A Most Sinrular Thing.

It is u singular fact. but none the
less true, that people who are sick or
out OF health and are taking treatment
from doctors, do not know exactly what
is the matter with them. One doctor
says one thing and another doctor says
something else. Meanwhile they 60

Simply that such persons have not con-
suited the right doctor, have not con-

Gen. Wheeler Left Out.

A dispatch from Washington says
the president has practically made up
the list of the general officers to be re-
tanned in the volunteer branch Of the
service. The basis of all the calcula-
tions is an army of IS, 900 men, for the
president has so far insisted that he
will not call for volunteers in addition
to that number unless an emergency
should arise. The reorganization act
limits the number of major generals to
be appointed to one for each 1900
men and the brigadier generals to one
foe every 1000 men in actual service.
On this basis, as there are already three
major generals in the army in the per-
sons of Gen. Miles, Gen. Brooke and
Gen. Merritt, there is room for but two
more. To fill these two places the
president has selected Gen. Shafter and
Gen. Otis, now in command at Manila.
1t is safe to say that the list Of briga-
diers to be appointed will inclnae the
following names: Gen. Wood at Santa
go; Gen. Wilson at Ma:auzas; Gen.
Lee in the province Of HAuana; Gen.
Davis now on duty with the court of in
quiry into the beef supplies; Gen. Lud-
low in command of Habana city; Gen.
Lawton nearing Manila; Gen. Near
thur at Manila; Gen. Chaffee, and Gen.
Frank.

HENS AND THEIR FRUIT.
Value of Chickens and Eggs Produced
Last Year Was Fully s2sO,O0OoO0.

P. H. Sprague, a Chicago poultry
dealer, read paper before the farmers
institute ,at Princeton Wednesday, in
which he stated that the production Of
chickens in the United States last year
reached 1850, COO, 600 and Of eggs l3O,-
900, 900, 600. The total value of chick
ems and eggs produced was $500, ,OOO,-
600. Accepting these figures as ap-
proximately correct, we must conclude
that the hen plays an important part IN
our American life. But We will better
understand the relative importance of
that part when we como to make some
comparisons.
The value of our tcoaeco crop has
rarely been as much as S43, ,OOO.0OO.
The value of our potato crop is less than
$50, 900, ,000 on an average. The value
of our barley crop is not often as much
as $50, O,G00,0 600. An oat crop worth
$500, 100000 is unusual. Our annual
output Of pig iron has rarely exceeded
Sl30, ,000,0 ,0G0 in value. Coal, by far
the most valuable of our mineral pro-
ducts, gives a total output Of some
5000, 600, 900.
Raw cotton, wheat, hay and corn are
the only four products of our country
that exceed in value hens and hens
eggs, according to the above estimate,
and cotton sometimes follows the latter
in order of importance, the crop having
exceeded 1920, 900, 900 in value only
three times and the highest having been
not quite $4,000, 900. The wheat
clop has ranged in value from S213,-
600, 900 to 1913, 600, 600 and the corn
crop from about $40, 100000 to s783,-
100000 The average value Of the hay
crop may be stated at about 1890, OOO,-
600. From this comparison the import
ance of the ben, especially in our ag-
ricultural economy, will be appreciated:
If Mr. Sprague stated the value OF
the egg product separately the fact is
not reported. 1t would be interesting
to know the value of the egg output.
Probably it exceeds the value Of any
farm product except corn, wheat, hay,
cotton and oats, may even exceed oats.
The hen is by no means to be despised.

q Constant Guest.

Did you ever observe that the man.
ners Of even the best hammered families
are little improved by the presence OF
company? Do you not realize in your
own case that you are less apt to give
short answers, to be contentious, to
speak sharply, to give way to selfish 81
lence, to be moody, or unreasonable, or
disagreeable, when there is a guest in
your household? Especially is this not
SO if the stranger is one Of dignifed and
noble bearing, Of high position and
character, of sweet aud winning man
ner, aud very especially if it is one
whom you love, and who loves you:
Now this thought seems to suggest a
possibility of your wearing these ''eom-
pany manpers' always, for always you
have, or may have, such a guest with
you-Oae who is more majestic in hear
ing than the kings Of the earth, yet
more tender and loving than mother.
One who is crowned with glory and
honor" yet bears Himself toward YOU
with matchless tenderness one whom
surely you must love, since He so loved
you as to give His life for you. There
can be no doubt of His willingness to
abide with you, for He Himself has
promised, ':Lo! am with you always,
even to the end Of the world.

