usual. and the promoters expect the events
tc be pulled of on time next Friday night
Over $1,000 was taken in for tickets to-

to date. If the application for an in
junction is refused on Thursday morning
tho promoters expect orders to roll in that
day and on Friday.
While there has been very uuch talk
ebout postponing the contest, no action
la; been taken in that direction whatever
emo none will be taken before Thursday

day and tonight about meetings of the
Saengerfest athletic directors for the pur-
pose OF postponing the contest. Interviews
with these directors show that there was
no regular meeting OF the board to-day
and that there viii be none until Thurs.

they could do nothing in advance of
the decision OF Judge Hollister. This de-

to what will be done after that decision

South Africa is a country of immense
distances, and it is interesting, for
the purpose of realizing its area, to
recall the great extent of the railway
systems. In the Cape Colony the
open mileage of the Cape Government
railways is about 1000 miles, with
800 miles under construction, and $50
miles of privately owned lines. In
Natal there are upward of 600 miles
open, and short extensions, totalling
sixty miles, on the north and south
coasts, and between Dundee and Vry-
held. under construction. In the
Transvaal Colony there are 500 miles
open to traffic and 200 miles under
construction, exclusive of the Wee
reeniging-Rand line. The Orange
River Colony possesses about 400
miles OF open mileage, and about 100
miles under construction. Rhodesia,
although only q decade old, already
possesses about 1000 miles of open
railway, and its three main sections
under construction-the Bulnwayo-
Zambesi, MISUNDERSTANDING and
Buluwayo-Tuli-aggregate about 800
miles. Altogether the open mileage
in South Africa amounts 10 upward OF
$500 miles, with at least 1000 miles
under construction. The figures are
exclusive of the projected extensions
for which funds have not yet been pro-
yided.-Indian Engineering.

Manure should be considered as n
of the crops, and its quality should be
maintained more than the quantity,
as bulk may add nothing to its value.
In many respects the anu crop is
the most important of all, for the rea-
son that to a considerable extent the
Yields of the other crops are more or
less dependent upon the manure, so
that in securing a large quantity of
IL the farmer is thereby aiding
very materially in increasing the yields
OF the others. Profitable farming
must be on a foundation, and the best
foundation is manure, for it not only
influences the yield but the quality of
the products of the farm. AS the bet
ter quality of products enhances the
price, the aim should always be to ex-
eel in quality. The fault with many
who accumulate a large manure heap
is that they rely too much on the
quantity. The more concentrated the
plant food the lower the cost of
spreading in proportion to the benefit
derived; hence quality should be
maintained by not allowing of loss
from rains or by overheating of the
reap.

Now that rural free delivery is no
longer regarded as an experiment but
has been established as "A permanent
enterprise, it is time for the Postofice
Department to take up the question
of increased compensation for the car
riers. The pay Of this class of en-
ployes is now $500 a year, for which
the carrier must provide a horse and
wagon. The daily service Except
Sundays is a twenty-mile drive, which
occupies an average of six consecu-
tive hours. Whatever may be the de-
clsion as to the amount of the pay
there is no reason why the monthly
check should not be sent promptly. 1t
has become the custom of the Gov
eminent to remain a full month IN

Mrs. i. NJ. Smith, in Farmers Voice:
I'VE read in the papers of the quail
as an insect destroyer, but no one
notes the value of the turkey in that
capacity. 1t would be profitable 20
most farmers in these days of myriads
of insect pests to inclose their farms
with good wire fence, so that they
could keep the turkeys at home, and
then breed a flock a year, the size Of
which should correspond to the size
of the farms. On a farm of eighty
acres a flock of forty or fifty can be
raised with very little expense until
the insects are gone in the fall. From
that time on feed all the corn they will
eat until selling time, and the clear
profit will be double that on each
pound of hog flesh sold.
eve let our turkey hens raise the
little ones, as she knows their needs
and nature better than a chicken hen
does. The turkey hen takes them off
to the fields. where they convert
worms. crickets, grasshoppers, etc.
into flesh, which sells for cash al the
farmers door,"

A submarine Dwelling place.

According to a London newspaper a

Senator Daniel, of Virginia. lives in
very modest style in Washington. he
cannot afford to spend much money
because everything he gets goes TO-
ward the payment Of his father 5
debts. Daniel has spent thirty years
paying off these debts, and it VIII
probably be a life work. His father
was Judge William Daniel, of Lynch
burg. He was considered well-to-do'
but when he died it was found that
his fortune had been swept away IN
the panic of 1878, and that his liabiii-
ties were more than 100000 in e1-
cess of the assets. Although Senator
Daniel could have %repudiated these
debts, he chose to assume them. Ihat
was nearly thirty years ago, and all
that time Senator Daniel has been
paying off the debts with interest.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Milk will make a pig grow II corn
will fatten it.
Do not use the milk of cows too
soon after calving.
There is no lroft in raising a crop
of lice on your animals.
Dried blood and meat will make
your hens lay more eggs.
Bran and oatmeal with clover al
ways makes a good ration.
Your grass crop needs manure just
as much as any other crop.
Don't forget that the pigs absolutely
REQUIRE at last some green food.
LESS soil and more culture is the
motto that farmers ought to adopt.
Soils hat are unfit for cultivation
can be used to advantage for poultry.
Try to have your animals adapted to
the kind of business you are carrying
on.
A farmer, above every one else,
should make sure that he is up to the
times.
The hog that stands fair and square
upon his feet should always be chosen
for a breeder.
If you don't want competition to
hurt you, produce an article that is
above the average.
A dozen sheep kept on an ordinary
sized farm should cost the owner next
to nothing for food.
Farmers who a few years ago
abandoned sheep are again taking
them back on their farms.
The value of manure depends en-
what 1t is made from. Not every
farmer appears to realize this.
Sheep-raising should never die out,
for these animals are the only ones
that both feed andSlothe the human
race.

Justice Goodrich, of the New York

How long will the germ of hog
cholera live? This is a question that
Is troubling a good many people, for
on its answer hinges not only the
safety of herds that are yet to be, per-
haps a year hence, but the places of
herds now affected by hog cholera.
The Farmers Review answers the
question by saying that it is the be-
lief of some of the best breeders that
the germs remain vigorous for at
least two years after the pens once
infected have been emptied. Cases
are reported where fresh hogs have
been brought into styes that had been
empty nearly two years and where
the hogs came down with cholera
within a few days of entrance.
