short on account of local drouth. 1t is
fortunate that our farmers will have

little or no money left in their hands

OTHER CROPS.
Rice is reported good from the coast
counties, where the bulk of the crop is
raised, and no severe storm having &C.
CURED in September most of it is now
safely harvested. Sorghum and sugar
cane have made fair crops, though the
latter has been retarded in growth by
dry weather i'll the early summer. The
crop of peas is good and they should be
gathered i'll spite Of the pressing de.
mands of the open cotton. Peas sold
this year i'll Atlanta from 81 to 81. 20
q bushel, and every farmer that has
them should at least save his seed, if
no more. A great deal of fine fodder
and hay has been cured and housed,
and this good work should still go on
wherever rains have kept the grass
green and nutritious.
Groundpeas and sweet potatoes are
an average crop, and will go q long
ways towards fattening the killing

vetch is seeded with wheat or rye, the
latter will hold it up. and prevent it
from spreading SO close to the ground.

October is usually the great wheat
sowing month, except in the far south,
where most of the wheat is sown
in November. If we could regulate this
matter accurately we should peter to
sow just long enough before frost to get
the wheat we'll started, otherwise there
Is danger that the dreaded fly may de.
stroy the stand. The high price of
wheat may tempt some farmers to plant
more largely than usual, but we think
this a mistaken policy. because our
lands are not especially suited to wheat
and almost without exception, will pro-
duce better paying crop of oats, even
at the high prospective price of wheat.
1t is delayed and then hurried, and con.
sequeutly careless preparation and seed.
ing, which SO often causes both these
crops to be disappointing. Although
this years crops are not yet all gath
cred, we may now regard our farming
operations for another year as well
started. Wheat, oats and other fall
grains and grasses, though seeded now,
belong essentially to another year, and
must be included in oar plans and esti.
mates for '98.
REPAIRS BEFORE COLD WEATHER.
Before cold weather sets in. examine
stable and barns and put in all needed
repairs. A small leak unheeded now
may become damaging, even a de.

for very close stables is not so impor.

New Cabinet Officer Proposed In South
 America.
 Dr. Andrade, son of the Venezuelan minister, l.as returned from Mexico City. He was one of the Venezuelan delegates to the Pan American Medical congress. He and his associates succeed ed in having Caracas named as the place of holding the next convention. on Dec. 25, 1899. Cuba and Canada were the other competitors for tie honor.
 Dr. Andrade says the congress IS ac- eomplishing much good ill securing uni- form safeguards against yellow fever and other diseases prevalent ill the Americas. IL was determined to reeom- mend minister of health as one of the cabinet officers of tho various couDesies, and one of the standing committees is developing a plan of uniform qnaran- tine.
 There was much interest shown in Mexico as to the Venezuelan boundary settlement, and Dr. Andrade's views were solicited, but owing to his con neetion with the legation here ho de- clined to be interviewed. The general feeling was most favorable to the set clement made.

THE BLACK SNAKE.

He Is as Much at Home In Tree Tops as
 on Terra Firma.
 There has been much discussion among naturalists and i'll sportsmen's journals regarding the ability of the black snake, our one constructor, to travel swiftly amid the branches. Ten thousand men have seen the sleek black streak of rope accomplish the feat easily. Here is but one incident:
 The black snakes habitat includes Illi- nois Lasalle county is not far north of the center of the state, and perhaps little west of the center line drawn north and south. There are some very good woods i'll Lasalle county, because through that county run two of the Mississippis tributaries = tho Illinois and one of it's branches the Vermilion. Bailey's creek is one of the little farm land tributaries of the Vermilion river. Along the creek are reaches of woodland, or at least there were awhile ago. In those bits of woods-bits as compared with Michigan forests---there are and have been black snakes, great fellows, worthy of their reputation farther east. This is what happened one day wher a young fellow went hunting. It is wor l the telling, because it illustrates the black snakes nim bleness among the tree tops:
 Wandering along cautiously and qui etly, looking for a shot on either side, tie young man heard suddenly all un- common rustling among the leaves above him. He looked up and saw some- thing that astonished him. A fox squir- rel--and fox squirrel is the biggest of the squirrel kind-was leaping from limb to limb, from tree to tree, Ill mortal alright evidently fleeing from some deadly enemy. Close behind him, cury. ing, twining and twisting, but with all details of it's locomotion invisible from below, so swift its progress and so easy it's passing from limb to limb and tree to tree, came three to five feet of black ness. Ii was black snake pursuing the fox squirnl. It's chase was hopeless, but the ability and the hungry earnestness of this one constructor of our northern woods were demonstrated remarkably. As fer the man nderneath-well, he was a young fellow with shotgun The young fellow with shotgun is q reasonably good shot i'll the count ,, and he kills snakes. He poured lo7d of shot into that black streak amo.. { the branches, and it dropped to the ground, merely foul, dead, moderately sized specimen of Boseanion eonstriefar- ---feereeV4c.4

A HoosEer Girl to Become q Nurse In the
 Cuban Army.
 Miss Anna k Coleman of Noble Cen. ter, Branch county, Mich, has left for Key West, where she hopes to find pas sage te Cuba. William R. Needham, aged 22. Michigan boy, is a soldier in the Cuban army under General Maceo, and Miss Coleman is Needham be- trothed. A love of adventure led Need ham to volunteer his services to the caase of Cuban independence.
 Miss Coleman will also tahe service with the Cuban army as nurse and is hopeful of being attached to the same command under whose standard Need. ham is fighting. When Cuban independ- enee is declared, the couple will return to the United States.
 Miss Colemans $ trip at this time is ill proof of her fidelity to Needham as we'll as attesting her desire to aid the cause of the struggling Cubans. -Cinoinnati Enquirer

Thernome

At times of severe frost many per. sons not skilled in the use of therm0m. eters report remarkably low tempera lures. These are often due to the ther- mometric liquid having partly evaporat. ed from the main column and condensed at the end of the tube farthest from the bulb, the thermometer then reading just SIS many degrees too low as there are degrees of spirit at the top Of the tube. Good thermometers are just as liable to this error as common ones, and there fore every one using a spirit minimum thermometer must De on the alert. Gen erally the owner can restore the ther mometer without sending it back to the maker Grasp the thermometer firmly, resting a finger on the tube so that there be no vibration, and, holding the bulb downward, give several strong, pendu, lous swings. This will usually send the spirits from tie top and send the index into the bulb. Stand the thermometers bulb downward for an hour, then re. verse it and very gently shake the in. dex out of the bulb and let 1t slide to the end of the column. when the ther- mometer will be as good as new.
