THE CINCINNATI SAILED.
Commander M'Lean Goes TO BARGE
Iona With His Vessel to Pro-
tect American Interests.
CABLE FROM THERE is INTERRUPTED.
Neither the state or Savy Depart
ment Has Received Condemnation
of the Press Dispatches Tcliin G
Of the Pillagine of the American,
Italian and Dutch ConsuIates.

Washington. Aug. 14.-Overnight
fhe navy department received word
that the Cincinnati had sailed. Tues
day. from Puerto Cabelio for BARGE
Iona under the instructions cabled to
Commander Mclean directing either
the Cincinnati or Topeka To proceed
Immediately to that point Comman-
der Mclean. who is the senior officer
present. evidently decided to go him
self and leave the Topeka To protect
American interests at Puerto Cabe-lO.
It i probable that the Cincinnati al
ready has arrived at Barcelona. but
that fact may net be known officially
here for several days. a Minister
Bowen cabled the state department
from Caracas. Wednesday. that the
cable from Caracas To Barcelona
again had been cut by the revolution
lists. On Monday he reported that
this cable had been cut. but pre-
sumablv it had been repaired in the
interim. and his last dispatch indi-
Gates that the connection again has
been lost.

Neither the state nor the navy de-
partment has received confirmation
Of the press dispatches from Port of
Spain. which were conveyed there
from Barcelona by boat, of the extent
Of the fighting II Barcelona. and Of
the report that American. Italian
and Duach consulates had been pill
Iaged. The officials Of the navy de-
partment are confident that Com
mander Mclean. with the Cincinnati,
will be able to take care of Ameri
tan interests there. Owing To the
general disturbed condition of affairs
all along the line Of the Venezuela
coast. and the appeals Of Minister
Bowen fer warships, the question
whether our naval force IN those wa
tiers is sufficient 10 take care Of the
existing situation and 10 meet future
contingencies has been canvassed.

For the present il has been decided
that il Is unnecessary 10 send an adj

Kingston, Island of St. V,l-
cent, Saturday, Sept. 6. The
sights in the Windward district
of this island resulting from the
eruption of the Soufricre vol "a
no Sept. 3, are very interesting. :.
The Rabacca river even now Is a
storm of fire quarter IF mile
or more wide. The greater part
OF the Rabacco is wrapped in.va-
por and there are mimic crtlp,ipn>
everywhere. The river b,i is
continuously throwing up col
umns and dense clouds of steam,
mud and pebbles. The land has
spread farther seaward aud is
changing considerably the APP
pearance of the district from what
it was prior to Sept. 3. This was
probably caused by the eject that
flowed down the slopes filing the
sea about the coast.
Fifty laborers, deceived by the
apparent quietude of the volcano,
were working within the fire zone
on Wednesday at the extreme
north of the island, when they
suddenly saw evidence of an ap-
preaching disturbance of the
mountain: but were unable to
leave the spot before electric
flashes and an out pour of gasses
drove them to the base of the
mountain throughout the terrible
night, while forked lightning
darted in all directions around
them. The men miraculously es-
capped unhurt and arrived at King
fston yesterday. =.

Buy a Few Good sows.

Last summer when everything was
dry and parched and short corn
crop was inevitable farmers sold their
hog crop pretty closely. Many bred
sows went to the stock yards in July
and August. Thousands of farmers
are now without brood sows and will
have no spring crop of pigs, unless
they buy bred sows this winter.
Breeders generally report slow sale
of boars. There are good reasons for
this. There we're few or no sows, and
less use was had for a boar. More
co-operated in the use of
a boar, and the expense of a purchase
was thus obviated.
Those farmers who have short
crop of brood sows should make an
early search for good-bred brood
sows. The supply is about as short
among the breeders as among the
farmers, and sows may later sell for
higher prices than at present. Buy
only those that are registered or ELI
gible to register, and bred to good
boar. If the SOW is reg
istered the pigs can be registered.
This puts you then in q position to
begin the work of a breeder if you
desire to pursue that line of stock
farming. 1t also puts you in position
to sell the best pigs for breeding pur-
poses.
But do not buy with this object
alone in view. The price of corn will
be high until another crop is raised
and the price of pork will be corre-
spondingly high. Those why buy q
few good brood sows and can carry
them through to good pastures and
raise crop of peas or beans, may,
with careful management, reap a
profit from their observation-disclosures

HERE AND THERE.

