CIeyeIand's Administration.

Senator Bayard writes the following in re-
lation to President Elect Cleveland's incom-
ing administration. These utterances of the
distinguished Senator from Delaware have
the ring of the true metal, and give emphat-
ic assurances that the people of the country
everywhere may rely upon the pledges given
during the late campaign, being fully carried
out. Senator Bayard says:
ut is certainly my hope that the methods
which have built up the abuses we sec on
every hand in the government may not be
followed by the expected authorities; if they
are, the election will have been to little pur-
pose and not worth the effort it has cost. 1
believe Mr. Cleveland is an affirmatively
honest man-not a mere abstainer from dis.
honesty-and with this as the rule of his adj
minstration, great relief must come. The
task of wrestling the taxing power of the
country from the organized bands of selfish
interests that have gradually come to con-
slider they are private, not public powers,
will be severe indeed.
"The civil service of ministerial offices will
gain in efficiency and reliability from nothing
so much as sense of conscientious moral in
dependence to the dictates OF the machine
which takes their money and destroys their
manhood. Hook hopefully to the Inaugural.

The GOOD OLD TIMEs.-Tax-payers who
complain of the high taxes of the present day
would feel better satisfied if they could see some
of the tax bills ofmore remote days. Mr.. VIM.
T. Watson, of Fallston, recently left at The
4Fgis Office two tax bills which he found in over
hauling some old family papers. One of them,
dated 1S41 is a tax bill in the name of James
Amos of VIM, the rate Of taxation therein
stated being "for county, road and poor lax,
Sl.05 per 500" If taxes were high, in those
days, economy, at least, was carefully practiced
for the bill is written on slip of foolscap
paper about three-quarters of an inch wide, the
receipt, for want of space, being written on the
reverse side. 1t is signed by Noah Webster, Col
lector.
The other bill is dated August 29lh, 1879, also
against James Amos of VIM. The rate of tax.
alton is not stated, but the sum total is placed
at Fl, 16 shilings and 10 pence, 1t is signed by

FARMERS FHE HOST INDEPENDENT.

The whole country is complaining OF
an overstock. not only of graiu but of
manufactured articles. a financial
speaker recently stated that there is
three years supply of iron, and o. sew
eral other products. This is bosh
there is not half years supply OF any
manufactured articles. But there is
an excess of many things, because the
production constantly going on, nearly
up to the customary rates, though not
quite.
The thought, however, we would i'm

dence of farmers as class. Take an
illustration. In the manufacturing

such time creditors are not likely to

VALUE OF OATS,

When the Northern farmer has har-
vested a good crop of cats and not much
corn or wheat, he is at loss to know
the true value of his crop as a food for
stock. He reads of various farmers and
daiTymsn who consider corn meal, mid.
dlings, and cotton-seed meal the proper
ration for beef or butter, but he has on
ly oats to use with his bay and straw
for all mis- cattle. One Of my neighbors
had !, ,175 bushels of oats, and thirty-two
of wheat, and his corn nearly ruined by
frost. Another, 400 bushels of oats and
for5y-five of wheat. Another. 800 of
oats and about fifty of wheat. A few
years ago inquiry showed that on seven
hundred. farms reported IN Orleans coun-
ty, the average in corn was not over a
half an acre to farm. The small area
is largely due to our short summers. II
is not quite satisfactory to be told the
relative quantity of fat and albuminoids
in oats compared with other feed. And
there is still more knowledge desirable
IN order to overcome the uncertain feel
ing that we cannot gain the best results
with oats. One daiIyman has reported
recently that butter from cows fed oat-
meal was softer than when the COWS
were fed on other meal rations. Yet
the batter-cow that beats the world.
" Mary Anne, of st. Lambert, - was fed
mostly on oatmeal. Also, two of the
finest animals at the Chicago Fat Stock
Show were fattened on oatmeal. This
peculiarly was noticed, however. that
when the 6eet had hung a proper time
to cool, the tal!ow did not harden as it
did in corn fed beef, but was soft. and
when the meat was cut up the tallow
followed the knife and spread upon the
/ edges of the lean meat. Il was too
1 soft TO cut smooth and stand firm
Some country farmers extend their sup
ply OF lard by mixing with it the kidney
/ tailow of beef. IL this there is hint
to them to fatten stock with oatmeal.
We are satisfied with oats for horses.
sheep, and calves from four to twelve
months old, but are in doubt as to their
/ relative value for swine and dairy cows.
Some feeders say they would as soon
have pound OF light oats as pound of
heavy ones. IL the value is as great it
may be due to the fact that in the great
er bulk of light oats there is more of
! that nutTitive portion that the mice Sc
