OUR FENCES NUT FOR CHANGERS
TO CRACK.

1t is to be hoped that the
organization of the oranges is
the first step toward the eman-
cipation ofthe agricultural from
subserviency to all the other
industries, to most of which
the farmers are even yet hewers
Of wood and drawers of water.
We would have them bring
their cooperative powers to
bear upon what VIC may call the
fence tax more oppressive to
their industry than all the taxes.
State and Federal, combined;
a sclf-inflicted burden which will
encounter no opposition to its
removal from any of the other
classes. We propose that the
Changers should take up fhis
nut and get at the kernel, and
see how enormously expensive
is our system of Enclosure, a
system before which our forests
are being swept away like grass
before a prairie fire; a system
which, if persisted in, must Ell
feet disastrous change in our
climate and leave to our pos
terity an impoverished inherit
ance, like the modern Canaan,
which flowed with milk and
honey until the forests disap-
peared beneath the tread of in
waiting armies.
Has the average Granger
any conception of the cost of
our fences? Let him mark what
the late Nicholas Biddle assert
ed before the Philadelphia Ag.
ricultural Society many years |
ago, when the burden was not, |
near SO great as now: The
cost of the fences of Pennsylvj
MIA amounts to sIoo,ooo,Q
(onc hundred millions of della
and their annual expense to tel
millions!"
Again a distinguished writer
on national wealth says;
Strange as it may seem, the
greatest investment in this
country, the most costly produc-
tiou of human industry, is the
common fences which inclose
and divide the fields. No man
dreams that when compared to
the outlay ofthese unpretending
our cities and our
towns, with all their wealth, are
left far behind. In many places
the fences have cost more than
the fences and farms were worth.
1t is this enormous burden
which keeps down the agricul-
tural intesest of this country,
causing an untold expenditure,
besides the loss of the land the
fences occupy"
Another prominent writer
as follows: 'Estimat-
lug a chestnut post and rail
fence to last eighteen years, and
including inside fencing and re- :
pairs, the annual tax to the
farmer holding $50 acres will
be sI3o to SI4o, and, judging
from present appearances, this
tax seems to be eternal and
there seems but little hope of
escape frori it."
We might go on and fill col
umns with denuciation of the
fence iniquity, but we hope that
what we have said will set our :
Granger friends to thinking and
ciphering, and induce them to
mark, learn and inwardly digest
The kernel of our nut.

The powers of a horses men,
DRY were illustrated at Rochest-
er, N, Y, recently, where the
driver of a Observation-Disclosures
truck tried an experiment.
Three and a half years ago the
city sold a team of horses that
had been used for drawing the
truck, and since then they had
been employed in different work
One day recently the driver
took the horses into the truck
house and Turned them loose,
whereupon each went directly
to his own stall, and when a
gong was sounded they ran out
and took thir accustomed posi-
tons at the tongue of the ma

Fruit Growing by Small Tarraors
Fruit Recorder.l

Fruit Recorder
We know small farmer Wit
is in pretty close circumstance
having a family of FIVE chill
dren, one boy and four girls. =
He has a small farm, 90 to x
aeres--not enough to hire a mar
and yet rather too much for {
green hand to put into fruit; il
fact we would not advise him &c
plant SO largely with the prices
of fruits as they are in this sec.
ton or neighborhood. Straw
berries and raspberrics six to
eight cents on an average. This
farmer, at this season of the
year especially. has had hard
work to get hold of enough
money to meet his daily ex-
! pcnses, and but three to FIVE dol
lars per day for a few weeks at
this season of the year would be
great help to him, and keep
things going along nicely until
he could realize from his small
farm crops. We would add he
has horses, wagons, cultivators,
hoes, etc. sufficient so that he
has to go to no expense on them,
and two to three acres set out
III Strawberries, raspberrics and
blackberries would make but
little more work for his horses
than if planted in corn or pota-
toes. Now our advice to this
person is to set an acre or two
to strawberries and the same to
raspberries and blackberries-
say four or FIVE acres in all-and
set only old tried, reliable mar
ket sorts, such as Nicanor or
Metcalf for carly, and Wilson's
Green Prolific, Col. Cheney,
Charles Downing and Kentucky
for strawberries. Davidson's
Ihornless (black). and Highland
Hardy (red) for carly, and Mann
moth Cluster (black) and Turn
er and Brandywine (red) rasp-
berries, and Snyder, Dorchester
and Kittatiny blackberries.-
We name these because with
him they would be reliable and
the plants obtained at low iates.
The whole cost plants need
not be over one 500 for FIVE
acres, land this he can buy on
time until his fruit comes in to
pay. Himself and children can
get them all in, and in one weeks
time, if the ground is properly
prepared. He has we'll protec-
ted loanly soil in good order,
and if properly cultivated, he is
sure of taking in, at least, $40 to
$50 per day by peddling the
fruit in towns around him, and
among the farmers even at 6 to
8 cents per quart. His girls can
do most of the picking, while
his boy with a little practice can
soon learn to peddle them out.
With but little experience such
kinds of farm crops can be rails
ed SO that the care of such need
not take up much time in berry
seasons, and even if it does, he
can pay all the help he needs to
take good care OF such, from his
fruit receipts. But, say our rea-
ders, eff a few will pay him, why
not go into the business more
largely ?" Simply because he
has to hire the picking done,
which takes off Is to 40 per cent
of the price he gets, and by hav-
ing too many with the small ia |
cilities he has for peddling, etc, |
he would have to force them off |
at even lower prices to get rid of |
them. Start with the size plan
tation we name, and then, as
experience is gained, increase if
there is money in doing SO.

