The planters Of Georgia are doing
much to improve thesystem and quail
ty Of agriculture in that state by the
stimulus of prize contests. Last sea-
son the prizes offered were for the larg-
est yield of cotton and corn on FIVE
acre plants, and the result of the COM
petition was highly satisfactory and in
structive. The best cotton yield was
l,545 pounds OF lint cotton three
and a third bales-to the acre. and
the lowest was 572 pounds, or a.bale
and a quarter to the acre. The best
yield of corn was 116 1-2 bushels, and
the lowest 81 bushels to the acre.
This is a yield that the best farming
in Illinois has rarely surpassed.

DR.. Thomas Taylor, of the Agricult-
ural Department, announced at a
meeting OF microscopists, that butter
placed under a microscope showed
round crystals marked by plain
cross, which could be found no where
else. Now Prof Weber, OF the State
University at Columbus, has discov-
cred that the mixing,of little water
and salt with the oleomargarine causes
the bogus butter to develope under
the microscope exactly such crystals
as are found in the legitimate article.
SO that a person is not safe even if he
carries a microscope with him to the
hotels and restaurants.

The State of Minnesota and tho Untaxed
Railroad Lands.

An important suit has been commenced
IN the supreme court of Minnesota which
will undoubtedly result in long and bitter
litigation. Attorney General Hahn. as
relator, filed information with the clerk of
the supreme court for quo warranto
against the Southern Minnesota Railway
Extension company, the Southern
Minnesota, the Minnesota Central,
the Hastings & Dakota and the
St. Paul & Sioux City Railway companies.
There was a separate Information tiled
against each company. The lands IN ques-
ton were originally granted to companies
incorporated by the state to aid in the
construction of Railroads. AS the prop
erty of railroad companies they were
exempt from taxation. But the original
corporations have been absorbed in larger
companies, and have only maintained their
organization for the purpose OF holding and
disposing OF their land grants. The Sioux
City and Southern Minnesota have ceased
to be railroad companies, and have become
land companies. For this reasonit has long
been held by many that the exemption OF
the lands from taxation was inequalities and
invalid. Efforts have been made to have it
SO declared by the courts and the legisla-
ture, but SO far they have been fruitless.
Now the attorney general takes short cut
to a legal settlement by proceeding by quo
on the ground that they no longer perform
the functions for which they were charter
ed.
The St. Paul & Sioux City company
would be the heaviest losers should the
corporation lose the case. They have
somewhere in the neighborhood of4OO, 900
acres OF land yet in their possession; the
Southe IN Minnesota has about 125,O0O
acres; the Hastings & Dakota about $780,
900 acres; the Minnesota Central about
10000 acres, and the Southern Minnesota
extention about 10000 acres.
