1 WONDERFUL INCREASE.

The wonderful activity in the gold
fields of South Africa, and the conse-
quent frenzied speculation in the Lon
don exchange, has been the spectacle
which the financial world has been
viewing for the last few months. The
activity is not confined to Africa alone,
nor the time to within limit of late
duration. Since 1887 the output of gold
has steadily increased, till it seems
probable that in the decade in which we
are now living the world will see the
greatest output of gold than for any sim
liar period of time in its history. Every
month brings US reports of new discov-
cries in some one or more of the old
fields. During the first five months of
this year such reports have come from
Russia, West Australia, North Carolina,
Alabama, and from different points in
the Rocky Mountain regions. In these
old fields and in California there has
been a great renewal or expansion in
gold mining. Each region has given up
more gold since 1887. The total output
for that year was $95 ZOO, 900; in 1894
that amount was nearly doubled. Dur
ing the last eight years. from figures
furnished by the Chautauquan, we find
the increase in several old regions 1854
over 18S7) has been about as follows: ::
In the United States 100000 900; in In
dia, 81 ,O00, 900; in Russia, 81 900, 600; in
the Guineas, s., ,000,0 600; Australia, $lO,-
100000. These five countries were all
producing gold in $780, but the gain in
the years mentioned has been more than
$50, 900, 900. For two decades before
1887 gold production declined; but since
that time the increase has been remark
able. New mines have of course been
discovered, but the old ones, through
the agency of modern discoveries in sep
arating the baser from the purer metal,
have contributed to the increase, till we
find that leaving out the gold from the
new mines, there has been a steady in
crease from the old ones.
Six reasons were offered by recent
writer as explaining the wonderful in
crease in the product OF gold. These
were: First, Renewed or increased act
iveity in the olt fields. Second, New
fields of prodigious promise. Third,
Better methods OF extracting gold from
rocks and alluvium. Fourth, Wider
and better organization of the gold IN
dustry. Fifth, A strong demand for
gold. Sixth, The increase of rock
mining over sand washing in the indus
try.
During the ten years following the dis
coveries of 1S49-'5O, ,160 million dollars
were added to our stock of gold. Start
ling as was this vast increase, the pros
pect is good for that amount to be near
ly, if not quite, doubled. That this
present and expected increase in the
product of gold will favorably affect all
lines of business, there can be little
doubt, and the closing years of this CEN
tury will be known as the golden
nineties -

calls upon the farmers and draws up
IN agreement with them to plant
sweet corn and vegetables for the
canning shop. The farmer agrees to
plant so many acres of sweet corn
and deliver the ears in the husk to the
Shop for which he is to receive a GER
tain sum per hundred weight.
The shop is opened when the corn is
ripe, and the country hands swarm in
to work, girls to husk, men
to tend the machines, to
cook and to pack; the season
of several weeks is busy and at the
end the boys and girls rejoice over a
pocket full of change and the farmer
over his pay for the crop.
Of course, I realize the difficulty
with southern corn crop for packing
would be the corn worm; but peas,
beans and tomatoes are not to be de-
spised, and an advantage of early crop
is TO be reckoned in, for by the time
the northern vegeta bles are half grown
The southern packer could have his
output sold and count his profit.
The southern soil is rich and full of
possibilities of big crops, so let the
farmer do his best, and may success at
tend him.-B. T. Anthoine, in Southern

