FARM AND HOUSEHOLDS.

AS soon as the sweet corn be-
,omes too hard for family use the
stalks should be cut down. as the fod-
der is then in the best possible condi-
ton for stock.
The horse-troughs and barn-lofts
are no places for the hens If hens
are allowed to make nests in the sta
bles they may not only create filth
therein, but also carry lice in with
them
-Turnips should be harvested Ey
pulling them up. Do not bruise them
if it can be avoided. Cut the tops
away from the bulbs, and feed the
leaves to stock Let the crop remain
in the ground until late before har-
vesting.
Only the careful. provident farmer
can really appreciate the great relief
of ample corn fodder supplies It is
he only who rightly improves the OPP
portunity for procuring them when
the earth is kept moist and productive
by the early rains.
Save the best stalks of corn from
which to procure seed. and when the
seed is fully matured select the best
ears. Seed corn should be allowed to
thoroughly dry on the stalk. and when
dry, warm place.

Fruit trees can not thrive on all
kinds of exhausted soil The trees
will make a growth of leaves and
wood on poor land, but they require
mineral manure to perfect the fruit.
Land that has been too rough for
blowing may yet have spaces between
the rocks where fruit trees will thrive,
and is better than land that has been
exhausted by long cropping.
Orchards, says the Maryland
Farmer. generally produce full crops
only every other year. This is be
cause the full crop of the year 80 ex-
hausts the fruit-producing qualities of
the soil that 1t is not able to produce q
free crop the next year. Give it q
good supply of the proper kind Of
manure and then make up for the loss
of the fruit-producing qualities of the
soil. and you may expect good crops
every year. provided you treat your
trees properly in other respects.

GOING INTO DEBT.

A Vice Which Keeps Western Farmers
Poor and Fosters Discomfort.
When we have seen so many new
farm implements going past our win
dows to the country for the past three
months we have wondered what 1.-The
harvest will be-" We regret to say
most of these farm implements have
been purchased on time. To this has
been added new wagons and carriages,
all on credit So long as this way OF
doing business is continued there will
be cramped farmers, mortgages. per-
sonal and real. and hard times. No
government, nor the smiles of Provi-
dence in abundant crops. will ever
make money to pay such recklessly
contracted debts. All of these farm
implements, on account of the rage to
buy on credit, are on an average sold
for two or three times the actual cost
of construction. This is necessity
caused by having to send out glib
tongued and high-priced solicitors,
and the total loss on sales in many
cases, the interest on the money in
ers and the heavy taxes for royalty
But it is done. The scheme is yearly
going on And now at about the close
of one of the most productive years in
a decade, what is the prospect of farm
ers paying for their high priced and
fancy implements. Oats are from Is
to 18 cents per bushel and the prospect
for corn is no higher. Hogs 1915 and

this does not include several items
such as bins for storage, and the SUI
perintendence of the owner. The only
way we can see for the safety of the
farmer is to savagely and sternly drive
every peddler from your doors and
never visit an implement store until
the money is in the pocket or bank to
pay for all things either for house or
farm. There is need for thorough re-
solves on this subject and answering
devotion to this rule of action Credit
is the curse of our country. It is this
which thatches the farms with mort
cages, and bows down the body and
spirits of farmers under many troubles.
And there is no hope for relief from
hard times until the cause of debt is
lifted so that farmers will not be COM
PEELED to sell their crops and stock un-
til they are ready. When a farmer is

Such changes have now occurred.
The Treasurer at Washington and the
Assistant Treasurer at New York
have been replaced by new men; and
an inquiry will be made so as to as
certain what sort of an account they
have rendered of their stewardship.
That inquiry ought, for many reasons,
to be of interest TO the country.
Exclusive of trust funds there are
about $195, 100000 in the Treasury
at Washington, principally in gold
and silver. In addition to this there
are S2S3,OO0,0O0 in new greenbacks
and coin certificates, and $21S, 00O,-
600 worth of bonds. Here is a total
of 696,000,O0O. Strictly speaking,
all of this does not represent money.
1t will all have to be counted, how
ever. The count in the Sub-Treasury
at New York win include about $685.
100000 The greater part of this
latter store is in gold All of this
will be gone over carefully by experts
who are not responsible FOR the Treas
ury accounts, and whose only inter
est lies in making a correct compute
tion, so as to learn if the sum of
money and securities in the vaults
with that represented on the Treasury
books.
Here is a grand total of values
larger than that represented by any
other national depository in the world.
1t is probable, though, that when the
computation is made, the money, sub
stitutes for money and securities in
the Treasury vaults will be found to
correspond precisely with the figures
on the Treasury ledgers. Four years
ago, when another count was made, a
discrepancy of &c was discovered.
The &c, however were afterward dis
covered where they had escaped from
bag of minor coin and rolled into
corner of the vault. In fact, the
funds of the United States Govern
ment, no matter which party has
been in charge of them, have general
" been cared for with a scrupulous
intelligence and honesty not often

Cats For Dakota.

When it was stated few days ago
that two carloads of cats had been
shipped from Iowa to Dakota by an
enterprising Spectator; and that he
was negotiating for another carload,
the item presented the appearance of
a huge joke; but it seems tnat it was
in real earnest and that the cats are
needed there to kill the mice which
swarm in the corn and wheat bins
and do great damage The market
rates for cats IN Iowa is from so
cents to u, while quotations in
Dakota range from $3.50 to SO, so
the cat merchant has a handsome
margin.
At the same time, while cats may
be much needed in the State which is
to be, it does look as though the
thing had been overdone. Fancy two,
or even three, carloads of felines,
squalling and splitting and scratch
ing, their tempers sadly ruffled by
confinement in the cars and their eyes
shooting sparks, released all at once
in Dakota and turned loose in the
corn and wheat bins! Why, blizzard
would be mild infiction in compar-
ison, and cyclone would be hailed
as welcome relief. Three carloads
of catsl Only imagine the concentra-
ton of cussedness which that implies.
Fancy the moonlight serenades on the
back fences and shed-roofs, the num-
Der of flying bootjacks and soap-dishes
and the amount of Dakotan swear
words, which are latent in three car
loads of cats. And then the future
of Dakota under this new feline dis
pensation The very first Legislature
will be compelled to enact some sort
of Malthusian law which shall APP
ply to cats in Dakota, or the situation
of that State will be more unbearable
than that of Australia with its rabbit
pests.
1t will be interesting to watch the
Dakota newspapers for while after
the three carloads Of cats arrive, and
see how the people take this extra
ordinary importation. At first they
will rejoice, in all probability, at tie
PROJECT Of getting rid of the mice;
but after the next generation arrives,
and they find cats to the right Of
them, and cats to the left of them,
they will possibly sigh for the era of
the mice, and wish the cats and theil
progeny back in Iowa.
just why cats are scarce in Dakota
at the present time does not appear.
There is scarcely any place in the
United States where felis domestica
is not quite as numerous as is neces-
sarY, and why Dakota should be a
catless land is somewhat Of mystery.
1t may be that the cat, which is a
very sagacious animal, has grown
tired of living under a territorial form
of government and has emigrated to
places where the people can make
their own laws. But this is only idle
