AKP ON OLU TIMES.
1'eopl? Beomctl Tu Ho Bot tor ion;;
Yean Ak<>.
Thought inovoB Bwlltly those days.
How eager wo arc (or news. Two pa
pers a day and tho ueoplo gather at
tho poBt oltlco waiting for them. And
whon it comoB it'u ail about war afar
oft and crimo at homo. Murder, buI
oido?, dlvorcca, outrages by nogroos,
lynchlngs and tho Atlanta muddlo and
Kentucky murdor thrown in as a Bide
show. Somo of tho proachera are tak
ing a hand in tho gonoral melee and
are raising a rackot in tho mono of the
Lord. How different la all this from
the good old tltuos whon we got the
mall only twice a week and were con
tent to worship God on Sunday and
work on week days and had timo to
think and ponder and talk toour neigh
bors. Whon two doctors wore enough
for tho community and they had but a
llttlo Bhop full of modlcino and there
wero no drugstores and no patont
medicines, and Jim Aloxander anu his
brother, Tom, and Gib Wright and
Adam Jones uud hiB brother, Krank,
and 1, and some othor boys, who aro
now dead, never woro sick or took any
medicine except Baits or castor oil for
green applo colic. What a glorious
fellow was Bryant Strickland, whose
hearty laugh could be heard across tho
town. He diod not long ago and lcfl
his hearty laugh with bis boys. And
good old Georgo Luster, who ran
against Dr. Folton for Gougross. There
nover was a hotter boy, nor a better
man, nor a hotter friend. 1 loved him
and etlll remember how ho and 1
searched ovor tho potato patch to tind
Bomo romalns of tho stars that fell In
1833. What a change has como ovor
the world, some things for tho better,
some for tho worso, and we must take
lifo and progress as wo Und it. Pope
Bald : " Whatever is, Is right," but
old men and old womon can'*, help
looking backward and rogrettlng thai
some things have passed away. Of
course, wo cojoico in the many comforts
that invontion has brought to us, but
tako it all in all, tho avorage of human
happinoss remains about the same as
It was Blxty years ago. Wo had more
content then, moro love and fowor
divorce* and grass widows. Children
wero moro obedient tu their parents
and thero woro no cigars or cigarettes
or Dull Durham tobacco or Coca (Jola
or cocaine or hip pocket pistols. Every
' v.'n had one or two saloons where a
th. He was played (or tho old sots, but
young men did not go there. There
was not a young man in our town who
ever took a drink of whisky, but nowa
days young men consider it manly to
smoke and drink, and oven somo of the
young women got drunk on the sly and
vainly imagine that nobody knows it.
Our negro BlaveB wero contented and
happy and not an outrage was com
mitted (rom tho Potomac to tho Hio
Grande. Now thero aro 24,000 of them
In the chaingangs of tho Southern
States and 4,1U0 of thorn aro in Georgia.
Who 1b rcBponBiblo for all this, and
the lynchlngs that atill go on i Mis
taken philanthropy and unmistaken
malignity. If tho South had been lot
alone we would havo had gradual em
ancipation half a century ago when
Henry Clay was its advocate and Henry
Clay whlgs wero a power in the South
ern Statea. Now wo are taking the
back track and are updoing what our
enemies havo done, and 1 hope Georgia
will follow North Carolina's lead and
that Mr. Hardwick will try his bill
again at tho next legislature. 1 would
amend it a little, but in the main it is
right. I would oncourago the negroes
vo a better citizenship, both morally
aud Intellectually. The county com
mlsslonors or tho grand jury should bo
authorized to examino and mako a
selection of certain moral, industrious
negroes and give them tho right of
suffrage. Thero aro some in every
community that I would trust. Thoro
are a do, en or more in Cartersvlllo,
and every community has a few. This
would create a caste or a social condi
tion in the race that would havo a
good inlluonco. 1 would trust such
men as I'rofoseor Counclll with any
political privilege, and thoro arc
others.
Frank Carpontor is a groat travolcr
?a diligent student and a great writer.
It is Interesting to road from his pen tho
true condition of tho negro in tho
Philippines, flow tho nogro captives
are bought and sold, and ho was offered
four Ukdly ones for $;>Q by a woman
who claimed to be a Mohammedan
Christian. Tho boys avcrago ten dol
lars and a good looking girl brings
from $15 to $20. This trallic hae been
going on for a hundred yoars, but for
tho last half century has been dull.
New England slave ships had to quit
the business about that tlmo foi tho
Brazil market was overstocked and
English vessels woro watching too
olosoly. According to history tho last
cargo was captured on tho coast of
Madagascar in 184b. It was a yunkee
craft and v.u.. iittod out in Doston.
That Is why Chief Justice Story
charged the grand jury that " Doston
merchants wore steeped to thoir eye
brows in this infamous business."
But this is all barred now by tho
statute of limitation*. Professor Coun
clll believes it was ordained of God for
the good of tho negro, even though it
was baptized in blood and Inhumanity.
"Offenses must needs como, but woo
unto them by whom they como."
But in some respects tho South is
making god progr-.ss. Our manu
factures are increasing in ovory Stato,
our agriculture is improving and our
fruit growing is advancing all along
Mm line. The diffusion of knowledge
Is spreading from the towns to tho
country hamlets and every body takes
and reads newspapers. Now if wo can
stop these negro tramps who waylay
the highways and byways we will havo
a good quiot, peaceable country and
can sit under our own vines and shade
trees and worship Cod according to
our own conscionco. Moan niggers
are our greatest curse and there are
thousands of them, for, as my niggor,
Bob, said whon he had served his term
in the ohalngang, " dar is somo as
moan niggers in do chaingang as dar
Is outer dar." That is about tho truth
of it. If every niggor wan put in who
has been guilty of stealing thoro
wouldn't be enough left to get up a
^baptizing or an excursion.

