AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

Medium sized hogs now bring The
largest prices.
The milk is largely affected by the
physical condition of the cow.
Agriculture and horticulture should
be taught in the country schools.
Itrequires about twenty-five pounds
of milk to make pound of butter.
The number of sheep killed by dogs
every year is said to exceed 10000.
There is scarcity of sugar beet
seed in Europe owing to the drought.
1t is said that seedless apples have
been produced at Columbus, Oregon.
There are 100000 of cocanut
trees growing upon the island of Cey-
Ion.
Experienced butter-makers say that
too much washing spoils the flavor of
butter.
The great food crops of the world
are wheat, corn, oats, rye, rice, and po-
tatoes.
In England acorns mixed with grass
are considered good food for sheep
and pigs.
In Schleswig- Holstein there are
1853 creameries run on cooperate
principles.
The currant crop of Greece this
year is estimated to amount to 10000
900 poundS.
To make dairying a success, a
dairyman must be a worker and a
business man.
Well-drained land makes the soil
better, and manures act more readily
and with better results.
OF late years more improvement has
taken place in the dairy than in any
other part of farm work.
Freezing Injuries butter, but if it is
to be held long in storages it will be
damaged if kept unfrozen.
Aim high and breed upward. There
is far less competition at the top, and
consequently prices are much better. (

duced in the United States has doub-

Money for the Nicaragua Canal.

The suggestion has been thrown out
that the purpose of the committee of the
directors of the Nicaragua Canal Com
pany that started for London few days
ago was not to get capital with which TO
build the canal, as alleged, but to bluff"
congress into passing the bill authorizing
the Endorsement by the government of
the canal company's bonds. 1t is limited
that if there were a syndicate of English
capitalists ready to furnish the necessary
money for the building of the canal, as
alleged, something would have been
heard of il long before this.
Admiral Ammen, in letter to the Bal
timore Sun, discusses this suggestion at
considerable length. He says there is
no truth in the suggestion, and that the
committee of the canal company has
gone to London on a perfectly legitimate
errand He announces that the
company has received overtures from a
syndicate of English capitalists to furnish
all the money needed for building the
canal, and that the, chances are
that the committee and the syn
dictate will reach an agreement. The
congress TO act upon the Nicaragua canal
bill, and, besides, it is not at all pleased
with the eXacting demands of congress.
In his opinion the canal will pay big divi-
dends upon the money inves ted in it, and
this government, if it should indorse the
canal bonds, would not lose a cent and
would, besides, have virtual control of
the canal.
The Englismen, Admiral Ammen saws.
who have agreed to provide the money
for the construction of the canal, are
financially able to carry out any contract
they may make. Their desire is not to
control the canal in the interest Of Eng
land, but TO make money out of the invest
ment
II is fair to presume that Admiral
Ammen is entirely sincere in what
he says If the money for
the construction OF the canal
can be obtained in England il will not be
long before the fact is known. 1t Is pos
sible, Of course, that there are men in
England who have so much faith in the
proposed canal and its earning capacity
that they are willing TO put their money
into IL as an investment, but in view of
the disastrous outcome OF the effort TO
construct the Panama canal II is ques-
tionable whether sufficient money can be
obtained in England or elsewhere in
Europe to carry into effect the Nicaragua
project.

Mr.. S K. levin, who was arrested and
carried to the barracks-in the police
wagon at the request of City De-
tective Levy, and who made a com
plant of the matter to the city
council at It's meeting Wednesday
night, feels that he was the victim of an
outrage, and it looks as if he was. He
has taken steps to have an investigation,
and very properly so. The investigation
should be a thorough one; and if it ap-
pears that he is the victim of the
malice of the detective he should
have all the redress that it is
possible to give him. AS far
as the public now knows there was no oc-
casion for subiecting him TO the indig-
nifty of being taken TO the barracks in the
police wagon.
Every citizen is interested in this case
for the reason that if an officer of the
city is permitted to use his power to
vent his spite upon one citizen he
may use it improperly when he has spite
against other citizens. The outcome of
the investigation which Mr.. Levin has
inaugurated will be watched with a good
deal Of interest If it is shown that he is
the victim of an outrage, the city should
dispense with the services of Detective
Levy very promptly

The Piti1ess Drouth.


