BY Ship From Lakes to Gulf.

This year the deep waterway con-
ventton to promote a ship canal from
the great lakes to the gulf will be
held in New Orleans Oct. 80 to Nov.
3. Previous conventions for the same
purpose met at Memphis and Chicago.
At the New Orleans gathering the
president and vice president Of the
United States and twenty-five govern
ors have promised to be present. Witt:
such official approval the project
should be immeasurably advanced on
its way to accomplishment.
The chief work in behalf Of this
project in the past has been that Of
arousing public sentiment in it's favor,
although some actual constructive
work has been done, notably the dig
ging of the Chicago drainage canal
and the appropriation Of $20,O0O,0OO
by the Illinois legislature, or, rather,
the authorization for bonding the state
to that amount, for the purpose Of
making a deep waterway from Lake
Michigan to the Mississippi. With
this channel completed perhaps the
most difficult part of the larger un-
%dertaking would be accomplished. 1t
would then be necessary to deepen and
mike more stable the bed Of the Mis-
sissippi itself, the shifting nature of
whose channel below the mouth of
the Missouri makes it impossible for
ship navigation, eve If It had the re.
quired depth, which at many points It
has not. This improvement of the
Mississippi is a work for the federal
government. The purpose Of the deep
waterway conventions is to arouse
public sentiment and thus compel ia
vorable legislation. Few issues are
more popular in the central west. and
it is certain that the enthusiasm will
become nation wide as soon as the i'm
portance Of the project is generally
realized. A ship canal would cheaper
transportation throughout the ,Missis
sippi valley, add to the commerce Of
the great lakes region, inevitably In

Plague Spots In Cities.

When Governor Glenn dilated upon
the evils Of cities in q recent Chaut1u-
qua address he struck a popular
chord. Most big cities are a menace
to the country about them, and a few
are a menace to the nation at large
The thinking people Of the cities d"
not need to be told this, and the pei
pie outside are painfully aware that
the truth is never and never a he
told. This is not saying that the moral
level Of the country is superior to that
Of the city and that the evils of the
city cannot be matched in the Distant
mountains and on prairies where no
faint Of the city ever reaches.
But the evils in the city are more OF
a menace than the same things In the
country. There takes place a concen-
tration of pleasures that allure and be-
tray weak human nature and develop
perverted characters to breed and
spread contagion. Still, great things
are done in cities, and there must be
good lives there to inspire them. The
evils that menace society are conta-
gious, and the people Of the city and
of the country may we'll unite against
this common foe as they do In the

Amount Of Grain For Cattle.

Amount Of Grain For Cattle.
The difference in practice between
the amounts of grain that are fed to
cattle that r being fattened is very
great.
The following rules will be found Of
some service to those who are feed
ing: First. aim to feed coarse foods to
the greatest extent possible consistent
with good increase. as they are the
cheaper foods; second. feed enough con-
centrates to make the fattening rea-
sonably rapid In order to save in the
food Of maintenance; third, when
the droppings show that the food is
not being well digested by the offensive
odor that comes from them the grain
should be reduced; fourth. when the
animal gets of feed the grain should
be at once cut down or the trouble is
likely to get worse. At such times con-
dimental food may aid in bringing the
stomach back into tone.

Hudson River In Books.

The noble Hudson river lives In the
folklore Of the people to a greater ex-
tent perhaps than any other stream
associated with the early settlements
Of America. But readers Of today who
look for treatment in literature Of the
Hudson as 1t is or Us it was in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
and the early half Of the nineteenth
century will turn from the pages Of the
poet and novelist, also Of the essayist,
unsatisfed. Irving introduced local
color into his tales, yet only skinned
the surface Of legendary remains, for
the people Of the valley in his day and
for a century before were ingenious
and interchangeable story tellers. Fen
imore Cooper utilized the ~vastness
and the prominence Of the Hudson In,
his Indian stories, not, however, in q
way to distinctly localize its features
and make it a classic trail. Drake
purposely laid the scene Of 1.-THE Gull
prit Fay" in the Highlands. Then his
fancy cut loose from "Cronest" en-
vironment as from all other realities
in the elaboration of the scheme.
George William Curtis, Theodore
Winthrop and John Burroughs, among

The department Of agriculture is al.
ways alert for something new, and the
diplomatic and consular officers Of the
United States have special orders to be
on the lookout for new fruits and
vegetables.
So we'll have these orders been car
ried out that many new and strange
fruits and vegetables have found their
way to the tables of the American
housekeeper.
One of the latest and best things in
this line has been the Introduction into
the United States Of the Roumanian
watermelon. This was the result of a
deal consummated by the late minister
to Roumania, Horace G.. Knowles.
When Mr.. Knowles found this melon
growing among the foothills Of Car

Just the thing to serve individually in
America, and instead Of hotels scrv-

be possible to serve a whole uncut

equal in every way to the best Georgia
melon.
The new melon has a thin skin, and
the meat, which is less fbrous than
the American melon, is both yellow
and red in color. The favor is DELI
| cate and delicious, but the chief char
| acteristic of the fruit is its size, which
is about that of a good sized grape
fruit or shaddock.
After q thorough test by the argicul'
tural department, which found that
the Roumanian melon could be success
fully grown wherever our WI melons
would grow, and having been assured
of its royal reception by the American
public. Mr.. Knowles was anxious &c
repay the gift. He had noticed tina
corn in Roumania vas one Of the chic
articles Of agriculture, but that swee'
corn vas unknown. Accordingly h'
obtained a quantity of seed, hired sew
eral plots of ground and instructed TN
Roumanians in its culture.
The result was so successful I'M tn
corn so thoroughly enjoyed that IN
king called Mr.. Knowles to a privat
audience and thanked him for making
it possible for the Roumanian peopl
to gain this delicacy.
This melon has received such a we
