attempting to grow general crop
there-from.
A hen that lays 100 eggs per
year, the eggs averaging eight to
the pound, produces more in weight
than does a hen that lays l2O eggs
a year that weigh twelve to the
pound. Eggs should be sold by
weight. II is not always the hen
that lays the greater number of
eggs that is the more servicable.
Feed the brood sows that have
litters of pigs literally on warm,
sloppy food. Skim milk is excel
lent, but if this is difficult to obtain
give her all the scalded ground
grain she can eat, with mess of
couked turnips or potatoes, ia
which has been added pint of
lipseed meal.
Avoid using Kerosene on peach
trees, or applying it to vines, in
order to destroy insects, as 1t often
destroys the trees or vines. 1t Is a
dangerous substance to use on
trees for any purpose. AS a lice
destroyer in buildings, however,
it has no superior.
When plOwing the land this
spring cross the furr0ws over those
that were turned in the fall, which
will aid you in pulverizing the soil.
Before planting run the pulverizer
over the ground and then harrow
until the soil is as fine as possible.
When you put out young peach
trees cut the sticks back to within
two feet of the ground. A low tree
is less affected by the winds, and
will grow better. Young trees can
he trained to any shape desired by
judicious pruning.
Cut out the old cane from black
berries and raspberries while the
ground is frozen. Trim the grape
vines while the weather is cold. If
the trimming Of grape vines be de-
rerred until spring it will be un-
wise to cut them at all.
Use your woodashes on your
fruit trees and vines. For peaches
it is the best fertilizer known.
Broadcasted over the orchard 1T
will greatly increase the growth of
new wood and invigOrate the trees.
When pear trees refuse to grow
and appear dormant cultivate them
well and apply plenty ofwoodashes
around them. Trim back the wood
and give the trunks a good wash
ing with strong soap-suds.
Dried, ground fish is an excellent
fertilizer, and is cheap compared
with the advantages to be derived
from it's use. For corn it is excel
lent, and it may also be used liber-
pIly IN Garden prOps
Cover the soil around the rose
bushes with well-rOtted manure
now, while the ground is frozen,
and you will have an abundant
crop of roses when the season ar
rives.
Young trees may be trimmed
now. Cut the peach trees back
severely, so as to get them stout
stocky. 1t will show its beneficial
effects as the trees become larger.
One part cement and two parts
of coal-ashes make an excellent
mixture for garden walks. If left
until it sets it will become very
hard and servicable.
The greatest enemy of the birds
is the family cat. She kills the
young as soon as hatch, and does
much of her work of destruction at
night.
Cut away affected limbs from
trees. Black knot, blight or injur-
ed limbs should receive extra care.
Warm beds for stock on cold
nights save food and sickness in
the herd.
About Yourself.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1889-02-23

From our regular correspondent.

Mr.. Randalls cammittee, or a
similar one will be Immediately
reported to the House, | shall not
be surprised to see the Senate bill
adopted. And l believe that its
adoption would create far more
dissatisfaction among Republicans
than Democrats.
Senator vest il going to have
some fun with the Republican Sen
ators when the Senate conferees on
the Springer Omnibus bill make
their report to the Senate. Mr..
Vest will prove by the Record that
int1S75, when New Mexico was
thought to be republican, that
many Republicans now in the Sem
ate voted in the House tor the adj
mission of that Territory along
with Colorado. Now he wants to
know why these same men oppose
the admission of that territory.
The inference is very plain to SEN
ator Vest and everybody else.
New Mexico is now Democratic.
What care these Republican
Senators for consistency when
party interests are at stake.
There is q movement here which
is said to have the Presidents APP
proval, to have Senator Kenna
withdrawn from the contest in
West Virginia. The idea is that
1t is impossible to have Senator
Kenna reelected, and that some
other Democrat may be elected,
thus saving the seat to the party.
AS compensation it is proposed
that the President shall nominate
Mr.. Kenna Interstate Commiss-
ioner, Senatorial courtesy making
1t certain that he would be immedi-
ately confirmed.
Secretary Bayard has once more
become Il target for criticism. He
has demanded the resignation of
H. HI. Sewal, U. S. Consul General
to Samoa. Sewal has recently
been a witness before the foreign
committees of the House and SEN
ate, and in his testimony regard
ing Samoa matters he took occasion
to express opinions criticising the
Department of State in some
what severe manner. Whether
Mr.. Bayard has done right or wrong
in compelling him to resign at this
time is a question, but like the rest
of US, Mr.. Bayard is human, and
has punished his subordinate Off
Ger for indiscretion. Anybody else
might have done the same thing
under the same circumstances.
So after the forth of march Mr..
Cleveland will resume the practice
of law, in New York city. 1t is
said that this is the preliminary
step to his being sent 10 the Sem
ate as successor to Senator Evarts
whose term will expire in 1891.
This is very probable if the Demo-
Gratis can succeed in capturing the
legislature of New Yorke as they
expect TO do. AT any rate it is
safe to say that man of Grover
Cleveland's experience, pluck and
backbone will not be allow ed to
remain in private life Such men
are too rare, and to badly needed
in public life.
The President has sent the bill
making an Executive Department
of the Department of Agriculture
to the Attorney General for an
opinion as to its constitutionality.
This action has has caused the cir
culation of the report that he was

