Temporarily Ratified.

The preacher had delivered a patriotic
sermon, and at the close of his DISCOURSE
he asked the congregation to sing "Amer5
ica"
Taken by surprise, the good deacon In
the amen corner, who usually led the mu,
sic, became confused and started the fa..
miliar hymn to a long meter tune, WITH
a result something like this:
my country, it's of thee-O gee!
Sweet land of liberty-te-hee

Then he came to dead stop. The sit.
uation, however. was saved by q schoo:
boy, who started the right tune and car
ried the congregation with him.

Some Facts About the Dairy.

In recent address by Prof Hills,
of the Vermont Station, he said that
we should be open-minded about a
good many dairy topics and accept
what proves to be wise. Late de-
velopments he says show that the
German standard, which requires ap-
proximately two and one-half pounds
of protein per COW, per day, is sub
ject to considerable modification. He
had seen good results from cows ca
pable of producing 250 speYnds of
butter or more a year, on a ration
containing one and one-half pounds
of digestible protein. Protein occu-
pies tor prominent place in the
Gerfna- standard.
He has found that very heavy
feeding does not give good financial
returns. A cow with all the clover
hay she will eat. good ration of
silage and six pounds of grain gives
better returns than one with eight
to twelve pounds of grain. The grain
fed in excess of eight pounds does
not return proportionate results.
Concerning the milking-machine
he considers it labor-saver, easily
cleaned, a close milker, better than
the average milker. 1t has been in
use for over three years. He believes
that for the dairyman having thirty
cows or more it will be good in.

Valuable to the Cotton Interests.

Washington.-One of the most i'm
portant devices in the history Of cot
ton culture particularly, has been
perfected by experts in the depart
ment of agriculture. 1t is a ma.
chine for the removal Of the fuzz on
cotton seed, and for the separation of
light from heavy seed. The process
has been in course of development
about two years, and it is the opin-
ion of the cotton experts of the de-
partment that its universal use would
effect saving Of about 10 per cent
of the entire cotton crop As the crop
of America amounts to about $780,
100000 a year it easily can be re-
allied that such saving would b.
of vast Importance. By the removal
of the fuzz from the cotton seed the
seed may be planted with an ordin-
ary gravity drill. By the ease With
which the smooth seed can be mani
pulated they can be planted in hill J
without unnecessary waste, and the
plants so located can be titled in two
directions. The machine, it is stated,
can be made at small expense, and,
as the invention is in the binds Of
the government, cotton planters who
use it will not have to pay royalty.

Explosion Kills Two.

New York-A dynamite explosion
at Homestead, N. j., killed, it is be-
lieved, two persons, injured at least
dozen others, wrecked fifty homes
in the village and shook towns and
cities within radius of ten miles.
The dynamite was the property Of
Bradley & Son, contractors, who are
building the Jersey end of the Penn
sylvania railroad North river tun-
mel. 1t was stored in a one story
structure and located within a few
hundred feet of where gang of sew
enty-fve men were excavating. The
engineer and watchman are missing,
and are supposed to be dead. Twelve
people were removed to hospitals
and others, it is thought were injured.
The shock of the explosion broke
probably every window in Homie
stead and at Union Hill, and Was
felt in this city, where many tall
buildings trembled perceptibly.
Thousands of people were awakened
from sleep.

Engineer Cremated.

Powder Springs, Ga.-Seaboard
Airline passenger train No. 38, from
Birmingham for Atlanta, ran into the
rear end Of parted freight train
one mile east Of here.
Engineer Charles Hutchins of Ced-
artown, Ga, Of the passenger train,
was cremated under his engine; the
colored fireman and baggagemaster
were seriously injured and the mail
clerk and Pullman porter slightly in
jured.
There were about fifty passengers
ON the train, and all were badly
shaken up, but only one sustained a
slight injury. Immediately after tn.
collision the wreckage took fire and
the entire passenger train, consisting
of Pullman sleeper, three day
coaches, baggage and express ear
and two Pullmans and several freight
cars were burned. A fagman had

To Cure ScaIy Leg.

Scaly leg is a filth disease, if it
can be called a disease, it being
caused by a tiny mite which burrows
under the scales of the legs and
toes.
1t lives and breeds there. The
remedy is very. simple and easy.
1t is only necessary to grease the
legs with any kind of grease. An
ointment of a third kerosene oil and
two-thirds lard is easily applied. and
if well rubbed on and in half dozen
times, couple of days apart, should
kill the mites, and the scales will
come off. Don't pull off the scales
that have become large. That hurts
the birds, something as pulling of
your finger nails would hurt you

Want License.

