ure From the pillow Cincinnatus was
called to the helm of state at time of
imminent peril, and throughouGShe days

times Of the empire orators, statesmen
and poets cultivated fields, gardens and

and poems about fields, fruits, flowers

In the old time days before the civil
war some of our most successful farm
ers were retired merchants and eminent
lawyers and statesmen. 1t seemed in
those days to be the ambition of men to
acquire money in mercantile pursuits
and in the learned professions that they
might have money with which to buy
land, and spend the evening of life in
peaceful retirement on a well stocked
and well cultivated farm. They had
not the advantage of the improved I'm.

qtaar Cane.

Increased I'M erest is being aroused in
the culture of sugar cane. AS our vast
timber lands become denuded Of their
magnificent forests there looms up an
important question as to what industry
will take the place of our great lumber
mills and turpentine stills. AS the
lands are cleared of timber, they must
be converted into good farms, and 1t is
very essential to know for what crops
they are best adapted.
Those who have given this subject
careful attention have been thorough
~ convinced that the sugar cane indus
try of Georgia can be, and should be,
greatly increased. The sugar mill will
accomplish the desired end
In 1890 the United States paid foreign
countries about $l95, 000,o 900 for sugar
imported for domestic consumption.
1t took the proceeds of nearly half the
cotton exported to pay for this sugar.
There is then not the least danger of an
overproduction of sugar and syrup.
Captain E. G. Purse of Savannah says
that our common field com can also be
used for the production of sugar, and
that it would be valuable auxiliary to
the sugar cane by giving to the sugar
mills work all during the summer when
they would otherwise be idle. Sugar
refneries and increased production OF
sugar cane will do much toward secur.
ing permanent prosperity to South
Georgia. State Agricultural Depart.

DEAR DocToR MCCkNDLEss-1a accord
you, with pleasure, the permission to
publish my analysis of the Georgia
wheats In any way you may see fit
In regard to the statement previously
made, In some of our bulletins, that the
southern wheats were the poorest in the
United States, desire to say this state
ment had reference entirely to the con-
tents Of nitrogen and gluten in such
wheats. Experience ana research have
shown that the longer wheat grows
the more tendency is shown to develop
starch at the expense of gluten.
1t Is well known that the spring
wheats, which mature in three or four
months, contain larger relative quaint
ties Of gluten than the winter wheats
which grow seven or eight months. The
analyses which l have made Of the
Georgia wheats certainly show that
there are localities In Georgia where the
gluten and nitrogen contents of the
wheat, which I presume is winter wheat,
compare favorably with similar wheati
| grown much further north.
Therefore the statement previously
made should be modified as indicated
above and should not be made general Of
| all localities in the Southern states.
You are also at liberty to use this
statement in the publication of the ana
lyses Sincerely,
TetW. WILEY. Chemist.

there is no other Territory like IL IN

it needs protection not only from men

from men who were born under its

shown whenever a crisis has arisen.

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
TIE sting the Dollars.

Whenever fresh batch of dollars is
turned out at the mint samples are
forwarded to the treasury at Washing
ton where they are put through a
very curious process, which the Phila-
delphia Post describes. Each dollar is
first weighed on exquisitely delicate
scales, to make sure that it is heavy
enough, and yet not too heavy. Then
il is passed between two steel rollers
again and again until it is sfiattened
out and transformed into thin strip
of silver--a sort of ribbon-a foot ana
a half in length. Then it is put be-
meath a little machine provided with
several puches. by which hundreds OF
tiny disks are punched out of the met
al strip Now the object of this per-
Torrance is to obtain samples of met
al from all portions of the dollar, in
asmuch as it is conceivable that one
portion might be richer than another.
The little disks are shuffled together
and a few of them, taken at random
from the lot, are subjected to assay
Thus the fineness of the material OF
the dollar is ascertained with abso-
lutte accuracy. and, the weight having
been already determined, the value and
correctness of that coin are perfectly
known. The sample pieces having been
found correct, it is inferred that the
entire batch of dollars is all right.

A RISING CLOUD.

When the American troops left Pc
king the British and Japanese soldiers
gave them a formal send-off, but the
dispa tches add that the Germans We're
conspicuous by their absence" Despite
the smooth words of the diplomats,
such occurrences are usual wherever
German and American soldiers and
sailors meet and they have been so
ever since the Brazilian emeute in 1893,
when the United States, contrary to the
German policy, threw its influence on
the side of the republic. Nothing Sc
rious happened, however. until 1885,
when Admiral Diederichs showed his
hostility to Admiral Dewey, and but for
the latter's stern attitude and the hint
of Captain Chichester of II. NJ. s. Ter
rible that, in the event of German inter
ference he should take orders from the
American flagship, there might have
been the beginning of a great war.
The situation as it stands does not
grow out of an American dislike of
Germans or Germany, for there is none;
but of imperialist German dislike Of
the United States as a commercial rival
and of spirit of defiance against the
Monroe doctrine. Thele are also rea-
sons which relate to the Kaiser's natur-
al dislike of republics and TO the effect
which this particular republic has had
upon the domestic politics of the Ger
man empire by absorbing and lettering
the estate of so many millions of Ger
man subjects. All these things irritate
the Kaiser and account, not only for
the attitude towards Americans of Ger
man military and naval men but for the
is-iE III 1y,
parted to the naval preparations of the
empire.
German commercial interests say that
unless the United States can be crush
cd It will control the trade of the world;
German e-pansionists say that IN
Jess the empire can lay plans, without
American hindrance, for ventures in
South America, its destiny will be to
move in small area of world-infiuence;
the Kaiser knows that the spectacle of
q free government becoming the strong
est and richest power must wreck the
prestige of all Kings and make trouble
among their subjects. Many great
war has had its beginning in smaller in
certives than these.
There is no doubt that the United
States Government, seeing what is i'm
pending, is getting ready for it as fast
as it can without causing alarm. Never
since the Civil War has money been
spent so prodigally on ships and guns
and forts. America has even forgotten
her traditional dread of large stand
ing army. For twenty years she had
let the navy rot: now she is taxing the
capacity Of all her shipyards to build
an offensive and defensive fleet OF the
highest class. When the summons
comes for war she WI be ready to take
care of herself and her enemies in the
old accustomed way.
