I. rctle Ho JCIakes Honey Even Though. Prices aro Lott, by Hoepins tho Leaks Stopped. I want to tell you something," said a young farmer to the editor of the Greenville News yesterday. "I am just learning the value of advertising to us in the country. I wanted some flannel not long ago and looked over the advertisements in the Semi-Weekly News. I found what I wanted and 1 make out that in that single transaction I saved enough by studying jhe advertise ments to pay my subscription a year. 1 nnd tne advertisements as interesting and valuable to me as anything elseln the paper. I think farmers will find that it will pay them always to keep track of all advertising changes. They can pick out what thsy want before they come to town, will know just where to go for.it and will saye time and money. There are always bargains to be found in the adver tising columns." Then the farmer and the editor fell into talk. The farmer is a young man-about 30 years old. He has a wife and four children and he owns: sixty acres of land six miles from town. "Money in farming?'' he said: "of course there's money in farm ing. I. always make it a rule to come out ahead at tbe end of the year and I've never missed it yet. I cleared $180 on five-cent cotton and I expect to clear money on it even if it drops to" four cents. "How do I do it? It's like ev ery other business. Close manage ment, hard work and watching things. I can find something to do on my sixty acres every hour of the year. It's the little leaks that take farmer's profits just -as they take merchants' and I keep 'em stopped." " He "looked like that kind of a man well fed and well kept. His clothes were strong and warm and fitted him well. He was in a well made wagon which ran smoothly and easily and had been taken good care of. He drove a horse which he said is 30 years old and can do as much work as any animal in the country a fat, sleek, dark bay with evidences of good feeding, curry comb, brush and rubbing on - m every men ol n The harness was shining skin. good originally, it fitted like a tailor made gown and every buckle was in place. There was not a piece of string or grass rope or hickory wythe any where about the outfit. It is safe to bet that the man did not have a pin - anywhere doing a button's duty, either. He looked as if he had left a wife at home who is the same kind of a woman he is a man and who watches her husband and children and house just as he watches his barn and stables, live stock, tools and running gears. He has a horse 30 years old and ap parently good for five years' work yet, and many a man loses nis horse at twelve or fifteen years and must buy another at a cost of $100, i . - - - -" 1 . . M M or more, simpiy irom iaiiure io take good care of him. "One thing more you ought , to tell the farmers," he said, as he was leaving. ; "I like whiskey, but I'm land hungry. I figured out years ago that with very moderate drinking I'd drink an acre of good land every year. So I quit. At the end of the. year I tell myself I'm just an acre ahead at $25 an' acre by not drinking. I find when I put it to my neighbors that way it makes 'em think. You tell far mers to think about land every time they start to buy whiskey and calculate how much real estate they are drinking, or giving a way." Then the careful and prosperous looking farmer spoke to his pros perous looking horse and the horse moved off strongly and easily de spite his thirty years, holding his head well up as if he felt that be i?as part of a successful combina tion and was proud of it. And the editor of The Green ville News fell to wondering what kind of a country we would have here, with our natural advantages if all our men in city and country studied the newspapers, watched their own business, kept the little leaks stopped up, stuck , to their work every working day and fig ured out their whiskey bills in ar able land or town lots. As the farmer left he was chuck ling over the story of Bob Means Alliance corn patch. Mr. Means 6 ay s when the Alliance was first organized he marked off a ten-acre field of corn and determined that he would work it only while his neighbors were attending Alliance meetings and looking after politics. His scheme fell through because he found he was working his corn to death. Greenville, S. C, News. ' Relief in Six Hours.

