How Much from an Acree


How much profit an acre can be made to pro
duce is a question of paramount Importance to
every tiller of the soil. 1t is practical COMPARE
lively easy Of solution and contains the gist of
the entire business of cropping. The average
farmer can afford to ignore almost any other
single item of information within his reach bet
ter than this one, and yet how many of our
readers have worked this out for themselves
How many will come forward and say II know
from practical experience just what carefully,
titled acre, in an average season, will doY'
There is perhaps, not man whose eye will fall
on this page who cannot, IN the coming season
set apart an acre for experiment in this line
with profit 1t will pay to do so not only for
what the acre will actually grow but for what
will be learned in bringing out its capabilities
The work on one acre affords the basis for care
full calculation and planning for the work of the
entire farm. If problem arises as to what can
be done with this or that crop, under such and
such circumstances and conditions, the trial acre
is the blackboard on which it can be worked out
Much can be learned by reading and by observ-
ing the work of others, but that man is best
equipped for success who adds experience to OBJ
servation, and proves for himself what others
have found to be true.

REPUBLICAN BoLTERs.
Weakness of the Blaine Opposition-Charac-
teristics of ReformeEs.


"Gaths'' Letter.
There is opposition to Mr.. Blaine, you win per
ceive, among the self woIshipers. 1t will amount
to nothing in the long run. Most of the Repub-
licans are heartily glad to see the hitherto
spectacle renegades and apostates step out and
show their backs. No injury can happen to up
right Republicans from defeat at the polls.
The persons who will be wiped out will be these
renegades, with whom gentlemen will be here
after afraid to consort. Politics is the next
thing TO war. When man is intrusted with
political part to play Ire has been given honor
which he should be as careful about as if his
wife or daughter were concerned Semitic a con
vention to do the august work Of nominating
ruler of the country, the man who reserves the
idea that he put the knife to the nomination Is
an assassin. 1t makes difference what his
past record has been, how loudly he cried for
freedom from the rear and stayed there during
the conflict The genteness of his editorials
and lectures cannot obscure the fact that IN all
the elements of patience obedience and loyalty
he is q failure and fraud.

come flightful violence to human mature, and
could not support the nomination because they
were conscious of their own inhumanity. 1t
matters nothing to the young men who have
acted with the Republican party if Blaine is
beaten; they can fall into line behind their chief

I gave it a good coat of hot oil, and every year
since it has had coat of oil or paint, sometimes
both The tires are tight yet and they have not
been set for eight or nine years. Many farmers
think that as soon as wagon felloes begin to
shrink they must go at once to blacksmith shop
and get the tire set Instead Of doing that,
which is often damage to the Wheels causing
them to dish, if they viii get some hnseed oil
and heat it boiling hot and give the felloes all
the oil they can take it will fill them up to their
usual size and tighten to keep them from shrink
ing and also to keep out the water. If you do
not wish to go to the trouble of mixing paint,
you can heat the oil and tie rag to a stick and
swab them over as long as they will take oil. A
brush is more convenient to use, but a swab will
answer if you do not wish to buy brush. 1t is
