OsawAtomie, Kan., April 9.—An aerolite fell near this town yesterday afternoon, striking the monument ot John Brown, or better known as“Os awatomie Brown,” as he was some times called, erected to him by private subscription, originated by Horace Greeley in 1863. The meteor broke off the lelt arm of the statue and p*ss ed through the dome and nave in 2 slightly southeasterly direction and through six feet of clay just west of the crypt, stopping only at bed rock. Experts say the aerolite is composed ot pelium, a metal known to exist onlv in the sun. Commenting upon President Cleve land’s over-run of work the Atlanta Herald says: Mr. Cleveland is workiog himself to death. From early dawn to late at night he is beseiged by the hungry horde, and for absolutely no good. We see that a few nights ago he sat up ti!l 3 o’clock trying 10 keep up wi*li his work. It is useless wearing out one man who is to shape the great ideas of the 'government and making of him an overworked clerk. The new railroad from Japa to Je rusalem is only fifty-three miles long. Passenger trains make seventeen miles an hour. The rails came from England, the ties from France, the engines from Philadelphia, the cars from France and the heavy work was done by Arabs and Egyptians. The road is not likely to yield a profit f jr a long time to come. The republican papers are charging that Cleveland is giving too many offices to the south.

Secretary Smith laid dowu the law in positive term3 to an Oklahoma delegation which called on him the other day with a candidate for Uuited States marshal. The secretary asked htm'if he-was a resident of the territo ry, and, oq being answered in the negative, said: •‘ThenT will not recommend yon, sir.. We of the south have suffered too much from carpetbaggers to in flict such -a . scourge oa the ‘west There "may be need of some excep tions^ in a new territory, but I will not make them till I have found that the territory does not contain a : resi dent competent to hold office." By hokey, Hoke Smith is . going or the sca-ps of the republicans. A dispatch from Waslurgton .says:. In Secretary Hoke Smith’s department there is activity. The secretary has his shop iu hand. He knows just about where to lay his band on each one of his 5,000 employes. The meteorological conditions of his office for some days past has not made the republicans happy. Here and there the ax has fallen and a score of heads are to the basket this evening. 'What ever may be satd of Secretary Smith, he has outstripped all of his brother cabinet members in enlisting a dem ocratic crew for his craft. It is pre dicted that he will have a lull par.y complement by Christmas. The preparations for the President’s trip to Chicago involve nothing more than an arrangement of certain rail way schedules to accommodate the special train. I he extreme simplicity attendant upon the movements of a president of the United States is in marked contrast with the police, mil itary and other precautions deemed essential nowadays whenever a Euro pean ruler may lake a journey by rail. Indeed, few things could serve to il lustrate more sharply the difference between American and European ideas and system; of government than the forthcoming pres dentiil journey. —fcx.

Only six women out of nearly four thousand who were registered in Kan sas City, Kan., voted for the female candidates for mayor.

Upon the recent death of an emi nent English divine at Cannes, the - following bulletin was placed by tbe family upon the floor of his late resi- ' derice: ' ' “Mr. Si*—deputed thjg life for heaven at n o’clock a. ra.” ‘ Some passiufi wag,' possessed of more drollery than reverence, placed beneath the notice a telegraph blank filled out in the following tnanner: •'JIeavln, i m.—Mr. S nor arrived yet Getting uneasy. ’ Send a" tracer. The NeWSTork Advertiser has this to say of Georgia’s eminent senator: “Senator John B. Gordon is now one of the most potent forces in southern politics. This recalls the fact that he has been politically resurrected often er, perhaps, than ai.y man of his prominence in the country. His career has been one of brilliant tri umphs and overwhelming reverses. He looks every inch a soldier, even without the deep scar of a sabre wound upon his face, and is a man of wonderful magnetic qualities. He is iu peace, as in war, a bard fighter —the most devoted of friends and uncompromising of enemies.” Los Angeles, Cal., April 11.- SiDce last Tuesday there have been between forty and fifty 'earthquake shocks in the Pico canon, near New Hall- The Pico canon is in the Sau Fernando mountains and is in the center of the oil region. Last Tues day a severe earthquake, which was felt all over southern California, shook the houses in Pico cannon and very badly frightened the inhabitants. Since then there have been several shocks every day,but these have been confiued to a small area in the moun tains. v Editor Myrick, of Americus, em phatically denies tbe charge that he failed to vote to make Cleveland’s nomination unanimous. Our recollec tion is, that while Mr. Cleveland got but seventeen of Georgia’s twenty* four votes polled, the entire delega tion voted to make the nomination unanimous. Piotection is losing its deadly grip on Pennsylvania. Pattison, Harrity and Black have opened the eye3 of the republicans in that state. Even that rock ribbed republican strong hold shows strong symptoms of cut ting loose from the carcass of the republican party. Frank Stanton has had experience a running a newspaper.