Dairy farming is another opening which has a future, notwithstand ing tne attendant drawbacks of a hot climate, no cold springs for cooling the ailks, and ice at a pre nium. If entered into on a suffl ciently large-scale to warrant trie installation of an ice-plant, the re turns would leave a large margin of profit. As things are today, tbe cattle are milked but once in twen ty-f our hours, before daylight each morning. The ; warm milk must reach the consumer in a very few hours, or be lost by souring.; The selling price ranges from eight to twelve cents a quart. Cream is unknown; not because, as one of the army otficere put it, "This damn Puerto-Rican milk is so poor that never a particle of cream can rise," but because it is never sufficiently cool for cream to butter sells for from a pound, in two, tnree, and live pound tins. This article, which delicate people should never have analyzed, was imported in 1S95 to the extent of 360,000 pounds. Cheese, another of the by-pro ducts of the milk-farm, is annually imported to the amount of a million aid a quarter pounds. Also, there is made on the island good, palata ble, hand-pressed cheese, too white, too dry, and too tasteless for the average foreigner, but largely con sumed by the natives. Dairies established with proper refrigerating facilities, near any of the larger towns, will be more than able to compete with the methods in Vogue. Cream, fresh butter, and cheese would find a ready mar ket at prices for the present, at least much higher than those of America. ! Poultry-culture, as it exists to day, seems to consist mainly of breeding game fighting-cocks. Miserable little chickens of a pound and a half bring 50 cents each. Eggs are to be had in limited quan tities at sliding scale prices; rang ing from 30 cents to 50 cents a dozen, determined largely by the age of the ben-fruit, which becomes painfully over-ripe ! in forty-eight hours. Fresh mutton is 1 always mand in the market, and it easy matter to keep sheep fat and in good condition. . Wool-growing would not be a success, unless hair cloth becomes fashionable, as the imported lamb soon turns into a geat, judging by his bristling coat. Pork, to the amount of nearly 10,000,000 pounds, is annually im ported by Puerto Rico, and is al most wholly purchased from the United States. The raising of bogs in ; large numbers would, however, be a doubtful experiment, owing to the high price of corn, though there is much mast in the mountain regions, upon which they are said to grow fat. The indigenous ani mal is an extremely poor specimen of the razor-back species. ( Corn is scarce and high-priced, and cannot be raised with much success on the northern half of the island, on account of the quantity of rain. The lands of the! drier southern portions of the island are capable of producing very excellent corn, though during exceptionally wet seasons it is apt to mature bad ly and be injured by canker and must. -The failure of corn crops in certain years is made apparent by the variable importation of this grain, which sometimes rises as high as 20,000 bushels, and falls in other years to one fourth this amount. This year (1898), the island drop is very promising, and in the Yauco and Mayaguez dis tricts several thousands acres of the cereal wave ten feet high, usual ly bearing two large ears to the stalk. While the local price of corn is high, ranging from 80 cents to 95 cents a bushel, it is not at all probable that in the future, with open markets, inland corn can com pete with the American product. The benefits, therefore, will accrue to American exporters of maize. Harper's Weekly. in de is an New York and Beer, j The influence of Senator T. C. Piatt, says the Boston Transcript, is seen ! in the legislation of New York State in the introduction of the "pure beer bill." That was a favorite idea of bis just after elec tion, and there may be something in the contention ef the brewers that the bill is intended to help the farmers by increasing the demand for hops and barley, and also pun ish the brewers for their support of the Democratic State ticket last fall. Yet it would seem to be of some importance that New York should produce pure beef, since her citizens consume considerable of it. There were 3,070,212 more barrels of malt liquors drunk in the United States during 1898 than in 1897, and of this increase 600,622, or nearly a fifth, were credited to New York. y, :'-.. . - TO CUBE A GOLD MS 02TE DAT TakeLaxatiTe Bromo Quinine Tablets .

According to tbe official "State ment of the Public Debt," just is sued, the outstanding interest bearing debt on January 31,. 1899, was $1,040,200,425, or $346,050 more than at the beginning of the month. Of the total $100,000,000 are 5 per cents ; and $162,315,400 are 4 per cents, issued by President Cleveland to maintain the gold standard, and $193,192,760 are 3 per cents, issued by President Mc Kinley for the war on Spain. The 5 per cents are redeemable in 1904; the 4 per cents in 1925; the 3 per cents after August 1, 1908. Besides tbe interest-bearing debt there is a debt of $385,410,245 bearing no interest, consisting equally of greenbacks and national bank notes in process of redemp tion. There is also a debt of $1, 237,150 on which interest has ceased since maturity. How much the debt has increased in recent years may be judged from the fact that on March 1, 1893, the out standing interest-bearing debt was but $585,034,260. Some consolation for the extent of our burden of national debt may be bad by comparing it with that of France and England. France now owes some $7,000,000,000 and is continually increasing this vast amount. England now owes tinder $2,050,000,000, and is reduc ing the debt-yearly. In 1816 her debt was over $4,500,000,000, or $225 per head of population, while at present it is but $70 per head. We pay about half as much inter est yearly as England does. For La Orippe.
