SKUNK FARMS DO NOT Pay.
sho1Kn BY an 0mcial Report on the
Subject 10 the Secretary
of Agriculture.

A newspaper story Of the profits
made BY raising skunks for their skins
IS giving officials Of the agricultural
department no end Of trouble. II first
bobbed up about a year ago. II set
forth that the agricultural depart
ment had been studying skunk culture,
ana had found that the beasts were
more profitable than gold mine. AS
a result Of the story the department
has received many letters Of inquiry,
says a Washington report
n. S, Palmer. assistant chief Of the
biologicpi SURVEY, wants to correct
this misapprehension. In a report 70
Secretary Wilson he says:
"AIisled BY the statements about
the rapid increase Of skunks and the
high prices paid for their skins. many
persons seriously considered the ey-.
pertinent Of starting skunk farms.
For several years a list has been kept
oi stch fnrms located ia various parts
pf the country. but 50 far as can be
learned most OF them have been aban-
doned.
Raising fur-bearing animals for
profit is not pew idea. The industry.
however, has apparently never adj
vanced beyond the experimental
stage, except in the case Of the farms
for raising the arctic or blue fox, es-
tablished on certain islands Of the
coast of Alaska
Minks and slunks breed rapidly in
captivity. but the low price Of skins
make the profits rather small Last
season the highest market price for
prime black skunk skins from the
northern states averaged abont si.45
each. but white skins sold as low as IS
10 20 cents apiece. SKINS that have
much white or which are obtained
from The. southern states usually
bring less Than a dollar each. a price
THAT leaves little margin FOR profit
after paying the expenses Of raising
the animal ia captivity

Turkish student people began to think
that it was the augury of a brighter lot
for Turkish women. The Berlin cor
respondent of the Sun, however, tele-
graphs that the clever young woman is
Mary Williams Montgomery, q years
old, who was born in Turkey of Ameri-
can parentage. The hopes that even
one fair Turk had thoroughly enamel
pated herself are thus dashed, and the
hopes that her good example would be
followed by other are stifled by mea-
sures decreed by the Sultan this week,
These measures are that no Turkish
children shall be allowed to attend for
eign schools; no household shall en-
ploy foreign goVernesses or teachers,
and no Turkish woman shall be seen in
public with Christian companions.
Turkish women are forbidden to row IN
boats or to remain in boats after dark.
Girls are forbidden to wear sun bon
net or other head dress, and must re-
turn to their small, turban-like caps.
Many high officials have declared that
they will not pay attention to the orders
which the police have been instructed
to see are carried out. Special inspec-
tors are being appointed to see if any
foreign gOvernesses are still in the har-
ems,

says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia,

days and gave him no relief, CO dis
charged him. I went over to see him
the next morning. He said his bowels
were in terrible fix. that they had

almost bloody fluX. I asked him II he
had tried Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera

Wealthy American Spinster Teaches
Paris Restaurant Men Lesson.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-A cable to the
World from Paris says: Miss Elizabeth
Van Duzer, a wealthy spinster, came to
Paris from Portland Me-, three weeks
ago, bound for Luchon. She intended to
remain in Paris only TWEEN -y-four hours,
but considering herself Overcharged in
a swell restaurant she had mistakenly
entered she decided to remain as long
as necessary to make the robbers" dis
gorge.
Her case was called this morning
The bill for two ladies-Miss Van DuZer
and her ompanion-amounted to SlS.
The Judge reduced the amount one
third, as being manifestly outrageous
One item was $3.50 for a melon. The
restaurant proprietor explained that
ii was customary to charge for a whole
melon, however little was eaten. Three
French volunteer witnesses testified
that for a melon the charge to them
was only 81. Thereupon the Judge de-
liVered a severe lecture on the "hideOus
practice of robbing foreigners" He re-
quired the proprietor to partly reim-
burse the complainant and to pay the
cost of the trial.
Miss Van Duzer says now she will
sue for $4,000 damages on account of
having been delayed here.

Will HOLn HIS CROP.
Mr. BIB Whitaker Says the Crop is Short ar d
That Prices Will Go Up.

Eek Senator Whitaker, one of Wakes
best farmers was in Raleigh yesterday.
Asked about the cotton crop he said:
Last year up to this time | ginned
250 bales. So far this year we have
ginned about 80 bales. The gin house
tells the story of the crop. The crop is a
little later this year. We have larger
territory this season, but do not think
we will gin over $50 or 275 bales of cot
ton this season as against 453 for the en-
tire season last year. The crop in my
neighborhood will be about half of an
average crop and l think the cotton in
my neighborhood is better than an av
crage-
Il have not sold any cotton or cotton
seed either yet. / believe the price OF
both will go up when the shortness OF
the crop is generally known.
