The AduIteration of Lard.

The Investigations being made by con-
gress of the authorizations of lard have
revealed the fact that the great bulk OF
the lard of this country, either for do
nestle use OF export, is adulterated with
cotton-seed OIL and stearine. The fact
being made public, the Chicago Farm
ers' Review believes, will result in de-
stroying our entire foreign trade in
lard, except as it bears label stating
what are its constituents and the exact
proportion of each. The European gov
ernments, and especially that of Great
Britain, do not particularly object to
food mixtures if the materials used in
such mixtures are sound and whole
some. But they have strict laws re-
curing all such mixtures to bear
label showing just what enters
into their composition and the proper
tons of each ingredient in the mixture,
and this it seems is the true ground to
take. Lard and cOtton-seed Oil are both
legitimate articles of commerce. But
when mixed it is legitimate to require
that such mixture shall be sold as mix
ture and not as pure lard, so that the
purchaser may know just what he is pur-
chasing. If he prefers such mixture to
pure lard. either on account of its quail
ity or lower price, he has right to buy
it. This same principle applies to all
food mixtures. The law can forbid the
use of unsound, injurious or impure
materials and compel their sale under
their true name and character.

Small Farms.

The impression is very prevalent, and
is one of the strong points of those who
advocate land reform, that the tendency
of real estate in this country is to accu-
mulaue in the hands of the few; that
the larger land owners are swallowing
up the smaller farms. Probably this
may be the case in some localities, but
in the country at large the figures
of the United States census
show the reverse to be the
fact. According to this author
ity in 1850 the average size of farms in
the United States was 203 acres; in 1860
it was 1919 acres; in 1870 it was 153, and
in 1880 it was 1874 acres; and this, too,
while the number of farms has rapidly
increased, and the area under tillage
has nearly doubled. This likewise in
cludeS the great wheat farms of the
Northwest, owned by capitalists and
worked by hired labor. 1t is now
pretty well established that the farmer
owning SO or 100 acres and working his
homestead, chiefly, with his own labor,
can beat the capitalist in the per cent of
DrOfit
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1888-03-05

this true? From an official report we
obtained the statement that AZ per cent
of the farms in Michigan are mort
gagged, and this should prove conclu-
sively that the farmer there is not doing
as well as we might think. The fact is,
low prices for farm productions from
high-priced farm lands are not
as encouraging as when raised
upon low priced lands of Dakota. When
inclined to complain of hard times we
should remember this and not compare
our present with that of time when
produce brought much higher price.
Carefully keeping out of debt and hav-
ing a definite plan for the operation of
the farm will at the end of another sea-
son prove that but few states can COM
pare with Dakotain the profits to be de-
rived from farming. Ifyour experience
has shown that wheat does not give you
a profitable return, then give your at
tention to other grains and to stock.
The same rule will apply to all farm
productions. Do not complain, but
commence the new year with deter
minatiOn to win.

Prairie Grass in Dakota.

The prairie hay crop in Dakota is a
voluntary contribution of wealth by
nature almost equaling in value that OF
the cultivated farm products, says the
commissioner of immigration. A large
yield of native hay of excellent quality
can always be depended upon. There
has never been in the history of the ter
ritory complete disappointment OF the
annual profits to the farmer and stock
grower derived from this crop, although
during some seasons the growth OF the
prairie grasses may be heavier and
ranker, and the number of tons
of hay gathered from an acre Of
ground more than others. This sea-
son the native hay crop is one of the
best ever secured by the farmer, and
the amount in the stack is perhaps
double that of the crop of last year. An
unusual activity was displayed by our
farmers in hay-making, because of the
well-known shortage of the crop in
neighboring states-and thousands of
tous have been harvested for export.
There is a number of counties where
the wealth flowing in from the sale of
wild hay for shipment, a crop requiring
only the labor of cutting and stacking,
will bear no mean proportion to the
amount received from products neceSSi-
tating a seasons toll accompanied by
all doubts and uncertainties of the farm
arS vocation

