THE 6T0RY OF PROGRESS. We all know that the South is making great industrial progress, but few of us un Ierstaud exactly what this means or how much until we see the figures that tell the story. Mr. R. H. E lmonds, of the Balti more Manufacturers' Record, one of the beat, authorities in this country on the industrial progress of the South, haa contributed an interest ing and instructive article on this subject for Harper's Weekly, show ing the progress made since 18S0. In that year the South paid in wages to factory hands $75,000,000; this year there will be paid $350, 000,000. In that year the value of manu factured products was $457,400,000: this year it will be $1,500,000,000. Then the railway mileage was 20, 000 miles; now it is 50,000. Then Southern mills consumed 233.SSG bales of cotton; this year they will consume 1,399,000 bales. The output of pig iron that year was was 397,000 tons; thia year it will be 2,508,000 tons, while the coal mined increased from 6,000,000 tons to 40,000,000 tons. In that year there were 6G7,000 spindles in operation; now there are 5,000,000, and every week adds to the n amber. Then there waa an insignificant quantity of cotton seed oil made; now $40,000,000 is invested in that industry, with an annual production worth $50,000,000. Tho growth of both the cotton manufacturing industry and the iron industry has been marvellous, be ginning with nothing and forging to the front until the South practi cally makes the prices for the world both in the cotton goods and in the iron she manufactures. And she did this, too, in compe tition with long established plants, backed with ample capital, which had the swing of both the home and foreign markets before the South became a visible factor in either. This was achieved in spite of draw backs that to some would make the task of competing with the world seem a very dime alt if not a hope less one. When Southern men embarked in these industries there wa3 little money in the South, and conse quently they had to go alow and start on a small scale, but with ex perience acquired and success at tained they enlarged their plants, iacreased the number and enlarged the field, until they spanned the oceans and became world compet itors. When the South began to build cotton mills their success waa doubted by many and their failure predicted by others, who gave all sort3 of reasons why they would not and could not succeed. But tbey went right on and demonstrated that the alleged obstacles existed more in the imagination, and per haps in the wish of the evil prophets than in fact. The industry which was doomed to failure by these prophets not only managed to live, but to flourish, and to grow even beyond the expectations of the most enthu siastic believers in the South'a pos sibilities. Great a3 the achievement in man 7- and extending nfacturing cotton the field of consumption has been, this is but the beginning, for South era manufacturers are studying the processes of cheapening production, and applying these methods to their business. These, added to the ad vantages they already have, will always keep them in position to com- pete with the mills of other sections and other countries. With this a study is being made of cheaper methods for the production of cotton, which will keep the South ern planter in the lead as the world's cotton grower, and this will mean cheaper cotton for the Southern mills and cheaper prices for South ern goods still leaving practically the same margin of profit for both planter and manufacturer. Time will give the Southern manu- factnrer of both cotton and iron shorter routes to the Eastern hemi sphere, for this will become a com mercial necessity if this country ex pects to cope with rival nations, and the narrow barrier between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans will be cut and a shipway opened between them. This means much for the commerce of the country at large, but it means more for the com merce and manufacturing indus tries of the South, which will find, as it already does, a good market among the teeming millions of the far East for both its cotton and its iron and steel manufactures. Then, and perhaps before" that, there will be lines of steam and othe ships running direct from Southern ports to tho ports of other countries, and with the trade that will be thus en larged will come a corresponding increase in Southern exports, for our own ships mean more regular delivery and cheaper transportation and an exchange of commodi ties that will naturally cause an increased demand for South ern products. Then we need not view with apprehension, a 12, 000,000 bale cotton crop, for we enn find profitable markets for every bale of it, and more. Tho cheaper we can make it and deliver it the more the world will take of it, so that as we master the problem of cheap production we master at the Bame time the problem of trade ex pansion. What is here said of cotton may also be said of iron, for every ad vantage the South offers in the pro duction and manufacture of cotton she also offers in the production and manufacture of iron. There is to day no country iu the world where on can be as cheaply produced as xr in the United Srates, and no region the United States where it can be iu cheaply produced as it can be in as tho South save in the Mesaba region on Lake Superior, where o - nature seems to have tumbled the ore all in a h?ap near the surface of the earth, ready to be shoveled up and put on cars by monster steam shovels. It is said that there the iron can be lifted from the de posit and put upon the cars at a -merely nominal price, when it is run to the docks at the shipping ports and put upon the vessels with ma .KJnoa tViar will load a vessel in a few'hours. These are the only mines which can compete with Southern mines in the cost of getting out and loading ore. In the South there are inexhaustible bodies of iron, the mining of which and nutting on cars cost but little, while in some instances the furnaces are so near the mines that there is practically no transportation. These are the two industries that have brought the South so promi nentlv before the world as a mau factoring section, and these two, the parents of many others, will put her to the front and keep her there A BELATED- DISPATCH We have had occasion heretofore to refer to the political complexion of some of the Manila dispatches senCto Washington by uen. Utis. The one published in the press dis patches Sunday, purporting to be captured Filipino dispatch, which after giving various reasons why thf-y, the insurgents, should stick and keep up a stiff upper lip, declares that "American Democrats are clearly in our favor.. They are sure of Bryan!airiumph next election, is another of the same stripe. This was evidently intended to do service in the recent campaign, but some how the fellow from whom it was alleged to have been, captured, or who forgot it when leaving in a hurry, either didn't manage to get captured soon enough, or was too tardy in eettme into a hurry, and hence this interesting information is somewhat 'belated. But Otis con eluded he would Bend it along any way. as it is in line with some of the gauzy fictions previously forwarded. These things did render service, and doubtless quite effective ser vice, too, in the late elections, for they were printed in all the admin istration organs, made the texts of numerous ardent editorials, were printed in circular form and sent to voters by the thousands. The close States were fairly flooded with them. As a dispatch editor, Otis is a succcess. Assisted by the manipu lators in Washington he waged a much more effective war in Ohio and other States in the recent cam paign than he has against Ahe Phil ippine insurgents. Now, however, that the elections are over, we will probably have a rest on dispatches .IlL' .1 A - 1-M 1. 1 J. i ot suis cnaracter ior a wnue, at least.

