Southern Farmers.

From the Southern Farm Magazine.
The truth begins to dawn upon the minds
Of the agricultural writer's of the north that
the southern farmer is not such thriftless
fellow as he has heretofore been represent
ed to be. The tendency to an improved
agriculture among southern farmers Is be-
coming very marked within recent years.
The fact is admitted that greater Weld of
crops. with less labor, is the proper direc-
ton in which to work. Less land is being
Abandoned and more manure EMPLOYED.
Improved agricultural implements are being
everywhere. On many farms
where fifteen to twenty hands were former.

five or six, and this, too, without reducing

Indeed, this change has, with proper far

were formerly. under slave labor, put in
cultivation every year are now rotated.

Legend of Petropavlovsk.


The Moskovski Listok contains a curious
legend contributed by correspondent who
heard it in the village of TaHtsa.
The story purports to be the experience
of diver who went down to the bottom
Of the sea to inspect the sunken Petro-
pavlovsk. He saw Admiral Makaroff and
his officers and sailors all standing on
the decks of the Inflated battle ship, to-
gether with Father Alexis. the priest, who
went down with her. They were singing
and praying for the car, crying, Lord
have mercy upon Thy people," Then they
all vanished and the diver was left alone
with Father Alexis, who drew nearer to
him and said:
Go back to daylight. Be silent for three
days and three nights. and then tell every
thing you have seen and heard Tell
them that we are praying in the wilder
ness of the ocean. The Lord will hear
our prayer and give strength to oar car.
Then the Petropavlovsk, battered and
crippled, will rise from the bed Of the sea
with US all, and Admiral Makaroff will
hold a review Of his fleet and command II
to go to the Japanese capital to dictate
peace to the vanquished foe And the
whole fleet will sail past the Petropavloysk
with music, God save our car Then.
when the fleet has passed, the Petropaylosk
will sink again slowly, slowly with ali of
us into the depths of the sea-this time
for all eternal ages"

Tobacco and Badness.
From the London Globe.


medical man is responsible for the the
DRY that the smoking of tobacco tends to
develop badness. For some reason or
other every mysterious disease Is attribut-
ed, sooner or later, to tobacco. But there
were brave men before Agamemnou, and
there was disease before the days of Sir
Walter Raleigh. Julius Caesar who light
ed neither church warden nor Havana, was
wont to comb his thinning locks forward
over his brow in order to cloak his bald
ness, and Elisha certainly could not have
preserved his hair at the period when he
was insulted by ribald boys. From earths
earliest ages there have surely been men
walking under the everlasting armament
with smooth and shiny heads, and we alto
gether protest. therefore, against the adj
dition of badness to the cumulative
charges brought against tobacco.
1t is one of the saddest evidences of NOR
tality's inherent and incurable baseness
that tobacco. which is certainly one of
mankinds chiefest blessings, should be
forced to bear out into the wilderness OF
medical theories nearly every sickness and
evil which. so far, the sacred weed has
been unable to remove.

Dustless Highways.
rom the Chicago Chronicle.

How to obtain dustless highways has
long been a problem to which municipal
supervisors in all parts of the world have
neen devoting a great deal of attention. An
official report of the department of bridges
and roads in France shows the continuance
of good results obtained in rendering roads
free from dust by coating the surface with
tar. The engineer for the Seine and Marine
departments reports that after an unsuc-
cessful trial of mixture of oil and petro-
leum a coating of tar was in the summer of
1902 laid down on seven different lengths of
road. After carefully observing these roads
during a period of twelve months he finds
the dust and mud have wholly disappeared.
and the cost Of maintenance of the roads
has been considerably reduced. Further
comparing the previous outlay on the roads
with that of those with tarred substance
he says: ut appears that the tarring
method requires no greater outlay and at
the same time very considerably improves
the condition Of the roadway. In La Cher
two lengths of the Chausee Rationale were
coated with tar in June and August of 1902
Both these experiments have been entirely
successful. the road now being covered
with an elastic skin. while the sound of
foot passengers tread is muffled and horse
ana oxen require only one-half the effort
they put forth before The noise and Vi
bratfon caused by vehicular traffic Is much
reduced, and neither dust nor mud IA
formed on the tarred surface"

The Other Planets.
THE VENEERING INDUSTRY.
Indianapolis Furnishes Large Part Of
the Supply for Cabinetmakers.

FIom the Indianapolis News.
There is a great deal of so-called oak
furniture sold nowadays" said an Indian
apolis dealer. but large part of it is
veneered. This is particularly true Of par
Tor and ornamental furniture. Coarse and
common furniture may be made Of solid
oak, but fine furniture is almost Invariably
veneered. This is because a much finer
finish can be got from CHARTERED oak veneer
than from the solid wood. The grain comes
out better, and it takes a higher polish.
Where strength and durability are required
the solid wood is used. but for surfaces
veneering is preferable.
Indianapolis is the largest veneer manu-
featuring center in the world. There are
seven factories here. and their combined
output is nearly equal to that of all the
other factories in the United States. The
Indiana Lumber and Veneer Company. the
largest of the local factories, has branch
establishments in Grand Rapids, Mich, and
in New York city, and its goods go all over
the continent. Some Of the other factories
have almost an equally extensive trade.
The one named makes a speciality OF quar-
ter-sowed white oak veneering.
II also makes walnut. red oak, sycamore
and maple veneer, but about 15 per cent Of
its output is quartered oak. The sycamore
used to be regarded comparatively
worthless tree, but II works up well in We
neerlng, ana mas many uses IN the manu-
facture of furniture. 1t can be stained in
imitation of cherry and other hard woods.
There are two kinds of veneering, sawed
and sliced. but it takes an expert to tell
the difference. The process OF manufac-
ture is simple and interesting. The logs.
delivered at the factory in the rough, about
Is feet in length, are first cooked In hot
water watts to make them soft and work
able 1t does not matter how green they
are.
After being thoroughly cooked they
are placed on machines designed for the
purpose and either sliced by a powerful
knife the length of the log or cut by a
circular saw into slabs about one-twentieth
of an inch thick. These slabs are the full
length of the log, and when first cut are so
plIable that they can be bent double with
out breaking. The uniform thickness or
thlrness of the slabs is preserved by the
action of the machinery, and does not vary
as much as a hairs breadth in the entire
length of the slab. After the slabs are
sliced or sawed they are seasoned by steam
ing This requires only about twenty-four
hours, and then they are ready for the
market.
indianapolis veneering Is sold all over the
United States and in Canada. 1t is in great
demand by car builders and furniture man
ufacturers especially oak veneering. which
is placed as finish on softer and cheaper
woods Some of the huge oak logs which
comes to the factories show by the rings IN
them that the trees were from 30 to 40
years old. These monarchs OF the forest
all come from Indiana, and the period of
their growth reaches far back beyond the
time when white men first entered this part
of the country.