This reminds us that one 'Cyclone Davis, of Texas, who figured in the last campaign, has not been heard from since he collapse. He will hardiy apply to Cleveland lor another pension agency. Hardly. Here is a ebucher irom the Bruns* ick Democrat: ‘‘During the war the Women of the south made their meat and bread at home, while their husbands and sons were ofl iu the army. Now the chil dren of these same women say they caunot raise their own bread. Things mb'hi be improved it the women had a showing again.” The railroad magnates find it hard to understand President Cicvelaud. He pays his own traveling expenses and those oi his family. He is uDder do obligations to corporations. Re publican party presidents were never known to be so extravagant with their salaries,' no matter how freely they ap proved of lavish expenditures of the people’s money.—Savannah Press. That was a wonderful feat listening to a concert in Chicago, while the singing was in Boston. The notes of the singer were distinctly heard over one thousand two hundred and fifty miles of wire. Late developments in the Red wine matter looks as if the bulk of the money went into a railway specula tion, thought to be the Atlanta and Florida had fewer heavy rains, they have been longer continued and there have been many consecutive days when the lands have been too wet to plow. the progress made by the wideawake farmers in the lower portion of the state, both in preparation and planting, is all that could be de sired. but with those of ns living on the red, heavy lands of middle and north Georgia tne delays have been most vex ations, and the exercise of the greatest energy and sound judgment will bo necessary to enable ns to make good this heavy loss of time. I havo repeat edly urged upon my fellow fanners THE NECESSITY OF MORE THOUGHTFUL CAKE AND DISCRIMINATION in the general disposition and character of their crops. I nave urgently advised such a crop division as, with ordinary- seasons, would ensure an abundance of home snpplies, and corn a surplus for a chance purchaser. I have also urged a reduction of the area to be put in cotton. Letters received at the department from intelligent correspondents, and an tended intercouse with the people erally, lead me to believe that this last advice has, to a great extent, been heeded. Ordinarily THE SALE- OF COMMERCIAL FEUTILIREUS reported at this office is an indication of the probable cotton area. . But, while the sales for the present season are fully as large, if not larger, than for the heavy cotton crop of 1891, this fact cannot now be taken ns a certain indication of increased cotton acreage for the reason that the high price of cotton seed has induced many farmers to dispose of their supply and in their place use the com mercial fertilizers under their corn and other crops. It is gratifying to state that there has been an increase in THE AREA DEVOTED TO GRAIN, and thus, if the cotton crop should reach anywhere near the enormous fig ure of 1891, the farmers will in all i ability be better fortified with 1 supplies against the probable low price of their staple crop. Naturally, each fanner considers that he is the best ' ;e as to the line of policy to be pur- in the management or his farm, and in the main he ds correct, because he understands better than any outsider the many difficulties and obstacles which hamper his progress. For this reason he is becoming impatient of tho advice which is so freely bestowed npon him from all directions and often from men whose knowledge of fanning he knows is confined to the mere handling and selling of farm products. Butin underestimating this advice he some times commits a grave error. These have a view of business conditions and a general knowledge of the world’; markets which are denied to the indi vidual fanner. For instance, although the crop of 1892 was a short one, it i now known to business men that in con sequence of labor troubles, the shut tin;, down of the British mills and general stagnation of business, there may be an actual surplus on hand at the end c * " season, ana also that any distnrban the peace of the world, would result disastrously to the cotton market, even a small war clond in Europe, com ing at a critical period might Drove the death knoll to southern prosperity. .

