rible realities of war when one : own country Is the scene of con flict.
 More especially would the south be slow about crying war when the brunt of any attack must fall on her, as 1t would if we fought with Spain, over Cuba. The southern coast, lily defended as it is, would be attacked by Spanish ships. Some of our cities would suffer great losses of property and some loss of life. Society would be distracted, diverted from the usual avocations. Material affairs would languish. Failures in busi- ness would be a necessary conse- quence. If Spain found an ally in France-and it's not very un- likely she wouid-we might have to repel invasion, which would be directed at the shores of the south Our warm-blooded young men would be sacrificed in thousands, and what, pray, would be the compensation for all these losses, supposing we won the fight in a half year. Free Cuba, you an swer what would free Cuba be to the south2 What as an annexed state? As free community, re Iieved from all extraneous restraint, the island would be converted into the scene of an internecine war of extermination The high-strung, cruel and indomitable native Span iards would never, while they could draw breath, submit to the negroes and mongrels, who com pose 90 per cent of the insurgents. The population would be rent in. to irreconciliable factions and the end would be that the United States must take in the island, make 1t d state, reduce 1t to order, revive in dustry and then what would hap pen to our sugar industry2 Ii would be knocked out, for the comparative cost of production i. all in favor of the Cuban planter and Cuba on the inside would be a destructive competitor for muef else than our sugar supply.
 So We would have made fearfu sacrifices, only to find out at last that it was all at our own cost, oI life and treasure.-Chattanooga Times.

Fostered by associa- tion and prescriptionized by GUS tom, this ideal home, reigned over by all those charming graces that bespeak the purity of the inner soul, has been to Us an inspira- ton, a qualification, source of pleasure and d boon.

THE ASPARAGUS INDUSTRY THREAT
ENyED


Danger to the asparagus industry by rust
is feared by growers more this year than
ever. Experience at various market garden
centers in the East shows that where the rust
was serious last summer, the crop this spring
is inferior in size and quality Fields which
were badly rusted 1ast year have given much
lghter cuttings this spring than other fields
that were not attacked by fungi. Indeed
some growers fear that if the rust strikes in
seriously this season. it may almost ruin
many valuable beds. While there is less com
plant in the West it is well for growers to
understand the situation
II IS recognized that rust and leopard spot
are the most serious dangers that have er
threatened the asparagus grower. This spring
Is lurnlshlng experience which shows that the
rscommendation cut o f and blu n tn rls ed
tops during summer may be remedy
worse than the disease. At Concord fields
that were thus cutof and burned last August
have made very little growth this spring and
were hardly worth cutting. To thus NOW
seems to cause bleeding of the stalks and
weakening OF esroots- that is almost fatal
On the other hand, asparagus beds that were
baoly rusted last-fa1i,, but were allowed to
stand, sent out new shoots which made quite
growth before frest. Such beds seem to
even when well manfred they showed a much
lighter yield than beds that were not rusted.
we wish every asparagus grower would
port his experience with this pest, especially
any treatment that seems to have reduced is
ravsges. Several CT the experiment station
are going deeply into the problem and we
hope and believe that some pract cable re ned
may be discovered. The asparagus trade in

ENCOURAGING VIEW OF WHEAT.

The truth is the undertaking would long
since have met the same fac as previous
similar schemes except that the breaking out
OF the war came in to interrupt the ordinary
course of things. That served to give promi-
nence to the shortage of wheat supplies re-
sul1ng from poor crops for two successive
seasons, and led to sort of panic am n
consumers. But, as events have demonstrated
the abnormal prices proved a powerful mag
net in drawing out cd reserves Not only

obviously these exceptional shipments from
other countries involved a menace to the in

The general run of stock during the weeh

hogs was fairly good for this market -

there were few lots of excellent stuff Ono
feature of the market which is lust now ar
tracing attention is the large numbers ~
cows that are being sent in, not onlv IN tho
market here, but, according to reports from
Cnlcago ana elsewhere, to those markets as
we'll. There does not seem to be any rational
reason for this state of things bevond the
mere fact that farmers are attracted by th.
present high price of cattle generally. and
are not loath to part with their cows without
regard to whether they shall 20 to the
slaughter beds or not 1t is this remarkable
condition of things which is exciting critf

business foresight which induces the farmer
to part with animals which might form the
nucleus for revival Of breeding. So con-
siderable has been the marketing of cows
the present season that the effect is likely to
extend in a crtain measure, to the butter
trade. The marketing of mich COWS and
their slaughter for the production of canned
meats, which is the use generally accorded
to these animals, must necessarily curtail
the supply of milk and hence the manufac-
ture of butter. 1t is noted, however, by q
Chicago trade Journal that the butter trade
is affected by the Withholding of COWS and
calves from the market in certain localities.

their appreciation of the scarcity of cattle
