A REPRESENTATIVE PIRATE.
Capt. Kidd Was Utterly without Any
Sense of Honor and His Name
! became n Terror.

1t is said that Kidd showed no re-
pentance when he was tried. but in
sisted that he was the victim Of ma
licious persons who swore falsely
against him. And yet n more thorough
ly dishonest rascal never sailed under
the black flag. In the guise of an nc-
credited officer of the government. he
committed the crimes he was sent out
to suppress; he deceived his men; he
robbed and misused his fellow-country-
men and his friends; and he even de-
scended TO the meanness Of cheating
and despoiling the natives of the West
These people were in the habit of sup
plying pirates with food and other me-
cessaries. and they always found their
rough customers entirely honest and
willing to pay for what they received,
for as the pirates made a practice of
stopping at certain points for supplies,
they wished, of course, to be on good
terms with those who furnished them.
But Kidd had no ideas of honor toward
people of high or low degree. He would
trade with the natives as il he intended
10 treat them fair, and pay for all he
got, but when the time came for him
TO depar, and he was ready to weigh an
chor, lac would seize all the commodi-
ties he could lay his hands on, and with
out paying copper 10 the distressed
and indignant Indians he would gayly
sail away, his black flag Haunting de-
risively in the wind.
But although in reality Capt. Kidd
was no hero, he has beeh known fer a
century and more us the great Amer
lean pirate, and his name has been rep
resentative of piracy ever since. Years
after he had been hung. when people
heard that vessel with black flag
or one which looked black in the dis
tance-hying from its rigging had been
seen, they forgot that the famous pirate
was dead, and imagined that Capt. Kidd
was visiting their part of the coast in
order that he might find good place to
bury some treasure which it was no
longer safe for him to carry about

INTELLIGENCE ON THE FARM.

What Farmers Voice seys of the
Grange in the following paragraph ap
plies with equal force to the Alliance.
It says:
There is no single thing Of greater
promise to the future of American
agriculture than the changing atti-
tude of practical farmers to the ques-
tion of education This is partly due
to the splendid WORK being done by the
agricultural colleges, to which refer
ence has 80 often been made in these
columns; but quite as much Of it is due
to the changing conditions in the busi,
ness world which re equire that in agri.
culture, as in all other industrial lines,
close economy and high intelligence
must be exercised if success is to fol-
low effort. In this connection we note
what Aaron Jones, Master of the Ma
tionaI G '8nge. says in his recent Cir.
cular on How TO Extend the Order"
In that document MIR. Jones takes &C,
casion to say:
What the farmers needs now is,
not more physical labor, but more
thought. The farmer who expects to
Keep to the front must do SO by the
power Of kno Hledge-cultured brain,
not muscle. l believe the farmer will
succeed best who will spend one,fourth
of ell the hours he devotes to labor to
mental labor and thinking and devils.
ing mis- plans for conducting his busi-
ness. / believe, further, that the
farmer who will spend three or four
hours each week attending some good
grange, and with hia mind quickened
and sharpened by coming in contact
with other minds will, in the course
of the year, make and save more
money than the same man will with
all HE time spent in physical labor,
saying nothing of the pleasures Of life
and our duties to each other as citi-
zens, and the growth of knowledge
gained thereby"
The Grange can do no greater work
than to inculcate such teachings as
qhis. We may urge reforms of any
and all kinds, but in the last analysis
the intelligence of the people is the Rb.
soLute condition precedent, if not to
their edoption, certainly to their
fruition for the use and benefi5 OF
mankind.

