RMN?flt\P?N ( Pro^reislve Farmer.) Buy Mares Instead of Mules. Occasionally I see articles In papers advising people to put their money into stallions, as the moet economical and speedy way to raise horses of greater value, and to raise colts from the mares we have. 1 do not wish to disagree with or dissent from this recommendation. In my own limit ed experience I have found that colts are always very much Uko dams lu conform?t ions, action and disposition. I have had 14 colts from 10 dif ferent mares, only one of which is registered; others, grades and nonde scripts, riwre are 10 different cires represented; three Gernw.n coach, thrdc standard, two Percheron and !wi unknown. Aboul half ?>f .he?3 stallions were registe 'ed, others very high grades. 10 ryone of these colis without ? single exception has been almost ex actly like their dams in form, ac tion and disposition. There has been more variation in color then in any O'hf.r particular. A white dam and bay sire produced a sorrel colt. A pr.ir of black mares by a light bay stallion raised dark bay colts. A colt from a bl.nd mare has good eyes at 18 years of age. another from a mare V/!th good eyes is blind at four years. The offspring o." the honest, true pull ers, when harness is first put on them and they are told to go, move right off without trouble, those from balkers never will press the collar hard. The generally conceded superiority of the mule over the jinny seems to suggest the same thing. lt seems to me that the wisest thing to do to get proper farm teams is to buy the best mares you can get Instead of mules. I would rather have a pair of Perdiere n or high grade Percheron mares we'gMng 3,-? OOO pounds or over, If sound and all right for a farm team, than any ? o ir of mutee that aver wore harness. If you have mare" of tbr.t type, whether you raise norseg or muk-;-., when mated to good sires, you will obtain good results. The Pig-Fating Sow. A roader wanta lo know what caus cded bis "sow to eat 1 er pigs end is there a remedy?" When a MOW eats her pigs it is pcotty good proof that she u not in good condition. Possibly a consti pated sow, or one with a disordered direst ?on from anv cause, might in some cases eat her pigs, bul in prac tically all caws we believe she ls brought to tho con di'! ion where sue does this unnatural thing from a lack (.:' a properly balanced rai lon. We are almost ready to believe that a sow with green stun* and sufficient protein in the ration never eats her pigs, except possibly after they are dead. Sows will sometimes eat their pigs that die from some other cause when they will not attack, kill and eat their own pigs. The remedy is easy: See that the sow gets plenty of exercise; keep the bowels oj>en, preferably with green feed, and balance the ration so that tho sow will have been getting all the materials which her own body and the bodies of her unborn pigs need to maintain health and proper growth. Possibly protein from ani mal matter is better for this purpose, but any protein that the hogs like will probably do about as well. At any rate, tankage, which is a waste product of the packing houses, fills the need exactly. If one part of tankage by weight is mixed with six to eight parts of any grain, even corn alone, for two weeks before the pigs are born, there ls very little dan ger of the sow eating them. Skim milk will serve tho sanie purpose md is probably just as good as the tank age. In fact, we believe a good do ver pasture will serve, the purpose equally well. l-nte Cabbage in (die South. This is from South Carolina: "Please toll me what kind of se id to use to got hard-headed cabbages In winter?" I know nothing better than a good strain of the late Fiat Dutch. In your section sow the seed iii a rich bed early In August. Then see that the plants never suffer for lack of water, but keep them growing strongly. Oct good, strong plants, set in heavily manured lard In late .Sep tember, and keep theso growing strongly by side applications of nitrate of soda and rapid and thor ough cultivation. They will bead in December, and to keep thom in good condition turn the beads over to wards the north, and bank the soil well over the stem and the lower part of the head, as these aro the tender parts. Tho bead towards the north will be shaded from the winter sun that might damage it when frozen. In your climate they will keep well in this way, and the same method is the best to use for collards.

July 4.-A Fourth of July excursion train from Jackson ville to Atlanta, running as the sec ond section of Georgia Southern and Florida train No. 2. crashed head-on into the Macon and Birmingham passenger train leaving here at 4.30 o'clock on a 30-foot trestle at Tam worth, 7 miles south of here, Thurs day afternoon. At least three women and three men are seriously injured and more than a score of others badly hurt. As the trains came together, a pas sengei ieaped from one of the traiuB down the embankment, ran to a farm-house and telephoned to tho railroad office to send all the doctors and nurses obtainable to <the scene. He gave no further information. The railroad i>eople could not ver ify the report, as the hearest tele graph station is four miles away, but sent the train. One woman with four little chil dren ls perhaps the most ?seriously injured. Her name has not been obtained. The little children cried for their mother as she was carried from a coach and placed on a stretcher and hurried to the hospital. According to Charles Russell, a printer, who was on his way from Jacksonville to Macon, the trains were not running faster than fifteen or twenty miles an hour, otherwise there would have been a heavy loss of life. He said most of the i>ersons seri ously hurt, besides the women, were injured in jumping. Both engines were driven together so they are like one. but were not thrown off the trestle. A ear load of beer, on the head end of the Macon and Birmingham 'rain, was com pletely demolished, and the destruc tion of this light car doubtless helped to save the passengers in the heavier cars. Most of the seats in the coaches were stripped from the floor, however, and a general panie among the men, women and children followed the crash. Conflicting orders are said to have caused the trains to meet on the main track. Cures OM Sons, Other Remedies Won't Cure.

Washington, .July 2.-Senator Till man to-day handed the following i signed statement to the News and Courier correspondent with refer ence to a remarkable photograph which thc Senator is sending to the clerk's otlice in every county in South Carolina: "When in South Carolina last April, returning to Washington from Clemson College. I stopped in Green ville to see my niece. While there L. M. McBee showed me a photo graph, two by three inches in size of the Reconstruction Legislature o. ; 1868, the first we bad. There were far more negroes in lt than white men. 1 borrowed lt and brought it to Washington and had lt enlarged. I have had it framed, and intend to send one to every county to be bung in the clerk's office, so that people may see it who have a mind to. "Governor liloase and Mr. Fortner are howling about the negroes having white teachers and the danger to our civilization from that source. 1 am inclined to believe the Southern peo ple made a great mistake when they did not take charge of the negro's education and put them all under white teachers Instead of colored teachers. However that may be, the one real danger-and a great one lt is-to South Carolina's civilization lies in a possible division among the white people themselves, making the negroes the balance of power and the controlling factor in our poli tics. As long as the white people stand shoulder to shoulder and tight it out among themselves we need never fear. The new rules adopted at the last State Convention to govern the primary insure an honest vote, and every good Democrat will abide the result, whatever it be. There is lit tle possibility of our having ever again as bad a Governor as Mease has been. "South Carolina can even stand Bleasc in the Senate, however nause ating it would he to some of us, but would never recover from an appeal by the Bleastoes, or any others, to the negro vote. Should that occur our civilization would be doomed. An Indehnlte 'era of good stealing' would come again, and in the course of time another 'ringed, streaked and striped' Legislature would assemble In Columbia." The photograph to which the Sen ator refers bas attracted much at tention from visitors to his office in the Capitol. Without exception every beholder who 'has commented upon the picture has declared that it presented more eloquently than any number of speeches or books could do the horrible conditions under which the State labored in the pe riod of "Reconstruction."

Four Killed ami New York Tenement House Wrecked. New York, July 4.-Three men and a wornon were killed to-day when a dynamite bomb, said to be the most powerful ever used in this city, exploded in an apartment at 1635 Lexington avenue, tenanted by Industrial Workers of the World.

W. W. hearing in Tarry town Monday. There have been ru mors of threats to Tarrytown offi cials.
