ABSOLUTELY PURE
Does Drainage Pay.

One may talk by the hour to the
average farmer about the effects of
drainage, and explain how the drawing
OF water from the soil by the buried
pipe also draws in the air, which
loosens and msllows the soil, etc. he
will only look with open mouth and
ask docs it pay to put much money
into these ere bitches ?" Yes. Mr..
Farmer, after an experience of35 wears
| rise to say it pays.
In 1849 we had in one of our grain
fields a narrow valley, about six rods in
width and one hundred and twenty
rods in length. 1t was very wet and
only produced swampy grass of no
value. 1t being very incOnvenient to
plow around We dug a drain through
1t and laid a waterway of stone. Then
we cultivated it with the rest of the
field and planted crops of wheat, oats,
corn and hay alternately. For fifteen
years it produced enormous crops
every year and without any failnre.
Then the drain became choked by slit
and We could raise nothing but the
wild swamp grasses. After four years
OF ldleness we again drained with six
inch pipes and again it produced ex-
cellent crops. This season we have
again taken off crop of hay at the
rate OF ten cents per acre. In all this
time we have never put manure on,
yet the crops show no sign of diminu-
ton. Is it not safe to say that "it has
paid?"
Again, we have field of eighteen
acres of rolling land, soil, heavy CLAW.
very wet iO spring and very hard and
dry in summer. Being upland it has
been in cultivation for fifty years, vet
never producing paying crop. The
usual yield of wheat has been about
eight bushels per acre; oats, 20 bushels;
corn, 10 to 20 bushels, and hay, 900 to
1000 pounds per acre. In the winter
of 1881 and 1882 we drained the fields
with parallel drains, four rods apart
and two and half to three feet in
depth. The following spring we
planted it in corn, but the ground was
so very hard that the crop was a fail
ure. In the spring of 1883 we sowed it
with oats and gathered a crop of 80
bushels per acre as a result of draining.
We plowed in the oat stubble and
followed with winter wheat. The
crop was pnched by drought lasting
from the first of May until harvest,
and the crop weighed out about 25
bushel Is to the acre, an increase of Is
bushels per acre. This season we have
taken off fine crop of hay, no less
than three tons per acre. The account
stands thus:
Increase of oat crop, 80 bushels, so cents $500
Increase of wheat crop, Is bushels, % cents 1925
Increase of hay crop 5000 lbs. 35 cents 7.75

School Notes.

' School Notes. B. D#
10y the pupils Of tho English GLASS. High School.
An interesting lecture on Jamaica
was given by Prof. Wilson in the High
School chapel last Friday evening.
The usual range of the Their
mometer in Jamaica is
from 700 to 85o-no excessive
heat, no frost-a perfect climate. The
scenery is beautiful. AS one enters
the island he sees along the coast
beautiful palm trees and cocoanut,
banana, orange and coffee planta-
tions. Advancing from the shore
beautiful mountains, covered with
rich tropical vegetation rise up before
him; in fact, every quarter mile new
and rich view appears. The country
is very rough; all the land on which
buildings are erected has to be leveled
with the hoe, making as much ex-
pense to get the land ready for build
ing as to build the house.
1t is wonderful the rapidity with
which plants grow, and the places
and ways in which they grow. Some
of the prettiest flowers grow from
craggy rocks with no soil at all, living
on air alone, and taking shapes like
birds, insects, and imps. Then there
ia a water-lily, whose leaves are six to
eight feet in diameter, and will bear
the weight of boy. He showed
some apple seeds that were two
inches in diameter; some beans that
were about as large around as dol
lar, while the pod in which they grow
is as long as persons arm. The chief
native foods are the yam and bread
fruit. The yam is something like our
potato, but two feet in length and
grows straight down into the ground.
The breadfruit furnishes the natives
with toOd from SIX to eight months IN
the year. This fruit is picked off the
tree, put in the oven, and baked as
we do our bread; it's taste is something
like that of baking powder biscuit.
The principal productions of the is
land are sugar and coffee. The sugar
grows near the coast, and coffee up in
the mountains. At the close of the
lecture Mr.. Wilson invited all who
wished, to look over the many speci-
mems which he had gathered in ia
maica. They were curious and in

