their usefulness and adaptability as pack

any Jersey. Driving is no longer an I'M

more than 500 miles during the winter. 1t
is an exhilarating pleasure to drive a team
of fieet-footed deer. They trot along at the
rate Of four to eight miles an hour. Often,
when travelling at great speed. they skim
their noses over the surface of the snow

ACHIEVING FINANCIAL INDEPEND-
ENCE

The fact that the balances in our direct
trade with Germany. France and even Aus
tralia are coming direct to us from those
countries has caused uneasiness on the part
of bankers in London. Heretofore when deal
ing with foreign countries settlement has
been made in London. If we purchased mer-
chandise in Australia, or even in France
and Germany. we paid for it by draft or bill
of exchange on London, and if we sold goods
in foreign countries we were paid in a SIM
liar manner. These methods have compelled
the paying of tribute to London bankers.
Recently, however, we are buying and sell
ing abroad without regard to London. The
trade balances are now largely in our favor.
Consequently, Germany has been sending
gold direct to us, and Australia recently
shipped 100000 direct to San Francisco.
Those who keep the run of such matters
estimate that in the course of few months

NEGROES NOT DESERTED.
Administration VIII stand by COIOred
Office Holders I'm the south.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Republicans and
Democrats in Washington are exercised
over the report that the administration has
"gone back on the colored brother in the
South and yielded to the prejudice of the
white man against the appointment of ne
groes to local Offices In proof of this the ru-
mored resignation of Loftin, the negro post
master of Georgia, is pointed to. The story Is
that Loftin has resigned to try for
position in one of the departments in WASH
ington, and this move on his part is ac-
cepted blindly by many as meaning the
abandonment by the administration OF
further recognition of negro Republicans Of
the South. The incident, however, has no
such wide signihcance. III Lo1tln mas re-
instance of panic-stricken colored
man who prefers gong AFTER
taking further risks OF assassination at

but by no means establishes the general
proposition that the colored Republicans Of
the South are going to be deprived OF the
support and protection which the federal
government throws about all It's citizens.
regardless of race, sex or condition. II will
be discovered when the time arrives FOR a
demonstration. that the administration Is
right up behind the Republicans OF the
South, and that it will be made safe for
any man TO hold a government position in
any part of the domain.

put in an appearance here to-day. 30 far
as the Washington authorities are advised,
Loftin has no intention of resigning, unless
an inducement in the form OF another good
position in the government service is offered
him. A suggestion that he be given another
place was made by Loftin's Wife, who is
also assistant postmaster, IN letter to the
Postoffice Department. In this letter she re-
ferred to the imminent danger of a renewal
of violence and expressed fear for both her
husband and herself. She had begged her
husband to resign. but he had declined,

out. Despite his attitude, she urged that

One of the Democrats who was leader
in the anti-Bryan movement in this city a
year ago asked a Republican to vote for
Mr.. Taggart on the ground that if Mr.. Tag
CART should be reelected it will be easier
for the Republicans to elect a delegation to
the Legislature in 1898 and thus insure an
other Republican United States States SEN
ator. A Republican city administration, he
went on to say, would create dissensions
in the party which would make it much
more difficult to carry the county year
hence. He declared, further, that between
a silver Democrat for United States senator
and gold Republican he would be for the
Republican as he was in 1896. This should
be very instructive to the hundreds who
were enrolled. a few months ago. to stand
for the 16-to-1 heresy.

ENORMOUS POTATO CROP.
Successful Treatment for Blight and
Rot at Cornell University.

ITHACA, N. Y. Oct 4.-The potato crop
of the Cornell University farm this year is
attracting very wide attention because of
its high excellence at a time when rot and
blight are general throughout the Atlantic
Coast States The yields at the university,
on Indifferent gravelly and loamy soil,
which has had no fertilizer for four years,
is 300 bushels per acre, absolutely free from
rot. The cost of the crop per acre, liberal
ly estimated, is about $40, in the following
items:
Seven civilizations at so cents ......... $3.50
Four sprayings, at 81 each .............. 400
Sixteen bushels seed OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 500
Flowing and planting .................... 800
Total.......... ................. ........ $3.50
The only item which is liable to much in
crease is the cost of seed, the seed in this
case having been bought when potatoes
were cheap Now the net price for the crop
is 60 cents per bushel, or $3.50 an acre, leav
ing $3.50 profit on each acre of the crop.
The land is of a kind ordinarily purchas-
able at about $35 an acre for farm pur-
poses. 1t is we'll within the truth to say
that this crop land others before it, shows
that, with scientific knowledge, a potato
crop can be produced worth more than
three times the purchase value of the land
1t is raised on.
The important points in this successful po-
tato culture are stated by the College of
Agriculture to be: ID proper fitting of the
land; (2) proper planting; 60 proper and
sufficient cultivation; ca proper spraying.
The last is a specific against potato blight
and potato rot. In raising this enormous
crop the college neglected fertilizers. and
did not select land best suited to potato cul-
ture. Elsewhere on the farm, these factors
being added, the record-breaking yield of
$50 bushels to the acre has been reached.
1t should be added that the potatoes are of
uniformly, marketable quality, with no
waste. The average yield in this State this
year is estimated at not more than sixty
five bushels to the acre. and the largest av-
erage yield the State has ever known was
120 bushels.
The prevention Of blight and subsequent
rot by spraying with Bordeaux mixture is
an idea which is already being taken up by
farmers. The usual method of using it.
however, is to wait until the blight APP
pears and then spray. II is then too late.
At the university the potatoes are repeat
edly sprayed while green and healthy, and
the blight never appears. The report OF
this amazing crop at Cornell, together with
the generally poor crop in the State, has
led to a great demand for recent bulletin
of the experiment station treating of po-
tato culture and the prevention of blight
and rot and thousands of copies are being
mailed weekly to farmers.
