decreased mt the rate Of one and quarter
million pounds per annum. IL must be re-
membered, too, that TO account for this loss
of energy there has been in Great Britain no
war nor great financial disaster such as Grip

little actual depression on outside trade, as 1t

One cause Of this shrinkage in trade may
be found in the fact that Great Britain has
shown so much Indifference TO gaining, or to
keeping when gained, the custom OF her colo

other reason is limited in the history OF the
transfer of the Chinese custom in cotton

TINS is what the Republican party Of Missis-

ance to pirate to us about "a full vote, free

Take the case of South Carolina, where the
two parties were so evenly divided four years
ago that it took four months TO decide the

the Republican party in South Carolina in two

1t should be noticed that in spite of the

vote shows a decrease of $1,000 votes.

A protest is entered in advance by The Ereping
Post against any effort to convert the approaching
Republican conference into movement for a
change in the Custom House. The alarm Is
needless. We believe there is nobody trying to
bring about change, and we are sure there is no
change contemplated. The approaching conference
will not NEEDLE with questions OF patronage,
or begin a campaign against the oficehoders
1t will show instead the substantial unity OF the
Republican party the cordial support given GARFIELD

The difficulty was to get rid OF the
large amount of silica which ii con-
tains. strong caustlc liquors and
boiling under great heat and pressure
were tried without effect 1t was
found impossible to produce the necrs-
sary disintegration by either method.
Messls. Charles o. and II. A. Copin
of Springfield, Massachusetts, were
engaged in making practical cXperl-
ments with bagasse for more than n
year. At last they hit upon a plan
that yielded satisfactory results. They
exposed the raw material before DO l.
ing it to n very high temperature of dry
heat. The effect of this treatment is to
destroy the combination between the
fibre and the silica. "The fibre loses
water; a small portion of it is decom-
posed into empyneumatic oils, gas and
pyroligeneous acid, but the far greater
part of it remains and assumes the
brown color of empyneumatic sub
stances" The bagasse fibre in this
is ready for treatment with
caustic liquors. The albumen, which
binds the fibre together, has been de-
by the roasting process, and |

san now be quickly removed by the |
We. The fibre and some organic alka- |
les are all that remain. After going |
through the usual process of W ASKING
md bleaching the fibre is ready for
Use. From bagasse remarkably fine

Fresh Air in Typhoid Fever,

DR.. Hampton, of Paris, has lately
issued pamphlet containing a history
of several remarkable cures OF typhoid
fever. The Doctor regards the disease
as sort of paralysis orasphyxia of all
the vital functions, Occasioned by in
ha'ing poisonous atmosphere, eman-
ating from typhoid patient or from
some other morbid source.
BY the Doctors experiments he has
practically demonstrated that great adj
vantage is to be derived from the use of
open air in treating the fever. More
over, he declares that there is absolute
immunity from contagion in the open
air. The cures which lie reports are
ascribed mainly to the admission of
outdoor air to the patients bedroom.
He argues that the patiert cannot
suffer from the application of this
remedy, from other diseases, or from
the temperature of the atmosphere.
If the patient is kept warm in bed
by artificial means, the free breathing
Of pure air will at all times keep up
the natural animal heat. In typhus
fever, complications of all kinds, of
the lungs, or other organs, simply
render the access of fresh air more
Urgent and essential. 1t also enables
The patient TO take stimulants more
easily when necessary.

The fruit stands of New York City
may often prove profitable instructors
to fruit growers. During the past ten
days we have noticed among grapes
that some of Rodgers Seedlings have
been offered in larger quantities than
ever before. They are extremely
snowy, if not of the first quality, and
have sold readily at from 10 cents per
pound for black-such as Wilder--to
20 cents for white-such as Goethe.
Rebecca (white) is now selling in i'm
mense quantities at from fifteen to
twenty-five cents the pound. This is
owing to its firm skin and compact

white grape, and it is to be regretted
that it thrives over so restricted a part
of the country. Delaware, the cream
of grapes, brings at the stands 10 cents,
while the Concords-and they were
never larger or of better quality bring
five. We always associate the Della
ware grape and the Seckel pear. Each
is the prince of its kind.
Grapes, grapes everywhere and it
is pleasure to see that many Of the
poorer classes of the people who in
past years have rarely INDUCED in
those luXuries, eat them freely now.

