The Wounded_ Antelope. "The stricken deer -fees from the' herd." The terfa is supposed to be poetical,: and may be so; but does anyone know why the deer runs away? A good many years ago when Denver was a hudtlel of shanties and the over land stage was in its glory, the writer of these lines was crossing what was, then represented on the 9.ehool maps. as "The Great American Desert." It was very early in the morning and light, though the sun had not yet risen. when the wazons started. Soon the leader stoppeddn.si.(Lnce, and every one saw on an eminence or "roll" a splen did antelope, standing and looking at the wagons as though surprised. Not a sound was made on either side until the silence was broken by the sharp crack of a rifle. The antelope fell, but only for an instant, and then bounded away. Arrived a: the place where he eell, a little blood was noticed, and, 'rising the "roll," the stricken deer was seen making his way not from, but to the herd, some 40 in number. Then was seen a ratlier curims sight in the early light. Catching sight of the wag on, the whole herd moved away at a ,,mart pace. but not at a panic gait. The wounded annial had reached the berd, i,ut was not wanled; for two or, three bucks made for him, and as long as we watched them chased and horned the poor animal until presumably he rell dead, a feast for the coyotes. For some reason peculiar to antelopes, they wanted no "stricken deer" about and wouldn't have one.-Homeopathic En An linmense Shark. Antone Joseph. an old whaling mate now stationed as cook of the Cornfield lightsiip. Essex. Conn.. hooked the boss shar. of the s, ason on Wednesday of Inst week. The monster measured from nose to tip ofi taill 14 feet 7 inches, and weighed about 500 pnunds. When Mr. Joseph noticed the shark under the .ightship u:arter, hio immediately got out the share fishing tackle and baited the ho.A- with a round of Uncle Sam's mess pork, which ir. Shark very quick ly made a meal of and was towed along side of the sILip. The gafs were hooked on -to him and he was hosted on board.

Valuable Suggestions for Southern Farmers by Professor Massey, of the North Carolina E. periment Station. T has been said that the nature of the cotton crop forbids its neiug grown in a re,-ular farm rotation as is practice: among good far:n ers in sections where money crops are grain and stol1. TiL utter fallacy of the notion that this can be the case with any annual crop has been repeate-.lys town from the :x perience of those who hn.ve brokcn away from 4he o?f time imethod?s of cotton growing, and have shown that cotton fits as weil into an improvinw rotation of crops as nay other of our hoed crops. It is true tha its use in a ro*t:on necesittates a rather longer rotation than where there i; but one hoed crop in the rotation, for where cotton is grown there corn must al ways of necessity be grown also, an. to properly locate two hoed crops -n a rotation, so that both can htve a fair chance for success, involvos a lengthening of the series of crops. This is a matter of no disadvanta7e, however, as it gives more divers:ty to the farming, and opens up more o: portunities for the profitable keening of stock on the cotton farm. We would .lay .it down as a rule that no progressive farmer in the South shon disregard, that two Clean cultitAcle crops should never follow ea:,h other in successive seasons on the same land, unleEs a leguminas crop can be gotten in between them. We will suppose that the farmer in the coast plaia, the true cotton blt. will adopt for his crops cotton, cora and winter oats. Now, the triv i:e ' in a rotation of erops is to so nau his rotation RnI fari intion as tI the largest amonut of the money er cotton, per acre, while steadily creasing the fertility of his soil. 1e will study the art of u,iu, ferti; izers so that he can get by in!au o the rotation he uies, not olyw cost, but a an ata! pronit, the m expensive portion of a high grade tilizer the nilrogen, which w-hea purcha&. 1 in the iartet co.stano than turee times pcr pound w'u ;::e potash and phosphoric a-id ct. -I he farms without sush ae : rotation, in the old one crop pl. :. h mut buy the nitrogen, and maus t'Is be handictpped in growing cotton la competition with a neighbor, who farms while he plants, with the at e I1 cost in the crop of the nitrogen his neighbor makes a protit in getting from the air while he pays a heavy price for it on the market. It is easy to see then that while his neighb:or may find a margin of profit in the "ot ton crop, he may at the same 1rc lose money in the culure, an i ot only lose money on the crop, but ad that his land is growing poorer and poord.r at the same time. And thi's is today the condition of the great m c of cotton growers of the South At lantic cotton country. Now let us assume that the farmer is going to get out of this destractive system,cr ratu er lack of any system, and that he sides cotton. And he is not going to do this because of some misty notion that he has that he should diversit his crops, and grow some other thing besides cotton, just in the same wa thct he has been growing cotton.,u that he has determined to use te other crops as a meens toward the development of his land for the more profitable culture of cotton. Hec is not going to grow a lot of corn this year so as to be able to say that he has grown enough to iast for say eral years while he grows cotton, buit he is going to use these extra crops as