Atlanta Constitution says Of it; MI.
Forbes has received from Michigan q
few stalks Of this years growth
of fax. Heretofore his experiments
with the fax fiber has been
made with old stalks that have
been subjected to the rotting or sub
merging process. From these new
stalks, he produced, in an incredibly
short space of time, the most beautiful
fiber we have yet seen. 1t is fine a
silk and as glossy, and altogether sa-
perior to the fiber that results from The
retting or rotting system. Mr.. Forbes
process is also cheaper than rettlng.
This will do away with slow and tedioul
methods and is likely to encourage th'
growth of fax. which has an established
place among the valuable textiles iron
which durable fabrics are spun Q
woven.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
PROGRESS IN FARMING.

Are We as Far in Advance of Our
Ancestors as We Think We Are
The world in it's egotism always mag
ines itself away ahead of the genera
tions of the past in wisdom and prac-
tice. We of this age, and especially in
this country, imagine thatwe have made
great strides in agriculture. But have
we advanced as much as we imagine
that we have? This is truly an age Of
invention, in which it excels. Is not
most of our progress due more to inn
proved machinery and implements than
to any new and more effective practice
based on discovery of principles and the
invention of better methods? Let us
look back for moment to the days of
Greece and Rome, when war and the
fine arts are supposed to have
been the chief manly occupations.
Pliny appears to have understood how
one crop enriches the soil while another
impoverishes it. If the farmers soil be
run down, he says: Let him, in that
case, help himself thus: Let him SOW
next years crop on the field where he
has just gathered his beans, vetches or
iupines; or such other crop as enriches
the ground; for, indeed, it is worth
notice, that some crops are sown for no
other purpose but as food for others-a
poor practice, in my estimation" Is
not this hint at green-manuring and
the nitrogen-gathering crops? He says
as to the time of cutting wheat: THE
best time to cut it down is before
the grain gets hard, when the ear
begins to have reddish-brown APP
pearance. Better two days too
soon than as many too late,' is a
good old maxim, and might pass for an
oracle. :" Cato had his ideas about farms
and farming. He held that farm
should be good and fertile; that there
be plenty of laborers near it, and that it
be not far from a large town; moreover
that have sufficient means for transport
ing its products, either by water or land.
Also that the house be we'll built, and
the land about it we'll managed. But :"
he continues, II observe a great error
and self-deception which many men
| commit, who hold that the negligence
and i'll -husbandry of the former owner is
ROOu 4OE his SUCCESSOR OF diG0f-p PURCHASER
Now, say there is nothing more dan
gerous and disadvantageous to the buy
er than land so left waste and out of
heart" Could a modern Cato counsel
wiser? When asked the bsst source of
profit on the farm, he replied: ITO
feed stock WE'LL" and ito feed with
moderation" or true economy. The
advanced farmer of to-day believes in
making his farm produce as far as pos
| sible whatever is needed for use on it.
Cato said, "a good husbandman ought
to be seller rather than buyer" and
that he ought ''to make use and derive
profit from other mems follies." As Mr..
Hoskyns, the English writer, says: 'It
is curious to read such passages as these
and to find the very same objects still
handled, week after week, in fresh and
eager controversy, in the agricultural
writings and periodicals of the present
day, eighteen centuries after those
opinions were written. Rural World.

MONEY IN TRoTTERs.

Farmers Waking to the Fact That it
Paws to Breed Good TrottIng stock.
TIE better class of farmers are walk
ing up to the fact that there is money
in breeding trotting-bred horses, but
great many OF them go at it in way
that will cause them sooner or later to
drop it in disgust. There are some that
go at it right and these are the ones
that stick to it and make money at it.
The first and more numerous class are
men that have the proverbial mare that
can "trot mile in three minutes any
day." and she is usually Morgan or
Messenger, which in nine cases out of
ten means nothing. This mare is bred
to some good horse at service fee Of
one or two hundred dollars, with the
expectation of getting a colt that will
bring a price as large as the farmer
reads that other colts are selling for.
At about this time, however, he is apt to
find out that his ccSs won't sell for more
than an ordinary price, for while it is
good colt, the dam has no breeding, md
has never produced any speed, and the
breeder must take what he is offered or
keep the colt and develop his speed,
which takes so long time and costs so
much money that he will give I'D in
disgust and declare that there is no
money in raising trotters. His neigh
bor who belongs to the second class /
mentioned, looks over the ground be-
fore he makes venture and finds that
in order to sell he must breed what
people want, and, furthermore, finds
that buyers will only pay big prices for
colts from producing families who have
proven their worth, and that the more
producing blood there is in the colt
the more they are willing to pay
for him. He finds, in fact, that
buyers never go away from home
to buy animals of ordinary breed
ing, for they can be bought anywhere
but they will go long ways to get
something choice, and for such will pay
long prices, In view of these facts, he
sells his mares of no breeding and takes
the money he gets for them and pro-
eeeds to watch for a chance to buy one
or two mares from producing families
and from producing dam if possible.
He finds one to suit him, buys her and
breeds her to a good individual of some
| fashionable family, and when his COLTS
weaned and ready to sell, has only to
let buyers know what he has got to sell
| at price that will net him more money
on his investment than any other de.
Dartment of his farm can possibly give
him. These are the two ways of start.
ing in to breed trotters. The first will
bring failure and disgust the other
much pleasure and sure prof -Massa.

