New York. June 25-The cotton market opened firm, with prices 70 points higher on eager buying to cover shorts, support from the bulls and foreign de- mand :or the most part founded on con- tinucd dry weather conditions in the southwest, where temperatures, too, were being complained of. What appeared to be a stampede of the bears in Liverpool sent prices there up some AZ points, and this. too. served to strengthen local values. Immediately following the call there was a further rise throughout the list, and for the next half hour prices worked steadily upward with July reach ing BIT and August 48. Light receipts and reports that southern spot markets were f1rmer on increased export demand disturbed the shorts, who were the lead ing buyers throughout tho early bulge. Europe bid for tho fall and early winter months, and the south bought July and August contracts Just when .he market here gave every indication of advancing above of s.5s, reports reached the ring that King Edward was dying. quick drop of I to 8 points followed under gen. eral selling. July sank back to S.6e and August to & 40. Later the news from Lon don took more optimistic turn, and on renewed demand from shorts the whole market rallied several points. In the last hour the market was influenced by ad- ditiGhal reports noting improvement in the British Kings condition by light re- ceipts. large export clearances and good demand for spot cotton. Prices advanced to the top notch of the morning. but eased off in the last five minutes under sales for profits by room longs

MoLAssEs AS CATTLE FOOD:
Horses and Mules Have Thrived on IL II
Louisiana For Two Years.

Molasses has for two years been in
general use in Louisiana for the feed.
ing of horses, mules and all stock, and
probably nine-tenths Of the draught
animals in the sugar district get this
food, either alone or mixed with oats
or corn.
The animals like it, and are kept in
splendid condition by it. Sugar
mules" which are fed on molasses
mainly are worth from twenty to
twenty-five per cent. more than the
mules on cotton plantations, which are
fed generally on cottonseed and cot
tonseed meal.
Molasses has been waste product in
Louisiana ever since the improved
processes in the manufacture Of sugar
have extracted more of the saccharine
from it than formerly. 1t has been o
problem how to get rid of it. The dis.
coveTy therefore that 1t could be used
as a food for stock was of double
value.
Six months ago factory was erected
for the manufacture of cattle food
from molasses. The process is very
simple.
The molasses Is mixed with corn OF
oats in nearly equal proportions. The
mixture is pressed into a solid mass
and dried and then ground into a fine
powder.
1t is like the cottonseed meal with
which cattle and horses are fed
throughout the world. The horses
mules and cattle are very fond Of the
molasses, and they do better on it
than on any other food fed to them,
They keep fat and are capable of ex.
traOrdinary work in hauling heavy
loads.
This one factory turns out $50 tong
Of molasses preparation a day; and
the stuff is being rapidly substituted Oh
the plantations for the raw molasses,
not because 1t Is any better, but be.
cause 1t is more conveniently handled.
So far the use of moIasses for feed.
ing horses has been confined to New
Orleans and the sugar districts, but
by this process which enables it to
be handled easily, it is likely to be
shipped elsewhere.
Only a small part Of the Louisiana
molasses crop, which runs to from
30,000,000 to 50,000,000 gallons year,
is used for horse and cattle food or in
any other way; and large proportion
Of it is thrown away or burned in the
furnace with the bagasse and other
waste and refuse.-New York Sun.

A Grand Trunk Highway.

1t is gratifying to learn, through o
report recently made by w. L. Dickin
son, Treasurer Of the New York and
Chicago Road Association, and also
through Albert A. Pope, its President
that the preliminary steps taken to ac
complish the construction Of continu
Gus highway from New York to Chica
go have brought highly satisfactory re-
suits. Treasurer Dickinson, who has
lately completed a tour Of the route to
be followed by the new road states
that the different authorities of the
towns and counties to be traversed by
the thorOughfare are heartily for the
project, and promise to aid it to the ex
tent of their power.
Statistics show that good roads ag
gregating $50 miles in length already
exist along the proposed route, which
indicates that only about 500 miles OF
new road will need to be built in order
TO connect the two cities in the manner
desired The laws governing the con-
struction of such highway appear ia
present no obstacle, except in the State
of Indiana, where, it is said, they will
have TO be amended slightly before the
plan can be carried out
An important feature of the Treasu
rer's investigation was his discovery
that the various town and county off
GERS with whom he consulted appre,
ciate thoroughly the benefit they viii
derive from the highway when it is
completed. They do not overlook the
fact that this great avenue. together
with the many branch roads which will
diverge from it. will greatly increase
the value Of their property by facilitat
ing transportation, and will also add
in a general way, to their domestic
prosperity.
We hope that the prediction made
some weeks ago by the associations
Vice-Prcsident that within three OF
four years a grand trunk highway be
tween New York and Chicago will be
an accomplished fact" will be full
filed, and, Judging from the zeal and
success which have attended the move
meIt so far ii will be.

