has fallen on evil times, but he is win ming his way back to popularity and fashion by his virtues, not the least of which Is gameness.
 For those who are fond of quaint ness and dry humor. the Scotch terrier may be recommended. He has a charm which is all his own; a person. ality as assertive as the native which has produced him. With the long body and short legs, his ears and wise expression, his austere manner and his exclusiveness, he may be said to be fascinating. At the same time he is cast in a strictly sober mould, and his spirits are restrained; more a dog to study than to romp with, and his idiosyncracies are worth diagnosing,
 So much for the short-haired terriers, which, in general way. may be con sldered town dogs. Stay, I have for gotten one-the bull terrier, once so fashionable but now almost dropped out of favor. Time was when the gilded youth considered a bull terrier as necessary an adjunct to his heels as a cavalryman does a spur, and sporting undergraduates were framed for this appendage to their persons. But nous avons change tout cela! The ball dog has risen from the ranks to fill the bull terriers place. His rise has. been not less wonderful than that of the modern millionaire, who has struck oil or gold, or trusts ,or guano. From be- ing the butchers dog" and employed to bait bulls or assist in their slaughtering, he has developed into a fashionable craze, whose chief claim to consideration is his ugliness. If a bull dog is your particular fancy, get toy bull dog" or a '(French bull dog" which will land you in the heights of canine fashion.

cows, II might be said, are fed as care fully as if they were humans who
 were somewhat inclined to indigestion.
 But it pays. There Is no doubt of that. As to Stock Raising.
 Scores of Alabama raised mules have been sent out from this farm. In one year no less than twenty-five mules have been sold and shipped by Mir. Thomas. The average farmer would consider this an important adjunct to his business, but here it is only a side issue as 1t were. The pasturage is so large and so fine that such a side line issue can be undertaken and carried out at minimum cost. Because of this same condition the raising of heifers for the market is also re- numerative side line. At times Mir. Thomas has been called upon to fill or ders for a car load of his fine Jersey heifers and being animals of birth and breeding they invariably bring very satisfactory prices. It is no surprise that under this condition fine horses are raised for the market. The pas truage, the forage and the solid feed are always stored away In the pig barns and the raising of high class horses Is no difficult undertaking. On an average probably half dozen fine horses are ready for graduation each year from the farm to the open mar ket.
 The entire place IS dellght to tne eye of the practical farmer or of the man who feels an interest in agricul- ture in any form. The striking fea- lures have herein been outlined. No adequate idea may be conveyed of the neatness and cleanliness of the bot toms and the terraced hillsides, for there are few if any farms in Alabama that can boast of more effective or bet ter kept terraces.
 A light is thrown upon the success of MT. Thomas by his firm assertion:
 q am an earnest believer in the in- tensive system of farming. The best forage field, the best cotton field, l have, were in years past practically abandoned as worn out. They have been built up now to high state of fertility and no fields give better re- turns. But the whole farm for that matter is cultivated under the Inten- give system. Much of the original for est of chestnut and oak trees which was on the farm when it was settled remains just as 1t was. The timber Ia no doubt valuable, but have never seen the necessity fo selling the timber or clearing the land for have now all tbe land that I can cultivate in the way I want to cultivate it.

Field of Science

 Having examined thoroughly the data of the physical sciences. the sa- wants in those branches of investiga- tions are concentrating their attention upon matters of detail in order to per feet their scientific schemes. There Is growing concern in some quarters lest the field of science shall become SO narrowed that there will be no worlds for future Investigators to conquer. To pass in review the work of a Darwin, a Huxley, a Calico, a Copernicus or a Dana is an informing exercise, but there is nothing creative about 1t.
 The question is beIng seriously asked, what has science to offer as an incentive to future investigators? Or,

 Mexico has been steadily growing in prosperity for 8 quarter of a cen- tury, thanks to the establishment of orderly government. No longer Is Mexico synonymous with perpetual fac- ton fighting. of the most trucu1ent type. Diaz rules and order is main tained steadily, but without recoursa to severity As the people have no revolutions to divert their time from business, trade and commerce steadily increase. In twenty years imports have risen from $20, 100000 to s75,000.- 900, and the exports from s7.000.000 to S43 1000, 900. Of the foreign trade of Mexico the bulk IS with the United States. Mexican exports to this coun- try which were $4,346,364 thirty years ago. were $43,633.720 in 1904. Mexico imported from the United States last year goods valued at $45,844,720, against $5,e46,s39 in 1874.

Rntter-Making Food.


 Next in favor upon the Thomas place as a forage producer is the mellow clover, a new plant. but which has SO far given excellent results as food for butter making cows. Nor are the old style forage plants abandoned or discounted there. Wheat, oats. rye and shredded corn are given due attention.
 The success of the butter making enterprise is without reservation at trIbuted to Mrs. Thomas. It was she who undertook it and who found that the careful looking after details would result in unqualified success both as to the financial returns and to the ex- pansion of the business. The business grew so large, however, that an eX- pert dairyman from the North was se- cured to look after the big herd of Jerseys and to superintend the manu- facture of the yearly 5000 pound out pnt of butter. Mrs. Thomas has still the superintendence of the enterprise, for if is generally agreed there bouts, that she knew more about the practi- cal workings of the business than any expert dairyman who could be import ed.
 This rich Jersey milk Is immediate Iy after the milking run through cream separator an ingenious contriv- ance in which the principle of centrl- fugal power is the ruling force and the basis It is a circular revolving affair. out of which the skinned milk pours from the outer side of the reservoir while the cream in a smaller stream pours from near the center.
 Once out of the separator the cream is put in deep cans. that 1t may "ripen" for twenty-four hours. The cream Is then put in patent moving churns from which it emerges the rich Jersey butter of golden hue. It is then skill fully worked and pressed into golden bricks upon which are stamped the monogram, w. c. T."
 These bricks are neatly rolled into white paper and packed for shipment by express. Tn the winter time the cakes are packed in cans; in hot weth- CT they go into the outer world in wooden boxes in the center of which s d receptacle for ice.
 The greatest trouble MT. Thomas has found, that the dairyman or stockman must experience in keeping blooded cattle Is the Texas or tick fever. It has been found that cows brought down from the North must, almost cer- tainiy experience this fever, either In a light or a heavy form. To the man who owns a hundred head of fine Jer sey cows, each worth S35, this fever Is no small mepace.
 The butter making cows are given solid food on the Thomas farm, In ad- dition 70 the green forage food made as if by an approved formula The

A New HaIf-Fare Rule.

Harper's Weekly.
 A novel and somewhat scientific method has recently been devised for the railways of Switzerland owned by the government to determine the half fare limit for children. Instead of an age limit, which has been the custom hitherto, standard of height Is to be employed, and a gauge and scale will be placed at each ticket office, so that the agent can tell at a glance whether the child requires a full fare. It is assumed that this is an equitable method of doing away with consider able imposition on the railroads, while at the same time children of small size who are above the legal age would be correspondingly benefited.

section for from SO to Sc per acre.
While they are good, they are not near

illustrate their value it was
stated that a few wears ago a plat Of
ground containing seven acres was
bought for an insignificant
sum. and now the owner
will not dispose of it for $4,000.
This farm is operated by Mr. W. III.
Bray, and last year he realized from
it $4,000. having marketed three crops
from it. 1t was first planted in cab
bage, and though he did not get a
good stand, he shipped from it 746
barrel crates of cabbages. He next
planted potatoes and gathered 436
barrels of these. Lastly the land was
planted in corn, and produced Sd
bushels to the acre. The three crops

Another experienced trucker real
lied $1.530 from the crops of a single
