ROBBING THE FARMERS.

With malice prepense and aforethought
every capitalist who goes into trust,
combine or plot to keep down prices by
simply manufacturing such quantity of
goods as the demand may make necessary,
is conspirator against the agricultural
classes of the country, and will, sooner or
later, have such an ending as most con-
spirators generally deserve.
Take for example the plow trust AS
soon as it was perfected the price of plows
went up 100 per cent. This increase was
mainly brought about by the steel trust, of
course, in perfect harmony with the plow
trust. The combine includes all the plow
manufacturers in the country, and 1t is safe
to say that plows are at least 100 per cent
higher than they would be if the duties on
them and the steel manufactures that go
with them were abolished Now, who suf.
fers and suffers alone this commingling of
trusts ? Who, indeed, but the farmer? He
has to plow his land, stand the raise, pay
the juggled advance, only made possible
through the war tariff, aud struggle along
the best he can under the additional load.
There is no combine to put up the price of
his wheat and corn--his sheep, horses, hogs
and mules. Competition is killed, and
whether the plow is worth $11 or $40 he
has to have it or quit agriculture. Only so
many are manufactured at home, and none
can come in from abroad because the war
tariff acts as an absolute prohibition.
all
by these taritf-protected trusts Not so long
ago we remember to have read an article
that in Chicago the threshing machine man
uiacturers met and formed trust Some
held back for while before joining the un-
holy combination, but they were whipped
through the threat of having their entire
business destroyed, just as some of the plow
manufacturers were. Now the two com.
bines are laying such tribute as they please
upon the very life blood of the country.
More than this, we also read where nine
teen out of the twenty-one manufacturers of
reapers, mowers and binders met at about
the same time and Immediately formed a
trust. Production is to be curtailed, and
the price of such farming implements ad
vanced rs per cent.
The object Of snch conspiracies is 10 kill
home competition as thoroughly as the tariff
prevents foreign competition. The farmer
in all these cases pays the fidler When
analysed they simply prove to be gigantic
combinations TO rob the farmers in the name
of lying and cheating tariff fastened upon
the country by the Republicans. How long
the great agricultural States will endure such
monstrous plundering, time alone can tell.
When they do finally get awake the land
will be visited by many political cyclone.

Facts About the Cocoa-Nut.

A full grown tree will mature from
sixty to one hundred nuts annually.
In reality the cocoa-nut is one of the
most valuable trees in the world,
nearly every part of it being useful to
man. The natives eat the young roots
and weave them into baskets. The
tender leaves are cooked like cabbage,
and the old leaves are made into cloth,
hats, baskets, cans, lanterns, etc. 1t
is also used for bedding, for matching
roofs, for fishing nets, even for writing
paper The magnificent trunk of the
tree furnishes canoes, house posts and
fences. The ribs of the leaves are SO
strong that they make excellent pad
dies for boats, arrows, combs, torches,
and no end of other things. When the
wood is burned it makes the very best
potash for soap. By a process of fer
mentation, good vinegar can be OBJ
tanned from it: and also fair kind of
sugar, which the Yucatecos call Gag
gerry" The name of the fruit is de-
rived from the Portuguese word cocoa
and the English word nut. Cocoa
means 'an ugly mask" and is said to
have been given because the end of a
cocoanut looks like donkey's face

OBJECTIONS TO SHEEP.
Some That Are Not Founded ON Substar
tial Grounds.


Some That Are Not Founded ON substan-
tial Grounds.
The advantage of raising sheep are
overlooked in many cases because of a
few difficulties in the way; but COM
parison of the@ benefits to be derived
from sheep with the disadvantages
arising will show that the faults are
due more to the mode of management
than to the sheep. Among the objec-
lions to keeping sheep are that they
Craze too close to the ground thereby
killing the grass; that they are subject
to loss from dogs; that they are liable
to foot-rot and other diseases, and that
the best breeds demand too much care.
The first objection, that of grazing
close, is really an advantage, for it
permits of utilizing the sheep on fields
that would afford no sustenance to
other stock, and enables the farmer to
keep a flock of sheep where the
land would otherwise be valueless.
1t is the close grazing by the sheep that
allows OF their use on poor soils, which
they enrich with their droppings,.
thereby making possible profit when
such lands are devoted to crops. The
objections that dogs destroy sheep is
true, but no farmer should keep sheep
except under conditions that fully pro-
tect them from all kinds of depredators.
To send a flock of sheep out to roam at
will, subject not only to dogs but to all
kinds OF insects, as well as to storms, is
not a systematic mode of keeping
sheep. They are entitled to the same
care and consideration that are be-
slowed on other stock. The foot-rot
and other diseases are often due to i'm
proper conditions. Sheep, if kept ex-
clusively on damp locations, will be
subject to foot-rot, and other animals,
if kept in the same manner, will be
subject to diseases also. That the OBJ
lection to sheep on account OF the best
mutton breeds demanding extra care
and attention is true is adj
mitted, but that such sheep give
a good return for the care be-
slowed is also true. While there may
be little or no profit from the common
flocks that are turned on the hillsides
with no care, it has been demonstrated
that the improved breeds will yield
large profit after paying for extra la
Dor and food. The improved sheep
will often weigh three hundred pounds
each, while the native sheep is not up
to one hundred pounds, and in value
the difference of two hundred pounds
is far in excess of the cost. There is
also a profit in another direction,
which is very important, yet frequent
~ overlooked-the improvement OF the :
soil. When sheep are, allowed to
forage over large area the manure Is
too widely scattered, but when the
flock is confined to a limited space
and changed to new locations, the
become of great value, ana
no objections to sheep can overcome
the benefit derived in that waY.-f1satd'
