The inventor of the ''Pigs in Clover
puzzle is Moses Lyman, farmer living
near Waverly, n. Y. He has large
number of children and keeps great
many pigs. One day he wished to amuse
his youngsters and the idea of his famous
puzzle came into his head. He thereup-
on made out of piece of wood and a
little pasteboard the original of the pigs
in Clover" A toy manufacturing firm
at Elkland, Tioga county, Pa, heard of
his puzzle and made him a handsome
offer, which he accepted, for the ex-
elusive right to patent and manufacture
the plaything. A fortune has already
been made out of the fascinating little
device

The southern Republicans are a good
deal interested in the result of visit of
party of South Carolina Republicans to
the president Wednesday and the south
ern policy outlined by the president
One member of the delegation said:
The president actually lectured U.S.
He told us that it would be the policy of
the administration to break up mere or
ganlzation for offices: those who ex-
pected favors must have higher ideas
than mere Office seeking, and must be
interested in all things that would con-
tribute TO build up the interests of the
south. He told us that he proposed TO
consult the best men of the south as to
the qualifications and acceptability of
men applying for offices. He did not
want mere partisans, but did wish to Sc
cnre men of the highest order of moral,
intellectual and political attainment
The president is evidently anxious to
break up the solid south, and he has out
lined the policy in his own mind, and
from the way he talks | think he pro-
poses to draw TO him the conservative
element OF the south, and by an equita-
BILE distribution make strong friends for
himself and the party"

Prof. Hadley, of Yale college, in a
recent lecture before the students of that
institution said: THE speed OF railroad
trains is restricted within three theoreti-
cal limits: First, physical limit of
eighty miles per hour, beyond which it
is found impossible for train to hold
the track: second, an operating limit of
sixty miles per hour, which practical ex-
perience has found trains cannot run
without much damage to life; third, a
commercial limit of thirty miles per
hour, at which, all things considered, it
is found most economical to run a train.

Cattle, Cattle, Everywhere.

Any hopes which may have been
entertained of a comparative scarci-
ty of cattle in the United States are
completely dispelled by the tremen-
dous runs in the West. Frontier
feeding States and Southwestern
ranching districts are flooding Chi
cago with cattle, while it is predict
ed with confidence that the North
west will furnish liberal shipments
two or three months hence. There
is nothing very promising in all
this, and cattlemen have little or
nothing to say betokening confidence
in the outlook. The one encoura-
ging point to be noted is that the
proportion of well-fnished beef cat
tie running now is small, and the
supply of these does not seem like
ly to become: excessive. Good cat

known, so cents being offered. Take
the cost of barrel and digging and
placing them upon the cars, and
they cost at least 50 cents on the
barrel; that is, if a man rented the
ground. Many farmers stopped dig
glng the crop, aud prefer not to ship
another barrel at that figure. The
market is glutted, and digging is 60

Latitude.
From the towns of Wartrace, Shell
byville, Tullahoma, Columbia, Muir
freesboro, Fayetville, and McMin-
vile, there are shipped twice week,
and sometimes daily, large quanti-
ties of young spring chickens for the
market in the cities named.
Most of these chickens pass
through Nashville and are handled
by the expressmen here, who say
that it is really surprising what a
large amount of poultry is shipped
from Tennessee, South.
In addition to the shipments By
express, great many fowls are sent
by freight, frequently car load at a
time.
A car load OF live chickens for the
New York marketi is also very COM
mon shipment from different points
in this State.
It is said that the demand further
south for Tennessee chickens, at
good prices, too, is SO great that the
Nashville poultry marketers and
dealers have to send their represent
atives directly to the seller in order
to secure chickens for the home de-
mand.
Indeed, there is every inducement
for poultry raising for profit in this
State.
The chicken crop when, properly
handled, is crop that seldom f.ils
and for which there is always a good
demand at fair prices.-Tennessee

Northern neighbors will cry for
gumbo when they have learned how
good and nutritious it is. There is
rarely negro's hut that has a rood
of land for a garden spot that does
not have its hill of okra for his sup
ply of gumbo. That the fruit is nu-
tritious is proved by the fact that
COWS fed on the plant or the fruit
fatten faster and give more milk
than when fed on any other food.
We knew a good lady who made a
study of the methods of the dairy
who planted largely of the okra for
the purpose offeeding it to her milch
COWS. She assured us that this feed
caused her COWS to give better and
richer milk than any other feed she
had ever used.
The fibre .of the matured okra
plant is very strong and if treated in
the same manner could be worked
into gunny cloth that would be fully
equal to that made of jute. Indeed
in the cultivation and preparation of
okra fibre it is possible that the
South would find the solution of the
jute bagging question. Again the
stalk of the okra plant it is said
makes the very best of wood pulp
for paper making and if grown to a
sufficient extent would give to the
South the best paper material in the
world.
But we begun this article with the
view of endorsing the cultivation of
a taste among the outside barbarians
of the North for gumbo in order that
our gardeners might have another
good shipping material from which
a good profit might be made. They
have been taught the delicacy of the
tomato and little effort will show
them the luxuriousness that is hid
den in the okra in the shape of gum

Southern Vegetables.

SOutncrn VegcCaDIeS.
The shipment Of Southern vegeta-
bles and fruit to Northern markets
has already become large item of
profit to Southern gardeners and
fruit growers, and the extent of this
trade is destined to become very
much greater. Some of the most
esteemed vegetables now largely
used in the North have been intro
duced from the South and consider
able time has in some cases been
required in order to educate the
taste of the Northern people up to a
fondness for what have become the
most relished vegetables. The to-
matoe for instance is of comparative
ly recent introduction on the tables
of Northern people, yet great atten-
ton has been given to its improve
ment by Northern gardeners and
seedsmen and the original little
"love apple" of the Spaniards and
Mexicans could scarcely be recog-
nized in the large and luscious to-
matoes of the present day.
1t is within the present century
since the tomato came into general
use in the South, although they
were pretty freely cultivated for the
feed of poultry before they were
brought to the table as food. Pre-
vious to the American occupation of
Natchez the tomato was used as food
only by the Spanish residents and
soldiers, and they were used in the
South long before the palates of our
Northern brethren were tickled by
them. AS with the Yankee luxury,
baked beans, in the South, so in the
North taste for the tomato is cul-
tivation.
There is another Southern vegeta-
BILE that occurs to us, the okra, a rel
ish for which does not yet prevail in
the North and West. 1t is rarely
that Southerner meets in the North
with the favorite soup of his own
section, "gumbo." We think the
shipment of okra to the markets of
the North is not large part of the
vegetable gardeners trade. The taste
for this nutritious, and we think,
delicious soup has yet to be cultivat-
ed among the masses III the North.
AS the okra bears transportation
we'll and as its virtues for food are
great we venture to predict that in
the future a large trade will spring

will go right through TO Deer Park and then to
Indianapolis, where he is due on the nd
