thought, will precipitate this country

How can SlGs, O0O,00O of silver In
this country drive out 5000 00o, GOO of
gold? 2" asked Buckner.
"Gold is being exported very randi
"; this is occasioned by less trade.
The fear now is that the people will
become apprehensive of a Scarcity of
gold, and very soon, If export contin.
nes, will clamor for it, and it will be
hoarded.n

The secretary of the treasury will
say they cannot pay gold but
must pay silver. Then

1t is said that "outof the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaketh. I"
Our sympathy for the sheep has been
touched, which may have caused us
to say too much about dogs to please
some of our readers. The dog law en-
acted several years ago was unpopular.
1t was not altogether what even its
friends desired. 1t was declared un-
constitutional and repealed. Since
that, the dogs have had good time.
There may be some now who would
oppose almost any sort of law that
would tax dogs; they however, most
generally belong to that class who
never had, nor never expect to own a
sheep. We think if the opponents of
dog laws had been with us last Tues
day morning, just before the sun ap-
peared above CardwelPs mountain and
seen the five thoroughbreds Gall we
had) lying scattered over the lot with
their Threats cut, they would have felt
that some sort Of legislation should be
enacted to protect sheep and get rid Of
the worthless dogs, especially if they
had been the unfortunate owner of the
slain sheep. We have the greatest
respect for the good faithful dog that
stays at home and serves his master
well, as many of them do. Dogs well
trained and properly cared for are val
liable, and seldom ever get into mis-

THE PEA VINE AS A FERTILIZER

In connection with an article on this
subject from the Rural Record, pubs
lished on another page Of this weeks
STANDARD, the Record presents the
following facts, as given by an officer
of the U. S. Bureau of Agriculture:
eff the improvement Of the soil is
the principle ebjeetin view, no other
means are so sure and cheap as pea
vines, which may be grown at very
small cost and without materially in
terfering with other crops. A ton of
green pea vines contains 7 1-5 pounds
of ammonia, 6 pounds of potash, and
3 4>5 pounds of phosphoric acid.
Twenty-Five tons may be easily grown
on an acre and left to improve the soil
Such crop would return to the soil
1870 pounds of ammonia, or as much
as we would get from A tons of
commercial fertilizer Analysing two per
cent Of ammonia. They would re
turn $50 pounds of potash, or as much
as we would get by the application Of
three and one.half tons Of commercial
fertilizer containing two per cent. Of
potash, the usual quantity. They
would also furnish 95 pounds of phos-
/ phoric acid, or nearly as much as we
would get from half a ton Of ten per
centom acid phosphate If thesequan,

phoric acid, which we return in the
crop Of pea vines grown on one acre,
we're purchased from commercial
sources in commercial fertilizers, they
would cost the farmer $50"

Cannon Courier Mr.. John Throw
er returned Friday from visit to
Louisville, KY, Green Castle and In
dianapolis, and brought with him II
fine brood mares from four to six years
old and ranging in prices from sl25 to
SITS. They are all in fine condition
and give evidence of being good stock.
This importation of good stock to this
place by Mr.. Thrower is one Of the
acts that shows the enterprising spirit
with which he is blessed and it is very
commendable. If all our stock men
would exert themselves to improve the
livestock of this county as Mr.. Throw,
er does, our stock. although already
good, would be greatly improved.
These mares can be seen at any time
at Mr.. Thrower's stable. He desires
to either sell them or trade them f&
good mules.