THE COTTON MOVEMENT.
What Secretary Hester, Of New Or
leans, Says About Il.

Secretary Hester. Of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange, says the cotton
movement for the six months of the
season since September |. to the close
of February inclusive, shows that com
pared with the crop movement last
year, Texas, including the Indian ter
ritory, has brought inro sight this sea-
son in round figures 425, 1852 bales more
while other Gulf States, which include
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ten
nessee, Missouri; and Oklahoma have
marketed 476, 1872 less, and the crop of
the Atlantic States, which includes
North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama and Virginia, shows
a decrease of 1856, ,696. In other words
all of the States outside Of Texas and
Indian territory have decreased 593,-
1873 bales, against an increase for Texas
and the Indian territory of 425, 1852,
leaving the net decrease in the total Of
the crop marketed Of l677, 727.
Mr.. Hester shows the amount
brought into sight by groups Of States
for the six months of this season as
follows: Texas and Indian territory 3, :
1874 bales, an increase over same
time last year of 425, 1872 bales. Other
Gulf States 2, 707 $40, decrease under
last year of 476, 1872; Atlantic States g.
5223, 23S, sdecrease under last year of
llG 696 Total crop in sight at close
of February 9.4l0, ,541, decrease un-
der last year of l67 726, and an increase
over year before last Of l,79S, 545.
In commenting on the above state
ment the Columbia State says: Secre=
tary Hester's cotton report for the first
and heaviest six months Of the cotton
year shows that while the Atlantic
States have marketed 116, 600 bales less
than in the same period Of the preced-
ing year and the Gulf States 476, 900
bales less, Texas and Indian territory
have marketed 425,000 bales more.
Mr.. R. H. Edmunds of the Manufac-
turers' Record mentioned to US the
other day that in the Indian Territory
he had been assured that 1000, 600
bales would be raised there within FIVE
years and in Texas that the crop Of that
State would soon reach 5000, 600. The
rich black prairies of the trans-Missis
sippi region, where not pound Of fer
tilize1s is used, can make profit on
cotton at 1-2 cents and will increase
heir production, rapidly even on that
basis, keeping the price down perma-
nently. We will be fools if We attempt
to compete with them. The temporary
rise in price usual at this season should
delude no planter in South Carolina
into dependence on cotton again. The
price next fall will be made beyond the
Mississippi and it will be tos low for
our profit.

The Round Bale.

r. II. Edmunds. editor of the Manu-
facturers Record, says in regard to his
recent Southern trip: Il have had
occasion to study carefully the actual
workings Of the round bale system Of
cotton handling, which is being intro
duced by Mr.. Searles, and | am more
than ever convinced that while it means
the development of probably the big
gest industrial enterprise since the
Standard Oil was brought into exist
ence. it also mems saving of $780,
100000 to $40, 100000 year to the
South. The middlemen, the cotton
factors and compress people, who now
take toll out of every bale Of cotton, do
not like it, but the farmers do; for un-
der it they are getting dollar or two
more a bale for their Gotten than If put
up in the old square bale.

HOW TO MAKE COTTON PAY.
Some Good Advice From the Georgia
Agricultural Department.

