carefully tip it over on roof, wrong

there through the west one encounters
a small stretch of well-laid road run
ming down to a city or post Office, but
in general the country roads are little
more than widened trails.
The country has got old enough and
carriage travel in the country places
has increased to such an extent as to
make the necessity of better roads APP
parent. BY coincidence the dispo-
sition to save free labor from the com
petition of convict labor has also risen.
Many states have laws against convict
contracts without means of keeping
the felons employed. In Illinois, al
though the present system here seems
working in promising way, 1t is still
subject to the protests of the labor
unions. What better channel for the
employment of the convicts could be
devised than that of bodybuilding?
The great state of New York, which
after life Of nearly three hundred
years, is still humping over rocky
roads, might set the western states an
example. Chicago Evening Post.

BARNARD MANURE.
Its Importance and Peculiarly Value on
the Farm


the Farm
Barnyard manure is the most impor-
tant manurial resource of the farm and
should be carefully saved and used: 1t
represents fertility drawn from the soil
and must be returned to it if produc-
tiveness is to be maintained.
This manure contains all the fertiliz-
ing elements required by plants in
forms that insure plentiful crops and
permanent fertility to the soil The
urine is the most valuable portion, but
it is best used in connection with the
solid dung. one thus correcting the de-
ficiencies of the other.
The amount and value Of the manure
produced by different farm animals is
put at the following figures in the
latest farmers bulletin, the computa-
tions being made on the basis of 200
pounds of live weight: Sheep, 341
pounds of manure per day, worth 7.2
cents; calves, CTS pounds, worth 81
cents; pigs, $50 pounds, worth 1917
cents; COWS, "A. pounds, worth cents,
and horses, 4s.s pou IS, worth 7.6
cents, basing calculations of valne on
market prices of commercial fertilizers,
which probably gives results much too
high Making liberal allowances for
these and other considerations, Prof.
Roberts estimates that the value of the
manure produced on a small farm car

pigs during the seven winter months
amounts to about $3.50 Poultry man

The report of General Craighill for the guidance of the approaching congress in framing it's river and harbor bill has been made public. As to the Warrior river, which will be so instrumental in building up our fair neighbor city. Tuskaloosa. and in opening up the mineral region along and contiguous to the upper War fior, the engineer reports that the pro- ject for the improvement of this river was adopted in 1S90 the object being to obtain a channel feet deep at ordi- nary low water from Tuskaloosa to it's mouth. The amount expended up to June 30. 1894, was s99, 26O.74, to which must be added the sum of $23, 10398 spent dur ing the last year. General Craighiu esti mates that s417,000 will be required for the completion of the existing project. and asks for S96,O0O for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897.
 The project for the improvement of the Tombigbee river was adopted in 1890 and contemplated securing channel 6 feet at low water and the construction of locks and dams at the estimated cost of $50S. .S0S. The entire length of section to be improved was 191 miles. It is now es- timated by General Craighill that S253,- sos more will be required to complete the project. Prior to June 30,1S94. there was spent $93,514. on the work, the amount expended during the last fiscal year be- ing $26O66.56. There was an unexpended balance of $135, .39 to the credit of the undertaking at the beginning of the pres snt fiscal year.
 The project for the improvement of the Tombigbee river from Demopolis, Ala. to Columbus, Miss. a distance of 156 miles, contemplate securing channel 6 feet deep at ordinary low water. Up to June 30, 1894, $34, ,193.47 was spent upon the work and $6,662.91 during the last fis- cal year. The report states that $679 400 will be required to complete the present project, to the credit of which there was $59, 143.62 at the beginning of the present fiscal year. General Craighill says that s96. 900 could be profitably spent upon the work during the fiscal year ending June 30 1S97 for which sum he makes request in addition to the available balance.

ALABAMA SALT LANDS.

The salt land reservation in Alabama, down in Clarke county, was no doubt re- served with a good intent. Salt was then a rare commodity The springs upon these lands were made to produce salt af- ter a laborious and costly process. But nobody in these days of salt mines and mountains of rock salt would give cent for salt wells in a pine country. During the civil war, when our ports were blockaded, and the salt mines of Louis jana had not been developed, salt was made in considerable quantity at the salt wells of Clarke county. It was then a case of necessity, but at present the lands of the reservation, long since denuded of their timber are comparatively worth less. Still it is we'll for the state to get possession of them, and hence the fol- lowing information is not absolutely without value:
 Some months ago Governor Oates of Alabama requested Secretary Hoke Smith to patent certain salt springs and salt lands in Alabama, amounting to SeV- en sections, which he claimed were grant ed to the state in 1919. It appears that the state held these lands for some time under the congressional grant, and the governor alleges that patents to them have been issued to other parties by the interior department, and the secretary says that if 1t appears that the depart ment has improvidently issued patents for lands granted to Alabama he will request the attorney-general to bring suit to set the patent aside. He adds that for seventy-fve years the state has never alleged that any lands were nec- essary for working the springs. He says that for four years after 1861 the state resumed possession of the salt springs and lands appurtenant, and worked them to their utmost capacity. New wells were dug and the number of vents in creased. It cannot be conceded, he con- tinued, that each new vent, when opened. carried with it a title to $40 acres of pub lie land.
 "The tracts asked for by the governor number PAP. and the secetary says he does not feel authorized to have these withdrawn from settlement. holding that the grant of 1889 covered the salt lands then known, and did not extend to such lands as might from time to time be found necessary in opening salt springs"

ONE OF THE ADAMS FAMILY.

Brooks Adams, the brother of Charles Francis Adams. whose interview is given below, is one of the ablest writers in the United States in favor of the restoration of the money of the constitution by the coinage of silver upon the same terms and conditions which are applicable to the coinage of gold. We take pleasure in calling attention to the fact that the Adams family is still in favor of the declaration of independence, and is still loyal to the principles of the constitu- ton, notwithstanding the many criti- cisms as to the aristocratic tendency of some of the descendants of the great family, which took so prominent part in the revolution and in shaping the in stitutions of the United States.
 T did not see, says MT. Adams, "any reference to my views on the gold ques- ton in the Herald. Nevertheless, there are in connection with that matter one or two nuts which are hard for me and which would like to see some one crack.
 "For example: We are told that for the United States to go 1t alone on the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 would lead not only to the failure of the experiment, but to business disasters of such acharacter that even to point them out Is superfluous. The mere sug- gestion of the thing carries its own ab- surdity.
 "I am not prepared to say that this is not so, for I am not prepared to state any conclusions one way or the Other on this very important subject. Mean while, will some one point out to me the reason why the disasters in question have not occurred to the neighboring repu bile of Mexico? Mexico has gone it alone on silver at 15 toll, I think, instead of 16 to 1. Meanwhile, today, all reports concur in stating that Mexico is enjoying a state of prosperity unprecedented in its an- nals
 Again. the United States has always been great producer of cereals. Here tofore we have, to very large degree, supplied Europe with any balance of breadstuffs required in excess of their own product Today, however, we are meeting with a competition as regards the export of cereals more serious than we have ever known before. The tive areas from which competition comes are the Argentine Republic and Russia. Rus sia is practically on a silver basis; that is, gold is there at a premium of 50 per cent In the Argentine Republic do not exactly remember whether gold is at a premium of 150 per cent or 200 per cent, but it Is approximately out of sight.
 Now. the conundrum I should like to have some one solve is this: Why, if the free silver craze as 1t is called, is so absurd and would be so disastrous to us, has Mexico contrived to thrive upon it? And again. why is it that we are rap idly ceasng to be the great breadstuf