HOT IN NKW YORK.
Saturday Wm a Very Warm Number
in the Metropolis.
NEW You <, August 11.?Thirty por
sons died In this city and vicinity today
from heat prostratlonc and throo from
falling from flro escapes on which thoy
had orowded to got relief from tho
heat. Slnoe August Oth when tho tem
perature was ninety-one degrees the
conditions have boon growing worso.
All In all, it is the hottest continuous
weather New York has ever experi
enced. The local forecaster said that
it surpassed tho heat record of is:si.
The thermometer reached ninety-tivo
at 2 p. m., and registered tho same
figures an hour later. This was the
offlolal record In the buroau, high
above the street, and is several degrees
cooler than tho temporaturo on tho
streets.
While ninety-five was reached on tho
. seventh and ninth days of August there
was a higher range today and tho ther
mometer hardly wavored below the
highest figures for many hours. Death
after death resulted. The fact that It
was a half holiday enablod many to
* ~* the heat of offices and factories.
there was an exodus from
'.an. Thousands hurried
- ~f ' ".?rs and boats for the
[ ,-r- tnd stoaraors had

forced to sleep on tbo mattrosBOs in tbo

Tbo street? leading to cooling rosortB
were crowded and oxpresamou were
overwhelmed with baggage, it was
tbo bualoat Saturday of the naaon.
Hut tbo million or two loft behind In
tbo city wero obliged to autler. The

gave very little relief. The keeper of
an Kant rivor pior ?nid that tbo thor
momotor there had rogl?tored 102 dur
ing the day and that at 7:30 thla even
ing It waa ninety-two. Not a ruatle of
a hroezo could be detected.
Wltnln the four daya during which
th? heat baa been oppreaalve thoro haa

from tivo montha lo two yeara.
Tbo outdoor poor dopartmont waa
overtaxed alao, there being twenty-live
applications a day from mothora to
have their children taken to Randalls
Island.
Thoro waa more humidity In tho at
mosphoro today than on tho previous
day, it roglatorlng 63 per cent, early In
tbo morning und advancing during tho
day.
The Buffering among animals waa
plainly evident. Many horses foil,
some to die, othora to stagger to their

Tho temporaturo averaged nearly
seven degrees hotter than usual, for
tbo week ending 8 a. m. August 13th,
and on tbo 10th maximum temperatures
of 100 to 101 prevailed over tho wholo

at a number of points.
With the exception of light scattered
thunder atones In tho central and wes

entire ahsencc of *aln, and llttlo or no
dew during tho nights. Desiccating,
burning winds prevailed during the

cloudloaa. Tho high temperature, the
absenco of rain, the drying winds, and
tho bright aunsbine wero conditions
that wero extremely damaging to all
crops, checking their growth, wilting,
burning aiul withering thorn.
K.arly corn was too nearly matured
to bo much hurt, but lato corn failed
rapidly and Is In a critical condition
for lack of moisture. Fodder is drying
on tho atslks, many of which have nol
oared, while many of tho ears aro In

