Mayor Hooper's Friendship.

In addition to the backing Of the police
board, which assures him of fair treat
ment at the primaries, Mr.. Master has an
active supporter in Mayor Hooper, who is
displaying surprising vigor in strengthen

cans in the city hall are for him almost to

the mayors appointees for Master is most
evident.
In the meanwhile Col. Supplee and Mr.
Marburg devote their evenings to address,

has rather an advantage over his rival,

Seized the Express Train.

A curious and amusing incident occur.
red the other day at Anglers, in France.
M. Gonquaret, miller of Condor, had a
claim against the local railway company
which the latter refused to pay in spite Of
the finding of the court in the miller's ia
Yor.
The claim amounted to 1900 francs,
and the miller requested the brokers to
distrain on the company for that sum.
Now in France when once the brokers
have seized an object 1T must not be moved
from the place of seizure without a special
permit from the president of the court in
which the case was tried. Hence, with

Element, the lEokers employed by M.
Conquaret quietly waited on the platform
at Condor station until an express train
had entered and come to standstill.
They then seized the train and the passen-

OF course the only way to release the
train and its living freight was to pay the
miller's claim.
This the station master was authorized
py telegraph to do, and after a delay of
three-quarters of an hour the train started
once more Oh its journey. -Paris Letter

1885, when his craze was at it's highest, he
spent no less than 5000, 900 in this strange
form OF indulgence. Among the items of
which this expenditure was made up are
the following: Aug. 1, 1885, two diamond
buttons, value 81, s66 francs; rs diamond
buttons, value $50, 7O3 francs. On the
buttons for single vest he spent 5000, 600.

consequent butter and cheese, in other
countries, together with cheap, safe
and quick transportation therefrom to
the consuming market-this is the up
per milestone. The neither is steady
and unyieloIng refusal, on the part of
the farmer, to study how to reduce
the cost of producing milk to point
that will defy foreign competition;
how best to accommodate himself to
this overmastering demand for cheap
er dairy food; how to put more and
more intelligent thought and calcula>
ton into the farm end of this great
business. I most earnestly believe
that the actual cost in labor and cap
ital per hundred pounds is just as
greatwith ninety farmers out of every
one hundred today as it was twenty
five years ago.
''The farmer feels it; but, alas! he
does not see it, and all that it means.
He strikes blindly out for relief in
every direction except the right one.
He looks at every man in the process
sion of forces except himself.
'There is only one avenue of escape.
Will he set it before it is too late to
save and maintain his old-time possess
sion of this great interest?
'Here is the first proposition: He
must make up his mind and shape his
methods to produce milk at large
per cent less of cost per 100 pounds,
or he will be forced to quit the bust
ness.
"Well, if he quits, what else can he
do?
''Can he produce grain for the ex-
port market, and hope to escape for
eign competition? No!
''Can he produce meat and escape
the same competition? No!
"Can he keep on in the same old rut
and produce milk at cost, and down
to 10 and even so per cent less than
cost, as thousands are doing, and
of modern civilization in his family?
I say to you that, i'm my belief, large
per cent of the distress and complaint
among our farmers is not alone be-
cause of hard times, but because they
have not learned the great lesson of
the age, which is Cheaper produc-
ton"
In order to do this he advised his
farmer hearers to study the COW, and
kill all those that did not yield at
least $500 quarts of four per cent
milk each year; to study the farm and
its grain and forage resources, and to
study the results of every experiment
and process he tries. The same prin-
ciples apply to every department of
farming. More profit is secured by
saving in cost of production than in
any other way.

statement of my opinions with regard
to the chief "needs of Southern agri-
culture" meaning, as 1 understand,
the more important changes that
should be made in Southern agricul-
tural practice i'm order to secure
greater success. The subject is a
broad one, and difficult of discussion.
1t would be impossible to treat it sat
isfactorily in one brief paper, and it
will be necessary to discuss it with
frankness that may not please all
readers. But if I can write anything
that will help even few Southern
farmers to overcome some of their
difficulties, shall he glad to try, even
at the risk of appearing to deal in
commonplaces or of hurting the pride
of the more sensitive ones.
Let me say at the same time that I
am not one of those who believe that
the Southern farmer is in any sense to
blame for his present practices, how
ever improbable they may be. Farm
ing is not what it should be i'm our
section, but no one regrets this more
than the Southern farmer himself.
Among a progressive people like ours
no business is ever carried on in an
ideally perfect way. Manufacturers,
railroad men and bankers continually
find fault with their methods, just as
the farmers do with theirs. Discus
sion must precede rational action, and
the farmer needs the quicIening and
training which debate brings more
than any other man among us.
The Southern farmer has, in the
past, done the best he could under the
existing conditions. He has had, I'M
fortunately, to live very much from
hand to mouth and to make each
years crop support the family for that
year. For this reason he has had lit
tie time to study new methods and
less money to spend for improve
ments. But his condition is improv-
ing On the whole, he is the thriftiest
and most contented farmer in Amer
lea, and ready now to study all meth
DDS which promise to improve his
land or add to his bank account.
think, therefore, that the present is a
good time to talk to him about some
plans for. the improvement of his
farm and his country.
At an institute in 1887 [ was asked,
in the presence of large number of
farmers who possessed the average in
telligence of the agriculturists of this
country, what I considered was the
greatest need of agriculture in the
Southern States. [ had the hardi-
hood to reply Immediately that con-
sidered the greatest need of Southern
agriculture was more thinking farm
ers Ten years additional experience
has only confirmed this opinion. This
is not a reflection upon our farmers
as class, for I may say that every
department of Southern life needs, for
it's highest success and best develop
ment, more thinking men and women.
More and better means Of educating
the people is the greatest need of the
South, as it is of almost every other
country in the world Tt is not my