TIE report of the Ssau8 Veterinarian
OF Pennsylvania incicates that active
work is being carried on in that State
looking to the control ami elimination
Of animal diseases. The tuherculin
test for cattle has been employed an5
infected cattle killed. Attention ia
called TO the fact that no injuries have
been reported due to the uae Of Cuber
culin a5 a test for tuberculosis. The
Veterinarian says:
Considering the manner in which
the herds TO be tested are selected and
wide distribution OF the work, cover
ing practically all parts Of the State,
it would seem fair TO assume from the
showing that many Of the mCsi thor
oughIy infected herds have been dis
covered and disposed Of, and that the
percentage of tuberculosis among cat
tie at large, is being steadily and rap
idly reduced"
The Importance OF satisfactory dis
postal of care asses of animals affected
with anthrax is insisted upon. Burn
ing is recommended and where this is
not possible, the carcass should be GOV
cred with lime and deeply buried in
some locality where there is no danger
of contsminsting streams. The prem
ises where the animal dies should be
thoroughly disinfected. The germs OF
anthrax remain alive for long time,
injecting the soil of a region and en-
dangering the live stock for a consId
erabie period thereafter.

GIRLS AT AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGES.

That excellent periodical, tho GEE
tIeman Farmer, one of the high-class
farm magazines, says:
The latest experiment in agricultural
education is the admission Of fifty
girls to the farm classes in the College
OF Agriculture st Minneapolis. These
girls are admitted to the college on the
same conditions as boys. Heretofore
there have been special courses only
for girls at the agricultural colleges.
The course OF study at Minneapolis
covers a term of three years and in
cIudes every practical subject needed
for farming, The boys and girls will
work together throughout about two
thirds Of the course, which includes
work in language, mathematics, science,
civics, and considerable OF the teChni-
cal work. But while the boys are
taking carpentry, blacksmithing and
veterinary science, the girls are taking
cooking, laundrying and sewing. Also
while the boys are giving closer a::cC-
tion to some Of the business aspects Of
farming, the girls are giving attention
tosuch subj3ets as household art, home
economy and domestic hygiene.
In speaking about the course the
other day, Prof. 3. W. Brewster, Prir-
cipal of the school, said:
The basis Of the work throughout
the course is scientific. Botany and
physiology are made the foundation
for all Of the technical work in plant
and animal life, chemistry for soil fer
tilization and culture are for cor1-
pounding Of feeding ratione, while
physics enters enters into many Of the
processes Of farming with reference to
animal and vegetable life cultivation
and the use of machinery.
''In the technical lines we emphasize
dairying, poultry, breeding and feed
ing Of animals, veterinary science,
field agriculture, fruit culture and
forestry. Both in our course of study
and in the general handling Of the
school we plan to make both boys and
girls interested in farming, farm life,
the farm house and farm society.
Both boys and girls'learn in ther draw
ing classes how to plan farm buildings
and how to lay out the grounds around
them. We then give considera at
tention to the furnishing Of houses, to
literature, music and social culture.
1.-THE general thought of the whole
course is to make the farm home the
most attractive spot on earth"

o. the question of preserving unfer
mented grape Juice, experiments made
by the Canada Experiment Farms
were widely quoted last year, and some
additional tests made show apparently
that no chemicals are necessary to a
satisfactory preservation Of this egree
able and wholesome adjunct to the
pantry. Experiments were made using
tormalin and salicylic acid, but these
whre not satisfactory. Grape juice,
however, was successfully preserved
when heated for ten minutes al 100 de
gress, with sugar at the rate of two
ounces to each pint OF juice. Juice
without sugar was also successfully
preserved, but was not generally ae
pslatable as that sweetened. One hun
dTed and sixty degrees seems to be the
least safe temperature that may be
used in the preservation of grape juice
The juice may be held at this tempera
ture for Is or 20 minutes without i'm
parting to it any unpleasant boiled
d3VOS.

why does not North Carolina raise
more sheep3" is the very pointed and
pertinent inquiry Of a Michigan cor
respondent. Read his letter and coz
slider the facts to which he refers. The
Progressive Farmer has more than
once called attention to this matter
and we are not surprised to find that
outsiders aye wondering why the farm
ers Of this State do not seize this OF
portunity Of increasing their wealth.
We shall be glad to hear from any of
our people on this subject. We think
"Michigander" should have put greater
emphasis upon the value of rape as
food for sheep. This crop, which is
comparatively new TO North Carolina
farmers, has never failed to give salts
factory results when fed to sheep.

