Less Fertilizer This Year.

Fertilizer tags and materials are moving slowly, and the indications are that the use of fertilizers will be reduced 25 per cent as compared with the use of them in 1904.
 Ihe reduction in the direction of fertilizers doubtless means a core spending reduction in acreage. The planting of 1904 stood at just about thirty-two million acres, gain of about four million acres. If the acre age drops Jack to that of 1903, while the use of fertilizers is reduced 25 per cent, the chances of surplus cotton next fall will be nil
 <. Men will not exert themselves to make great crops of cotton while the market price of it is below the cost of production. It is a matter that readily regulates itself. Too much cotton was made in 1904. Too little cotton may be made in 1905. The eff fective reductionlsts are those who are striving to shove the price of cotton down to cents. Just at present the price is climbing slowly up towards 8 cents, which may be said to be the average cost of production. On that basis fair crop would be planted-a crop that good weather could carry a trifle above eleven million bales, while unfavorable weather would cut it Ndown to about ten million bales.

Wheat Protected by Snow.

One year ago no snow covered the winter-wheat acreage, but at the pres ent time a great blanket extends from the Rocky mountains over all the great winter-wheat states. All the way down to Arkansas, Tennessee and Virginia the wheat is covered, and long has been covered, by a great white pro- tective blanket. The crop has never been so well protected from sudden and violent changes in temperature, and if the protection be extended two { weeks longer the crop will be safe.
 On the thirteenth day of this month the snow sheet then covered all of the country north of line drawn from Norfolk to Vicksburg and thence tc Little Rock and Fl Paso. This sheet has been curtailed somewhat, but the wheat fields of the great wheat states are still covered by blanket of snow that protects all growing crops.

Buslness-llke Advice.

'I see where a New York bank has showed a great deal of enterprise and at the same time tempted it's female depositors to save money to be put away in the bank" said a banker yesterday
 "The plan of this bank is an excel lent one, for it gives the women a safe place in which to carry money and also insures increased. deposits for the bank.
 'It is simply this: A garter with a pocketbook attached, Is given to every female depositor, and it is needless to saN it catches the feminine eye. The garters themselves are very stylish and serviceable, and the purse is so arranged that it can be slipped off of an old garter and replaced on a new one. The purse is a neat and convenient affair, and Is a great help to women.
 Many women with Jewels or money which .-.ey wished to carry with them, and did not care to wear, would drop them into their stocking. This was un- comfortable and at the same time caused an ugly knot on the ankle.'

SECRET OF cHARTREUsE SOLD.
Monks Get Nearly $3,ooo,ooo, Part of
 1t in Stock in New Concern.

Paris, February 19.-Snce the expulsion of the Carthusian Fathers from Grenoble there have been lawsuits between the monks and the official receiver appointed to wind up their property as to the own ership of the trademark of the famous Chartreuse liqueur.
 The monks adopted a new trademark but though they successfully preserved the secret of manufacture the new brand was regarded as inferior to the old in quality, owing to the impossibility of ob- taining the finest sorts of old brandy in Spain, whither the monks transferred their monastery.
 The deadlock is now at an end, the monks having sold the secret to an Eng fish syndicate, which will carry on the manufacture of the liqueur at the old factory and under the old conditions
 The price paid has not been published but I hear that 1t Is not far from s, ,00O,- 900. The monks have accepted shares in the concern in lieu of large proportion of this amount, and they will therefore remain the principal proprietors of the lidueur.
 The government has given It's consent to this arrangement, partially because 1t and partially on account of the wide spread distress caused in the Grenoble district by the removal of the distillery.

Einhtinu the Canal Commission.

The canal commission, seven in number, has become exceedingly un- popular. The members of it disagree among themselves, each being hard headed and stubborn There is but one thing they are agreed upon-ab- sence from the isthmus. None of them have spent much time there, and none of them ever would if left in office.
 The Mann bill, which has passed the House, abohshes the commission altogether What the Senate will do with the bill is uncertain, for 5oTl- missioner Walker and Senator Allison are related, and Senator Allison is power in the Senate.
 The Mann bill places the wyrk of canal construction in the hands oi tne President Under that bill he eould retain all the commissioners as con- sulting engineers or the like, or he could dismiss them. It is said that II the Senate should refuse to pass the Mann bill, or should amend t sn that il would not be satisfactory to the President, he will at once under ex- isting law give to the members of the commission specific assignments that would compel them to live the better part of the year at the isthmus.
 The commission as at present eon- stituted is in hot water. It's members will not live at the isthmus, and they are hindrance rather than help in the work of digging a canal. One of the liveliest fights of fighting ses- sion is apt to arise over canal bill, and the real essence of the bill will relate to a desire to get rid of the present commission. It has few or no friends outside of the Senate.