TO CURE A BALKY HORSE.
file Must Be Taught to Forget His
unconventional Habit

Inconvenient Habit.
A Wisconsin contribution to the Coun-
try Gentleman gives this experience in
curing ballly horse:
The horse has evidently learned bad
habit, and there is only one question to
consider: What can be done to cause
him to forget the habit? My horse was
just like his--would pull well on plow
OF harrow double, and on wagon sim
gle, but when hitched to a wagon
double lie was quite likely to balk. /
can now work him anywhere l please,
single or double, and am quite sure he
has not baked once for year. After
trying all the horse Jockey tricks with
out success, / finally went to work upon
a plan of my own, Which may be stated
in q few words-I simply cultivated his
fOrgetfulncSS.
When taken out of the barn and
hitched to wagon in the first place, he
would remember his old habit, but if
worked ali hour OF two OH harrow be-
fore hitching to wagon, he would in all
probability forget to balk. Again, there
Wero particular places where he was ac-
customed to bali; just before getting to
one of these places would rein him
one side, OF give him an ear of corn,
which tasted so nicely that he could
think of nothing else, and SO he would
forget to balk.
That is the key to the whole business,
and only one thing more need be said !:
Watch the ears of the horse, and when
you see that he is going to stop, say
'.whOa!" and when he stops, he will
think he did so because you told him to
stop, and will generally start at the
whip whip him no G unit at once nee. but have
some hay in the wagon. let him eat ten
minutes till he forgets the trouble, then
back up and turn around, and you will
be surprised at the progress you will
make in perfecting permanent cure.

Sterling exchange steady The stock market
was fairly active to-day, but was again weak
and declining throughout most of the ses-
siOn and the lowest prices OF the week were
:eached in many cases. There was renewal
of confidence on the part of the foreigners
and London buying orders made a strong
opening, but the traders were bearishly in
clined on the advices from Washington in re-
gard to the tariff BILL and when the foreign
ers were through took hold of the market

sales were made at advances over last nights
closing figures extending to u per cent, but
the advantage was not retained, the decline
beginning shortly after the opening and con-
tinued with but little interruption through
out the morning. The close was quiet and
generally weak at or near the lowest prices
of the day. Almost everything is lower but
declines are for fractions only, the largest
being 70 per cent in Norfolk and Western
Preferred. Railroad bonds were fairly
active but on lower range of values,
and a generally heavy tone marked the
dealings during most Of the session. There
was no feature of interest in the trading
whatever. The sales were 100000. The
most important decline was Denver & Rio

How shall we secure more interest III
the organization of farmers for mutual
protection? That is question that IS
troubling many who are anxious TO see
the farmers thoroughly organized. The
need of organization to meet the com
bination of monopolists who are daily
growing more powerful is felt by all
thinking and ObServant farmers. we
frequently hear the diScoHraglnG re-
mark, mo use trying to organize the
farmers: they won't stick together" Is
this true? If so, wav? To great extent
il has been true. To remedy the defect
we must look for the cause. We are not
social enough: the social feeling grows
or declines with cultivation. Isolated
as we are we cannot meet for social in
tercourse as often as we should, and we
care less for society. TO secure regular
attendance of farmers at our meetings
it becomes necessary to provide some
thing more than the mere meetings TOT
social enjoyment. In the past we nave
tried to make the meetings interesting
bv the discussion of better methods or
farming and kindred topics OF speciai

up the interest and attendance at
these meetings. In the purchase OF
farm machinery, Irvine and lumber, and

in our alliance work. We must not
only organize, but we must have
REPRESENTATIVES from each local ALI

CARELESS of personal OF partisan feel
ings. These are few of the practical,
interesting topics OF to-day.
Are you ready to join hands with the
alliance to make it what it should be?
If in its present form it is not what you
wish it, it is yours to make it what you
will. No division of forces are aimed at.
One aim, one organization, and success
is yours. No longer will there be lack
of interest, and no longer will our enc
mics be able to ridicule us as the one
and only class who cannot unite and
stand together for our common good.
Mutual protection is our aim. and equal
and exact justice to all mankind our
motto, II. l.. LOUCKS.
