To cut up q hippopotamus is no easy task. In some places the hide is ol- mOsttwo and a half inches thick. and before you have got through bands breadth your knife has completely lost It's edge and requires to be resbarp- ened. The head and the feet are put on one side to be preserved as trophies of the chase. while. the remainder of the flesh is cut into long, thin strips, which, after they have been dried by hanging them on the tree branches, will keep good for very long time The ivory of the teeth and tusks, which is of very fine quality. used to be employed almost exclusively in the manufacture of false teeth. Nowa- days, says the Wide World Magazine. it Is turned to all the purposes of ordi- nary ivory. As for the hide. cut into strips 1t is made into sticks, which are as good defensive weapons as one could wish to possess. Treated with oil. they become transparent as tortoise shell and look quite pretty. Out of hippopotamus hide bullock drivers likewise make thongs for their whips which are positively everlasting and fetch relatively speaking quite good price.

FILLING RUTS IN A ROAD.
How the Work of Repairing Them
Should Be Done.

With earth roads there is a pro-
nounced tendency to rut, and when
rutS begin to appear on the surface
great care should be used in selecting
new materials with which they should
be Immediately filled. says Il bulletin
of the department of agriculture.
Every hole or rut in the roadway If
not tampcd full of some good material
like that Of which the road is con-
structed will become filled with water
and will be made deeper and wider by
each passing vehicle. \ hole which
could have been filled with Il shovelful
Of material will soon need cartful.
The rut or hole to be repaired should
be cleared of dust, mud or water and
just sufficient good fresh earth placed
in it to be even with the surrounding
surface after having been thoroughly
consolidated with the FOUNDER. Sod
should not be placed on the surface.
Neither should the surface be ruined
by throwing upon it the WOrnout ma
terial from the cutters alongside. RutS
and holes should not be filed with

Corn Cultivation.

The corn plant will not thrive among
weeds nor in hard packed dry soil
writes Kansas farmer in American
AgriculturiSt. The object Of cutiva-
tion is to keep the soil in proper con
dltion for the growth of the corn. The
weeds will all be rooted nj in properly
cultivating the corn. 1t is not essential
as to how deep or how shallow or how
often the corn is cultivated as it is
that 1t is cultivated when it needs It.
Especially after every heavy rain the
soil is packed and should be stirred as
soon as dry enough. Cultivation must
continue during the whole growing
season and NOT stop with the third or
fourth time over The larger varieties
especially must be cultivated with one
horse after the corn is too big for the
two horse culrirators.

similar roads In the United States,
These roads range from twenty to
thirty feet in width, while in our mid
die and western states, where traffic is
comparatively light, we take land Of
an average value of 500 per acre and
cut it up with rOadways siXty-six feet
in width. practically two-thirds Of the
same being given over to weeds, which
furnish an ineXhaustble supply of
seeds for the adjoining farm lands.
The farmer in Germany who has con-
quered the weeds on his ground need
have no thought Of them being started
again from uncultivated or uncared for
land along the roadways. There are
no weeds, no mud, no chuck holes, no
sand stretches In the roads.
One of the simplest and most practi-
cal measures that could be taken for
the betterment Of roads in the United
States would be TO reduce their width
to from one-third to one-half Of what
they now are.
In the United States public high
ways in the states given below may be
estimated as follows: Minnesota, So
/ coo; Wisconsin, G0,0O0; Michigan. co.
600; Iowa. 10000; Kansas. 10000; Ne
braska. 10000; Missouri. $4,000; I'LL
nois, 10000; Indiana, 10000; Ohio. So
600; total, 100000 miles. Reducing the
width Of these public highways, which
now average siXty-slX feet. to thirty
six feet would give back to the farm
ers of these states for cultivation
100000 acres of generally tillable
land. which at an average valuation of
500 per acre would mean the restora-
ton to the producing values Of the
states named OF $3.50, 100000.

A Ruinous Practice,

The practice of using a beef bull on
a herd of dairy cows for the purpose
of improving the vealing qualities of
the calves usually results in IA con
fused mixture of dairy and beef quail
ties in the workin. herd itself. Such
system is finally disastrous TO the
dairy interests. for it is not only bar
rirr to Improvement. but effectually
blocks the transmission of what desir-
able or exceptional qualities may be
represented in the herd.

EUFAULA TO GULF
 BY WATER ROUTE
COTTON IS TRANSPORTED BY RIVER TO APALACHICOLA- TRIcT ASSOCIATION OF K. OF P. IN SESSION.

Eufaula, September 10-(Special. IThe first experiment in reaching the deep sea waters with freight by river route from this city was witnessed here yesterday, when 650 bales of cotton were transported by boat to Apalachicola, where it will be lightered over the bay and will thence be conveyed to Mobile by ocean steamer.
 It has been carefully figured by experts that cotton can be transported much cheaper by this means and the experi- ment will be watched with especial in- terest by the business men of this sec tion. A large corporation here will also experiment in the matter of having mer- chandise shipped in this way from the Gulf City to Eufaula and Columbus, Ga, and have estimated that great saving in cost can be gained over. the regular railroad routes. The matter is the sub- ject of much serious consideration among the business citizens here, who propose to adopt the plan exclusively should their expectations be reached in the saving of freight as has been shown.
 The semi-annual convention of the dis trtct association of the Knights of Pythias of this, the eighth, district of Alabama is now in session in this city.
