VESTS LETTER.
1t Is Still the Ruling Sensation

New YORK, Oct. pa Wash
ington special says: The United
States government has taken such
steps as will result in the retire
ment of Lord Sackville from the
office of British minister, beyond
doubt. This is about the only
statement concerning the outcome
of Lord Sackville's unwarranted,
impertinent medd!ing in the per
turbing political canvass, that can
be made on positive authority
here. In all other particulars
those conversant with the facts
maintain a discreet, studied 81,
lence, or speak evasively.
There is every reason to be-
lieve that this government has not
demanded the recall Of Lord Sack
vile. 1t has not gone so far, for
the simple reason that it expects
to see the British minister take
his leave without putting the
United States to the necessity OF
making such a demand. 1t is
known in high government circles
that the opinion was held that
after the plain fact of the minister's
correspondence with the undis-
covered Murchison had been laid
before her majesty's government,
the only course would be to call
Lord Sackville home.
1t is thought by some that Lord
Salisbury may possibly permit
Lord Sackville to resign, in con-
sideration Of the fact that he had
served his government more than
| forty years before making such a
colossal blunder, but that would
simply be a more considerate way
of ordering his recall, and the re-
suit would be the same. The
plain facts are now in. Lord Sails
bury's possession, and the Ameri-
can authorities confidently await
the inevitable retirement of Lord
Sackville that must follow. Min.
lister West has absolutely declined
to affirm or deny the truth of a
large number of rumorS which
found their way into print. The
impression created by his refusal
is that he has had instructions to
that effect. The most he would
say was that the generality Of the
published rumors surprised him
very much.
THE WRITER KNOWN.
Los ANGELES, Oct. 29.-The
Tribune this morning says it has
received information that w. A
Bell, the lawyer, did not actually
write the Murchison letter TO min
lister West, but that the same was
delivered by him to judge Fitz-
gerald, of the Republican state
central committee. The writer of
the letter resides at Pomona, is
known to the Tribune and his
name will be divulged as soon as
the occasion requires.
ADVISED TO RESIGN.

THE SECRET SAFE.
POMONA, Cal, Oct. 29.-The
holders of the secret of the author
ship of the Murchison letter, at a
| meeting this afternoon, decided
not to make the identity of the
writer known until after the cleo

tageously, the Democrats having
threatened his arrest.

Early FatteninS of Pies.

Young, growing hogs should not be
heavily grain fed, especially as IN this
country grain usually means corn. On the
other hand, relying wholly on pasture is
almost equally bad. "Pigs in clover" has
passed into an euphemism for the height
of pig prosperity, but the idea is an IL
fusion. If the pig in clover gets nothing
else 1T will do more squealing than grow
ing. But the clover makes an excellent
base on which to build a substantial ra-
ton. Grass is just as good, and on an
old, rich sod, is even better than clover,
as it does not dry up in midsummer. The
pig eats more and wastes and muses.
less. On grass as the foundation, the
farmer can now build up delightful va
riety for the pig in refuse potatoes, small
apples, the thinning of the beets, or af-
ter these are gone, some of the main
crop, and pumpkins. Any or all of these
boiled, and then mixed while hot with
bran, corn and oatmeal, or in fact any
thing nutritious, will make q dish that
will give the pig the variety that il

more than when they went into winter
quarters. l think We are not as well edu-
Gated In the art of feeding as We are in
the art OF producing and harvesting feed.
Too many of Us feed only for the purpose
of getting our stock through the winter,
and pretty we'll pleased with the result if
all come out alive. The trouble is We
winter more stock than we can care for
properly. We throw away thousands Ct
dollars worth Of feed annually, from
which We have realized no profit. Re
duca your focks and herds-use part of
the roQgher kind Of feed to make shelter
for your stock-feed more literally; give
each animal g daily allowance of grain,
feed for the purpose of putting on
pounds, making bore, flesh and muscle,
and in the spring you will be pleased to
see the stock Turned cut to grass almost
if not quite, ready for the block, while
your neighbors, who have "bit off more
than they can chew" will anxiously watch
their half-fed, poorly cared for stock
strive in vain to reach the market value
of your smaller herd. Feed them for the
purpose of putting on flesh, so yoa will
be able to realize when winter is over
that your feed has not been thrown away.
Your care and attention will not be be-
slowed in vain.

Feeding on the Ground.

It is a waste of feed of any kind to give
to stock upon the groud, and especially
any kind of grain. There is always more
or less loss that with good management
could very readily have been avoided, and
that would in very short time pay for
the expense of providing suitabls places
for feeding. Even the hogs ought to
have tight floor upon which their corn
can be fed, rather than upon the ground
Rough feed given to cattle, sheep or
horses, if fed upon the ground, is certain
to have more or less of il trampled down
and left. Tight floors, upon which the
grain fed to hogs can be thrown, and
feeding troughs or boxes to feed grain to
the other kinds of stock, with racks or
managers for all kinds of rough feed, will
prevent such loss. If all the stock are
kept upon the farm that the feed raised
will keep in good, thrifty condition, it
will pay to feed so rs to avoid waste as
much as possible. And where consider
able number of stock are kept, il will
make difference IN the amount of feed
well worth saving.
Is is well TO provide these early in the
fall. More or less stock will require TO
be fed at almost any time now, and the
arrangements for feeding should be made
as soon as possible. Take little time
and plan to arrange conveniently. It will
often make a considerable difference in
the time required to properly feed and
care for the stock, how the arrangements
for feeding are made. due regard to
the making and handling of the manure
should also be considered. The making,
saving and applying of all the manure
possible should always be made an item,
ana in planning the feeding arrange,
ments this should always be considered.
The feeding arrangements need not be
expensive: they should, however, be CON
venient, strong and tight, so as to save
time and feed.

