GRAZING IN THE SOUTH.
Profit In Catt1c-Rnising in Gcor
gia and Florida.

In recent issue of the Manufactur-
ers' Record Mr. Charles J. Haden Of
Atlanta contrasted the grazing potion
tialities of South Georgia with the
grazing regions Of the West. Tho
Manufacturers Record received lot
tor from leading railroad official max
ing an inquiry as to whether the native
grasses of Georgia and Florida were as
nutritious as those of the West. In
reply to this question Mr.. Haden, who
has given the matter close study,
writes the Manufacturers Record as
follows:
Il am glad that this question has
been raised. / know that in tho West
tho impression prevails that the native
grasses Of Georgia and Florida arc not
nutritious, but this is mistake.
Nutritious is relative term. It is
possible that, pound for pound, the no
tive grass of the Western plains has
moro flesh-producing power than an
equal quantity Of grass of the pine
lands, but there can be no reasonable
doubt that acre for acre the converse
is true. Our Georgia and Florida
grass grows taller and denser.
For sixty years or moro cattle and
sheep have been successfully grown
for market in South Georgia and
Florida without other food at any
time Of the year than the indigenous
grasses. have before me certifl.
cate of j. H. Inman, an intelligent
cattleman of Argyle, Clinch county
Georgia, who states that he has been
IN the cattle business thlrty.flvo years
continuously on moderate scale, and
the cattle will fatten on the range or
the wild grass about nine months in
tho year, and will live on tho range
without other food tho entire winter.
He says, however, that to supplement
with tame grasses 10 very valuable.
have been an owner Of lands in tha
section for many years, and can verify
what Mr.. Inman says.
I" Last week while in Clinch count,
found the cattle were as sleek ant
fat as tho best saw in my journe,
across the plains. The breed Of Souti
Georgia cattle is small so wero tn,
cattle in the early range days Of tn,
West. In the West they were bret
up from G00-pound average anima
to 1OO0.pound average, and the sam'
can be done in the Southeast. Thi
fault is in the grower, not the grass.
If fires are kept out Of the forest
for two consecutive years or more, tn
volume Of grass is very greatly in
creased. When" thus protected thor
appears growth of very valuabl
evergreen shrubs, oxcellont for graz
ing, and, best Of all, the wild oats, tn
finest Of all wild grasses. When th

he found the forests covered in vii
oats. They were destroy cd by nnnut
forest fires, and cannot bo brough

COAL STRIKE CONTINUES

President John Mitchell Has
Refused To Put His Men
Back TO Work At Rooacvc1t'a
Request.
No settlement of the coal strike is
yet in sight. After the failure of his
appeal TO the coal mine presidents and
tho strike leaders, whom he had called
together for conference, President
Roosevelt appealed to President John
Mitchell to send his men back to work
On the torms proposed by the opera
tors, for tho public good. TO comply
with this request would bo TO confess
that the cause of The strikers WAS
weakening, oven if the motive alleged
was TO prevent coal famine.
On Thursday the reply Of Mr.. Mitch
ell to tho President's proposition was
made public and it is as follows:

operators. We feel confident that vnm
must have boon impressed with thn
fairness of our proposition and Tho in.
sincerity of those who maligned us.
Having in mind our experience with
tho coal operators in the past, we have
no reason TO feel any degree of con

thoy have refused to accept the dc
cisiOn Of tribunal created by you ant
inasmuch as there is no law through
which you could enforce the finding o.
the commission you suggest, we re
spcctfully decline to advise our people
to return to work simply upon the
hope that coal operators might be in.
duccd or forced to comply with the
recommendations of your commission.
AS stated above, we believe that we
went moro than half way in our propo-
sition at Washington, and we do not
feel that wo should bo asked TO make
further sacrifice.
We appreciate your solicitu,Ie for
the people of the country, who arc
now and will be subjected to great
suffering and Inconvenience by pro-
Iongation of tho coal strike, and we
eel that tho onus Of this terrible state
ofS alfairs should bo placed upon the

in the vicinity of New-York City, conformed

The plans for the new home Of the Republican
Club have been adopted, and the men who were
instrumental in the movement which has for It's
object new quarters for the organization hope 10
entertain their guests in the new building Wheh
the next Lincoln dinner takes place. This Infor-
nation when it was impaired to the members
at a recent meeting pleased every Republican
who knew how inadequate the present quarters
of the club are and how necessary it is that an
organization like the Republican Club of the city
of New-York should be comfortably housed.
The project has also aroused interest IN he
publican circles outside of this city, and men
who have never seen the present home OF the
organization are anxious that work on the
larger building should 60 forward, in the nope
that the new club may provide what has peeh
needed in New-York for many years-a party
headquarters. In campaign times there are
places where the party leaders and the men
who manage the party battles may be seen, pnt
these places are usually closed as soon as the
election has taken place. AT other times the
Republican party is without official home IN

RECENT COLD WAVES

The month just ended has been unusually
trying for the fruit grower and agriculturist in
the eastern part Of the country Two cold
spells of exceptional severity have been ex-
perienced, one beginning on May and the
other occurring last week. Both of these We're
Injurious to berries pears end plums. Winter
wheat also suffered greatly Almost in the
closing days of May snow was reported from
the upper Hudson and lower Mohawk valleys,
and heavy frOsts from large part of New
York State and New-Engiand. Not once dur
ing the last ten days of April did the mer-
curry go down SO far in the metropolis as it
did last Wednesday The contrast was not
altogether due to last weeks cold, however
The latter part of the previous month was I'M
seasonably hot. According TO the local weather
bureau, the warmth of April % was a greater
departure from established precedent than was
the close approach to freezing on May IS In
deed, the harm done to vegetation by the rig
ors of last months weather was greater than
it otherwise would have been because of the
premature geniality of the month before Had
April been as chilly usual this year fruit
buds would not have been so far advanced
and in such a susceptible condition as they
were, nor would people generally have felt
the recent cold so keenly.
The suggestion has been made that the
change which occurred in the weather imme-
diately after the principal eruption of Mont
Pelee may have been wrought by that out
break. The sequence of dates certainly en-
courages such a supposition. The reaction from
the excessive warmth that had prevailed over
& large part of the United States began within
twenty-four hours after the humiliation of
St Pierre Still, the forces which brought it
about may have been in operation for several
days The first cold wave of last month came
a little too promptly, perhaps, to be attributed
confidently to volcanic disturbances in the
West Indies Besides, ii is not altogether clear
Just how the latter could have produced the
observed result. Local storms in the Wind
ward Islands may well have been related to
the liberation of heat, to electrical manifesto
tons and the terrific bombardment of the
skies, but it is less credible that effects could
have been produced a thousand miles away
Had well defined cyclone been developed in