shriveling
Tbo heat and dryness caused cotton

IF BUY AN IS ELECTED.
What a Republican i'apor Thinks
Would Happen.
A question waa recently addressed
by a Republican to the Boston l'ost,
and to this tho latter ropllcd with
much sincerity, although it has not
hitherto boon regarded as a strictly
regular Democratic organ :
Suppose Bryan wore elected Presi
dent, what would happen P What
sort of a 1'resident would we have in
him ?
In tho first place, wo should have a
thoroughly honest man in tho White
Llouse. This is a fact conceded by Mr.
Bryan's political Iocs aa well by his
political friends. And it is moro than
tho Republicans can aay of every can
didate for President put up by their
party.
Wo should havo a President of tin
questioned ability. Mr. Bryan has
shown himself a man of parts. Ho is
not only a brilliant orator, he has
demonstrated his possession of the
qualities of statesmanship.
Wo should havo a President who la
personally unselfish. Mr. Bryan is
devoted to principles rather than to
the advancement of his individual In
t3roats. lie is a broad-minded man.
Wo should have for Presldont a man
of tact and good humor. Mr. Bryan
would enter tho White Uouao without
enemies to punlah or grudges to satisfy.
Be carries no " knife."
And touching the politics and issues
on which thla election turna, woahould
havo a i'reaidont dovotod to tho Re
public aa agalnat the imporlal theory
of government; to tho protection of
tho intoreats of the great body of tho
people aa against monopolistic cabals.
Wo should have a President who has
pledgod himself to what wo at tho
Kast regard as a mistaken theory of
finance, but who would be unablo in
; ho four yoara of hla term to put his
theory In praetlco In any form.
All in all, even from i.ho Republican
point of vie .v, there have, hee.ii many
candldatea, both Republican and Dem
ocratic, whose election to the Presi
dency would bo proporly regarded with
groator approbnnsion than that of Wil
liam Jonnlngs Bryan.
1SRYAN WIIjIj TOUR COUNTRY.
Tho Democratic Nominee Will ZVIako
Speeches at Various Points.
W. J. Bryan'a visit to Chicago has
practically resulted In an understand
ing that ho will travel almoat as much
during tho prewont campaign aa ho did
in 18l)(>. Tbo Urat Inclination on his
part was to avoid tho making of many
speechea thla yoar, but thoro has boon
such general proaauro that it is under
stood that be ia now inclined to yiold
and visit many parts of the country.
No posltivo promlaea for participation
in tho campaign havo been made for
other Statos than New York, but tho
probabilities aro that ho will go from
that Stato to Maryland, where tuoro
appears to bo groat anxiety for his ap
pearance Aftor that tlmo he is likely
to make a quite general tour of the
north Mississippi valley Statos, includ
ing Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota,
etc. No authorized statement hap ooon
givon out to this oltoct, but the? is no
doubt that this is tho present tondoncy
?that, indeed, tho plan is practically
decided upon. In New York it is ex
pected Mr. Bryan will speak only in
tho largor cities.
The Silver Republicans originally
oxpectod to notify Mr. Bryan of their
nomination of him to tho prosldonoy at
tho samo time tho Populists make their
notification at Topeka, Kas., August
23d, but this purpose haa boon changed.
Thoir notification will oomo later and
tho probabilitfes are that it will be
made, at St. Paul or Minneapolis. Hon.
T. M. Patterson, of Denver, will
make tbo speech notifying Mr. Bryan
of tho Populist nomination at Topeka.
There will bo no notification to a vice
presidential candidate, as in view of
Mr. Towne's deolination the Populists
at present have no candidate for that
office.
IHK KAIIiROAD COMMISSION.
Their Po wem And Ouile? Inlorma
(Ion From Candidate W. I). May-)
n?ii<i.
'ltiu following points uro mado by
W. I), Maytiold, candidate for railroad
commissioner, In bid speeches :
Tho board of railroad commlsslon
ora la ono of tho moat important board*
in tho Stato. It has control of tho
rallroada, telegraph and oxprcua com
panies of tho State ; haa powor to reg
ulato schedules, mako and alter freight
ratet' and help to tlx tho valuation for
taxation. The board la of groat im
portance to tho pooplo of tho State and
could bo of groat bonellt.
Tho board la composod of threo mom
bora who hold cilice for six yoars, ono
to bo elected every two years, and each
mombor pots a salary of $1,UU0 por an
num. Theao aalartoa aro paid by tho
rallroada. The rallroada not only pay
tho aalarioa but (urniah the board au
oltlco, Htalionory, atampa, fuel, lights,
pay tho salary of the clerk and give
each member and tho clork a pass ovor
all the roads in tho Stato. Tho people
elect theso otllcers and tho railroads
pay thorn. This is wrong. Tho Stato
should pay thorn and tho term ahould
ho mado two yaars lnstoad of six and
thoy should bo mado to como bofore
tho people every two yoara, llko all
othor Stato ollicers, and glvo an ac
count of their stewardship. This would
call forth action.
Tho people aro demanding protec
tion ovorywhoro from trusts and cor
porato power and this Stato should
nave a froo and independent board to
