December 3*.—The Brit ish consul hero Is authority for the slntcm nt that New Orleans has Iwcn one of the chief ports twod by Boer agents for securing supplies for use tn the T rans vnal. and that British ships have been used largely In their shipment. Corn. It seems, has been one -»f the principal staple* bought for the purpose and was bought and shipped away from this port without ere-ating either comment or sus pi« ion. The British authorities, however, appear to have been poss, ssed of more or less information on the subjik-t for some time, tail have been powerless to stop th-- shipments. The plan, the Brit ish consul savs. has been to ship tho grain and other supplies from N<-w Or leans to Rotterdam and there reship to ports from which the Transvaal could be reached. British ships were used to carry the supplies as far as Rotterdam. Investigation here tonight revealed the fact that the quantity of corn shipped from New Orleans to Rotterdam this season h's bre-n in excess of 3.ooi>.t>W bushels, whll- the legitimate trade lias never required more than to'.tXX) bushels.

Hie Americans pur suing them through the hills, amid which they lied In every direction. Four Americans were wounded. Tho Filipinos' loss was large, resulting from a heavy infantry and artillery lire for threo hours into the trenches. It Is supposed tl at the insurgents were those who were driven olft of San Mateo on tho 'lay General Lawton was killed. They numbered probably a thousand.

The main attaeK -1 g party consisted of V'e Forty-sixtn Infantry, a troop of cavalry and artillery. Colonel Lockett command ing in person. The rest of the command operated front remote points In an en deavor to carry out Colonel Lockett's plan of throwing his lines around tho enemy and thus cutting off retreat. Tho nature of the mountainous country made It Impracticable to execute this movement successfully. After the Insur gents began to run there was a vain at tempt to use artillery.

Twenty dollars per acre he considers a liberal allowance fur all expenses, leav ing JIW per acre net profit, which spells prosperity, while 5 and 6-eent cotton means ruin. His articles show that the saccharine coefficient of south Georgia cane is much larger than that of Louis iana, and h n accounts for this by stat ng that Louisiana cane is grown on low, marshy land, where an excess of mois ture is taken up in growth. His investi gations have shown that south F.arida cane is richer in saccharine matter than any known, three gallons of juice yield ing one gallon of sirup of standard' densi ty; the cane of tills portion of tlie state runs about six gallons of juice to one of sirup. Ho says that he has some mush sugar, of which he expects to carry u sam ple on h!s next 'rip to Savannah to show the sugar men v.'hat it is like. This mush sugar is richer in saccharine matter than any other form of crude sugar, and Its yield in refining is correspondingly high. During tho war the judge learned to make a good quality of white sugar with only a very slight brown sugar taste. Tlie sirup was b illed until It "blubbered" all over, showing that it had reached tho point of crystallization, when a certain amount of fresh well water was added. This caused a second scum to rise, which when skimmed off left a perfectly pure saccharine solution, and this gave a white sugar. He attewards learned that tho loaf sugar in universal use forty years ago was made In precisely the same man ner. He asserted that this was not caus <d by limo or other mineral properties of the water acting as a clarifying agent, us he had used rain water with tho same success. As to the future of tho melon growing Industry, once a remunerative one for south Georgia, lie decluri-d it is pract.cul ly a tiling of the past. With the state of Texas one great melon field, and reaching the great cities of the middle west on a rate of from forty to fifty dollars per car less than w.- can command, the industry is doomed. This is borne out by .all in formation obtains ole; very few melons will be planted In this section next season. Tho deep interest lying shown In tho subject by northern capitalists as well as by those of s.|<;iniuili and other south Georgia towns has greatly encouraged tlie Jttdf'.o in ills hopes for the develop ment of tho sugar industry with Its im mense possibilities for the state and tho south. One piece of advice lie gave in a local pn.per some inon.hs ago lias been adopted pretty generally, and has proved of great bent lit; it was that the juice as it culm- from the mill should be strained through a filter of gray moss, which takes out solid partlcli s and clarifies it.

EGAN TALKS OF DAIRY FARMS VICE PRESIDENT OF CENTRAL ISSUES PAMPHLET. Rook Is Intended to Place Before the Farmer Valuable Information in Accessible Shape. Vice President J. ST. Egan, of the Cen tral railway, has just published an in teresting pamphlet entitled “Facts for the Farmers.” This pamphlet treats nt length of the dairy herd. Its formation and manage ment; milk, with fifty dairy rules; hog raising In the south; chickens, the kind that should bo raised; cotton seed and Its products. Tho matter was obtained largely from the government agricultural department at 'Washington. Mr. Egan is a great believer in dairy ing as a source of profit to Georgia farmers. For the past two or three years he has been very much interested in de veloping dairies along the Central. In tho first article on "The Dairy Herd" it Is stated that the cattle must be good and of the quality suited to the work. Tlie farm should bo specially adapted to the branch of husbandry In view. A good dairy farm is pretty certain to be a good farm for other uses, but many good farms in general are not suited to dairying. The character of the accessible markets and the means of communication should be carefully studied. The farmer need not seek far to find the best kind of cows for milk or butter making, or the best for the cream trade. Dairymen are advised not to buy at once a full stock of fullbred cattle of any breed, as that would require a large In vestment; well bred and well selected cows of the lino of breed desired seem to be tho most profitable for the practical dairy, or at least the best to begin with. It is better to pay JlitiO for three excellent cows than to pay tlie same for four good cows or five which are only fair. Good dairy cows deserve good care. Much de pends on the milker. An expert will get more milk fat or butter from the cow than the careless milker can. Good cows should be watered two or three times a day. Good advice is given about feed ing thu herd. The United States Is tho leading diary country of the world. Ten years ago .he annual value of the uuiiy products of tms country was estimated io exceed ♦lUu.uuo,- UUO. Inere are about l/.UW'.OUU cows in this country, or about one to every lour infiau itants. One good cow furnishes the milk, butter and ciieese for more than lour per sons, as large quantities of dairy products ure exported. In some of Hie old European countries, two or three times as much cheese is consumed per capita as in the United Stales. The average consumption of milk in this country io twenty-live and one-half gallons per year to each person. Tins means an ordinary sized tumbler tun each uay. The average uairy cow gives Jvd gallons of tank, per year or about enougii iu supply lourteeii persons provided it is ail used us miiK. The daily experts state that milk suould bo cooled soon alter coining from tlie cow, otherwise it is liKeiy iu sour quickly ana may produce ptomaine pois oning'. New lorn city consumes over i’W,- uvu quarts oi miiK per uay. Ten years ago id per cent of the pork used in Hie gulf slates wus snipped Hom tine west, binee IStW, However, mere Has been a lupid nicreusu in mo number ol hugs raised and a con esponding decrease In the living expenses ul uiuso wno raise llieir uwn supplies.

Tne southern stales can produce corn almost as cheap ly as the most luvureu regions of tne west. e great deal of valuable Information Is contained in the panipmet on breids of hogs mid the proper kind of feed lor them. Tile i’ly mouth Rock is suggested a- s about the best kind of fowl to raise. They are good layers, mature early, and make excellent broilers in from two to tweive months. T.lien there are Bra'i.nas, Lat.g sans, Legiiorns, Minorcas ami Dorkings. The Dorking is one ot the oldest dome*-tic fowls, it is believed that it was carried tu England by the Romans. It will well rcj.ty every farmer to read this pamphlet, winch can be obtained by addressing the vice president us tho Cen tral at Savannah. Piles Cured Without the Knife.
