In writing & few days ago of cat tle raising in the South as a promis ing industry, we quoted, something from the Charleston Xeics and Cou rier and made reference to an ex- - hibit on the exposition grounds by the U. S. Department of Agricult ure which that paper had p'reyioasly made mention of. The ground coTered by this exhibit ; contains about two acres, and is laid on in plats about the size of "an ordinary garden plat." It is under the charge of a man who has been in the ser vice of the Department for some years, has had forty years experience in growing grasses, forage plants and grasses in England, ; Ireland, Scotland and this country,' and was employed as an expert in these for sixteen years by the British Govern ment. The News and Courier thinks that this entitles his opinions and conclusions to some respect. He was sent last Fall by the De partment of Agriculture, and pre pared for these 'practical object les sons proposed by laying off about two acres of ordinary sandy land which had been previously planted in strawberries. The planting was done at intervals from Fall to Spring, and there was no artificial ; watering done, the only watering being by rains, and the season was not a "fa vorable one." There were 123 varieties of grain, forage and grass plants planted upon these 2 acres, some of which proved failures because the soil or climate or latitude was not adapted to the plants. But the majority succeeded not only well but splendidly. Those which succeeded are thus noted. We quote in full, though somewhat lengtny, because it is a splendid object lesson, showing what can be done on Southern soil, and how much greater capacity there is in it than is generally supposed: 1 English and Hairy Vetch 'and Bar lev, mixed. Planted between 25th and 20th December. Nearly waist high Will cut (green) ten to twelve tons per acre. Sand Vetch with crimson clover and bearded wheat. Will cut 8 tons to ten. Bye from coast of Africa. : Shoulder high. Will yield 40 to 45 bushels to acre. Bye, from Wood's Seed Company, Richmond Va. Nearly 7 feet high. Same yield. Texas rust-proof oats with English etch, "wu ready to eat at Christ mas, 40 days from time of germination. Large yield will not give stock colic." Golden barley with crimson vetch. Average 10 to 13 tons to acre. Could have been eut and fed two months ago early in Fe bruary. Wood's (Richmond) grass mixture. Yield 6 tons to acre, first cut. Can be eut every three weeks afterward, with yield according to strength of land. Three plats of clover, white, red and crimson, ten weeks old and "doing well." Good for sheep and hogs. Crimson clover, in full bloom. Planted November 20. "The only clover on the grounds that waa not in jured by frost." Nearly knee high, and so thick that the ground cannot be seen through the growth. Good for stock and bees. i Mammoth clover. "Germinated March 20. A splendid stand; the best on the grounds. A great food for any kind of stock. Will feed 10 cows to acre all the year round. Is planted bat once. Beaews itself," What a crop for this region! And there is an other, i Six kinds of Alfalfa from France and Turkestan. Three feet high, and rank as weeds in a river bottom. Fine for milch cows and for any fcrf of stock. Will cut now, not full grown, 12 tons to acre. Is planted but once. "A great drought resister, as the roots will go down 40 feet for water. Will feed 6 eows to acre. Can be cut every two months, yielding a big crop at every cutting." A plot planted in March is 8 inches high, i Another planted in April is 4 inches high. Fescue. "Does very welL" Ger minated in January and is a foot high and very thick, but requires rain. Canary grass: Does very well in .spots. Orchard and Timothy grasses: Both good, but as they are fall grasses can not be said yet how they will do. Bromus grass: Waist high and "first class." A native i Western grass, fine far horses and mules. Has cut five to six tons an acre. Is fed dry. Bromus grass, a fine foreign variety: Yields six to seven tons to acre; fit to eut first week in April for hay, and can be eut two or three times a year. A great hay forage for all stock. Bromus grass, Russian: Very fine. Soft meadow grass. Thick stand. For grazing only. i Elizabeth Bunch grass: Four feet high; one of the finest grasses on the grounds. "When the land; is strong one of the best meadow grasses. Yields five to six tons to acre. Can be grazed the year through, after the first cut ting. Renews itself from the roots." Eight plats of Blue (lawn) grass are shown. A good grass for low lands. "All will stand the sun if good seed Pted, and they are planted deep enough." . Horse Bean: Planted March 28. Ger- 2h?W.,?tLBn,!!lJl Now ten inches nigh and in full bloom. "The greatest crop we have for horse feed. Yields thirty to forty bushels to the acre. The beans are crushed or cracked and fed with oats, and are better than carrots or any other food." Baps, from Essexshire, England: A. great feed for cattle. Takes the place of carrots, and makes twice as much food as carrots." Sown in the e erofr"1 on the plat is six if high; somewhat resembles "col- JjS f Jff 6M 8ed- nd the leaves good for table use. r - Golden Bartley: The largest growth Pt Mr- Bean haTeVS KliS the South. Heads well filled. h-TSS Barley: Planted Novem Very fine," and now ready to5at bread and whiakeyT ye, (Wood's, Richmond:) Stands five and one-half feet high, with heads nLSlrthe,l0BK "Gd for fJSnE Fo'tk. Imported i?! upright growth. 