Facts Valuable to Farmers.

The twelfth report of the M1ssissip,
pi experiment station shows that the
average cost of the feed per COW of the
dairy herd for the year 1898 was s24.4 40
the highest being S27.73 and the lowest
SD 10. The above was based on the
following prices for feedstuffs: Hay,
SO; corn silage, 3d. cotton seed, 1913;
cotton seed meal, SIC; wheat bran, sl6;
and corn apd cob meal, sll.20 per ton.
The pasture was estimated at So for
the year. The average time of milk
ing for this herd was 80 days, with an
average of 4,271 pounds of milk, the
highest being 5,l23 pounds. From this
4,271 pounds of milk was made x12.5
pounds of butter, which sold for 20
cents pound, making the value Of the
butter $3.50, or profit over the feed
for each COW of 5000. The largest
yield of butter from any individual
cow was 1885 pounds, which at 70 cents
was worth S6670. This COW alta. s223O
worth of feedstuffs, considerably less
than the average for the herd. She
made profit above the cost of the
feed of S44,4 40. We hope in the near
future to give the record of the above
herd for the year 1899, which makes a
better showing than does that for the
year 1698.-Southern Farm Gazette.

Deaths Roll Call in Mississippi
for 1900.

During the year just past, the grim
reaper has garnered many ripe sheaves
in Mississippi from among her best
known and most honored men. Like
wise the firesides of the unobtrusive
and humble have been darkened by
bereavement. Enterprises of great
pith and moment have been suddenly
turned awry, and hopes, luminous
with the promise of every fruition,
have been dashed to pieces. Hurredly
surveying the list of the years distin-
guished dead in the State, we find the
following splendid names, and there
are others not included in this hasty
enumeration: During the year three
past grand masters Of Masons have
died, namely, Elk Governor John M.
Stone, John F. Mccormick and Major
William Startling, and one past grand
master high priest, DR.. John X. Nc
Leod. Some of the others are Colonel
William Dunbar Holder, Judge Rob
ert A. Hill, DR.. Writ Johnston, General
N. III. Harris, Colonel W. M. Inge, Dr.
Lea Williamson, Col. W. G. Yerger,
Hon. E. H. Bristow, Sam H. Pryor, j.
T. Mcfarland, c. NJ. Thurmond and
Senator John r. Dinsmore. As the
years roll on, others may rise to take
the places of these, but, unfortunately
some of them dropped no mantles be-
hind them, and the places they have
left vacant will remain vacant forever

AN OLD JACKSON LANDMARK GONE


Mr.. VIM. j. Brown, reputed to be the
oldest male citizen of Jackson, Miss,
died in that city last Saturday of the
infirmities incident to old age. He was
born in Georgia, and came to jackson
in 1875. There be engaged for several
years in the publishing business, and
subsequently in merchandising. He
always did business on a cash basis
and made it a steadfast rule never to
owe any man a dollar. He was man
of marked individuality and independ-
ence, and was one of the most just and
respected men who ever lived in the
States Capitol. Ever since long be-
fore the civil war he had been mem
Der Of the Methodist church, and
Bishop Galloway, who was for many
years his beloved pastor and latterly
his near neighbor, officiated at his fu-
neral on Sunday last, paying eloquent
tribute to his many shining virtues.
A few years ago Mr.. Brown retired
from business, but up to few months
ago was frequently seen on the streets,
looking in good health. He leaves
wife and several sons, among them Mr..
William j. Brown, Jr., deputy clerk of
the supreme court, and l.. p. Brown,
the widely known Methodist layman
and loyal Prohibitionist of Meridian,
Miss. He also leaves two married
daughters Henry M. Swami, of
Texas, and Mrs. John 7. Buck, of Jack
son. To all of the bereaved and sor-
rowing ones, the editor of The LEAD
Err, who, from earliest boyhood, has
known this splendid old man, ex-
tends his heartfelt sympathy and con-
dolence.

I'VE have entered upon this work in

thing to have an endowment for our
Colleges, Mission Boards, and such
things. But we prefer, in the orphan

dependent upon God for supplies OF

better than the promises of man.

The murder of young James Glib
bons, a Tulane medical student of
New Orleans, is deplorable instance
of depravity. On his way home in the
evening, he was suddenly commanded
to hold up his hands; thinking it was
joke he failed to do so and was shot,
dying the following day. He testified
that his assailants were young boys.
Gibbons was a nephew of Cardinal
Gibbons and a son of a prominent
merchant of the Crescent City. No
clue to the murderers. Perhaps they
were from among the number who
viewed the CHASTITY remains of Chan
ming Barnes, the train robber and
criminal. and thus received their first
impetus to crime.

Two legal executions took place in
Mississippi last Saturday. William
McCulloch, white man, was hanged
at Woodville for the murder of man
named Cole, and Will Kirby, negro,
was hanged at Vicksburg for the muir
der of Isaiah Johnson. The governor
had refused to commute sentences in
both cases. A little more legal hang
ing and less lynching would go long
way toward increasing the respect of
all classes of our people for the law.

He came to this country from Prussia
in 1913 and had aristocratic family con,

died here just one year ago, and after
supper last night he went to his room
and asked not to be disturbed. The
time being the anniversary of his wife's
death, bereavement which has
weighed heavily upon his mind, is
thought to have been the immediate
cause of selfdestruction. The funer

EDUCABLE CHILDREN or MIS-
.SISSJPPI.

The total number of educable chill
dreu, as shown in the last assessment,
is $50, 900. The corresponding figures for
1896 are 552, 495. The number of white
school children shown by the last emu
meration is 236, 49s, and the number of
colored 346,402. The corresponding
figures four years ago were: Whites
226,651, colored 325,s44. The increase
of both white and black children for
1900 is 3O,405, or. as has been shown
above, 81 per cent.
The increase of white school chill
dren is 9,S47, and of colored D,55S.
The percentage of increase of the
former is, therefore, 4.34, and of the
latter $50 The excess of the increase
of colored over white school children
is lO,7l1. 1t will be observed that the
percentage of increase for the negro
population is much larger than that of
the white The chief increase in the
negro educable list occurs, naturally,
in the delta counties. Bolivar shows
in round numbers an increase of about
1000, Coahoma $500, De Soto 1000, Is
saquena l,4OO, Leflore 1900, Sharkey
1900, Sunfiower 1900, Tallahatchie
1000, Yazoo 1900. The increase of
white children varies in the different
counties, only in one or two cases 60
ing over 1000. Jones county has an
increase of 1,21S, and this probably is
the greatest white increase. Benton
actually shows decrease of about 200,
and Issaquena also dropped from 2lS
white pupils to 156. Choctaw shows
an increase of about 800, Acorn 800,
Covington 1000, Harrison 100, Lee 500,
Perry 500, Pike 800, Prentiss 600, Sun
flower 400, Tishomingo $50, Wayne 400.

distr ibution will be Sill.
