DAIRYING IN GEORGIA.

There viii shortly be established at Ten
nile, on the line of the Central Railroad,
a creamery similar TO the one already IN
successful operation at Griffin. Both
merchants and farmers are interested in
the enterprise and there is every reason
to believe that it will be successful from
the beginning as the Griffin creamery has
been.
There is ready-made market for good
butter. Georgia does not produce the one
fifth part of the butter she consumes. An
nually hundreds of thousands of dollars
are sent TO New York, Illinois and other
butter states that by all means ought 10
be kept at home. If it were the case that
we could not produce as good butter as the
other states, then there would be some
good reason for paying a heavy annual
tribute to our butter-making neighbors.
But it is easily within our power TO pro-
duce just as fine an article as they can
and at a cost which would enable us not
only TO supply our own wants, but TO en-
ter into competition with them in supply
ing other and less favored sections.
We have the lands the water and the
climate to make dairy farming successful
and profitable; and not only dairy farming,
but stock raising for the markets There
are thousands of acres of first rate land in
all sections of the state that are now idle
but which might be devoted to cattle with
goods results. Throughout the state it is
possible to raise each year from two to
three crops of feed for cattle-peas corn,
oats, grass, or some other product
well known to the farming population; be-
sides which during nine months of the
year, at least there is green grazing in
the pastures and canebrakes.
All that is needed, in addition to what
we have already, to make dairying sue
cessful is an improved breed of cattle. The
native stock, which has not had the bene-
fit of selection and proper care, will not do
for the purpose. But improved cattle are
plentiful and comparatively cheap; and
by the addition of fine blood native herd
may be brought up to high grade within a
few years A few days ago we quoted an
Illinois man at present in Northern Flor
ida as saying that there were between the
Chattahoochee and Pensacola thousands
of acres of land that might be made as
fine cattle ranges as there are in the
world. And there are, throughout both
Georgia and Florida, many acres that
could be made among the best and most
profitable dairy farms in the world. The
interest that is being taken in dairying at
Griffin and Tennille, and elsewhere in
Middle Georgia, is very gratifying, and we
hope to see it spread to other sections of
the state. If we would give more atten-
ton to the production of beef and butter
and less to cotton, we should be much bet
ter off.

How the Doctor Got There.

The other day a country physician re-
ceived a call to go from his place into a
lumber camp in the far Brassua region
and it was such a call as a doctor cannot
well refuse, says the Lewiston Journal. So
he went to West Cove on MOosehead with
a big coat and wearing leggins and shoe
packs, as the low moccasins are called
A lumberman was there and this man
had made arrangements to carry the doc
tor up as far as West Outlet on a hand
car on the Canadian Pacific Road. They
had to stop once and unload the hand car
on to their backs in a gully so that
freight train could go past.
Above West Outlet certain portion of
the lake surface was free of snow and
the doctor and the woodsman guide strap
ped on their skates and started. There
were numerous wrinkles" huge bullying
riffs in the ice where the moving of the
mighty surface had met and made ruin.
When they came to one of these wrinkles
the Woodsman went ahead and prodded
and poked until he found a place where
they cou d cross.
1t is possible that more men have been
drowned in the waters of Moosehead by
carelessness in crossing wrinkles than by
any other cause
By the time they got to the mouth of
Moose river the doctor was obliged to own
to his sturdy companion that he was fair
tuCkered. The man had a Moose Sled there
in the bushes. He had left it there when
he had. come out after the doctor He
piled the medicine man on with his case,
wrapped him in blankets and set away
along the tote road. There was. no team
out for there was much uncertainty as to
when the doctor would be able to get
along.
When he could he walked. The rest of
the time he rode. The tough little man
of the woods seemed in no wise weared.
He told the doctor that it was easy
enough to make those kind of trips when
one was toughened to it,
In the camp was one of the bosses who
had been caught in a snub line and who
had had most of the flesh on the calf of
his leg rasped off by the cruel cable.
The doctor did what he could for the
sufferer. Before he finished his labors
there a messenger came from camp ten
miles above They had learned that a
physician was in the section and they
wanted him Ten men were down with
grip and colds and two had pneumonia.
So the doctor went up to that camp
There was nothing else to do. He says
that if he had refused he guesses they
would have loaded him on a sled willy
nilly and would have taken him along. He
came out after six days in the woods.

