It IBiiild; J-21 THE ANCHOR OF COLUMBUS. How He Lost It and Senor Argostino Found It In His Garden. (Philadelphia Press.) On the night of the 2nd of August, 1498, the little fleet of Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of Ameri ca.he then being on his third voyage, lay at anchor just off the southwest point of the Island of Trinidad, off the mainland of South America, which he had seen that day for the first time. "Being on board of his ship," says Washington Irving in his history of the great navigator, "late at night, being kept awake by pain ful illness and an anxious and watch ful spirit, he heard a terrible roar ing from the south, and beheld the sea heaped up, as it were, into a ridge or hill the height of the ship, covered with foam and rolling to wards him with a terrible uproar. As this furious surge approached, rendered more terrible in appear ance by the obscurity of the night, he trembled for the safety of his vessels. His own ship was suddenly lifted up to such a height that he dreaded lest it should be overturned or cast upon the rocks, while an other of his ships was torn violently from the anchorage, leaving her anchor behind her. The crew for a time were in great consternation fearing they should be swallowed up, but the mountainous surge passed on and gradually subsided, after a violent contest with the counter cur rent of the strait. This sudden rush of watar, it is supposed, was caused by the swelling of one of the rivers which flow in the Gulf of Para, and which were as yet unknown to Col umbus. The Anchor thus lost on the night of August 2, 149S, nearly 400 years ago, from one of the ships of Colum bus, off the southwest extremity of the Island of Trinidad (Point Arenal, as Columbus named the spot, vide Irving), has already been recovered by Senor Argostino, the gentleman who now owns the point of land in question. It has the rare merit of being the oldest relic extant of the great navigator and of the discovery of America. As would be expected from the age of this relit it is an anchor in the simplest form of expression. The shaft is round and eight feet nine inches in legth. At the head of the shaft is a round ring, nearly a foot in diameter, to which the cable was i fastened. The flukes have a spread of about five feet. The total weight is 1,100 pounds. The anchor was dug up by Senor Argostino in his garden from a depth of six feet at the distance of 327 feet from the nearest beach of the sea. His first supposition was that he had stumbled upon a relic of the Phoeni cians or of some other of the ancient nations who have been supposed by many to have visited the coasts of America thousands of years ago. But an examination of local facts and authorities soon convinced him that a portion of his garden now occupies the very post at which the ships of Columbus lay at anchor on the night of August 2, 1498. The land is constantly rising from the sea along this entire coast, as has been shown by Humboldt, Findlay and scores of others who have writ ten upon this subject, and the rate of this rising is known to have been quite sufficient to turn in 400 years the anchorage of the great fleet into the garden of a private citizen There is not a particle of doubt, therefore, at the end of rigid en quiry that has been made, that the anchor recently found by Senor Argostino is really and truly the lost anchor of Columbus.

The Farmers' Union and Cotton Association both are advocating what clear-headed men have long contended for namely, that the cotton acreage should be kept down. The farming population must have something to make a living on, and if it is to be less cotton it must be more of something else. Raising other plowed crops to replace part of the cotton would aid the cause; but there is still a better way. One crying need to-day in the South is land that is in good con dition. Humus, decayed vegetable matter, has been lost from the soil to an extent that makes the soil hard to work, easily affected by both wet and dry weather so that crops are injured easily by either, small yields of crops every year, and small profits. There are several ways that organic matter can be added to the soil, but in no other way can it be done so profitably as by raising stock on the land. The grass or stored feed used by the stock should give some profit at the time the stock are sold, and the manure would still remain behind to improve the soil. In a very large number of cases it pays the farmer who owns his own land and works, to raise a crop of cow peas, for instance, to be turned under solely for improving the soil. If, instead of turning the crop under, it is grazed off by stock or is made into hay and fed to stock, the extra gain in flesh or wool should in itself prove profitable; and if the manure has the care that a product of its value should have, from three fourths to four-fifths of the manuri al value originally in the crop can be regained in the manure. This prac tically means that such a crop handled in the latter way ultimately brings in from one dollar and a half to two dollars for every one dollar of outlay. This can be counted on with more certainty than the profit from a crop of corn or a crop of cotton. If he does not have much money to start with, he may find that it is difficult to get stock enough to do much the first year, and he cannot get much returns from the manure before the second year; but the cash returns from the manure can be got almost as soon as the cash returns from commercial fertilizer could be got. Men sometimes say, "Oh, I can't do that; I don't have money enough," They seem to imagine that if they do not have capital enough to engage in stock farming on a large scale at the very begin ning, they cannot engage in stock raising on a small scale. If they had reasoned that way when they were earning to walk, they would be creeping yet; but at first they made small progress in walking, but they kept on according to their ability and more than a few of them have developed into very good sprinters. They can win out in the stock busi ness the same way, if they show as much determination as men as they did as creeping children. On the whole, it is generally just as well for the average farmer to start into stock raising on a small scale.

Fresh Inspiration. (Youth's Companion.) Napoleon understood human na ture. He recognized the great truth, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," and knew how to apply it, not only to himself and his own ambitious projects, but to other men as well. Moreover, he knew precisely the right moment to apply it to quicken the spark of divine energy which smolders in every man, although the ashes of fatigue and failure may cover its light tempor arily. A French soldier carried a des patch to Napoleon. Just as he de livered it into the hands of the em peror his spent horse dropped dead. Napoleon wrote an answer to the despatch, then, dismounting from his own horse, he handed the bridle to the soldier. "Take this horse and ride back, comrade," he said. "Nay, sire," stammered the sol dier, gazing at the blooded horse and his trappings. "It is too mag nificent and grand for me, a com mon soldier." "Take it!" commanded Napoleon. "There is nothing too grand and magnificent for a soldier of France." The soldier mounted and rode away on his perilous business, ready and willing, and Napoleon's words, repeated through the ranks and columns of his army, gave to his tired troops fresh inspiration and energy. "Nothing too grand and magnificent for a soldier of France!" they said, and the thought that they were worthy of the best inspired them to the mighty deeds which fol lowed.

Many years ago the late Governor Carr sent me to Nebraska to study the beet sugar industry. I drove around the neighborhood of the great sugar factory at Norfolk, Neb., and talked with the German farmers there who were supplying beets to the factory. I asked one man if the beets interfered much with his gen eral crop of corn. He said: "Look at the corn; there is no sunflower in it." This was evidence of clean cul ture, for sunflowers are the great trouble there. I asked him what corn was worth. "The elevators are paying 25 cents a bushel." "But," said I, "is not that a poor price for corn?" "Yes," said he, "but I sell no corn to the elevator; I put it in hogs and they walk off and get me 50 cents a bushel for my corn. "That is well," said I, "but I notice that the stores here in Norfolk are all selling hams and bacon from the Chicago packing houses. Could you not cure some of the meat at home and do even better?" "Dot iss goot idea," said the Dutchman; "I think I cure some unt get sefenty-fife cents for corn." Now, the Southern farmers with a good Tamworth male to cross on the native stock could make the finest of hams and bacon, and the turning of corn into hogs and tht hogs into cured bacon would certain ly be a mode of manufacturing one's raw material that would pay much better than selling the corn, and would leave the manurial value of the corn on the farm. Selling raw products is not the way for a community to get rich. The South is rapidly getting away from this in the manufacture at home of the cotton, and every farm er could increase his income by using the raw feed materials to make more valuable products in beef and pork and butter, Trial Catarrh treatments are being mailed out free, on request, by Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis.
