HERE AND THERE.

Give the hen fair shake at the
dust, and she will soon settle the lice
question.
If you have really good mare and
no first-class stallion is convenient, go
to one that is convenient. or raise no
colt. Scrubs don't pay for their keep
Don't imagine that because lighter
hogs are in demand that the heavy
breeds are to be discarded. 1t may be
said that the light and heavy hog are
the same individual-you simply kill
him before he gets heavy.
Grass makes the cheapest flesh; no
other feed compares with it. 1t would
seem that the Almighty, in carpetinR
the earth with living green, must have
known what He was doing. And YET
many farmers wear themselves ort try
ing to kill grass.
If feed is scarce sell of part Of
the eaters. There is no economy in
keeping more stock than feed. 1t costs
less to keep an animal in good condi-
ton than to put it in good condition.
It is a saving of feed to keep stock in
q thrifty condition.
If there is no profit in the stock
kept on the farm, every animal should
be sold. or they should change owners.
Improved stock only will return .
profit these days, and improved farE-
ers are the only kind that can make
even the best stock pay.
Every farmer should prepare for
such fall crops as he can produce. and
can use with profit. And everything
should be Saved. Cattle and hogs and
horses must be fed and the best of all
| foodstuffs are those fresh from the
field. whether in spring, summer or
| fall
| One of the advantages of our
southern climate is that when regular
spring crops from any cause fail, there
is enough of the year left before frost
to recoup the loss; not with the same
crops planted in spring, but with other
crops that can be made to take their
place and perform their functions.
The time to sell the products Of the
farm is when they are ready to sell
and the time can be had to haul them
to market. The right time to buy any
thing is when it is needed and you
havo the money. Poor Richard once
said that anything bought because II
was cheap and not because II wAs peed.

False and Misleading Assertions by the

Democratic National Convention.
The declaration of financial princi-

tional convention is a shrewd mixture
of cheap money decisions, half truths
and wholly unfounded assertions. Its
ALLEGED statement of facts has frequent
ly been shown to be untrue; in spite of
this they were deliberately Endorsed by
a majority of the represent, aves of the
democratic party. Since standard

once more the statements on which the

Chinese Mail Service.

The mails in China are different from
the postal arrangements of any other
country in the world. In China the
mail service is not in the hands
OF the Government, but is left to pri-
vate persons to establish postal con.
nectioD, how and wherever they please.
Anybody may open store and hang
out o sign advertising that he is ready
to accept letters to be forwarded to
certain places or countries. The re-
suit of this arrangement Is that in
populous towns there are a great num-
Der of persons accepting letters to be
forwarded to oil parts of the country
at Shanghai, for instance, there are
not less than $500 stores competing
with each other and carrying on war
to the knife as far as rates are con-
cerned.
This system, although having great
faults, has some good qualities. There
are several parties accepting letters in
one certain town. The Chinese mer-
chant who writes letters two or three
times will patronize several of the con-
Germs, and asks his correspondent to
inform him which he got quickest.
Having experimental for awhile he
will select the firm giving the best
service, but he always has the choice
of several mailing agencies for his
correspondence. Philadelphia Rec

Those Cool Old Roads.

1t appears from the following from
a correspondent, the "gool old Ro-
man roads" are pretty much like the
enormous pippins" so many old peo-
pie handled "when they were young"
He says: "At page 1877 it is stated
that travellers tell us that the old Ro-
man roads are far superior to the mod
ern road. If they say SO, they do not
tell the truth. In going to the top of
Vesuvius, the usual route is from
Resina by a route path several miles
to the foot of the cone. Ga the way

blocks of trap rock of irregular size
and shape, varying in diameter from
six inches to two feet. Trap is a very
hard volcanic stone wearing smooth

served and is as good foI travel rs it
ever was. The stones are polished by
the ancient traffic, aud are very slip.

The Italians imported by Austin
Corbin to become land owners at Sun.
Dyside, Arkansas, are represented in
the New York Post to be superior in
morals and intelligence to the Italian
laborers with whom people in other
parts of the country are more or less
familiar. They are reported to have
been carefully selected from very re-
spectacle and prosperous class. At
home they were small farmers, gar
deners and fruit growers, and the
methods of farming and careful cult
walton to which they have been accus-
toned are expected to sbe great al
TO them in their new surroundings.
They have strong religious inelina-
tions, and their first act after arriving
Mt their new home was TO conduct re-
ligious exercises in thanks TO God for
the kindness bestowed upon them.
They were heartily welcomed at Sun
nyside, and at once announced their
intention to become citizens. Other
ship loads OF immigrants are expected
10 follow this first importation.

A Model Industrial Village.

George Cadbury, one of the most
active members OF the celebrated cocoa
firm, has just entered upon novel
experiment for the benefit of his work
people. He recently purchased nearly
20) acres of land adjoining the works
at Bournville, near Birmingham. The
estate is to be divided into 500 plots
for building purposes. Semi-detached
villas will be erected, and a sixth of
an acre will be apportioned to each
residence. A 800 years lease of the
ground at nominal rental will be
given, and the $3.50 necessary for
building purposes will be advanced
on mortgage by Mr.. Cadbury's solici.

The Atlanta Constitution remarks:
Out in Indiana an old lady OF seventy.
four offered $50, 900 for young hus-
band. An enterprising fellow of TWEEN.
ty-six came forward, but the woman's
family sue out writ of lunacy to
prevent her from marrying. The jury
pronounced her sane, and she eloped
with her purchase and married him.
The Chicago Record in commenting on
this case makes the point that a short
time ago young woman in New York
wanted husband with title, and got
him after big cash sum of several
million dollars had been settled upon
him by her relatives. Nobody limited
that the New York girl was insane.
On the contrary society thought that
she had distinguished herself. Our
Chicago contemporary thinks that it
makes a difference when the pur-
chased husband is an imported article
with title. If he is a home product
the woman who offers a good price for
him is supposed to be crazy.

Warts Are Contagious.

Warts are supposed to be somewhat
of the nature of cancer, and are be.
lieved to be contagious. 1t is matter
of common experience that person
who milks a COW having warty teats
will often have warts on his hands,
and that the warts spread from one
place to another is quite certain. This
may be, however, the result OF some
constitutional tendency to these dis
eased growths, but, as it is best to be
on the safe side at all times, it will be
wise for a person having warts on his
hands not to milk COWS, or one who
milks a COW with warty teats should
wash the hands before milking an
other COW. To get rid of warts is not
a difficult matter. Any kind of caus-
tic applied to a wart, so as to corrode
it to the healthy flesh, and then an
application of carbolated vaseline to
the sore, will make cure. New
York Times.