FREE TRADE PALACES.
A Categorical Reply to the Wheat-and-
Reaper Argument.


It must be a great comfort to the farmer
to know that when he takes q load Of
wheat to town free trade England makes
the price, but when he wants to buy a
reaper tie nigh tariff fixes the prices.
The foregoing utterance is being pub
lished in the free trade papers and IS
credited to the indianapolis Sentinel.
There are two specific statements in it,
and both are false. The first statement
is false absolutely, and the second is
false by implication. The price of the
American farmers wheat is not made
by England alone. Nor does England
make the price of the wheat Of the Ger
man, Russian, French, English, or In
dian farmer. The price of wheat is a
resultant of the action Of one force called
demand upon another force named sap
ply. The field of operation Of each force
is worldwide. When the supply is large
in proportion to demanl-that Is, when
the yield of the wheat fields Of the
United States, Russia, India, Germany,
and the other producing countries is
greater than the average-the price IL
low, and vice versa. England is the
great financial center of the world,
sort of clearing house for the nations.
1t registers prices, but it does not make
them. It never has made them and
it never can make them. The needle
points out the position of the magnetic
pole, but it did not put the pole there,
nor is it in the slightest degree response
bic for the poles existence.
That is falsehood No. 1.-The direct,
absolute, unqualified falsehood. Now
for falsehood No. 2-the falsehood by i'm
plication. When the farmer buys a
reaper the free trader says "the tariff
fixes the price" So it does, but not in
the sense in which the free trader insin-
yates. He seeks to convey the impress
sion that reapers are much dearer here
than they are in England, and that the
tariff is responsible for the excess in
price. The opposite is the truth. The
best quality of reapers-the reapers in
most extensive use-are almost If not
| quite as cheap in the United States as
| they are in England or any other part Of
| the world. OF most other articles which
| the farmer or any other laborer buys
| the same can be said. the tariff is re-
sponsible for the price of reapers, as of
all other dutiable articles produced
| largely in this country, to this extent
only: The tariff stimulated invention
| and improvement, aroused competition,
and reduced price.-St. Louis Globe

The Democratic party is engaged in a
vicious war against this industry. Pres
ident Cleveland singled it out in his mes
sage. The majority in the house fol-
lowed by an effort to bring it into COM
petition with wool from countries where
10 cents day is considered extravaganza
wages to pay labor.
The inevitable result of placing wool
upon the free list in this country is thus
pointed out by Mr.. Edward Ammidown
in a recent number of the North
american ReuielU: 1.-THE United States
is the second wool producing country in
the world. Australia, with It's vast
area of unoccupied land, is the first.
South America ranks thiT<-, where land
and labor rank the lowest in value.
Russia is the fourth, with its boundless
wastes and semi-slave population The
total production of the world, SO far as
it comes within the field of statistics,
amounts to about 20, 900, 000, 900 of pounds
of which this country furnishes one
sixth part. This important proportion
must be considered in estimating the eff
feet of legislation tending to discourage
our sheep husbandry. A serious reduc-
ton Of the American clip, coincident

be quickly followed by an advance in
the price of foreign woods, with higher
profits for foreign wool growers and in
creased cost of wooden goods"
But that is not all, nor the WORT.
The destruction of the wool industry
would seriously affect the wages of hun
dreds Of thousands Of workingmen, and
cheaper clothing is not a compensation
fO1 n eff of
ciple may be laid down-that cheapness
which entails reduction of the buying
capacity of the people is disaster rather
than boon. The object of legislation
should not be to secure lou prices for
the products of the nation, but fair
prices, and with that good wages. This
protection will do for this country, and
no other policy will.-Omaha RepubZi-

THE FARM AND HOME
THE GOLDEN AUTUMN OF THE YEAR.
BY BISSELL CLINTON

As we rode down from Enfield Town
: And smoky London. gloomy
The skies above us lost their form,
The birds outsang from twig and SPRAY,
The sparrow chirped, BE gay, be gayri
The sweet-voiced marvis caroled clear,
And glowed along our winding way
The golden autumn Of the year.
As we rode down from Enfield Town,
Between the thorny hedgerows lay
The garnered grain fields, amber-brown,
And meadows still in green array.
'Ahi Love, - cried. why mourn the May?
Hark how the birds with slvery cheer
Shout Welcome through the livelong day,
The golden autumn of the year!''
As we rode down from Enfield Town,
Smiles saying more than words could say,
The sunbeams glinted DER her crown
or curls where zephyrs danced in play;
Eyes meeting eyes, she whispered, Nay"
Though dead leaves fall round summers bier,
Full joy find as through we stray
The golden autumn of the year.
