Apropos Of Philippine trade, Consul
General Moseley writes from SiDga,
pore, an adjacent port, that the atten
ton OF our large pack rs of bacon,
hama, and lard should be directed to
the hjga prices Of the product Of the
hog 10 that market. Bacon retails at
IS 5cznts silver a pound; ham from 55
to $ cents pound; and lard at As
cents

Diirying is a branch Of farming
which is being neglected by North
Carolina farmers IEisa paying branch,
but one in which there is q nearer ap
proach to manufacturing than almost
any other, and which calls for strict
business management, and this must
here be coupled with some practical
knowledge of science as related to

but OF that branch Of botany known as
bscteriology. The proper handling OF

The best method of raising calves
on skim milk is a matter Of interest to
every farmer. In some tests made at
the Iowa Station it was found that the
best and most economical gains were
made on corn meal and skim milk
Linseed meal also gave lower and more
expensive gains and was in every way
less satisfactory than either oatmeal or
corn meal and faxseed. Is may be
that the results Of these experiments
are contrary to prevailing opinion con-
cerning the relative value Of these
feeds, but it ia not unnatural or In any
way unreasonable that the carbona
ceous grains should be more suitable
for feeding with skim milk than q
highly nitrogenous product like lin
seed meal. Skim milk is nitrogenous
itself. Some experiments were made
in Holland to test the effect Of increas-
ing the fat In skim milk for calves or
adding starch. Enough whole milk
was added to skim milk to make the
desired amount Of fat When starcn
was fed it was cooked to a paste in the
skim milk. Aboul 81 per cent. of the
starch was digested, the CO tfi ,ient of
digestibility being as high as in the
case of the adult animal. The addition
OF starch to the ration diminished the
digeslibility of protein somewhat. 1t
was, however, on the whole considered
salts 'actory. When it is possible to
supply skim milk Containing protein)
and the supplemental carbonacaou
material in an inexpensive form, the
profitable feeding of calves is assured.
In the experiments cited above car
bohy drates either in form Of starch or
cereal grains) we're successfully com
bined with skim milk and in this way
the animal was supplied with an ebun'
dance OF protein and energy and made
good growth.

The Indiana Experiment sends out
this summary of the results obtained
IN their growing experiments thus
far:
1. Planting corn early in May gives
best results on the Indiana Experiment
Station farm as q rule.
2. The greatest average yields of
both ears and stalks have been obtained
when the stalks stood twelve to four
teen inches apart.
8 Thick planting has reduced the
size OF the ears and the per cent. of
grain,
4. Thick planting has in dry seasons
produced the heaviest yield of stalks
and the Iightest yield of ears.
8. The yields of corn from cultiva.
tion, one, two and three inches deep,
have been about equal.
6. Cultivation four inches deep has
considerably reduced the yield Of corn.
z Heavy applications of manure and
tertivilizers have not proved profitable
in continuous corn culture
8. In continuous corn culture the
effect Of a heavy application of fresh
horse manure has not been exhausted
in fifteen years.
9. Cultural implements differing
much in construction and action upon
the soil, have produced nearly the
same yields of corn.
10. OF the several cultural imple-
ments under trial, preference is given
to the spring tooth cultivator for soils
similar to that of the station farm.

Insomnia.

Insomnia is often caused by assum-
ing an incorrect position while at
sleep, and therefore it will be of inter-
est to those who cannot secuse all
they need OF natures sweet restorer"
to know what the learned in things
anatomical consider to be the proper
position OF the body while at rest.
The sleeper should lie on his side, on
the right side if possible, because the
heart then has more room to perform
its work, digestion is continued with
least exertion, and the weight OF the
stomach does not compress the upper
portion OF the intestines. The arms
should lie at the side Of the body and
be kept there. The pillow should be
ouly high enough to cause the head
to lie easy and to be in straight line
with the body.