Z OHl Jue indianapolis JOURNAL.
On a fiery wind from the torrid south,
over the prairie rode the Drouth;
And the clouds, like sheep when a wolf come 8
nigh,
All panic-stricken fed the sky.
Each day the sun hurled his fierce darts
down,
Blighted fields grew yellow, grew brown,
While sitting Nature appealed in vain
Laughed the DrOugh at her prayer for rain.
Painting and furious cattle rushed
Whilher fountain cool had gushed,
And, Wild-eyed. beloved in mad despair
To find DO trace OF water was there.
The sparrow deserted her dying brood
And songless, sped to the dis ant wood
Only the rattlesnake oasked in the sun,
Reveling in fire like the Evil One.
When the day declined, cen the moonbeams
white
Glowed hot. with shimmering sultry light.
And the pitiiess stars the long night through
Shed never kindly tear of dew.
Oh, the ruthless Drouth. like demon il
came
A monster dragon with breath OF fame,
Burning the sky TO an asheu gray,
whitening the life OF the prairie away.
And the storm that ragged when the Drouth
was gone
Found little TO wreak its veng eance on
Found naught but Drown. barren plain
10 mock with useless food OF rain.

The skidawav Bridge.

The facts laid before the county com
missioners by Commissioner Charlton
Wednesday in connection with the pro-
posed Skidaway bridge should be given
very careful consideration by the com
missioners before authorizing the building
of the bridge. From an investigation
made by him it appears that the county
derives only $50 40 year in taxes from
Skidaway Island, and the services Of a
man to attend the bridge would cost a
great deal more than that. 1t is proposed
that the county shall build a bridge that
will cost pretty nearly as much
as the taxable value of the prop
erty on the island 1t is true,
probably, that the bridge would increase
to some extent the value of the land, but
would it not be a long time before the
taxes the island would yield would be
sufficient to pay for bridge attendance
and repairs, and the interest on the
money the bridge would cost2
Naturally those who own land on the
island, and those who live there, want a
bridge. The question, however, Is
whether the money the bridge would cost
could not be used to better advantage in
improving the drainage and roads in the
vicinity of the city. The city property
holders pay nearly all the taxes of the
county, and it hardly seems right
TO apply so large a sum for an
improvement in part of the county in
which they have scarcely any interest.
If the county treasury were Overlooking
the situation would be different. AS a
matter of fact, however the demand on
the treasury for drainage and road i'm
provements and school houses is greater
than tho commissioners can meet. Com
missioner Charlton's position appears to
be the right one.

The Ticket and Platform.

The ticket nominated by the democratic
convention at Atlanta yesterday is one
that ought TO, and will. call out a full
democratic vote, and the resolutions are
all that any true democrat could desire.
The President is heartily commended for
his courage, wisdom, honesty and patriot
ism, and his position on the financial
question is Endorsed.
The great fight in the committee on
resolutions was over the silver issue.
The conclusion that was finally reached,
however, was in favor Of honest
money, and this conclusion was heartily
approved by the convention.
There IS no objection by anybody 10 the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver upon
such conditions as will insure the parity
of gold and silver currency and give
every dollar in circulation, whether coin
or paper, the same debt-paying and
purchasing power" This is in effect
the declaration of the financial plank of
the national democratic platform, and it
is what the MORNING News and other
papers that want sound money favor.
The people of Georgia are on the side of
sound money, The declaration of the
democracy of the state leaves no room
for doubt on that point.
Other resolutions, particularly those
promising liberal support to the public
schools and condemning lynch law, are
admirable, and will help TO give tine
ticket a majority equal to that of two
years ago.

One Wise and One Foolish Serpent.

markable snake story as he sat in the country
store after he had sod bill CT Foods. and a
countryman, with some young pull cts to sell

snake of his acquaintance which had habit
of stealing eggs. He would go out md load
up on them, swallowing them whole. and then
climb tree, fan off and break the shells, and
h digestion would do the rest. The coun-
tryman looked at the drummer with some de-
gree OF doubt when the story was finished
but he never questioned its VeraciouSneSS.
