THE 20TH CENTURY Manure Spreader! 200 lb per acre of commercial fertilizer is tonsidered enough to apply to any crop. What would you think of a man who would apply a thousand pounds per acre? You would no doubt think he was what the Dutchman called the preacher, ad— fool, although yon might not be as frank as the Dutchman was. If the man who applies as much fertilizer is foolish and wasteful what do you think of the man who applies four or five times too much barnyard manure—the best fertilizer in the world —to his land, simply because he neglects or refuses to provide himself with a machine, which will utilize all of the manure on his farm, and increase his profits to an extent that he now seems to think impossible? The 20th Century Manure Spreader is the machine referred to, and it will make the above assertion a reality. KENNEDY & JESSEN, Agents for Newton and Jasper Counties, Morocco or Rensselaer.

There are no new developments in the Dowell-McCoy draft affair. The case will come up at the April term of court here, when, it is rumored, the evidence will probably show that Dowell was much more deeply indebted to the McCoy’s than has been supposed. They had a chattel mortgage on every bit .of personal property Sim had, we understand, and the property was all quietly shipped out of the state by Dowell, leaving them in the hole on this also. As an “honest, careful and painstaking” gentleman “Sim the Cattle Dealer,” seems to have been a wonder indeed.

Burnham, and the cases were sent to Parr, where they were set for yesterday. Young Kaub says he thinks the boys were drunk and that the assault was entirely unprovoked.

A large amount has been preserved as curios by collectors and occasionally even now It Is offered for redemption.

Sleeping and Waking.

“The ability to wake at a given hour by forming a resolution to do so before going to sleep,’’ said a physician at an after dinner discussion a few days ago, “involves a problem that scientists do not pretend to have definitely solved. Their theory, however, is certainly plausible. A great many acts of life, as we all know, are only half voluntary. A man will begin whittling a stick and continue while his mind Is engrossed upon something else. It Is the same with walking. In other words, the action is started by volition and then keeps on going, like an engine. “It is known also that the will persists to a certain extent In what we call unconsciousness, both from anaesthetics and during sleep. How far that persistence extends is an open question, but it is reasonable to assume that most of us can set an Impulse on the principle that an alarm clock is set, and the half voluntary mechanism of the brain carries it along without further attention. But, as I said before, it is only a theory. To tell the truth, our real knowledge of such things is startlingly slight.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Modern Cave Dwellers.

Cave dwellers, or, to be exact, earth or rock dwellers, are not yet extinct. A traveler who visited the prehistoric cave dwellings near Halberstadt, in the Harz mountains, found In the nearby village of I-angensteln ten caves hewn in the rock and occupied by 40 persons. This little settlement is built on the slope of a rocky hill near the village. The fronts of the dwellings were made by cutting a vertical face In the rock. Each “house" has a door and one window. The flyst house was constructed only 40 years ago by a young married couple who were too poor to pay their rent tn the village. The rock houses are warm In winter and cool in summer. They are quite healthful, according to the testimony of their Inhabitants, whose stout limbs and red ehseks vouch for the truth of their statements.