In the cotton bulletin issued from the
Georgia State experiment station, Col.
Redding, the director devotes chap
ter to summing up some Of the results
Of experiments on the farm duriug bis
nine years administration He says
it is possible to make the mistake Of
planting too much corn or oats as well
as too much cotton, and whether far
mer is producing too much cotton de-
pends on whether he is producing it at
profit and not on the number Of bales
he makes. If a farmer is producing it
at cost less than the market price,
and can sell at profit, he is not pro-
ducing too much, it does not matter
how many bales he makes. If on the
contrary he is making fifty bales at a
loss, he is making too much co, ton for
his good.
When farmer finds his crop is
costing him more or as, much as he can
sell it for, then one Of two things are
necessary. He must either raise the
price or lower the cost Of production
The former is beyond his control and
he had better address himself to the
latter. In the opinion Of Director Red
dingsif he will select his best land, the
best varieties of cotton seed, properly
balanced fertilizers and manures and
adopt the best methods Of cultivation.
the farmer can certainly reduce the cost
of producing his crop. He says:
By these means, farmer may not
make so many bales of cotton as he
has usually done; in fact, he certainly
will not, but the smaller number will
have been produced at less cost per
pound If farmer has been planting
80 acres of cotton to get 30 bales, and
f1ds that these 80 bales have cost him
six cents pound, it would certainly
be better to reduce his area to Is acres
and his output to 10 bales. if by so do
ing he can produce these 10 bales at a
cost of ! or cents per pound. In
the first case there is much work and
worry without any profit; while in the
second case there Is not so much work
and worry, and less than one-third as
many bales; and there is some profit IN
tie latter course.
When our farmers learn that ten
bales of cotton, with a profit Of $40 a
bale are much better than thirty bales
at no profit, they will be on the road to
reform. Tney will not only make
money. but they willseve in ,aoor, time
and acreage, and have land upon which
to make other crops for food. We
quote again from Director Redding:
The very same principle applies to every
kind of crop. 1t is certainly not sound
policy to expend $5 per acre in prepar'
ing, planting, cultivating and harvest
ing crop Of s or 10 bushels OF corn.
The true policy is to concentrate labor,
fertilizers and skill, on smaller areas OF
better soil, for such crops as require
the more expensive cultivation, and
devote larger area to small grain
Especially oats and rye), cow peas, pas
ture, etc,-crops which cost little labor
and are essentially improvers OF the
soil. Augusta Chronicle.

THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT.
The Jews Still Emigrating to the City
of Jerusalem.

In Il recent report to the state de-
partmeut Mr.. Ravndal, United States
consul at Beirut, Syria, refers to the
Zionist movement which was started
two years ago and for while was the
subject of much discussion. This
movement aimed at the restoration Of
the Jewish nation in Palestine with
Jerusalem as it's capital 1t looks to-
ward the realization Of a dream which
plous Jews have cherished for many
centuries. Zionism scem"d to subside
as quickly as it sprang up, but it has
recently had 4 revival. Ibis is due
mainl, tn a Zionist congress which was
huid ut Basel. Switzerland last Sep, p,em-
Der. and in some degree to the recent
visit Of the German emperor 10 Pales-
tine. Consul Ravndal gives some in
teresting facts concerning the Jews in
that country. Out Of total popula-
ton of 200. 900. about 10, 900 are Jews,
against only II, coo twenty years ago.
In Jerusalem alone there are %, 900
Jews, half Of whom have gone there
from Europe and America in the last
twelve or fifteen years. 1t is evident
that the tendency of Jews to return to
their own land is growing. Whether
Zicnism shall grow or weaken it seems
certain that the Jewish population of
Palestine Will be increased very largely.
1t is strange that this tendency has set
in at time when the Jews in almost
every country enjoy larger degree Of
civil and religious liberty than evel be-
fore.
1t is estimated that there are 6,O00,-
600 of those remarkable people in the
world, the great majority Of them IN
Europe. But they are found wherever
civilization has gone and wherever they
are their Influence is felt.

Must Wear Clothes.

The United States government, or at
least some Of its agencies, have now en-
gagged in that most difficult Of all re-
forms, dress reform. In San Juan,
Porto Rico an edict has gone forth
that the little children shall no longer
run naked in the streets. It will re-
quire cotton goods to clothe the little
ones, and the mills of the south are
very close to Porto Rico. This may
mean new business for them
