STEEL RAIL BUSINESS.

The American Metal Market says:
Nearly. If not quite, all of the larger
railroad companies have finished plac-
ing steel rail orders for 1902 delivery.
and it is now possible to form n rea-
sonably accurate estimate of the
amount OF work that lies ahead of the
manufacturers. An official of one OF
the largest rail producing concerns in
the country said today that every
company in the steel rail pool had
on its books sufficient business TO keep
its plants running at maximum capac
ity for the next ten months. even If
within that time not another order
should be taken. This statement is
concurred in by representatives of other
companies -

a substantial working shaft is now

A. HAMID FELICITATEs HIMSELF

Abdul Hamid. Turkeys sultan,
Sat upon his golden throne:
Sat and read the daily papers.
With a chuckle all his own:
With a grim, sardonic chuckle.
Saying: "Ho, But this is fun.
With my plural wives I'm happy;
They can't get along with one.
Il, by warships daily threatened
Creditors increase my Ills
Yet I'm happy with my harem.
Though it cannot pay my bills.
Other monarchs-singly welded
Worry over small amounts.
Hurl the furniture at wife.
For she won't pay their accounts
Other rulers come to breakfast
With henpecked sort of smirk.
Knowing that they must be humble.
Or they'll have to go to work
l have troubles-many troubles
Creditors won't let me be;
But l have this consolation,
My wives don't dictate to me,
Truly is the head uneasy
That supports the royal crown.
And it gets the chills and fever
If it fears the wifely frown.
Let them pirate about my credit:
Let the warships bluff and grab;
But the palace bossing wife
Never frets your old friend Alb"

Ar Example OF What Our
Land Will Do in the Mo-
laSscS Production.

Capt. a. Farley, the chief
clerk OF the city's government, is
as good at farming as he is in
keeping the records around at
the city hall. He has just finish
ed making up his molasses and
the result is very satisfactory.
He planted about 1000 stalks
of sugar cane. From this he
made IS gallons of molasscs and
saved 4, 500 stalks for seed. The
entire expense of making this
crop cost him $14. so. The mo-
1asscs at 05 cents a gallon, if he
was disposed to sell at all, would
be total Of S22.75. Besides
this he saved $500 stalks, which
had it been made into molaSses
would have been many more gal
Ions. This seed cane another
year will produce twice IS gal
Ions, and plenty of seed cane left
for another year. Or in other
words, another year at the same
ratio the crop in quantity and
value will be worth twice what it
was this year while the expense
of production will not be much
more than tins year.
Mr.. Farley used no fertilizer
on his cane. 1t was the natural
production Of the soil, which, as
has often been stated by the
Progress, is better adapted to
the production Of sugar cane than
any other, even IN the great cane

We have here in South Miss,

We have a climate that mercury,
in his cool deliberations, rarely
ever goes below - degrees above
zero. and in his warm parades
never rises above % degrees,
and the balmy Gulf breeze mel
lows the atmosphere, making the
climate very pleasant in the va
riety Of produces. This country
has almost an endless variety,
ranging from a scmi-tropical to
those indigenous to colder
cline. The following fruits do
exceedingly well: peaches, pears,
grapes and stra :. berries. The
latter, | have seen ripe in Fcbru-
arv, and abundantly in March.
In the vegetable line almost all
kinds rrOIy luXuriantlV with
proper care. Beans, peas, to-
matocs, lettuce, Irish potatoes,
sweet potatoes, and everything
one would care to grow would
with care return golden harry

mate, they can be grown early in
the season so as to get advantage
of the fancy spring prices.

country is still in its infancy.
