viii Not Accept chalrmanshIp.

Brocktop, Mass, July I2.-Friends
OF Ex-Governor VIM. l.. Douglass sre
certain that he will not even consider
the Craftsmanship of the democratic
national committee which according to
reports from Lincoln will probably be
offered him. His friends say that since
he would not take the nomination for
vice president 1t is less likely that he
would accept the job of RAINING the
campaign which would mean far m IRE
work and considerably less glory.

DIvERsIFICATION Of crops Is the secret
of successful farming, according to the
division of farm management OF the De-
pertinent of Agriculture, and practcal
denomination IN various sections OF the
south has proven the axiom. Land
which is persisteutly planted to one crop
from year to year gradually but surely
deteriorates. There is land in many Sec
tiops of the south, on which cotton was
formerly proftably grown, but which
now has had to be abandoned, sfer vain
efforts and big expenses for ieitiIlzer'
The same is true Of tobacco and cane
But this supposedly worn-out land is
potept with wonderful possibilities In
the cultivation of some other crops
aliaIfs, hay, cora, vegetables, etc. The
depsrtment rather condemns the practice
of the southern farmer in planting every
sougra inch Of his acreage and pinning
his faith TO ore crop. Mt TINT there is
any desire on the part Of the department
TO decrease the acreage Of staples such as
cotton. cane or tObacco-but simply be-
csuse nine times out of ten diversified
crops mean larger profits for the farmer
It is claimed that the southern agrlcul-
turslist loses sight Of the fundamental
principle Of farming, which is that he
should raise crops varied enough and in
sufficient quaint ty to feed his own fam
ily.

BACTERIA AND MONEY.

In a meteorological study of soiled
paper money, published in the Popular
Science Monthly. Warren W. Hilditch.
of Yale University, found the numbers
of bacteria present on the bills ranged
from $4,000 up to $50, 900, with an
There seemed to be no connection be-
tween the noun of dirt and the mum
Der of bacteria present: the cleanest-
looking bill that he used had next to
the highest count (405, 000), while the
bill that looked the dirtiest had but
5000. When a bill has been In circu-
lation for a short time and has become
somewhat cracked, and it's peculiar
glaze worn off, the bacteria very easily
cling to it without the presence of dirt
and grease. All NEGOTIATIONS gave
negative results, the time limit being
placed at from six TO seven weeks. The
alfthor concludes. after a careful study
of the subject, that money constitutes
an unimportant factor In the transmits
sion of disease We want and GER
tainly need a more frequent redemp-
ton of our soiled and worn bills, yet
the facts and evidences at hand do not
justify us i'm alarming the public need
lessly by rash statements concerning
our currency. Admitting the possibility
hat money may act as a Medium OF
transmission, certainly the failure of
any virulent disease germs to manifest
themselves in the foregoing expert
ments will allow us to feel a bit easier
in regard to dirty money.
