PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

1t is said THAT Henry Payne Whitney
will keep the racing stable of his late
father intact.
Gov. Dockery, Of Missouri, carries a
plain walking cane, in the handle OF
which, inlaid in tDroise shell, is his full
name. 1T is a gift from a convict whom

swer to a question. The man had served
II years and | thought that was long
enough. He promised TO behave himself
and he is keeping his word"
The entire fortune of Moses 3. Glenn
ents, of Portland, Me, amounting to
about 500, 0O0, has been left to trus-
tees, who have been directed to distribute
It ito benefit society, relieve distress,
charitable and benevolent associations,
objects and individuals" The matter Of
distribution is left entirely to the discre-
ton of the executors, the only c%estric-
ton being that they shall have disposed
of the entire estate in the manner in
Dictated within ten years.
George J.. Gould, physically, is in
striking contrast to not a few of the di-
rectors Of the Gould companies who
we're so actively identified with the late
Jay Gould. George Gould's fon1ness
for sports and athlete games l;eeps him
In excellent physical condition. He al
most invariably arrives at his Office in
the Western Union building at 1876
Broadway a little before ten a. m. His
pace is swift and only a good walker car
keep up with him. Often in the coolest
weather he comes with his overeoat on
his arm, and nearly always works in his
shirt sleeves while in his office.

Mrs. II. A. Van Sickle, 81 9th Ave,

trouble was hereditary in our family

times | suffered so severely that | wai
confined to my bed. The aching in my

HERE AND THERE.

The vermin, which are SO trouble
some among chickens can do little on
ducks and geese, because of the heavy
down; they are also subject to few
diseases, and easy to raise.
The most economic way to begin
with pure-bred poultry is to buy eggs.
Set them under a good hen. You may
raise some as good as the breeder
from whom you obtained them, and
which could not be purchased except
at a large price.
With all our wisdom and skill In
breeding, nc one has yet produced a
COW that will make as much milk
from discomfort as she will from com.
fort. An animal of extreme hardness
may be produced; but good, paying
cows are not built on those lines.
Some farmers spend enough time in
looking for tray stock to more
than keep their fences in good repair.
1t Is not pleasant work looking for
strays, especially when they are found
in some other mans lot, neither is it
conducive to neighborly friendship.
1t is often recommended that male
fowls be separated from the flock as
soon as the laying season is over. Wa
are not in sympathy with this, as it
is not natures method. The males
are the hens natural defenders aid
associates, and they are lonesome
without him.
There is often a 'runt" pig among
the others, and, II fed with the others,
he does not get his share. He should
be put in a pen by himself, or the
trough should be SO arranged that
each one will have an equal chance.
Stats nailed across the trough helps
some.
1t Is not always the largest hog that
pays. but the hog that will put on the
largest gain in the least time with the
least outlay of fed. A pig that drops
in April should make a good.sized hog
by the close Of the year. In order to
do this, it will be necessary TO have
him well bred, and then he should be
well fed.
The farmer who has confined his ef-
forts to two or three staple crops does
NOT know how his farm would respond
to some one or more special crops.
This is a day Of specialities and
many men can make a success grow.
ing some special crop. VINO are not
now making a good living growing

AND THEN he RANo OFF.
Thought He Had a Sure Case on the
Young Lady, But She Switched
Him Finally.

The manager of the big store stood stock.
still outside the little boxlike chamber
which held the telephone of the establish.
ment, for he was a very startled manager,
indeed. Within the chamber he could
hear Miss Jones, the typlst, speaking; and
this, says the Chicago journal, IL a scrap
OF the conversation the s~candalized man
overheard;
Il love you dear, and only you I'm
weeping my heart awayl Yes, my darling,
speak to me once more! | love you, dear
i love you sol"
The young woman rang off and stepped
out OF the cabinet to confront the angry
manager.
Miss JONES' he said, that telephone
has been fixed where 1t is for the pur-
pose Of convenience in conducting business,
and not for loyemaking in office hours. /
Nm surprised at you. Don't let it occur
again"
The young woman froze him with a
glance.
Il was ordering some new music from
the publishers for No. 3 department" she
explained, iclly.
And then the manager felt that this was
0 cold world, indeed.

Of railways.
More than $4,000 persons are en-

Only 4.19 per cent. of the passengers

ARMERAND PLANTER.
SUGAR CROP OUTLOOK.
lions For the Cane Sugar Crop
in louisiana.

