Stock Farming.

A farmer in the Cincinnati Farmers
World urges upon his fellow,farmers
the necessity of keeping more cattle,
sheep and hogs. For, to great ex-
tent, they constitute the means and
solve for us the problem of getting our
bulky crops to market at a nominal
figure. And many articles of food,
such as corn, fodder, straw, weedy clio.
yer, hay, etc., that cannot well be
sold, will be a material help in taking
on stock through winter. Plenty of
good stock is essential to good farming,
and these two must go hand-in.hand,
as one is conducive to the other. He
wants good stock, as in good stock
there is often found profit, where
otherwise there is none. Without
stock there is no manure, and without
manure successful farming is impossible.
The manure pile may be called the
fountain head of benediction.' Good
stable>yard manure is complete fer
tilizer, containing all the elements
necessary in the growth of plants, and
safe and useful everywhere. Most of
our commercial and concentrated ma.
nures act only as stimulant, helping to
attract plant food already in the soil or
make it available, so that it can be ami
mated by the growing plant. But
when these are exhausted, more barn
yard manure must be applied or green
crops plowed under, the grass and clio.
yer must be raised and then fed on the
farm and the residue applied to the
lal d to enliven it for future crops. In
selling any kind of animal food we
only get paid for the amount of nutri.
ment there is in it. But for the fer.
tility contained therein, which is a con.
siderable per cent of its value, we get
nothing. And the freight on beef,
pork, mutton, milk, butter or cheese
that can be produced from it will be
much more than on the article itself.
Keep your land rich, and Indifference
between deep and shallow blowing will
lose its Importance. Feed your land
before it gets hungry, let it rest before
it gets tired; for the reason that the
fertility of the soil can much easier be
kept up than restored after it has
passed away. Manure does not leect
through a good soil like it does in poor
soils, and has a much better effect pro,
portionately, as experience and agri
cultural science have taught us, OF
land that still has reasonable degree
of fertility than barren soils.

No experiments with various fertilizers
under cotton and tobacco were made
at our station last season, but we have
abundant facts from other stations and
prudent farmers in various States to
show the great advantage and exceed
ing Importance Of liberal fertilization
in the cultivation Of corn and tobacco.
Cotton seed meal gave us a consid.
cradle increase of corn, and so did
ashes prove most beneficial under
some crops. We often throw away or
waste materials which, if placed on
the compost heap, would give a most
liberal return for our trouble and la.
Dor. A dead dog thus placed, even
of the sheep killing variety, might
make some recompense for the evil
deeds done while living.
Again, let us not plant till our lands
are ready, though the season be late.
The fall before last we sowed some
wheat on good land which had not
been broken or in any, way prepared
for the seed, just as such crops are
often planted in our State. That plot
produced very little more than hall
the amount gathered from similar soil
properly broken and pulverized.
If it pays at all tocultivate the land,
it will surely pay to cultivate it well.
If we have time for only a limited
amount Of labor devoted to a given
crop, experience demonstrates that il
is better to give a part Of it to the
preparation of the soil before the croI
is planted.
| therefore most respectfully urge
our farmers to make haste slowly il
this matter, and delay the planting
until the soil is properly fertilized ant
prepared.
Let us save some time and labor b.
dropping off the poorer portions o
the farm. We will find no better sea
son to try this policy, and if there
ever time when manuring, or freel,
fertilizing promises good results, tina
time, it seems to me, is at hand. !
stimuli are ever needed to haster
growth and maturity, this tardy seasol
presents that necessity.
Let all the wasted organic matte
be gathered up and applied to tn
crops now, or as they grow. Let tn
stimulating influences Of labor and fel
tilhation be employed to the extent Q
our ability, then the advanced state q
the season need not dash our hopes Q
an abundant harvest at the close of til

operators who were at one time members
of the Brotherhood, admitted to-day that
movement was on foot in a quiet way
10 reorganize that body, The journals
published in the interest of the telegra,
piers started the agitation, and it has
been taken up by the Western Union
operators on account of that company's
action in reducing salaries Morti
ner D. Shaw, prominently identi
ned with the Brotherhood at the time OF
the strike last Summer, said to-day that
number of tirst-casS men had gone out
of the business since then, and the talk
was quite general among those in the SER
vice that, prohting by the knowledge OBJ
tanned through the last strike, it would
take but spark to kindle the animoSity
OF the men against the Western Union,
and the result of q reorganization of the
Brotherhood would probably be the
means of their 'going OUT ina body in
the near future. The only thing to pre-
vent this would be the failure of the OPP
orators to stand by each other.
Mr. Shaw continued: "The present
agitation is the result of economical
measures, added to the many other OPP
pressive features of the systems of the
Western Union. The cost of the thirty
days strike last summer was millions,
aside from the prestige lost by the COM
pany and the impetus given opposition
companies The over-capitalzation of
the Western Union renders it highly vul-
nerable and its enemies are increasing
daily. The strike of the telegraphers
was the first nail in the coffin, and now
the corpse is almost ready for burial in
the grave of governmental control of the
telegraph. The contract system pro-
posed by the Postal Telegraph Company
is mere subterfuge to divert general at
tention from the real merits of this queS-
ton, and can only succeed in increasing
the burdens Of the craft At a much re-
duced rate the workers must toll to add
dividends to the already overhlled Golfers
of the money-bags. Thescryce will grow
inefficient and clumsy as the better
talent deserts the business, and the bust
ness community which relies upon the
telegraph will suffer. The dividends
now paid telegraph stockholders are
collected by the 'Robber Tariffs of the
companies, and increased by exactng
and heartless economy in every branch
of the service. The need of the teleg-
raphers for protective Organiza-
ton is as great now as it ever
was, but they, as class, are men
who have not proper conception Of the
true principles of unionism and are dis
heartened by repeated failures Nine out
OF every ten promotions in the service
are based on favoritism, the necessary
qualification being the disposition to de-
ceiye, abuse and betray their fellow
workers, The possibilities of an organ

GreeIy's Views on Arctic Explorations.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 1S.-Lienten-
ant Greedy, when asked as to his ideas upon
the probable results of Arctic explorations,
said: Il do not think the North Pole can
be reached unless every circumstance hith-
erto found to be unfavorable should prove
favorable to the party attempting to reach
the pole. If it is to be done at all, it will be
done by way of Franz Josef land. 1t
could never be reached by the Jean-
nette route That there is an open
polar sea I am well nigh certain.
This is proved by the ice drifting out of
Mussel Bay and Spitzbergen in midwinter,
and by the northern drift of the polar pack
experienced by Pavy and Lockwood in 50
deg. min. Men can stand two winters
very well at Lady Franklin Bay, but their
physical strength rapidly deteriorates. If
we had had every supply and the necessary
amount of food we could, perhaps, have
lived eight or ten years at Lady Franklin
Bay.n