THE WAR COLLEGE PLAN.

Gen. William Ludlow, who has been APP
pointed by the Secretary of War president
of the board OF three officers 10 formulate
plans for the proposed war college, gave
an interesting review of the scope Of the
new institution in an interview a few days
ago. Il is not proposed that the war col
lege shah interfere in any manner with
the institutions OF military instruction al
ready es tabl.shed, of which there are four,
but that il shall exercise general SUI
pervision over each and all of them and
thus bring them into closer touch with
each other. The four schools of The serv-
ice at present lin commission" are, of
course, the military academy at West
Point. The Engineers School at Willetts
Point. the Heavy Artillery School at For,
Monroe, and the Light Artillery School
al Fort Leavenworth. The supervision of
The war college viii also extend 10 all of
those state institutions TO which the gov
eminent assigns army officers for the pur-
pose of imparting military intruction.
A special function of the war college
will be to study all problems that would
be presented by war between this country
and any other country. A hypothetical
case of war between the United states and
a South American country, or a European
country, or a combination of several coun-
tries, would be taken as a text. The
strength of The enemy, in men, guns and
resources, would be calculated upon all
information available Where and how
the enemy would probably strike would be
considered, and then a plan of defense
would be carefully worked out And, in
opposition, plans of campaign against 9TH
er countries, in which we should take the
offensive, would be carefully calculated
and reduced to working plans. Thus, in
The event of war, the college would be
most valuable adjunct 10 the war depart
ment This idea has been carried TO
high state of perfection in Germany. II
is said, indeed that Germany has pre-
pared and pigeonholed for future reference
complete plans for war with every coun-
try on the face of the earth.
Another function of the war college is
proposed TO be a supervision of the ma
tional guard, with the object in view Of

Many of it's weaknesses were made plain
during The war with Spain. II is desired
that these shall be removed, and it is be-
leved that the faculty of the proposed col
lege would be able to formulate the best
plans for removing them.

The Washington correspondence of the

dividuals. Such law would afford the
greatest sort OF a soft snap for and give

be better fpom a financial point of view
than gold mine or a pension attorney

that official bonds shall be guaranteed by

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Dem.) says:
"A new and interesting point has been
raised in opposition to the proposed Por-
to Rican tariff Any tax on goods import
ed into Porto Rico from the United States
would be contrary to the constitutional
limitation on the powers of Congress for
bidding the levy of duties on exports from
any state of the Union. The inhibition is
unqualified and absolute and is as fol-
lows: mo tax or duty shall be laid on
articles exported from any state" The
Porto Rican tariff bill now before Con-
greSs proposes that the very thing here
forbidden shall be done; its purpose is to
lay a duty amounting to % per cent. of
the DingleY tariff rates on articles eX-
ported from any state to Porto Rico. Even
If the constitutional procurement in ia
vor of free trade between the states could
be evaded by regarding Porto Rico as out
side the Union Congress could not dodge
this prohibition against the laying of
duties on exports from the states.
'"The only escape from this dilemma
would lie in permitting the islanders to
make their own customs laws. as they
ought to be allowed to do If Porto Rico
is TO be treated as a colony or protector
ate lying outside of our Union"
The Birmingham News (Dem.) says:
'"The latest break in the Populist ranks,
which forecasts the early and final disso-
luton of the organization offers an ex-
cellent opportunity for the Democrats to
sever all connection with them. To do so
will undoubtedly strengthen the Demo-
cracy in those states where 1t has lost so
much influence since 1t began to seek new
and strange alliances in the sparsely set
tied states of the West"
The Columbia Is. CO State (Dem) says:
Tom Reed expresses it thus: oh. this is
only the beginning OF it. The idea of MAX
ing our newly acquired brethren down in
Porto Rico three-fourths citizens is, /
must say, original. / don't think IL will
work 'Three-fourths citizens is good.
The ex-Czars advent into the field of af-
ter-dinner orators has not dimmed his
powers of sarcasm
The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem)
says; There is no telling what might
have happened il Clark had not spent that
$4,000 to purify Montana's politics The
Legislature might have even sent a man
to the Senate suspected Of securing his
seat by bribery"
