NEXT GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Will be an Important one
About the Governors Mes
sage.
It is learned that better public
road laws will be one of the matters
which Governor Glenn will urge
upon the next legislature in his mes
sage to the General Assembly, upon
which he commenced work within
the last few days. Better public
dirt roads througout the State is
something to be greatly desired and
the Governor is of the opinion that
that their improvement will have a
most favorable effect in inducing
immigration of the best class to the
State. Among other subjects to
which he will give special attention
an his message is that of insurance.
His Excellency is of the opinion
lU'dl 10O U1UUU uiuucj tuiictwu kjj
the foreign insurance companies,
"both life and fire, is taken out of
the State and invested elsewhere
-about half a million dollars annual
ly, it is said that never comes back
in any shape or form. He is of the
opinion that a considerable per
centage of this premium money
should be required by law to be in
vested within the State in which it
is collected. It is not known au
thoritatively just what the nature will
be of the recommendation which the
Governor will make in reference to
the increase in accommodations for
the care of the insane, but it looks
now that the commiug legislature
will be urged to do what the last
legislature was asked to do and
ought to have done, namely, to
authorize a bond issue for that
purpose; for that real? seems to be
the only practical solution of the
pressing problem that now enlists
the interest of every human person.
The next general assembly will not
be a very important one, for it will
only be called upon to select a Unit
ed SUtes Senator and to settle the
matters just referred to, but many
others of momentous importance.
Therefore the people of every coun
ty in the State should be unusually
careful to send good men and true
sons of the State to represent them
in the next legislature, men with
enough backbone as well as brains
and independence to meet fearlessly
the demands which the good and
future welfare of their state will
make upon them.
A While Season.
"Despite the free use of vivid
colors, these will be in the minority,
and the comming season will be
distinctively and emphatically white
"The high class tailors report
that white broadcloth, serge and
flannel, are in unprecedented de
mand for simple walbing costumes
as well as for visiting or driving.
They advise their petrous to select
only high grade materials, because
the'cheap varieties soil very much
more readily.
"Piques are going to be worn, and
they will be particularly smart for
morning frocks, and also for separ
ate coats and wraps. The piques
show varions styles of cording, from
vprv fine to verv heavv. and their
fineness delights the liearts of the
ladies' tailor. Eyelet embroidery
shows to advantage on pique, either
by itself or in combination with
motifs of -baby' lrsh lace. Hebebo
or Danish cutwork is also used, and
promises to be popular as the ilar
danger of recent seasons.
"The voeue for white eowns ne
cessitates a corresponding one for
white hats, botn in ten ana in lin
gerie. The white felts will be worn
late into the advancing Spring.
The felt is of the same fine variety

Quall'let In a Husband.
"More than once I have been on
the verge of matrimony until I met
the man's father. Its like father,
like son, said an intelligent young
woman, "and if a girl only uses her
observing powers she will know five
minutes after she meets the father
whether she wants to mairy the son
or not.
"If the father be au old codger
she may be sure that the same ten
dency to bore people which she has
noticed in the son will develop later
into all the characteristics of an old
codger. If the father be a shiftless
sort she may understand how that
happv eo-luckv nature of lover
is going to develop. The spasmodic
selfishness of the sou may see de
veloped in the older man as a settled
incousiderateness and boorishness.
If the head of the family brow-beat
tis wife and will not let her have a
mind of her own she may shudder
to think how the son will laugh and
jeer at her opinions.
"I remember one fellow who ap
pealed to me as just the right sort
in every way; except that he w a
economical. I deceived myself into8
thinking that it was only a very
worthy trait of saving until I met
the father and heard him grumble
because his wife did not make her
hats instead of buyiny them. Then
that little trait of economy in the
son stood boldly out hs the begin
ning of a hateful parsimony which
would come later. And my dear,
you know a stingy man is one of
the mo8 1 abhorrent on earth.
Then there was a man whose
most predominating characteristic
was extreme care in dress, and his
immaculate appearance quite won
my heart. But when I discovered
that his father was the worst sort
of an old betty and turned the house
upside down if any of his piecious
belongings was in the slightest dis
order, I renounced the son. If the
father neglects his wife she may be
certain that the carelessness with
which the son breaks engagements
with her is not because he is young,
but because this trait of negligence
is inherent in him.
