WHY NOT OTHER MARKET
HOUSES?

What the Progress wants TO know
is why it is that there are only two,
possibly three, markets in the city
and that these are huddled up in the
city hall building. We know it is
| generally understood that no other
market is allowed TO be opened i'll
any other part Of the city, but if this
is true, why is it so? Has the city a
right to say that no man shall do
business except in building provi-
ded by the city? Suppose the city
should undertake to regulate the lOca
ton of every merchant i'll the city,
would it not be attempting to estab-
lish a precedent never heard of be-
fore? Then why not allow meat mar
ketmen to establish a business
wherever they please so they do not
interfere with ordinances regulating
such matters?
1t may be claimed that the object
of building the mraket house was to
insure the people of better meat, as
/ the city could have an inspector who
would attend to this matter. But
the present building has been used
many years and if the city has ever
had an inspector no one has seen him.
BY being huddled together these mar.
kets do not give US better meats and
certainly not cheaper meats. Besides
a man living at a distance from the
business portion of the city where
the present market is located has to
do without meat for his breakfast or
walk long distance. Take the
family of Mr.. Travis, for instance,
or Mr.. Phillips. They have to send
nearly mile after thier steak which
costs about bit a pound after they
get it. If there was market located
in either of these communities it
would be more convenient, besides
meat would not be so high priced. 1t
would be honest competition and not
n monopoly as it is now.
The Progress has not word deroga-
tory to say of the markets the city
hall. They are neatly kept and has
rs good meats as this section can
afford, but the truth is the city has
taken it upon itself to monopolize the
business and keep ont other market
men who could make an honest living
for their families.

Says the Natchez Bulletin: 1t is
indeed misfortune to Col. Henry TO
ever have allowed himself to become
so clsoely allied with the political
pot hunters around the state capital,
as he has received very little III re-
turn for a man of his standing.
Perhaps our esteemed contemporary,
Col. Henry, views his standing
like certain Irish tunnel laborer,
who warned away visitor from the
"dangerous" place, regarded his life
IF it is dangerous what are you all
doing here, enquired the intruder
"Oh we are paid dollar and a hall
day TO take the risk, - was the reply.
But is Your life worth no more than
that. " he was asked 1T would be
worth a d--n sight less said the
Irishman. If we didn't get it. -

gave good results in all cases, but the
application OF muriate OF potash alone,
OF blood and bone, and 100 bushels OF

Andrew M. Soule says: 1t is evident
that the middle south Is capable OF
maintaining from 100000 to 1000 900
more beef cattle annually on the pres
ent basis Of production than she now
owns; whereas. there are probably be-
tween one and two hundred thousand
hefng fed now. There Is only about 40
Ter cent Of the land cultivated and less
than 20 per cent highly improved.
When rs per cent OF the land is i'm
proved, as In the central west the mid
die south will be able to maintain and
fatten at least two-thirds as many cat
tie as the central west This means
the doubling OF our stock interests or
the maintenance of more than 4,000,-
600 head Of beef animals. Considering
all things, Is 1T not surprising that
such splendid showing is possible in
section OF country comparatively un-
known and wholly unappreciated as
stock country by the stockmen Of
America? The people of the south are
not altogether to blame for the present
status OF the stock business, but they
are at fault for not approaching the
potential stock carrying capacity of
their country. They are alive to this
matter now and they deserve the sin
cere and hearty cooperation of the
stockmen Of America in their endeavor
to redeem wasted birthright. 1t is
evident that the people of the South
must keep their stockers at home and |
feed them there and thus become man
ufacturers OF their raw products. They
can thus build up the soil, they can
save their fertilizer bills, they can util-
lie their food products at home, and
they will get the full potential power
put OF their cotton products.

The most marked variation in the
character of the COW pea is to be
found in the color OF the seed, which
may be Of any of the shades Of black,
white, red. brown, yellow, gray, green
and purple, or they may be speckled
with two or more OF these colors. In
shape they may be round. fat or broad
kidney shaped or flattened at the ends.
The period of ripening required by
different varieties varies from sixty to
more than 200 days, and the same va
rlety will ripen seed in less time from
late than from early planting and in
less time In dry seasons than in sea-
sons Of an abundance of rain, while an
excess of nitrogen in the soil retards
both fruiting and maturity, increasing
the yield nj vine and not infrequently
decreasing the yield OF peas, as COM
pared with less fertile soils.

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER IS
MAnF

The Health Department of New
York has seized a quantity Of so-called
cheap baking powder, which 1t found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low price at which it was
being sold in the department stores.
Samples were taken and the chemist
OF the Health Department reported
the stuff to be IAN alum POWDER"
which analysis showed to be compos-
ed chiefly of alum and pulverized
rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thou
sand pounds were carted to the offal
dock and destroyed. 1t is unsafe to
experiment with these so-called
Cheap" articles Of food. They are
sure to be made from alum. rock, or
other injurious matter. In baking
powders, the high class, cream Of tar
tar brands are the most economical,
because they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

Losing Humu. and Fertility.

Growing wheat continuously on land
depletes the nitrogen and humus in it
In addition to what is taken up by
the crops themselves. Just how this
depletion takes place we do not know,
but 1t does take place to surprising
degree. This fact largely accounts for
the rapid deterioration of lands de-
voted exclusively to wheat growing
and to summer fallow. This latter
practice, though hoary in age, is a
greater waster OF nitrogen and OF hui
mus than Is even wheat growing. At
st. Anthonys Park, Minnesota, a plat
OF ground that was used In the grow
Ing OF wheat continuously for eight
years lost LOO pounds of nitrogen.
or this only 800 pounds was taken up
by the wheat crop. Four times as
much nitrogen was lost by soil and air
as was used by the wheat That
meant loss of 1,400 pounds, which
was more than one-fifth of all the nj
trogen In the soil at the time the wheat
was first grown. What then would be
the result in five times as many years
forty years? The land would GER
tainly become useless for the growing
OF wheat and would reach 4 condition
In which the recovery of its nitrogen
would be extremely difficult. In adj
iition to the loss of nitrogen there
was a yearly loss Of 1000 pounds of
lumus. through chemical action.