General Pierce Young denies that he is to be married. age be reduced ‘*to the extent necessary to raise all our food aud forago crops and work animals, especially our meat, corn, horses aud mules.” This, he says, will increase the price of tho cotton crop and at the same time diminish tho uses of the proceeds of the crop by a larger reduction in the amount hereto fore applied to buy necessary supplies. In conclusion.the senator says: “After much reflection, upon data collected from all countries adapted to raising cotton. I am satisfied of this painful truth: That-wo'are never, at least in this generation, to have gen erally tho high price for cotton we once had. Cdtton will never, but in experi mental cases and for short periods, be high enough for the - producer to rely npon it. as the means of purchasing sup plies which can be raised at home.” As the repealing of certain obnoxious laws and the enactment of others more favorable must he a slow process, the advice here given appeals to the com mon sense of every thinking man. Wo have it in our power to help ourselves in a great measure, and in spite of un equal laws and low priced cotton, we can raise our own snuplies and thus be come virtually independent of either condition. WHEN THIS TALK reaches the eyes of my farmer friends the main crops will be planted in nearly every portion of the state, or so nearly so that nothing I could say would ma terially chnnge tho plans of even a dozen farmers. But there is still time to in a full quota of smaller crop3—mi sorghum, potatoes, ground peas. Where the preparation has on account of the weather or other drawbacks been hurried or superficial, I would urge the most thorough PLOWING OF THE YOUNG CORN. Work it deeply and closely now and don’t leave it until you have put it in thoroughly good condition in order that the young rootlets will best feel the vigorating influence of sun and air, and can reach out In every direction through the well prepared bed to secure the ~>Iant food essential for the growth and levelopment of the crop. Don’t o look the fact that all tho good"you do your corn in the way of cultivation must be done in a few weeks. By the last of May in southern Georgia, and early in June in tho more northern counties, this work should bo completed. The plowing should be directed accord ing to the character and condition of the soil. Ou light, stfhdy lands, surface culture with a light running sweep or cultivator should be followed, this in order to preserve from injury the little rootlets which will bo found feeding very near tho surface. When weather conditions are very favorable, the cut ting off of these little feeders may not result in material inj'ury, but if the soil becomes dry the injury can never be ful ly repaired. Nature’s laws are most beua- * " md Intel’ possible and carefully observed. To those who carefully study these, she reveals many parent mysteries. The gradual de- lopment of the little leaves from the closely folded bud, tho growth of the plant, the development and maturity of the fruit, are full of interest and are carried on by such unvarying laws, that he who studies and follows them intelli gently will learn to adapt his pi; their requirements. With the human organism, whenever natural laws are disregarded, tho body suffers, and this (s equally true in tho vegetable world. How important then that the farmers should gain information from every pos sible source, and that agriculture, the foundation of all national prosperity, should be fostered and encouraged, not only by the government, but by every known agency within the roach of every citizen of our common wealth. It is for the special study of these question tlis at the experiment stations in the different states have been established, and here can be carried on* investigations- which aro too intricate or too expensive for tho ability’ of the ordinary farmer, but the results of which aro of incalulablo bene fit to each individual; worth to the ag gregation of farmers thousand of dol lars, and to the country at large, pros perity or the reverse, according as the farmers study and profit by them. It is THE DUTY OF EACH FARMER to examine and study these reports, for unless they manifest an interest in and appropriate tho benefits of these experi ments, the object in establishing these stations .will be defeated. A proper ap preciation of this work will do much to revive our declining industry, infuse new life into our methods and broaden and deepen our agricultural kuowled; conditions;; I .f5S£?fSST~\i&5& QPSBs thojpatloak for fair crorfo wili U ; SKSfS sa!t “VSES rormsrs throughout tho stata will have arranged for plenty of homo supplies, even should the cotton crop be a large-one, for homo supplies assured, be cotton high or low, means .independence. It^_T, Nesbitt, Again when wo EXAMINE CAREFULLY And thoughtfully into the cause uffect- ing our prosperity, we must conclude that an agricultural system which an nually depletes our lands and renders them, with each succeeding year less valuable, less productive, is radically wrong. If we valued these lands as we should, if we realized the absolute ne cessity for each farmer to pursue such a division of crops, such a system of ro tation and cultivation as would keep his lands supplied with vegetable matter, we would in fewer acres given up to briars and old field pines we would have less grumbling and we could reasonably expect a better interest than we at present realize from the large