a War Against ReApine Maehines aus
Agricultural Implements


Agricultural Implements
The destruction of reapiug machines
by tramping communists in Ohio and
Indiana is getting to be of such frequent
occurrence as to thoroughly alarm the
farmers, who fear that it is the beginning
of an organized crusade against agricui-
tural machinery. Notices are nightly
posted about the rural districts. warning
the farmers who are in the midst of har>
vest against the use of patent reapers
In return the farmers are posting notices
warning the tramps that any man who is
caught burning their barns or stacks or
reapers, will be promptly shot. The
number Of Eeapers already reported de-
stroyed is not less than twenty or thirty.
A few of the more timid farmers are dis
carding machines and cutting their grain
by hand Most of them, however, will
not heed the incendiarv notices, and will
protect their property at all hazards.
Any man who desires work can readily
secure it now in the harvest field. In
some places hands are scarce at 81. so per
day and board. Farmers think the

Debts and Expenditures.

SAe
Mr.. Edward Young has contributed
some valuable statistics to Financial
Opinion, the general conclusion of which
is that the foreign Indebtedness of the
United States amounts at the present
moment to e210,000,0OO. There were
no national securities held away from
home at the outbreak OF the civil war.
the only securities held abroad being
some state bonds aud some railway shares
and bonds. An estimate of 100000, 600
is believed to be ample allowance for
these ante.bellum securities, SO it follows
that E20o, ,000, 900 Of the whole indebted,
ness has been incurred during the uast
fifteen years. n
Mr.. Young incidentally gives some in
teresting figures respecting the expendi-
ture of Americans abroad. He estimates
that from 10000 to $4,000 Americans
visit Europe annually, expending on an
average FROM st60 to G200 each. The
total annual expenditure, therefore, of
citizens of the United States residing or
travelling in Europe amounts TO e..
100000 This large sum, annually ex-
pended in Europe, is, however, counter.
balanced in part by the expenditures of
foreigners in the United States, on busi-
ness or for pleasure, and in part bv
amounts brought by the large number
of immigrants who make America their
home. OF these two classes 4,379,413
persons have arrived in America during
the last fifteen years.
The average amount of money brought
4 ,to scfaf
to e20, and, taking this as correct esti-
mate, it follows that during the last
fifteen years the aggregate sum taken to
America by immigrants and other alien
passengers amounts to ESQ, 56O,Ol7-a
sum almost exactly equal to the esti-
mated expenditure Of citizens of the
United States in foreign countries. THE

Budding Fruit Trees,

I. T. Quinn, in Scribner's, gives these
directions for budding orchard trees:
The proper time for budding extends
from the middle of July until the first
of September. Whenever the bark
separates easily from the wood, the buds
may be set with fair chance of success,
The outfit for building consists of some
narrow strips of bass mating such as
come on the inside of coffee bags, and q
pocket knife with single blade, with a
small piece o.. worry fastened in the end
OF the handle. When the incision is
made, the ivory is used to raise the bark
up on either side, 80 the bud NAV be
pressed into place. The buds to be in.
serted should be cut from young, healthy
trees, and always of the present years
growth, those that are most matured
being selected. The leaves may then be
clipped off the branch of buds, leaving
say balf an inch of the leaf stalk attached
to the bud. Then, with a keen-edped
knife cut off each bud separately, from
halt to three quarters of an inch in
length, leaving thin slice of wood back
of the eye or tud. These should be kept
moist and protected from the sun or air
until set; exposure, even for short
time, may prove fatal.
? When the whole top, or any part of it,
Is to be budded over, select the spot for
each bud in smooth part of the branch,
not too large, say from one to two inches
In diameter. On this part make an in~
cision through the bark in
the form of the capital letter 7, and raise
or separate the bark from the wood with
the ivory on the handle of the knife.
me bud may then be pressed into place.
Cut on square the portion that goes
above the cross incisiop. Then, with
strip of the bass mating, wrap firmly
around the branch, above and below the
eye, fastening the end of the strip by a
slip knot.

Americans q Long-Liyed Race.

We Americans usei to be STYLED q
short-lived race, and there was probably
reason for it. But we do hardly deserve
the name any longer, as any one may
discover by recalling the number of old
people he is acquainted with, and by
looking from day to day at the death
| notices in the newspapers Our average
of life has surely increased during the
present generation, owing, no doubt, to
| increased knowledge of, and regard for,
hygiene, to less anxiety of mind and
strain OF nerve to easier material con-
ditions and better adjustment of individ-
uals to their surroundings. 1t i; not
very long since man or woman of sixty,
even OF fifty, was considered old. In the
country and in small towns, people who
had scored two score and ten were
inclined to think they had done their
work and were prepared to withdraw
from active pursuits of every kind. This
is all changed. Persons of fifty and
upward in good health are considered
still in their prime. Hundreds of men
at seventy or thereabouts fill important
and responsible posts in all departments
of industry, and have no thought of
retiring, nor have they any reason to
think of it. They do not look, in fact
they are not, so old as their progenitors
were with ten or twenty years less on
their heads They have learned how to
take care of themselves, to husband
their strength, to conserve their facul-
ties. They are more in accord with
denizens of Europe, when men are
ranked as youths until they have passed
forty. The health of our people-no-
ticeably our wOmen--has improved
greatly, as our faces, figures, vitality,
endurance, power OF performance, abund-
antly testify. Take New York for
example, which, as the metropolis of the
republic, should be representative. You
cannot walk in Broadway or the thronged
avenues anywhere without being i'm
pressed by the white, haired men and
women who move with the spring and
suppleness Of comparative juvenility,
who are clear eyed, smooth.browed, erect,
iull OF hope, enterprise, plans for the
future. Who are among our most pros-
porous merchants, bankers, physicians.
lawyers, clergymen, politicians, authers,
managers A limited number of fresh
and rosy veterans who never suspect
that tney are old, and who, therefore,
are not old. Read the obituaries of
citizens, and note how many have lasted
to seventy five, eighty, eighty-fIve, even
ninety and odd. There is no question
OF it,. The nation is reiuvenating.
Years have ceased to count against us as
they have done. While we live far
more than we have lived hitherto, we
live much longer, and our average age
augment with each passing decade.

H sheep Raising.
II. Randy In the Austin Express. !

ii. handy In the Austin Express1
noticed in your weekly edition OF
May 2, an article entitled "Cattle and
Sheep Raising" copied from the Texas
Sun. If you will permit, I would like
to make few remarks in regard to that
article, and also give some statements in
regard to sheep-raising in Texas which I
think will be little nearer the facts in
the ease than that article makes them
to be. My object is not to DISCOURAGE
any one in the sheep business, nor to
prevent any one from engaging in the
raising of sheep, hut to give those
interested some reliable facts from which
to make their calculations. I am aware
that there are many persons coming here
from The old states with view of en-
gaging in the sheep business, which thew
have been led to believe from such
statements as the ene mentioned above
and many others of similar nature. is
a certain, quick and easy way by which
they can acquire fortunes. If the state.
ment made in the Sun be true, there il
no doubt that all sheep men would soon
be immensely rich but the facts are far
different and such articles a. thai !. q
calculated to do more harm than good
leading many to sell their farms and
homes in the old states, to come here
and invest in sheep, soon to realize that
they have been deceived. and. if
able, often return to speak iii of
Texas. Thus these articles or mis-
representations OF the profits on sheen
ralsingsin this country will in the Iong
run be disadvantage instead Of an as's
vantage to the state. The sheep business
wren rightly handled will paw good i,,-