protect tho people's intorost from on
croachment by those corporations. It
will bo too lato to lock tho stable door
aftor tho horso la gone and I warn tho
pooplo to havo this law changed.
In this Stato unjust discriminations
aro mado by tho railroads in favor of
certain towns and cities against others.
This is wrong and ahould not bo al
lowed. Tho commission has tho power
to regulate local rates and could pre
vent it.
(Jortalns portions of this State are
well adapted to fruit growing and
truck farming and opportunity should
bo given lor development aud exten
sion of theso by giving rates which
will permit them to bo put on the
market on equal terms with fruit and
truck grown In other Southorn States.
The fruit growers and truck farmers
lu tho lowor portion of the Stato can
not sell to tho pooplo In tho upper por
tion for luck of proper rates. Tho fruit
growers und truck farmers of Georgia
load and ship to tho North through
South Gurollna for a less ralo than our
pooplo havo to pay. This Is not right.
Somebody got a good rate for Georgia
and somebody could got as good a rate
for South Carolina.
In tho portion of tho Stato whore
fruit and vegetables are grown largo
quantities might be canned protitably
if it could ho put on tho market but
tho local ratOB will not pormltour peo
ple to compete with outsiders who en
joy a bettor rate.
Koller mills in this Stato should
havo rates which would encourage
whoat growing and enable thorn to
compote on equal terms with mills out
sldo of the Stato. Hut such is not the
ease. A roller mill in Augusta has a
loss freight to points in South Carolina
than a mill in this Stato has to the
samo point. So it follows that our
roller mills aro at a disadvantage in
selling to our own merchants. This is
wrong and Is an injustice which should
bo remedied. Furniture factories in
this State cannot compete with factor
ies jutslde of tho Stato in selling to
our own morchants for tho reason that
tho factories outside of tho State havo
bettor ratoe than our factories can get.
Tho roault is wo havo no largo furni
ture factory in tho Stato.
What is true of furniture is true of
iron workB, brooms, shoos, wagons,
bugglos, soap, rope, canned goods, ag
ricultural Implements, and thero is no
good reason why wo should not havo
good ratoa on all of these. Somo South
ern Stato will take tho lead In their
manufacture and why not South Caro
lina.
The uppor portion of South Carolina
cannot raiso cotton onough to supply
the mills and the mills havo to buy on
othor markets. Tho lowor portion of
tho Stato raisos far moro cotton than
is manufactured there and the mills in
the upper portion of tho Stato should
bo onabloc to buy from tho lowor por
tion. Hut such is not tho caae. Tho
rate from tho lowor portion of tho
Stato is so high that tho mills aro
forced to go to Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi becauso they can buy thoro
and ship here cheaper than thoy can
buy and ship from tho lowor portion of
this State and tho farmers aro forced
to Boll thoir cotton at a loss prlco than
It ought to bring aud tho cotton is
shlppod out of tho Stato and manufac
tured olsewhoro. This Is an injustice
to tho poople In the iowor portion of
tho Stato.
Cotton mills shouid bo given tho
very boat rate3 for marketing thoir
products. Such rates, ? would, with
the best ratos for buying, oncourago
tho milling business in tho Stato which
ovorybody knows is to tho Intorost of
tho Stato.
Wholesaling In this Stato should bo
encouraged instead of discouraged. It
is to the Intorost of tho Stato that
largo wholosalo storos bo ostabllshod.
It would add wealth an:l keop money at
homo. Wo havo somo wholesale stores
in tho Stato but thoy arc not duo to
anything done by the .ailroad commis
sion; and havo to labor at a disadvan
tage. Wholesale mere! nuts In Savan
nah, Augusta, Atlant k, Richmond,
Lynchburg, Wllmingtra and Norfolk
can Bell to '.the rotall merchants in
South Carolina choapor than can tho
wbolcsalo morchants of this Stato bo
causo thoy havo bettor ratos to points
in this State than our wholesale mer
chants havo. This is a Bhamo and our
raorchantfl should havo roliof which
would enable them to compoto on equal
terms. Charleston, i'ort Koyal and
Georgetown should becomo import and
export cities of this Stato. Tho ratos
now in force prevent them from ovon
competing for tho business which prop
erly belongs to thom and drlvos it to
Wilmington and Savannah. Thoy aro
bo completely " bottlod up " by roason
of rates that business is takon from
thoir very doors instead of boing able
to command that and invito business
from othor portions of tho Stato.
I doubt If tho parallel of such a
wrong can bo found anywhorc.
Tho fact is that South Carolina has
tho highest froight rates of any South
ern Stato except Florida on all com
modities except cotton sood. Tho low
rato on cotton sood 1b boing followed
by cotton soed oil mills in almost
every section of tho Stato. Low rates
on other commodities would bo fol
lowed by factorioa of dllforont kinds.
Low ratoB on tobacco would protect
and bonotlt certain sections of our
State and result in tobacco factories
in this Stato.

