The bird in which was most interested in Is known ss the Arizona rosd.runner. It has oocy perhaps l2irehes long and tail About the same length. and runs like race horse. Before knowing its habits, tried to shoot one, but knowledge Of its usefulness gives me profound admiration for the road runner. It Is the determined enemy of the rat,lesnake. Upon finding his snskeship it gathers Tn its bcak a cactus leaf loaded with thorn, which weighs about pound, and lowering over the reptile drops i, upon him. This makes the reptile coil for fight, when the bird returns with another and another until The mad serpant is either killed by his he'd Of thorns or dies hy his own poison.

INDIANA CANE-GROWERS.
An Interesting Discussion of the Sugar and
Syrup Interests of the State.

The Indiana Cane growers Association met
yesterday afternoon at the rooms of the State
Board of Agriculture, DR.. A. Furnas, of Dan
vile, presiding. The first matter of moment
was discussion of the prospects of the sor-
ghum cane industry, which was taken part in
by nearly all those who were in attendance
The general view was a gloomy one and indi-
Gated depressed condition of the sugar and
syrup market. The smaller workers, for the
most part who have a local market for their
products, have reason to feel better than the
larger manufacturers who have to seek mar
ket The general opinion, however, seemed to
be that the present low prices will not
be maintained long, and before another
crop is ready for the market the prospects
of sugar men will be much better. Professor
Wiley, government chemist at Washington,
made an interesting address on the beet sugar in
dustry of California, and the sugar cane indus
try of Louisiana. This was followed by dis
cussion of the points of the address.
The following officers were elected for the en-
suing year: President DR.. A. Furnas, Danville;
vice president r. w. Deming, Lafayette; secre-
tary, w. l.. Anderson, Ladoga; treasurer, Will
liam Lietzman, Center Valley.
AT the evening session papers were read by
E.. w. Deming on 1.-The Main Features of the
National Sugar Growers Association at st.
Louis and "Cane Seed Flour" A number of
members and manufacturers exhibited models
and explained various implements used in sugar
and syrup making.
A resolution introduced by w. L. Anderson,
of Ladoga, passed unanimously recommending
Hon. Norman j. Colman, editor of the Rural
World, st. Louis, Mo-, 70 the incoming admins
tration for the position of Commissioner of
Agriculture, not only on account of his great
fitness for the place, but that, because Of the