77 J wi OWL and mn tti.V acre. Not emit m-n-i Horse Beans, from France: "Great set . frriT .rML through it or EL, i?L 1L Yields forty to forty-five bushels of hn LTl food for horses. Planted In February, Now mature." Blue-stem Bean, from Egypt for horses. Now mature. Broad Bean, from China: Horse food. Now mature. Will yield thhrty fire bushels shelled beans to acre. This plat deserves special notice, as it wss planted Norember 20, and pasted unharmed through all ihe cold of the winter. . . Crimson Clorer. with Hairy and English VeUsb: A fine crop. Will cut about ten tons to acre; can be cut at once. Must be replanted. In addition to these there were twenty-two varieties of wheat plant ed, the exhibit of which, the News and Courier says, is "a very strik ing", one and worthy of special at tention. Six of these would, accord ing to the gentleman in charge, yield forty bushels to the acre, and, although raised without fertilizers, "nearly as good" as he ever saw in England," where they never think of growing wheat without fertilizers. It was planted eight inches apart in drills and planted deep. Capt. Bean, the gentleman in charge, says the great trouble with our farmers is that they do not plant their wheat deep enough. Some of this wheat stood six feet high on the ground, some had special features, such as strength of stalk to resist strong wind, while others stand cold which would injure the more tender varie ties. In one of these plats the growth was so dense that attempts to culti vate the stalks in a given space a few wide proved failures because "it would take too long." The News and Courier concludes its interesting article on this 'little farm" thus: We hare riven so much space to this exhibit of grasses, grains,'et&, be cause of the astonishing revelation It affords of the vast capabilities of this county, this region, this State and this section, for the production of wheat and other bread crops, for rais ing fine horses, cattle and other stock, for making dairy products, and for growing hay. The little two-acre farm moves, beyond all doubt or ques tion, that, instead of being compelled to buvall these things because we can not produce them, we can produce them for sale in eompetitkra with any other part of the country. It prores that, so far from being "de pendent on cotton" for a paying crop. our farmers are deliberately neglect ing, year after year, far more profits - biesand less troublesome crops, in or der to prow cotton. It is an exhibit that wiu deeply in terest and impress any of them, and will mean, for many of them, the making of a fortune. They should not fad to see it, at any cost. This was a small tract, it is true, but there was no fancy farming done on it, spending $10 to raise $2 worth of stuff. It was all practical, com mon sense farming by a man who understands his business. What can be done on two acres can be done on 2,000 or 2,000,000, under similar conditions. After reading of such an exhibit who can for a moment . doubt that the South is capable of becoming the ideal farming and stock raising sec tion of this country? BEXZV0LEXT ASSHCILATI0Y. Soldiers in the Philippines have their own ideas of "benevolent as similation," and the best way to carry it out. It ; may be incidentally remarked that generally speaking the average soldier isn't much of a hair splitter and does not waste much time in! moralizing. The Philadelphia North American quotes the following from a regular army officer who is now at home in that city on leave of absence: The Philippines are all riarht enough, or rattier will be when we get the damned niggers properly licked. The country is fine, but as long as you people at home keep on crying for free dom and such rot for the treacherous robbers, you will never do anything with the islands. It is one thing to fight men, but it's a different story when you have to march through a wild country and fight a crazy lot of monkeys who stick a knife into you ine moment you turn your bade "It's all right to symnathixe with them in America, bat in the island swamps it's another thing. All you want to do then is to thrash h 1 out of 'em and get back to camp.

