very best way to locate the homes.
The tract will not be built up by
the colonization company and rented
out, but the immigrants, principally
Scandinavians, many of whom can
speak English and want to move
from the northwest to escape the
rigors of winters on the prairies, will
buy their homesteads on easy terms
and will begin to improve the
property at once.
The agent whom Mr.. Watson has
interested in these improvements ia
one whom he met on his trip to
New York shortly after the bureau
was established. Mr.. Watson at that
time gave the State such afavorable
advertisement at the metropolis that
the eyes of the colonization compa-
MES were turned this way, and this
is the fruition of plans that have
been maturing for weeks.-The

the cathedral | went to ST. Ursula
church, which seems to be noted
| more for it's collections of bones than
any thing else. They claim to have
the bones of $1,000 virgin martyrs
preserved in cases and on the walls,
which are lined with them, making
to me very gruesome sight indeed.
All of these bones are in a com para
lively small room connected with the
church. The guide who is connected
with the church showed US one of
the pots which contained the water
that was turned into wine at the
marriage of Cana in Galilee. He
also showed us two thorns which he
claimed were in the crown worn by
the Saviour at the crucifixion. He
also exhibited some bones which he
said were Stephens, the first mar
tyr's. The man seemed really to
believe that these things were so.
He also showed us one lot of bones
which he said had worked miracles.
From this place I went around to
the little chapel of the Church of
England, where / heard very good
sermon from the minister in charge.
Text: "Behold stand at the door
and knock" etc. These words were

Large Tract Of Land Sold to immigrants.

I"9o s'det VI @aUu oOlu u Immigrants.
The work of bringing colonists to
South Carolina has been launched.
Last night papers were signed and
delivered to an agent who will pro-
ceed at once to populate and to
build up 10000 acres of land in Lex
ington county which have never
been under cultivation. The amount
involved in the transaction is some
thing like $l25,000.
The agent of this colonization
company prefers, for very good rea-
sons, that his name should not be
used, but it is enough to say that he
has been one of the greatest promo
ters of the upbuilding of the great
northwest, that he is carried away in
his enthusiasm over the prospects
here and that before the end of the
week he may purchase $4,000 acres
additional for the purpose of bring
ing to South Carolina sturdy Scandi-
navian settlers who will engage in
agricultural pursuits.
This transaction, which it is hoped
is but the first of the closing of half
dozen large options, was brought
about through the commissioner of
commerce and immigration, Mr.. E.
j. Watson, who will leave the city
tomorrow to perfect the arrange
ments for locating colonies in other
parts of the State. The body of
land which was sold yesterday is
said to be the very kind for truck
farms, is well timbered and is cut up
by everal water courses. The South
ern's trunk line from New York to
Florida passes through this tract and
it will be an easy matter to ship the
produce raised on the farms.
The owner of the tract in Lexing-
ton county visited the Northwest to
see how this matter of colonization
is conducted and he was so we'll
pleased that he closed the trade yes.

The manner in which Bomesteads
will be located is very interesting
The tract will be divided into sec.

New eMat Preservatlve.

A new meat curing process Is re-
ported from Germany, where Profess
sor Emmerich claims to be able to
preserve meat In fresh condition by
injecting into the veins of the dead
animal acetic acid. The blood Is first
permitted to run out and then the
acid is put in. 1t permeates the flesh,
so the professor claims, and that pre-
vents all decay and makes the use of
refrigeration unnecessary. 1t Is OBJ.
vious that If this process proves to be
all that is claimed for 1t, 1t will revo.
lutionize the meat curing industry, al
acetic acid Is not an expensive pre-
sentative. The reports say that meat
SO cured has been shipped from Ger
many to South African ports and was
found on arriving at its destination to
be of good quality and perfectly pre-
served. Our readers must remember
however that great things are claimed
for all new processes.

Green ManurIno crops.