Gond Roads Camnnlcn

There have been many practical in
fiuences at work as aids to the goo6
roads movement, but the farmers have
been unusually conservative in lending
their co operation to the effort to bring
about a change in the laws governing
the payment of highway taxes, and
they have not taken an active part ip
the movement which seeks IA reform in
the way these taxes are expended. AL
though farming communities are the
ones principally interested in good
highways, and the pockets Of the
farmers are directly benefited by
cheapening the cost Of hauling theI
products to market, they are prone to
adhere TO old methods, and are appre.
henslve that the expense of change
in the method Of building and main.
taning roads will fall upon them with.
out resulting compensatiDg benefits

Drainage OF our Pubic Roads.

| ROM a recent publication OF
Il the United States Office Of
Road Inquiries we take the
q following:
An essential feature of good roads Is
good drainage. and the principles Of
good drainage remain substantially the
same, whether the roads he construct
ed Of earth, gravel, shells stones or as.
phalt. The first demand of good drain
age is 10 attend to the shape Of road
surface. This must be crowned or
rounded up toward the centre, so that
there may be a fall from the centre to
The sides, thus compelling the water to
flow rapidly from the surface into the
cutters, which should be constructed
on one OF both sides, and from there
in turn be discharged into larger and
more open channels. Furthermore II
Is necessary that no water be allowed
to flow across a roadway; culverts,
tile, stone. or box drains should be pro
vided for that purpose.
In addition to being well covered and
drained the surface should be kept as
smooth as possible, that is, free from
ruts, wheel tracks, holes or hollows
If any of these exist instead Of being
thrown to the side the water Is held
back and is either evaporated by the
Gun or absorbed by the material of
which the road is constructed. In the
latter case the material loses its solid
ity, softens and yields TO the impact OF
, the horses feet and the wheels Of We
hicles, and, like the water poured upon
a grindStone, so the water poured on q
road surface which is not properly
drained assists the grinding action Of
the wheels in rutting or completely de-
strOying the surface. When water is
allowed TO stand on road the holes
and ruts rapidly increase in number
and size: wagon after wagon sinks
deeper until the road finally becomes
utterly bad. and sometimes impassa

Tho nlxstsrlou. Tumbler.

This little experiment is mysterious
enough to those that witness It TO
seem like magic, and yet it simply is
an illustration of a well-known principle
OF natural philosophy. All you need
to make the experiment is marble
top table, a glass tumbler and piece
OF candle.
You first put under the legs at one
end Of the table thin wedges OF wood
or paper to give the table very slight
incline in the direction OF the other
end.
Now take a plain glass tumbler and
moisten the rim carefully, so that the
water will stick to it, or at least
enough to make a thin coating OF
moisture Place the tumbler, rim
down, on the end OF the table where
the wedges are, and it will not move,
for the incline, il you have not made
the wedges too thick, will not be great
enough to make the tumbler move by
gravity.
But you are going to make the tun1-
bier move of itself so that it will seem
TO do so by magical power. To do this
light the piece of candle and hold it
near the tumbler for a few moments,
The heat from the candle will cause
the air in the tumbler to expand, and
this expansion will have the effect OF
raising the tumbler Just a little from
the smooth marble. The air cannot es-
cape, however, because the water
around the rim OF the tumbler keeps it
in.
Then the tumbler will begin to move
slowly along the marble top, for the
slight elevation that the expanded air
has given it makes it now rest on a
thin layer OF moisture, and it glides
down the incline by the force OF gravity
