Havana, March 6.-The present SUI
gar crop will prove a financial failure
unless the price Of sugar advances.
Although the weather Is good and the
abundance of cane has enabled grind
ing to be carried on without Interrupt
ton the cost of production is exces.
sive. The cost of labor is nearly dou-
BILE the average for recent years, Span
ish silver is nearly at par and the rail-
road rates are very high. Planters
complain that they are working ex-
clusively for the benefit of the rail-
roads, which are charging from rs to
80 cents for hauling a sack of sugar
Of 325 pounds weight to port. It is
alleged that the principal railroad,
which recently increased it's stock 50
per cent, did so to hide the high divi-
dends it is earning. These, it is said,
are almost entirely due to the high
freight rates on sugar.

The Adder

A full grown adder may measure
two feet in length and about six
inches around the thickest part of it's
body. Its movements are sluggish, and
Of course the idea that it is capable Of
transferring it's head from one exrem-
ity to the other every six months is due
simply to superstition. The fact is
that the tail of this snake does not
terminate in point, as with ophidians
generally, but is stumpy and resem-
bles the head so much that it is diff
cult for an observer situated at dis
lance Of few yards to distinguish the
one from the other; hence the story Of
its being two headed, the fallacy Of
which no intelligent observer could
fail to detect-Pioneer.

THE MISSOURI HEN
The Best Paying Product in the State Total
Income for One Year $37, 100000

"The Missouri Hen" has come into
recognized by the legislature. The
creation of poultry board to look
after her interests is the deserved
tribute paid by the state.
Tie Missouri mule has done much to
spread the fame Of the Commonwealth.
His fame has been gained in spectacu-
lar ways. He has drawn cannon on
Transvaal battlefields, hauled dirt
away from Alpine tunnel diggings,
furnished the motive power for sledges
on the snowy wastes of Alaska and as.
sisted in the benevolent assimilation
of the Philippines.
No such glorious tales can be told of
the Missouri hen. She has done her
work in a quiet, unobtrusive way and
her service have been no less renowned
than those of the mule.
Figures are at hand to show the
values of the States surplus products,
or shipments. Comparisons are con-
vincing. The value of horses and
mules shipped from Missouri counties
in year is Sl3,00O,O0O. The value OF
poultry and eggs exported the same
year is s37,00O,o0O. The hen brings
more money into the state than do all
the grain, liquid, fish and packing
house and vegetable products.
IG should be remembered that the
value of poultry and eggs consumed
sat home" is probably twice that of
the shipment. In twelve months it is
enough to build an invincible fleet of
battleships.
1t is obvious that the hen deserves a
, special board to see that she has the
best possible treatment. And Missouri
