Ants Indicate Good Tobacco Soil.
From the New York Press.
In a certain section OF North Carolina has
been grown for years a tobacco unexceIled
by any produced In Cuba. Now a similar
soil has been found in South Carolina and
all other crops in that region are to be re-
tired in favor Of the weed. The discovery
was made by means OF the ordinary little
red ant to whom the sluggard was in
structed to go. If the ant hills-those sau-
cer-like Notifications OF earth at the top
OF the holes-are made OF yellow clay,
brought up from the subson you are on
good tobacco land. II they are made OF
red or brown or black earth you need not
plant tobacco there. All over the south
farmers are examining ant hills for this
magic yellow clay.

more in the market, and it improves the
farm equally as much from the stand
point of the family at home there. Every.
body viii admit probably that there ia
room Tor Improvement on most farms
II this state in the matter of
the home fruit garden. 1t is to help
along this sort of Improvement that the
vermont experiment station has issued
a bulletin giving brief and simple di-
rections such as will he understood by
any farmer. This bulletin can be had
oy applying to the experiment station at
Burlirgto
One matter which we notice that will
be OF special interest Is the list of fruits
recommended by Professor Waugh for
planting in the home fruit gardens Of
Vermont. We extract this list. though
we have not space to comment on it, ex-
cept to say that it ought to be of value
to those who do not know what varieties
are best to plant.
For the warmer parts of the state the
Following apples are recommended
Early Harvest, Primate, Porter. Olden-
burg, Lowell, Gravenstein. Fameuse.
Mcintosh, King, Spitzenburgh, Spy,
Rhode Island Greening, Baldwin. Arctic.
Golden Russell, Hubbardston, Seek-no-
further, Bellehower, Tolman. For the
colder parts Of the state the following
apples are preferred: Yellow Trans
parent. Red Astrschan. Oldenburg.
Iongfield, Wealthy, Fameuse. Mcintosh.
Scott Winter, Pewaukee, Arctic, Wage
ner. Among pears these varieties are
favorably mentioned: Vermont Beauty.
Flemish Beauty, Beurre d'Anjou Winter
Nelis. Onondaga, Tyson, Lawrence.
Sheldon. The most promising plums
are said to be Burbank, Lombard.
Abundance, Bavay, Chabot, Pond,
Golden Drop, Grand Duke, Widgoose
and Wayland. These, however. are not
recommended for the colder towns Of
Vermont. The best cherries are Morello.
Montmorency, Brusseler Braun. Bessars-
bian and Early Richmond. Grapes can
be grown by planting Moore Early
Worden, Meyer. Brighton, Wyoming or
Green Mountain. Various sorts of
blackberries, raspberries, goose berries,
currants and strawberries are also recon-
mended. Those who really want infor-
nation had better send for the original

There's something about the little
black dress that touches a man III very
tender spot. He pats the little one on
the head, puts some pennies in her hand,
swallows hard and then-starts out to
make his own children fatherless. There
is no doubt that many a man is taken
from his family by neglect of simple
precautions which would preserve his
health. Disease generally begins nova
days in stomach trouble" because the
meals are hasty and the food not di-
gested. From that beginning come dis

Entertainment at Hotels.

One remarkable sign of the times in
England is the breaking up of the old
idea that to entertain, save in ones own
home. was a social crime. Nowadays the
rage for dining and giving parties in the
big hotels of London has become so great
that 1t is impossible to get a dinner table
at any OF the fashionable places without
engaging it days beforehand.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. : The strictly
professional limits of the trading on the
stock exchange was well illustrated by
the almost complete obliteration of the
mornings advance in the movement to
take profits after the appearance of the
bank statement. This exhibit was in
itself favorable one, as were all the
other incidents of the day. and it con-
formed closely to the preliminary esti-
mates on which the buying had been
based
The selling to take profits was re-
sponsible for the advance in prices and
back to the starting point. The activity
in Sugar certificates continued, the price
rising an extreme points against the
shorts, whose covering demand helped on
the advance.
The bears quickly detected the realiz-
ing after the bank statement and forced
Sugar down Az points. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Tobacco showed close SYM
point or over. A decline of is in New
York Central showed special pressure
against that stock. Otherwise gains had
been fractional, and the reaction did not
exceed them There was some selling
for London account, as prices rose above
the London parity.
A fractional recovery in London dis
count rates and Jump OF three pfennigs
in the sterling exchange rate at Berlin
were without explanation
The bank statement fully accounts for
the increased disposition of New York
bankers to place time loans at present
rates and their temperance as buyers
of commercial paper. The decline in
money rates is also bringing renewed de-
mand for railroad bonds from some of
the great insurance companies.
