NEGRO Education.

Memphis, Dec. 20. Several ad-
ditional delegates arrived today
to attend the meeting of the Ma
tional Association Of Agricultural
and Mechanical Colleges for Ne
groes. Today's meeting was
opened with prayer by Rev. John
II. Grant.
Interesting papers were read on.
the following subjects: The

free mail delivery. It is scarcely
possible to estimate the amount of
convenience and comfort this is
to the farmers living far from
postofices. Formerly itwas nee
essarY for the planter himself to
ride from five to fifteen miles fol
his letters, or else to stop a hired
hand, and with the hand mule
from the plow, entailing thus
much loss of time and labor from
both man and beast. The conse-
quence was that mail was a rare
thing in the plantation homes; the
farmers bought or sold at random,
being, through lack of informa-
tion, unable to take advantage Of
any fluctuation in the markets.
Now a rider in the livery of the
Government comes to these isolat-
ed dwellings daily, bi-weekly or
tri-Weekly, as the density or
sparseness Of population dictates,
and the farmer gets his letters and
papers without loss Of time and
without annoyance of any kind.
1t is only about seven years ago
that this rural service was started
as an experiment, $40, 900 being
the entire appropriation made for
the purpose, and even that being
hampered with a conditional
string. " But the experiment
was a success, far beyond the an
ticipation of the promoters. The
country was rayenousIy hungry
for its mail, and from all direc-
tions and sections came demands
and pIeadings for these free deliV-
cry routes. These routes were
established at an average rate Of
800 a month, until on the 1st Of
last October there were 27,135
routes in actual operation, with a
waiting list of 1850 more to be
officially acted on; and the appro-
priation for their maintenance
and the establishment of others
like them had swelled from the
original SAC, 900 to sac, O,816, 900.
This seems like an immense sum,
but it is money we'll spent, for it
is estimated that these routes put
the mail within easy reach of H.
|2l3,750 people who hitherto were
at the mercy of chance or of grave
personal Inconvenience where
their communication with the out
side world was concerned. The
city man, accustomed to many
daily deliveries, does not realize
what the dwellers in the rural dis
tricts have suffered nor what this
new service means to them; it
comes to them as one Of the great
blessings Of q progressive age.
By it the isolated farmer is kept
in constant contact with the mark
cts of the world and SO knows
when to sell and when to withhold
his produce, a knowledge which
often means to him large savings.
There have been In recent years
many improvements in and addi-
|tions to the postofice service Of

Respectable Little Shop in Paris
Father Made Trouble

Paris, Feb. 2O.-"Napoleon Leon
reads the sign over a small stationery
store in the Latin quarter. The vender
Of newspapers, magazines and notions
bears a peculiar likeless to the great
Emperor. His claim as grandson of the
conqueror Of Europe is well established.
The father Of this petty merchant was
the well known Count Leon, for whose
sake Napoleon, when ON his deathbed,
revised his last will and testament, add
ing clause that gave the son ''of the
beautiful Eleanor" his sister, 100000
francs cash and the interest of a certain
capital. In his last will Napoleon says:
Paragraph 33: at would please me if
little Leon would study law, providing
he has leanings towards the judicial ca
reer." Leon, when he grew up, had
leanings only for wine, women and song
and though he lived until 1894, the Ma
poleon family never ceased having trou-
BILE with him. Count Icons son, on the
other hand, is a very respectable man.

Cure for the Dog Evil.

The Rural New Yorker says: The
only cure for the dog evil is a law re-
curing the owner Of one male dog to
pay small sum for metal tag, with
the name and address Of the owner
and the date, placing practically pro-
hibitory tax on additional dogs and
female dogs, making it the duty Of the
proper officers to kill all dogs not tag
ged. When dog is killed while wor-
rying sheep or other domestic animals
or fowls, the tag would show the own
er and recourse could be had for dam
ages done. A law something like this
was on the statute books Of Indiana
several years ago and worked well;
the revenues from that source We're
trebled, and the dog population, de-
creased tWO-thirds, but for some rea-
son it was repealed. If a majority
Of farmers could be induced to put
small flock Of sheep on their farms
sentiment would soon be nodded to
back such a law. Now the dog owners
are in the majority and sentiment
trends the other way. The same COM
plant may be made in most sections
Of the country.

Profit in Swine.

A young, thrifty, growing hog will
any other kind of farm stock. Every
farmer who has not an extensive range
for his hogs should SOW rye to give
them a green winter feed Rake up all
the corncobs, burn them, and when in
the form Of bright Goals, throw water
on them, thus making charcoal for the
hogs. A little salt may be added. Try
to feed young hogs regularly; never
feed late, especially the evening meal,
Watch the hogs closely to see if their
digestion is good, for If they are not
healthy they will not thrive we'll. 10
get your hogs ready for market they
should be on full feed Of corn; but
after they are as fat as they can be
without detraction from their comfort,
put them on the market at once, for
they are unsafe to keep, because hogs
fattened on the corn diet are very ten
der and cannot stand any abuse or dis
ease. The hogs kept for breeding pur-
poses should never be put on corn diet,
but require feed that has more bone
and producing quality. Keep a
few more good brood sows; they will
prove to be the best investment on
the farm before another year is gone.
Don't waste good corn by feeding it to
hogs in the mud. Your hogs will be
worth the extra cost Of feeding
trough. Try keeping an account with
your hogs; charge them with every
thing they eat and give them credit
for everything they bring in, and you
will be surprised to see how much bet
ter they pay than any other animal on
the farm. All kinds Of stock are a
source Of profit on a good farm. And
the farmer who thinks he can leave off
stock growing is sure to find his mis-
