig-
norant mountain girl. When I was
six years old he deserted us. Mother

ways to make her life more easy.
That s why I didn't leave the moun

stopped for a moment, and then went
on harshly. "Do you wonder that I

asked.
"Eighteen years. 1 was six, and

"No wonder you and I resemble
each other, Jake," he said; "we are

upon his companion s shoulders and
searched his face. "You have been
laboring under a mistake," he went
on, "there never was a nobler and

Scotland Leads as Land of Twins.
Scotland is the land of twins and
triplets, holding a long lead over her
sister countries in this matter. In
twelve months no fewer than 1.625
mothers gave birth to twins, and
twenty five presented triplets. Scot-
land Is among the few countries in
Europe where the proportion of male
babies is greater than of females.
Striking an average, it is found that
there are about 104 males to every
100 females, but the surplus of grown-
up girls is nevertheless large, as so
many men travel south, and apparent-
ly neglect to take the precaution to

right much to Meta and her family.
"Jake!" The voice had a ring in
it which caused the two men to look
squarely into each other's eyes. Then
they clasped hands. "You remember
what you said about not caring for a
woman who could love any one better
than you. I honestly prefer to seek
Meta as a poor man. Now help me
t>et ready to start."
"I'll be glad to see yonr folks, Mr.
Lane." Jake answered. "Your side
of the family is all the kin I have
now. As you say, we'll fix up about
the money there."
A week later, after being taken Into
a home the like of which he had never
diearned, and among people that made
bis heart beat pleasantly merely to
know that they were of his kin, Jake
went to a lawyer and had a paper
drawn, which he gave to his uncle.
"Just a paper settling things up Ilk®
your son 'lowed was right. He said
jou all couldn't use my money Just
because it was mine; so being of his
blood I can't use any that ain't mine.

where it belongs."
'But we cannot—"
"Oh. yes. you can. It's yours by
rights. I wish you had part of mine.
Seems like I've got the whole Govern,
ment resting on my shoulders.:"
The next day Mr. Lane sought Jake.
"I suppose you will stay hero
while," he said. "I am going to tak6
a run back to the mountains."
His hand was on the door. He was
thinking of a girl In a little cottage
on the other side of the Blue Ridge.
I Jake understood his Impatience, and
a graynesa drove some of the new
hope from his face, leaving more of
the harsher lines of strength and de-
termination.
I "Yes. I'll stay a while," he replied.

| Mr. Lane had the door half open
now, and Jake rose suddenly.
"I—I wish you good luck," he salff
huskily.
Twenty four hours later he received
a telegram, it was brief and read:
"Another big mistake, Jake. It is
you. not I. This afternoon I start for
Florida on a short trip."

Father Was Laid Up.
Arthur Hill and Joseph Schrode of
"The Wizard of Oz" company chanced
to drop In at a small shooting gallery
In Providence last week, where they
ppent an hour peppering the bull's-
eye and winning innumerable cigars.
The place was presided over by-
pretty girl and a decrepit old man
man whom she called "Father." As
Arthur Hill does not Indulge In the
pernicious smoking habit, he handed
back all the cigars he won for his un-
erring aim ami said to the girl, "Give
them to the old man."
The next day Hill and 8chrode
■were strolling past the same place,
and they noticed that the girl was on
duty alone, but the old man was miss-
leg.
"I guess father smoked them,"
marked Hill, laconically.
Experimental Plots.
I must acknowledge that I have
been slow In taking advantage of my
opportunities. I farmed the old p!acei
for many years without attempting to,
find out what it needed In the way o^
fertilizer. In fact, I robbed a part ot
the farm and kept up another part
and did not know what I was doing.
I used to haul out the manure every;
spring and put It all onto the fields
In which I grow potatoes and corn.'
That was very good for those parti-
cular fields, but was a little hard on
the land that did not get any of thei
manure. I put it on the same fields'
every year because I believed that'
every year the corn and potatoes
took out all I put on. I am now satis-
fled that there was a residue left that
was not really needed on those fields
and would have been paying me bet*
ter Interest had it been put on some
of the fields that have never had any
barnyard manure.
In attending a farmers' Institute I
heard the matter of experimental plots
discussed and thought I would try
one on some of the poorest parts of
toy farm. I measured off two acres
and put no fertilizer on one and var-
ious kinds of fertilizers on tho other:
in strips. I left the first ncre for a
check. I put on the other acre about
1,000 pounds of lime and some phos-,
phates, and a strip on that acre was
treated with nitrogen and another
with both phosphorus and nitrogen in
a commercial form.
The results were remarkable, and !>
have since been wondering why I did
not do it before. I found that the
phosphorus and nitrogen were both
deficient. I made an application per
acre of about 150 pounds of bone meal
on a forty-acre field and put on some
barnyard manure, enough to give a
little more nitrogen and humus to
each acre.
It is astonishing how we will run
along in the same rut for many years
and never think of what is and what
might be, till we have an object les-
son that brings the truth home to us.
I am but Just beginning to teach my-
self by the help of experimental plots
and I Intend to continue the good
work.

