THE situation in Havana when the
Americans entered the city was indeed
horrible. OF course 1t has already i'm
proved under the American military
administration, but there is yet q
great amount of work to be done before
the city is made fit for hsbitation. The
report made to the war department by
the late Col. Warning, which we re-
print today, is significant as showing
one of the greatest reasons why this
nation had q perfect right to interfere
in Cuba on account of the menacing
condition of affairs in that island. The
statement of Col. Waring that the
Mississippi valley alone has lost as
much as one hundred millions of dol
lars during q single epidemic of yellow
fever,-the disease having been intro
duced from ba,-owing to the para
lyzation of industries and commerce, Is
sufficient to demonstrate our right to
interfere for our own protection. It
is likely that the United States will
spend large sum in cleaning up the
island, and it is also likely that Cuba
will remain under our authority until
We can assure ourselves that certain
sanitary reforms will be accomplished.

Dry food may contain, on analysis,
more nutrition than the same, or other

the silage be far the better food for

but it may be difficult to get it out,
and q COW, for instance, may use up
food constituents from q lot of dry,
woody fiber, than she has to spare.
Silage, is, so to speak, partly digested,
easily worked into alimentary pulp,
and hence more easily digested. It is
no small job for COW to grind up .

coated with silica, which must be-
come thoroughly macerated before its
nutrition becomes available. In

used for summer feed. In Texas green
pasturage may be made available all
the winter through, but where q crop
of grain is desired in addition there
will be a period when the cows are
taken of the winter grain that silage
will come in very handiIy. It may
also be used at any time with profit
regardless of pasturage or other con-
ditions. We should have more silos,
especially upon the premises of our
dairymen.
The success attained in the Pecos
valley about Barstow in growing and

in their production that it promises to
become an important industry in that

Charles F. johnson of firm of John
o. 0f
Casey, ILL.,, was busily engaged yester-
day in the Office of Commercial Agent
Bone of the Cotton Belt, relative to
the rates on broom corn, carloads,
from Texas points to St. Louis and
Cairo.
Mr.. johnson has not come hundreds
of miles from illinois simply to inquire
into rates, but represents some $12, 600
capital with which to inaugurate the
growing OF broom oornin Texas. He
has recently leased 300 acres at Eddy,
300 at Greenville and an additional 300
near Columbia, and on these farms he
proposes to plant broom corn. COM
mencing operations about 18th Of
February. He will ship the corn to
Casey, ILL.,, and other points, as the de-
mands of his business may require.
He says it is an astonishing fact that
Coles, Edgar and Clark counties in the
state OF Illinois produce e-1Ourths
of the broom corn in the world, but
more profit can be made in the same
crop right here in Texas than there,
because Texas has lands equally as
good and far cheaper. Labor is cheap
er and the climate In his opinion is
much better adapted for this industry
than there. There is profit in the crop
far ahead of cotton and the black waxy
land is just the right sort on which to
raise the broom corn.

MEXICAN TOBACCO
1t Promises to Supp1ant the Cuban
and Sumatrdn Product.


The Mexican tobacco industry is in
thriving condition, says q writer in
The Manufacturer, who predicts that
it will supplant the trade in Cuban and
Samaritan products. Tobacco is in
digenous to parts of Mexico. and sew.
eral native varieties are still cultivat-
ed, but in Vera Cruz, where most OF
the tobacco Is grown, stocks must be
replenished repeatedly by Cuban seed,
as the plants deteriorate rapidly. The
climate OF the gulf states OF Mexico Ia
similar to that of Cuba, and they are
in the same latitude. Recently the
isthmus of Tehuantepec has come to
the front in tobacco raising. The soil
there is deep and fertile, just the thing
for tobacco culture, and without fer
tilizers yields excellent crops. Throgh-
out Mexico the average yield of to-
bacco on fair land is over 1000 pounds
per acre, and on poor land nearly half
that amount. During 1896 the total
product was over 13, DOC. 600, 900 pounds,
and in 1897 it was somewhat larger.
In 1896 the United States in pOrted
S28, 900 worth of Mexican tobacco, raw
and manufactured. In 1896 this to-
bacco was worth q cents pound In
New York, while the importation In
1897 brought 40 cents per pound in the
same market. What the Cuban plant
ers have lost the Mexican growers are
in q fair way TO gain. We're it not for
q prejudice in the United States
against Mexican tobacco, whereby
most of 1t is sold as Cuban, the imports
would increase enormously. This pre-
judice is gradually disappearing. but
at present the bulk of she Mexican
crop goes to Amsterdam, Hamburg
and other European ports. It is said
that q voyage improves the tobacco
and gives it q certain "sea tone, >" Mex
lean cigars brought; by sea to New
York command as high price as the
best Cuban cigars.
The output of Mexican tobacco ts
likely to increase largely in the near
future, as its commercial possibilities
are attracting capital, especially in the
southern provinces, where the soil is
of great depoth and richness, the rain
fall is from 120 to 100 inches per annum
and the climate Is an endless summer.
One planter put in last year 2, 800, 900
tobacco plants at q cost of &c, 900 and
expects profit of $4,000. A Chicago
man, between Oct. 10 and Nov. l, 1897,
planted several acres; in less than five
months the plants were six feet high;
the tobacco WAS cut and dried and Is
now en- route to Holland. A Holland
er, an old 'Sumatra planter, has obtain
ed an option on $500 acres of fine land,
and is about to develop it. He says
the Mexican leaf Is a. good as the best
from Cuba and Sumatra. Numerous
factories have been established in
Mexico, one Of them with q capital of
81 200, 900, and it is asserted that when
better known Mexican cigars will
bring the higest prices in the market.

does all these things daily for his Wis

Jim Key is a Democrat-constant
and unswerWng. Even President Nc
Kinley could not induce him to chaege
his politics when the president had
chat with him on the grounds of the
Nashville exposition. The horse recog-
nlzed the president, told him his name

When the horse nodded an emphatic
affirmative Mr. Mckinley continued:
well, there's one living being in the
country, at least, who won't change his
politics for an Office"
OF the stories and anecdotes con-
corning this truly wonderful horse
there is no end. Efforts have been
made to disconcert him by mixing up
his alphabet and asking him to spell
words from which some of the neces-
sary letters have been removed from
his sight. The mixing up of the alpha
bet gives him small trouble. and when.
after careful look. he discovers that
some necessary letter is missing, he
gives unmistakable notice that he has
discovered the trick played on him.
Some ordinary words he spells upon
pronunciation. but IL word or name
IL new to him he will SO attest. and
only endeayor to spell 1t after it has
been once spelled for him. His owner
insists that no name has ever been
spelled to Jim which he could not re-
member and spell himself Immediately
afterwards. but Jim has never been
called upon to spell for the edification
of a Russian or Polish audience. He
goes though a regular program at his
performances. but questions are never
asked him in the same order. or never
exactly the same question at every
performance. SO the horse is not open
to the charge of doing things by rote.
The horse unQuestionably thinks-ex-