Previous Information which has been
rocolvou horo showed that tbo allied
armies took possession of Tung Chow
on tbo 12th lust. From that city to
Pekln tbo distance is not very great,
I not more than a dozen miles. It seems |
evident, thoreforo, that tbo armies
halted for a tlmo at Tung Chow, prob
ably for tho purpose of giving tbo men
a rost and to prepare for tho attack on
tho capital city In force after waiting
I until the rear of tho advancing hosts
should arrive at tho front. Possibly
also delay was tho resultof negotiations
Inaugurated by the Chinese olliclals
looking to tho delivery of the ministers
with a Chlneso or other escort. If ne
gotiations wero attempted tboy must
huve failed as tbo army contlnuod on
its march and attacked tbu capitul
throo days after reaching Tung Chow.
Tho olliclals hero wore awaro of the
fact that tho stronghold of tbo Boxera
was In tho Chinese city and that for
the allies to attompt to force tboir way
through It into the Tartar city in
which the legatlou compounds aro lo
cated might moan a great loss of life
and possibly a defeat. It was also
known that the Imporial troops which
have sided with tho Boxers wore many
of them In or near tbo Chlneso city and
that such of tho artillery and rilio tiro
which has been poured into the lega
tions bad boon from tbo walla separat
ing tho two cities. Those facts evident
ly wero communicated toCen. ChalToe
and tho other commanding ollicors of
tho allies. Itoallzlng theso obstacles
it apears the allies decided to attack
tho city by the east gate. Thoro aro
four entraucos to too city on tho oast,
two loading to tho Chinese city aud
two to tho Tartar city. Just which of
these was solccted as tho attacking
point Consul Fowler's dispatch doos not
disclose. Contrary to the press roports
of today Consul Fowler's dispatch
shows that tho attack on the city met
with strong resistance. Tho Japanese
advance engaged, according to tho un
derstanding of the etil dais here, num
bered 10,000 men so that tho loss suf
fered by them was over 1 percent. No
mention is made of the loasos of the
forces of tbo other armies but it is pre
sumed that it waa In proportion to that
sulTored by tbo Japanese.
Tho proaidont waa overjoyed on bear

