mated the crop at 100000 Spectators
are now claiming that II the government
could make so big an error last year, that
the present bureau report on low condi-
ton OF the crop must also be wrong. II
must be borne In mind that fully 10000
bales OF cotton made In 1901 was held over

ded In, which when the total is deducted
from the report OF September ], 100000
bales does not make the actual crop OF

that all the new cotton picked In August
OF this year and sold. which was unusual
Is heavy, was added to the crop Of 19m.
The spinners are forced TO depend only
upon the cotton which is now being gath
cred and put on the market. The present
worlds requirement for American cotton
amounts to 10000 bales annually. II
the present crop should reach 100000
bales. the spinners would be faced with
a shortage OF $4,000 bales, with no old
cotton in storage anywhere TO draw upon,
TO meet the emergency. Farmers who hold
their cotton this season for higher prices
than those now prevailing will not be dis
appointed.
Every man who stores cotton on his
farm TO hold should be careful to protect
his cotton from the weather. Country dam
age is a heavy burden on the cotton pro-
ducers OF this country, and every care
should be taken to see that the staple
is fully preserved from the weather.
The price OF cotton seed should advance
correspondingly with the price OF cotton.
Neither are commanding fair prices in
the market, and the farmers are losing
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars daily
in the sale of their chief money products

SUGGESTIONS FROM
OUR CORRESPONDENTS

ton of affairs in those islands; and her
services were no longer needed by the
government. Professor Sledd, occupying
the chair of Greek in one of our leading
colleges dares to make some statements
in regard to the negro problem which
are adverse to the sentiments Of his own
people. He is burned in effigy by the boys
of one of our towns, and his resignation.
IL not demanded, is readily accepted by
the trustees of that institution
What? Have we come to this at last
that one cannot afford to speak his
thoughts or make Investigations along
certain lines until he has consulted his
constituency, his church or his country
men as to the advisability of so doing? Is
it true that persecution today is resorted
to as a means of compelling men to speak
only those things which are in harmony
with the sentiments of their own people?
Is IL true that men are forced to resign
positions of honor and trust for no other
reason than that they dare to investigate
lines of thought or give expression to
their honest sentiments when these do
not conform to the thought and senti-
ment of their own age and of their own
people?
In many Instances these things are true.
But to what end? Have the charges
brought against the administration in the
Philippines been answered by putting
the Methodists proven the statements of
Professor Sledd to be untrue by ostra-
cising him? Or have the Baptists answer
ed the arguments of Christian Science by
the attitude they have assumed towards
Professor Moseley? Is the church acting
wisely In trying to force its ministers to
an iron-clad system of human opinion?
In such instances would we not obtain
much better results by allowing a free
discussion of the questions in hand sc
that statements which are wrong and fig
ures that will not hold good may be point
ed out and truth established? If Christian
Science is right or If Professor Sledd's
article is correct, all the churches. coun
ellis, trustees and popes cannot make eth
er otherwise.
Who has a monopoly on truth? Havp
the people Of any locality? Have til
churches or their various boards? WI

shall speak7 When all are left free to

shall write or not write, speak or no
speak, we are no longer free. Let us stand
fast, therefore, in the liberty wherewita
we have been made free.

one leg shot off with cannon ball. He
was from Maryland. Often have I heard
mother tell how they had to march in ice
and water knee deep and pick up old dry
bones to boil and make broth to keep from
starving. Some would cook snakes; they
had hard times and not like the soldiers
nowadays, with their canned goods. Since
the late war have lost trace Of all my
uncles and aunts. Have advertised Blu

This report" says Mr. Griggs, "also
contains a table of the earnings of the
head of a family and their relation to
the family expenditures. 1t comprehends
the earnings and expenditures OF 152 heads
of families The average weekly wage of
ia family heads is shown to be $13.75. In
the other thirty-eight cases the average
weekly wage amounts to $11.31 the total
yearly earnings of the head averaging, for
the 152 families, 1894. In twenty-one in
stances the earnings of the head exceeded
the amount expended. In four instances
the accounts balance and in 127 instances,
however, about four-f1fths of the entire
number. the earnings Of the head were
insufficient to meet the family expendi-
ture.
Does this look like prosperity for the
workingmen? 1t must be remembered
also that these figures were compiled in
1901 and the report issued early this year.
The prices on all these necessaries of life
are now much higher than in 1901 Espe-
cially is this true of coal and beef, the
prices of both being manipulated by
trust"
In proof Of the last statement, Chair
man Griggs produces a letter signed by
William Camack, a miner Of Fayette,
Fayette county, w. Va, who has taken
the trouble to compare the prices in 1897
with the prices Of the present day upon
articles which he has to buy. This miner
saws that he is now on a strike in order
to secure the increase of wages necessary
to keep pace with the advanced cost OF
necessaries of ..fe. As matter Of inter-
est the list sent to the committee is

