Col. French's New Stock Farm.

Chattanooga Times: Our readers
are doubtless familiar with the famous
Jolly Island suit, which was decided
last year in favor of Mr.. John H.
French. 1t was begun many years
ago and the accumulated costs at its
conclusion aggregated about $4,000.
The history of this famous case needs no
repetition, suffice to say that Mr..
French, who now owns the island, pro-
poses to turn it into an extensive stock
farm. 1t is one of the best adapted To-
calities for such use in the South and
will undoubtedly provessa magnificent
success.
Mr.. French proposes to make Chat.

A Wife Worth Having.

Mrs. Overton, wife of Col. John
Overton, living six miles south of the
city, has realized, this season, $500 on
turnip greens, the result of the personal
attention she gave to the patch herself,
in having Improperly attended to. The
greens, being of the very best quality,
always had good demand in the mar
ket. The supply is not yet exhausted
and much more will no doubt be real
lied from this popular product
Nashville Banner.
We copy the above article for the
encouragement of other farmers wives
While but few of our wives may have
a market for $500 worth of turnip
greens in one season, they may all
make something for market and not
only make money for their own use,
but make themselves healthy by out,
door exercise. We know some farmers
wives who are better managers than
their husbands. Many others would
be if they had little encouragement
to give them a start. We shall have
much more to say in the future about
how women may make money on the
farm, when we come to speak of the
evaporation of fruits, raising poultry
and other things which they can man

Don't Waste Your Fruit.

1t is a gratifying fact that more at.
tentiOn is being paid each year to fruit.
growing and to taking care of it after
it is grown, and also that the de-
mand has increased correspondingly
in fact, the demand is greater than
the supply. 1t is astonishing what
great amount of fruit is allowed every
year to drop off and decay uncared for,
when, by little timely effort, it could
be saved, and the growers revenue
largely increased and a demand sup.
piled. A prominent dry goods man of
this city says that his line of trade de-
rives more from dried fruit than from
any other domestic product. 1t has
been truly said: at is not what we
make, but what we save, that accumu.
lates wealth" Hence, all fruit
not otherwise used should be dried.
1t may be well to state here that the
sun.drying process is fast giving way
to what is known as evaporating, which
consists briefly in subjecting the article
to as high degree of heat as they will
bear without cookingOr burning. The
effect of this is to form an external
coating impervious to air, and thor
oughly protecting the interior of the
fruit, which is thereby retained in q
normal condition, requiring only satura.
ton in water for brief period to re.
store its natural characteristics.
The evaporating process has not only
taken the place of the old manner Of
drying, but it is rapidly superseding
the modern and popular method Of
canning. The disadvantages OF the
latter are well known. 1t involves the
great expense of cans, requires extreme

Our Rail Road Commission.

Gov. Bate has appointed Gen. 6.
W. Gordon, of Memphis, Col. John
H. Savage, of McMinnville and j. A.
Turley of Coghill, East Tennessee,
Rail road commissioners. In making
these appointments, Gov. Bate could
hardly expect to please all, but has
doubtless done what he thought best

Of his choice, let us not PREJUDICE, but
rather wait until the commission have
an opportunity to prove their efficiency
as such. We are enclined to think the
appointments We're wise and judiclous,
and will, we hope, result in much good
fer both the people and the roads, and
the general prosperity of the state. Ii
the commission will take conservative
view Of the situation and shape their
action so as to bring about harmony
between the roads and shippers, they
can and will accomplish much good.
The roads and producers are mutually
dependent upon each other; the pros
perity of one is essential to the prosper
ty of the other, their interests are in
separable and they must work in
harmony if either is prosperous. The

appointed competent men to do this

with some experience in building rail
roads; is well endorsed and his qualifi
cation, unquestioned. MIR. Turley is

Col. Savage is a lawyer of ability,

who have followed him through tn

man of great energy and -nersonal il
tegrity, and while he may be considere
extreme in some of his political view
on questions of state policy, (some
which we can not endorse) we beliey
he is honest and bribeless, and will eve

The visible supply of wheat has de.
creased in this country more than one
million bushels within a week. This
is said, however, to be due rather to a
decline in domestic receipts, than to an
increased foreign shipment. The crop
at the west is looking worse this spring
than for many previous seasons.
The spring is late, and farmers are
holding their grain until they are bet
ter enabled to judge Of the next crop
than they are now able to do. If the
yield promises to be an average one, the
domestic supply in producers hands
will be brought out. This is believed
to be greatly overestimated. In Cali
fornia the yield is more promising than
it was week or two ago, and it is now
believed full average crop will be
produced. There is no change report
