WHAT A FARMER NEEDS.

A farmer needs his vacation just as
much as any man of business needs
one. A weeks run to town, after the
busy reason is over, will do him a
world of good. And they need to Wis
it other farmers, to learn, if possible,
,asirr or better methods of farming or
of living. They need to attend farm
ers' conventions and organizations to
gain new idcas-soRething TO broaden
or enlarge their view of life. People
aho always stay at home are sure to
sec the dark side and shadows of their
own lives. They need to learn and TO
realize that .torm. and drought and
hunder showers visit other farms be.

thrive in all degrees of longitude; that
flies and dirt accumulate and annoy
other households besides the one they
preside ever. In short, they need 10

for day or week, or could they ear

The new tariff bill is said to show
plainly traces of Mr.. Hewitt's fine Ital.
ian han1. Mr.. Hewitt is n manufac-
turer, and his firm owns rich iron mines
In Spain. While he has been opposed
to tinkering the metal schedule i'm gen.
eral, the thrifty New Yorker, with an
eye to business, has favored cheap iron
ore. The Morrison bill puts iron ore
on tn: free list. No further evidence
is required TO show that Mr.. Hewitt
made the most of his opportunity as q
mem ber of the committee to enhance
the value of those Spanish mines. -
This only demonstrates what the Jour.
nal has before stated: that this whole
tariff discussion resolves itself into one
of selfinterest, and not what is best
for the whole people. The greatest
good to the smallest number seems 10
be the motto of the average politician

either knave or fool, but we do be-
lieve that he is to certain extent a
mental and physic wreck, 20 the ex

desire for official position, SO that he
places himself ofttimes in a two-faced
attitude. While accepting the doc

WHAT NEXTl
to corn.

This is truly an aye OF wonders -
They crowd upon an astoaish;d peo-
pie thick and fast. 1t may truly be
said, We cannot tell what n day may
bring forth. The people no sooner
settle down complacently under the
impression that everything is moving
along properly and in the order it
should, than up bobs some scigatist
with new invention r theory which
upsets all previous notions of perma-
nency, and makes confusion worse
confounded.
The latest wonderful discovery was
made by Dakota farmer with sci
entific kink i'm his cranium, accident
ally, of course, as all valuable discov-
cries ere made, otherwise they would
not be worth continental dime. }
This great discovery is destined to de
stroy millions of invested capital, dis
rupt political parties and play sad
havoc generally with men and things
terrestrial. Reader, what do you think
this great discovery isl You cannot
guess; no, not in thousand years. If
you should live that long Well, we
one, the identical one with a scientific
kink in his Uranium, has a COW This
fact is not OF unusual significance -
All farmers have COWS, more or less, or
should have. But this particular Da-
kota farmers COW gives-milkl No,
not by jug full. Beerl Yes, actually
foaming cream beer, by the keg full.
There, now you have it. But don't al
of you grasp your pals and haste to
the fields and barn-yards, expecting
your cows to fill your pals with the
foaming amber nectar. The probabil
tiles are strongly against you.
The manner of this great discovery
was in this wise: The COW by SOM,
means gained access to the farmer
hop bins, from which she fed glutton
ously. The milk became bitter to TN,
taste and brownsh to the view. Thi
incident, or accident, gave the scien
tific German farmer, with the kink il
his brain, an inkling of what might b
done, and strsightway he commence,
a course of feeding with most success,

Alas for the breweries and saloons
for license laws and internal revenues

FARM LIFE.

1t is common complaint that the
farm life is not appreciated by our
people. We leng for the more elegant

saae and natural occupation, and
ought TO find life sweeter, If less high
ly seasoned, than any other He
alone, strictly speaking, has a home.
| How can man take root and thrive
without land He writes his history up
on his fields. How many ties. how many
resources he has his friendships with
his cattle, his team, his dog, his trees

SORGHUM A SUCCE SS.

The a0th Bulletin of the New Ter
sey Agricultural Experiment Station
gives the results of experiments with
sorghum for the season Of 1883. The
plots selected were of Uniform quality,
and had been in grass for three years
The ground was prepared as for corn,
and the fertilizers were spread broad
cast and narrowed i'm. Phosphoric acid
was supplied in bone black and super
phosphate, nitrogen in nitrate of soda,
and potash as inuriate and sulphate. -
A study of the table shows that with
one exception Qand plaster potash
was applied in all cases. when the Weld
of sugar was over 4, 00C, 900 pounds
per acre. Potash developed more su-
gar than any other single fertilizer, and
when combined with nitrogen, gave
the highest yield. Potash sulphate
surpassed the muriate. The superior
value of the 'sulphate for sugar beets
and potatoes is an old fact. At the
Rio Grande On. j. plantation the
plots having phosphoric acid matured
their cane earliest, Which corresponds
with the results in sugar le.t culture.
1t was found that the quantity of cane
is no index TO the yield of suger. One
plot gave three tons of cane per acre
more than another, but yielded be-
tween three and four hundred pounds
less sugar. The yield of pure, dry
sorghum seed was found 70 vary from
25 to 80 bushels per acre. This is re-
garded as about equal in feeding value
to corn.

he was in daily attendance at n gym
