Business IS growing in all parts Of the
country in a most encouraging manner,
the intrinsic worth or securities Is IN
creasing, and even at current prices
there IS adequate excuse for investment
purchases IN the greater number OF is
sues. AT the moment, however, specu-
latiVe activity may pause, as public op-
orators have suffered losses, as money
rates are likely TO remain at moder-
ateiy stif level in the rest OF the month.
and as the situation in the cotton mar
ket presents an element OF uncertainty
and weakness that may tend TO restrict
operations for higher prices In the Sc
Curlties market.
DESPITE these considerations. quota
tions on the stock exchange may move
contrary 10 this expectation. Further
advances may be recorded in the rest OF
the month. increased activity may de
velop. and the year may close with
prices at the best figures or 1904. In
view OF the remarkable movements IN
the last six months il is not safe TO
make predictions as TO the course OF
trading ia the next few weeks, but. ac-
cording to the belief OF cOnservatiyely
bullish operators. no matter which way
the market moves between the present
time and the new year. another bull
wave viii mark the course OF the stock
market in the early months OF 1890.
The movement OF the market follow
ing the severe break in Thursdays trad
ing was not encouraging 20 the people
who believe that the course OF values
will be IN the direction OF lOwer quota
tons in the rest OF the year. The recov-
cry was a natural development OF the
extreme weakness. and IL was IN line
with the trend OF prices that has always
marked the speculation that Immediate
Is follows a serious slump IN quotations
Whether or not this recovery will run
any further il as puzzling as the ques-

CONFUSED TERMS.

Many people get confused on the
nomenclature OF our summer storms.
The twister is usually called a cyclone
when ii is really a tornado. while the
storm where the wind is OF excessive
velocity blowing in one direction is
called a tornado, while it is cyclone.
The tornado proper is the storm demon
which drops down funnel shaped from
the clouds, usually moving from south
west to northeast, rotary in its incon-
ceivable force and very limited in its
area Of destruction; the cyclone proper
is often q storm a thousand miles in
diameter and, while rotary in its move
ment over this vast diameter, fur
nishes wind velocity from a given di-
rection of from 20 to $50 miles an
hour. 1t is the cyclone which wrecks
the West India islands. which over
whelmed Galveston and which fire.
quently sweeps up the Atlantic coast
from the tropics. The press Of the
country is to blame for this confusion
OF terms. 1t almost invariably refers
to the twister as cyclone when 1t is
really tornado.

SYNDICATE FARMING,

The new way of farming. the scien-
tific and intelligent working of the soil
for the production of crops, Is fast
opening up an entirely new field for
ambitious and enterprising young men
which for want of u better name may
be termed syndicate farming. This
work may be done in two ways-drst
by capitalists investing In tract OF
land and placing the management Of ii
in charge of competent educated ag-
riculturist. he to conduct the farm OPP
erations on the same general plan as
are mines, factories and railways; the
other plan. and it has much to com
mend it, is to bunch number of
farms and their owners. the owners to
retain title to both land and its prod
ucts. but to be operated by one cOmpe-
tent man, he determining what crops
shall be grown and how they shall be
cared for. This sort of cooperation
under intelligent and skilled direction
insures the best possible results in the
matter of producing the crops and also
secures special rates for ali which
members of such syndicate may have
to buy. and this done without in any
manner destroying the individual own
ership of land or its products. Many a
poorly paying farm might be made
profitable under this method. Young
men who fit themselves for this special
work Of superintendent are likely to
be more and more In demand.

The fruit growers of the south coun'

spring frosts as their brethren in the
north and often more. This year large
sections of the south were visited by
an early April freeze which caught the
peaches. strawberries, plums and other
tender things a-bloom and ruined the
crop for this year, while at the north
the weather, keeping continuously cold
has kept the fruit bloom dormant, and

Our neighbours catalpa tree, ten years
old and big enough to make six good
fence posts of unquestioned durability
is an object lesson worth careful study
A thousand of these trees could be
grown on one acre of land. Six thou
sand posts at Is cents each would be
5000, or nearly 500 per acre per year
Cut this estimate in two, and then the
return would discount any other crop
which could be grown on the land.

use to plead ignorance Of the law when
you have violated ii. Courts will as
sumo that you know. Your opponents
word in a civil case is just as good as
yours in the absence Of witnesses or
collateral evidence Of any sort. II
your case is in any manner tainted

We always like to watch migratory
flock of swallows or blackbirds. For
a brief nesting season there has been
no community of interest among these
birds, each pair of birds mated and
rearing their little brood in a very
independent sort Of way, but these
duties out of the way they gather to-
gether, the swallows to line the tele-
phone or telegraph wires and plan for
their long trip to the south, while the
blackbirds sweep down in the cotton
wood trees, noisy crowd like the
rooters at game of baseball.