cautious than before in placing re
strictions around the purchase OF sup
plies for the farm.
The Plow Trust is one Of the late st
devices of the monopolists, and it was
conceived in secrecy and born IN the
darkness Of an inner chamber. The
representatives of a large number OF
the leading plow manufacturing firms
in the United States recently held a
meeting in Chicago and perfected a
combination into which it is intended
to take the manufacturers OF all kin ds
OF agricultural implements. This COM
binati0n represents a total capital OF
as, 900 600, but we are in clined TO think
that it is unwise to mention 80 formid-
able an amount Of money, as the fig
uEes are enough to trighten the faint
hearted, "whosoever is fearful and
afraid, like the two and twenty thou

hold upon the people these days that

but there is necessity again to rekindle
the fires that swept across the country
ten years ago and beat back the en-
croachments OF the Jute Trust.
Farmers may not see the dang
ahead, but the fact that the greatest
secrecy was maintained in regard to
the organjz alton of the Plow Trust
ought to arouse them once more from
their lethargy and slothtulness. A
continuance Of their disorganiz9d con
dition will bind them hand and foot,
and the monopoliats can do with them
as they will. Higher prices for every
tool used on the farm may awaken the
farmers of South Carolina, but at pres
ent they are in the condition of the
thousands who went not down with

HOW WAS 1T DONE ?

The trusts are getting nearer TO the
farmers. The monopolists learned ten
years ago that a combination Of the
farmers, a real live organic zation with
a definite purpose in view, meant de
feat for their schemes and aspirations.
The Jute Bagging Trust was the har-
binger of the great combines to enthral
and enslave the farmer, and it's efforts
were directed to crippling and squeez-
ing the farmer of the South, who was
regarded as the easiest prey in sight
They reGkoaed without their host, how
ever, and the splendid organization of
the Farmers Alliance won its spurs
and ignominiously defeated the giant
monopoly. How was it doneG By
standing as one man through an efec-
tive organization of their own against
the insolvent and oppressive demands
of ''OId Jute," as it was called. This
victory of the farmers, by the farmers
and for the farmers taught the monop-
oIists a lesson they have not forgotten,
and it is no wonder that they are more

Secretary Wilson's tours through
tbs country are something Of an inno
vaticr even in such a democratic place
as the United States. In his recent
trip South-through Louisiana and
rexas-the Secretary awakened much
enthusiasm and called forth many
encomluns from representative men
ard the local newspapers, by his prac-
tical remarks and his mingling with
the farmers and men Of those sections
who are looking for the means of most
rapid development OF their States,
through the use Of their natural re
SOURCES. Speaking, Of course, in a
sense for the present administration,
some of the S2cretary's remarks were
particularly gratifying to the people OF
the South What he said to the plant
ers of Louisiana, however, is not only
of vital interest 10 them, but as well to
the farmers Of the United States gen.
orally. Among other things he said
the regiments from the great
Northwest are now in the Orient fight
ing to keep the markets open tor
Southern cotton. That was not an ob
jec5 in sending our armies to the
Philippines, but that will be one of the
results. do not know what the
policy Of the government will be re

Rico. cannot say what Congress will
do. The question rests there. I am
not inclined to believe, no 8ever, that
there will be a Congress in Wash
ington for many days that will de
s5roy the rice, sugar, and tobacco in
dustries of the United States"
Again he said:
"As regards the importion of sugar
from the islands south OF the United
States, the people Of louisiana need
not fear. Sugar, under the present
administration at Washington, will
n ot be admitted free of, or at a duty
that will iDjure the sugar industry OF
the United States Tue government
must not only now look at louisiana,
but at the entire country, for we are
growing beet sugar extensively"
In speaking OK the experiment sta
tions, he said:
"Our experiment stations are doing
q great work for the people. The first
thing l want to do upon entering q
State ia to visit the experiment. station,
can there get more Cx scs information
than I can by spending twice the time
travelling through the State. II the
right man is at the head of the
station be can tell you something
about every thing; and when farm
ers meet up with conditions which
they do not understand, they ought to
go to the experiment stations for help.
You may be sure the help will be forth
coming"