e1vEAMERICAN LABoRACHANC

Firsi-class American work is not only the best
Of its kind in The world but the output for a
given plant IS much greater Il is not the
machines or the methods alone that accomplish
this last but the social status Of the workman
also. This is an inexpioable position TO foreign
ers, who do not accord wOrkingmen any social
standing whatever. but II is mighty fact here.
American workmen do more work because they
are more intelligent and are part Of all they
undertake; they have more at stake. They care
little about the quality Of their beer, but very
much about the houses they live in and the
clothing they wear. Their great solicitude and
anxiety is that their children shall be well
brough,up and have all the advantages that a
free county can give them. Thisis why the arts
flourish here. and why American engineers and
American maehinists are leading the world-Ths
Easmso.
And this, also, is why American industry
and American woTkmen should not be
taxed to death, but allowed q fair chance
at the markets of the world, which are
now in the clutches Of nations which could
not compete with America On an equal
footing.
But the hands OF the American
workman are fsttered. A high tariff
wall conpels American industry to prey
upon itself, by keeping its products out
of foreign markets, thus ovsrstOcking the
home market, the result, consequently, be-
ing depression, reduction Of wages, strikes,
lockouts and all the ills that aftlict Amer
lean labor.
Give the American workman but half q
chance, and he will beat the world.

A certain Republican politician one

there was but a single road, bat after

as a sort Of guidepost was an angel, who
inquired the name Of the traveller, sDd

TRUSTS AS SPECULATIVE NEDI
inns.

TRUSTS AS SPECULATIVE MIDI
UMs.
The Objectionable features Of the "trust"
are not confined to the suppression Of COM
petition ard control Of the raw material
market. The system is pernieious, also,
because Of the opportunity it presents for
dishonest speculation Of the phrase is not
Theological
The trust destroys competition not only
inits own product, but in the purchase Of
the supplies Of al kinds in which it is
NEST interested, securiDg them through a
general purchasing agent, and in this way
depressing rot only the buyers Of its own
product but all the industries dependent
upon it's patronage; but these are but a
part Of the functions Of the trust. The
Age Of Steel probably knows as much Of
the inner workings Of these combines as
any other journal. The trusts, it says,
are here for everything in sight, and
largely for what may be acquired by prsc-
tices peculiar to Wall street. We are re-
minded forcibly and frequently OF the
truth Of this by the OvercapitalizatiOn Of
trus, properties, as, for instance, a recent
increase to SIS, 600, coo Of nominal capital
on plants 10 a single industry Of an aggre-
gate value Of only SIS, coo, 900, and by the
various schemes to successfully hoat the
fraudulent stock.
These speculative operations, too, have
been attended with measurable degree
Of success. The mystery surrounding the
trusts and The potency Of name have SUI
feed to bring millions Of dollars into the
WhiTl Of a new speculation, out Of which
it viii never come, we venture to Say, for
those who cast 10 with more freedom than
they woald the bread OF charity upon the
waters. For the trust manipulators know
what they are about.
some Of these dreary days We shall have
a new version Of the wrecking process from
which il will be seen that other than rail
road securities may be systematically tor
tured."
