the natural quality of Tiptree Farm is

PERCENTAGE OF CROPS IN ACRES.
United Kingdom, Tiptret

The cattle, which look remarkably
well, ARE ALWAYS UNDER COVER, and
the sheep, all of which are bred on the
farm, are folded within iron hurdles.
The fold, which is moved morning and
evening, is kept supplied with such sup
Elemental food as cake, corn, bran, &c.
The sheep and cattle have, at all times,
access to water; all green crops and
grasses are run through the chaff-cutter;
all roots are pulped; and hay and
straw chaff is invariably mixed with
other food.
The average quantity of fat meat
made annually for every acre of the IT'S
acres of which the farm consists is 200
pounds. Much Importance is attached
to this, because the manure made bears
an exact proportion to the quantity of
meat made And, at the rate of l lb.
of meat per day, he could supply an
army or a population of $4,000. He
may we'll say that if all the farms in
the United Kingdom equalled Tiptree
Farm in production, double our popula-
ton could be fed with ease-without
aid from the foreigner-and with some
thing to spare.
When Mr.. Mech took the farm it
was among the very worst in the king
dom in every respect, in fact it was
dear at one pound an acre, which ne
paid for it. He has doubled its value.
Most of the land is now his property,
and he accordingly debts himself with
$3.50 for rent af the It's acres, and he
calculates that the difference between
this and the sum of $500, leaves him a
net profit of nearly Is per cent on the
capital invested Of course the outlay
must have been very large; but he has
proved that high farming is compatible
with Ugh profits, and that the more
you put into the land the more you
take out of it. After paying all ex-
penses, Mr. Mechi declares that he has
taking one year with another-about
$500 left as clear profit

THE FORCE BILL.

The political monstrosity, known
as the force bill, and which by one
of the foulest of political rapes, was
conceived in the House of Represen-
tatives, came to its unnatural
death last Thursday week in the
Senate. The Atlanta Constitution
says it died borning and the whole
country feels better that the Forty
third Congress died with it. 1t was
a wicked measure, and there are
none, save Grant, so poor as to la.
ment its still born fate, and he can
only mourn as the maddened incen-
diary mourns the miscarriage of
some foul plot to murder or destroy.
Never during the whole wretched
period Of reconstruction nor even in
the days of our direst oppression hac
a more iniquitous measure been con-
ceived and that it should have SO far
fashioned itself into shape as to pass
the house of representatives is q
matter of astounding wonder. That
men protesting to be patriots, and
claiming to be American freeman,
should, in the light of this political
age, think of vesting one man with
the power conferred by this bill is
almost beyond belief. No wonder
that the Senate shrank from its foul
touch.

GOOD AND POOR HOGS.

| The following article we clip from
a Western paper, which is applica'
bic to our farmers 10 this section
and if they would follow the precepl
set forth, we would have peace and
plenty at home:
Did our farmer readers ever take
a slate and pencil imam evening and
estimate the true difference between
good and poor breed of hogs9 All
have seen and acknowledge three is
difference, yet the larger portion
of farmers do not realize ample mar
gin in favor of Ithe best hogs, The
increasing demand for hams and lard
10 all parts of the world shows that
hogs that yield largely of these prof
table parts are 10 demand. The con-
sequence is, there is a range in the
market at this time at St. Louis from
81 so to 81 so, and at Chicago from
81 to 81, showing difference of 70
per cent in favor of the good hog
Nor. il. that all. While the improved
breeds Of hogs can be made as easily
and with equal food to average at
fifteen months old $50 pounds as the
"greaser' hog will no pounds, or a
little better hog will 225 pounds. If
farmer has fifty head Of the latter
class to sell now he would get So per
cwt.-Sl.l25. If he has fifty
"greasers," which are too numerous
in the country yet, he will get 500.
But if he has fifty of the best Poland,
China, Suffolk, Berkshire, etc, which
have cost NJ more and which render
larger amount of satisfaction, he
will receive $2.450. These are fig
ures that cannot be disputed, and
are within the reach of every farmer
who has from 40 to 100 acres of land
in cultivation. The number, weight
or price is not over estimated. And
in raising them there ia no So per
day to be paid to harvest hands, nor
that ever dreaded season called
threshing Weswould not urge any
one to go into wild speculation in
hogs; but raise your pigs and corn,
then there is no debt to meet when
they are sold. Fifty hogs are a rea
sonable lot for a small farmer who
proposes to feed all his grain on his
farm. Now let any one carefully
look over these figures, aud if we are
wrong give a better statement
through these columns. Any man
who raises Fifty acres of corn can
have fifty hogs to sell every year,
and still have grain enough for his
other stock.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The Democratic party has before
it wonderful mission. We have a
most unholy trio-the alliance of the
national banks, the bond holders and
the protracted manufacturers of this
land. That alliance is absorbing the
vitals of the country, and bringing
poverty and ruin to the very best in.
terests of the land. We have our
internal revenue system, which i'm
poses upon Western products nine
tenths of the burdens of the whole
revenue Of the country. We have
an unnecessary and unjust extension
of patent rights upon improved and
patented machinery, under the ope.
rations of which the agricultural in
terests have to pay two or three
times the reasonable value Of those
improved and patented machines. -
The whole tendency of federal rela
tions has been towards centralized
and despotic power. A governing
State has been stricken a bleeding
corpse at the foot of the military
power. 1t is the mission of the
Democratic party to redress these
abuses, these corrupticns, these acts
of misrule and mislegislation. The
Democratic party STANDS to day as
the only national party in the land
the only party national 10 its princi-
pies, national in its objects and aims,
and national in its organization.
The Democratic party knows no
North, no South, no East, no West !;
the Democratic party prescribed no
man; the DEN cratic party would
have spared this country its treasures
Of money and its treasures of blood.
But when a fratricidal war was pro-
claimed from one end of the land to
the other, it was not the fault of the
Democratic party; and when the
war closed, that proud old banner
with its living principles written in
letters of gold in dazzling brilliancy,
was again unfurled. 1t has waved
it's fringes in the gulf and in the wa
tiers of the lakes, in the waters of the
Atlantic and 10 the waters of the Pa
cific, and it has proclaimed peace
and good will and fraternal feeling
to all the land.