"On the other hand, if she finds
the father thoughtful and consider
ate a girl may assure herself that
the same traits in the son are not
called forth by a desire to please
her and gain her favor, but will last
always. The sunny natnred fellow
whose father is a cheerful philoso
pher, is a treasure, and the girl
makes no mistake wheu she takes
him quickly. New York World.

FENCE WIRE PROBLEM.
Caea of the Corroalon of Steel Wire
Fencluar.
Into the much discussed question of
What Is the matter with the fence wire
nowadays the department of agricul
ture, in a recent publication, intro
duces the theory of electrolysis. It is
Stated that all metal used for fence
wire at present made In this country Is
classed as steel, Irrespective of the per
centage of carbon or whether made by
the Bessemer or open hearth process.
From the statements of officials of a
company consuming large quantities
of wire and from other authoritative
evidence, all tending In tl same direc
tion, the following two points are ac
cepted: First, that modern Bessemer
and open hearth steel rusts much more
rapidly than Iron wire; second, that
manganese, especially if it is unevenly
distributed In the steel, is at least in
part the cause of the trouble.
Effect of Electrolysis.
Mr. Cushmnu, the writer of the mon
ograph on the "Corrosion of Fence
Fire," argues that, although it Is prob
able that the effects of electrolysis in
a fence wire are extremely small, It
must be remembered that they are con
tinually going on whenever the wire is
wet. In almost all modern steel wov
en wire fences some wires will be found
to far outlast others. Independent of
the original weight of the galvanized
covering which they carry. If in wov
en wire fence all the wlrar would last
as well as the best ones difliere would
Lave been no complaints. It Is Just
this point of unevenness of lasting
quality In wires from successive heats
In the same milt which have practically
the same chemical composition that la
hard to explain by any theory but that
of galvanic or electrolytic action. The
manufacturers have believed that the
whole trouble was In the unevenness in
the weight of zinc covering that was
put on tbe wire, but experiment and
observations show that this is not so.
Some wires will go to pieces before
others, although there Is no discernible
difference either in the weight or qual
ity of the zinc covering. In one fence
which has been under observation for
four years one wire was In perfect con
dition, although It carried a light cov
ering of zinc, while the wire next to it
was badly rusted from end to end.
Observations la the Field.
Almost every one who has carefully,
inspected woven wire fencing as It la
exposed to the weather on the farm,
says Mr. Cushmau, has observed that
some of the wires go to pieces much
more rapidly than others. The bot
tom wires lying dose to the ground,
which are kept wet In summer by the
growth of weeds and grass and in
winter by melting snow, aro naturally
the ones which we should expect to
rust most quickly. As a matter of
fact, however, they almost never do so,
but, on tbe contrary, are far more
lasting than the wires farther removed
from the ground. This observation has
been substantiated by a large number
of competent observers. One would
not seek to preserve iron from rust or
zluc from corrosion by laying these
metals away in wet snow or weeds.
If, however, electrolysis takes place
and if the action can be diminished by
keeping the wires electrically neutral
through frequent connections to the
earth or through frequent short cir
cuits we should then expect that wires
which were kept their whole length in
constant contact with the earth would
in the long run show greater lasting
quality.
Telegraph Wire.
The process of making telegraph wire
is noted, and it is explained that "tele
graph wire is generally acknowledged
to be more durable than fence wire"
and that "cure is exercised in the man
ufacture of telegraph wire to keep the
manganese low, because this element
increases the electrical resistance of
the wire. The diCleulty experienced
in rolling low manganese steel and the !
slow rate of speed at which the mill
must be run to draw the wire through i
the zinc bath In the double process of
galvanizing odd materially to the cost
of the product. The question then
arises whether or not high grade fence 1
wire Is worthy the same care and con
sideration that are given to wire which j
brings a higher price in the market
and is used for other purposes. .
Cowpeaa Followed by Cane.
We have one and a half acres of land
which was planted to cowpeas In 1004
and from which we cut about three
tons of the richest hay that grows. This
year (1905) we planted it to cane and
made 170 gallons of molasses and
thrashed 100 bushels of cane seed off
the one and a half acres. We think
the cowpeas are the best fertilizing
crop tbe farmer can raise. The cane
is the best seed producing cane we
ever saw, and we have been growing
cane about eight years, says a writer
In Kansas Farmer.
