IL the friends of this Administration
want prosperity to attend it they should
do something for the stock market. Such IL
day as yesterda y on the stock exchang ewith
the prevailing low average OF prices, ami
with purposeless insignificant speculation,
with very small amount OF business done
and with prices at the close lower than
ever, a day of weary stagnation, can give
10 one who has anything TO do with the
stock market any very bright ideas Of the
future, OF any sperity within our grasp
The friends of the Administration should
undoubtedly buy up great blocks, millions
OF dollars worth, of railroad properties
and sugar stock and the other industriaIs
and hold them for high prices. One hun
not only double the amount OF our present
transactions, but would force prices up
with leaps and bounds, very much like a
real boom At present these friends of the
Administration are doing nothing OF the
sort. Nobody seems to be buying anything
The talk OF investment buying has nothing
behind il in the way OF tangible facts.
The very uncertain tariff prospects, the
outflow of gold now beginning again. and
this lack OF confidence are no indication
on which, 10 base bun predictions. The
whole market looks the other way to

dend will be reduced, but one may infer
that he is very anxious to have them, at
any rate. | believe that he is right, and
that if a property is not earning its
dividends any better than Western Union
or Manhattan, it is much better business
not to pay them. However, as against
this I quote the opinion of one OF the
shrewd traders:
The particular director who has been
so freely quoted as being determined to
cut down the rate has by no means been
able to carry his point recently with regard
to the policies Of some of the properties
with which he is connected Some liqui-
dation may be provoked by the continued
bear agitation concerning Western Union,
but some observers feel confident that any
stock sold at the present Juncture will
fall into basket held out by some sub
stantial interests"
Dow, Jones & Co. say OF Tennessee Coal
and ron:
We understand that Tennessee Coal and
Iron, in pursuance of its policy OF getting
expenses down, has recently secured freight
reductions in number of instances, aud
particularly with reference to handling
products locally. The saving on this point
is said to amount to quite handsome SUM-
In other departments savings lately ef
fected are said 10 be worth to the company
in the neighborhood of SIS 600 year.
There is nothing at the Capitol in sight
20 justify buying Sugar. The market
was strong today and fairly active, in
the face of the general dullness. One
sees no reason for this. and probably there
is no good one. Sugar only dropped
slightly from the opening prices, where
possibly couple Of Ioints had been ex-
Dected. The probabilities seem to be
still that prices will 20 down before the
advance. which usually comes around divi-
dend time.

American securities indicated that the de

that the powers are likely to intervene in

As against this, il should be stated that
there are people in the market all the time
yet, who are looking fer an immediate
turn for the better. The Monetary Trust
is one of these. President Carley writes
and talks and invests on this line all the
time. l quote what he said last night
on the situation:
.The hears seem to have sold to a posi-
tive finish. Their efforts are feeble and
almost foolish. i had conference with
two prominent bears, and they confess
that there is 10 profit in their struggle.
1t seems impossible that the market should
do otherwise than begin an upward creep
ing movement very soon.
Town Topics financial bureau, too, be-
lieves that much money is to be made in
buying several of the best railroad stocks.
To be sure there is a difference, and if the
market falls some stocks will fallIess than
others Also it is quite probable that
some of the good railroad properties viii
see an advance in their stocks. With the
Town Topics people this column has been
for some time more or less OF bull on
Burlington. The report yesterday un-
questionably bears out the rosy predic-
tions that have been made in the last
month. Burlington's report for March
shows gain OF S27S,O00, and for the
quarter ending with the close of March
gain of $4,000. The road made up
in three months per cent on its capital
stock less $4,000. The operating ex-
penses in March were 54. 81 per cent
against CLIO in 90 and Ga 10 in '95
For three months they have been 81 ia
per cent against 81 81 last year Town
Topics says that the people who are buy
ing Burlington have not gone in for q
turn of dollar or two per share, hut
have taken hold of the property knowing
its value and recognizing that it will lie
aleader among the grangers. Town Topics
believes also that the other grangers viii

SOME HARD FACTS,
The Road Problem Viewed from
Strictly Practical Standpoint.