any business man would use the stocli he has for sale-to help pay his -x penses. He will get ria forever of the idea thati his cotton is the u:iy thing to get money out of, but will turn all his surplus of any kind. into money, and thus tend toward the a: e ing of the cotton crop a surplus erop) for profit. The change from apat ton which has been run for years in the single crop of cot ton until it will only bring cotton by the appii- on of a complete fertilizer, to a form~ where a variety of crops are grown in a systematic manner, cannot be done all at once unless the owner has a suir plus cash capital. But it can be Ooue gradually by any man of industry and perseverance. The one thing which our people need to learn is the value of concentration in farming, and to realize that a few acres heavily fer tilized and well cultivated will give more profit than many lightly dressed and scratched over. If, therefore, the man who wishes to change his practice will drop off about half th area he usually cultivates in the cot ton crop and use on the remainder all the fertilizer he has been accustomed to use on the whole, he will have a fair chance to make more clear money than he would on the whole, for t-he extra dose of fertilizer will not only give him a better crop of~ the staple, but will also hicil) in the adoption of the rotation we prpose. We will suppose that he does so, and in August, on his welt caltivated and enriched acres hesrows al among his cotton seed of orimison clover at rate of fifteen pounds per acre, and if hy any means he c'-n a: ford to buy a few hundred pounds of acid phosphate and potash for a top dressing on the clover in the fall hie will be that much further ahead, and the nmoney will be invested where it will pay a better percentage than in bauk stocks. We will assume that ne is~ cioug to keep some stock to a'id to h: profits of his farming and Lo fau s ishi manure to lessen the need ijureaSed fertiizers. The clover tw i give hi:m, if treated as we sugzes, fine crop ot hay in April or Mg wich he will of course save for sico feeding. He can then plow toe stub ile at once and sow the cow peas broadcast, and as soon as well fte with mature nods turn in the ho.:s, for you will surer3v want to ra:se por:: as a matter of food encl prof:t in far., ing, and the hogs will use the peas proitably as they can be used in any other way. After the hogs have r? e ed and grown fiS on thez pear. t-m them oil to finish on corn and pliw the land for winter oat usine on th oats aout 400Q pounds per acre of th 606 pounds of acid phosphate to 100 of muriate of potash, the previous I crops of peas and clover having put an abundance of ammonia in the soil, and paid for the doing of it in fatten ing the 'hogs, so that you are now savdd the cost in the fertilizer. The chances are that you will at once get a heavy crop of oats. As soon as the oats are off sow another crop of peas on the broken stubble to be cut later for hay, and in August all among the peas sow crimson clover again, to be pastured in the fall and winter after the pea vine hay is saved, and kept closely pastured whenever the weather Will permit un til time to prepare it for the cotton crop. By this time there will be alit tle excess of nitrogen for the cotton i crop, and the potash and acid phosphate should be used to balance the ration for the cotton and to insure again a good stand of clover in the cotton. In August all among the cotton sow crimson clover again, and in the win ter haul all the home-made inanure on the clover, and in early spring, as soon as the clover is in bloom, mow it for hay and at once plow the laud for corn, anti do not be afraid to put the plow pi,Ut down deep if your sibosoil 2: e'ar. Cultivate the corn wel, but .illow and do not hill it. After the la-t working sow crimson cl)ver !:eed again, to be cut for hay the follow ing spring and to be followed by yeas in cow hay, and then to be put in or der for oats in the fall and thus repeat I the rotation from year to year. By the time you have gotten around to the cotton on the second rotation you will find that you can grow the crop without buying any fcrtiLizers. and thereafter if you add a fair tupply of :cid phosphate and potash to your pieas and clover, and ime the soil when it comes in corn, you can keep up the soil to a high state of productiveness of the sale crops without direct fer tilization, and if. you feed alt the for a-e grown, you will have enongb . homn-made manure to cover the corn jield every year. Then when you tind that your soil is improving fast, do rot be tempted to put, it all in cttou, b!ut stick to your test and keep up the la.2W.F. M.SsEy. A YICTORY F0R Il E CLUI .

The latest big loa raft experiment on the Pacific coast has proved a great success, the first entire success in the history of such attempts. The raft was built on the Columbia river, and ctntained between six and seven mill ion feet of lumber. It was made of piles so closely bound together that not a timber of the whole great bulk was movable. The raft was started froni Oregon late in July, in tow of the ste-amer Mine,,la, and arrived in San Francisco on Aug. 2, aftpr as smo-th a trip as though it had floated down a plneid river instead of over a con siderable stretch of the Pacific ocean. It would have taken several score of ships to trasport the lumber, and the owners of the raft have cleared some thing over $22.O by the success of the experiment.