Seed Corn in the Ear.
A circular letter sent out Irom the
Ottawa, Canada, station, says:
The cost of the small quantity of
seed corn that is required to plant an
acre, in comparison with the cost for
labor in cultivating and handling and
the ultimate value per acre of a good
crop, would seem to make it clear
that the best available seed of the
most satisfactory type and variety
should be obtained at any reasonable
cost. It would be much better for
Canadian farmers if they were able to
obtain their supplies of seed corn in-
the ear; they would then nave a fair
Idea of what they were getting. While
in the ear, the danger of injury to
the vitality of the seed from damp
and its after effects Is reduced to a
minimum. Corn that is shelled by a
machine and left in sacks for six
weeks or more will seldom germinate
more than 75 per cent, unless the.
conditions for storage have been ex
ceptionally good. The average vital-
ity of seed corn, tested in the seed,
laboratory last year, were, for corn,
received In the ear, 95 per cent. an<t
for shelled corn 68 per cent. It Is
much to be recommended then that,
wherever possible, farmers obtain
their supplies of 3eed corn in the eati
only. To meet the demand for seed
corn in this condition growers would
do well to adopt the style of shipping
crate that is used for this purpose la
the states of Iowa and Illinois. This
crate is two feet nine inches long, one*
foot wide, and one foot deep, and la
made of half Inch lumber three inches
in width. Its capacity is one bushel,
or between one hundred and one hun-
dred and twenty ears. If the corn
can be planted in hills, this crate will
hold sufficient seed for five acres.
While it Is true that there may b©
some additional cost for freight, oil
account of the weight of the cob and
of the crate, and that extra work la
required in shelling the corn, these-
become Insignificant when the differ-
ence in value between an acre of
good matured corn and an acre of un-
satisfactory corn is considered.
No Cabbage Snake.
Recently an absurd fear has devel
oped in the minds of some eaters of
cabbages relative to the so-called "cab-
bage snake." The superstition Is that
the snake poisons tho cabbages and so
renders them unfit to eat. The exist-
ence of such a creature is denied by
our scientists, but so prevalent is the
belief that at leaat one experiment sta-
tion has issued a circular denying the
existence of the so-called snake. In
some parts of the country a small
whitish "eel-worm" has been found to
Infest cabbages. The larvae of this
worm prey upon the common green
cabbage worm and hence are doubu
less a benefit rather than a detriment
to tho cabbage-growing Industry.
Some of the more superstitious people
in the South Imagined that these!
worms poisoned the cabbages, and^
tests were made by scientific people
to clear up the matter. Extracts
were made from the worms and In-
jected Into the human system. These
Injections failed to produce the leaat
effect. It la therefore considered that
the character of the little worm haa
been cleared of the accusation.