The Road Problem Viewed from n
Strictly Practical Standpoint.
Some of our contemporaries seem to
take for granted that ''better roads"
necessarily implies paved roads, rolled
by wagon tires at least six inches wide,
and that it is choice between such
roads and nothing worthy the name of
road improvement. This we consider
a mistaken and somewhat unfortunate
view of the situation. If we are to have
nothing better than wind work till the
general construction of paved roads
becomes q possibility in country dis
tricts the present generation will not
live to see better average country roads
than we have now. No one understands
better than the farmers themselves that
they are not to build hard roads, partic-
ularly in districts remote from rock
and gravel supplies, and capitalists are.
not likely to do the work for them.
The utilization of convict labor on the
roads should result in considerable
increase i'll hard-road mileage, but such
increase, would be com aratively slow
and its effect upon the general traffic
of the country hardly noticeable for
many years In the meantime We
should make better use Of the means at
hand. AS we remarked some time since,
with a properly adjusted cash system in
force and the improves! road machinery
now available we should have much
better earth roads, and at no greater
cost to the people than NOVA gricul-

VEGETABLE HOSPITAL
Established by the United States De-
pQrtmcnt of Auriculturn

Established by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
A hospital under the care of Prof. B.
T. Galloway, chief of the division of
vegetable pathology, has been estab-;
lished by the department of agricul-
ture of the United States government
for the treatement of sick plants. Dis
eases affecting plants and vegetables,
al well as remedies, are investigated.
The work will not only benefit farmers,
but all lovers of flowers. Aviolet plant
was placed under glass jar, where it
was provided with only poor ventila-
ton. Germs of disease known to be
injurious to the plant were mixed with
water and sprayed upon it. Soon large
yellow spots appeared upon the leaves.
After the jar was removed the patient
rapidly recovered, showing that the
germs would have had no effect had the
air in which the plant grew been fresh.
The plants in a row of young corn are
given water IN different quantities,
mixed with certain proportions. of
salts, as found in natural coil. When
certain strengths of salt are added the
little mouths of the hairlike tubes of
the roots through which the plants
drink become so badly puckered that
the plants starve. Plants growing in
salt marshes and by the seaside are sup
piled with larger mouths By testing
the amount Of salt in his soil the farm
er can ascertain how healthy his corn col
is likely to be. Prof. galloway IS await

New OdOr. for Flowers.

It is a fad in Paris to perfume flowers
-artificially. Experiment has proved
that it is possible not only to take away
the natural odor of a flower, but also to
make it yield perfume derived from
ONE other vegetable product. Some .vio-
lets, for example, are perfect in form
and coloring, but without fragrance,
while others, very insignificant to look
at, emit a delicious fragrance. p The

Feed Them Well to Obtain sati.fac-
....- =: tory Results. Qmiclkly.
The calls foot is golden now. Calves
which went begging for buyers few
years ago are now worth ten dollars
almost as soon as they are dropped.
There is q great shortage of feeding
steers all over the corn and grass states.
This shortage is temporarily supplied
by the enormous importations from
every point in the country. It is, how
ever, only shifting of cattle from one
point to another, and there is no addi-
ton made to the cattle stock by such q
movement, except to the extent that
they come from Canada, and even this
is no real addition, for the reason that
the beef from these cattle is supplied
in the United States instead Of Canada,
and has no. effect whatever ON the beef
markets of the world. Any increase
OF cattle stock must come through the
growing OF calves, and the farmer has
dead sure market at profitable price
for his calves for year or two to come.
Hence, the calf should be watched not
for the sake of watching and thinking
OF the pleasing prospect of a good price,
but for the purpose of securing as much
thrifty growth and as good form as
possible, for the better the form the
higher the price per pound it will bring.
and the larger the calf the greater num-
Der of pounds there is to sell at price
fixed by the quality. How to feed that
calf to produce the best results is one
of the important questions just now.
Here, as in everything else, it pays to
take lessons from nature. Dame Ma.
ture feeds the calf often, feeds the milk
sweet and feeds it warm. The calf that
has bellyful of cold milk in the morn
ing and another at night, with no drink
during the day, and is exposed to the
hot sun, will not bring big price.
Nature feeds the calf balanced ra-
ton. IT it is fed skim-milk that ration
is unbalanced by the withdrawal of the
butter fat, and this must be supplied in
somo way. The cheapest substitute for
the first few weeks is jelly made by
boiling oil meal. After the first three
or four weeks oat meal should be sub
stltuted gradually, and corn meal as
gradually substituted, in part at least,
for the oats. Corn at IL cents per bush.
ell, and oats at the same price, will
furnish the proper balance at a much
lower rate than butter fat. There are a
thousand little things in connection
with calf growing that can be learned
only by experience, but the man who
observes, thinks, reads and practices
will very soon catch on and become an
expert. There is a very solid bottom
under this business now, and the farm
er that has strain of native cattle com.
bining milk and beef forms is the man
who can fill the demand to the best ad-
vantage.-Journal of Agriculture.
