81 guess these farmers who are
groaning about low prices and high
taxes, and who are longing for the good
old times, don't remember much about
the good old times, said a well known
Orange county farmer. II can re-
member when we used to haul our
grain, butter, pork and eggs all the
way to NewbuIg, going one day and
coming back the next. We generally
got fifteen cents bushel for oats, and
ten cents a pound for butter. Seven.
ty-tive cents bushel for wheat was
fancy price. If we got six or eight cts.
a dozen for eggs we thought we were
doing we'll. Nice corn fed pork, dress
ed, we carted to market for So a hum
dred. The butter we put on the mark
ct in those days, was the genuine Or
ange county article, yellow as gold and
hard as walnut. / sold tubful after
tubful of butter for 10 cents a pound,
.hat would net me 75 cents easy il
bad it, or any like it to sell now. That
was before the Erie Railway came
through here and put us up to selling
our milk instead of making it into but
ter We didn't have any lime.kept
eggs to sell in those days either. As
for taxes, | paid 500 on my farm of
one hundred acres, when l was getting
ten cents a pound for butter. On the

sold my entire dairy of milk for what

Prohibitorv Submission.

The following article has been in
type for some time, but Is none the
less appropriate ut present:
The house at Lansing yesterday
afternoon fought its fight on the ques.
ton of submitting to the people an
hibiting the liquor traffic, and decided
in favor of submission by vote of 81
yeas to 2S nays, five members being
absent or not voting-just the neces-
sary two-thirds in the affirmative. An
analysis of the vote shows that sub
mission was supported by AZ republi-
can and 90 democrats and fusion. and
opposed by 2 republicans and 26 demo-
Gratis and fusionists, while the five alb
sent or not voting two were democrats
and three republicans. Prohibition
has been tried in this state and proved
a dead letter; in other words, as some
put 1t, virtually meant free whiskey
while in force as law. The liquor tax
law has been on trial number of years
and results have shown it to be a
great improvement in various ways,
even with the lax manner in which 1t
is enforced. Make its enforcement
more rigid and this can be done
much better than n prohibitory law
can be enforced the good results
will be increased many fold. Notwith-
standing all this, however, the fact
should be recognized that n large and
respectable portion of the citizens OF
the state ask the opportunity to vote
upon the question, and in keeping
with our principles Oh popular govern.
ment have the right to have their re.
quest granted. Many who uphold
this doctrine and arc willing that the
amendment should be submitted will
vote against it at the polls. and do SC
consistently. Whether it is n policy oi
the republicans to bring back to Their
fold the wandering temperenzlers who
have left it may have something to dc
with it politically, but does not altel
the case morally or as a matter of po
litical rights, and the large vote from
the democratic nearly one-hali
the house democratic members-in it,
favor will tend greatly to upset any ex
elusive claims to temperance gratitude
the republicans may set up. But viii
the senate concur in the house action
is now the all important question
with the advocates of submission
Latest advices show reasonable Ger
tainty of but 21 votes in that body, Of
one less than the required number. -

The Detroit Post, says: Secretary
Lamars order to "honor" the memory
of Jacob Thompson, is equivalent to
a notice that a rebel against the United
States, is just as highly regarded un-
der democratic rule, as is loyal citi-
zen; and that, i'm case there should be
another rebellion anywhere, on any
pretext, those who join in such rebell-
ion may afterword be just as highly
honored by the democratic party as
those who remained loyal" We
think that if Gen. j. G. Black has any
of thr. manhood and pride with which
he has been credited he would have re-
signed at once, without running the
risk of further humiliation. 1t was
enough TO cause the bones of patriots
who fell that their country might live,
to turn in their collins, and their COM
rades who voted in way to make
such thing possible, should cover
their heads with sackcloth and ashes,
and cry aea culpN

Prepare for the Hatching Season

The time is now approaching for the
interested peultryman and the thrifty
farmer who thinks, and rightly. that
fowls properly managed are good pay
ing stock on the farm, TO make prepa-
rations for the annual setting of eggs
and Matching of chickens. 1t will not
be we'll for those having no warm place
for the young chicks, to attempt hatch
ing before the last of March or the first
of April. Pullets coming out ut tllis
time lay in October, and with good
care will continue to lay all winter,
when eggs are scarce and high, and
the cockerels will bring more for broil-
ers at three months old than when
raised later and kept much longer.
Keep watch of your fiocks, so that the
difference in their dispositions can be
noted. Use only those for settlers that
are quiet and not inclined to be nerv-
Gus. for they will invariably make SUI
rer hatchers and better mothers. A
hen that is uneasy and leaves the nest
frequently during Incubation, espe-
cially in the cold weather of spring
should not be depended on. Provide
the hens with large, flattish nests, and
place whole corn and fresh water each
day near them 1t is most necessary
to keep the nest and body of the fowl
free from vernin, for If they are not,
they will not sit quietly, and labor and
eggs are lost. 1t cannot be expected
that attempts at Matching and raising
chickens, will be successful, unless the
hens have been kept in a clean and
thrifty condition during the winter.
Filth causes weakness and breeds dis
ease, and the product, II any, of a SLOW.
enly kept flock of fowls, will always be
weak and Improbable in the extreme.

A Free Press Washington special
states that ''the dissatisfaction of some
democratic leaders there is steadily on
the increase, and although no formal
opposition has been made to any OF his
nominations, many of the democratic
senators have expressed to each other
their disappointment and chagrin at
finding that they have so little inhu-
choice OF their party" They DO not
object to the quality of the appoint
ments so much as the quantity, and
the fact that the president seems more
intent upon filing the Offices with his
own friends than with putting in the
friends and followers of the senator's.
If the senators are to be ellowed to
distribute no patronage, how arc they
