NATURE CONTESTANTS.

The European wheat crop is shorter
than for many years, but the American
yield is SO abundant that we can ship
millions of bushels abroad and still feed
our hungry. The United States will
have surplus crop in corn, wheat and
cotton to the value of nearly half a
billion of dollars. If England is able to
hold that American gold against the
loud and persistent call which tho
United .'tatcs will begin to make for it
within the n'Hxs thirty days she will

GOV. CAsIppELI;s DEMONSTRATIONS.

AS forecast in The TIMES Governor
Campbell's denomination in Ohio camo
on the first ballot. His strength was
irresistible and opposition went down
before his we'll organized forces like
wheat before the reaper. 1t seems to be
we'll understood that his campaign will
have the assistance of Democrats of
national Importance. Not merely be-
cause the Ohio campaign on Governor
Campbell's part is a national campaign,
but because the defeat of Major Nc
Kinley could have no other construc
ton than the national defeat of The Re-
publican party.
Governor Campbell has never been de-
feated at the polls. He was elected
again and again to Congress; his early
political history contains not single
defeat, and tho whole country will
watch the Ohio campaign with undated
interest until the election returns come
in. If it be found then that Governor
Campbell's luck is still with him. the
ma of the next Democratic convention
will be subject to change. The man who
can defeat the champion of the pet Re-
publican principle in banner Repub-
lican State in 1891 can do the same
thing in 1892, and Ohio has twenty
three electoral votes.

A short distance beyond Mr. Hsrlow's,

Townscnd road, but still within sight of
the city steeples, at least Until Just as
you descend a slight hill before reaching
the buildings, is the milk farm of Mr..
James Duncan and we are right in call
ing it model farm. Mr.. Duncan is one
OF our most esteemed citizens, genuine
Scotchman, having been born in Dunn
fries. but who has lived in Augusta about
twenty five years. His farm comprises
eighty five acres Of magnificent land,
cuts about forty tons of hay and is all
capable OF cultivation, there being no
waste land and no wood land upon it.
Mr.. Duncan's herd comprises twenty
five milch cows, all but four of which
are now giving milk, and we have not
seen for many day anywhere, so clean,
handsome and healthy band of cows
as are standing in Mr.. Duncan's stable.
This cow stable is in the basement of
the old barn rebuilt by Mr.. Duncan five
or six years ago, is laid UP in split
granite, abundantly lighted from the
south but protected on all other
sides from the cold winds, and
as the solid earth forms the northern end
of this tie,up it is Just as warm as a Gel
lar. Water comes into this stable in the
,..; L., hn no
cows drink without going out of their
warm quarters. and in the coolest wealth
er the water never freezes here. Indeed
it ia never cold in this basement, and
the cows are always at their best. The
need of good ventilation is well under
stood and provided, which is an impor
tant matter in conducting to the health
fulness of the animals.
Mr. Duncan's new barn was built
in 1890 and is IS by so feet, standing
upon granite foundation. the basement
being used for manure and storage pur-
poses This barn Is connected with the
old one by sheds and the yard is pro-
tected by these buildings from the cold
winds while the sun pours into it during
the short winter days all day long. Con-
uected with the COW stable, but shut off
from ii by double doors and recess
through which the air of heaven is con-
stsntly pouring, is the milk room. This
is provided with running water and a
large tank through which it passes ia
used during the summer months for the
storage of the nights milk, The
milk is put up ia cans and
placed in this tank where It remains over
night, becoming perfectly cooled and is
then served to customers. Every appli
snce for the economical handling Of the
milk, washing Of the cans, etc, is here
provided. and the room contains stove