4 JUPITER PLUYIUS
Modern Claims that Rain can be
Manufactured.
MELBOURNE AND UNCLE SAM
While the Government Experiments are
Working on Scientific Principles the
Private Individual is Humbugging.

The cause Of rain is as well known to
meteorologsts as the cause of dyspepsia is
to physicians. Rain is produced by the
meeting of two air currents having differ
ent temperature. When the meeting is
slow and gradual it will produce clouds
only; when it is sudden and rapid, rain will
ensue, or snow, sleet or hail.
Knowing this as well as we do, the only
difficulty in the way of manufacturing
rain is the impossibility of bringing two
different air currents together by artificial
means.
Mostly through the influence of Senator
Stanford, of California, the last Congress
appropriated 100000 for the purpose of
finding such means, if possible. The popu-
lar belief has long existed that heavy explo-
slons, cannonades, ETC., precipitation rain,
which might be explained scientifically on
the same principle as the precipitators of
hail. Through the agitation the warm sur
race air Is pushed upward to high alti-
tude, where it meets the colder currents,
and when the two commingle
RAIN is PRODUCED.
This is the scientific explanation that
could be made if the supposition Of this
cause and effect were confirmed. But it
that there was heavier precipitation over
the theartre of war than normal Nor is
this proved in France, in 1S70-1, where
cannonadlng was prosecuted for many
months without intermission with the
heaviest ordnance known in modern war
fare, from the investment of Srassburg to
that of Paris.
1t proverbially rains on ST Patrick day
In the morning, but it isn't due to concus-
sion. Maybe it is due to the secret process
which Prof. Melbourne has snatched away
from nature and applies in his mysterious
Vaccinations. As we understand it. he re-
| tires to barn, gazes through hole in the
roof and then announces that on
a certain day he will furnish
certain amount of rainfall within
| given radius and at the appointed time the
rain, the amount and the radius are all
punctually forthcoming Well,
PROF. MELBOURNE IS COMING TO SALT LAKE
as delegate to the irrigation congress and
as a matter of courtesy we don't care to
call him a humbug; otherwise we should.
| He has not scintilla of evidence to stand
on that any scientist would consider even
for moment for his reckless claim.
1t is different of course with the govern
ment eXperimenters who observe the
principle first enunciated. There is nc
doubt whatever but what they Will exhaust
the 100000 appropriated by the govern
ment, in the latest approved method, but as
for any other practical achievement we
doubt it. Still there is so much involved
in the matter for US in Utah that we are
| willing to watch and wait, and if necessary
pray. What a blessing 1t would be Il
mankind if rain could be furnished to order
and in quantities to suit

GENERALIZATION In THE POLICE
COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Parsons Resigns and Chairman Anderson
Will Follow Suit.

Mr.. Parsons Resigns and Chairman Anderson
Will Follow Suit.
AS result of the action of the city coun-
Gil last Tuesday night in refusing to adopt
the majority report Of the police committee
Councilman Parsons yesterday rendered
his resignation as member of that com
mittee to Mayor Scott. In explaining his
reasons for this act, Mr.. Parsons said: 81
believe that when body loses confidence
in it's committee and ignores the commit
tees report it is time for the committee to
quit. l consider it due to my self respect
to step out and make room for some one in
whose Judgment the council has more con-
fidence. l am satisfied that majority of
the committee view the matter in the same
light as myself, but do not know what
course they will pursue"
From other sources it was learned that
Chairman Anderson would also tender his
resignation. Of course the designations
will be accepted.
