There is no success which is half so sat- isfactory as that won by ones own fore sight and shrewdness. A large measure of success is unobtainable by the average man of small income.

 The history of mining does not chronicle conditions such as are now known to exist at the Capuzaya property. They are unique
 and amaze the most experienced mining
 men and experts.
 The stock of the Capuzaya Mining Com
 pany is as safe an investment as a first
 mortgage on the most valuable real estate
 and 1t will pay ten times as much dividend. Nowhere can an investment be found com
 bining the elements of safety and extraor-

 Corners address to the Democratic voters of Alabama treats fully the regulation of railroad and other simi- lar rates. but he does not in a casual way mention any other interest in the State. His address is supposed to be his most concersative ideas of the need of our State. The State government has no consideration at his hands. The equalization of taxes, immigration. the schools, child labor, agricultural interests. confederate pensions and numerous other phases of State gov ernment have no consideration at his hands, but he raises the cry of rail- road rates so high nothing else can be heard. He comedies no honesty of Intention or conviction to Dr. Cunning ham and brands him as an inconsis- tet politician dominated by railroads. and to Cunningham's friends and sup- porters he accords the same shortcom lngs. Thus we see the dominating characteristics of the man who asks the people to elect him Governor. We don't believe the voters will do it; they want man with more than on" Idea.

subduing a Savage Stallion.

Cor of Breeders Gazette.
 The problem of subduing an enraged stallion has called for instant solution this season as for many year in the past, at the cost of maimed and crip- pied human beings, for lack of effec- tive answer. When the fifth of a cent will purchase absolute, positive and certain protection 1t seems a pity that men should be killed or maimed for lack of it. To begin with let me say that the kindest stallion is liable sud- denly to develop temper. especially with a stranger. and while l have all my life endeavored to have the nerve to meet unavoidable and necessary chances I have never deemed it prudent to take a needless chance with anoth- CT mans stallion. Thirty-f1ve years ago I owned a Black Hawk stallion noted for his docility. Women and

Farm Boys Ambition.


 Col J. E. Kiliebrew in Southern Farm
 Magazine.
 Many farmers have sons who wish to engage in the manufacturing industry. First of all, let them be equipped with a good English education as founda- tion. and upon this foundation technf- cal skill and scientific knowledge should be grafted. Even If the sons desire to follow the vocation of their father and be tillers of the soil, they should prepare themselves for thefr calling by attending some good agri. cultural college where the secrets of nature are investigated and where those laws that lead to success are taught by precept and illustrated ex- ample It is a rare thing now for ig- norant farmers to succeed. Long practice in certain lines, 1t is true may give them valuable experience, but in the march of the new agriculture old practices are more and more discard- ed and new methods adopted.

running furrows about three feet apart and dropping pieces of sod about the same distance apart in the furrow, pressing it down we'll with the foot Of course this should be done in as wet weather as possible, to make the sets take hold readily In year or two the whole surface of the held VIII De covered with Bermuda.
 Second--In the fall would go over the land with a harrow. and SOW white clover. bur. clover. and vetch; and to this in the lime section of East Mis- sisstppi. I would add red clover, blue grass and melilotus
 Third-The more grass and varieties of 1t you get in a pasture the quicker stock will i'll and lie down. They fat ten faster and tramp the grass or pas- turc less, a great item often overlook cd. For this reason alone. the same area in pasture divided into separate plots or fields will give far better re- suits when the stock Is changed from one to the<other once. say. in three or four weeks. Of course circumstances alter cases in pasture as in other things. I have a fine pasture com posed of Johnson grass. melilotus, bur clover, and white clover. In lime sec ton where Johnson grass Coes well, 1t is easier to get Johnson grass pas turs than a Bermuda pasture; and when the pasture Is divided and the cattle are changed about. as should be done for all pastures. I consider It equal to Bermuda on upland or well drained land.
 Fourth-Any good pasture land will pay as we'll acre per acre. all the area being figured, as any farm land, after figuring out labar, etc. to say nothing of the land improving while in pasture
 Fifth--I consider 1t loss Of time and money to plant red clover. melilo- tus. or blue grass on other than lime soils. I speak from twenty-five years experience in pasturing in East Mis- sissippi, and have closely observed pastures in other parts of the State. l presume 1t would be needless for me to say that lespedesa would be valua- ble to any pasture in Mississippi; but 1t will naturally get into any pasture in the State.

HITCHCOCK TO RETIRE.
Washington Hears Marion Butler VIII
Succeed Him.

Washington, March 9-Secretary
Hitchcock is again slated to leave the
cabinet, according to Frank Munsey's
paper, the Washington Times, which
says:
Marion Butler, former senator from
North Carolina, one time chairman OF
the national committee Of the Peoples
party, and recently a stump speaker in
behalf of President Roosevelt, is said
to be the White House selection for sec
rotary Of the interior to succeed Secre-
tary Hitchcock. It is rumored Mr..
Hitchcock is to retire inside the present
year. Senator Butler has been a fire.
quent visitor to Washington of late.
Tt was in 1904 that Senator Butler
came over to the Republican party. In
that year he stumped Indiana for Roose-
welt His accession was regarded as
highly significant, for it indicated that the
radical element, of which he was a rep
resentative, when forced to the choice
between Roosevelt and Parker, preferred
the former. Like Tom Watson, he made
it very plain that as between the two
he preferred the radical Republican to
the ultra Democrat.
Mr. Butler came into the senate in
1895, when the Populists were near the
crest of the wave that swept so many
men into that body. Butler was only 80
years old when he was elected senator.
He had been Democrat and news
paper editor. He left the Democratic
party in 1892 the year in which General
Weaver was the Populist candidate for
president, and became a Populist."

CALL ON ROOSEVELT.
Standard Oil OmciaIs Visit the White
House

Washington. March 9.-H H.
Rogers and John D. Archbold of New
York, officials of the Standard OIL com
pany, were in conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the White House last
night. Neither would discuss the ma
ture of their call. They arrived in
Washington early in the evening.
It was impossible to learn anything
regarding the conference which the
Standard Oil officials had with the
president. Very few knew of their
visit and the fact of their engagement
to call on the president was not known.
While it is possible the call had some
connection with the subject of a mes
sage which President Roosevelt sent to
congress calling attention to the fact
that without an extra appropriation
and the power to compel the attend
ance Of witnesses the TlIman- Gillespie
resolution which he signed to investi-
gate alleged railroad monopolies Of
coal and oil Will amount to very little
and might achieve nothing, tn ere was
nothing on which any definite state
ment Of the purpose of the conference
could be based. Both officials repair
ed to their hotel after leaving the
White House.

OSLER IDEA PREVAILS.
In Committee Report on Legislative
Appropriation Bill.

Washington. March 9--The house
committee on appropriations has agreed
to report a legislative, executive and
judicial bill carrying appropriations
aggregating $2s,1S4.181 as against
S29.822,580 for 1906. The amount
agreed on is a reduction of S1,135,57S
from the estimate submitted to the
committee by the various departments.
Salaries are carried in the bill for
sixty-hve less persons than were pro-