THE VALUE OF FRUITS AS FOOD

Fruit is a perfect food when fully ripe,
and If it were in daily use from youth to
age there would be less of the many minor
ailments that are so common these days.
says NJ M. withrow in Table Talk.
Encourage the children to eat more fruit
instead of so much candy, but teach them
not to eat the skins, which contain
germs and are for the protection of the
delicate fruit and no more intended for
human food than potato skins, melon
rinds and pea pods
Dr. Duponry, a celebrated French phyA
stefan, divides fruits into five classes, each
of which possesses a special hygienic val
ue-the acid, the sweet, the astringent, the
oily and the mealy. To the first, includ-
ing cherries, Strawberries, raspberries,
gooseberries, peaches, apples, lemons and
oranges. he accords great merit. Cherries,
however. he prohibits entirely to those
affected with neuralgia of the stomach.
Strawberries and raspberries he recon-
mends warmly to those of bilious and
equity temperament, and denies them to
those in whom diabetes is present or sus-
pected.
OF the sweet fruits he considers that
plums are of special hygienic value, and
even a preventive in govt and some forms
of rheumatism.
To the grape ne dCCOTQS the very uISl
place. He is an ardent advocate Of what
in Europe is called the grape cure. In
this cure grapes form the exclusive diet
for several DAYS The patient common
ces with the consumption of from one to
two pounds daily, with gradual increase
to eight or ten pounds. After few days
of this diet, marked improvement in the
general health is noticeable. The appe-
title improves, the digestion becomes easy
and rapid, and increased capacity to with
stand the fatigue of outdoor exercise is
noticeable. The grape cure is particularly
recommended to the anaemic, dyspepuc,
consumptive, and in cases of liver trouble
and govt.
Another doctor says bananas are the
best of food for typhoid fever patients.
Lemons and tomatoes should be used
daily in warm weather, as they have
cooling effect.
Lemonade is the best drink in fevers,
and when thickened with sugar is better
than syrup of squills and other nauseous
drugs in many cases of cough.
The juice OF half lemon in teacuptul
of strong, black coffee, without sugar
will often cure sick headache.
Oranges and pomegranates are very ac-
ceptable to most stomachs
The apple is one of the best of fruits
Baked or stewed apples will generally
agree with the most delicate person, and
are an excellent medicine in many cases
of sickness. Green or half-ripe apples
stewed and sweetened are pleasant to

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 6.-Connected
directly with the industrial growth OF the
south is the question of cattle-raislng.
Not only is a population increasing
through industry to be furnished its beer
raised at home, but increasing employ
ment in industry is to be onered IN the
handling of cattle in all Its forms from
the field to the consumer. Census figures
show that in FIVE important southern
states there was in 1900 a smaller number
of neat cattle than there was in 1860 and
in two of them a smaller number in 1900,
than 1880. A number of factors nave con-
tributed to the actual decline in the num-
Der of cattle in some states together with
a failure in others of the increase to keep
pace with the increase in population.
One of them IS the habit of selling young
stock for shipment to the west to be
grazed and killed there and to be returned
to the south as beef. The lack OF econ
omy in such a policy is. being impressed
upon soutern farmers, and there are signs
of deep interest in revival of cattle-rais-
ing and in packing-house undertakings.
Bearing upon that movement is a letter
In this weeks issue of the manufacturers
record from Mr.. c. j. Haden, Of Atlanta,
Ca, embodying the results of trip he
has made in the west. He compares. the
high plains of the west with the vast
stretches of pine-timber plains of the
southeast, with fifty inches of rainfall
year, situated on an average 1000 miles
nearer the markets and as yet unused
for agriculture, and he says:
"Our southeastern lands escape the de-
structive blizzards and snowstorms that
afflict the plains; for be 1t remembered
that the grazing lands of the far west are
from 1900 to 5000 feet above sea level,
and the best of them particularly those
parts near the Rocky mountains) are SUBJ
jected to heavy snow falls.
''The casual observer who first passes
through the Western plains and then
through South Georgia forests will sat-
isfy himself at a glance Of the greater
quantity of grass on the latter. Cattle
growing, which has been carried on in
these forest lands in small way, ADJUST
ed to the feeble finances and lukewarm
enterprise of the native settlers, has been
practically alNproft. The watering and
wintering necessary in the west are UNI
known requisites. Hitherto herding has
also been unnecessary, but this last item

Raising cabbages.

