Pilkerton Won the Race.
At one of the regattas of the Na-..
tional Association of American Oars
men during the early nineties James
rilkerton. for many years the chain
pion sculler of. America was matched
to row double against another team J
He and his mate were the champions t
and the general belief was that thej
would win without effort. Hut tin

Mr. Pjlkerton knew that this was not
caused by any new development - ol
strength in his opponent or any loss o-
skill on his own part. After making
some quiet inquiries he discovered that
there wis talk of his rowing mate hav
ing been bought up by the other sid
and of. an arrangement to throw thf
race.
He didn't sny anything about his sus
picions but when the two men won

into the deep water he leaned over t
his mate and said:
"Look here you blooming cutthroat

FARMIXU. AM) SCIENCE.
One of the most healthful and hopeful signs of the times is
the manifest tendency to give more governmental attention .to
those matters which relate to agriculture in Texas.
The area of Texas is so great and there is so much fertile
land in her limits that a.hy kind of slipshod farming would pro-
duce large returns and the result was that most farmers seemed
to see no necessity 'for giving attention to even the primary
elementary principles of fertilization and care of land.
For perhaps half a century- iti many eastern and southern
states fertilizers have been used as a necessity but it is doubtful
whether up to twenty years ago one. farmer In ten in Texas ever
saw an ounce of any kind of manufactured fertilizer.
Then it is a fact known of all men that two-thirds of -the
farming done in Texas has been careless and unscientific and it
has taken thirty years to arouse t lie iuterest of the farmers in
the A. and XI. College and give them confidence in the work be-.-
' Ing done there.
There are yet in Central South and Southwest Texas along
' the Brazos and Colorado rivers and also along the bottoms of
the Trinity many hundreds' of thousands of acres of land that
will never need to be fertilized at least in tlm generation but
there are as' many more elsewhere that" will require fertilization
and now require -it in connection with intensive farming to get
profitable results. . .. .
The average farmer has. been disposed to look with contempt.
'upon nil book rules and educational theories-of farming' but the'
work. of the schools now. is in large 'part devoted to the appli-
cation of the principles' of chemistry to the soil.' ro thereby de-
termine what combination of fertilizing elements will he best
for" each kind of. soil. and. the results speak. for themselves.
It i's a matter of general knowledge that David Dickson the ;
.great Georgia cotton planter so graded up and improved his
cotton seed and and so developed intensive farthing thai he- :
raised as high as three hales of cotton to the acre oh land that
in its natural state was poor. Th.e"sanm can be doue In Texh.
on its poorest land if the same care be exercised and the same
Intelligence he applied to the work that Mr. Dickson applied.
There is .no land used in Texas for fanning purposes as poor
-as the land around the A. and M. College of North Carolina!
which is situated near Raleigh. Such laud .would not he at-
tempted to be used in Texas. yet there are crops grown on it. as
tine as can be found on some of the best land in Texas.
. . The needs of the soil have been studied; the soils have been
ahalized in the college and the proper combination of fertilizing
elements prescribed and on land as white as the paper this is
printed on can. be found cotton today that will produce a. bale to
- the acre.
Another illustration of the benefit of the application of.
science and scientific experiment to farming methods has been
developed in North Carolina. For years and. years it was the
custom to plant peas and leguminous plants and when they
were about to fruit or bloom to plow the whole under as a tonic
and restorative for worn-out land potash in the vines being the
fertilizing element. Scientific tost has proved conclusively that
the mysterious but unerring alchemy of nature gathers all. the.
potash in the form of small balls around" the roots of the peavine.
and it is only necessary to plow the -roots and a small part of
the vine saving the rest for hay.
What the A. and XI. College of North Carolina is doing In
that state of Texas will do for this. The farmers of Texas have
begun to realize that it is time to turn away from haphazard
guesswork and seeii-the aid of science which does not guess but
which with unerring certainty proves the good and discards the .'.
worthless. Hungry exhausted land 'must be fed. and the food
'must be scientifically prepared and administered.

Lavendor Oil.
. As forir-tlfths of the oil extracted
from lavender is concealed In the
bloom the harvest takes place just be-
fore the tlower begins to fade at the
end of August. The oil Is distilled by
means of steam which is compelled to
penetrate the. closely packed lavender
afterward being drawn off In .pipes
that run through cold water. In this
manner the steam is reconverted into
water but the- process of passing
through the lavender has extracted the
oil which floats on the surface of the
water as it runs into glass Jars down
below. These jars have sprouts in the
center thus enabling the water to rim
out while the oil collects above the
! level of the exit. In. this the firt

The Poor Bridegroom.
"Even the English language empha-
sizes the Insignificance of a man at his
own wedding" said the prospective!
bridegroom disconsolately. There Isn't !
an independent word to designate him.
He is merely called the groom of the
bride as if he were just about on aj
level with the bridesmaids and a lit-
tle below the maid of lienor; Best
man of course means the bridegroom's
best man but tlie phrase itself tends to'
exalt this individual at the expense ofj
his superior.
"Theiir there's no adjective to de
scribe what pertains to tlie male half
pf the affair. You can't speak of the'
bridegroomal' trbusers or necktie. On
tlie other hand 'bridal' applies not onlyj
to tlie possessions of the girl but to.
what relates to both of them equally
like the trip and the bridal chamber.
The very words 'matrimony' and 'mat-
rimonhii' are from the feminine side
only. Patrimony has nothing to do
with the nuptials. It applies only to
wealth and signifies that a man's part
In the affair Is to get -out and bustle

France the earliest iu western Europe
was established by Charles VII. in the
shape of "coinpngnies d'ordonnance."-
nutnbering -0000 men. Rivalry there
upon compelled the nations to adopt
similar means of defense. Iu Eng-
land a standing army proper was first
established by Cromwell but was dis-
banded under Charles II. with the ex-
ception of a few regiments called the
guards or household brigade. This
was the nucleus of England's present
army.

Olden Tea Table Etiquette.
Tea table etiquette was somewhat
complicated in the days of that "hard
encd and shameless tea drinker" Dr.
Johnson when many people thought
nothing of drinking ten or twelve cups
at a sitting. It was considered proper
for the cups and saucers of a party of
tea drinkers to be all passed up to the
hostess In one batch when replenish-
ment was considered necessary and in
order that each person might be sure
of getting back the right cup the tea-
spoons were numbered. When the
cups were passed up those who did
not require any more were supposed to
place the spoon in the cup. And this
writer remembers a very ancient dame
teaching ?i small boy to place his spoon
in his. cup after the first cup had been
emptied. He wondered for the rea-
son. Now he knows that tea was
once very expensive and little boys
were tiot expected to ask again. St.
