can and Mexican railroad companies cover
1O2,O 900 miles of track, and $06,466 600 Of
gross earning in January, a falling of Of 3
per cent. from January Of last year, In
which month there was a decrease Of II
per cent. from the total In January 1898
Prices on the whole have maintained a
position of relative steadlness. Live cattle
and hogs are higher, due to improvement
In the eastern demand and q decline In re-
Ceipts ct western centers. The check in re-
ceipts Of Indian corn is responsible for the
advance in that cereal. Prices are un-
changed for leather, oats, pork, cotton, iron
and steel, but bleached c0ttOns have sold
lower at s0me points, the lowest on record.
Wheat Is also of on additional evidence of
heavier supplies, both at home and abroad,
than anticipated. Exports of wheat flour
included as wheat) both coasts of the
United States for the past six business days,
will probably be characterized as disap-
pointing, amounting to only 2,572,000 BUSH

NEW YORK special: Much anxiety is
manifested among the owners of small
c0astwise sailing vessels as to the safety Of
. fleet of about twenty-five ships which
are supposed to have been lost in the bliz-
gard Of a week ago. Every day the offices
of the agents IN South Street are beseiged
by relatives anxious I know what has be-
come OF their beloved ones who shipped u
month.ago. Since the storm there has not
been n c0astwise sailing vessel reported
from any southern port, and vessels bound
from New York for the south and New
England also are so long overdue that they
are supposed to have f%oundered. The
ships about whose whereabouts there is
doubt number 0ver twenty. The crews
average about ten men to each and the
total value of the cargoes Is about $3.50, 900.
CARRYING, Mich, special: Three chill
dren, aged 8, s and 1 years, respectively,
lost their lives in q fire at Lewiston. The
children had been put to bed, while their
father, Eli Seymour, and wife attended a
Meccabees dance. When they returned
the house was in flames. When the fire
had been sufficiently extinguished to enter
the house, the children were found dead,
side by side, in bed. They had evidently
been suffocated without having been

Meade County beaten.

BY a legislative act passed in 1888 Law
rencs County was segregated and Meade
County established, the latter county to
assume a portion Of the total Indebtedness
OF Lawrence County pro rata upon the
population. Two years ago Meade County
defaulted its payment of $24. 800. her pro-
portion Of the floating Indebtedness and
upon suit being commenced by Lawrence
County to recover this amount, Meade
County demurred to the complaint and set
up numerous allegations as to the validity
of the act which created the latter county.
The matter was brought before Judge
Thomas of the circuit and he sustained the
demurrer of Meade County. Lawrence
County then took the case to the supreme
court, which now declares the debt valid
and Meade responsible to Lawrence Coun,

Refused to Cash Warrants,

About thirty Lawrence County war
rants bearing the date of July g, 1877, ag-
gregating in all SIP, $50, were presented for
payment at the treasurer's office a day or
two ago, and payment was refused. In
1888 the treasurer ordered all outstanding
warrants, ETC., against the county turned
in for payment, but these thirty were not
presented at that time and therefore by
law are worthless. These warrants are
believed to be a portion ola lot of warrants
that were redeemed some years ago, but
were not cancelled. 1t is thought that they
were stolen by the McKinnis-N Neal Nc
earthly ring, who nearly swamped the
county in early days and negotiated some
place in the east.

How to Cultivate Egg Plant.

No seed is more difficult to vegetate
than the egg plant; it always requires
the strongest heat. For early use sow
in hot-bed early in spring; after SOW
ing, give them good watering and
keep the frame closed until the plants
appear, then admit fresh air in fine
weather; cover the frame at night with
mats to protect against frost; after the
plants attain two or three inches, they
should be transplaated into another
frame three inches apart in order to
make strong plants before it is time for
planting out; it Is very good plan to
put them singly in small fower-pots
and place them in a frame where they
will become thoroughly established
and ready for setting out as soon as all
cold weather is over, after which they
can be planted frora the pots without
disturbing the ROOFS; plant them in
rows twenty inches apart and two feet
from row to row; they luxuriate in
rich, loamy soil. Tha egg plant is u
very important and remunerative crop
for the market gardener, and especial
ly so for those who grown them for
shipping.-Prairie Farraer.