W. B. T.. Townsville Ca:
My father Is a subscriber TO The Semi
Weekly Journal. I always note carefully
your column Timely Talks to Farmers. -
and as I am a young man and farmer,
which I like better than anything else,
I wish TO ask you a few questions con-
corning cabbages. wish to plant a few
for market. The ground to be planted
is a light sandy soil. level, How shall I
prepare this land? How to fertilize,
either with stable manure or commercial
fertilizers? When to set out plants for
January and February use and how to
plant them? What is the best commercial
fertilizer TO use? have been thinking
OF using cotton seed meal and acid.
Answer: Break the land deep and mel
ground heavily with well rotted stable
manure. or II commercial fertilizers are
used. you can make up good formula
as follows:
Cotton seed meal, 1.O5O pounds.
Acid phosphate. 200 pounds.
Muriate of potash, $50 pounds.
This formula is about right and you
can use from 1000 to 1900 pounds per
acre. For winter cabbage the seed
should be planted now and transplanted
as early as possible. Sow the seed in
light rows or beds and transplant them
on rows three feet apart and giving the
plants Is inches on the row. Cabbages
must be highly fertilized and cultivated
rapidly to develop good size and fine
heads.

&c. HADEN WRITES
ON CATTLE FARMS

must be considered II the industry is pur-
sued on a considerable scale. Persons re-
mote may be surprised to know that al
though Georgia was one Of the thirteen
original states, yet within seVenty-AVe
miles of the first settlement Savannah
the traveller may ride across the forests
ten miles without seeing the habitant OF
man. Georgia, the largest state In square
miles east of the Mississippi river, hav-
ing depended for nearly century upon
natural reproduction, unaided by tmmi-
grafton, is yet decidedly pioneer at ootn
it's northern and southern ends. Hence
there is sufficient grazing at present not
utilized for millions of cattle. Add 70
these facts that water is abundant, If
not on the surface, accessible by shallow
wells, costing to dig from s. to $40 each,
or at most artesian wells costing on an
average of $500, and there is conclusive
showing in favor of the southeast as
against the far west.
1.-THE land privileges in the southeast
would be less in proportion to the feed
ing power of the grass than in the plains.
But as the southeastern lands are in the
most part timbered, or even where cut
over are valuable for general farming
purposes, with sufficient timber remain
ing for farm uses, the stock-grower would
probably prefer to be his own landlord.
He can then at small cost supplement
where needed with improved grasses.
1.-THE actual expense is less to equip
a ranch for beginning in the southeastern
pine lands than on the western plains.
The peculiar advantage of the pine-land
country is in the fact that more grass is
found in a less area, bringing the herds
closer to a given point, which facilitates
business. The absence of the harassing
coyote, the sleepless thief Of the night that
eats away the ranchman's dividends, is
also a cumulative argument in behalf of
the inviting forests along the South Allan
tic. The high prices of cattle and cheap.
ness of the land warrant an inflowing
verdict"

A Mirror for Theatres.

Rochester Union and Advertiser
The little theatrical mirror just invented
will call down blessings on her head from all
theatregoers, masculine, well as feminine
if II is placed as 1t should be, on the backs Of
all the theatre seats in the country. 1t will
not only assist in the proper adjustment Of the
ladies' hats after the play is over, but also al
low persons to take a survey Of the house be-
hind them, doing away with the stretching of
the neck now necessary to see who present
and what they are wearing. The mirror is Sc
cured TO the back Of the seat by means of a
curved arm, which folds against the chair back
when not in use. The glass is secured to the
outer end Of the arm by double joint allow
ing 1t to swing horizontally and tilt in a
vertical plane, thus placing the mirror at any
desired angle. giving the desired rear view. If
one does not wish 20 use the GLASS ii can be used
