"DeIiver the Goods"

1t will be interesting to see whether
Deliver the Goods" will come to rank
among our historical political phrases.
1t is a pure Americanism. typically so,
and is one OF those gems OF transat
lantic speech that are 80 expressive
that their meaning is instantly recog.
nized by the most untraveled English,
man. But Ia 1t necessary to have re.
course to what is after all American
slang in order to describe a grave and
national emergency? The resources OF

phosphate is not the only reason to
urge the farmers to Immediately SOW
cover crops, for these will preserve
and return to the soil considerable
amounts Of ammonia, and ammon
iates are now selling at the highest
ton seed meal at sac to $40 a ton It
would be crime to use this excel
lent food stuff under the crop. If
first fed to cattle and used in the
form of stable manure it will be n
different proposition. All other
forms Of ammonia are extremely
high.
"The farmer who does not take
thought to the production of his next
years cotton crop right away will
probably find himself in a very awk-
ward position next spring, and l hope
that the entire farm demonstration
force of the state will direct every en-
ergy toward informing the farmers of
this situation and it's most practicable
solution. Where farmers have wood
lots upon which are growing hard
wood trees such as the oak, hickory,
etc, they should begin as soon as
their crop is gathered to hauling into
their fields leaves and surf. which
besides supplying much needed
humus will furnish considerable
amounts Of ammonia and potash.
"If the farmers can be kept from
going wild over cotton, IL they will
plan now to raise only a moderate
acreage without excessive cost for fer
tilizer, il they will plant heavily to
grain, and arrange for a full acreage
OF corn, believe that the wave OF
prosperity which has Just arrived will
continue with us for some time. On
the other hand II they lose their
heads. run up tremendous bills for
fertilizer and plant the bulk OF the
acreage in cotton, should not be sur
prised to see conditions in a few years
as bad as they have been at any time
recently"

Remedy for ANGER.

The greatest remedy for anger is de.
lay; beg anger to grant you this at the
first, not in order that il may pardon
the offense. but that il may form
right judgment about it; If it delays,
1t will come to an end. Do not at
tempt to Quell it all at once, for its
first impulses are fierce; by plucking
away its parts we. shall remove the
whole. We are made angry by some
things which we learn at second hand,
and by some things which we our
selves hear or see. Now, we ought
20 be slow to believe what Is told
as. II you were about to
give sentence in court about ever SO
small a sum OF money, you would take
nothing as proved without q witness,
and witness would count for nothing
except on his oath. You would al
low both sides to be heard; you would
allow them time.--Seneca.

Llohts From the Drug store.

The general darkening Of the lights
of London has nearly quenched the
rich glow from chemists windows that
used to appeal so strongly to one OF
Robert Louis Stevenson's friends.
Waiter Ferrier,' records Stevenson,
chad a romantic affection for all phar-
macles, and the bottles in the window
were for him a poem. He said once
that he knew no pleasure like driving
through lamp-lit city waiting for the
chemists to go by.
The reigning sultan of Morocco ap-
parently possesses similar tastes.
When Muley Yussef last visited Cas-
abanca he departed with an assort-
ment of green, blue and red jars, pur-
chased from chemists. These caught
his eye as ne passed through the
streets, and we're promptly purchased

German Care Of the Wounded.

An American newspaper man writ
ing from Germany, where he had been
allowed an opportunity to study the
system Of sanitary and medical service
in the army, makes the interesting
statement that it is not only extremely
thorough, but that the conservation Of
life and limb is the policy and prac-
tice OF the surgeons. That IS, their
great endeavor is to save life and to
avoid amputation of legs or arms
where it is possible.
That they have remarkable success
is indicated by the fact that out OF
1887 severely wounded men BROUGHT
to u certain fald hospital within q
given four weeks, but 4 oied. Out Of
hundreds Of 1ps.ati ms performed
only one was an amDutation of limb
There is no post-battle butchery BY
eager young surgeons. for no operation
is performed until it is pronounced alb
solutely necessary by competent
head surgeon.

and the Suez canal to the British GOV

known what enormous difficulties have
to be faced in the endeayor TO keep
these canals clear
The Germans have spent a gigantic
sum on their Kiel canal, which carries
their ships from the North sea to the
Baltic. Just before they made this
war they had widened it at cost Of
fifteen millions
The United States has anxietiea
over the Culebra cut in the Panama,
but not moro so than the Germans
over their waterway. For the ground
through which the latter is cut is III
most places nothing but peat-rotten,
black stun which keeps on breaking
up and falling back into the canal
Also the bottom continually bumps
up.s thus lowering the depth Of the
passage. The craft that use the Kiel
canal have to crawl along They say
that if a cruiser were to make dash
through at top speed it would take q
year and several millions of money to
remedy the damage done by her stern
wave.
Leave any canal alone for even 9
year, and it would no longer be fit for
navigation, Within five years small
/ boat would be unable to pass through
| it.
Each canal has it's own special trou-
