uitural Experiment

Station.

Inters of inquiry, received at the exyerioient station indicate that many Indfarmers are becoming interested in Itsffir corn. This forage plant has been grown experimentally for a number of }ears in maav parts of the country, but i! hrmfc attracting much notice. Recently it. hue sprung into some prominence as jb forage plant for the semi-arid portious tie country, and astonishing claims jtra made for it in certain newspaper artes which are attracting wide attention

Kiffi? corn is one the ninny nonp.-.c-eii -.riufl varieties of sorghum. In come: rn with other sorghums, both sweet and -••'tjccbarine, katSi" corn t»p'ears to quite well in climates too dry for best development of Indian corn. %'-i\!cli: lHr corn may well claim the at4 ion of farmers living in very dry clies, it is at lea*' an open question, sy/'-s it can prove advantageous to ihe fi.r.Miers of Iadiana. It should be borte .uind that the sorghums are recorcl^d a? forage plants for the drier iies in which ludian corn cannot ^•e. Where Indian corn grows to ctioa, as it does in ail portions of St iaua, it would be extremely unwise to it for any of the sorghums which f, ,o thus far shown no special adaption section. •. iiough the kafFiir corn and other sorghave shown no superior merit in vi.us trials at this experiment statthe former will be more thoroughly t'• -adhere the "ming season. iF-irmers having very dry,warm soil,will ^rell to grow small areas of kafflr corn j*.\ side the common fiwld corn forcom(v- rison. Those who intend trying kaflir corn, should remember that it is said to le very sensitive to cold, especially when jger-niuating. The ground may be prepared at the same time and in the same man »er as for common field corn, but the f'ia,iiiiug of bhekaffir corn should ba. delayed until late in May or early in June. le3uv*hile, the p^epired ground should fre cultivated from time to time as weeds ^ppeiu\^o that it will be well clear of -^tv&sTaetore the seed is planted. Put into ipan ground thus late, the seed will gertni nnte more promptly, and the early growth which is stow at best, will be «uore vigorous than if planted early and rfhe subsequent labor of cultivation will |je considerably reduced. If Much seed is ^desired, plant the same as sweet sorghum.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

A YOUNG COOK.

She Won Prize For Making Bread at the Atlanta Exposition. The cooking school conducted by Misa Lucy Andrews in the Woman's building at the exposition will leave many pleasant memories with the girls who attended.

The school was made up of one girl from the eighth grade of all the grammar schools in the city, except two or three which did not respond. A pupil was appointed by the principals of each of the schools, and several were appoint-

ed by Mrs. Sargeant from the girls' high school. There were in all 15 pupils. At the close of the school the committee, with Mrs. A. V. Gude, chairman, and Mrs. Judge Jackson and Miss Andrews, awarded the prizes for the best cooking. The test was on a loaf of bread. The prizes were handsome enameled gold souvenir spoons.

One of the prizewinners, Miss Aulean Acker, is an eighth grade pupil of Fair street school. She is one of the brightest pupils in the grade. She is 15 years old. Fair street is proud to have won one of the honors of Miss Andrews' school, and they are now gladder than ever that Miss Acker was selected to represent the school. —Atlanta Constitution.

How Roy Milked Brownie. Roy is a little country boy. His father lives on a large farm and keeps a good many cows. Roy likes the country and has a great deal of sport with the ducks, rabbits, colts and other animals on the farm. From morning until night he is busy.

But Roy also likes to help about the farm work. He is getting large enough to think he can milk some of the cows in the busy time of the year, when his father has so much to do.

One evening Roy's father was at work in the hayfield. Roy drove the cows home and got the pails to milk. He sat down by Brownie, a nice young cow, and began to milk, but the flies kept biting her, and she hit Roy in the face with her tail a number of times.

At last Roy thought of a plan to keep Brownie from hurting him, and he tied her tail around one of his legs. Brownie soon found that she was fast, and she tried to jump away from Roy. She would not shake him off, and off she bounded, dragging the little boy over the hard ground. He cried out as loud as he could, and his mother came running to help him. She did not dare to go near the frightened cow, for fear that she would run faster than ever, and around and around the yard they went. Roy was in great danger of being killed.

At last the little boy's legs slipped out of the knot, and he lay on the ground very still until his mother picked him up and carried him into the house. He was badly stunned and bruised by the terrible jolting over the rough ground.

I am glad to tell you that Roy was soon well again. You may be sure that he will be more careful in the future. —E. L. Vincent in Our Little Ones.

