Democratic Reorganization.
{Mr. Billy Sanders (otherwise
Mr. Joel Harris,'qL•Wiiple^^Re^ir
us*' fame), contributes a very in
teresting and timely article to the
February World V Work. The
old man philosophizes over the
condition of the democratic party,
and incidentally throws out a few
timely suggestions which are wor
thy of consideration. | ■
“As for the Dimmycrats,” re
marks Mr. Sanders, the time’s past
when you can hurt ’em by j-’inin’
’em, or by gwine off som’ers else.
The party has got to that pi hit
whar it can’t be hurt any wus9’
an’ whar it can’t be holp by any
body on the outside. Its got to
wash its face an’ ban’s an’ put [on
some clean duds an’ go back to
fust principles. It’s got to put
men in the lead that knows what
fust principles is—men who won’t
up an’ sw’er that they*r own idias
an* opinions is fust principles.
“What it needs is a man, or a
set of men, who can look into
their own minds an’ know what
the people want. You nee’nter
tell me-thar never was a day
when the people of this country
wasn’t purty nigh all on ’em Dim
mycrats, an’ they don’t need t uo
organizin’ on that line. All tbat
the party needs is to put its head
light in front instead of behind,
an’to stop foolin’ wi’ men that
thinks, the republic has been
wrecked ever’ time a betsy bug
flies ag’in the wall. Ef you
was to rake the country over wi a
fine-tooth comb, you couldn’t find
a wuss old moss-back than me. I
don’t like, changes, an’ I’m so sot
iii my wavs that I’ll wake up ef
the clock stops tickin’, an’ yit ef ”
can’t git - waffles for breakfast, J
can git along mighty well wi’ bat-
tercakes, an’ ef I can’t git batter-
cakes, I can put up wi’ four or fiye
right hot biscuits.”
How the Department of Agricult
ure lias Recognized Import
ance of Grasses.
“There is no line of work more
intimately connected with the ag
ricultural interests of the country
than investigations of grasses and
forage plants.
“Grasses are so common, grow
ing everywhere in meadows and
waste places, upon hillsides and
plains, covering the bare places of
the earth with their myriad hosts
of individual plants, that we are
apt to forget their vast significance
in the economy of nature, and
that they constitute the" greatest
of our agricultural resources, and
form the very foundation upon
which seats all our agricultural
wealth and prosperity. Accord
ing to estimates of the Division of
Statistics^ the hay crop of *96 aln
Amounted to 60,000,000 • tons,
valued at nearly $4,000,000,000,
exceeding by a third the total val
ue of the wheat crop. In addition
to this vast quantity of hay which
would lbarely-; suffice to parry
through the year the 16;000,000
milch cow8 owned by the United
States, enough pasturage, fodder
and green - forage were supplied to
feed 37,000,000 sheep, 30,000,000
cattle, 14,000,000 horses and 2,-
000,000 mules. A conservative
estimate and the total annual val
ue of the grass and forage crops of
this country is moire than $1,000,-
dop.pOp.
“Among the great nations of the
world* ours has been the first to
give official recognition to the im
portance of these crops by estab-
ishing in the Department of Ag
riculture a Division of Agrostol
ogy, especially devoted to working
out grass problems.
“During the past year 6,000trial
packages of seeds from collections
made by the division have been
distributed, more than 3,000 gras
ses have been identified for corres
pondents, and replies to more than
600 inquirers, relative to the me
thods ot cultivation, uses, and
feeding value of grasses, have been
prepared.”—Arthur Heury in
Ainslee’s.
—Queen Victoria never wore the
crown of England, except; at her
coronation, in 1838, and when she
sat for her portrait, says the Chi
cago Record. It is the heaviest
and most uncomfortable kind of a
bonnet and weighs several pounds.
The crowu which for the admira
tion of public reposes upon a scar-
et velvet cushion in the treasury
of the Tower of London, guarded
by stalwart sentinels, is not the
real thing, but only an imitation.
Very few people know where the
real crown is. It is locked away
in some strong vault under the
care of LeiuL Gen. Sir Frederick
Dobson Middleton, K. C. M. G.,
C. B., keeper of fhe crown, who re
ceives a salary of $1,500 a year* foi
assuming this tremendous respon
sibility. The real crown contains
1,273 rose diamonds, 1,363 brill
aints, 273 round pearls, 4 large
egg-shaped pearls, 26 sapphires, 11
emeralds, 24 rubies and one large
ruby set in the center of a dia
mond Maltese cross. This is the
finest ruby in the world, and has
a bloody history. It once belong
ed to the Moorish King oLGrana-
da. He got it, according to tradi
tion, from an .Abyssinian Prince,
who captured it. from a Sultan of
Western Asia. Pedro the Cruel,
King of Spain, invited bis Moor
ish neighbor to visit him at the
Alcazar of Seville. The heathen
trusted tie Christain, and came
across the country, wearing his
richest garments and jewels and
attended by a spl ended retinue.
But before the hospitality of Don
Pedro was exhausted every one of
his guests was beheaded, and his
own hands snAtebed this ruby from
the turban of his rival. EdwardT
bought it from him, and Henry V
Wore it in his helmet at the battle
of Agincourfc.
Management of Cows.
A cow requires very little exer
cise and should be driven but^short
distances to pasture. The muscu
lar effort of chewing her food and
the subsequent process of digesting
the same and converting the nutri
tive elements into milk, new. flesh,v
bone, etc., amounts to a considera-
not be many years before the seed
: ; r :
ble tax upon her nervous energies.
It constitutes the allotted daik
work of a modern cow, with her
natural functions abnormally de
veloped for a special purpose, and
corresponds to the daily routine
work of a horse or ox. Every
scare, from chasing by dogs or
boys, involves an undue waste ol
nervous energy and consequent lo* s
of richness in the milk. If the
cows are to be pastured, let the
pasture be as near the stable a*-
possible. An abundance of as pure
and wholesome water should be
provided as her owner would pro
vide for the use of himself and
family;
Value of Cottonseed.
Cottonseed is fast becoming an
important factor in reckoning the
value of the cotton crops, says an
unknown exchange. So many uses
are found . for them that the de
mand is increasing every year..
nly a few years ago cottonseed
were regarded aW oriiy fit for us*
as fertilizer, and in some instances
as a feed for cattle, but now it i»
quite a profitable industry in near
ly every Southern town of any siz* „
and, after the oil has been presses
tromthem, for which many use?-
are found, the meal and hulls left
a^e used extensively for both feed
for cattle and as fertilizer. It will
of the cotton ‘ will be a still more
important factor in the markets of
the world' : .*'•
