THE NEGRO TROOPS.

Why not dismiss all negroes from the
military service of the United States2
The negroes, as soldiers, are always
menace to peace and order, and with
some rare exceptions, through their
boldness and their insolence, invite trou
bic and conflict with the citizens.
The Brownsville outrage by negro
troops is still fresh in the public mind,
and it is therefore not surprising that
the citizens of the towns on the Texas
border Of Mexico are protesting vigcr
ously against the assignment of negro
cavalry to service on the border.
In their protest against the quarterlrg
of negro troops at towns along the Dor
der of Texas and Mexico, the citizens
| of Texas should enlist the hearty CO.
operation of Congress, especially the
representatives of the South and of the
North who do not class the negro as be-
ing as good as white man.
The negro presented in the most fav-
orable view is undesirable as soldier
and wherever quartered has been a
source of disorder.
1t is not only the citizens of Browns
vile who have experienced the rowdy-
ism of the rowdy negro, and it is of re-
cord that citizens of Chicago, of New
York and of the New England State:
have protested against the presence Of
NEGRO troops when garrisoned in theil
neighborhoods or their towns
| The negro, as, soldier, is no credi
to the United States, and Congress!
should by enactment exclude the negro
from the military, naval and civil service
of the United States.

GAMBLING IN COTTON.

The doom of cotton gambling is being
forccastcd by many trades in the ex-
changes and on this score the Atlanta
Constitution says;
In New York, as is natural, apprc-
hcnsion has mounted higher than in
New Orleans. 1t was the long contin-
ucd and palpabIe stacking Of the cards
against the producer that first reused
the antagonism of the farmers to the
New York institution New Orleans,
with its commercial differentiaIs in
grading, and its proximity to the fields,
has been spared much of the criticism
leyelcd justly at New York.
This much seems fairly certain
Gambling, pure and simple, will either
be eliminated, or as nearly minimized as
is compatible with common sense and
economics.
"The farmers of the country, and
more especially of the South, have SO
long suffered under the handicap OF
price-juggling, that they are in little
mood for temporizing,
"At the last analysis, the New York
Cotton Exchange is itself to blame for
the present situation.
Over a period of years it has been
given endless opportunities to clean its
own house. These opportunities have
been consistently ignored
Nov that on the verge of being dis
ciplined by Congress, it afrightedly pro
poses eleventh-hour reforms, it has only
itself to blame if Congress requires thai
it bring forth something more substan,
tial than vocal evidence of repentance.

SHEEP PAY we'll ON
The AVERAGE FARM
Require Little Care and Thrive
on Fair Pasture.

After years Of experience with near
ly all kinds of live stock am thor
oughly convinced that nothing pays
the average farmer, considering the
time spent and money invested, like
moderate sized flock of coarse Or medi-
am wooded sheep, say flock OF from
thirty to fifty good ewes. They require
very little care, and the returns are
large, but they will not usually do as
well in large fecks. One of the main
points is not to keep them confined too
closely. Give them plenty Of range
and never shut the shed door even In
winter, writes Vermont farmer In
New England Homestead. This kind
Of sheep require very little, If any,
grain, but must have plenty of exer-
else and fresh air.
The average man should plan to
have his lambs drop about the time the
sheep go to grass or little after. The
chances are that they viii grow faster
and bring a better price than early
lambs, which are liable to get stunted
before they leave the barn. OF course
the dairy business has done and is still
doing much to increase the farmers
bank account, but the sheep industry
will not only do this, but it will help
solve the hired help question, as they
require very much less attention than
cows.
Now about wool. Just use little
common sense, that's ALL Cut or pull
the burs in the pasture before they
mature. If the hay is stored over the
sheep shed have a tight floor, so the
seed and dust will not rattle through
and always shut them outside when
you put hay in the racks. Then shear
before they have been out on grass
very long, By doing this one can have
clean md attractive wool that any
buyer III be glad to purchase at tlfe
| top price.

The man who can raise hogs profit
ably without pasture can increase his
profits many fold by using pasture.
All breeds Of hogs look good when
taken care of, and all of them will
yield good money if rightly handled.
Frequent change to fresh pasture is
one of the best ways to stimulate the
growth Of both the grass and the pigs.
