Glover or Florida peas are indeed,
the best handmade of the farmer on
olayey soil. Their value is simply
inestimable. They have no
rival O.. substitute as cheap and sure
means of increasing and maintaining
growth ofgrain crops.
"Is it not great deal easier to
destroy the weeds in stubbled fields
and vacated garden beds, before they
ripen seeds than to fight them in the
growing crops2" There is world
of meaning and useful suggestions
in this question.
One of the first principles in root
formation is the straight downward
taproot, with few if any side root
let's. The former is what maintains
the tree in position, and is the foun
dation, as it were, of the future
structure; but the latter exert the
greatest influence over it's growth
and we'll being.
The man who points out your
faults is not your enemy. The enemy
conceals them from you, rejoices in
them, and uses them to your detri-
ment. He is your friend who speaks
to you about them, tells you how to
avoid them and seeks to improve
your condition. Dairy World.

Speaking at recent meeting Pro-
fessor Roberts we'll said that he
would as soon set out 5000 peach
trees on an acre as SOW a bushel Of
corn for fodder on an equal surface
instead Of planting it in rows wide
enough apart to insure the quality
due to light and air. The stuff that
grows matted together sis compare
lively worthless, as no cow can eat
and digest enough Of it to sustain
life"
1t has been generally supposed
that the disease in the peach, popu-
larly known as "yellows," does not
exist in the South; but SITS rapid
spread and precautionary measures
for restricting the progress Of the
disease" was the subject Of one of
the addresses given before the last
meeting of the Georgia State Horti-
cultural Society.

compete with that of other sections

Here is the biggest money-maklng
industry for all Florida farmers now
lying out Of doors. We have made
a reciprocity treaty with San
Domingo, by lingo, and We find that
last year we only exported S47 worth
of hay to that island. What an
opening now awaits the Floridian
who has grass that will make most
excellent hay, cut it down, keep
plenty at home for the poor stock
next spring, and send the balance to
San Domingo. Will you do it? or
will you sit idly by and fool away
your time growing cotton at 6 cents
a pound. God put this grass all over
Florida for good purpose, but the
farmers are not treating its maker or
the grass right. II you don't cut
any for San Domingo, cut it for your
stock, and next spring let's hear less
slack making around that you can

ribs and hang your hat on their hip

Why is it that so many farmers
are dissatisfied with the farm
Simply for the reason that it is not
made attractive. Generally it's the
same old thing, ''break the ground
in the spring, harrow, plant, pillow
corn, gather corn In the fall" and so
on year after year-no change, no
new life, nothing to break the mo-
notony. Why not break this mo-
notony, invest in nice horse, some
blooded Holstein cattle, Poland Chi
ma hogs or sheep and some full
blooded poultry-s something to take
the mind away for a time from these
routine cares? Some people may
turn up their noses and look queer
when poultry is talked of, and say
"small potatoes" and such like !;
but nevertheless they should try it.
They will be surprised at the result.
1t infuses new life into the veins of
the boys land girls too); it gives
them something to care for during
odd spells, something to take pride
in, and by-and-by they will begin to
breed them, then offer them for sale,
then advertise them, and they will
find fascination about advertising
that will please the majority. Now
all of this helps to brighten the far
mer's life; it brings HIM in contact
with enlightened business men. If
he wishes be can attend the shows,
exhibit his stock and it all helps to
make his life more pleasant. Will
you try it, even if on a small scale ?

Agriculturist says:
A man should not attempt to Gull

He should not plant in an orange

should be planted to an acre.

One of the most sensational shooting scrapes that has occurred in Little Rock for many months took place on Main street the other day in the presence of several hundred people. Doc Summers, colored, highly-respected man among his race, had an altercation with John Little, proprietor of one of the leading barber-shops on Main street, in which harsh terms were used by both parties. Afterward Little met Summers, whom he claims had threatened his life, and as Summers turned his back to Little and started to leave Little whipped out a revolver and sent four bullets into his body Five minutes later Summers was dead. 1t seems that q duslSy dam sel was the cause of the murder Little has been arrested.

