PROSPERIIY FOR
THE FARMER.
A Thousand Million Dollars
Will Hardly Measure In
crease of Receipts.
New York. July 25.—A comprehensivf
inquiry into present agricultural condi
tions at ome hand agroad has been con
ducted by rhe Orange Judd syndicate of
agricultural weeklies. It leads to the con
clusion that America in particular and
the world in general will see several years
of good limes based upon the bed rock of
agricultural prosperity.
One thousand millions of dollars will
hardly measure the increase in the farm
ers’ receipts for the last year's produce
over (he- values that prevailed as late as
Is;'?. More than $100.000.0t»0 of garm mort
gages have been paid off during the past
two years.
Mll'licns in chattel mortgages have been
wiped out and the paying up of other
forms of indebtedness has become almost
a mama in the West. This has been at
tended with such an increase in bank de
posits that throughout much of the trans-
Missouri country interest rates on farm
loans are down to from 5 to 8 per eent.,
contrasted wit hfrom 6 to 10 per cent, or
more as late as two years ago. These gains
in the West are largely responsible for the
more than $1,000,000,006 since the low
point of 1893. and more than $400,000,000
during the past 12 months.
There is a brilliant promise for the lar
gest tonnage of crops this year ever pro
duced in America. Prices bid fair to be
reasonably maintained, compared to the
low values of 1892-5. indicating a total re
turn for staple crops alone of 3100.000.000
more this season than last year. Rail
roads may justly expect a large traffic, and
some remarkable figures are given as to
the earning capacity of railroads under
assured conditions. Even if the world
should have a bumper wheat crop, its sup
ply for years ending June 30 next
would be some 100.000.000 bushels less
than for the previous two year period of
advancing prices, indicating that the fair
prices paid for the 1896 crop (from 63 to
93 cents at Chicago) are likely for the
present crop.
MANY MILLION
OUmSOF FRUIT
Something About the Vast
Crop that is Being Ship
ped Out of Georgia.
TWO HUNDRED MILLION
Peaches Will Be Sent Out of the
State and Will Bring in Over
a Million Dollars.
Twenty million quarts of will
be -hipped out of Georgia this season, the
greater part of which will be moved dur
ing the month of July, notes the Savannah
’Morning News.
If distributed on socialistic principles
this would give two quarts of peaches to
every man of voting age within the con
fines of the United States, and if the best
way to pacify an enemy is to feed him
well, this quantity would allow Uncle Sam
enough to present every person in Spain
with a quart each.
Twenty million quarts of peaches mears
almost too many single peaches to com
[Ute. If the finest quality of Elbert.xs were
alone considered, those that are so large
that a good size coffee cup w v ill hardly
told one, the number might be safely put
at 100,000,600 peaches But these Goliatbs
of the peach family do not comprise the
bulk of the crop. The smaller ones, while
equally succulent, require a considerable
number more to fill a quart meausure.Tca
peaches to the quart might not be consid
ered too large an average for the whole
crop, as peaches are measured. That
would mean 200,000,000 peaches, colored
and sweetened under the sun of Georgia
and sent forth to bring satisfaction to the
pa'ates of hungry millions of fruit lovers
It would 'be interesting to know what
the consumers will pay for the privilege
oi eating these peaches. What the con
sumer pays and what the grower receives,
it should always be borne in mind, are two
vastly different financial items. About the
lowest price Georgia peaches have sold for
has. been a peck for 10 cents. In 'he
Northern and Western markets, though,
no such prices have as yet ruled, and the
average price to the consumer is hardly
apt to be, taking the whole crop, less than
cents a quart. This would mear an ex
penditure on the part of the public of
$1,400,000 for Georgia peaches in this sea
son of nature’s prodigality.
A comparatively small part of this vast
sum comes back into the pockets of the
growers around Fort Valley, Montezuma,
Marshallville and the other Georgia points
noted for their orchards. There is the
freight, the use of the refrigerator ears,
the commission men’s charges, the cost of
the packages, and the retailers profits all
to be considered before the grower can be
regarded as having any right to a share
of this money. Everybody else has to be
provided for before the man who produced
enters into the division.
