GOOD BUTTER WANTED.

The fact is, of fine butter there is never
a surplus, while of common stock the Gel
lars and warehouses of dealers are full,
with but little outlet or demand. 1t is
an outrage on the COW to examine some
of the stuff sent to market as the pure
product of the milk. The cow does her
part and furnishes good milk in proper
ton to the care and feed, but the owners
manipulate it in such manner as to dis
gust even scrub OF the vast amount
of butter produced in this country, about
one-fourth may be classed as fine or good
butter; the balance goes from good to
grease. Now, when our dairymen get
awake to the fact that only by making
good goods can they hope to compete
with butter substitutes, they will have
taken long step towards spelling the.
market for these goods.--Dairy World

stock car, 81 feet long and 5000 lbs. capacity
loaded to the top with the following strange
but interesting inventory, viz: One large Ten
nessee Jack, one black Tennessee Jennct, three
Tennessee mares, one thoroughbred shor-horn
ball, one short horn COW, one registered Jersey
bull, one Southdown buck, one Southdown
eve. seven Angora goats, three Berkshire hogs,
twelve game chickens one thoroughbred "Point-

four tons Of clover and hay seeds and plantation
supplies.
This car left the stock yards at Columbia,
Tennessee, on "Wednesday night last, and came
through in three days. The Nashville 1merican,
in commenting on its varied contents, remarked:
"Ifthis car of Jacks and live stock isn't enough
to drive yellow jack out of Florida, we don't
know what will !"

LET'S FEED OURSELVES.

A Florida paper says we of the lower
South should by all means grow products
enough to feed ourselves. and where they
are to be manufactured we should manu-
facture them. There is no reasoable ex.
cuse for our not doingit. The only thing
needed in the premises is courage enough
to take the initiative in these projects.
Instead of bringing canned tomatoes,
peaches, plums, pine-apples, pears and
other fruits and canned vegetables from
other sections, our part of the country
should be dotted throughout her fruit and
vegetable sections with canning factories,
and her products put up, thus keeping
the money which would be sent off for
these necessaries at home, saving the
fruit and vegetables which are yearly
wasted after shipping ceases to be profit
able, and giving employment to hundreds
of her inhabitants, many of whom, for the
lack Of employment, are becoming thieves
and Migrants. Mobile Register.

DEAR SIR: Enclosed please find postal order
for amouEt Of enclosed statement for which send
me receipt In publishing my postal, the
types make me say that hope to engage in the
construction of 20 inch gauge railway which
should have been 80 inch. In a recent trip to
Cleveland, Ohio, l have arranged the preimini-
naries for the organization of company for the
construction of 30-inch gauge railway at small
cost as well as in operation and for short time,
where standard gauge will not pay, are just the
thing for many points in Florida. and am per-
suaded that 30inch gauge, equipped with roll
ling stock with all the improvement on standard
gauge roads, can be built from Tallahassee to
brownsville for $4,000 mile and operated for
not to exceed $40 per day, if 16 mile road in
the State of Maine costs $37, they paying $3.50
a ton for coal to make steam Now, friend
Bowen, want to see Tallahassee opened out
to the world direct by a cheap railway, and your
bankers can market the bonds for such a road

The papers are now full of articles on
the need Of understandings for lands, but
they invariably do more harm than good
by wringing in tiles as the only means of
securing it, This makes it appear beyond
the reach Of most persons in the lower
South, where tiles are difficult of procure
ment, when the fact is board under-drain-
age is just about as good as tiles. Three
good heart-pipe boards laid down as an
inverted V answer the purpose to per-