A Smell For a Bite.

Bob had been to the barber shop to have his hair cut. Bob's hair was almost white, and when it was short, there were grounds for suspicion that nature had not furnished anything for the top of his head but a bald spot.

When Bob took off his hat, the aroma of the barber's long necked bottles filled the air. All the other boys crowded around and sniffed. "Here, Bob, let me smell your hair," said one.

At that all the boys wanted to smell Bob's hair. Bob objected and put on his hat. Jimmy Bank, who was eating an apple, stepped up. "I'll give you a bite of my apple for a smell," he said. "I'll take you," said Bob.

So the apple went into Bob's mouth and the smell into Jimmy's nose. Both seemed satisfied.

And during the forenoon Bob received four peanuts, a buckle, two bites more of apple, a broken top and a horseshoe nail for smells. He would have done a larger business than that only the boys soon smelled all the odor away. —Chicago Record.

Tongue Twisters.

A good merrymaking game at an evening party, or, for that matter, at any time, is trying to repeat difficult sentences over and over again. One of the simplest and best of these is "mixed biscuits." Another is "gig whip,"jand even worse than that is "six thick thistle sticks." Peter Piper fades into insignificance when compared with such jaw breakers. Having mastered them, attempt "She stood at the door welcoming him in," and proceed to the direo* Ition which the writer has been obliged ito give, "Stop at the shop at the top of JSloane street." Should any member of Ithe company feel sure of the prize thus |far, an antidote to conceit is, "There Iwas an old woman and she was a thistle Isifter. She had a sieve of sifted thistles and a sieve of unsifted thistles, and aha was a thistle sifter."

Lady Just Past Her Youth.

fSpecial Correspondence.]

NEW YORK, Jan. 37.—Side by side with the transparent and sheer lawns and other fine goods intended for noxt summer lie the stuffs that are now in vogue. The juxtaposition would be laughable were not both so beautiful. Tweeds, homespuns and cheviots were never so attractive as now, for each succeeding year adds some new excellence either in weave or color or

EVENING GOWN FOR ELDEIiLY LADY, design, and, too, tho manipulation of the wools is more scientific, so that tlioy come from the looms softer and more delicate to the touch. Those three materials are woven so as to appear looser, but they have not lost any of their intrinsic value for wear and appearance. Indeed these standard woolens aro now among the most stylish of dress goods and aro considered quite good enough for all sorts of day wear, including luncheons and teas as well as formal calls.

Thero are other stuffs, liked very much, of different shaggy surfaced fabrics. These often have a ground of quite bright coloring, barred with curls of glossy vicuna and mohair. These lines stand up in high relief and give a heavy effect—that is, heavy only in appearance. Some of these novelty stuffs have the surface almost entirely covered with little knots, knobs and tufts of the black or brown mohair. Some of them are wrought in patterns, and some aro set on irregularly. The under color shows through faintly and produces a pleasing material which makes a handsome gown. Dull red ground, with black and brown tufts, is very rich. Other combinations are equally so.

Plaids have advanced in popular favor even more than was hoped. There are plaids in soft twilled wool in tartan colors, and French poplin in all sorts of designs the colors and combinations being usually very artistic. There aro velour plaids in groat variety, from pinhead checks up to enormous blocks. Irish poplin is offered in somo stu?tling plaids, though a few of them are very refined and elegant. Irish poplin is such a rich material in itself that it loolr better in solid color than in plaid. Another novelty is dress goods in matelasse weave. The groundwork has twillod threads of black wool and some bright color iii silk so interwoven that it forms one body. Over this is thrown a design of raised black silk flowers. It looks like quilted stuff, which gives it its name. Thl is still light enough to make into a handsome costume for almost any day function, and it is quite a style for church, especially for rather elderly women. It requires but little trimming, but great care in the. making.

The zibelines are very stylish and have found much favor, though they do make one feel a little l:ke Esau. The effect of the long silvery hair overspreading the surface of the under fabric like a film is a novel one, and a pretty one. There is blue, with a surface of long, silky hairs in pearly white standing out over it like the frost on the grass. There are a patterns in plaids, with the same hairy front toning down the brilliancy to a delicate softness. In some of the bright plaids the hairs are black.

The beautiful new broadcloths are among the triumphs of the season's goods. They have a satin twilled surface and are softer and more flexible than ever, and in consequence take more elaborate trimmings than heretofore. Embroidery, lace and braiding, as well as fur or simple stitching, all find their places upon the new broadcloths, sometimes singly and sometimes all together.

