WACO. FRIDAY. JANUARY o.
The Farm,

Young colts should have good
yard, with q warm stall in the stable.
Feed them daily a few oats, and
keep the corn away from them; corn
is too rich . food for young colts,
while oats seem TO be the natural
food for The horse kind. Daily card
ing and handling young colts pays the
owner.
Sheep should be we'll looked to. II
there are any weak ones in the flock,
separate them, and place them by
themselves; feed little grain daily
TO your sheep; you will receive re-
surns next shesring time with inter-
est.
Attend to the hogs, and If they are
NANCY apply sulphur and grease
inside into I'm ointment. 1t does not
pay to keep NANCY hogs.
This country has 90 long enjoyed
. high state Of prosperity, that 1t
will be hard work to come down to
lower gains, or perhaps to loss or
ruin. To any rejecting mind, the
proposition that the country CAM OF
be very long prosperous while one
part is in distress, is almost self-evi-
dent. New York has perhaps
thought it had nothing to do in this
great contenst between the farmers
and railroads, but l think New York,
as we'll as other large supply points,
will find out that il the farmer is not
prospecting, then nobody can long
prosper. The towns and cities may
live of each other . while, but when
the farmer finds himself without
money, and unable to go to the town
and buy the dry goods, boots and
shoes, hardware, ETC., OF the country
dealer-the country dealer, OF course,
can't sell his goods, can't pay for
them, and what is more to the point,
can't buy any more. 1t seems to me
that this state OF affairs must, IN the
end, tell upon not only the retail
dealer, but upon the Wholesale dealer
and importer. One thing is now
very certain, let the cause be what it
nay, the farmers Of the West have
NO money. II the rest of the cout-
try can prosper while the farmers are
in distress, then there need be no anx-
iety or fear as to the future business,
everything will 50 on prosperously.
