THE STORM GENERALLY.

To get any idea of the extent of the
blizzard one should take map and make
mark from Florida to Canada and from
the Allegheny mountains to the Atlantic
ocean and fair idea Of It's ma gnitude can
be ascertained. 1t was one of the most
widely extended and destructive storms
ever known in the history of this cOun-
try. To US New Englanders who are
used to seeing snow and plenty Of it at
times, it simply meant tying up OF bus
mess and lots of inconvenience for sever
al days, while all through the southern
section of the country it not only meant
the stopping of business and inconven-
fence, but losses Of thousands of dollars
to crops and to many man disaster and
ruin. What the damage to the orange
crop alone will aggregate 1t is impossible
to tell at present, but the indications are
that it will go far into the millions. From
the Carolinas northward over the whole
area, railroad communication was prac-
tically at a standstill from Monday noon
until Tuesday night. Wednesday the
wheels commenced moving again and
most of the roads were recovering from
their severe attack of snow paralysis. In
all the large cities the trolley roads were
tied up and gangs of thousands of men
were employed to clear the tracks. The
present storm has In many respects fair
ly eclipsed the blizZald of 1888. The low
temperature surpassed that of all other
storms on record, while at times the We
locity of the wind was greater than it
was during the memorable 1888 storm.
At any rate it was bad enough, and most
too bad, and everybody seems ready to

Twenty-Five Years Ago,
FROM THE BEE OF FEBRUARY 2, 1878.
EOW THE WIND BLEW !


If Candlemas-day be clear and bright
winter will take another fight" is an old
saying and we should say it had finally
concluded to settle down with US for 3
while, judging from the inclemency OF
the weather for the past few days, and of
the storm Of last Thursday, which was
the first serious snowstorm of the season.
1t was accompanied with very high winds
which did great damage in some places,
and along the coasts it was about the
severest storm ever known. 1t drifted
the snow into high banks along thorough
fares, and taking it entirely off roads
on the hills, and although the fall of
snow was considerable, it will not give
the people much sieighing. Occasionally
the merry jingle of the sleigh bells Ia
heard, but the wheel vehicles are used
more than sleighs.

The Southern Farm Magazine.

The Southern Farm Magazine of
Baltimore for August deals largely with
tho many questions involved in the
changes in agricultural methods now
going on and the interdependence of
agriculture and manufacturing industry.
A practical contribution to the study
Of dairying, to which Southern farmers
are turning their attention. is given in
the paper 10y Prof. A. M. Soule of tho
University of Tennessee on the con-
formation of the dairy COW, while an
other writer from the same State, Col.
j. B. killebrew, writes of the remark
able outlook for the phosphate industry
of that State, upon which is largely de-
pendent the.development of wheat-rais-'
ing in that section Of the South. This
movement will undoubtedly be accele-
rated by the wheat convention held last
month in Macon, Ga, a review OF which
appears in the magazine. Another I'M
portant meeting, that Of the good roads
institute at Charlotte, N. C., is also re-
ers from their support OF institutions
for technical training are set fortl, in a
paper by Mr.. d. A. Tompkins.
Boaz, the pbilOsopbic amateur who
attempted to make a living at farming,
is at present, in this months install
ment of his humorous review of his
life, nearly absorbed in maneuvers
against the plans of his motler-in-law,
the narrative, however, being a vehicle
for entertaining sidelights on farm life.
The editorial and other departments
of the Magazine are full of fresh and
entertaining reading.
The Southern Farm Magazine is pub
lished monthly by the Manufacturers
Record Publishing Co., Baltimore, NJ. D.

At the beginning of this somewhat

doubtless were, with the extreme Stiffness
of same as we'll as the motive sought
be ascribed to me by "Citizens"i in his first
communication. and up to your last issue
stood Janah like will, ears up and shoul-
ders indrawD ready but unwilling TO be
swallowed up by this monster of the
literary seas still, upon unfolding n
copy of your issue of the Goth ult, ]
was agreeabIy surprised to find that
this vicious, hungry whale had turned
into a harmless, playful minnow which,
craved only to heal the wounds
inflicted by those who lacked under
standing and sought to vilely intimi-
date your humble scribe. He claims
that your "erstwhile poethas descended
from his high olympus, etc." and in the
next breath does likewise himself, as
his first communication is signed 'Cit-
izsns," while in the last he drops the
final s signing himself "Citizen," TINS
descending to and representing only
the ordinary man. Well, we are glad
to be in sympathy with the very frank
and versatile writer said to be from
Turkey Creek and while We might
lack consistency in many things, we
respectfully refer the gentleman to the
old but nevertheless true quotation that
people who live in glass houses
shouldn't threw stones"
