best adapted to any given conditions. that
is, the character of crop, size. labor. cost,
etc? Irrigation is becoming an important
factor in the development OF millions OF
acres of farmland in this country. How
should il be done? With coal, OIL. gas.
electricity or wind power? Which is most
economical? How should the farm be
drained, now it is known that drainage
has an important influence on the value OF
the crop? The breeder AMI dairyman now
adays knows that proper sanitation of his
stable IS necessary to insure satisfactory
results. Ventilation and drainage must be
looked after as carefully as in his own
home. The Department of Agriculture Is
deluged with inquiries asking for informa-
ton on these and allied subjects, show
ing the widespread demand for the agri-
cultural engineer. on whom will depend, in
a large measure, the maintenance OF
American agricultural supremacy.

FARM AND
GARDEN ~
INTERESTS
Growing Beef Cattle.

Indiana Farmer.
A few weeks ago we published the adj
dress of Professor Curtiss. of the Iowa Ag-
ricultural College, delivered recently at
Bloomington, III. 1t produced a decided
sensation among beef cattle growers at the
time, when he stated that with present adj
vanced price of good land. il was no longer
possible for the farmers of the corn belt TO
profitably keep the average cow for the
calf she raised alone, and that the profita-
BILE cow on such land was one that would
not only raise a calf. but in addition pro-
duce thirty forty pounds of butter fat;
that We must begin to breed and grow
milking strains of beef cattle. as they are
doing in England and other countries,
Where he saw the descendants OF such
carrying off first prizes in the beef cattle
shows. 1t has become a somewhat settled
conviction in this country that milking
strains and beef strains incompatible
propositions Prof. Curtiss said it was
mistake. as his own observations abroad
contradicted the theory. Then it was sug-
gested in his audience that beef cattle
growers would not go to milking and pro-
ducing butter fat, and to use the phrase
ology OF several beef cattle growers on the
occasion of the address, as the writer heard
them: IF Prof. Curtiss is right, We are up
against it," they said
NOW all this suggests two things In De-
half OF beef cattle growers on high-priced
corn land, namely: First, that there is a
loud call for some genius TO invent success
ful milking machinery, that thirty
pounds OF butter fat cream, as well as
calf, can be secured per year; or, second,
that the smaller farms requiring the larger
profits obtained by constant labor and at
tention TO the dairy industry be induced 10
adopt the milk strains of beef cattle, OBJ
tanning thereby about the same amount of
butter fat, and grow calves that will bring
them SIS to $50 each at weaving. whereas the
calves they now grow for distinctive dairy
breeds bring them only So to $40 each. One
or the other of these two propositions
seems to be the conclusion of the whole
matter" for it looks to us very much like
Professor Curtisss contention was about
accurate, and that large farmers and beef
cattle growers won't go TO milking cows
and selling cream TO get the profit required
In the shape of thirty pounds of butter fat
annually. The second point of suggestion
in the problem seems also to have a profit
able inducement to the smaller dairy farms,
in me margin lying between S. and $40 and
SIS and $50 calves which the beef growers
would ready buy.
We know how dangerous this ground is,
for there looms up the old contention be-
tween cattle breeds and beef and dairy in
dustries, the ''dual-purpose cow" etc.
But Professor Curtiss suggests condition
and not theory" and some liberality in
solving ii seems essential even in the face
of seemingly settled methods of farm eco
Monies. Indeed new conditions always
trench on old methods and plans of pro-
cedure. This time the obtruder is the 40
per cent. advance on rich corn lands.

RECEIPTS AT POST0FFICE.
Financial Clerk Elliott Estimatei
Years Total at 100000.

Financial Clerk David K. Elliott, of the
Indianapolis postoffice, is estimating that
the receipts for stamps and revenues of
the postoffice will reach $4,000 for the last
three-quarters of the fiscal year. With this
estimate Mr.. Elliott thinks it likely that
the years business will show the revenues
to have amounted to more than $500, 900. If
the receipts reach this amount Indianapolis
will be a first-class office, with increases in
the salaries of the postmaster and others
in the Office The effort two years ago to
bring the receipts to 100000 was successful,
but the Postoffice Department at Washing
ton refused to accept 1t a legitimate in
crease and waited until 1901, when the fig
ures exceeded 100000. to make the change
in the classifcatio of the Office.

Columbus, Ga, Oct. 16-(Spe-

Her husband, the late Ralph

that amount with the company.
The annual premium of $31.98
was due on July 81. He did not
pay it and his widow says that
he had been assured by the agent
OF the company that he would
have an extension of thirty DAYS

Two days afterwards his wild :

annual premium to the omprny.
1t was not accepted, the com pan Y
taking the position that the policy
had lapsed.

their agent here for an extension.

PHENIX GROCERY COMPANY.

The Phenix Grocery Company
reorganized last week after in
creasing it's stock to $4,000 90
making it one of the strongest
wholesale houses in this section.
This company although barely
two years old is one of the several
wonders among the business in
stitutions of this community.
About three years ago Wilson
and Mercer built the present
main store building, substantial
three story building with splen-
did cellar fronting on Central Ave
nue. running back 10 feet to the
railroad track, and started cot
ton warehouse and guano busi-
ness. Last spring Mr.. A. ].
Dixon associated himself with
the firm, when another large
warehouse fronting on Grant St.
and extending back to the alley
was added and a wholesale groc-
cry business in a small way was
undertaken. The business has
prospered amazingly all along
tho little effort was made to push
the sales with one travelling
man on the road. Last week Mr..
M. D. Holt concluded that he
liked the business and asked for
share and bought one fourth
interest. The capital stock was
greatly increased and it was re-
solved to work the trade thor
oughly, extend the territory in
several directions and increase
the business generally.
J. E. Mercer, was elected pres.
M. D. Holt, vice pres. A. ].
Dixon, Sec. and Treas, and II.
A. Wilson business manager.
Mr.. Holt will have charge of the
sales department and will him
self go on the road. Mr.. Dixon
will have charge of the books and
accounts and Mr.. Wilson have
general supervision of the bust
ness.
Mr.. H. L. McLendon will con-
tinue his connection, and will be
found in the Office. Mr.. Wiley
Whitley will continue on the road
and with an increased stock of
well bought goods will be able to
meet the sharpest competition.
