The year is now almost ended. and
within the next two or three weeks the
merchants and business men will have
figured up the years business and will
find on which side of the ledger the bal
ance is to be put down. They will know
their financial position and will be able
to figure intelligently upon what they
expect to do during the year 1897. An
increase in trade cannot be long delayed.
There must be growing demand for all
classes of merchandise and manufac-
lures, the effect of which will soon be
felt in the business world.

the effect that the European Powers
would not remain "impassive" should
the United States recognize the indie
pendence of Cuba and that the United
State had been informed, in frientdly
terms. that Europe generally" might
resent such action, appears to be mere
ignent of a too ready writer's magma
ton. The correspondent proceeded to
say. with saving "If / am correctly in
formed" clause, that Germany is quite
prepared to espouse the cause of Spain
if the UnitedsStates officially sides with
the Cuban insurrectionists. The story
that Germany, or any other European
Power, '.should assume this attitude at
this stage OF our relations to Cuba was
Improbable on it's face, and scarcely
needed the broad seal of the State De-
| partments denial, which has been ex-

officials. declare that no European Gov
eminent has made any representation,

,ken no action on the subject of which
any foreign Power could take diplomatic
cognizance.

The increase In the number of small
EARNS is attracting attention all over
the South. The Harrison County Ban
ner, a country weekly published in
Mississippi. has been impressed with
Indications Of this tendency in that
state and with its advantages to the
people. 1t says that the fertility of the
soil is so great that a man having from
ten to forty acres can raise on less
than half of his land all that his fam
lily and stock require, and can put the
remainder into cane, the proceeds of
which will be surplus. The old plan
tatiOn mode was to raise only one crop,
and with the cash obtained from the
sale of that to buy corn, oats, hay and
meat No one should wonder that un-
der the operation of this system the
mortgage upon q plantation increased
from year to year. The Harrison coun-
~ editor holds that these large places
must be cut into smaller ones and sold
to thrifty farmers before full prosper
ity can return to the South. He states
the ruling prices for land in the South
are now such that Northern farmer
with his land mortgaged for half or
two-thirds of this value can sell his
equity for enough to buy and fully pay
for the same number of acres of equal
~ fertile land in the South.

Need Of Pure Food Laws.

The agitation of pure food regula-
tons is one Of the most important
things now before the American peo-
pie, says Northwest Horticulturist.
Adulteration is carried on to such an
extent that it is almost impossible to
procure pure articles for daily use, and
as natural consequence unadulterat-
ed products cannot be sold in compe-
tition with the less expensive frauds.
Because of the adulterated articles sold
as canned and preserved goods, jam
ming establishments will not pay. The
raspberry, blackberry and strawberry
Jam OF commerce are greatly adulter-
ated and sold at prices which drive the
pure jams off the market. Fruit grow
ers and consumers are both injured.
The former. find no canneries operat-
ing to buy his fruit, and the latter if
buying jams and jellies at all find Them
of uncertain values. State horticIl-
tural societies should take up the agi-
tation Of pure food measures ard unite
on some bill proposed for national
pure food law, and have it pushed
through as speedily as possible.

small black beetle, not more than a
tenth of an inch in length, and can
be found in great numbers on the bios
som stems of the plants; they pune
ture the stems just below the bud or
blossom, thus causing it to wither and
fall off. The hellebore mixture used
for currant worms will also prove eff
cacious for these insects. A mixture Of
one ounce of white hellebore in three
gallons Of water will be the right
strength for this use. Glue is often
added to cause the liquid to remain
on the foliage longer, one ounce be-
ing allowed for each ounce of helle-
bore. The hellebore mixture being so
easy to prepare. is cftener used, but
either remedy will prove a sure cure.
