The Finances of Spain.

The New York Worzd thus summarizes
the financial condition of Spain:
Spanish loans and Spanish resources
(or either makeshifts) have long been the
despair of Lombard street, the agony OF
the Bourse, the Schleswig- II olstein of
Hamburg, the tic douloureaux of Amster-
dam. old Turkeys and New Turkeys
were bad enough, but when it came to
odd Spanish and New Spanish, to bonds
renewed bouds, hypothecated and guaran-
teed bonds, to Cristina bonds, Isabella
bonds, interregnum bonds, Amadeus bonds,
Republican bonds, Alphonsus bonds, to
resguwdos, 6onos, pagares, etc, etc,
most fnanciers locked up their strong
boxes, clapped their fingers in their ears,
and took cab for home.
'In 1868 the foreign debt was about
S3I5, 900, 600 and the domestic 1903, 000,-
600. Spain has always had large deficit,
and large floating debt to bridge over,
and every revolution has contributed to
aggravate this state of things. The reve-
nue. does not exceed 500, 100000, and
the expenditures cannot be got under $40
OOO,OOO even wher, as now, Spain pays
next to nothing to her creditors, foreign or
domestic, except promises to pay, which
again are retired by the sacrifice of new
promises. The registered interest-bear-
ing debt in June, 1874, was considerably
over $4,000, 900, 00O bearing an interest
of about s70,000,L00. This is said to he
far within the actual igure Of indebted
ness.
There is besides a permanent lean to
the clergy made in return for church prop
erty confscated, and totally unmanage-
able floating debt, in the shape of forced
loans, certificates, approximations, Treas
ury bonds and warrants, and the like, which,
even so far back as 1873, was over Sl,7O0-
100000. This enormous sum represents
simply the permanent deficit Of Spain.
The property of the Crown, the con6scat-
ed estates Of the Church and of the COM
muues, have been sold or pawned to the
amount OF over $500, 100000, and there is
very little more of this property. The
State forests have all been sold; an Eng
lish company holds in pledge the copper
mines of Rio Tinto, and the revenue of
the Almaden mines is pledged to the
Rothsehilds as security for loan. In
lI3, the receipts from this sort of sales
fell under $4,000, coo, and the payment of
Interest on the public debt had to be sus-
pended. Since then the Treasury began
to pay one-third interest ON consolidated
loan in cash, two-thirds in bonds at so,
their current value being only 90 to 25;
but even this failed to work, and since the
beginning of last year nothing at all has
been paid. The money for military pur-
poses is raised by farming out the stamp
tax, borrowing on short time at II per
cent, and paying nothing toward any other
object"

Clean Culture.

Every farmer knows the importance
of clean cultivation where the growth
of weeds intcrferes directly with the
WELD of crops; yet many farmers, who
as rule secure good crops at considera-
bic expense, allow weeds of all kinds to
trespass upon ground used, as turning
rows, fence corners, etc, which scatter
their seeds in every direction, requiring
the farmer each year to expend addition
al labor above what otherwise would be
required to hold his own with
them.
As the land grows older the danger
of this increase, unless great care is ex-
ercised in keeping up the fertility of the
soil and in destroying weeds in whatever
quarter they may present themselves.
Along hedges large enough to be beyond
the need of cultivation, and other fences
too, strip wide enough for a turning
row should be devoted to grass. In this
way the dirt in blowing may be thrown
from the fence as often as in the oppo-
site direction without difficulty, and not
only adds wonderfully to the conyen-
fence but to the artistic appearance of
the fields.
All these unsightly patches so often
seen about farm, doing so much dam
age, and bringing nothing in return,
may be occupied in some way to advan-
tage without much labor.
A grove may be planted, few shrubs
and flowers. or some of the small fruits
lay be cultivated to advantage. IF
time will not admit of these things
scatter upon the surface plenty of
grass seed and it will take care of il
self
Some weeds are SO prolific in their
seedbearing capacity that the ground be-
comes full of the little germs which re-
main hidden in the earth for years, to
spring up and choke the growing crops
whenever the conditions are favorable
To prevent this, farmers should not even
allow such to grow along the road
side.

hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restort
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray Or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The

MANY farmers, SAYS a correspondent

MANY farmers, says a correspondent
Of the New York Times, make a prac-
tice of rolling their spring grain after
sowing, yet this is not in all cases advisa-
bic. Often in the hurry Of spring seeding
crops are got in while the soil is yet too
damp and cold, and in all such cases
rolling the ground only packs it closer
and makes it colder and damper. The
spring is exceptionally dry, and the soil
turns up light and mellow after its win
ter pulyerization by frost. But even now
the roller may often be well dispensed
with. There are few clods to be broken
down by cultivation, and thorough har-
rowing will leave the ground smooth
enough. If rain should cause a hard
crust to form over winter or spring grain,
the roller will break it down and leave
better chance for light and air to get into
the soil It is better in such cases to
wait till the oats or barley are up. The
roller will break the crust, and the crop
will shade the ground sufficiently to pre-
vent another forming, whereas, if the
field be rolled Immediately after sowing,
rains are apt to make the ground hard
and dry through the whole season. A
light harrow will do the work better than
the roller, even after the cropis up, with
the additional advantage of destroying
the crop of weeds which usually starts
even with the grain Oats or barley can
be narrowed, at least when drilled in,
until they are three or four inches high.
A very few plants may be unrooted, but
those simply crushed down under the
harrow will tiller all the better for it,
and the great majority will not beinjured
at all.
The use of the roller in fall or winter
wheat is almost injurious. 1t smooths
the ground, leaving do ridges to protect
the plant through winter, and by packing
the surface the soil is more apt to freeze
and throw out the plant. The roller
may do good by making the soil moister
after sowing, but considering how much
more frequently it is injurious, it is safe
to say that the indiscriminat use of the
roller makes that implement quite as
much damage as benefit to American
farmers. 1t breaks Jumps, but a farmer
whose fields are well drained need never
have lumpy soil. 1t is sometimes used
to press stones into the ground on newly
seeded meadows; but the better way is
to pick the stones off: Almost all its
other uses can be better served by the
cult, ator and smoothing harrow, If |
were to use a roller on wheat land it
should be before sowing. to pack the
ground as much as possible, and then
drill iii the grain to make the surface
loose and rough.

DISCOVERY OF STOLEN GooDs On
last Friday, while Mr.. Ike Kelly was
removing some hay in his barn, his pitch
fork came in contact with well filed
coffee sack, which, upon examination,
proved to be filled with store goods, such
as are kept in country stores. a further
investigation into the hay NOV
revealed three more sacks, filled
with goods, amounting in value to three
or four hundred dollars. Mr.. Kelly, re-
membering that the Rldgcly store at
West Liberty, had recently been robbed,
sent word to Mr.. Rrdgely. who on his
arrival readily identified his property.
This discovery will probably restore to
Mr.. RidgeIy the bulk of his stolen
goods.

CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS. --- The
weather has been very favorable for the
holiday trade this season. Saturday the
the holiday trade assumed unusual activ-
ty, the retail stores on Market, Main
and Twelfth streets being filled with
ladies and others during the day. Deal
ers generally do not complain, though
there is no doubt but that money is not
SO plentiful as all would like it to
be- Everybody seems to be happy
and no doubt with reason, Tor there can
be no greater happiness than that which
animates those who are in the pursuit Of
suitable gifts to make at Christmas-the
desire of making others happy, Our ad-
vertising columns are consulted rs the
best guides by which this desire can be
gratitied, and tradcsmen who have not
vet announced their readiness to meet
, the Christmas wants, will consult their
own interests by availing themselves OF
the shor: time that remains before Christ
