WOOL FOR THE SOUTH.

The growth of the cotton manufac
turing industry in the South has served
to promote the industrial welfare of
that section, as have the great iron and
steel industries, but the woolen indus-
try cannot be expected to gain any
foOthold without the development of
wool growing beyond it's present scale.
The consumption of woolen goods in
the Southern States is increasing every
year, and with such favorable out.
look there is no reason why wooden in
dustries should not multiply and pros
per the same as they do in the North.
The South cannot depend on cotton
alone for it's future Industrial growth
and development. The population of
the South is growing every year, yet
the acreage of cotton will be reduced
about per cent. this year as compared
with 1897, according to ( fiji ;ial reports.
Southerners will naturally devote
thie7 per cent. OF land to other branches
OF farming. They are too prudent to
let it remain idle On the remote proph-
ecy of revival Of the cotton, growing
industry. There is no other branch Of
farming that guarantees such large re.
turns for the capital invested as wool
growing. That sheep husbandry on a
m7re extensive scale is contemplated

ger value Of a ton Of forage can be re-
covered in the manure. Itis generally
very bad policy to sell Ieeumir Gus bay
OF the farm, as the market price for
such is rot as a rule more than the fer
tiHz!ng value, ard often much less. On
the other hand, it may often pay to sell
such forage as timothy hay, for which
the markets Of most large cities gen
orally cffer much more than it's real
feeding value. City horeemen have a
deeply rooted but none the less mis-.
taken belief that timothy hay is a
strong and very nourishing food.
AS we have before remarked. tie
value of a green crop, or vegetable
matter turned under, lies partly in the
nitrogen thus added to the soil, and
partly in the humus into which the
vegetable matter soon passes. In light
soils the value Of the humus ie gener-
ally greater than that Of the nitrogen.
Such, too, is the case in old and much.
worn soils, whether they be light or
heavy. It is often advised TO sell ma
nuriaL crops and buy commercial fer
tilizer; but, for the reason Just given
the value Of humug-thIs is rarely
profitable. Get as much humus as
you can into the soil. Then buy as
much fertilizer as You find profitable
to use.

many complaints, has been making
chemical tests of many samples OF
vinegar. Cider vinegar contains from
8 to per cent. Of acid, averaging
about 4 per cent. Samples analy zed
by the station chemist showed IL per
cent acid and over, and were entirely
destitute of the odor and taste Of cider
vinegar. These had been sold TO retail
merchants at fancy prices as pure cider
vinegar, by eastern houses. Cider
vinegar made from apples has a de-
cidedly fragrant odor and is Of dark
brown color and has e flavor charac
teristicaliy it's own. The ash Of cider
vinegar is largely potassium carbon
ates and phosphates and gives 4 strong
potassium fame. Artificial vinegars,
malt vinegers, etc, contain much less
OF solids. Seldom as much as . per
cent, more frequently not to exceed !
per cent. The coloring matter is due
largely 80 caramel and is Of different
shade from thai Of pure cider vinegar.
The vinegar has little odor or favor
except that Of the acid from which it
is made.

There is a division of the opinion as
to the value OF the Cubans in our pres
ent struggle with Spain. Some insist
that they are entirely worthless, and
our SOLDIERS are said to dislike them.
But perhaps after all they are fighting
as bravely as ignorant men who know
little of modern arms could be expected
20 fight. The charge Of cruelty is
brought egaiDst them, but We should
remember that they are but human
and to most humans revenge is sweet.
Perhaps if the bodies of your father and
mother had been found among those of
the starved reconcentradoes, you,
too, would be little cruel in your
treatment Of captured Spauiards.
1t may be a surprise to some to learn
that evidenc ces of the horrors of Span
ish rule in Cuba are still seen daily. 1t
was only last week that we read in the
dailies the following pititul appeal ad
dressed by the starving people of Glen,
fuegos to Rear Admiral Sampson:
Honorable Sir: The Cubans, old
men, women and children, resident in
the town of Cienfuegos and this neigh
borhood, are all dying of hunger. The
young men are all in the field with the
Cuban troops, have not shoes, neither
food. All the provisions in this town
are in the hands of the Spaniards Gu
bans cannot obtain a piece of bread, as
it is necessary to send everything to
tbs ti9ld The Weyler system is in the
way. The situation is terrible. If
you, honorable sir, do not come quickly
with your squadron and take posses
sion Of this town we shall be lost. We
beg you to precipitate your operation.
About 900 old men, women and chill
dren will die Of hunger in this town
Some Of these old men have four or
five sons fighting for their freedom. II
the great people of the United States
do not come quickly to our help we are
lost For Gods sake come quickly.
(Signed) some CUBANs."
1t is hard for human being to
handle tenderly the men who murdered
his father. Can we expect these sons
to smother entirely their desire for re

SOME RECENT BULLETINS.

The North Dakota Station tested
average samples from three carloads
of wool and found that in each case
more than so pounds out of every 100
pounds was lost in securing. That is,
100 pounds of the wool weighed less
than 40 pounds after being secured.
This same station, in response to

There are, several people In this
world who do not want the truth. We
don't care to do missionary work among
these, but we do hope that friends Of

brainworks are run by the machine,

Murder will out. Here's another
proof of the fact. We believe we have
thus far failed to note the confirmation
Of the theory of American naval inves
tigators that the bending inward and
upward of the Names keel was a proof
that the explosion was from the out
side. 1t will be remembered that un-
der the terrific fire of our feet the
magazines in the Spanish ships at San
tiago exploded. Investigation proves
that the effect was to blow up the
decks while the hulls were not COM
pletely pulveriz3d nor were the keels
turned up as in the case of the Maine.
Can it longer be doubted that the
Maine was blown up by the Spaniards
IN revenge for American friendship
for the Cubans2
