Sucu concerns as the Georgia-Alabama
Investment Co., are liable to bring disre-
pute upon any section, and the South is TO
be congratulated that SO few of them have
aourisbed within her borders. Since the
rottenness of,this Georgia-Alabama Com
PAW was exposed by the United States
Investor it has cropped out that most OF
its victims are people of small means VINO
we're deceived by its glittering promises OF
semi.aunual dividends.

In Ohio.

Governor Campbell has been steadily
gaining ground in Ohio in The past week,
and the situation is decidedly more favor
able than it was a week ago. The fact Of
the business is that Campbell is making
one of the most brilliant fights ever made
in this country. One month ago the Demo-
Gratis had little hope of defeating Mckin-
Ley, but day by day the brilliant fight made
BY Campbell has been producing results,
until now his election will cause little sur
prise to his supporters. The powerful
opposition must not lie lost sight Of how
ever. The protected manufacturers of the
country cannot offord to allow their own
peculiar pet to he defeated and ell that
money can do will be done to elect
Mckinley.
This week Campbell has been cam
paigning in the country districts and his
reception by the people has been more
than satisfactory, and If it were not for the
disafrection in Hamilton county there
would he little doubt Of his election. AS
it 10 the outlook is far more favorable than
we anticipated and the chances are even
that Campbell will succeed himself as
Governor of Ohio.
1t is claimed by the Democrats that the
Australian ballot law which will be in
force at this election, will inure to the
benefit Of Democracy. Heretofore it has
been the custom for the manufacturers of
Ohio to give their employees ballots on
the night before election and instruct
their foreman to see that they are voted.
under the Australian ballot it will be
almost impossible for these tactics to be
successful and it is thought that large
numbers Of the operatives in the factories
who have heretofore been compelled to
vote the Republican ticket. will this year,
under the protection of secrecy. vote for
Campbell and Democracy.

Two Cities Compared.

A correspondent of the United States
Investor in the last number OF that paper
shows very plainly the advantage the
Southern banker has over his Northern
brother in the way Of earning dividends.
This corresponds Mt takes Providence, r.
l., and Augusta, Ga, as typical cities of
their respective sections, and shows that
in proportion to their capital stock the
Augusta banks earn over twice az much
rs those Of Providence. The lender is rs
secure in ono city as the other, in fact if
there is any difference in the security it is
in favor Of The Southern banker, as there
is no danger, where ordinary caution is
used, of there being any decrease in val
ues, but on the other hand there is a
steady and constant increase in almost
every Southern city, far beyond any in
crease any New England city could expect.
Providence with o population of 100000
people has a banking capital Of 1926
600, nearly $3.50 per capita. Augusta
with population Including it's sub
urbs) of $4,000 people, has q banking
capital of $765, 900, about A25 per capita.
Providence in proportion to population
has banking capital six times as great
az Augusta. This average, we believe,
will, with little variation, be kept up
throughout the sections in which the
cities are located. 1t is no matter for
surprise, therefore, that the man who has
a dollar to lend in the South can get over
twice as much for its use as the man in
ehe North He is in a country where the
development Of newly discovered re-
sources is causing an immense demand
for money. There are large numbers Of
borrowers in the market with ample Sc
cnrity that want his money, and are will-

Nearly twenty years ago we were look
ing over a fine herd of dairy COWS, owned
by very intelligent dairyman in New
York. Tne COWS were standing in the
yard, and we were much impressed by
the strong indications of tone, vigor and
thrift which marked every animal in the
herd. On inquiry we found that they
were not highly fed, yet they looked and
appeared better than some herds that
consumed a much larger daily ration.
The owner explained the mystery by say
ing that he ascribed the superior con-
dition of his COWS very largely to the
care he had taken IN the construction of
the stable, to have it well lighted. His
stable was on the south and cast side of
the barn, and the wall was filled with
windows with double sash. The stable
was as light as day in every part of it.
The owner reported that he had noticed
two peculiar effects: ~ The color of
the butter was much higher. Sunlight
was the secret. One principal reason
why winter butter is so much whittier than
summer butter is that the COWS do not
receive as much sunlight in the stable as
in the pasture. ~ He believed the
light, and consequent increase of heat,
decreased the consumption of food. At
any rate he thought he could winter his
COWS in the new, we'll lighted stable,
with considerable saving of food over
what was consumed in the old stable

voted to pasturage is that portion of
farm, which from its unevenuess, is not
specially we'll adapted to tillage, and if
it is supplied with springs or running
riVulets no better use can be made of it.
An English authority recently de-
scrlbed typical pasture for yearlinc
animals as one where the grass is only
moderately rich, but where there is a
regular growth of young grass. constant
supply OF running water, and ample
shade, either from trees or artificial
shelter. When young stock are placed
under such conditions they grow steadily
and keep in good order. 1t is astonish
ing on how small quantity of food the
animals will keep up their growth in dry
seasons, provided the pasture in which
they are placed is watered by running
stream, and nothing seems more essential
to their welfare than a plentiful supply
of water, and it is all the better if it is
IN the form of a stream rather than of
pond.
A fair range is desirable, but where
space is limited it is an aavautase to
have more than one enclosure, and use
these alternately, but tho grass should
not be allowed to get too large or too
old before the animals are put upon it.
Iearling cattle are the most suitable
animals to feed off young or newly laid.