Th race problem-has proved a serious one in the South but there is another, indirectly connected with it which though 01 a somewnat different character, seems to be al ready giving more or less trouble in some sections of the South, nw is the labor question on the farm. Some of the difficulties are sec iorm in a letter to The Home and Farm, by Mr. M. V. Moore, of Auburn, Alabama, from which the following is an extract: hat the mainstay on many of our Southern p anUtious Beirro .lave- and those whom they can I influence.

The brutes that have b:en lyocne.a are nearly all youog villair.8 without trade or profession or regular eiupwj mtnt. Very few young negroes are trying to learn any trade." The substantial truth of this is known to ever? one who ha3 given any attention to the movements of the negroes iu the South and the disposition of the younger negroes of both sexes to crowd into the towns and cities, or to get as near to them as possible. But few of them learn trades or try to, and if they go to school long enough to learn to read this is rather an in jury than a benefit to most of them. They think they cau live by th.-ir wits then and give manual labor a wide berth.. Booker T. Washing ington long ago saw all this and has been laboring to change it and make the young negroes learn to be useful and self-supporting. CURRENT COYtvENT.

The scientist, says Hoard's Dairy man, tell us that it requires a daily al lowance of seven-tenths of a pound of protein for the simple maintenance of a 1,000 pound animal. In 20 pounds of milk there should be about eignt- tenths of a pound of casein, and hence, witbout allowance for the inevitable loss that must occur in changing the protein of the feed into the casein or the milk, we have a demand for one and one-half pounds of digestible protein. If the cow is expected to give more milk, she must have more pro tein. It is largely immaterial to the cow whore the protein comes from, provid ed she has the digestive capacity to eliminate it from the feed. We can find it in 25 pounds of clover hay, but only half of it in the same amount of timothy hay. One hundred and twen ty-five pounds of oat straw would fur nish one and one-half potmds ot dl. gestible protein, but It would take a cood deal of other reed to enawe me cow to digest so much straw. do not know any reason wny soja beans, field peas and even alfalfa could not be profitably produced iu New Hampshire. There is, in our minds, more doubt as to crimson clo ver. This must be sown In the late snmmer or .early autumn, and It is Questionable whether it would survive n New England winter. If it willand is put earlv. it will make excellent nay. The danzer with crimson clover lies In letting the heads become ripe or near- lv so. Too little Is known or vetcnes, at least by us, to justify the putting forth of suggestions. Things of this sort may very likely be tried in an ex perimental way for a year or two and thus their adaptability to the peculiar local conditions determined. The question as to which is the bet ter cow for the farmer has attached to it irrelevant conditions. The cow whose milking qualities . have been properly developed, if of good consti tution and adapted to the conditions for grazing, etc., in the locality, is al ways the better cow. There is no style of breeding, bringing up or care that will give us a cow that can transmute carbohydrates into casein. As well at tempt to make sugar from salt. A bal anced ration does not necessarily im ply the use of concentratea reeas.