Decrease.

TO6CESdSG.
Horses and nules-A further decrease
is shown in the numbers Of these two
classes of animals, but in the case OF
each the general situation is improving
and horses show an advance of 50. 81 per
head, while the decline in price OF
mules, S. cents per head, is merely NOM
inal. The improvement in price Of
horses is noted in all sections of the
country, but this does not apply to all
grades. Only the better class of ami
mails, good farm stock, heavy draught
horses and good to fancy driving stock
is wanted at any satisfactory price The
long and severe depression of the horse
industry has served one good purpose
it has stopped the breeding of inferior
stock, and will result in decided and
permanent elevation of the average
quality of American horses.
Cows and other cattle-Dairying con-
tinues to grow in Importance as a
brand Of rural husbandry Milk COWS
are the only class Of stock that came
through the long depression without
suffering in numbers and value The
total number is now the largest on rec
ord, the average price per head higher
than at any time in the past ten years
and the general quality of dairy stock
better than ever before. During the
past II months numbers have increased
2 per cent. and an average price ad-
vanced SO per head.
Other classes of cattle show the
gratifying Improvement Of nearly 81 sc
per head, but this does not fully repres-
ent the betterment in the situation. For
two or three years market demands
have gradually drained the country OF
the proper beef ages, and as a result
our total cattle supply today is made VI
of a larger proportion Of young cattle
and calves than perhaps ever before
This increase in average price per head
in spite of a decrease in the average
age, shows the strength of the cattle
situation.
Sheep-In our report for 1897 we said
1n spite of decline Of about per cent
in number, the slaughter of fiocks has
ceased and a period of rapidIy-increas-
| ing numbers Is at hand" Present re.
turns abundantly verify that state.
ment, the total number Of sheep being
now estimated at more than 1,00000(
| above last years figures. Farm prices
for sheep have advanced more rapidly
than have market quotations, indicating
that those owners who during the last
few years sent their f1ocks to slaughter
are now competing with those same
slaughterers by bidding for sheep to
stock their farms.

FLORIDA IN JANUARY.
(From a private letter.

Daytona, Florida, Jan. 1t.
We rejoice that we did not let slip the
opportunity of enjoying novel and de-
lightful experience in coming to this
place. Our friends took us out to their
orange grove, where we revelled in the
sight of the large golden clusters in the
midst of the dark, glossy leaves; saw
the arrangement for Sizing and box
ing; sucked the delicious juice, cool and
sweet, and of unsurpassed favor many

now kept in a box with wire grating

the beautiful grounds of his brother and
sister across the river, on the ''peninsu-

LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY.
Report for Last Year Shows Gratifying
Conditions.

Report for Last Year Shows Gratifying
Conditions.
The Orange Judd Farmers annual live
stock report, based upon local county re-
turns, issued Feb. 2, Is eloquent OF the
Improvement in the agricultural stu
alton during the past year. 1t remarks:
A year ago we were the first to make
definite presentation Of the facts tndi-
eating that the turning point in our
continued live stock depression had been
passed and that we were again on the
up grade. The improvement then noted
was small but exceedingly gratifying,
breaking, as 1t did, the continued steady
shrinkage OF aggregate value OF farm
stock that began In 1893 The returns
this year show continued gain in aggre-
gate value, and the increase over the
figures Of 1897 bears evidence Of the
width and depth of the wave Of I'M
provement. The total value of all class
es Of farm animals on Jan. l, 1898, Is
estimated at 50, 30T ,012 900, against our
estimate year ago, compiled from data
gathered from the same sources by the
same methods, of 81 1856, 600, or clear
increase in this form of farm wealth.
during the past year of $15O,OoS,O OO. IN
this Improvement every class OF farm
animal bears o part, even horses which
year ago failed to show any signs OF
Improvement, now showing an increase
in the average value per head OF seven
per cent. The most gratifying feature
of the showing this year, because II
must be taken as indicative OF the per-
rnanent character of the improvement,
Is the fact that this improvement in
price is quite generally accompanied by
an increase in numbers. For five years
prior to Jan. /, 1897, each annual re-
turn showed decreasing numbers and
declining prices of farm animals. Sucn
a combination is evidence of the prog
ress of a serious readjustment. Now
we have the more healthful combina-
tlon, increasing numbers and advancing
prices, which must be taken as indica-
tive of a permanent change for the bet
ter.
The high-water mark of total value OF
farm animals was reached in 1889, when
the aggregate was $2,507 050,0 600. 1t t1uc-
tuated around this figure until Jan. l,
1892, when it stood at $2,4S3, oO7 900. AT
that point the decline began, and so
rapid was the shrinkage il! value that
on Jan. l, 1886, in three years, it had
fallen to 81, $50, 400 600, loss Of 1922, $685.
600. or twenty-five per cent.
From JAN l. 1895, to Jan, l, 1898,
there has been an increase of $176, 592, 7
600, and the greater part of 1t within
the last twelve months
The general character of the improve
ment is, perhaps, best shown by com
parative statement of the average price
per head Of the different classes of stock

