BENEFIT OF GOOD H1eHWAYs.

Thirty-one years ago Jules Verne
wrote Around the World in Eighty
Days p 1t was then considered little
more than a dream. Last year the
circuit of the world was made in fifty
four and half days. When the ST.
berian railroad is finished-and the
Japanese are also finished or have fin
ished-thirty-three days will enable
traveller to leave New York in either
direction and go completely around
the earth /! The great main lines of
railroad which traverse the earth are
supplied with feeders, large and small,
which work back into what were nm
known wastes fifty years ago. 1t is
estimated that there are 532, 500 miles
of railroad now in working order, of
which 2o2, All miles are in this coun-
try. These roads do two things
provide new markets and tap new
stores Of food or material. They bring
new demands for some things which

in his market with what he grows.
IF the railroads alone are developed
until they network the world the farm
er will receive less direct benefit and
more direct competition thanany other
producing or commercial class. This
is because his products must be haul
ed over a dirt or stone road before they
can be distributed. 1t is evident to
all that farmer at the end of rough
or muddy road cannot compete on
even terms with another farmer who
has a smooth, hard highway between
his farm and the railroad. So far as
farmers are concerned, the improve
ment of country highways is of far
greater Importance than the extern
sion of railroads. Not only farmers,
but the entire nation will be benefited
by improved highways. The locality
should not be left to pay the cost

SOIL BACTERIA.

The Agricultural Department at
Washington issues the following in
structions to farmers who desire bac.
terra for inoculating soils for legumes /:
''The organisms for the common le-
gumes, such as alfalfa, peas, beans,
clover and vetches, will be distributed
to those applicants who desire to aid
in testing the efficiency of these organ
isms in different parts of the United
States. As a general rule the guam
tity sent to each applicant will be suffi-
cient to inoculate little more than
one bushel of the seed for which the
incubation is desired. In special
cases, however, when large quantities
of seed are 10 be inoculated, directions
for preparing the culture liquid will
be forwarded, and as much as desired
can be made up at cost of few
cents per gallon. In writing state
what legume you expect to SOW and
give approximately the date of plant
ing, so that we may send the organ
isms in the best possible condition.
This is necessary, as our methods re-
quire the inocculation to be made
either before or at the time of plant
ing the seed. Full directions for use
are included in each package sent out.
The bacteria are beneficial only in
connection with legumes and are not
applicable to other farm or garden
crops. Even with legumes these bac-
terra are of no decided benefit except
when the proper nodule-forming or
ganisms are lacking in the soil, but a
crop of legumes with nodule-f forming
bacteria improves the form of succeed
ing crops. When applying for inoc-
ulating material do not neglect to state
the probable time of planting, kind of
seed and amount to be treated"

TO STOP GROWTH OF HORNS.

For stopping the growth of horns
upon calves this mixture has been
successfully used in experiments con-
Quoted by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry Take so parts caus-
tic soda, rs parts kerosine oil and rs
parts water. An emulsion is made of
the oil and soda by heating and Wig
orously stirring, and this is then dis
solved in water. The mixture should
be placed in a bottle with solid rub
Der cork. The calves should not be
over 3 weeks old, from S TO 20 days
being the proper age. A horn will
sometimes be killed that is even from
a to weeks old, but it cannot be de-
pended upon with certainty. In ap-
plying the solution the following di-
rections should be observed: With
a pair of scissors clip the hair around
the embryo horn so as to expose a
spot about the size of a nickel. While
an assistant holds the calf securely
drop two or three drops of the mix
ture on the horn and with the end of
the rubber cork rub it thoroughly
over the bare spot. Apply the fluid
first to one horn, then the other, un-
til each has received three or four ap-
plications. The rubbing should be
continued until the caustic has soften
ed and removed the hair and surface
skin around the horn. Care should
be taken that the fluid does not spread
over too large a surface or run down
the side Of the face. To insure sue
cess the mixture must be carefully
aud thoroughly applied. fused care
lessly the embryo horn may not only
be killed, but the face of the calf may
be disfgured by allowing the fluid to
spread and run down over the skin.

The novel method of electric welding of L. s.
Lachman makes it possible to use steel in place
of malleable iron for many articles. Two UNI
equal sections do not weld satisfactorily, SO one
piece of metal is cast with point, and the two
projections, forced together by hydraulic
press, are made to form the highest resistance
of an electric circuit. Being thus heated to
melting-point or nearly SO. the pieces, under the
great pressure, become quickly more strongly
welded together than they could be attached by
means of rivets.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY
ENTERS CANDY INDUSTRY

NEW YORK, May 26-Members of
the National Confectioners' Associa-
ton are beginning to worry over the
prospects of competition on a large
scale by the Standard Oil interests.
The Corn Products Company, of which
e. T. Bedford of the Standard Oil Com
pany is president, and which makes
about rs per cent of the glucose used
in the country, is preparing to go in
to the candy business, because glucose
is an essential ingredient of much of
the candy now sold. Many years ago,
before the candy manufacturers learn
ed that glucose not only made candy
cheaper but more popular by rendering
it less sweet, sugar alone was the main
base of candy. But candy made out of
pure sugar was too sweet for popular
consumption. OF late years the pro-
cess of making candy less sweet by
putting in a certain proportion of glu
cose has made candy more extensively
used than ever by the public, which
perhaps never suspected why it was
that the candy habit was becoming
stronger and stronger each year.
Financiers have for a long time Won
dered how long it would be before

LITTLE negro gets
A LIFE SENTENCE

In the case of the State vs.. Jubi
ter Beason, convicted of criminal as
sault, his counsel, Mr.. Luther James,
this morning filed a motion in the
circuit court setting out several for
nal reasons why the verdict of the
jury should be set aside.
After hearing the motion the court
overruled it and ordered the defend
ant to stand up. Asked if he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be passed upon him. the small boy,
Jubiter, said he did not.
Judge Cook then pronounced sem
tence which sent Jubiter to the pen
itentiary for his natural life.
Jubiter, a well grown boy apparent
ly of 10 or If years of age, but shown
by the evidence before the jury to be
under II as claimed by the defense
and over II years by the state, gave
little evidence that he understood the
meaning of the sentence of life pro-
nounced upon him by the court. At
ter hearing the sentence he reeumed
his seat on the step at the courts
desk with about the same air and
manner as if the court had said "Sit
down till I write a message I wish you
to carry"
Jubiter is almost a full black with
not a bad face. No worse nor better
than the average negro boy of his
age.
Having been convicted as charged
by the grand jury the court had
one of two sentences to pronounce.
Either death or life imprisonment. The
lesser penalty was given Juhiter Bea-
son.