SAND VETCH.
We printed an article last year set
tiny forth the merits of the Sand Vetch.
The Southern Planter, of llichmond, is
unqualified in its praise of the. plant,
saying comprehensively that it "knows
of uo forage crop that promises to
be of greater value." It adds some
information which may be of interest
to Carolina fanners.
The Plauter lias most Favorable re
ports from those who have grown the
vetch for two years, both for a green
forage crop und for bay, and the editor
of the magazine lias seen it growing
and making a splendid yield of hay
after having been put in tho early
spring, lie has also seen it make a heavy
crop when not seeded until late in the
spring. The proper time to sow it is
in August, September and October,
and should be seeded at the rate of .">()
pounds per acre, if sown alone. A
better plan is to sow 20 pounds per
acre with half a bushel of oats, wheat
or rye, as the grain "holds up the crop"
and makes it easier to harvest aud to
cure into hay.
It is a more reliable crop than Ger
man or crimson clover, because it is
not so easily killed out by hot sun or
drought when just started. Its growth
during the winter months serves to
prevent leaching of the soil, and "adds
greatly to the supply of soil nitrogen."
At the Alabama Kxperimont Station a
special study has been made of the crop,
and some interesting facts are report
ed. When cut just before blooming
the yield of dry hay per acre was .'1,1 17
pounds. When 5 per cent of the
blooms showed the yield was :t,70?
pounds. When in full bloom the yield
was ?,780 pounds. When seed pods
formed the yield was 5,403 pounds.
The. percentage of protein muscle
and llcsh forming food?in the hay is
"higher than in any oilier of the
leguminous crops, as red clover and
eowpeas, and much higher than corn
blades or fodder, while in fat produc
ing matter it is nearly their equal."
Asa fertilizer and improver of land
it is of hiffh value. The Alabama
Station calculated that the "nitrogen"
contained in the vines, stubble and
roots from an acre harvested when the
plant was in full bloom would be
equivalent to that contained in -J,,V71
pounds of cotton seed meal, and that
one week later it would he equivalent
to 2,S!iO pounds of the meal. The
total nitrogen content of the crop in
creases with the. stage of maturity.
In experiments made in growing
corn on plats where cither the entire
growth of vetch, the stubbles of vetch,
or the entire growth neatly matured,
rye had been ploughed under, the yield
of corn was 50 per cent greater, and in
some instances 100 per cent greater on
the. vetch plats than on the rye. plats.
There was little difference in the yield
of grain on the vetch plats whether the
entire plant or only the sluhbhlc and
roots were ploughed under.
Finally, it is noted, as a hog pasture
"nothing better than the sand vetch
can be grown, as it conies in early and
holds out into the hot summer."?

is no relation between rancid paste
and the odor of butter and the. quantity
of free acid found in it. Tho greater
tho amount of caseinc and of milk