HIGH WATER MARK
Reached by Maine Hen That Layed
 251 Eggs.


 pt.dafor1 Me. February 17-After five ve,rs of careful breeding for egg produc- tion. regardless of all other accomplish nents. Professor George NJ. Gowell, a5rl- cultural expert at the University of Maine has succeeded in obtaining more than forty hens that have yielded more than 200 eggs apiece in a year, and has produced one hen which has leaid 25l eggs within twelve months, thus beating all previous reported records in egg yield
 This hen. known to the records as No. 61;. is a small Plymouth Rock of pure strain, though not shaped according to the standard type She is not only under the size demanded for perfect specimens of the breed, bu her wing barring Is im- perfect and her neck is too slim for her body.
 Tn spite of hsr defects, as viewed from the standpoint of the fancier, she Is in actual performance the most valuable hen in the world, being capable, under aver age Main conditions, of returning to her owner q net profit of 176 per cent. year.
 The figures. which have been passed up- on and approved by expert bookkeepers are deducted from counting the average cost Of food and subtracting the total ex- pense of subsistence from the income
 
 paid in Main which is eighteen cents dozen.
 Professor Gowell has devoted himself almost exclusively to breeding hens for a | specific purpose for the last five years. Reginning with 1000 hens, divided into focks of about twenty hens and two cockrels to a pen he has employed trap nests and been able to get at the exact performance of every bird.
 Tho first war the hest record was 220 ergs, laid by 8 Plymouth Rock bullet. | There were eleven other plymouth Rock hens that exceeded 200 eggs each the first year, the 1gh of the ZOO White Wyan- dottes only three reached the 200 class. 5, The next season the most prolific hens in their respective classes were nut in pens together. and eggs from these were kept for matching Again the Plymouth Rock outstripped the Wyandottes in egg yield by great majorities. so from that | on until the end no further attention was paid to the Wyandottes.
 Having matched male and female chick ems from the eggs of his hens of greater ability to lay eggs, Professor Cowell mated the selected stock and waited fer results. At the end of the fourth year he had produced twenty-siv hens that had laid more than 200 eggs each in a ] year, and one hen that beat all previous | hen records by laying 23s eggs. Again making his selection of breeding stock from the most prolific in his hens and mating the hens to coclSrels from the same strain, he at last secured the most prolific hen In the world, No 6l7. In speakin.; of his labors Professor Gowell says that in the problem of devel- | oping a flock of hens that will beget chicks to maintain or outstrip the an- eestral records Is beset with many difn- | oulties. After reaching a certain breed | ing the physical stamina of the fowls 1 degenerates and the birds die from too intimate mixture of allied bloods.

Salary of the Governor.

The Montgomery evening papers continue to discuss the salaries paid to Governor Jelks and to Governor Cunningham. The peoples mandate to Governor Jelks gives him right to the salary of the office, and the actual services of Governor Cunningham ren- der the salary paid to him just and equitable. The laborer is worthy of his hire. Both salaries should be paid, and the disbursing officers, acting un- der the advice of the attorney general, ]. are paying the two salaries regularly.
 A state that contains two millions of people, and taxable values in excess of three hundred millions should not quibble over the payment of two sal aries under the circumstances, and perhaps the quibbling is confined to the evening papers of the capital city.
 Governor Jelks was stricken down In the course of his public duties, and it would be strange indeed if the state of Alabama should refuse to pay his salary while he remains incapacitated, It certainly will not refuse to pay the salary the people voted when they placed William Dorsey Jelks at the head of the state government. Nor will they refuse to pay Governor Gun ningham for services rendered.
 What is needed is a cessation of an unsoemly discussion. The subjet is not one that needs to be discussed at all, simply because the disbursing off. cers of the state are acting under an opinion rendered by the attorney gen

THE GOLD IN THE OCEAN.

From the London Lancet
 The fact that sea water contained gold was first made patent, we believe, by the observation that the deposit on the cop per plating of jetty piles in sea harbors was comparatively rich in the precious metal. On the estimate that a ton of sea water contains approximately one grain, the yield would amount to something like POO tons of gold per cubic mile, and as the vol ~me of the worlds ocean Is estimated at 4OO,O0OOOO cubic miles, the total possible yield of gold would be no less than 100.- 900 GOO tons-a truly attractive prospect to the company promoter. We now learn that a serious attempt Is to be made to wrest a proportion. at any rate. of this vast wealth from the sea, and that com pany is about to start the necessary ma chinery and plant somewhat on the south coast of England.

CHICKEN FEATHERS
Blown of by Pressure From Within
 During Tornado.

From the St. Louis Republic The officials of the United States
 Weather Bureau have photographic proof
 of the accuracy of statements that it is
 possible for straws and feathers to be driven deep into board fences trees and other tough materials.
 If the camera is to be relied on, there appears to be warrant for the story that
 is frequently told as joke, that in some
 sections of our country the winds are so fierce that they blow the feathers off
 chickens and other luclsless birds
 D. B. Calvert, private secretary to Prof. Willis l.. Moore, has long been in- terested in cyclone phenomena. In fol- lowing up stories of remarkable occur rences in the storm centers of the west he has run across facts stranger than fiction.
 When the incredulous scoffers laugh at his yarns MT Calvert produces authenti- cated photographs to back up his state ments.
 MT Calvert. in explaining the laws of air pressure which account for many
 of the freaks of cyclones, says: "The air pressure at sea level is about fifteen pounds to each square inch. The pressure on the inside of objects, even
 the human body. is equal to that on the outside, thus preserving a proper equi- librium. Disaster immediately follows
 the removal of the pressure. Contrary to the popular belief. the danger attending tornadoes is created from within, and not from the outside. During tornado the wind rushes along at terrific speed. so that a vacuum is created in the center of the storm. The sudden exhaustion of the air in this fash ion relieves the outside pressure from all objects in the path of the disturbance. Tn the case of a building the result Is shown in the bursting out of the walls by the force of the unresisted inside pressure This is the explanation for the presence of so many buildings without
 walls that are found in the path of every tornado.
 sTt is the same way with chickens. The air is exhausted so quickly from the outside that the inner pressure blows off the feathers In the same way straws, feathers and other frail substances are | made to penetrate much harder mate rials I have photograp of splinter of wood that buried itself in a steel sec- ton of the Eads bridge, over the Missis- sippi river. during the St. Louis tornado"