WHIPPING BALKY HORSES,

Notwithstanding the fact that the press
continually admonishes whom it may
concern that it does no good to whip or
pound balliy horse, almost every owner
or driver of one does it to-day. 1t is
probably the greatest piece of horse folly
in existence. 1t is not a remnant of
barbarism, but it is continual barbarity
and brings out what original and &C
quired sin there is in man. The brain
of horse can retain but one idea at q
time. If the idea is to sulk, whipping
only intensiies 1t. A change of that
idea, then, is the only successful method
of management. This may be accom-
plished in scores, of ways, a few of which
will be named. Tie handkerchief about
his eyes, tie his tail tightly to the belly
band or back band; fasten stick in his
mouth, tie cord tightly about the leg,
uncheck and pet him awhile; clasp his
nostrils and shut his wind off until he
wants to go; unhitch him from the We
hicle and then hitch up again, or almost
any way to get his mind on something
else. Whipping or sco!ding always does
harm. The treatment should ever be
gentle. There are more balky drivers
than orses.-Nati0aal ,StockDaan.

BEANS AS GREEN MANURE,

Where beans are grown for sale while
green as string beans, they are harvested
about midsummer, and it is sometimes a
question what to do with the stalks.
They are then full of sap, and if plowed
under after the last picking of beans is
made will rot rapidly. Farmers know
that stock fed on dried bean straw in
winter make very rich manure. All
this the green bean straw has, with the
advantage of furnishing moisture to
make it at once available. The best
growth of fat turnips we ever saw is
growing this year where lot of green
bean stalks were plowed under as they
grew about the Doth of last July. The
crop promises an enormous yield, and
will turn those bean stalks into more
money, and quicker, than could be done
by drying and feeding them to any kind
of stock. Unfortunately, the bean is too
tender to sow Or plant early as an early
green manure, but probably crop of
peas might be sown in April and plowed
under a month later as manure for corn
or potatoes. Pea vines are as rich in
nitrogen as are those of the bean and
will make as good a fertilizer.-Boston

HOW TO FORM A PERFECT HEDGE,


To have hedge do its best, whether
deciduous Or evergreen, it should be
pruned twice season. The first prun-
ing should be done before the growth is
stopped, the second about the close of
summer, after the length of growth has
been completed for the season. On the
method Joseph Meehan writes as follows
in Practical Fdymsr: A hedge to be
perfect must be broader at the base than
at any other part. Summer pruning,
that is, the first one, is mainly to thicken
the hedge and strengthen the base. TO
do this, the top and most of the upper
branches are clipped off then, while the
lower ones are touched but little in an
old hedge and not at all in young one
IN which the shape has not been we'll
formed. AS soon as the tops are cut
away the sap flows to those remaining,
greatly invigorating them. In old hedges
where sap and business have been
attained, the whole Of the hedge may be
trimmed back to thicken it, but let the
severest cutting be at the top. For
every branch cut of half dozen new
ones form, so that in time hedge be-
comes so dense that bird can hardly fly
through it. After the first cutting there
will be more growth made, and this is
allowed to go on as long as it will.
When all growth has stopped, which will
be in September, in the Middle States,
the hedge is gone over again and cut clean
into a good shape, which should neither
be too round or too pointed. In con-
nection with this it may be said here
that single trees should be pruned in the
same way thet the hedge is. Business
comes from stopping the leading shoots
before they are done growing. Pruning
in winter acts the other way, encourag-
ing an extra strong top growth.

REQUIREMENTS OF YOUNG STOCK.

Notwithstanding the increasing use of
green soiling and its proftablenses, espe-
cially in the case Of dairy cows, our
animals are so largely raised upon grass
gathered by themselves that of all other
methods of feeding, this must always re-
main the most popular in its season.

In thinning out the flock of geese, al

often live and breed during the lifetime

to hatch and raise their young when
twenty-five years old. The old geese arc
not saable in market. and as they are
better layers and more careful mothers
than the young geese, the latter can be
marketed with more advantage and profit
than by selling off the old birds.-furm
