journal of Agriculture,


Large crops are not always the greatest bless
ing to the farmer. 1t is not the man who makes
the most money that becomes the richest but
the man who saves most. &c. also, the man who
makes the most judicious disposition of the prod
ucts of the farm is the one that comes out the
best in the end, and not always the man who
produces the largest amount There is usually
tendency to extravaganza, but there are
other evils besides promoting extrava-
gance that attend the production of
The present general prospects and present
traordinary outlook in some sections should
cause the farmers to call to mind some of these
evils. Marketing a corn crop from the West,
when the price is low, is rendered almost out of
the question, owing to the long lines of trans
portation. The great question then is, how to
reduce it to more condensed form. This form
generally is OF beef or pork Now, the first eff
feet of a very large crop is to enhance the value
of stock cattle and hogs, and the next effect to
reduce the value of both beef and pork. Ere
quently these effects are seen and experienced
to the extent of leaving the herd when fattened
of little or more value than before the crop was
fed into it. Many of our readers can call to
mind Just such occasions. In this connection
there are several points for the farmer to CON
slider. First that they have but little to do in
fixing prices. If the consumer is willing and
able to pay good price 1t is done if not then Il
less price must take the goods. Farmers can
not hold cattle and hogs six months a year
after they are once fat The next thing to be
noticed is that present indications point to lower
prices and there is no step more natural for q
farmer with large crop than to buy add
tional stock to feed it to, even at exorbitant
prices Ii the large crops are confined to a few
individuals or localities it is the right thing to
do, but if they are general it will result in loss
1t is no argument to say there is no other course
to pursue. If it brings him no more money than
he pays out the farmer at least had better crib
his corn and save it and his labor. So far as the
great mass of consumers is concerned the result
is different Though the farmer may lose his
labor the necessaries of life become cheap and
they are benefited, and thus the large crop to
them becomes a blessing For the individual
who cares for his own best interests 1t will not
do to embark in any great enterprise on the
strength of the profits on feeding, more
pecally if the stock fed is to be bought at the
prices that are likely to rule this fall, provided
the crops hold up to what present prospects
would lead us to expect

Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal
AIUNcIE, Oct. 3.-,Hon. J. z. Seaman, the cele-
brated Irish orator delivered address in the court
house square last night to large and enthusiastic
gathering of Republicans. His speech was repete
with sound and convincing arguments, interrninged
with just enough Irish wit to make it entertaining
He discussed the tariff question in way that brought
conviction to not few heretofore hating between the
two opinions, and proved by the records of the past
and by statistics that the Republican policy of pr0tec
ton is the only that will continue welfare and
prosperity He showed by the history of the past
that whenever have had free trade in this country
it has been given us by Democratic legislation, and
that financial disturbance panics and hard times in
varaby followed and that the only in such cases
for this evil was the adoption of protective laws,
which invariably opened the factories and mines and
gave employment to thousands of men at good prices
He held that the Democratic party had always been
closely allied with English IDEAS the most important
Of which was free trade.

cratic party stating that the Democrats of the South
alabama in particularly had done more for the cause
than the Republicans of the North. In fact, the po-
lca part of the speech smacked considerably of hav
ing been Dictated at least sanctioned by the
Democratic annex or Shiel Benson party Of Indiana
One of the strong points in the first part of his
speech that religion and the prayers of Gods
people would not effect anything and that legal pro-
hibition the only of stopping drunkenness
and the drink traffic but in bringing his arguments to
close he related incident in which he asked
by wealthy citizen of the old world, how he might
quit the of wine. His was call ON God to
help you which is the only means. suppose God

AMERICAN QUEENS.
Dressmakers Who Rule Their Customers
with Autocratic Sway.

New York Letter,
We are just now at the beginning of aseasons
novelties in womens clothes. Fashionable peo-
pie are nearly all back from the country, and
the bellies are forgetting the summer wardrobes,
and thinking about the autumn and winter ones.
In cross street close to Fifth avenue / saw
line of carriages extending the whole length of
the block. A funeral or reception, | surmlsed.
The garb of the women who are getting out of
and into the vehicles was not sombre enough
for the one nor gay enough for the other. On
the door-post was a small sign-board of famous
dressmaker. Said | to a caller whom | knew:
Il think an interview with the boss of this estab-
lishment would makeinteresting reading matter
She gazed at me with scorn and pity, and asked
if had ever tried to get into the presence of the

would be quite as easy as to gain access to the
sanctum of this eminent person. "Mly dear sir"
said she Il made an appointment with her
week ago for this day and hour. / could not
possibly secure any of her time sooner. There
was vast amount of formalIty, and l was fully
impressed with the difficulty and value of the
boon" There are, as l learn, wosalient features
in this falls feminine adornment. The first is
that women will assume a convict or zebra as
pect by means of striped fabrics so made up that
the stripes will encircle the form. Whoever has
any interest in the appearance of short and fat

freakish diversion on the part of the daughters
of wealth and leisures who are varying and belit-
ting the art tendency of the period by dressing
dolls. They have waxen efhges of themselves
made to order, reproducing in miniature their
own shapes as laced and girded for the putting
on of the outer robes. Even to the features and
compilations reduced counterpart is produced
By means of such doll the artistic effects of
textures, colors and styles can be tested. Some
times this is done by having the garments made
of the proposed materials, but a commoner
method is to paint paper for the purpose and
put it on with scissors and pins. To such an
extent was this idea carried by Miss LindeIla