It beats alL When oar boys get them on the run and corner the devils, then look out. it don t take long to clean 'em up. ; Of course, it's not exactly war, but then they are not.real human beings. 'America has got to grow, and any damned nigger people who get in the way nan neuer look: oat, ror we U walx right over them every time This is pretty blunt and pretty caloric, some would say pretty bru tal also. This man who, like Gen eral .Funston, would doubtless say "bully" for Herod Smith, may not voice the sentiments of every soldier in the Philippines, but there is little doubt that he voices the sentiment of many, and perhaps a large majority. From the very first,, when they be gan to hunt FQipinos and shoot them as they shoot jack rabbits on the plains, they have looked upon shooting them as an exhilarating recreationiand that they went at it in earnest and made a success of it is shown by the large numbers of Fili pinos killed in fights and the com paratively small numbers wounded. And yet Gen. Hughes testified be for the Senate committee that he always felt sorry when he had to fight the Filipinos, for he felt as if he was "fighting children. Bnt they 'must be assimilated if the last "damned nigger" has to be exterminated, for . that's the only way we can, according; to this brutal officer, ever do anything with the Philippines and make them "pay," which is the inspiration of "benevo lent assimilation." ;- .

Earnest efforts have been made to settle the differences and to avert the threatened strike, one of the most active in this work being Senator Hanna. The efforts failed principally for the reason, as stated, that the mine operators were not averse to a strike at this time, but would rather welcome it, as they would lose but little, if anything, in the long run. It would give them an opportunity to run up the price of coal and dispose of what they have on hand at a larger profit. They have begun already to do that, for coal has advanced a dollar a ton in Philadelphia. Of course as the supply decreases it will go still higher, as the anthracite mines are controlled by a combine or trust. While the strike, which has already been inaugurated, may not prove a very serious thing to the mine operators, it will, if persisted in and carried out on the gigantic, propor tions that will be attempted, prove a very serious thing to the miners, to the business of the country and to millions of people who are not interested directly in the mines or in mining. A coal famine would be next to a food famine.' because it would clog the wheels of industry and deprive millions of people of the labor by which they earn their daily bread, which gives ground for the hope that some means may be de vised to prevent the strike from becoming general. There surely should be some way to prevent these conflicts in which eventually the whole country may become involved and millions suffer. BOOK sTOTICSS.

SCore Daacerou, For Mjury Stsn Tlutm Those of the Stale, i Wounds In civil life differ from thosjt In military life In the greater after dan ger of septic involvement. Revolver cartridges are more ; liable than are rifle cartridges to have been handled frequently, to have been carried In dirty pockets and to have come in con tact with various forms of infectious materials that may prove of serious consequence when burled in the tis sues. Moreover, revolver cartridges are covered with a coating of grease, and this encourages an accumulation ef manifold microbic material, some of which may prove to be of virulently Infectious nature. I Eifle bullets are practically always sterilized by the intense heat developed by the powder a,t the moment of their discharge. Their rapid progress through tbe air while in a heated condition: still further serves to cleanse them of any extraneous material that may chance to have accumulated on their surfaces. This cleansing process is very effector ally begun by the rifling of tbe i rifle barrel through which the bullet forces its way. j All these favorable factors are lack ing in the case of the revolver bullet; and so it is possible that in any given case such a bullet may carry infectious material with it into the tissues. If this were in small amount, nature might effectually wall it off and no se rious consequences result.

The cotton market opened barely steady with prices six points lower on May and one point higher to two points lower on the rest of the list. Following the call, cover ing carried prices up a point or so. but Wall street interests appeared as large sellers. Commission houses soon took a prominent part in opera tions and unloaded liberal lines of July and August cotton under which the whole market turned weak. Unfavorable coal strike news. unrest in stock and money cir cles in Wall street and a pro nounced break in the New Orleans market, supplemented the fine weather and crop reports from the South. Ex ceptionally light port and interior town receipts, reports that spot cotton was holding steady pretty much over the whole belt and bullish estimates for the present week and statistical showine went for naught as compared with the bearish influences mentiond above. Within the first hour July dropped to 8.77 and August to a 48. A slight ral ly followed, but at best the market was Terr feverish and irregular dur ing the rest of the short session with commission houses spasmodic sellers of the summer months. There were no cables in hand from Liverpool, that dvkc utiuk ciiHcu last nignt not to re-open until next Tuesday morn ing Withsuntide holidays). Renorts that New Orleans bulls were selling out came forth when Julr in that market broke from 9 30 to 9.03. Nmw YORK, May 16.

Grain traders found little of interest in the cloaini session of the week on the board of trade to-day. The influencing factors were not sufficiently marked to in duce good speculation, save somt weakness in corn late in tte day tot started a short lived spurt of activity. The pits closed with July wheat t lower; July corn fic lower, and July oats iic down. Provisions haggled idly all day and closed l shade lower to a shade higher. ,7 MARINE. CLEARED.
