Preparations are being made by
hundreds of Swedes in Minnesota and
Illinois to establish a Swedish colony
in Alabama. A city, to be called Svea
City-after a Swedish goddess-will be
founded.
The site for the colony contains 49,
600 acres of land, and lies 10 miles
east Of Mobile Bay, in Baldwin Coun-
ty, and is about 200 feet above sea
level. The land has a heavy growth
of Georgia pine and abundant pastur-
age. The soil is excellent, and several
small creeks flow through the tract.

CHINESE IN AMERICA.

The Courts of the Pacific States are
again confronted with the Chinese
puzzle. With the aid of American law
yers, the Chinese are rushing through
that large loop hole in the Federal i'm
migration law, which permits the sons
and daughters of resident Chinese TO
enter American territory. Chinese wo-
men apply for permission to land. and
produce ample proof" that their par
ents reside in the States. The Fed
eral authorities cannot disprove the
evidence. Young Chinese claim the
right to land on equally good proofs.
This practice of avoiding the immigra-
don laws, prevails on the Vermont
border. 1t is now growing in the Paci-
fic States. Congress will probably be
asked TO provide some new restrictions.
The problem of restricting travel and
a change of nationality, in these latter
days, is extremely difficult, because it
pays even the Yankees to violate the
laws. When it pays to break laws.
there is generally some one on hand to
break them, especially if the prospect
of punishment is remote If the Fed
eral power were despotic or arbitrary.
these fraudulent entries would cease.
But the executive officers can act only
in accordance with law, and they are
unauthorized to make laws and regula-
tons, beyond the scope and direction
Of the statute.

or each laborer produced about
II 1-16 tons. The increase in five
years is apparently over 90 per
cent, for each laborer This is
however, not a correct statement,
for a 30 per cent. increase in the
effective power of the hand labor
would be astonishing.
The remarkable increase is due
to the better or more scientific use
of the planters brains. This de-
mands better machinery, better
cultivation of the soil, better
knowledge of the capacity of soils,
better economy in every depart
ment of the process of making SUI
gar from the seed cane to the
crystals.
In 1873. according to Mr.. Nord-
hoff's account of the sugar indus
try of these Islands, the planter
who was out of debt. could do
fairly well, with the price of su-
gar at 5 cents per pound. The
cost of labor. at that time was
about 81 per month. At present
with the rate of wages, 30 per
cent. higher than the rate of 1873,
and the price of sugar consider
ably less than one half of the |
price at that period. the dividends

There can be no better illustra

When the planter calls for

1t is claimed that hogs will eat sofa

clover hay.
Pigs that do not have enough good
milk will be stunted. Feed the SOW

Keeping horse on corn alone in sum-
mer is like building fire in the parlor
stove in August.
Cow pens, unless wanted for pasture
alone, should not be planted on rich or
naturally moist ground.
Ground wheat mixed with milk pref
ty thick, or as thick as will pour, makes
excellent feed for the pigs.
1t is a good plan, says a writer, ia
feed corn to the sows and pigs-soaked
corn-before the pigs are weaned.
The bicycle has undoubtedly injured

been an injury to scrub horse breeding.
When stock feeders, says wriser,

ToPEKA, Kan, Aug. is-B. T. Lewis,
assistant general manager Of the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Co.,
received a report this morning stating
that the train robbers who held up the
train near Edmond, Ok, last night did
not get any money whatever. The
train was boarded at Edmond by two
or three men, who climbed over the
engine tank and covered the engineer
with revolvers as soon as the train left
the station, commanding him to stop at
the next road crossing. The engineer
obeyed and at the road crossing five or
six moremen were found in waiting.
Some of the men entered the express
car and commanded the messenger to
open the safe, which was through
safe from Kanaas City to Galveston
with q time lock. The messenger was
unable to carry out the order and
convinced the robbers of the fact.
They then attempted to blow the safe
open with stick Of dynamite, but
failed to even damage 1t. After that
they withdrew to one side and held q
consultation. the result OF which was
an order to the engineer to '.hit the
road None of the robbers entered
the passenger coaches. The train was
DELAYED 80 minutes.

COB COAL FOR HOGS.

1t Keeps Their Digestive Apparatus
IN . Healthy Condition.
There are many farmers who fail to
make success of making coal from
corncobs, and therefore the following
explicit directions are given: Save the
cobs and store them in dry place, to
be burned when time permits. Aside
from the good care we give our pigs,
we attribute much of their general
health to the condiment prescribed
herewith, which seems to keep their di-
gestive apparatus in healthy condi-
tion. .- sTl
One who raises from 100 to 150 pigs
should aim to save at least 200 bushels
Of corncobs for charcoal. Make pit
AZ to feet deep, 12 to 1s inches in
diameter at bottom, ~. to 5 feet on top.
Have sheet iron cover made large
enough to cover the pit and project
six inches over the edge. Start fire
in the bottom with shavings and add by
degrees q bushel OF cobs, and let them
get we'll aglow. Then add three to four
bushels more, and when well ON fire
add more, and so on, until the pit is
rounding full. If they burn faster on
one side than the other side lift the side
that is burning least with pole. II
you have an old iron rod long enough
lay it over the center of the hole so as
to keep the sheet iron from sagging.
When all the cobs are well aglow, even
blazing freely, cover the hole with sheet
iron and seal the edges with earth, air
tight, and leave it until the next morn
ing, when the charcoal can be taken
out. and II the job is well done there
will be from nine to twelve bushels

The Future Of Hay Farning In enc
United states.
The desire to cultivate as much land
us possible In order to get the most pos
sible from 1t has led to general neglect
of meadow and pasture lands. Only
when it is found that the soil had lost
so much fertility that 1t would not pay
for cultiyating was it seeded down or
left to grow up with such heritage, both
weeds and grass, rs nature provided.
The result In that most of the land now
In grass is by that very fact discredited
as being presumably fit for nothing
else. Yet there is In all grass land
constant tendency to Increase u. fer
'tility. It is SO even when the land is
left to grow up with the weeds and
bushes. These shelter the surface, hold
the leaves that fall on the land from
being blown away. The decomposition
Of these leaves gradually builds up the
soil, and to this must be added the ex-
crement from animals fed on the herb
age which the soil is still able to grow
Usually when the improvement of
grass land is determined upon the soil
to be turned under and rot is regarded
MS an important part of the soil assets.
Improving the land as meadow and
pasture by manuring it and still leav
ing 1t unplowed is hardly ever thought
Of. Yet as in most cases the grass land
10, even with manure. not quite rich
enough for profitable cropping, the ex-
pertinent is worth trying of applying
to it such manure as can be had and see
what the increased grass or hay prod
fully in England. Why may it not in the
older parts of this country? The de-
mand for hay is generally good In all
eastern cities. VIII it pay to fertilize
grass lands SO as to make the growing
of hay profitable? If it will not pay to
maintain fertility in grass land, the log
ical sequence is that all hay or grass
taken from 1t helps to reduce fertility
so that the soil will be worth nothing
for the production Of any kind of crop
1t is likely that in the future, as in
the past, most of the hay crop in this
country will be produced in the years
when the rotation between cultivated
crops and grass requires that the land
be seeded. Our climate is not moist like
that of England. Hence it cannot keep
good sod SO many years without plow-
ing and reseeding. This also is SO much
the best for cultivated land that there
need be NO fear that the profits of cul-
tivated crops will so lessen the amount
of land in grass that there will not be
hay enough to feed with grain and
ccarser fodder, nor that it will fail to
be supplied at reasonable prices. Gull
