letter from DR. Vile to the Evening

"It is with extreme regret that ! am
reluctantly compelled to abandon the
erection of the Vile building and the
Jefferson theater. The persistent and
unremitting efforts to boycott my busi-
ness and deprive me of it, as well as
the insistent rumors, coming thicker
and thicker every day, of the trouble
in store for me during it's erection and
after its completion, have determined
this course. So / will have to let the
stone foundation which I have reared
on the corner of West and Foster

honest endeavor, uncompleted." 1t

II Is usually said that It requires

faithful old hen. An acre ri ground
will furnish the food for 80 hens. the
profits from which will far exceed that
of the COW. The secret of success

Comparison of Hay and Pasture.

Does 1t pay to use a pasture: that
is. will larger profit be derived from
cows that are given exclusively the
use of pasture. or will the same land
pay more II used for producing hay?
The Michigan Experiment station
found. after repeated tests, that about
four times as much food could be OBJ
tanned from a meadow by allowing 1t
t0 produce hay than by pasturing 1t,
which means that four cows can be
kept on the land where only one can
be kept by pasturing it. One of the
drawbacks against using the land for
hay however is that considerable le-
Dor is required in moving, curing and
storing the hay, while the cows on the
pasture perform the labor. Also that
cows given green food as pasturage
produce more milk in the summer sea-
son than If kept on hay, and must he
given green food in some manner to
he profitable.

Good Roads in Alabama.

Too much cannot be said in favor of
good roads in this Statc-a State that
has very poor roads except in a very
few counties.
What Is needed in this State In the
respect of public roads is education
and agitation, with view to securing
the appointment by the next Lcgislat-
ure of commissioner of public roads.
Such man must be Il competent man.
He must not only know good road
when lie sees II, but he must he able
to build good road. He must also
be man who can talk to the people,
who can tell county commissioners
how to place bonds--an educator, in
fact, who must visit every county in
the State at least twice n year. In or
der to secure competent man he must
be paid n living salary-say $500 Il
year, or about $40 county. And such
q man will be well worth to any county
many times $40 each and every year
1t is a practical piece of business. in
which there is no politics, something
we can all support to n man, some
thing we will support to the utmost il
we desire to make Alabama the best
State in all the world. All she lacks
now is good roads. ds.-Birmingham Age.

Gold Dredging In the Urals.

Gold placers have been worked in
the Ural and in Siberia for many
years, but with rare exceptions no at
tempts have been made to extract
gold from the gravels lying below the
level of the surface water. lll-consid-
cred attempts at dredging have been
made in few instances on the tribu-
taries of the Amoor river in East ST.
IBERIA. These were failures, princi.
pally on account of the shortness Of
the season and the distance from re.
pair shops. In the Ural, peasant op
orators have long obtained gold and
platinum from the rivers by the prac
tice of "boat-shoveling," method
formerly used to some extent in the
southeastern part of the United
States. This method. however, which
employs no machinery more elaborate
than a hand-windlass, is necessarily
limited in capacity. Within two years
dredges of the New Zealand and
American types have been installed
in the Mariinsk district of West 81.
IBERIA. Reports from the American
machine are not yet at hand, but
those from the New Zealand dredge.

season of 1900, leave no question as