A FEW THINGS WHICH INTERESTED ME AT
THE WORLDS FAIR.

which came over me 40 ! entered the
White City, on the morning OF Sept
ID. and saw for the first time, the
broad streets, the beautiful white
buildings, the green plazas, and the
lagoons with graceful gondolas Gid
ing over their smooth waters.
The descriptions and pictures of the
buildings and grounds do not give a
correct idea of their appearance
There is beauty about them which
must be seen to be appreciated.
As we entered the grounds at Fifty
seventh street, the state buildings
claimed our first attention. Among
these Minnesota, Illinois, California
and New York, interested me most.
The Minnesota building is of Italian
design, two stories high, with mez-
canine story in the rear. The roof is
of Spanish tile.
In the recess within the main en-
trance is sculptural group in bronze
of Minnehaha and Hiawatha, under
which are these words of Longfellow:
'Over wide and rushing waters,
In his arms, he bore the Maiden
This statue was paid for, by penny
collections from the school children
of Minnesota, and we contributed to-
wards it..
The exhibit in the building is good,
but not extensive. There are large
collections of Indian relics, stuffed
animals and birds. The botanical
collection is credit to the state, and
I think we may we'll be proud of the
exhibit sent by Mr.. Foot, one of our
Mobiles county farmers. After regis
tering here, went to the Art Palace,
and at the entrance I purchased a
catalogue, expecting to fix in my
mind the name OF each exhibit; but I
soon found it impossible, as there are
over two thousand pictures in the
United States collection alone. I en-
joyed the United States display more
than the others, perhaps because I
understood the subjects better.
In the Manufactures and Liberal
Arts building the exhibits are so
large and varied that can hardly tell
what interested me most. One thing
to which my attention was especially
attracted was very handsome set of
parlor furniture. The framework
looked like highly polished brass
and it was upholstered in delicate
shades of very fine tapestry.
This set was sent from Berlin

was very anxious to see the ILL.,
nois building, as Illinois is my native
state. To me the most interesting
features of this building were the
grottoes with their fountains and
miniature lakes; but an old soldier
would probably have stopped in the
entrance of the building to sec the
large collection of company and regi-
mental flags.
The California building would
hardly be safe place to let children,
or even grown people, have full liberty,
for the fruits would be too tempting
to resist.
One of the novelties of the fruit dis
play is life sized figure of a man on
horseback, covered entirely with
prunes.
On the second floor of this building
is the display of different kinds of
wood. Some of these woods are sus-
ceptible of high polish and many
are hand painted in designs of fruits
and flowers.
In the Government building is
portion of one of the large trees of
of California. It is about twenty feet
in diameter and fifteen feet high. In
the center is winding stairway lead
ing to the top. The delightful sensa-
tons which I experienced as I entered
the White City the first time were re-
peated when 1 viewed an evenings
illumination in the Grand Central
Court, called the Court of Honor. In
the centre of this court is the basin
which connects the various branches
of the lagoon with Lake Michigan.
At the head of the Court of Honor
and facing the lake stands the Ad-
ministration building, in front of
which is the famous MacMonnies
fountain with an electric fountain on
each side of it. The basins of these
fountains are twenty feet in diameter
and the water rises to height of one
hundred twenty feet. The water from
the central cone rises straight up and
from the smaller ones circles toward
the centre. While one stands listen
ing to the music by the band and
watching these fountains, the basin
surrounded by gems of electic light,
the showers of fire from the manu-
features buildings, the search lights
shedding their rays on the MacMon-
MES fountain, and the gilded Statue of
the Republic, one can we'll imagine
himself in fairy land.-SAD1E LEWIS,

u The ADVANCE would be pleased tc
!, have some of it's astute democratic ex-
/ changes tell us why it is that there
/ has been such cutting down in the
number of employees in industrial
pursuits in the United States since
v the advent of free trade democracy
One year ago statistics showed that
there were 169,423 hands employed;
today there are but 67,66O; weekly
wages paid year ago amounted to
s$1, 100000. September LIST showed
that but $4,000 were paid weekly to
employees. Since free trade demo-
crazy showed it's stubborn head 100
1000 skilled laborers have been thrown
out of employment. What does this
mean to the average farmer of Mobiles
county, and all over the United States,
in fact? It means that the 100000
idle men and their families will live
on shorter rations and will therefore
cease to be large consu mers, as they
were when drawing a full salary.
This is only one branch of the many
Industries; others are alike effected.
This is one of the fruits of a demo-
cratic victory.

