exceedingly hot suns, but Will certain

withstanding.
There are four acres devoted to
fruit trees alone. l'ccans, apples,
peaches and grapes ; two mulberry
plantations and two excellent pastures,
where the cattle, sheep and hogs keep
in excellent condition from the late
spring to the early fall, and there are
about thirty head of horses, mules and
colts twenty-scvcu bead of cattle,
sixty sheep and eighty swine, besides
what are owned by the tenants, who
raise the meat for their family use and
have enough of milk and butter to do
them. They raise besides their own
and every house has some fruit trees
and grape vines appropriated to it.
Cotton four o: five feet high has
been made to take the place of cotton
flom nine inches to one foot, and d,
v aler sobbod forest has been changed
to fruitful fields. A plantation con
sidered comparatively worthless has
become the most valuable of its area in
the counties Of Marlboro and Marion
both famous for noble plantations.
This is my opinion, and it is the iudg-
ment of Mr.. f. NJ Lidc, who has
managed for three OF the most success
full planters in Marlboro County, where
he was born, and he knows every foot
OF! his county, and man whose ludg-
ment cannot be doubted. Besides it's
record as s!;otchcd above is sufficient
evidence. The long tcnurcs of the
tenants, their prospects, and their love
for their homes and the Chancellor
speak in no uncertain tones Of theil
own worth, the value of their farms
and the nobility of the proprietor

how all tns was done the Chancellor
emphasized the necessity of retaining
on the land all that grew on 1t except
the grain and lint, liberal use of fcrti.

say, for this is hardly half told tale

tests OF liquid air for blasting, begun

at one of the largest factories for cx

compound is formed by adding some
carbonaccous substance, and many dil-

some OF them proving very dangerous
on account of high inilammability and
TOO sudden det0nation. Good results
have been lately obtained with couol
parts parallin and charcoal, the filled

having the liquid poured into the wrap

method would be to take tank of

men deposit in il a wire basket of car

In nearly all cases the sooner the
plowmg FOR fall wheat is commenced
after the harvest work is finished, the
better. The weather is usually hot
and dry, and the longer the stubble is
unplowcd the harder the worl; will be
on the men and the teams.
Ii will save time to have two good
shares at least with each plow, and TO
keep them sharp, otherwise the work
will be much harder on The men and
teams.
While deep, thorough blowing is al
ways the best, it is hardly advisable to
deepen the plOwing too much AT once.
If the ground has always bccu plowcd
shallow heretofore, two or three inches
deeper is rs much as should be done at
one time. Next year two or thre,
inches more of subsOil can be turned
up; but If too much of the suhsol is

not be satisfactory While there may be

in an unavailable condition and will
need the action of sun, rain and frost
To make it available.

NO TRUSTS IN ENGLAND.

Cyrus &. Adams says in Aiuslccs
Magazine for September:
"Therc are no trusts in the United
Kingdom, partly because Great Britain
and Ireland are free trade nation,
and, for reasons which Will he men.
toned, trusts do not find congcnial soil
in Tree trade countries. France and
Central Europe, where population is
dense, industrial activities are hirhlv
organized, and competition is fierce,
are regions where trusts existed before
America knew them, and where they
are glowing in number and influence
every year.
"All lands in which trusts are thriv-
ing are high tariff countries. The
effect OF the tariff is, in one way, to
favor trusts; the success Of trade com
blnatlon depends upon its ability to
suppress or greatly restrain competition
in its particular line. If it. cannot do
this ii is flat failure. 1t is obviously
much easier to suppress or diminish
competition IN single district or
country than in the whole world. 1t
is much easier to make a trade COM
binalion between producers in one
country than in all countries; and if
high tariff keeps out the competition
of other lands so that the trust is not
exposed to assaults from all over the
world, the tariff favors the trust to
that extent.
"This is an advantage that the
United States, Germany and France
have over the United Kingdom i'm the
matter of trusts. It England holds
her home market and her foreign trade
in cotton goods, for example, il is not
because formal combinations have been
made to make her cottOns the best and
cheapest the would can buy, but because
her supremacy in these manufactures
is as yet unshaken IN spite of all her
rivals have done to deepen and widen
the channels between their own mills
and every market. Though there are
no Trusts in the United Kingdom, as
the word is understood among us, il
does not follow that there are not
sometimes informal agreements and
understandings among buBincss in
tercsts which increase their power To
meet competition; and sometimes there
are complete amalgamations of very
large enterprises, like that of the Coats
company in thread manufacture, or of
the Armstrong and Whitworth cngin-
eerlng business, and the results may
be somewhat the same as those CT IA
great combination in the United States
or Germany. But the trust idea has
really made no headway III the United
Kingdom. 1t was tried when the
Salt Union was formed to control all
the salt interests Of Great Britain, but
the experiment was failure. Busi
ness habits and ideas do not favor
trusts, and the well known conservatism
OF the people tends to bar out so pro-
nounccd an innovation. There is no
legislation against trusts. The law
merely makes provision, as in other
countries, against restraint of trade or
traffic; but modern Britain has never
yet found it necessary on this account
to declare contracts null and void.n

A GREAT COOPERATIVE sue,
C'IISS.