-Dui they are recommended because it is difficult in any other way to supply the cow with sufficient material to enable her to utilize her milk elaborating or gans to their normal and economical capacity. Experiments With Dairy Cowl. Professor Brandt of Germany con ducted three experiments with light and heavy dairy cows, each lasting, four weeks, the second commencing 70 days after the close of the first, and the third year after the beginning of the first. Thirty of the heaviest milk ers In the herd were separated Into lots of five cows each, according to live weight. The cows were kept under similar conditions to feed and care during the trial, none being bred after the beginning of the experiment. The average weight of the heavy cows was 1,205 pounds and of light cows 979 pounds. The leading conclusions from the experiments are: The milk of the small cows is richer in fat than that of the large ones. Large cows eat a greater amount of feed than small cows; per 1,000 pounds live weight they eat less. Small cows produce less milk than large cows, absolutely and relatively. When In thin flesh, small cows may produce , more per 1,000 pounds gross weight than large cows. Large farrow cows are more per sistent milkers; on the other hand, small cows show a greater tendency to fatten on the same feed, with a de crease In the milk flow. The loss in selling ten of the large cows amounted to five .gullden per head on the average, after having been kept nearly a year, while the loss t or ten small cows was 12 gullden per head.

Becaunr They Lueli Quiet Dignity. "Too many mothers do not realize that there are nr.y problems in their relation ship with their grown daughters," says Temple Bailey in the August Woman s Home Companion, -writing of "'Some Mothers and Their Daughters." 'The training of little children is discussed as nn all important topic. Why should not the delicate questions which must arise in. every household where two or more women "of strong personality live in con stant and close contact receive just as careful consideration? It is after the school days that the troubles begin. The. mother who has clung to her little girl fails to recoguize the needs of the grow ing woman and us hurt by any inde pendent action on, the part of the daugh ter, while the daughter, in her eager ness to grasp at the. best in the new life, forgets the deference which is due to the mother. Oct of these conditions small clashings ensue, to end too often in com plete discord. It is just at this time that the mother must bring all her love and rt:r.lnTnnpv to bear. She must endeavor linr dnutrhter'8 nature and t ibilities and limiti tions. She will find that her problems are not the problems of her mother nor crnnilmother. for the girl of today is not like the girl of yesterday, and she must be studied from a mtrereni sianu point. The most unpleasant of all things A.n.-inon i thi dominant daughter. Brilliant, restless and discontented, she demands all things as her right rather than as a privilege. The time honored tale of the mother at the washtub and the daughter at tho piano is verified in fho. montnl t-tit.nd of manv households. There are two things that the mother of moh n daushter should cultivate a quiet dignity which should force the girl's respect, and a sympathy which shall win Sh must be interested in lint whioh interests the younger mind. Ari sha must not bo dominated. Her coir accsrtinn nppri not and should not be radical, but she must he queen of her own household, yielding her scepter to none, and especially not to ner inex perienced daughter."

Liqui dating was the leading feature of specu lation on the Cotton Exchange most of the day and the course of prices prac tically" from the start was steadily downward. Notwithstanding ;predic tions of a week; or. ten days ago that in view of tremendous purchases by the European spinners and American manufacturers, a much la'rgt-r move ment was naturally in order, shorts endeavored to make capital of the in crease reported today. Wall street expressed confidence in the ultimate course of the market, but sold a large portion of its holdings under the fr ar that a serius break was at hand under sheer weight of long stuff piled up on the late . rise. Stop orders were reached in the late session and thesq contributed to the weakness. The spot markets were reported o be hold ing1 very steady considering the unset tled ruling of the American and En glish future markets. At the Jowe&t level the markets showed a loss of 4wenty-two to twenty-eght points. The close was barely steady with prices eight to nineteen points under Salurdaj 's close, the market having partially recovered on covering. New York, November 13. Cotton quiet; middling uplands 7c.
