Within the past few years the num-
ber of explosives has increased with
astonishing rapidity, as also the de-
mand for and the trade in these arti-
cles. Twenty years ago there were
nine factories turning out gun cotton
and nitro compounds. There are now
twenty mine, and as these include al
most all of the smokeless powder fac
tories, the advance in this line is evil
dent In 1876 there was but one
nitro -glycerine compound where now
there are nine. Neither the demand
for gun powder or the factories show
any marked increase. Over ten thou.
sand persons are employed in the
manufacture of these explosives, and
an enormous amount of capital is in
vested in such works.-The Ledger.

Anent the agitation in the South fo1

remedy for the alleged -produc.

Charleston News and Courier directs
attention to the fact that many years
ago South Carolina had place in the
records as an exporter of wheat foul

about 17G0 AID continued into the
present century until cotton sup,

much more -four was manufacted in
the State one hundred years ago than
now, although population and re.
sources have multiplied many fold. A
century and half ago corn was San

State, and the trade continued for
over fifty years, as there is a record OF
shout 100000 bushels exported in
1902. Not long thereafter corn became

Apple Pomace rs Feed.

There is considerable nutriment in
pomace as it comes from the mill.
Stock will eat it quite readily if fed
before it begins to ferment. This,
however, it does very soon if exposed
to the air. Consequently it is best to
place the pomace in air-tight barrels
Or hogsheads, so as to keep air from
it, and cover the pomace with some-
thing that will hold down the carbonic
acid gas and prevent its escape as it
forms. This is really ensilaging it.
The pomace itself has nos nutritive
value to make this worth while. Its
chief value is its succulency, and it
should be fed with grain, hay or meal,
80 as to give the proper proportion of
nutrition. When put up in air-tight
barrels and kept slightly below freez-
ing temperature there will be no more
fermentation in the pomace than there
is in the silo, and it can oe used tD'
late in the winter.

Says the Philadelphia Record
Justice Patterson Of New York, in o
speech before the Law Club of that
city recently, deplorod the fact that
the law had become so largely trade
instead of profession; and on the
following day DR.. Edward Everett
Hale, in an address before an educa.
tional body in the same city on "Mor-
ality in the Public Schools" made the
declaration: 'There is danger of the
managers of great machine taking
more pride in the machine and its
workings than in the results it turns
out. This is the danger in orr public
schools" These words will, of course,
be resented as the views of pessimists;
yet they come from men qualified to
speak as public teachers, and com.
ing simultaneously they gain an en-
phasis which must command atten.
tion. We are accustomed to fatter
ourselves with the idea that our devel.
opment along material lines neces.
sarily involves corresponding de-
velopment along intellectual and

dominate almost every action Of cur

True Life History of the Goblin Moth.

Irue Lie Hissory OF the Goblin Moth.
According to Professor M. V. Sling
erland, OF Cornell experiment station,
The old story of the entomologists about
the Goblin moth laying its eggs in the
blossom end of the apple is a myth.
The moth that lays the eggs does not
appear until week after the blossoms
tall, and then it deposits them upon
The side of the apple. In about ten
lays they hatch and the little worms
crawl around ON the surface until they
find the calyx, then creep in between
the lobes which have by thin time
closed tightly. Up to this time the
insects have not eaten, but soon after
entering the calyx they begin to gnaw
their way into the apple.
From this it can be seen that trees
should be sprayed for this insect as
soon as the blossoms fall, as the paris
green can then be deposited in the
calyx where it will be eaten by the
worm, while if it is delayed ten days
Of longer, the calyx will have closed
over the basin and the paris green will
nnly be deposited ON the outside of the
fruit, where it will in no way injure
she young worm. The closing of the
,alyx is in one way a good thing as it
covers the poison and protects it from
being washed out by rain. The calyx
of the pear does not close, and hence
It will be better to wait for ten days or
Two weeks after the blossoms fall be-.
lore spraying pear trees, as there will
be less danger of the poison being
washed away.-New England Home.
