 Memphis has received upwards of 10000 bales of cotton in excess of the number received at corresponding date last year. This is not due to the fact that there is larger crop. by any means. but to the fact that the weather has been proptious, for gathering whereas last year it was very inclem- ent. The excess of receipts is liable to depress the price though not material ly. because it is generally known and not disputed that the crop is very short

Northern.Grown Corn.

We are not prepared to assert that
yellow corn Is more valuable for feed
ing purposes than white corn, but we
believe that Northern yellow corn Is
better than Southern white corn Of the
same years harvest. 1t may be because
Of more thorough ripening, but we
think the fact has been proven both by
analysis and by feeding tests. This has
been used as an argument to persuade
Northern farmers to grow their own
corn, which we think they can afford to
do, even II 1t is not better than South
ern, IL the farmer has light warm land,
easily cultivated, and plenty Of help to
work 1t at a fair rate Of wages. OF
course the gardener near large city
can grow crops more profitable, and he
could not afford to grow field corn on
land that Is assessed at a valuation of
$1,000 or $4,000 per acre, nor to employ
labor at 81 a day to work 1t. To pay
such taxes and labor cost he needs eth
er two or three crops a year from his
land, or crop that will yield $500 or
more per acre.-American Cultivator.

The plan here given has been found
well adapted to the use of winter-brood-
Ing hens. 1t consists Of partly under
ground basement. over which double
sloping roof is placed with glass on the
south side. By protecting the lower
part of the house, which is built up Of
stone concrete-or II of wood, the walls
are doubled and the sash doubled, with
an air space Of four inches between,
artificial heat will not be needed, except
perhaps for a few of the coolest days
and nights In the winter. For these,
sufficient warmth may be secured by
means Of an oil stove or painful of red
hot wood or coal seton the floor. The
shutters shown on the front will make
good protection during stormy wealth
er when the winds are blowing cold. In
the front is a small entrance door which
is kept closed when not In use, and the
main door Is on the further end oppo-
site the ventilator In the front gable.
The house faces the south and the lower
part is five feet deep from the level of

Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith. In his annual report, deyotes more
space TO, the abuses in, second class mail
matter than, any other one subject The
most urgent need OF the postal service,
he declares, Is the rectifcation of the
enormous wrongs which have grown up
in the peryersiop and abuse Of the priyi-
lege accorded by law, to. that class of mail
matteg.s This reform was paramount to
all sOthersasy ,...@. 40
There are" he says, ''many improve
ments and advances waiting development
and application; there are opportunities
for speedier transmission and delivery
there are fields for broadening the scope
Of the mail service and bringing II closer
home to the people: there are possibili-
ties Of reduced postage; but above and
beyond all of these measures of progress
which experience and intelligence are
working out, Is the redemption Of the spe-
cial concession which Congress granted
for distinct and justifiable object from
the fungus growths and the fragrant evils
that have fastened upon it.
For this costly abuse, which drags on
the department and weighs down the SER
vice, trammels its power and means Of
effective advancement in every direction,
it involves waste of $4,000, QUO or up
ward year. The postal deficit for the
current year is $6,610,776. But for this
wrongful application of the second-class
rate, instead of a deficit there would be
clear surplus of many millions.
Statistics of the different classes of
matter carried in the past year are quot
ed in the report, from which an estimate
is made that one-half the matter mailed
at second-class rates Q76,371 ,G13 pounds)
is improperly classified, and should justly
be paid for at third-class rates. These
figures, says the report, show:
1. That more than one-fourth Of the
entire volume of weight of matter car
ried through the mails IS rated, and pays
as second-class matter, when under the
spirit and intent Of the law it ought to be
rated and to pay as third-class matter.
2. That while this wrongly classed mat
ter amounts to more than one-quarter of
the whole volume of mail transmitted, it
furnishes only one fifty-ffth part of the
postal revenue.
3. That the expense of transportation
being reckoned at cents a pound, the
mere carrying of this matter costs $14,-
los, 100, while the revenue from it was
only 81, 763,516, involving loss to the
Government of S12,344,613.
'These statements convey their own
mora" the report continues. 1T is a
gross and manifest wrong that particu-
lar and limited group of private interests,
using the mail solely for their own bust
ness ends, and with no public object, di-
rect or incidental, should first succeed in
eluding the plain purpose of the law, and
should then and thus carry on their mail
transactions, not at their own expense,
but the expense of others. IL there is to
be a favored class, let it embrace all the
people,"

Value of EnsiIage.

Ensilage should not cost the farmer
over 81 a ton, and fifty pounds. a day is
large ration for COW. This is forty
rations per ton, at 21a cents per ration,
and hence will provideoCfor one COW
forty days. There is no food that can
be produced at lower cost. The en-
silage Is not of itself complete food,
as the best results are derived; when
grain and hay are also allowed; but 1t
cheapens the cost of the whole and pro-
vides a succulent food in winter, when
there is change from grass to the reg

There ought to be a society for the
prevention Of cruel and abusive use Of
farming tools and machinery. When
we see moving machines and reapers
sheltered In winter under apple trees,
plows and, harrows In fence corners,
and other tools just where the owner
left them when he used them last, we
feel indignant. says the American Gull
tivator. We know that 1t helps to make
trade good for the manufacturer, and
gives employment to many men who
must supply new tools In place Of those
rusted and broken, but we know that
before the new ones are bought many
horse will work harder on these ma
chimes than he would have needed to IL
they had been properly cared for, and
men and boys must work harder as well
and do less effective work. Some tools
we know are not sheltered because the
owner has not roof enough to cover all
that he owns, but In more cases 1t is but
the result Of carelessness. This Is one
Of the leaks on the farm that prevent
the stream Of prosperity from filling
the farmers pockets and building up his
bank account Try to have them all
housed before winter, and before spring
comes have them overhauled and
cleaned, iron work oiled, wood painted
and every part in working order to be-
gin with the next season.