A FEW DECORATIVE SUGGESTIONS
Nearly every home can find room for
a useful and pretty little corner of some
description, and for the woman with a
little ability there are many dainty de-
signs. The illustration shows four diff
ferent ideas for home decoration. The
three-cornered cabinet, which somewhat
resembles the old-fashioned "what-not, -
would look very pretty made of stained
white wood and would be quite an adj
dition to an otherwise bare corner
Then there is am elaborate design for
a doorway, with ornamental scroll work
and the curtain draped ON one side only
And the shelf over the door on which
are placed a few bits of old china, gives
very artistic air to any room. Thes
and many other items are the thin
that help to make the home beautiful.

Garnish the whole with few colored

very fashionable, and l have selected
this one because it can be carried out
without an ice cream freezer, which
every one is not fortunate enough to
possess. Rough ice, however, can usual

THE WAR is JUST.
President Z. BENJAMIN Andrews, Of
Brown University, Tells the Seniors
What He Thinks About 1t.

President z. Benjamin Andrews
made, in his baccalaureate sermon TO
the Brown university seniors recently
in the First Baptist meeting house,
says the Providence, r. l., cores
pondent of the New York ''Sun," a
vigorous address on the war. He
justified the war without reserve, and
sharply criticised the peace folks.
He said:
If an event is benignant, helpful
TO mankind, and spontaneous, aris-
ing without human plan, we may
feel sure it comes from God. Al
though probably the greater part OF
this war is ahead, the part past may
be tested by these criteria. This war
has already done hundred times,
yes, infinitely more, toward binding
together the other agencies since the
Rebellion rent them asunder This
war is based on high moral interests,
the welfare of a part Of the human
family. The war will help great pop
ulations Of human kind that have had
no hope of rising politically. Latin

Saxons, to US, for their industrial,
educational and religious models To
help such people it is. not necessary
for the United States TO become a
great conquering nation, although |
hope she will extend her dominion
somewhat. We should abhor the
spirit OF mere conquest, but it is
right for nation, as it is for an in
dividual, to try to shed its light in
dark places.
"But many good people say this
war is wrong because all war is wrong.
We must remember, however, that
we are not yet perfect. AS we have
to call in force on our streets to keep
order, SO nations are called on to put
down fragrant wrongs. Some say this
war is wrong because the Cubans are
a bad lot, and can never have any civ
ilization. SO Europe said of US dur
ing the Revolution. You probably
can't make Great Britain out OF
Cuba, but we can see to it, for in
stance, that titles to land there and
in Porto Rico are good. How much
it would mean to the world If we
should establish good order there and

COMMUNICATION BY CABLE.
Lieutenant Colonel Allen Re-EstabIishes

Lieutenant Colonel Allen Re-EstabIishes
the Line at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
WASHINGTON, June %. - General
Greedy received from Lieutenant Colo
mel Allen yesterday afternoon a dis
patch stating that the first American
military station in Cuba, Camp McCalla,
Guantanamo bay, had been brought
into electrical communication with the
rest of the world by the establishment
of telegraph Office, which opened
about o'clock.
To General Greedy and his signal
corps belongs the honor of achieving
this last feat. He was entrusted some
weeks ago with the task of re-establish-
ing cable and telegraphic communica-
tions with Cuba. Under his supervision
Lieutenant Colonel James Allen of Gen
eral Miles staff, with officers and men
of the signal corps, have been busily en-
gagged in the execution of that work.
The French Gable company, whose
cable runs from Santiago to Guantanamo
bay and thence to Cape Haitien, where
direct connection is obtained with
New York, was accorded the privilege
of restoring this communication with
Guantanamo and Santiago, with per-
mission to send commercial and domes-
tic dispatches under strict military
censorship necessitated by war condi-