CREDIT.

The way to get credit is to b g
punctual; the way to preserve it is
not to use it much. Settle often !;
have short accounts. Trust no
man, appearances are deceitful,
perhaps assumed for the purpose of
abating credit. Beware of gaudy
exteriors rogues usually dress we'll
The rich are plain, trust him if any
one, who carries but little on his
back. Never trust him who flies
into passion on being dunned, but
make him pay quickly, if there be
any virtue in the law. Whenever
you meet 8 man who is fond of ar
gumeut, you will meet one profound
ly ignorant of the operations .of the
human heart. Mind your own af-
fairs. Let all the errors you see in
others management, suggest correct
ness 10 your own.

Place one idea upon paper-another
will follow it, and still another, until
you have written page. You can
not fathOm mind. There is a well of
thought there which has no bottom.
The more you draw from it the more
clear and fruitful will it be. If you
neglect to think for yourself and use
o her peoples thoughts-giving them
uttsrance only-you will never
know what you are capable of. At
first your ideas may come out in
Jumps, homely and shapeless but
no matter, time and perseverance
will arrange and polish them. -
Learn to think and you will learn to
write. The more you think, the
better you viii express your ideas.

A HINT TO YOUNG MEN.

In 1885, young gentleman reg
istered his name in the largest hotel
in tho city of Louisville, KY. He
had a pretty good wardrobe, such az
young men usually have, including
a gold watch and chain. He was in
search of occupation. At the ex-
piration of two weeks, he took an
inventory of his personal effects
"Out Of work and no money" lie
had a brief interview with the pro>
prietor of the hotel. His trunk was
left as security for bis bill he hy-
pothecated his watch for the loan of
ten dollars, and having kissed the
tip end of his coral fingers to kind
and sympathetic landlord, he "went
diving for the bottom" He found
"bottom" on Water Street, where a
steamer was being discharged of
cotton by Dutchmen, negroes and
yankees. Having purchased heavy
pair of boots, blue shirt and over
alls, he commenced rolling and pull
ing cotton at the rate of FIVE cents a
bale. In three weeks, he was pro-
NOTED to the position of "marker,"
with salary of forty five dollars per
month, and the expiration of nine
months, he had right to grow mel
low over salary of one hundred
and twenty-five dollars per month.
To-day, this gentleman is one Of the
largest business operators in Bay
street. Young men, whatsoever
your hands find to do, don't be too
proud to perform it. Commence at
the bottom and climb up.

household matters. The planning
is pleasant enough, but the execu-

which economy denies us, and there
is where the shoe pinches. But you

To merchants belong commerce; to speculatOrs belong speculation, and to banks belong the task of conserving the public welfare. They can no more step outside of that sphere with safety than can a fixed star resolve itself into space-for the banks are them selves the fixed stars upon which rests the modern system of busi- ness. There is no affection in finance-there is simply justice.
 The scale must always be evenly balanced and swayed neither by passion, favor or prejudice. Equal and exact justice to all are consti- tuent demands of a safe bank; the guarantee that it is simply an en- zine of equality, regarding it's trusts and affairs dispassionately, with an eye single to it's noble du- ty, with calm forbearing eye that cannot be tempted by visions of temporary and unlawful gain. We repeat, the laws of finance are immutable as those of the Medes and Persians. It is to be hoped that a severe lesson will not need repeating"
