THE BE TT Will DO.
The Springfield Farm and Fire
side Gives an Instance.


On the R0thamSted experiment farm
of Sir John Lawes, wheat has been
grown on the same land every year for
folty-six years. The average yield
for the thirty-siX years ending with
1887, was thirteen and One-Quarter
bushels per acre. This may be con-
sidered TO be about the best yield OBJ
tainable by good cultivation. without
manureS or rotation of crops. Since it
is greater than the average WELD per
acre in all the great wheat producing
countries, there must be some profit in
it, or wheat culture would be aban-
dOned. And SO of other crops. 1t
is possible, then, by reducing in
various ways the expenses of growing
and caring for crops TO their lowest
limit, to make some prOht for long
series of years by system of farming
that makes no use of fertilizers of any
kind. But for those who can 20 further
it is unwiSe to stop at this point.
or follow such system. Taking
it as starting point, increase
the expenses of growing crops 10y
the judiciOus use of fertilizers. The
yield increases, and the profits are null
tipliPd. Up to certain point the
yield increases at much greater rate
than the expenses. Ibis is why good
farming pays. Therefore. increase the
expenses of growing crops judiciously
but fearIesSly. and keep it up as long
az production is increased at greater
rate than the expenses.

TALK TO FARMERS,
Ex.Secretary Coiman Illustrates
the Working of the Tariff Laws.

Ex.Secretary COlman Illustrates
the Working Of the Tariff Laws.
Ex-Secretary Colman. In his recent
speech before the wheat growers con-
vention at st. Louis, speaking of the
effect upon the farmer of our tariff laws,
said:
II believe in tariff to raise customs
duties, in sufficient amount with the
sums raised by the internal revenue
system to defray the necessary expenses
of the government economically and
honestly administered. | believe the
tariff under our constitution has no
other mission to perform than to raise
revenue. There is no clause in the
constitution giving congress the power
to tax one class of our people to enrich
another class. If there Is such clause
| would like to have some one point it
out. There is 10 moral right, no justice
in legislation to enrich one class at the
expense of another.
THE constitution in so many words
says there shall be no privileged classes
in this country, and yet congress pro-
ceeds tn make class privileged to tax
the consumers on all of their products,
keeping all competition away from
them. and enabling them to derive large
profits OH their goods. and thus to lay
up prf icely fortunes secured from the
people who have earned the money
thus obtained by the sweat of their
brow. Is one man better than another
in this Said-to-be-free country, or one
class better than another, that they
should be secured in the extraordinary
privilege of growing rich at the others
expense?
IL have only been speaking of the
right, of the justice of such legislation.
Now let us see it's effect upon the
farmer. Let us take the matter right
home to the wheat grower and ascertain
how it affects him. Let us suppose one
of you has raised 1000 bushels of wheat,
and many of you have raised several
Thousand, and you are going to Europe
and take it to Liverpool and sell it at 81
per bushel. The gentleman from Chi
cago has told you that the Liverpool
market controls the price for wheat
throughout the world. You receive
$1,000 for the wheat, aud finding
goods low over there, you lay
it all out in goods to bring
home with you. You ship the goods to
New York, but when you get there you
find an average duty of AZ per cent on
what you have bought, for that is adj
mitted on all hands to be the average
duty imposed by law. On the $1,000
worth of goods you must then pay $40
to the custom house officers to be placed
in Uncle Sans treasury, leaving you
only $500 for the wheat, the tariff cost
ing the farmer on every $1,000 worth OF

Whittier was Farmer Boy ana

From the letter of the poet Whittier
to the Essex County Agricultural soci-
ETY., in answer to their congratulations
on the recent anniversary of his birth. a
few sentences are selected: LAS a rule,
farmers are intelligent, well informed,
and healthily interested in public affairs:
self-TeSpectful and self-respecTed; in
dependent landowners, fully entitled, if
any class is, to the name of gentlemen.
1t MAY be said they are not millionaires,
and that their annual gains are small.
But, on the other hand, the farmer rests
secure. while other occupations and
professions are in constant fear of dis
aster; his dealing directly and honestly
with the Almighty is safer than specu-
latiOn.
His life is no game of chance, and his
investments in the earth are better than
in stock companies and syndicates. As
to profits, If our farmers could care less
for the comfort of themselves and their
families. they could consent to live as
their ancestors once lived, and as the
pioneers of the new countries now live,
they could, with their present facilities,
no doubt double their incomes. But
what pitiful gain this would he at the

the creamer can be kept from freezing
in winter by placing small stove, if
necessary, in the room. The stove
would also be very useful at churn-