ing at the head of it's editorial page
these words: Largest circulation in
Mobiles county" We would like to
inquire how Mr.. Perry knows the
Globe has the largest circulation in
Mobiles county. Does he know the
exact circulation of all the other
papers? So far as the ADVANCE is
concerned, it makes no pretentions to
a large circulation. We are printing
800papers each issue, and receive from
five to fifteen new subscribers a week.
This record suits us all right. The
Globes express charges are seventy
cents a week, which would indicate
not over fourteen or fifteen quires-or
$50 papers. Does the Globe editors
presume to say that this is the largest
circulation of any paper in Mobiles
county, The ADVANCE will wager a
reasonable amount that the Globe S
circulation is the smallest. What
would give the Globe the largest
circulation in the county? It is not
> a republican, democratic, prohibition
or farmers alliance publication, and
until quite recently was as poora local
paper as one would meet in a days
travel. There must be other infu-
ences that brought the Globes
"large" circulation. If the Globe
hasn't the largest circulation in the
county, and Mr.. Perry prints $50
papers week, he tell $50 falsehoods
every week-enough to damn the soul
of saint.
!. If Mr.. Perry printed his paper
in California, and kept standing in
its columns the words quoted at the
beginning Of this article, he would
have to prove the assertion or go to
the penitentiary. In that state no
newspaper is allowed to make a false
statement for the purpose of obtaining
advertisements; which law ought to
be in force in Minnesota. It's good
law and no honest man could object
to it. We hope the Globe has the
''largest" circulation, but the evidence
at hand would clearly Indicate that
it has the smallest; which, however, is
no disgrace, until the publisher as
sumes to mislead the public into the
!. belief that it is the largest in the
county"
& We hope Mr.. Perry will see the in
justice of the words he uses and take
them down, or support his claim by
an affidavit. Advertisers are entitled
to this.

ever since l gave the question the
study and thought that it deserves.
I suppose that we are "heretics" &C
cording to the house definition OF re-
publicanism. But If we defend our
position as courageously as you do
the Clevelandites will have more of a
task driving us out of the party than
they are figuring on. ] Wrote a U. s.
senator the other day and I used this
Ian, -,uage: II note what you say
about the condition of affairs in the
senate. 1t is a deplorable spectacle
and still l must confess that / feel
very much chagrined to think that
the republicans should make such
haste to condemn republican legisla-
ton and to become Cleveland's fore
most champions for the single gold
standard. Why couldn't the repub-
licans at least have made it a condi-
ton for their joining the Cleveland
forces that he carry out the republi-
can policy to the extent of reconven-
ing the monetary conference that he
SO unceremoniously continued. Cleve-
lands dictatorial arrogance makes me
'hot." First, he postpones the con-
ference indefinitely. Then connives
with England to further depress silver,
and finally calls congress together
and commands it to discontinue the
use of additional silver. What claim
has such action on republican sup
port'
suppose that my views are hereti-
cal, but l cannot refrain from ex-
pressing them when I see our people,
and especially the farmers, in dis
tress. Hauling wheat to town to sell
at II to 49c per bushel and then think
that their competitors in India, Argen-
tina, Russia. Austria Hungary, ETC.,
are selling their wheat at the old and
customary prices in their money
(reckoned in silver the price of wheat
has not fallen) it makes me curse the
jugglery that brings such evil upon
us. Our people can not stand this
unfair competitor. It is killing our
farmers. It suggests questions that
the Cleveland party will have to
answer. How can we as republicans
answer them?
want to say to you, Frank, that I,
as republican, deprecate and repud-
late this unholy Cleveland alliance
that some of our party friends are
trying to commit us to. And like
yourself l propose to miss no oppor-
tunity to express my resentment at
such action and preach what believe
to be the true republican doctrine
bi-metalism, and silver and gold
money of the Constitution
