The Worlds Debts.

The London Mail estimates the en-
tire debt of the world at something
like thirty thousand million dollars. If
universal court of bankruptcy were
appointed and the whole of this debt
ordered paid by the total population of
the world, irrespective Of age, sex or
nationality, each ones share would be
twenty dollars. That would include
every man, woman or child in the
world. OF course, there isn't the
slightest assumption that this debt
VIII ever be etirely liquitated. The un-
paid bills of Great Britain alone
amount to nearly three thousand mil
Iron dollars, so that every Englishman
owes great deal more than the aver
age twenty dollars The debt per head
OF the English population Is seventy
dollars. According to the Mail, if the
Chancellor OF the Exechequer were to
begin tomorrow to pay OF the debt of
the empire at a sovereign every sec
ond, and if he were to live to be a
hundred, he would hardly have made
any appreciable reduction in the sum
owing, If 1t were decided to pay of
the debt in that way, the last sovereign
would be paid about the year 226O.-

Carving Money.

1t Is amusing to notice the various
methOns in which men of different ma
t.oralities carry their worldly wealth
The Englishman carries his change in
his right-hand trousers pocket-gold,
silver and copper all mixed up togeth-
eT He pulls handful of the mixture
out of his pocket in a large opulent
way and selects the coin he has need of
The American carries his wad of
bills in peculiar long narrow pocket
book in which the greenbacks lie fiat;
the Frenchman makes use OF leather
purse with no distinguishing charac-
teristics, while the German uses one
gayly embroidered in silks by the fair
hands of some Lottchen or Nina.
The half civilized capitalist from
some torrid South American city car
ries mis- dollars in belt, with GINNING
ly devised pockets to battle the gentle
men with the light fingers. Some of
these belts are very expensive.
The Italian of the poorer classes ties
up his little fortune in a gayly eolored
handkerchief secured with many knots
which he secrets in some mysterious
manner about his clothes A similar
course has charms for the Spaniard;
while the lower class of Russian exhi-
bits a preference for his boots or the
lining of his clothes as a hiding place
for his savings.

Untsinted PopuIism.

The middle -ofzthe- road Populists
have declared war to the knife on the
fusionists.
The national organization committee
OF the Peoples party has issued, wIvh
the Endorsement of the National Re-
form Press association, an address TO
the Populists, outlining a plan OF ac-
fion whereby the fusionlsts may be
prevented from controlling the next
national convention of the party. 1t
is evident that the Chicago platform
will no longer be a bait for the Popu-
lists. The committee has declared un-
equivocally for the original Omaha
platform, "preferring to adhere to
untainted Popullsm rather
than to traffic in those sacred princi-
pies Tor personal or political advance
ment and gain"
While the middle-of-the-road Popu-
lists hold out the olive branch Of
peace to the fusionists, they declare
emphatfcally their inteption to contest
bitterly for the control of the national
convention, should the fusionists op-
pose them. The plan outlined by the
nationaI organization committee will
give formidable strength to the mid
le-of-the-roaders, too, should 1t be
carried out with any degree OF effort
or enthusiasm. They propose first to
form precinct clubs to control the Sc
lection of delegates to county, state
and national conventions, and failing
in this, they are to select a contesting
delegations and to hold separate con-
ventions where 1t Is evident they are
in the minority.
This contest will form an interesting
feature of next years political cam
paign and will place another thorn in
phe silver-curbed "anti-imperlalistic"
path of Colonel Bryan and his follow
ers who have been counting so strong
ly up fusion in 19OO.-Ohio State Jour
nal.

county, where a Kurtz had been pre-
viously chosen, the administrator
forces selected a contesting delegation
In Allen county, where the Hanns
committee had chosen a delegation
the opposition today selected a con.

ties with Cuyahoga, are the only ones
where contests have been held so far
In Licking county there was a spirited
contest between the Nash and Daugh-
erty men, resulting in a mixed delega-
ton, according TO adverse claims.
Judge Nash received a telegram
from Postmaster ]. M. Ickes, of New.
ark, saying the nine delegates were all
for Nash. At the Daugherty head
quarters Nash is conceded five only
Crawford county furnished the sur
prise of the day, in view OF the State
ment made this morning In Rneyrus
by Attorney General Frank s, Monnett
who in answer to query whether he
was a candidate for Governor, said:

His friends seemed to have surprised
him as well as the public, which gen.
orally supposed he would be indorsed
by his own county.
The Crawford county convention did
not indorse Monnett for Governor, but
sends a delegation divided between
Kurtz, who gets 2; Nash, who gets /,
and DaughePty the fourth. The eight
delegation In Butler county, selected
today, is conceded to Col r. M. NeVip.
The eight in Erie are conceded to
Judge Linn w. Hull. The three in Ot-
tawa and the tour in Defiance are said
to be for an administration candidate,
and neither Nash nor Daugherty have
information on which to base claims
tonight. State Chairman Daugherty,
while making no specific claims, issues
the statement tonight that, of the dele
gates selected up to this time, and not
including Cuyahoga county, he has
seventy-five more delegates than the
field. He expressed himself as being
well satisfied with the present situa-
ton.
Mr.. ]. r. Malloy gave out from the
Nash headquarters the following claim
Not counting CuyahOga, 435 delegates

BIG TRANSFER
0f Land in Mason and Jackson
Counties.