The freight and refrigerator car charges,
naturally, cut a big swath in the total
returns. It costs probably $220 to out 1
car load of peaches Into Chicago, and per
haps $250 or more to provide an I trans
port a car in good condition to the New
York market. Special refrigerator cars
are used, well iced throughout the trip,
and the trains are given practically the
right of way. On one day, on the Central
between Macon and Atlanta, passenger
trains were sidetracked four times in or
der that trains pf cars loaded with peaches
might not be delayed on their way to
market. At Atlanta whenever there are
enough cars on hand to make up a train
no regular schedule is waited for. An en
gine is attached and away the train goes
toward Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago or
whatever other point the peaches may be
bound for. It will be some time after the
end of the season before the Central rail
road will know exactly how the peaches
were distributed and how much money was
paid out for transportation and refrigera
tor car service. lAs the crop will doubtless
be about 1,500 cars, if these costs were an
average of $250 a car, the total pi:d out
for getting for getting the crop to market
would be $375,000. Os course th s is not
authentic. It merely gives some insight
into what the peach crop means for the
railroads and the refrigerator car com
pany. The total may be somewhat less,
and it may be somewhat mo-e, but in any
event it will be of proportions that will
surprise the public not accustomed to
thinking over this phase of th? crop.
At New York on Thursday the best
quality of Georgia peaches were bringing
$1.25 a carrier, holding six three-quart
boxes. This was the commission men's
price. On some days prior to that the
price had been down to sl. Early iu the
season, as elsewhere, the prices bad ranged
much higher, some bringing $2.50 a car
rier. The average of prices up to date i i
;hat and other Northern markets >s said
to have been quite satisfactory. There is
danger of a drop any time now, though,
with such enormous shipments. The”? has
been but one day in New York, it is stated,
when there was what might be termed a
decided overcrowding of the market, and
the same is true of Baltimore. Toe re
turns from the large distant markets to
the growers have been quite sa'isfaeta-.-y
up to this time.

AID TO WOUNDED.
Comrades of Those Who Fall Taught to
Give the First Help.
It is not known generally that the men
at the guns of an American warship are
provided by the navy surgeons with ap
pliances for quickly ministering to the
needs of their wounded conn.xdes during
the progress of a fight. Th re is a supply
nf rublier bandages and dressings near
h of the big guns, ami the crew is told
.■ust what to do for an injured luan before
ir is possible for the doctors ’to attend to
him. The important tiring is to stay the
loss of blood, which is the cause of at
least three-fourths of the deaths in battle.
As soon as a man falls one of his com
rades runs to his aid Ii he is wounded in
the leg. the leg is quickly bound with rub
ber tubing in such a wuy as to stop the
hemorrhage, if possible, und antiseptic
dressings are applied according to the in
structions already given by the surgeons.
The injured leg is then bound to the un
injured one for protection and support,
and the man is dragged to a place of safe
ty. Then his comrade, who has acted as
surgeon for the time being, rushes back to
his place by the gun.
In the most protected places on the ship
dressing stations are established. In this
way the wounded can bo more quickly at
tended to than was possible in the old
days, when they had to be carried to the
sick bay before receiving the first assist
ance. There is a male nurse assigned to
each of the doctors. This nurse carries
dressings and other things necessary for
immediate use and assists the doctor in
any way required. The nurse’s duty may
be anything from binding up a wound to
giving a hypodermic injection of morphine
to ease some poor fellow’s sufferings.
In a modern naval battle most wounds
are caused by fragments of bursting shells.
Such wounds are said by so competent an
authority as Surgeon General Stevenson
to be generally less dangerous to life than
those produced by the ordinary small bore
bullets on the field of battle. They are
often superficial rather than deep, though
tho flesh is generally much bruised ami
torn. In the ease of wounds from frag
menta of shell there is much danger from
the lodgment of foreign substances, bits
of the projectile itself, shreds of clothing,
etc., often being deeply imbedded in the
flesh. These must ixi removed carefully or
they will cause serious trouble. The cloth
ing immediately over the wound is always
carefully examined to see if any part of
it Is missing, which has probably been
carried Into the flesh.
The men at the guns are carefully in
structed to avoid touching wounds with
their hands smeared, as they must be,
with powder and grease. It is not until
the guns are silent that the surgeon’s real
work begins. The most urgent cases, such
as those of hemorrhage, are always taken
first, the question being how to save as
many lives as possible. Whisky ami other
stimulants arc given to those who are suf
fering from shock, and wounds are covered
with pads of gauze wrung out in antisep
tic solution until such time as their treat
ment can be undertaken in detail.—New