The Southern Grain Trade.

A late letter from the city of New
Orleans says: The increase Of re-
ceipts of grain at this port has been
enormous; and it is claimed that the
next season will result in 10000, 900 or
JOOOO,OOO bushels. The growth of
this line of business has been very
great, and the outlook is very favor
able for heavier receipts than ever
known before.
The presence of ships of heavy tom
age at this season Of the year is some
thing very unusual to the old time
visitors at New Orleans. Now, these
ships are here the whole year round,
and larger ones coming every month.
The success Of the jetties is the prime
cause Of this, there being no longer
any doubt Of the necessary depth of
water ON the Tar 10 admit vessels

Careless NpcmItIIrifI.


On one day, August twenty-fitth
r3, 1876, 100 in gold arrived in New
York. II is the beginning of the I'M
porlaliol to pay for the cotton Of the
South. But it will remain in the
North and go to the Northwest to pay
for goods, and flour, corn, meat and
iron manufacture purchased by the
South
How rich and prosperous we could
become if farmers would raise their
own provisions and Southern capital
lists would develop the mineral re-
sources Of their section and manufac-
lure for their farmer neighbOrs the
cotton they raise and the wool they
could furnish. Our citiZenS who
travel away in the summer tell us,
when they return, of the active, living
beehive of the East, where every spot
of earth, outside of cOrpOrated limits,
is under cultivation and where rail
road trains speed away from one town
only to fly into another and that they
are all alive with humming factory
spindles and other Industrial enter
prises. And yet the climate is bleak
ana hostile and the land is rocky
waste.
The South is careless spendthrift
whose income, her cotton, benefits and
everybody but herself.
The above is very sensible talk.
The people OF the South evidently
need more economy. Before the war,
they did not know what the word
meant, and snce then they have not |
learned it. The cotton crop brings in
millions Of money but it goes out faster
Than il comes in. II is spent for
mules, horses, corn, wheat, farming
Implements, wagons and buggies, all .
If which might be made at home.

Bran as II Fertilizer.


Very few persons have any idea that
bran possesses any useful properties
as Il fertilizer, but such is the case.
Messrs. n. Long 4 Co, of Russell
vile, KY, bought a piece Of land in
1876 that had been lying out for about
eighty years, and was almost aban-
doned. They possessed large wheat
mills and wishing to experiment.,
spread about a ton and half of the
bran upon four acres. The wheat was
then sOWn and both plOughed in-thc
result was Il yield of So bushels of
wheat to the acre, After this, the
land was planted in clover, which
grew to the height of 80 inches, while
the adjoining clover was about six
inches in height. The same land
yielded Il bountiful crop of tobacco.
This was produced with one applica-
ton Of bran, two large crops Of wheat,
one Of clover and one of wheat.
l'llC ttiHt. Su NV, lIIIlc ultI doIlts
were tested, but the bran surpassed
them all.
According to the analysis, bran con-
tains the following ingredients: solu-
BILE salts, His, earthly phosphate 1903
silici %, metallic oXedes, OBS; it will
be seen by this, that bran abounds
largely in phosphates, which are most
useful ingredients in any fertilizer.
This is not the first time bran has
been used as Il fertilizer, but has never
been tested so thoroughly before. AS
it can be bought from Sl3 to S14 per
ton, we think that we will give it
trial and report our experience.
Prof. Lacy, of Minneapolis, writes
the Miller Magazine, that "yearS ago
! heard of its use with very marked
results. Recently / have seen an eX-
pertinent described in which the effect |
was similar. In both of these cases |
the bran was applied in mass-a
handful or Whereabouts in hill, and it /.
Is my opinion that its effect was not .
produced by the direct supply of food

Ease with guano and phosphates, but |
by tcrmcnting it formed a sort Of hot
bed which stimulated the growth Of

cots were situalCd.N
