Gadsden May 29-(Speelal.) )--The fol. lowing facts in regard to the number of cars handled in the Gadsden district, show some remarkable figures when compared to other districts of the state.
 The report shows that there were han died in the state in the month of April last year 5S,7E cars, and this year for the same month, 71,S4 or gain of over 21 per cent. The report is particularly interesting as 1t reflects the great de- velopment now going on in the Gadsden district. The city of Gadsden, Alexander City and Attalla are practically one city as they all touch limits and are con- nected by three steam roads and an electric line, handled during last month 1887 cars at the various industries and business places, which is one-hfteenth of all the cars handled in all Alabama.
 In order that Gadsden's importance may be shown by comparison with other cities 1t Is found in the above report that she handled more cars than the great city of Mobile with it's 10000 popu- lation, more than the combined number handled by the cities of Tuscaloosa, Sell
 ma, IaudueBa, DeCdLurs OtmupoilS, Huntsville and Montgomery. As many as the combined cities of Decatur, De- mopolls, Annlston and Montgomery. More than the combined cities of Tuscaloosa, Selma, Talladega, Opelika, Eufaula, De- catur, Troy, Demopolis, Huntsville, Flor ence, Tuscumbia, Dothan and East Bir- mingham. More than Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbla combined. More than twice as many as either Anniston or Montgomery. Singly, more than East Bir- mingham, North Birmingham, Selma and Decatur combined; more than Bessemer, with all her furnaces and big pipe works and other numerous industries, nearly twice as many as East Birmingham and North Birmingham combined, with their industries; more than two-thirds as many as Ensley with all its great furnaces, tho great steel, wire, rid and nail mills of the Southern Steel company and the immense steel and iron plants of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, the greatest plant of it's kind In the south, where they arc now mak- gl n a

FARM RAISING.

h 2
ehs HOG 4 AEohev afalre Vghen gudi-
ciopnlg Ied.
The high price of pork this fall Is
likely to make the farmers who have
no tat hogs to sell wish that they had
few and those who have a few wish
that they had more, writes NJ. r. Ames
in American Cultivator. With corn
selling at IS to 20 cents bushel ut re-
tail and dressed hogs at ~ to 8 cents
pound, it reminds us that there should
be profit in keeping hogs If there is
truth In the old saying that "a bushel
of corn will make ten pounds of pork"
But really that does not fairly repre-
sent the feeding capabilities of the best
breeds Of hogs at the present time and
with a properly mixed ration for pigs
kept in thrifty condition, growing
every day from birth and fattened at
Six or seven months old.
The experiment stations seem to
agree in saying that a judicious mix
ture Of cornmeal, bran and skim milk
will make more growth and the meal
and milk fatten the hogs faster, thus
making pork cheaper than when grain
Is used without milk or milk without
grainS But so many farmers now sell
their milk If near large town or city
or patroniZe the creameries and cheese
factories that it Is little use to talk to
them about the value Of skim milk I'M
less they will establish a separator at
home and send off only their cream.
There are, however, always waste
vegetables in the field and garden that
would be worth more to feed to the
hogs than to carry to market, and
many of them are worth as much raw
as they would be cooked. The cider
apples and perhaps some Of those
which are put in the middle of the bar
rel by some farmer would be better
cooked and with the grain mixed with
them than to be used as they are.
Seldom is there field Of corn which
at husking time does not show some
soft, unripe corn, which hogs or fatten-
ing beeves will eat greedily, husks,
cobs and all, and turn into good meat.
So, too, there will be unripe pumpkins
0AO 14OaSACS ao WCAA uo luC
charitable roots, which are as valuable
raw as cooked.
All Of these things the hogs will take
and pay price for them in good pork
II they are fed mixed in proper proper
ton with the grain ration. They are
valuable not only for the food elements
in them, but as helps to digest the more
hearty grain food and to promote a
healthier condition and thus make
more wholesome meat. To breed and
fatten two filters of pigs year, killing
one as soon as the other is weaned
or before, should be the aim Of the
farmer. And in addition to that he
should, by a liberal use Of bedding in
the pens and absorbents in the yards
make two good piles Of manure to
grow crops upon with which to feed
another year another crop of meat.

Most of the farmers out on the
prairie are now busily engaged
with spring work and are rushing
things as rapidly as possible in
order to get the grain sown at the
earliest possible date. Although
it is rather late for such work it is
believed little difference will be
noticed in the growth of the grain
as the ground is now getting warm
er and the grain sown will make a
more rapid growth than usual.
Judging from the amount of mois-

year should break all previous
records.

THE HORSEMAN

No horse can receive too much groom
ing when stabbed and worked, says
American Cultivator. 1t should in all
cases be groomed, at any rate once
q day and as thoroughly as circum-
stances will permit. In grooming a
horse the chief things are to apply
plenty Of vigorous friction to the skin
and to remove all loose dandruff from
the coat. The mere removal Of super
fetal dirt and caked sweat is OF little
use and by no means constitutes
grooming. The body brush offers the
best means of removing loose dandrum
from the skin and of cleansing the lat
ter, while it is also most useful for
applying friction. Brushes answer well
for the purpose Of removing superficial
dirt, dried mud and caked sweat from
the coat, but there their usefulness
ends. Hay pads and the hands are
good means of applying friction after
full use has been made Of the body
brush.
Name and tail should receive due at
tention when the horse is grOomed.
These appendages must be kept clean
and free from dandruff. If it is neg
lected to brush the name and the tail
the accumulated dandruf is very liable
to give rise to an irritated condition
Of the crest or DOCK and this will cause
the horse 10 rub and dishgure these
parts.

In England have now taken up the sub

OF the Congo Free State. Overwhelm-

to light daily and greatly strengthen
Ing the hands OF the Congo Reform
party here.
The Archbishop OF Canterbury, pri-
mate OF all England. expressed his
view OF the church's duty In relation
to the Congo atrocities I'm these words:
Tho subject or the Congo Is one on
which the church dare not remain ST.
lent; the facts are too glaring, too
frmiy established to be matters OF
mere opinion.
During the last decade we seem TO
have drifted into something rivalling
the horrors OF the old slave trade. IL
this wrong goes on the church must
keep on protesting until the wrong Is
righted."
Sir Harry Johnstone. the famous
African traveller and administrator
who originated the proposal TO annex
the Congo State. said:
"The kernel OF the mischief In the
Congo is that the natives proprietary
rights over their own country have
been absolutely ignored and vested
without any deed of cession in a for
eign absentee who never saw the
Congo and who has been selling their
lands over the heads of the inhabitants.
King Leopold of the Belgians has
never even published any accounting to
show how he has acquitted himself.
how he has expended the funds derived
from the country which Europe in
trusted TO his supervision. This in
herently vicious system must end"
Sir Charles Dixie declared that Bel
gium can annex the Congo State only
II she is prepared to admit the rights
OF the natives over those OF all coces-
sionaires. Sir Charles is very doubtful
about the existence OF the vast natural
resources which the Congo is popularity
supposed TO contain.
''The supply OF rubber is practically
exhausted In the Congo and no new
Industries can be started In the coun-
try" said he. "The political situation
is this:
Belgium is discussing the question
OF annexation, but she can annex the
Congo only with the consent of the
other powers. Should the Belgian solu-
ton fail, France has the right to pre-
empt the country, right fully ad-
mitted by Great Britain. Should France
not care 10 exercise her right. as
would he the case. probably, the powers
holding African territory adjoining the
Congo State would step in. These
powers are Great Britain and Germany
But this country would not touch the
Congo. The ultimate solution seems
to be an arrangement between France
and Germany for the Congo's admins
tration."