THE CAROLINE ISLANDS.

An English 0mcer Gives Not Altogether Creditable View of the Methods of American Missionaries in the Caroline IsIands-Whiie Looking After the Na- tives' Spiritualities They Are Not Nc- giecting Their Own Tcmporaiities.
 LONDON, Jan. 10-An English officer who has been visiting the Caroline Isl- ands, and has just returned home. gives some interesting facts in regard to the recent conflicts hesA4,zscn the natives and .i.s .i.s --si5,anish military forces in that locality. He declares that the whole trouble may be charged to the Ameri- can missionaries in the islands, who for various reasons are hostile to the Spaniards. There is, he says, natural jealousy between tili.. Spanish Catholics and the Protestant American mis- sions, but this plays only sub ordinate part in the diff ficulty. The Spanish missionaries confne themselves to religious work, and do not meddle with the temporal affairs of the people. There is crowd of hangers-on, he says, around the ject seems to be to prey upon the na- tives How far the missionaries them selves are responsible for the doings of these persons, he is not prepared to say, but allegations are freely made in the islands that some of the missionaries pay more attention to their own az grandizement than to the welfare of the people among whom they are sup posed to be laboring in the cause of re- ligion. Many of the missionaries have laid up goodly stocks of the treasures which moth and rust may corrupt, and they have introduced business systems in their dealings with the guileless natives, under the operation of which the lands of the people are rapidly passing into the hands of the foreigners. This has aroused con siderable discomfort among the natives on several portions of the islands and is to large degree responsible for the outbreak The natives do not stop to discriminate too nicely between the nationalities of the foreigners, and in fact they have been cunningly led to be- lieve that the Spanish invaders are alone to blame for the changed condition of their affairs Hence the attacks upon the Spaniards and other foreigners to- gether.
 The officer further alleges that the American missionaries knew before hand that the massacre of July last was to occur. They were cognizant of it the day previous, but refrained from notifying the proper authorities, with whom they were on bad terms and whom they did not object to seeing taken unawares. The missionaries took good care, however, to protect them- selves by removals or barricades.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Weekly Review of the State of Trade and
 Finance Throughout the Country as
 shown Through K. c. Dun X Co.'S Com
 merciaI Agency--The Monetary Pressure
 Somewhat Abated and the Volume of
 Trade Good-Business Failures, Etc.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 10.--R c. Dun tS Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 The hopeful feeling in most branches of trade continues and the railroad outlook is improved But in spite of this there has been much selling of securities on foreign ac- count The exchange has advanced from 464i2 last week to 4S6i2. The legis lative pros pect Is regarded by many with apprehension, and the situation in the Iron and cotton n- dusties is not satisfactory The iron and steel manufacture has been SO extended that shrnkage of credits has forced sales In many eases at prices below cost; hence works producing rails and other finished products are now idle, whose monthly consumption of pig iron Is es tlmated at 150OO0 tons, On the whole the prospect is considered less bright than t has been for many years in this industry. In the cotton manufacture also, the shrinkago of credit has severely strained many con. cerns and prices e goods have been very low and further reductions have been made during the past week in bleaehed cottous. The wooden manufacture Is doing fairly. Re-  much influenced by reviews of last years great business, but generally indicate large volume of traffic for the season with marked improvement since the monetary pressure abated. Boston notes larger sales of boots and shoes, and of leather and hides Chicago receipts of grain equal last years with a decrease in dressed beef, cured meats and lard. St. Louis and Cincinnati note better trade At Denver trade is good and at Salt Lake City decidedly improved, while at other north western points business is unchanged or comparatively quiet. Higher cotton produces greater activity throughout the south Sugar and rice receipts at New Orleans are good. The money markets through out the country are less stringent and reported cofl6etIons more favor able Speculative operations -eonttRpe wholesomely inactive. Foreign trade con tinues favorable, exports showing a large gain over last year, while there is some de- crease in imports.
 The business failures occurring through out the country during the past seven days, number. for the United States, 375, and for Canada 2s, or a total of l03, as compared with a total of S8s last week, and 33S the week previous to the last. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 373.
