Prairie Farmer:
Statesville, Tenn.

Prairie Farmer:
While the Agricultural Experiment
Stations and a few wealthy men who
can afford to make tests of new pro-
cesses without regard to immediate
profitable results, are pursuing their
investigations to determine the true
value of ensilage, the mass of farmers
need not hesitate to prepare for a crop
of the old style fodder. All know this
to be good and profitable, whether fed
green, or well-cured and preserved as
winter fodder, for most kind of farm
stock. Our best and most extensive
Western farmers now cut their corn at
the root, as the Eastern small corn
growers have done from time immemo.
rial. They carefully preservelt, and
depend upon it in winter as much as
upon timothy. Though not equal to
good hay, it has great value in connec-
ton with it. A sad waste of food
material is to let stalks stand in the
field untouched, or at best. half con-
sumed by stock; they are trouble
in after cultivation. But whether the
stalks and leaves are to be utilized or
not after husking the corn, there is no
better paying acre on the farm than
the one sown to corn for succulent fod-
der alone when grass fails in autumn.

The g. P. Presbytery on Temperance

To The Standard.
Below you will find the report of the
Committee on Temperance, which was
adopted without a single dissenting vote
by the McMinnville Presbytery of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church in
its recent session at Short Mountain
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TEMPER
ANCE.
Temperance is a cardinal virtue, and
one of the first of the christian graces,
and so essential to the formation and
development of christian character
that it occupies an elevated place in
the revealed will of God, and is enjoin>
ed upon all the followers of Christ, and
enforced by the most solemn sanctions.
All christians, therefore, must necessa-
rily be the friends of temperance and
must, with united effort, oppose every
species of excess. The greatest foe to
temperance in our day is the liquor
traffic. We may 60 further and affirm
that it is the monster sin of the age,
and is doing more to destroy the lives,
liberty and property of men, aye, and
their immortal souls, too, than all other
evils combined. Every christian, every
patriot, every philanthropist should do
all in his power to exterminate this
vice. In view of the above, your COM
mittee offer for your adoption the fol-
lowing resolutions:
1. Resolved, That we as a Presby-
terry will use all peaceable and lawful
means for the suppression of this traffic.
2. Resolved, That we are in favor
of an amendment to the constitution
of the State of Tennessee forever pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
alcoholic liquors. Respectfully submit
ted. G. T. STAINBACK,
j. D. WILSON,
w. E. BLUM.
A resolution was also offered by
Elder M. F. McCulloch which was
unanimously adopted, decreeing any
person Ineligible to a seat in the Nc
Minnville Presbytery who manufac,
lures or sells intoxicating spirits.

Considerable fluctuations during the
past week in the grain markets West
on account of sharp speculations. The
gambling operations in grain as well as
in stocks have tended to, unsettle val
ues, the bears pushing down and the
bulls pushing up prices, causing prices
to be up one day and down the next.
This gambling in futures should be
prohibited by the enforcement of Strin-
gent laws. Trading in futures tends to
unsettle and disturb the legitimate
trade in grain. While there is but lit
tie change to note, we may say wheat
is dull, while corn is little more acS
tive and in better demand. Eggs are
flat, there being no shipping demand.
Poultry is dull and not wanted for
shipment. Hens, like eggs, when they
get below certain price, should be
consumed at home.
