A little mental arithmetic, based on
naval figures sent from Washington,
serves to show that the three rear-ad-
mirals senior to Dewey will all be
retired by the age limit before the
opening of next year, SO that by Janu-
ary l the hero of Manila will be the
ranking officer of the service. That
is one thing the Spaniards have done
to him, to Offset several things he did
to them.

GOOD ROADS NOTES.
Bad Roads and Feuds.

y
who lives in Laurel County, Kentucky,
and has been q student at the State
College in Lexington for three years,
was asked recently what, in his opin-
ion, caused mountain feuds. He hes
itated before answering, but he finally
said:
''Bad roads. You see, our roads
are so bad that four-horse team can
haul only $500 pounds of goods from
London to Manchester. This can be
done only during the summer and
fall months. In the winter and spring
it is impossible to haul empty wagons
over this road, and the mail has to be
carried on pack mules. We are there
fore shut OFF from the world during at
least five months in the year, and
when we do have communication, it is
50 slow and costly that many Of our
people have never seen railroad train,
and know nothing about cities. These
bad roads prevent our children from
going TO school during the winter
months and the result is that we have
a great deal of illiteracy. The mails
are few and necessarily slow, so that
we are entirely out of touch with the
world and all that is going on in it.
Freights are also very high. It costs
thirty. five cents hundred pounds to
haul freight from London to Manches-
ter, and to Hyden, the county seat of
Letcher County, it costs seventy-fve
cents hundred.
"Owing to the poor roads, very lit
tie work can be done in the winter,
and the enforced idleness breeds ig-
norance and crime. Many Of our peo
pie spend their dreary winter days and
nights in making and drinking moon
shine whiskey, and this often results
in shootings and killings, and often
starts feuds. If we had better roads
we would have more and better
schools, there would be fewer litter
ates, and our people would have some
thing else to think about besides
shooting and killing. We have many
bright young peoplcin the mountains,
bUt they have o opportunities and the
bad roads keep them at home, so they
usually drift into feuds and often be-
come outlaws. Bad roads are the
bane of the mountains and they cause
all the feuds."
The Rev. J. J. Dicke. a Methodist
minister, who has been working among
the mountain people, of Kentucky, for
fifteen or twenty years, and who has
studied their character closely, thinks
the only hope of the people in the
mountain part ofthe State lies in more
education and better roads. It has
been suggested to use the convicts in
building highways through the noun
tains, instead OF allowing them to re-
main in the penitentiaries engaged in
pursuits which keep thousands of
workmen who are not criminals from
having employment. Putting the con-
victs to work on the roads of the
mountains would present curious
spectacle.
AS there seem to be so many differ
ent opinions as to the causes of the
feuds in Kentucky, it is to be inferred
that they are the result Of various
causes, which the persons interviewed
have clearly pointed out. A concerted
effort will be made at the next session
of the Kentucky Legislature to have
roads built through the mountains by
the convicts.
1t is believed that good roads and
good schools will relegate the forty
five" to the rear.-New York Sun.

VIII Help to Reduce Taxes.

The wide-tire measure passed by
the New Jersey Legislature was due,
says Assemblyman Crispin, its origina-
tor, to ''its inestimable value to the
taxpayers who were constantly being
called upon for increased appropria-
tions for road improvements, by both
the farmers and bicyclists, which call
would be unnecessary if the broad
tire was adopted, as it would be of a
two-fold service; first, in making the
roads hard and smooth; second, in
doing away with the complaint from

A comparison of these figures shows
that the highest pay in the naval
service is less than the regular pay to
officers of corresponding rank in the
military service. The Army and Navy
Journal, without rejecting on the
army, points out that almost every
thing shat has been actually accom-
piished thus far in the war has been
done by the navy. 1t thinks such
good service should be recognized by
Congress by having the pay Of naval
officers made equal to that of the army
officers. This is a demand that will
strike the public as just. The Ameri-
can Navy has always given a good ac-
count of itself. Its recent achieve
meats should bring substantial reward
in the form of increased salaries, so
that the pay of naval officers shall
equal that of officers in the military
service.

SWINE.

Raise pumpkins for the hogs and cattle on the farm.
 Keep your hogs free from mango and lice. Clean quarters will help in this.
 Do not try to keep more hogs than your pasturage and feed will maintain in the best conditions.
 The kind and quality of food has much to do s-ith the flavor Of pork. Feed only good food.
 If it pays to raise hogs even as far north as Canada, where winters arc long and cold and lard high, why will it not pay better to raise them ir Arizona?
 When the farmer can give his pigs plenty of skim milk there will be less injury in feeding them some corn than there would be in feeding the corn alone; for the reason that together they make balanced ration.
 Take good care of the pigs. See that they get enough to eat to keep them growing. Don't let them get stunted. It pays well to manage for market by the time they are eight or ten months old
 It is not often good policy to sell a really good brod SOW, one that brings large litter of even-sized, healthy pigs and is good mother to them. The

farmer who has such a SOW ought not to sell it as long as she is not too old to bring him the usual tribute or until he is about to sell his farm and quit the business or the country.
 The hardship on the southern farmer in buying pork is in the fact that ill getting his meat, as he generally does, ill the way of advances. he has to pay an enormous premium on the cash price, and to pay it in 5 or cent cot ton. And yet he can raise this meat at
 home more cheaply than northern farmers from whose pens the hogs are seat to the market. In Texas very many of the farmers are getting out of this deadly rut.
 The day of the big hog has passed and the hog for the market now should tip the beam somewhere not very far from the 250 pound mark. The most profit in producing such animals is to have the pigs come early in the spring; supply them with good grazing and plenty of it together with never failing supply of good, pure water Give them a little grain all along and you can bring them to the desired weight before the severe cold of the winter comes upon them.
 X farmer in one of the black land counties lately told the Journal that he had raised hogs profitably, running the pigs first on native grasses and later feeding them on sorghum, cut before feeding, keeping on this until time to Iatten and that he had them ready for. market, weighing about 300 pounds, at aDOut fourteen months old hut I1a had seen enough to know that he could nave made more by feeding more and bringing the March pig to about 225 rounds in December, which he could have dOne.-Texas Stock Journal.

quickly. After parting, the gold is
 taken up in beracic acid bead, in
 which it melts together in perfectly natural sphere. To calculate the
 weight, the diameter of the pills of gold is obtained by microscope with cross hairs and sliding stage. To se- |cure the maximum accuracy the micro scope must be powerful. In this way, differences of 10 cents are detected on |cres containing values up to $15. As
 the value of the ore increases, the ac-
 curacy becomes less. This arrange
 n.ent of apparatus is very light, and can be packed in very small case. It has also the merit of cheapness, being not nearly so expensive as the smallest outfit on the market.

THE COPPER KING MINE.

THE COPPER kING MlNE-
 Owing to the numerous reports that are being circulated around regarding the trouble of the Copper King we re- print the following which appears in a paper published in Benton Harbor, Michigan, written by George M. Thres- her, who is fiscal agent of the com pany:
 "The report which appeared in yes terdays Evening News, copying re- porter's version in the Inter-Ocean, is true only to the extent that action has been commenced against B. c. Davis, president of the Copper King mine.
 This suit is really instigated by Mcssrs. Blackburn and Mansur, the principal owners of the mine, who have confidence in the property and are de voting their time at Bisbee, Arizona, in developing the mine. They became dissatisfied with the business manage nent of Davis and his persisteney in keeping three men on the board of con- troI whom he controlled, and which practically gave him full control of the business department. Every effort to elect three new directors out of the five would be defeated by shrewd and un- fair raethoas employed by Davis.
