SUGGESTIONS ABOUT FARMING.

One lesson our people will learn by the
hard times now pressing upon them Is
that they must produce more to sell. 1t
will not do to rely solely upon corn and
bacon or wheat for our money. Our farm
ers must learn to make use of every re-
source to bring them means. Their butter
and eggs and their chickens ought to help
nav their household and table expenses.
Their orchards ought to give them fruit
for their own tables and enough to sell 70
give them spare change for good papers
and books. Their corn ana Dacoh
ought to be one of their princlpai
resources to keep up their FARMING
expenses. Their wheat ought 10 keep
them in bread and leave them seed and
enough to sell for taxes and extra eXpen-
ses. Their hay ought to keep their
stock in good condition to sell when the
market price is at the highest, and their
pasture ought to keep their COWS in good
order to give abundance of milk. Their
sales of horses and cattle ought to be
heavy enough to give them capital to
work with-for a farmer needs capital just
as well as the merchant or manufactured
Farming is business requiring judgm ent
and skill. If our farmers would look
ahead and use every resource at their COM
maud to increase their income, they would
prosper more, and the failure of the corn
or wheat crop would not so entirely eN-
haust the country.
With our superior climate and the faclll-
ties for carrying Oh successfully almost
every department of farming, there is ne
reason for our people putting their entire
dependence upon their success in raising
'hog and hominy." The successful farm
er SO manages his work that if he fails III
one crop, he will have others to rely upon,
Jor it very seldom happens that there Is a
failure in every department. Are not
these ideas worth thinking about?

THE Democrats are crying over the New
Hampshire election and threatening that
if they can't whip Grant alone, they will
get their big brother-the Liberal Repub-

THE poor Democratic party, beaten and

THE deep distress and silence pervading
the sanctum of our contemporary, over
the New Hampshire election is absolutely
painful. For months it has been busy,
persuading its deluded readers that great
disaffection, a general Generalization was
going on in the Republican ranks. Its
columns have been occupied for weeks
with long prosy quotations from Schurz,
Trumbull, Greeley and Sumner, and
the few bigoted mortals that read exclu-
sively that sheet, supposed there was little
vitality left to Radicalism." But,
alas, how false are all their representa-
tions! The Yankees of the Old Ora
mite State roll up their significant
majority, speaking in unmistakabIe terms
q rebuke to those sore-heads, whose per-
sonal piques have led them to attempt the
Reorganization of the party. The New
Hampshire victory shows that the people
think for themselves and that would be
leaders, unless they have real grievan
ces or cause for complaint, have little in
fiuence in revolutionizfng public senti-
ment. The issue is too plain to be mis-
taken. The people understand it and they
endorse Grant and the great and good re-
suits of his administration.

THE amount Of philosophy at the COM
mand of Democratic editors just now is
wonderful. They find now after working
like fury for two months to carry New
Hampshire that they didn't want vic
tory. They needed defeat to insure
Grants denomination, and now they have
it. Consoling that will be next Novem-
Der, won't it?