In italy the American Pawpaw IL Guilt
waited with Success.
One of the most luscious wild fruits
found anywhere Tn the world grows in
all the southern ssates and in all those
that are Immediately north of the Ohio
river. 1t is also found in some parts
of Michigan and Iowa. 1t resembles
the banana, but is swecter and more
juicy. The trees that produce this
fruit are small, but extremely beauti-
full. Their trunks are smooth, their
branches graceful and their foliage
peculiar and attractive. As lawn
tree it has few superiors. The trees
are easily raised from seed, grow rap
idly, need no cultivation, are pretty
and productive. So far as reported
they are not liable to disease or the at-
taclSs of insects. The fruit is known
as the pawpaw and is occasionally seen
in this market. Had it been discovered
in China or New Zealand it would have
been brought over To this country and
much ado made over it, But as it is
native American product no one seems
to think it is worthy Of cultivation. 1t
was introduced into Italy few years
ago and is regarded Us great acces.
sion to the valuable fruits produced
there. 1t is extensively cultivated and
is known as the American Fruit

SUCCESS In Plant GROWING.

There is a wonderful amount Of
truth in the following statement:
"Some persons have knack of making
all kinds of plants grow in the most
unfavorable circumstances. think
this is partly owing to magnetic at
traction existing between such persons
and their plants. The plants seem to
know they are loved, that they are
household treasures, that every new
leaf and flower is as welcome as the
new words and expanding thoughts of
baby to its mother. Apparently un-
conscious of this, they do their utmost,
and in places least adapted for success

find stands or individuals equal to the

PLANTING POTATOES.
Several Reasons Why tho Ground should
he Prepared Deeply.

Several Reasons Why the Ground should
Be Prepared Deeply.
Simply cutting and plastering po-
tatoes in advance Of planting will not
secure satisfactory results. Since q
large quantity of seed and labor are ro-
quired to produce a crop of potatoes,
much pains should be token TO prepare
the ground and cultivate IL bciosc and
after the potatoes have grown, In the
best manner possible.
The potato Is deep-rooted plant,
and therefore the ground should be
prepared deeply. The tubers are
formed above the seed. These two
points should always be kept prom
inently In mind.
It also loves a moist, cool soil. This
indicates that conservation of moisture
and shade should be secured by cul-
ture. The ground should be not only
thoroughly and deeply plowed, but
made fine.
A most satisfactory way, where the
ground is open, is to furrow deeply
with double mold-board as seen in
the upper part of the figure. Cover the
potatoes by reversing the burrows, as
seen in the center of the figure. After

Nancy I'm Onion na,.iar.

What n mysterious and expensive proc
ess onion raising formerly was, and
how few dared to attempt It! Last
spring a young farmer, residing close
by, who had never raised an onion in
his life, drilled in ten pounds of Yellow
Danvers onion seed in two acres, har-
vested good crop this fall, and al
though onions were only forty cents n
bushcl nettcd more than twice as much
per acre from the two acres than from
the rest of his farm; but he is exccp-
tionally industrious and preserving,
else his onion patch would have fallen
avictim to weeds (which were numer-
GUS and flourishing) as many othe,
patches did.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

the potatoes have started, a scantling
or light piece of timber may be chained
crosswise near the front of the harrow
and two rows may be planned down, as
shown in the lower part OF the figure.
In a few days the potatoes will be up
and will be entirely free from weeds
This double blowing and fning and
depositing of the clods and stones in
the middle of the rows results not only
in putting the ground in superior con-
dition, but in saving very large
amount of after culture.
The most satisfactory results that
we have ever reached have been by
this method. Gentleman.

other is threaded and has an eye bolt
to clamp the tire. A set of four tires
can be shrunk in ten minutes from the
time they are put in the fire.
To use it, set it on the anvil, heat a
section of the tire, take tire out of the
fire and set across the horn of the an
vii, strike on each side of the horn
with hand hammer, making knuckle
in tire, put tire in clamp with the
knuckle between clamps, tighten eye
bolts, straighten out knuckle with

This is much better than to cut and

it.-Southern Cultivator.