The weather has remained propi'
tious for the planting OF the balance
of the seed cane for the sugar crop OF
1904, and the work is now practically
completed. All the seed cane was
found to be in excellent condition,
hence, there is ground for congratu'
lation that the crop has made a most
promising start.
Owing to the uncommonly favorable
weather during the winter, planters
have been able to properly prepare the
land and to plant the entire crop. No
seed having been spoiled, a full
acreage has been put in, and, as no
delays have been e%ncountred, the
planting has been completed weeks
ahead of the usual time. These facts
insure a good start for the growing
season.
While an early start Is not sufi-
cient to make a good acreage as well
as a heavy tonnage, It Is certainly the
essential element to a full acreage,
and in most cases to a full tonnage per
acre. OF course, a poor growing sea-
son may cut down the final results
as far as sugar yield is concerned,
but the very fact that the winter has
been compar itiyely dry should bring
a reasonable abundance of moisture
later on, when it is most needed.
The crop during the past two years
has been injured by drought during
the growing period, and last year this
defect was felt all the more, because
the crop had made a very late start,
and, therefore, backward before
the drought period was reached. An
equitable distribution Of moisture and
sunshine is needed during the entire
growing season. Should the crop just
planted experience such conditions,
there will be every chance of a big
sugar yield next fall.
Commenting upon the present sit
uation in the sugar district, the Louis
lana Planter says:
Favorable weather conditions are
still prevalent throughout the sugar
district, and the work of planting cane
has now been practically finished and
all the seed has been found to be in
excellent condition. We now have
before us the cultlvating season, and
It Is anywhere near as favorable in its
urpDfhAp nafnCf ne tho n1antinu nnrinl

COTTON BELT SITUATION.
The Principal Dangers Are boil
Weeyil, Ovcr-Production and
Neglect of Home supplies.

Cotton growers were never before
on a better financial footing or more
hopeful to the future than now, with
the possible exception of ante-bellum
days. Among their enemies, however,
are the boil weevil, danger of over
production and the neglect to raise
necessary home supplies. These must
be combatted while prosperity lasts.
Improve the home by a judicious ex-
penditure of surplus cash, raise meat,
vegetables, etc, for home consumption,
and plant no more cotton than can be
prepared for and fertilized properly.
The planter must move faster than the
boil weevil by adopting cultural meth
DDS.
There are many evils that may
befall the cotton planter. A general
European war, which the conflict be-
tween Russia and Japan may bring
on, would injure the cotton market,
and the price of the staple would
fall. while foodstuffs would increase
in value. This would injure the money
crop of the southern farmer and in
crease the price of necessary home
supplies. Overproduction hurts any
business, and to no other crop is 1t
more fatal or less excusable than to
cotton. "Wise acres told us a few
years ago that we would neve again
see ten-cent cotton, while knowing
one" now talks as If cotton will al
ways tiuctuate in the double figure
column. The conclusion of the one Is
as faulty as was the opinion of the
other. But the price of cotton can
be kept up to a paying figure by in
telligent Investigation. If not in past
years by reason of their financial con
dition, the cotton raisers are now in
a position 10 adopt this system,
Cotton is selling for four or five cents
more than in December, 1902, This
is partly owing to decreasing supply
and increasing demand, but not wholly
so. Speculation has had something to
do with this advance. A full, or even
an average crop, on an excessive acre
& such as is likely to be put in this
year. nay not only lose to the farmer
the present prices, but coupled with
speculation, which il is sure TO be,
may send prices as far below the cost
OF production as they are now above II.
Speculation is on the farmers side now,
because the supply is short. Keep it
there by raising home necesisties-then
all the cotton you, can.
The farmer should make his home
attractive, and prevent his children
from seeking a livelihood in the city,
To do this, "one-sided' farming must
be abandoned. Change the system of
education which teacher that it is de-
grading or beneath the dignity OF an
educated person to labor on the farm.
Acquaint the rising generation with the
fact that agriculture, rightly conducted,
calls for a higher order of intellect
than any other profession, is surest in
its returns to all the essentials of hap
pines. Agriculture is the backbone OF
the nation; the life Of the world; the
noblest OF all pursuits, and therefore
the most useful and honorable,-Cor.
