A WORD FROM THE BUSINESS MANAGER.

Last week we received three envel-
opes through the mail containing
remittances, with not a solitary
word to show from whom they came.
In the case of one of these the post
office name was so indistinotly stamp
ed, that it was with difficulty that we
could even decide from what office it
came. We have been "blown up" for
not properly orediting many received
in this way, and that too, by per
sons who would fail to name their
p~ostofice, and perhaps fail to give
their own name.
When you write to THE PROGRESS
I'VE FARMER, always name the Office
at which you receive your mail, and
then do not forget to sign your name
plainly.

THE APPALACHIAN FOREST RESERVE.

Washington Cor. Post: Senator
Pritohard to-day introduced two bills
of Importance to North Carolina be-
sides a number of pension bills.
The first bill was for the establish
ment of a forestry reserve. It was
similar TO the bill introduced by him
last Congress, and provides for the
purchase of $500, 900 acres in the
States of North Carolina, Alabama,
Georgia and Tennessee where the
four converge at a cost of SIS, 900, 900.
This plan in the last Congress seemed
UtOpian, but it was favOrably re-
ported by the Committee of Forestry.
During the summer Secretary Will
son, of the Agricultural Department.,
has visited the section and he Is
enthusiastically in favor of it. The
President, while he does not specific
ally favor she this project, does in a
general way favor forest
The general sentiment is much
stronger now than a year ago and
the probabilities are that such a
reserve as Senator Pritohard's bill
provides for will be started this Con-
gress, even if the bill itself does not
become a law, which is by no means
unlikely. The Senator feels greatly
encouraged.
Among other bills Senator Pritch-
ard re-introduced was one TO con-
strue section 4,716 revised statutes
so as to give those who served in the
Confederate army and afterwards
joined the federal army a pension
able status.

FURRY IN SPANISH PEANUTS.

PETERSBURG, Va, Dec 5.-There
was quite a furry in the Spanish
peanut market here to day. The
market opened at IS cents a buShel
and the price steadily advanced until
it had gone TO 72H cents, at which
figure several lots we're sold. The
market closed at 20 cents a bushel.
The furry is said TO have been due
to the fact that the cleaners n short

MEN NEEDED IN ARMY AND NARY

According to the annual report of
Admiral Crown1nshield, the shortage
of naval officers is approaching the
danger point. Within three years
new vessels coming into commission
will require one thousand more
officers, and as the naval academy
turns out but fifty graduates a year,
Il knowledge of higher mathematics
ia not needed to show that extraOr-
binary measures must be taken to
meet the situation. Admiral Crown
inshield recommends that eight hun
dred cadets be sent to Annapolis at
once.
The army as we'll as the navy is
short Of men This is shown in an
appendix to the report of General
Brooke, commanding the department
of the east; seventy officers and
{, ZOO men are required TO operate
the mines in the harbors of the
country, and the officers now being
appointed to the artillery from the
army lack the knowledge of electric
ity necessary in this of the service.
Colonel Story, of the artillery corps,
recommends the organization of a
volunteer reserve, differed by cleo
trical engineers, to meet present re-
qulrements, and the establishment
of an aatilery school of mines to
provide for the future.-Public

CONTINENTAL Oh STOCK FOODS"

Correspondence OF Progressive Farmer.
Do these "stock foods which re-
tail to farmers at from 5000 to $500
per ton pay the farmers in the long
run? If any experiment. has been
made with them, please let me and
the general public know the results.
E. W. B.
Iredell Co, N. @.
AnSWer by DR.. G. W. Burkett, of the
". G. A e NJ. COHege:
There are a great many pre- pared
foods on the market, costing from
three to ten cents per pound, and no
doubt a great deal of money is paid
out for them each year.
Professor Henry refers in his book
"Feeds and Feeding" to Thorey's
Food in England, which has been
used and advertised a great deal
Lawes and GILBERT tested it's effective
ness with sheep and conclude: "The
last column shows that in both of
the comparative experiments more
food was consumed to produce a
given amount Of increase with
Thorley's food than without it. "
Nutriatine was tested by the Vermont
and Maine Stations without any
effect at all. Ali condensed foods of
the better GLASS are made up of fax
seed meal, oil meal and favored with
some kind of aromatic seed.
Vigorous animals need nothing of
this kind to make them healthful /;
and if they are out of condition,
they should have special treatment.
We believe the use of continental
foods is expensive and not TO be
recommended. Prof. Henry suggests
that a good manager of live stock
will have no use for these high
priced continental foods or condi-
tional powders ; a poor manager will
never have fine stock by employing
them.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL ROUTE I'm
-0RsED.

The Isthmian Canal Commission Reports in
Favor Of the Course via al Nicaragua
and Estimates the Cost st S1s9, s64, O62 aud
Six Years as the lime for its Construction,
Exclusive Of Two Years Necessary to Pre-
pare for the Work.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The report
of the isthmian canal commission
was sent to Congress TO day. The
commission, as anticipated several
weeks ago, favor the Nicaragua rOte
and makes an estimate of $189, 864, U62
as the total cost of construction of
the canal through Nicaragua The
estimated cost of the Panama route
is $144, 233, 1853, but the report says 1T
would cost $1O9, 141, 900 to obtain the
Panama concession. The commits
sion valued the work done at $40,
OOO, 900. The report says the Pana
ma route is feasible as a sea level
canal while the Nicaragua route must
be by looks, but Lake Nicaragua will
furnish an inexhAustible supply of
water for the canal. The Nicara
qua route has no natural harbors at
either end, but satisfactory harbors
may be constructed. Harbors al
ready exist at each end of the Panama
route, but considerable work must
be done at the entrance of the har-
Dor on the Atlantic SIDE With ade
quate force and plant the commits
sion estimate that the Nicaragua
| Canal Can be completed in six years,
exclusive of two years for prepare
ton. ION years is estimated to com
plete the Panama Canal. The total
length of the Nicaragua route is
1873 Sc miles and the Panama route
40 O9 miles. The estimated cost of
operating and maintaining the Mica
ragua Canal annually is 81, $50, 600
greater than that of the Panama
| Canal. The estimated time for a
deep draught vessel TO pass through
the Panama Canal is twelve hours
and through Nicaragua Canal SO
hours
The Nicaragua route, the report
says, is more advantageous for com
merce save that originating On the
west coast of South America. For
the Gulf ports the advantage is two
days, and for most of the ports in
the Atlantic and Pacific one day.
The Nicaragua route is said 20 be
better for sailing vessels, on account
of favoring winds. Hygienio oOndi-
tions also favor Nicaragua. The
commission says the United States
should acquire control of a strip of
territory ten miles wide from sea
TO sea to build the canal. The o
sent of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
must be obtained to construct the
canal, but the report says this can
easily be secured.