A few days ago the county clerk oil
jackson county received deed for
record which transferred over $1,000
acres of land from Morris b. Derrick
and wife to Charles Berry and wife,
both parties to the transfer being res
idents OF Chicago. On Friday Mr..
Robertson Palmer, a Chicago lawyer.
said to be a grandson OF Senator
and ex-Presldentlal candidate John M.
Palmer, of Illinois, appeared in Rip
ley as a representative of Barry and
began making preparations to get pos
ession of the property. The tract ex-
tends from Muses. Bottom, In Mason
county, to Skull Run, In Jackson coun-
ey, and Is covered with hundreds of
small farms whose owners have al
ways considered their titles perfect,
and who will bitterly fight any and all
attempts of the alleged owners to eylot
them from their homes,
Twenty-Five years ago the tract, then
known as wild land" was transferred
to Derr ok and wife by John w. Park
er, and Derrick seems to have eonsld-
cred it as almost worthless, as II Is al
legged he failed to pay the taxes year
after year, and 1t finally passed into
other hands,
AS time passed it became thlckly
populated, and 1t is now considered the
most productive farming region in the
State. The land is not mountainous,
nor Is 1t covered with timber, but, on
the other hand, It is as level as the
prairles of Illinois and Is as fertile as
1t is advantageously situated.
The homes of the farmers are hand
some and well kept, and their out
buildings are stocGed with all the most
modern agricultural machinery.
Although the property, so far as ac-
reage Is CONCERNED contains but one
fifth the amount Of land claimed by
Henry @. King, of Boston, In his ia
nous suit which mas been in the courts
for years, the amount involved is fuzzy
as great. The property claimed by King
is mostly timber land, situated in a
poorly settled mountainous region and
valued on an average at ten dollars an
acre, the claim covering about half a
million acres, while the Barry claim,
located in the section referred to above
is worth on an average from forty to
fifty dollars an acre, and If the proper
ty claimed by King is worth the
amount named in his contention, i. e.,
$4,000, ,O00,that claimed by Barry would
bring fully as much. The legal repre-
sentative of Barry is reported to have
said that he would secure possession
Of the property at all hazards Should
this be so, he will have the fight of his
life in the courts, with the chances that
he will never obtain possession, courts
or no courts.
There is much bitterness felt among
the residents Of both Mason and Jack
son counties, and those living on the
property assert they will, If necessary,
protect their homes with their lives

Cultivation of Vegetables.

To secure a good crop of vegeta bles
three things, at least, are necessary,
namely: suitable soil, pure seed, and
clean culture, to which may be added,
as equally necessary, an abundant
supply of good barnyard manure, sup
plemented when this runs short by
artificial fertilizers. The exposure of
vegetable garden should be perfect
ly south or southwest. The soil should
be naturally rich and friable, a sandy
loan being the best; if the soil be stiff
it should be gradually mellowed by
the free use of barnyard manure or if
convenient by the addition of sand; if
wet or inclined to hold an excess of
moisture it should be underdrained,
preferably by tile, but ii possible a
location should be selected naturally
dry and free from surface water. A
dark colored soil or one supplied with
a goodly portion of decayed vegetable
matter will produce the earliest crops,
and to produce the best and most
uniform results the vegetable garden
should have at least one foot of good,
rich soil. The roots of large trees
should not be allo we'd to encroach on
any part OF the garden, though large
trees, especially evergreens, sufficiently
far of, afford valuable protection on
the north and west.

Dairy Suggestions.

A COW was fed IA pounds of corn
meal a day and made 160 pounds of
butter in 80 days. If another COW of
the same herd was fed over eight
pounds she began to take on fat. A
COW will eat much more rich grain
feed, if she is fed succulent feed, than
she will if she is not The ratio of
nitrogenous and n-nitrogenous nu-
trients in the cows ration should be
about 1.6. Selection and good feed
ing are the road to COW development.
Four pounds of corn meal, two pounds
of oil meal, four pounds of bran and
four pounds OF oats make an ideal
ration for the COW. A COW that has
been compelled to do all that she can
do right along ought to be worn out
at nine years old. If the mixer is
strange, or if the COW does not like
him, the milk will contain less butter
fat. A COW that is four or five years
old will give more butter fat than a
two-year old heifer. The greater
the quantity of milk, the larger the
quantity of butter fat. 1t is best to
get rid of hard mixer. The COW
can taint her milk by breathing I'M
pure air. There is great deal of
butter that is spoiled by too high col
orlng. Plant coru for ensilage this
year, if milk and healthy cows are de-
sired next winter. If some cows that
are utterly proftless, were fed as
dairymen feed, and properly cared
for, they would prove to be excellent
COWS. Feed heifers, with their first
calves, quite literally. Feed oats in
the bundle and save expense of thresh
ing. Turnips and cabbages may be
fed in limited quantities 10 hours be-
fore milking. tuberculosis is local
disease, and will attack various parts
of the system, sometimes the udder.
The more fat there is in milk the more
and richer cheese it will make. The
covered barnyard is fine thing for
the herd. Have shade in the pasture
even if you have to build an open
shed. Water that is exposed to the
mir in tank, soon becomes foul and
unfit for the COW to drink. The Epi-
tomist.

New-Laid Esgs for Setting.

Everybody knows that in hot
weather the exposure of eggs for two
or three days to summer temperature
affects their quality for eating. But
it is commonly supposed that for set
ting in an incubator or under n hen
any egg that is from week to ten
days old is as good as one that is
freshly laid. This is great mistake.
Unless brooded SO constantly that the
egg will never be chilled, the germ Of
life started into growth by heat during
the day is pretty sure to be chilled at
night. When the young life is started
it should never be allowed to get cold.
But even if cared for in the best way,
the egg few days old is inferior. Its
shell is porous, and as the moisture
from the inside exhales through it the
air space becomes larger inside, and
the shell is harder for the young chick
to peck through. The best results
are found from setting eggs the day
when they are laid, and, if possible.
while still warm from the hen which
laid them.