FROM the time that, The Grange was
started, more than u quarter of a cen.
tury ago, the subject Of cooperation
has been thought of, written about and
to II greater or less extent tried by
farmers, but seldom with much success.
1t Is pleasant to know however, that
where The efforts have been made ON
strictly business plans, they have been
very successful and very beneficial.
Probably the most notable example of
this is the Grange store at Olathc,
Kansas.
Iwenty-thrcc years ago this enter.
PRISE was started with only $500 capi.
tai Today that company has pald up
capital ot SllS 5000, cash surplus of
S2T 900, and owns handsome brick
building three stories high that is llSX
l2O feet in dimensions. There are also
eight branch stores in the same coun-
", each carrying stock worth SS ,OOO, ,
ami each owning its own building.
The history OF this enterprise is very
interesting and II ~ powerful tcst:-

The prlhclplc OF cooperation, as well
rs to the Tact that I'LL that is needed IN
enterprises of this kind is that thc in
tcrcstcd parties viii stick 10 their pur-
pose and be true to themselves and io
each other IN working il out.

The modern practice of the forcs try
schools OF France and Germany is
stated by MIR. John Simpson to be the
chccklng of the lateral growth of tree
trunks by closely surrounding them
with smaller trees. These arc the adj
vantaScs claimed: The general theory
OF the system is that thick planting at
the outset and dense culture throughout
are the first essentials in the production
OF good timber that thick planting
leads to the early formation of the over
head canopy, promotes growth in
height, and protects tkc soil, prcscrv-
ing its fertility, and keeping it more
UNIFORM in temperature and moisture
than where more exposed; that density,
or crowding, causes early struggle for
existence, in which the trees while
young lose their lower branches, be-
coming free from knots and more
cylindrical in Stems; ami that the Weld
of timber to the acre is greater than bv
any other system. The European for
estcrS consider that oak timber is at IFS
best when the tree IS $50 years old, and
that elm, ash and beech reach maturity
IN about l25 yearsl
There have been many attempts TO
produce artificial cotton. In the neigh
borhood of Reichenbcrg, IN Bohemia,
process is said to have been invented
for making artificial cotton from the
wood of the fir tree. 1t appears that the
wood is reduced to thin shavinos.
which are placed in washing appa-
ratus, exposed to the influence Of steam
for ten hours. They are then sub
jected to strong preparation of sodium
lyc, and are heated under great pres
sure for 3G hours. The wood is now
changed to pure cellulosc, some castor
oil, caffeine and gclatinc are added.
The substance is then put into an
apparatus and made into threads, which
are then rcelcd.
The German plan of protecting large
shafts by a covering of vulcanized
rubber is finding favor in England,
where IL is expected to extend rapidly.

Kansas will this year yield over $1GO |

EUROPEANS LIKE OUR CORN.-A
citizen of llagcrstOwn who has been

trouble To look up while there the
American Corn Kitchen, and discover
ed in the old colorcd woman presiding
over the corncakc division resident
Of his own town. The corn. cakes were
baked in his own town also, and he
found them Just is delicious in Paris
as he had ever .ound them down ON
the old farm in Washington County.
The purpose of the Corn Kitchen is to
educate Europeans in the value Of corn
meal and the products of corn general
ly as IA comcsliblc. In this connection
the idea was conceived that this pur-
pose could be most ellcctually perform
cd by Offering visitors samples of old
fashioned Maryland corn bread and
corn cakes. The result has been that
Europeans visiting tins section of the
exposition have been immediately won
over to the corn-mcal idea. The tlaky
corn-cakcs baked on hot griddle,
with generous portion of fresh butter
and iugful of syrup on the side, have
called forth all sorts of laudat0ry COM
mcnts; but when it came to Maryland
corn ponc, even the crowned heads
among the visitors were bowed low i'm
reverence of an art that could convert
dry meal into such n tempting bit for
the palate. The Maryland corn-cakc
and corn pone and the colorcd cook
from Washington County appear to
have had united career of triumph at