On motion the Chair appointed COM

After singing by the Choir, Rev. G. S.

ment from the Secretary of the Board of
Missions, to Mission work in Mexico,
was introduced to the Conference and
spoke briefly on the call to the ministry
and missionary work. His remarks
were well received, and upon their con.
clusion, DIR. Alfred Wheeler, editor of
the Pittsburgh Christi..l Advocate, made
an instructive an interesting address on
the missionary work.
Wednesday morning. at the opening
of the session, Rev. w. Darby conducted

In 1865 the Democracy, in National
Convention assembled, resolved in favor
of zone currency for the Government
and the people, the laborer and the Office
holder, the pensioner and the bondhold-
err and this resolution was received
with great cheering, and cries of "Read
it again"
The policy of resumption, as carried
out by Secretary Sherman, has brought
about the precise condition of the cur
rency for which the Democracy shouted
in 1868. We have one currency for all
the Government, the people, the la
borer and offceholder, the pensioner and
bondholder. rsasns ''i @t Hl
What is better, every dollar of it is
worth hundred cents. 1t was made
worth that by perseverance on the
road that led to resumption in coin-the
only road by which any Government
having, for any cause, to issue paper
money, did, or even can reach it. 1t is
the result of the redemption of the
promise to pay the paper when present
ed. in money. '".
But the Democrats are not satisfied
with that. Tom Ewing is openly for a
policy that would inevitably result in
the depreciation of paper, while the
bondholder, by the terms of contract,
would be paid in better money than the
laborer OF pensioner. In short, he is for
a return to that beautiful svsfem of f.
nance that will reward the working man
with from forty to fifty cents on the
dollar, and Ewing has the Democratic
party in Ohio committed to that policy.

in "codifying the laws" found plenty of

That the Northern leaders of the party
should consent to this arrangement is
not, after all, 50 very strange; but it is
strange that such leaders can secure the
following of men whose independence
has not been broken by desire for Of

will refuse to submit to the imperious
dictatiOns of the South is becoming
more and more apparent. The Gazette,
in its willful blindness, may fail to see
the signs of the times, or seeing, may
refuse to confess to the truth, but all
that will not prevent the independent
members of its party from asserting
their manhood by voting the Republican

Several years before the War of the
Rebellion the Democrats of the North
surrendered their manhood, their honor
and their patriotism to their party as
sociates at the South; and then at the
close of Buchanan's administration they
did all they could to surrender the coun-
try itself to the same reasonable crew.
If Northern Democrats feel inclined to
resent this statement it would be well
for them to remember that it is no easy
matter to resent the clear and impartial
testimony of history. And then it
would be well for them to remember
that this piece of history is repeating it.

THE Legislature has adjourned and
the County Seat bill was left to slumber
among the archives of the Committee on
New Counties. We understand that
the Bellaire removal managers gave the
committee to understand that they did
not desire report to the House. The
reason of this will be found in the fact
that the House by large majority would
have refused to pass the bill.

IT is refreshing to see a Southern
newspaper state the proper doctrine as
correctly as the Mobile Register does in
saying: "The true doctrine is for hard
money, and for silver and gold of equal
value. The country can very well wait
patiently for the developments of the
next six months. AT present there is
plenty of money in circulation. The
only trouble is that we cannot get hold
of dollar without doing dollars