amount of principal locked np in our farms. Various reasons have been assigned for our present unfortunate condition. Some assign our unwise and unfavorable national legislation as the cause, maintaining that the unjust methods of taxation which force the farmer to pay tribnte on all lie posesses. While the h’oldef of Mnds gives no re turn for his millions, shonld be repealed. Bf these laws undoubtedly the heaviest Durden is placed on tjiose least able to bear it. Others attribute tho trouble, in jjjart at lekst, to the entire destruction of our system of labor and the results of A nxining war. Others again claim that tbe introduction of a farm policy, which looks only to the production of one crop, and that of a character which in its cultivation takes from the soil every particle of humes or vegetable matter, must in the end prove the ruin of any agricultural people. Admitting the force of all these arguments it must still bo apparent to any thinking fann er that the duty rests on us as indi viduals to help ourselves as far possible. Let us do what we can personally to make our home conditions more bear able, and then unite .with our neighbors in demanding that we have more liberal laws. ~ a senatorial committee, consisting of men who are themselves engaged in agriculture, with Senator George as chairman, has recently been engaged in investigating the cause of the wide spread agricultural depression, and after months of earnest work, give us their conclusions as follows: “There are causes for this low price coming from legislation now in force; and there are other causes coining from needful legislation yet to be enacted. It is certain, however, that these causes cannot bo remedied in time to affect the price of the cron now abont to be planted, even, indeed, if their force can be entirely destroyed. The cotton farmers miist* therefore, for the present resort to auCBJWpediesor palliatives for low prices n| may come from their own action, independent of le/fislation..

Petition for Charter. GEORGIA—Thomas Crusty: The results from THE EXPERIMENT STATIONS should be given to our farmers the simplest language. All high sounding names and technical Terms should be eliminated wherever aud whenever it is possible. The stations are supposed to oe educators, and when the reports are filled with tables and scientific terms, which only scientists can understand, the station falls short of the work in tended, aud our farmers fail to derive the benefits which they have a right to expect. Let the reports be couched in ihch language that the reading farmer, Who is seeking light and information, Will not become involved in a inazt of technicalities and give up the effort in disgust. Tho completo experiment of giving plant food to the crops at differ ent periods of their growth, involves not Only too great risk and expense for the ordinary farmer, but is one which calls for extra work at a time when he can- not very well afford it. But if this ex periment is made for him, and the re sult established beyond dispute, he can go ahead with the certainty of knowl edge porn, not of his own experience, but of those whose duty it is, and who are paid by the government to establish correct methods. Exneri meats at various Stations have established tho fact that In most cases the best results aro ob tained when the fer .dizer is applied at the time tho land v- prepared for tho seed, because, w’.lio later applications might, if there was plenty of rain, ma terially increase the yield in case of drought, they would be of little bene fit because tho land would not be moist enough to take them in soluble form to the plants. As wo cannot con trol weather conditions, we cannot take the risk, unless we pan use artificial irri gation. The intelligent use of COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS is of grave importance to the south, and every opportunity of studying this question and of acquiring information which will enable tne farmers to derive the largest returns from this inoistant Shonld be afforded hiim The wiso ap plication of these prepared manures, with a judicious system of rotation, means increased yields and a gradual restoration of elements which enter into the structure of oar cultivated crops and of which onr lands have been de prived. Want of information in this line has cost our farmers thousands of dollars, The fertilizers have been put on lands from whioh lias been taken by successive crops, generally, of cotton, all vegetable matter, Tho land in this starved condition cannot utilise the, highly nitrogenous manures, which' have nave been put on it, and the results have been most disappointing. To reap the full benefit of commercial fertilizers the land must first be supplied with httmus, and this con bo done most cheaply by a judicious rotation 6f crops. Wo all understand tb»t when the land has been THOROUGHLY AND DEEPLY PREPARED and subsequent rains have not com pacted the soil, that rapid surface cul ture ia all that la necessary. Butifyouc lands are heavy clay, have not been well prepared or have run together and baked, there ia no speedier or more effective plan than to ran a good har row across your corn and cotton just as if yon intended to destroy your entire crop. Run directly acrossihe rows and while a few plants may Buffer, the geu- eral result wjll bo, most gratifying. The first crop of grass and weeds will bo de stroyed, the soil will bo pulverized and the young plants show tho good effects at once.