-Diversification for home corr
sumption is the right thing, but the
specialist secures the biggest prices
for his products.
The successful farmer, gardener
and fruit grower is familiar with the
demand and markets, as well as the
soil and climate.
Quality and quantity of fruit is
now greatly dependent on spraying,
and the amount of knowledge pos
sessed by those doing it.
Study markets and market condi-
tions. 1t requires as much, or more
tact to sell profitable products as to
grow them.
The brood SOW, after her pigs are
few days old, requires good deal
of rich food to keep up her condition
and maintain good flow of milk.
Many products are spoiled in
putting them up for market. Quality
is as important as quantity, and
should be as earnestly sought after
in the products of the farm.
The Hunt county (Texas) farmer
who sold LOO bales of cotton on q
recent advance in price, seems to be
not only good farmer, but good
business man also.
The loss Of cattle from starvat ton
through the drougth-stricken dis.
trict of Texas may not be very great
this winter, but the cost Of feed uae6
to prevent wholesale die-up will b.
enormous.

WATCH THE SMALL CHANGE.
Pennies and Nickels Are Counter
feited More Than Are the
Larger Pieces.

Ibid you ever think how little atten-
ton you pay to the possibility of coun-
terfeits in making changer" asked an
old bank teller of friend, relates the
Chicago Tribune. "And did you ever
think that most of the attention that
is paid to it by the public is so much
waste of effort?''
But it is fact. You never think
when the street car conductor puts
the change from quarter in your
hand that both dimes may be counter
felt. You take one-dollar, two-dollar,
five-dollar and ten-dollar bills, from
anybody in change without ever
thought as to their genuineness. But
il stranger tries to pass $50 bill on
you you begin to get shaky, while $50
or 500 bill is almost impossible to be
rid of in street of small shops.
s.Yet you could hardly hire counter
feiter to try to make and pass bills
above ten dollars in value. 1t stran-
ger should come into your place OF
business and ask change for . $50 bill
it would scare you stiff for fear OF
counterfeit, whereas the chances
would be 999h in 1000 that the bill was
good.
sYou noticed the other day, on the
other hand, that the United States gov
eminent was much concerned over the
one-cent pieces that are
now flooding Chicago. Yet I'll ber yoa

one-cent piece in your ife."

AnRora Goat Commended.

A few words of advice. If you have
a small herd of Angoras on your
farm, they will take care of them
selves and you need not give them
one moments thought from one
months end to another. If you are
going into it on a larger scale you
can rest assured that they will pos
itively live and grow fat and raise
their kids on leaves, weeds and brush
from early spring until the frost kills
everything green. For winter, pro-
vide them with plenty of forage, ac-
cess to water, salt, and a warm,
roomy shed. If you will provide these
things the goats will do the rest
they'll find them and make good use
of them, and would not be afraid
to stand your losses. Get the best
bucks you can afford-whether you
have few does or many. With these
provisions your herd will live, thrive
and increase, and pay you a hand
some percentage on your investment.
AS 1 heard a gentleman say at the
recent goat show: 'It is the only
animal that will pay you for the
privilege of working for you and
boards and clothes himself"
To restate few facts to those who
are as yet uninstructed concerning
the profits of the Angora: ~ He
will clear the land of that which is
useless and put it back in the form
of fertilizer, bringing the grass
and doubling and trebling the value
of the land; (2) his mohair is used
now in many of the mills in the
United States, and they are calling
for more. When we give the proper
attention to breeding in this coun-
try we will produce fiber just as good
as the Turkish; (3) the meat is as
tender and juicy as the best
of mutton, and rapidly growing
in popular favor; a. the worlds
stock of goats is in Turkey, South
Africa and the United States. The
sultan of Turkey has forbidden any
more expectations; there seems to
be many difficulties in getting them
out of South Africa, and there are
only about 100000 in the United
States, where there is room for sew
eral millions.-Cor. Journal of Agri-
culture.

as they should along these lines. We
often get Letters asking us to recon-
mend man to take charge OF a dairy
farm. We can not supply this de-
mand.
We need dairy schools all over the
south. Hundreds of young men and
women, if properly educated, could
find pleasant and profitable employ
ment in this line OF work. And the
work would be preferable in every
way to the stuffy Office work they
are now engaged in. 1t would almost
uniformly lead up to independent
ownership and conduct of business
instead of lifelong clerkship.
Dairying does not require much
capital to begin with. Skill is needed
more than money. The second def
cheney is lack of interest in tho
permanent improvement of our sur
roundings. Dairy farming is pretty
farming. It. cultivates the better and
nobler side of our nature. A nice lit
tie home, dozen cows, a few pigs
and chickens, with health and indie
pendence, can be easily secured by
one trained to care for cows.-Dixie