Crepons are being put out now in a greater variety than ever, but the deep and unstable billowy weaves area thing of the past. Those now offered are treated much like the cheviots and have knotted and curled effects. Thore aro reversible crepons, where the weave makes raised 'amonds on ono side and honeycomb on the other. There are many other fancies

ELEGANT NEGLIGEE.

where two and even three colors mingle. The best and most serviceable of all are those of Australian wool and mohair mixture.

I found a regal costume today for a lady a little past youth and who yet clings to the fleshpots of Egypt or the regulation evening dress, which amounts to the same thing. This was a royal purple velour du nord, with a band of ermine around the bottom and the bertha and also the Louis Seize cuffs. There were rounded revers of gold embroidery forming a bertha, and inside the point of this was a chemisette of white silk mull. The sleeves were puffed and ended at the elbow with .he cuffs. On tho shoulders were two little tufts of ostrich tips. Such a gown could almost reconcile one to growing old.

The new fancies in negligees are wonjlerfully pretty and dainty, made as tney %re of pom. *dour silk, with lace and rib-, pons galore. One style has a big oapuohin, lined with cherry silk.

LAID OUT A PROGRAM.

All That Was Accomplished in the Senate. House Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Although the Semite failed to accomplish anything the session served to make definite the. program on a number of important: .subjects. Mr. Morrill, chairman of tin1 finance committee, gave notice that lie would call up the tariff bill on next Wednesday. Mr. Call secured unanimous consent that the Cuban question be made the special order following the deficiency appropriation bill. Mr. Davis, author of the Davis resolution on the Monroe doctrine, gave notice that on next Monday ho would call up the resolution. Thus the three most important pending questions were given a definite time for hearing.

Mr. Cameron (Rep.,Pa.) introduced a resolution relative to the termination of the war in Cuba. After a preamble quoting from the president's last annual message what is said in reference to that subject, a joint resolution provides that, "as it appears there is no means of securing permanent peace to Cuba except by the recognition of its right of selfgovernment, the good offices of the United States are earnestly seconded to the favorable consideration of the Spanish government for the recognition of the independence of Cuba."

The resolution was read a first and second time and laid on the table. At 2:45 p. m. the senate went into executive session oil motion of Mr. Morgan (Dein., Ala.).

After the executive session Mr. Mills (Dein.. J4 announced the death of Representative Crain, and appropriate resolutions submitted by him were adopted.

The vioe president named Messrs. Mills, Gallinger and Kyle as a committee to represent the senate at the obsequies.

At 3 o'clock, as a further mark of respect to the deceased, the senate adjourned.

In the house the entire time was put in discussing the bond bill until the announcement of Representative Crain's death was made, and then, as a mark of respect, the house adjourned.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT OPENS.

The Queen's Speech Does Not Announce Any Sensational Policy.

LONDON, Feb. 11.—The British house of parliament was opened today with the usual ceremony. The queen's speech is longer than usual, but it does not announce any sensational departure in policy. It opens with expressing satisfaction that Great Britain is at peace with all the great powers, and referring to the Transvaal incident recites the course of events rather than furnishes an indication of the outcome.

There is a guarded allusion to the Venezuelan question there being no specific announcement made in regard to arbitration. But reference is made to the prospect of a friendly understanding with the United States with regard to the Venezuelan dispute. A suitable reference is also made to the deplorable events in Armenia, and the hope is expressed that the reforms will be carried out.

Among the bills proposed is an employers' liability measure, one providing for voluntary schools, another touching upon the Irish land law reform, one for the relief of agricultural distress and one for the establishment of a board of agriculture in Ireland.

There is also an allusion to the increase in naval defenses.

FRACTURED HIS SKULL.

Friendly Boxing Bout Results in the Death of One Man.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11. Fred Schlechter, who sustained a fracture of the skull in a boxing bout on Saturday night with Harry Pluckfelder, an expoliceman, died yesterday. The police are reticent concerning the affair, but it is.believed that the bout was a friendly one. Schlechter was knocked down and his skull was fractured by his head striking the floor.

Pluckfelder is under arrest. The men met in Schlechter's mattress factory, in the presence of a score of spectators, and, after the set-to, Schlechter went to his home unaided.

In a

short time,

however, he became unconscious and was then removed to a hospital, where he died.
