South year ago can realize the
wonderful change. | don't care

Client for the present that it is here.
This is no ordinary boom, to make
great hullabaloo and then peter
out. Not bit OF it.
1T is on solid foundation. Peoe
pie say good times are coming, but
that is not all. They are in a meas
ure here now. and will be followed
by an era of prosperity just as re-
marka BILE and senseless as was the
panic from which we are now recuv-
ering. There can be no doubt that
the main cause of the panic ~aa lack
of confidence. Men gr<w :.it;tid of

it is here and in no case is the change
any more remarkable than in the
South. The South stands to>day at
the very threshold of a commercial
and industrial revival such as it has
never known Business is booming,

some over time, while tho crops are

be the largest ever known and bids

great wave of prosperity cannot fail
to have marked effect and thus ef-
feet will be as national in its charac-
ter as the good times. The party in
power, whether justly or not, is ais
ways held responsible for existing
conditions. 1t will be no differ ent

The Silver Question.

Senator Cockrell.
No nation on earth, nor all the
tue nations, can maintain the pari-
ty, the equal commercial value OF
gold and silver coined in money at
any ratio whatever, when they give
to gold free and unlimited coinage
and deny such coinage to silver and
refuse to recognize and treat the
silver money as the gold money or
to use it equally with gold in paying
coin obligations.

owned no ornament. Tho buttons were
perhaps elaborate, for buttons have always
been q point Of luxury; witness the coin
buttons once popular for mems garments,
and the jeweled ones worn on court suits,
when the polite world did not change its
mind on the subject of dress every six
weeks. The woman who possesses a set of
fine antique buttons is most fortunate just
now, since fine buttons are the fashion
Two or three years ago, when tailor but

Where the spencer is TO be employed as

and has sleeves of miroir velvet, large and
expansive. All sleeves are now fiat at tho
shoulder, however, spreading as they ap-
proach the elbow. This is Il little hard on
the high shouldered woman, who has so
long enjoyed the position of dressmakcrs'

with more Enthusiastically feminine

For the coming season flowers will hold
the situation, and the strange fashion of
mixing sprays with alien blooms will be
greatly in vogue, as the French houses are
sending out such arrangements in great
variety. Upright sprays of this nature are
already to be seen in the latest bonnets
and hats. The mimosa is twined with The
radiant iris, and purple flowers are sur
rounded by clusters of forgetmenots. Pink
and red arc fashionably combined.

POTATOES AS FEED FOR STOCK.
Opinions Expressed on the Subject by EN-
inent Authorities In Such Matters.

inent Authorities In Such Matters.
The big potato crop and the conse-
quent low prices all over the country
have forced many farmers to consider
the feeding value of potatoes as they
never did before. Even though grain is
also cheap and abundant, it can be
stored and fed in subsequent seasons,
while, however large the potato crop
may be, it will all have disappeared by
next July. 1t may be economy, there
fore, under certain circumstances to feed
the potatoes and hold the grain. Here
are few facts about potatoes as stock
food. From the chemists standpoint,
the comparative values of different foods
would be about as follows:
VALUE OF ONE HUNDRED POUNDS.
Potatoes. ..........$ 20 Corn ..sl II
Sklmmllk ......... 23 Wheat.......... ID
Wheat bran....... 90 Pumpkins ~ 8
oats............... 90 Good clover hay. 70
Of course these figures are only COM
parative. The feeding value of the pota-
to lies chiefly in its starch. In order to
obtain the best results, the potatoes
should be especially when fed
to hogs and poultry. Professor Henry
concluded that 445 pounds of potatoes
We're equal to 100 pounds of cornmeal in
pig feeding. In this experiment, the po-
tatoes were cooked in kettle and
enough cornmeal added to make thick
pudding or mush. In France the pota-
toes are cooked and fed to cattle and
sheep with excellent results. We have
baked and fed them to horses successful
". Professor Henry says the potatoes
may be chopped with root cutter or
spade and fed raw to cattle, horses or
sheep--a daily ration of not over 4
pounds for sheep, 10 for a horse Or 25
for COW. This may be safe; but, says
Rural New Yorker, "we would prefer
to bake Or boil the potatoes before feed
ing to any animal. The raw potatoes
appear to have a somewhat laxative eff
feet, and small quantities of them may
be good for cattle on dry feed, or where
cottonseed meal is heavily fed. From
choice, we would cook potatoes and feed
to hogs or poultry. We would expect
them to be worth about one-fourth as
much as cornmeal when properly bal
anced' with stronger foods. !"
At the Leipsic station in Germany
potatoes have been fed to COWS, sheep
and swine to test their value, and the
results have been such as to Justify the
continued use of potatoes when cheap
and plentiful. From this station the fol-
lowing advice comes: potatoes should
be cooked for swine, and for fattening
cattle they can be fed either raw or
cooked when given with hay, meal and
other substances. Cows in milk should
be fed daily 20 pounds of washed raw
potatoes. The larger potatoes should be
cut. AS feed they are not good for
young lambs nor for cattle under years