The Farmers Mutual Life Insur-
ance company recently incorporated
in this state, has flied mandamus
proceeding against Insurance Commits
sioner w. Q. Cole, to compel him to
issue TO the company a license to do
business in Mississippi under the in
surance laws. Mr.. Cole declined t.
grant the license claiming that there
is no legal authority fer same. He
contends that the legislature struck
out of the statute all the provisions
relating to the organization and oper-
ation Of mutual companies and that
this action meant that such concerns
should not be permitted to operate
in the state. The members Of the
company claim on the other hand that
they are operating under clause
.of law which permits mutual insur-
anee companies to organize and do
business so long as they do not I'M
dertake TO write public business, but
confine their policies to members of
the company exclusively.
The case will come up in the circuit
court which is to convene here next
Monday and will of course 90 to the
supreme court for final determination.

mr.. TILLMAN
Is SUSPICIOUS
SEEKS INFORMATION REL
ATIVE TO THE CANAL.
KOcUS POCUS IS IN GAME
Thinks the Senator From South
Carolina-Wants to Know More
Regarding Numerous Changes and
Why Oliver was Turned Down.

Washington = Mr.. Tillman intro
duced in the senate a resolution call
ing on the president for all papers re-
lating to the recent agitation of the
question of building the Panama ca
nal by contract and, in support oil
the resolution, said Mr.. Oliver had
complied with all the requirements
and his bid had been rejected after
a delay of month or more.
He expressed dissatisfaction with
the course Of the canal management,
and said his suspicion led him to be-
lieve the intention had been to COM
pei Mr.. Oliver to "let in some Of
his competitors who were too greedy
on the first bid'
Mr.. Hopkins and Mr.. Lodge made
objection to the present consideration
of the Tillman resolution and, TN
der the rules, it went over until an
other day.
In the course Of the discussion Sen
ator Carmack said Mr. Oliver had
spent from $4,000 to $4,000 of his
own money complying with the re-
quirements of the administration.
In speech supporting the resolu-
ton, Mr.. Tillman said the whole
country wanted to see the canal con
structed with as little scandal as
possible.
"There have been some remarkable
occurrences in connection with this
work." he continued.
Reference was then made to the
resignat; : of Wallace, who, he said,
was berated and abused by the sec
retary of war; then came the infor-
nation that Chairman Shonts was
retaining his railroad business as the
canal work was insufficient to occupy
his entire time, and then the state
ment that he was going out, and
then came Mr.: Stevens resignation.
(" Now comes the matter Of Mr.. Oil

Mr.. Oliver he said, was an efficient
and able contractor, and this bid was
the lowest but let hocas~ ~poeus IN
to the game.
As | understand, Mr.. Oliver has
complied with every requirement.
Now Oliver has disappeared, anu the
army engineers are said to be put
in charge of the job. I want little
infornation," concluded Mr.. Tillman.
Mr.. Culberson remarked that the
one great engineering problem was
the construction of the Gatum dam,
and he wished the resolution amend
ed so as to get the correspondence
on this point.

Doubling the Product.

Secretary Wilson certainly takes a
hopeful view of what may be done
in the way of increasing the pro-
ductive capacity of land by more
scientific farming. mo miracle
would be required" he says, Ito
double or even treble the production
of cotton per acre. The corn crop
can be increased by one-half per acre
within the fourth of century, and
yet without reaching the limit, and
the same may be said of wheat and
other crops. One-fourth of the dairy
cows of the country do not pay for
their feed, and more than one-half
of them pay no profit. The egg pro-
duction per hen will be increased by
at least dozen year within a gen.
Grafton, while some poultrymen fore
tell double that increase II the hens
of this year had each laid a dozen
eggs more than they did, the in
creased value of this production
would have possibly aggregated fifty
millions of dollars"

Root Crops For Cows.

Roots can form to advantage a
part of many rations, particularly
where silage is not available. They
contain too much water to form the
entire ration. Potatoes contain the
largest amount of digestible matter,
but are not readily eaten unless
cooked. Mangels are the heaviest
yielders, but contain so large a per-
centage of water that they are rather
expensive to handle. Sugar beets
contain much less water, but are
more difficult to grow, and do not
produce so heavy yield. Artichokes
often make a profitable hog feed,
where the hogs are permitted to do
the harvesting.

Murdered his Daughter.

Marietta, Ga.-John Bullard was
hanged here for the murder of his
daughter, Ruby Bullard at Powder
Springs, Cobb county, last Septem-
ber.
Teh case has attracted unusual at
tention from the fact that Billiard
has been suffering from consumption
AMI it appeared within the past week
that his death might result from the
disease before the day set for his ex-
cution.
An appeal for Communication of SEN
tence was refused by the prison board
Wednesday and the case came before
Governor Terrell for his approval o.
he finding of a respite. Petitions
for a delay were finally refused by
the governor.