farmers of the south ought to have
their attention turned more closely
and when they do prosperity will be
much more common thing among the
tillers of the soil than it is now.
The first is dairying. 1t is lament
able fact that the COWS of the south are
among the poorest of the country.
This may not be a palatable state
ment, but it is true and must be
faced.
The major cause of this is lack of
feed. The greater number run wild
the year round and pick up such feed
as they can find. Sometimes they
range for days without returning to
be MIXED, and often the milk is so Bit
ter from the eating of weeds that it
can not be used.
A dairy to be profitable must have a
pasture for the COWS and young heifers
we'll seeded to grass; good feed of
bran, cotton seed or corn meal twice a
day, water and salt when they need it,
and all the hay they want in the
winter when vegetation is dead.
The COWS must be we'll sheltered at
all times of the year during the night,
and MIXED regularly.
The calves should be we'll fed or 9TH
erwise they will become stunted in
growth, and not give the highest salts
faction as COWS.
But | did not start to grumble about
the southern farmer or dictate how he
should act; what l wanted to do was
to tell him how one thing has helped o
small place of which I know.
This is the creamery business.
A number of men of the small town
bought an old two-story building
which in former years had been used
as cheese factory, but for long time
had been in disuse, and in this they
placed the necessary machinery,
separator, butter worker, etc., and a
small engine for power They hired a
man to run it, with an assistant.
The cream is'collected from the farm
ers at stated intervals by men hired for
that purpose.
They furnish two horses and a stout
wagon, and the creamery concern place
at their disposal large carriers, or
wooden tanks lined with metal and
having a packing of ice around an inner
CAN OF ILL.
The milk at the farms is kept in tall
tin cans, with faucet at the bottom
through which the skim milk is drawn
leaving the cream in the can. These
cans are kept in a spring, we'll or ice
chest.
The creamery company pay certain
sum per inch for the cream and settle
once a month. The butter finds a
ready market in the cities at high
price.
This method of bu tier making leaves
the housewife free from the care and
"a Dor of the work, and pays big profit
TO the farmer. For instance, one farm
err who owns seven cows received a
check Of fifty dollars for cream sold
during one month, while he had all the
skim milk to feed to calves and pigs.
He seldom receives less than twenty
dollars per month. He raises his own
hay, therefore his profit is very salts
factory.
The company is not a cooperative
one but is run by men for their own
profit; and while they make a good
thing for themselves, they help the
landowners Of four townships by fur
nishing a market for their chief pro-
duct.
One item which the reader will at
once perceive is of considerable impor-
lance, is that the producer is not

Ever since last spring, when the pre-

manner of giving the alarms would be the
proper and most cffectual way to do. AT

paper on which he worked was owned by
an old fellow who had worked his way

under mortgage foreclosure.
As soon as the old man got hold of the
property he began to look around to find
out where he could save few dollars in
the running expenses. Several weeks
passed before he ventured a suggestion
Said he: "Do you know that fellow in the
little room up stairs-the fellow who
works with a pair of shears and paste

A DUST STORM IN NEBRASKA.
One of Those Intensely Disagreeable visi-
tations Which Are Demoralizing.

A sweet, breezy May morning, so crisp
and cool as to be autumnal in suggestion.
A sky intensely blue with just the fugi-
tivcwail of "a cloud showing once in awhile
on lis sapphirine cxpanse. a wind blows
up, a wind that is warm-caresSingly so.
Soon it stings. The eyelids tingle. One
goes indoors; contemplates the weather
from comparative point of vantage. But
it is necessary to keep the windows shut,
else the dust, that is like pumice stone,
would choke, suffocate one. As it is it
blows in through closed shutters and Sc
cured windows. 1t furs the carpet. 1t
dims the velours of the best chairs. 1t
ridges the woodwork of the furniture. 1t
makes gritty to touch the cup you drink
from, the paper you write on, the page OF
the book you read. 1t grimes the baby's
white gown. Everywhere it lies, on chair
and bookcase, on shelf and stair, on win
dow ledge and picture frame, thick and
soft as pale brown velvet.
As the sun goes up it grows hot-hotter.
The wind from Kansas, blowing up scorch
ingly, is fierce fever of kisscs-kisscs
that like a courtesan's, burn biight and
disenchant.
The sky has darkened. Is it going to
rain-by any blessed mischancoS No; the
darkness is that of dust--dust in little,
long, wavclike currents on the country
roads; dust rising in whirls, tho spirals of
which are shaped like waterspouts; dust
which surgcs up with "a sullen roar, which
hangs thick, dun pail between earth and
heaven, which makes darkness ut O'Clock