There are many soils that are not
benefited by green manuring crops.
Such soils are those already rich In
nitrogen and In humus. An investiga'
ton by the University Of Illinois has
shown that on many Of the soils In
Illinois an addition Of humus and OF
nitrogen would be a positive detri'
ment. This leads to the remark that
we must have a reason for every farm
operation. The green manure crop
is needed on the soil that is deficient
In humus and nitrogen, but is labor
lost on many other soils. II is obvious
that we cannot lay down rules that
can be followed blindly on all farms.
The green manuring crop ia valuable
where II is needed, but worthless or
sorsa. where II is not needed. The
intelligence Of every farmer must de-
lsrmine the sscessity for each opera
ton on the farm.

Eeedlnn the Bull.

The feeding of the bull is a very
important matter, more so than the
feeding of the COW, for the reason that
the bull is generally kept up all the
time. Under such an abnormal con-
1ition he becomes too fat If he is
fed a too large ration of corn. 1t is
better to feed him on a mixed grain
ration, including oats, and to give
him a rough feed rich in nitrogen
rather than rich in carbon. Bran,
which is comparatively low in car
bon and high in nitrogen, should be
a part of the daily ration. For the
bull at least roots should be fed In
considerable quantities, unless he has
an abundance of exercise, which most
of our bulls do not get. II under a
properly balanced ration the bull be-
comes too fat it is indicative OF a
lack Of vigor, and such a bull should
be disposed of and one substituted
that has the vigor desired.

Reflect pecayed Food.

The farmer is sometimes tempted
to feed decayed or musty food to his
poultry. It should never be done
Just what effect 1t might have on the
eggs produced by the fowls we do not
know, but 1t may have a very serious
effect on the digestive apparatus. We
have seen 1t urged not to feed such
foods because they would give to the
eggs the same talnts they had them
selves, but this may be doubted. One
writer tries to prove his case BY as
serting that onions fed to fowls pro-
duced the smell Of onions in the eggs.
This may well be true, as the onion
contains a very penetrating oil that
will pass through the systems Of most
animals. 1t will appear in the egg OF
the hen or the milk Of the COW. But
that does not apply to the general
run Of foods. They should be re-
jected, but rejected for the reason
that they endanger the health OF the
birds,

Dalrylnq In Mexico.

Mr.. Lespinasse, the United States
consul at Tuxpan, Mexico, in a report
to the government, says: The old
methods of milking, churning, and
general manipulation Of milk products
are still in existence here, thereby
rendering 1t impossible to produce
good butter. Cows are allowed to
roam over the grazing lands and are
rarely sheltered or given the least
care. The milking process is per.
formed in the most unskilled manneS
conceivable. The COW Is tied by tho
head, and the operator proceeds to
milk the animal in his rough and un-
systematic manner until he finally
forces quart or two of inferior milk
from the cows udder. The milk Is
placed in untidy wooden vessels and
transferred to some shed or clubhouse,
where 1t is allowed to remain unpro-
tected over night. The following
morning the cream is skinned and
either beaten with a forked stick or
violently agitated in bottle until the
butter granules are formed. 1t is
then indinferently washed and offered
as butter. 1t quickly turns rancid. +
sells at from 80 to 40 cents per pound
United States money, and is good
neither to look at nor to taste. The
sour milk is compressed in coarse
cloth, sailed and allowed to dry for
several days. 1t is then an insipid,
spoDgy mass, which sells for from
to 8 cents (U. 81 cheese. Each
OF these cheeses is round, about an
inch thick and about inches in diam
eter. They find a QUICK sale in this
market. Such thing as the most
simple, modern dairy appliance Is I'M

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA

For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh OF the Stomach is GENERALLY

Hence, Pepsin, PanCreatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies

These Remedies Do Not Reach tho
Seat Of the Difficulty, Which
Is Really Catarrh.

NIX. q. s. Senator M. @. Butler from

Pepsia and stomach trouble. have

period and I feel very much relieved.
IL Is indeed q wonderful medicine be-
sides good tonic. IN c. Butler
The only rational way to cure dys-
pepsia is to remove the catarrh, Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. II cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
ton in a natural way. This is vastly
better and safer than resorting to arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. II catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures 1t. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled In the stomach,
Peruna cures 1t, as well In this location
as in any other.
Peruna 10 not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it Ii