The country newspaper is an i'm
portant agency in the cultivation OF
public spirit, and however humble 1t
may seem beside the metropolitan
daily it has place in popular educa-
ton which is too little regarded.
While the editor is not often above the
rank of a practical printer there are
many persons in most Of the suburban
towns-clergymeu, lawyers, teachers
and others. who have the leisure and
ability to use the paper as the vehicle
of influence over their fellow-citizens.
The country newspaper is usually
local in its news. and the very people
who might make il fresh and suggest
i've are those who complain most
loudly OF its meagre character. Short
articles pertaining to local interests
are always welcomed in its columns.
and the men and women who most de-
sire to make home life in the country
rich and influential can best do so by
contributing freely to its columns OF
what they have in mind. In some
places this has been done. and the
result in the quickened life OF the
community has been gratifying --Bos-

That last year was record breaker
III mining operations is ahundantly
proven by recent summary published
in a mining journal. 1t gives the
values of SO separate minerals. but
there are over 100 minor ones which
are reported in gross and not under
specific classification. In all save FIVE
of these hundred odd mineral SUBJ
stances an increase in production over
1897 is shown.
The value of the output OF some of
the principal minerals is as follows:
Coal, $2Io, 263 o53; iron, SIiI,s5S,-
a54; gold, so4, 900. 600; copper, s64.-
244,326; petroleum. SAG, a77. 900; sill
yer, S37,32I $50; coke. $4,000, 900;
lead, $Io.4Io 265; zinc, $40, a67,3 o7.
Nearly three fourths Of the total are
included in the enumeration. The
total production for the year was
$50. 1850, o23, as against $3.50, 5Ia,3s5
last year, an increase Of $59.737.76S.
Nearly every mineral OF value is
produced in the United States. This
country produces two thirds OF the
copper OF the world and has practical
control of the market for this metal.
The Latin American markets, which
formerly depended upon England, are
being supplied from our mines. The
pig iron production for the year
II.7I2, oo3 tons-was the largest on
record, being an increase over 81 Of
2I.2 per cent. About 72 per cent oil
the iron output was used in the manu-
facture OF steel.
This showing indicates that the
United States. in minerals as in manu-
features and agricultural products, can
both supply its own needs and COM
pete successfully with the nations OF
the world.

The scientific wonder Of wonders at
the Paris Exposition is to be the great
lunar telescope. which. according TO
those who claim to be experts on
telescope subjects. will bring the eye
so near to the moon. or the moon SO

would like to put it, that the compar.

veniug space and bring the moon
right down to the eye; but it will be a
wonderful accomplishment as it is.
and Rome wasn't built in a day,
either. Sometime in the future.
doubtless. the lunar telescope will be
improved upon. For the next few
years, though. it will be the biggest
thing in the shape of telescope ever
constructed.
The magnifying power Of the great
telescope is to be 5000. The greatest
telescope at present has magnifying
power of only 1000. The object
glasses Of the giant telescope are to be
four feet in diameter, and 1t is to be
1856 feet in length A man beside it
will look like very small and In
significant object. Its great length
will reach high into the air; its upper
glass will be able to carry on flirta-
ton with the clouds; it will take up
as much space as large.sized build

chinery and switched into place by
steam, and, lastly, it will cost nearly
$500. 600.
A million miles will be nothing to
this monster eyeglass. By looking
through it the observer will be able to
distinguish between Municipalities on
the surface OF the moon as plainly as
he can the rocks and foliage on the
side of a distant hin. II there be any
living thing on the moon, this tele-
scope will enable the visitors to the
Paris Exposition to make their long,
distance acquaintance. 1t will be less
trouble than Jules Verne's imaginary
trip to the moon to bring Luna down
to earth.
Though it is to be built primarily
for lunar investigations, the use Of the
great telescope will not be confined to
the study of the features Of the man
in the moon. 1t will be the center
around which will revolve corps of
astronomical experts. The telescope
will be used to search the heavens for
new planets. to bring down to earth
the twinkling stars that former tele-
scopes have not been sufficiently pow
erful to attract from their retirement
in the armament, and to settle scien-
tific squabbles that have been waiting
for the construction Of telescope this
size to furnish final and indisputable
evidence that will substitute fact for
theory.
The visitors will be able to hear
about the lunar wonders at the lee
lures to be delivered by the astrono-
mers at the exposition. and will then
be priviledged to go and see the won
ders for themselves through the great
telescope. 1t is decided by lumi-
nous idea.
