NEW YORK. Jan. 7.--The tendency Of prices the opening London came in as buyer a be- lief obtaining abroad that the caucus of the democratic congressman will result in some thing tangible in the way Of curren'y leR1sia- ton. The foreigners. it is estimated, bought about 5000 shares ot various stocks, which is at the start on semi official statements that the company would declare it's regular, divi- dend. The directors subsequently met and ordered the payment of the usual rate Of 1R9 per cent on and after January 25. This led to jump of points in the stock, to 75. Part of the gain was lost in later trading, when there of the usual quarterly dividend in New Jersey Central of l A. per cent, payable February l. month past that the rate would be cut, started lively covering movement, and the stock prominent stocks moved up IA to 1s. per cent. The improvement was more pronounced in Sugar the grangers, Manhattan, Louisville The only really weak spot in the list was Mis- souri Pacific, which dropped from 247s to 22!s on liquidations. The selling is still attributed to the poor showing made by the company for the fourth week and month of December In the late trading the best figures of the day were generally current. Speculation left of firm in tone, with prices anywhere from A 10 per cent higher than Saturday. Distilling and Cattle Feeding lost ls and Missouri Pacific 1ss per cent.

How to Keep Dairy Cattle Toned up Dur
ing the Winter.

Many of our Southern farmers either
have not yet.learned the Importance of
the silo, or they are afraid of it's cost,
hence the keeping of ensilage for cattle
in winter is with them an untried step
in agriculture.
1t is to this class especially that l adj
dress the few following remarks on the
subject of winter pasture. My rem arks
are applicable to rye or barley, so the
farmer wishing to follow my mode of
culture can plant either. | prefer rye
possibly because | have grown it more
than l have barley.
Of course there are other crops that
could be planted for winter pasture, for
instance the clover, but it is now too late
for crimson clover, and red clover will
be discussed in another article.
My plan is to break the land as early
in the fall as possible with two horse
plow turning under all organic matter
possible in addition to the manure
scattered broadcast.
Inasmuch as few OF us in the South
have barnyard manure enough to go
over as large an area as winter pasture
would require, we have to supplement-
with cotton seed, and commercial ferti-
lizers. There are many brands of good
fertilizer on the market, and fortunately
for the farmer in most states at least,
they are worth all tn at is asked for them.
But according to my experience and OBJ
servatlon most crops would do better
with a larger amount of potash than is
put in the average fertilizer sold in the
market.

A Horticultural Wonder Oassabanana.

vatOr. Ii any OF our readers have heard
or know anything of the fruit referred
to, we would like to hear from them
One of the chief characteristics of the
Cassabanana appears to be it's keeping
and shipping qualities, and if it has
other notable virtues it might pay the
horticulturists of Florida to investigate
it. Mr.. Normand writes:
This wonderful fruit is produced on a
vine of very rapid growth. an annual,
belonging to the melon family, that will
climb to the top of a tall tree and all
over it in one season. Planted close to
wall, its tendrils will catch on with a
rem ark able tenacity, and climb to the
top OF four or five story building. The
fruits are the shape and size of a bologna
sausage, twelve to eighteen inches long,
and three to four inches in diameter,
aud of bright scarlet color, when fully
ripe, and have a strong fragrance of the
pineapple-indned, so strong is it's aroma
that it will scent a whole building with
it's delightful odor. 1t requires long
season to perfect and produce an album
dant crop, ripening here from August to
way after frost. In the North the seeds
should be started in pots, early IN the
spring, and set out IN open ground. when
danger of severe cold is over. The keep
ing quality of the fruit is something re
markahle. Last year picked lot of
them after several frosts, about the lat
ter part Of November, and put them
away. They colored up nicely. and
kept sound until January following,
and we made some nice preserves with
them. In order to test it's shipping
qualities and find out it's true botanical
name, shipped few sample fruits to
distant points. | first wrote and sent a
sample fruit to DR.. Franceshi, botanist
for the Southern California Acclima
thing Association of Santa Barbara, who
wrote me;
Your favor of November Goth re-
ceived, as also your most remarkable
fruit. No doubt it belongs to the Cucm'--
bitocea family. and from what you
wrote, ought to be an annual. We have
never seen nor heard of such thing be-
fore, and it may really prove valuable
novelty. We are going to have photo
graph taken, and also a painting, to
show natural siz and color when per-
fectly ripe. We have referred the ques-
ton to the highest authority on 'Cmcur-
6atocee," Prof. @. H. Naudln, and will
inform you the result in due time"
I then wrote to DR.. Devron, of New
Orleans, who wrote:
'"The botanical name of your new
fruit, Casa banana is BeniacaS0 Ger
2lfero, from the East Indies, and is
named after an Italian count, Benin
casa
To further demonstrate it's shipping
qualities, sent sample to Prof. Chas
H Shnn, of the University of Califor-
MIA, at Berkeley, Cal, who replied:
"The Benincasa has arrived and is
reddening. l have looked it up in Won
Mueller. These fresh seed will be of
much service. Your very full notes
will, in due time, and in some shape,
reach print. DR. Franceschi is very
earnest investigator"
| then sent a sample to my friend, W.

Mr., Horr in the frat day of his de-
bate with Mr.. Harvey, Of "Coin" lamO,
said; 1.-THE quality Of tho money used
in any country is far more important
than tho quantity" This has been
said before, and it cannot DO said too
often, for it is ovorlaSIingly true, Take
our W country, for example. There
is no shortage of money, We have more
than eyer before,
Tho panic Of 1893 was not tho result
Of a scarcity Of money, Tho trouble
was a lack of confidence in our none
tary system, especially a lack of conf
donco in the ability OF the government
to koap silver at par with gold, We
were then buying silver bullion at the
rate Of $4,000 0 ounces a month, drain
ing the treasury OF tho gold Of which
We had pressing need for silver with
which we wero already overloaded and
which tho people would not take.
There was a strain, tho whole none
tary system was threatened, capital
hunted cover, money was locked up.
The money was in country, but it was
withdrawn from tho channels OF trade.
II there had been more money the Situ'
alton would have been no better. Men
feared to let out their money lest they
might have to accept in return other
money otinierior quality,
Il has never paid any country to put
u q poor quality OF money. Argen'

cover from a blundOr Of this sort. Their
money is rich in quantity and poor in