that light and air exercise any direct
influence upon the process. Butler

of
SCIENTIFIC FARMI NC IN NE
BRASKA.
Writing from Aurora, Nob., \V. B.
Curtis, correspondent of tho Chicago
Record, refers to the great chauges
which have taken place in agricultural I
methods It) Unit State as a consequence
of the introduction of scientific train- I
iug by the agricultural colleges as fol- I
lows:
"There are fewer farms and fewer
stores in Nebraska than there were j
four years ago, but both are larger and i
more profitable. Farming is no longer
carried on in a desultory way. It has
become an exact sciouco. Business
methods have been introduced by use
of which men of industry and intelli
gence win and the other kind of farm
crs lose in the competition. This is
true not only here, but all over Ibe
West. The agricultural colleges are
largely responsible for these conditions.
Nowadays, it is as necessary for a farm
er to be educated for his occupation as
for a lawyer or a doctor, and the degree
of bachelor of agriculture is conferred
by the universities as well as of arts and
medicine.
"The State University of Nebraska,
for example, is a typical institution and
illustrates the demand as well as the
appreciation of the people tor learning.
It is situated at Lincoln, was founded
in 1809, and the brick for the first
building were hauled sixty miles from
Nebraska City before a railway was
opened. A class of two was graduat
ed in INT!! and a class of nearly two
hundred this summer. There are
eighty iusliuctors in tho faculty, 2,000
Btudenl8 Oil the rolls, and an alumni of
several thousand, who arc the solid
men of the Stale. It ranks with the
great institutions of the country, and
is especially important because it gives
a practical education applicable, to the
climate and the soil and other condi
tions of the country thai cannot be con
trolled. It turns out every year botan
ists and husbandmen, agriculturists, ir
rigation engineers, veterinarians, hor
ticulturists, geologists, chemists and all
other classes of culture, who are need
ed and scatter over the Stale, devoting
their talents and industry to securing
the largest returns for the least labor.
"You (lud these men everywhere iu
Nebraska and many of them upon the
farms, where they are engaged in what
may be called concentrated and By stein?
atic farming. Nebraska is divided
?'v longitudinal lines into different
y.oues. The eastern half of the state has
a heavy and BuHicient rainfall. The
western half is loo dry to make agricul
ture sale without irrigation. The
easternmost counties are devoted en
tirely to farming, the next strip to
farming and fattening cattle for the
market, the next to farming and ranch
ing, placing the most important in
dustry lirst, the next to ranching with
a little fanning on the side, and the
western counties to ranching, with im
ported vegetables and butler
"Aurora stands in the center of the
fattening district. It has a favorite
locality where corn and alfalfa?those
two great mortgage lifters?grow with
equal luxuriance, and is surrounded by
what are called "feeding farms," to
which lean mountain cattle are brought
by railway train and turned into beef.
They may properly be called meat
factories, for they convert the raw
material of the country'?grain, grass
and water?-inlobecf, mutton and pork.
"The establishments arc conducted
upon strictly busbies- and scientific
principles. One of tl ? 'feeding farm
ers' told mo that seventy-live bushels
of corn and a few dollars worth of
alfalfa would put from 100 to 500
pounds of beef on the bones of a steer,
and that one hog can be fattened upon
the leavings of three steers, so that the
pork is a clean proUl. A shipbuilder
nowadays can tell you exactly how
many miles an hour the steamer he is
designing can make before the keel is
laid. He calculates the resistance of
the water, the revolutions of the wheel
and the amount of coal consumed, and
then by a mathematical process can
determine to within a few hours how
long it will take her to go from San
Francisco to tho Philippines. A
scientific fanner at a feeding farm can
calculate With almost as much accuracy
the amount of food it will take to tit a
carload of steers for the market. He
has learned at the agricultural colleges
how much nitrogen, albuminoids and
protein is necessary lo produce 100
pounds of beef, and mixes the food of
his cattle accordingly. lie under
stands that the amount of nutrition in
the >rn and the alfalfa depends upon
the iiine when I bey are cut, I hat the
amount of crude fiber in a plan) in
creases rapidly aller a certain period
of growth ami that hay or corn harvest
ed before it is quite ripe contains an
excess of water which is wasted in
feeding. Ills scientific training enables
him to solve the secrets of nature ami
carry on Iii? operations in tilling the
soil and iu fattening the cattle with a
mathematical exact ncBS."
What is the moral in all this ? W
think Farmers' Voice points it ut
very clearly as follows:
"Scientific agriculture is the only
agriculture that will win out in the
lace of steadily increasing competition.
Kvery young mau in I his country who
contemplates ;i life on the farm or in
any relation whatever to agriculture
should ponder well this fact, with the
opening of tho new school year, now
near at hand, arrange to outer aiul lit
himself for the duties and responsibili
ties and the success that surely will 1)0
his if he will but learn and apply his
learning to his chosen calling."
A curious failure ?f sensitized paper
and dry plate8 is reported by Licsc
gang. The materials being proven of
the usual quality, it was suspected that
acetylene, with which experiments
were being inaile in the next room,
Whs the cause, and this theory was
found to be. correct. Neither hydro
gen nor coal gas appeared to have the
same action. Further experiment
made it clear that soino impurity of
the acetylene probably phosphoretted
hydrogen and not sulphuretted hydro
gen ?reduced the silver compounds in
the emulsion. Sensitized paper was
quickly spoiled by the phosphorus of
matches laid near.
Calcium carbide, it appears, does
not require for its production the in
tense heat of the electric furnace, as
has been supposed. One English
manufacturer obtains it by heating
halls of lime and coke iu a gas Maine ;
and in another process a mixture of
lime and coal Is exposed to the heat of
coke burning in oxygen. Iu both
cases a special furnace is necessary.
Plates of borax and iron Illings,
strengthened by a web of iron-wire
mesh, are used by M. Cherbonnier, of
Paris, for facilitating the welding of
two pieces of iron or steel. With
those plates the. weld can 1)0 made at a
much lower temperature than without
thou, and it is niado much more
sound.

stand ready for all the fruit raised,
more of it will be wasted than market

demand urgent, people wildly rush in
and want to know if they can estab

Whin they discover that this cannot

A largo number of hogs in one en

they are kepi together in small lots.
They will struggle for their food, even
when well fed, the result being that
some Will secure the larger share.
Crowded pens cause considerable labor
in cleaning. When hogs are comfort
able, which can only happen when
they are not crowded, they fatten more
readily, and the cost is much less.
They should keep on green food until
the weather becomes cold, as a liberal
supply of grain is of no advantage at
this season.
