SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.

Baltimore Sun.
 A private letter from business man of Birmingham to business man of Balti- more shows that great improvements look ing to increased economy and efficiency have been made in southern iron making, with the result that furnace men are mak- ing money at present low prices and will make a great deal more when prices go higher. Sloss furnace is mentioned, which now makes POP tons of pig daily, whereas three years ago it made, with the same outlay, only from 80 to 100. The cost per ton at tho furnace mentioned Is but $7, which is considered low, even in this era of economies.
 In the same letter reference is made to tue growing cotton manufacturing industry, and Talladega mill is mentioned which last year netted profits of 26 per cent. Every mill, it is stated, made profits, from 10 to F per cent being the prevalent figures. The talk among southern cotton men is that American cotton at cents a pound must arrest the development of h. dian cotton interest, since the staple of India is "not in it'' with American cot ton. The coming trip of New England cotton manufacturers through the south, which begins this week, marks the grow ing appreciation of the profitableness of southern mills.

Formula For Kerosene Emulsion.

This formula for kerosene emulsion was given by professor in one of our agricultural colleges some years ago, and was requested to experiment. with 1t on greenhouse plants. did so, with highly satisfactory results, writes Eben E. Rex ford in The Ladies' Home Journal It is made as follows: Two parts kerosene, one b part slightly sour milk. Churn together until a union of milk and oil results. When they unite, white jellylile sub. stance will be secured. which will mix readily with water. Dilute this jolly with IS or 20 times it's quantity of water and shower your plants thoroughly. Soft 1eaved plants, like begonias, primroses and gloxinins, are frequently injured by it, if applied in the strength advised above Therefore it is well to dilute the applica- tion by using at least 30 parts of water to one of the jelly.

Much of the farm fencing in Kansas is in the form of hedges of that thorny. dense growing shrub, the osage orange, which, if left untrimmed, develops into small tree. Except in towns or in the immediate front of farm houses we'll trimmed hedge is rarity, and the traveller on Kansas rural roads may go for miles at stretch shut in on the right and left by high, thicketlike hedges, which overtop his car riage, shutting off the view and imped- ing the south breeze, which, if unchecked, so gratefully inodifes the fierce summer heats. In winter the tumble weed and white delicate looking tickle grass, blown by the wind, lodge beneath and against these hedges in long drifts, like snow If spark happens to drop among this drift ed finder, there is no checking the fire that follows. Many hedges are destroyed annually in this way, and not few dwell ings and stacks are involved in their do struotion.-New York Sun.

A change in our standard to silver mono
metallism would also bring on a collapse of
the entire system of credit, which, when
based ON a standard which is recognized
and adopted by the world of business, is
many times more potent and useful than
capable of almost indefinite expansion to
meet the growth of trade and enterprise. In
a seif-.nvlted struggle through darkness and

increased by the consciousness that We
had parted company with all the enlightened
