WASHINGTON. Jan. 30. 1889.


Messrs. Editors IL have several times
before trespassed upon your valuable time
by giving publication to several letters i'm
the interest Of Farmers. again hand you
letter which write with the view and
hope that Farmers may gather from it
some profitable and practical ideas that
viii rebound to their good. In the first
place our Farmers are slow to grapple the
changes that the future unfold to them.
They forget that every morning opens TO
them new day, 1856 days bring many
changes. New discoveries are developing
every year. To keep pace with the times,
We must seek and quote that which the
new era demands could with lengthy
letter illustrate more plainly the difference.
between those who keep in line with the
times and those who follow on in the old
rut in which their forefathers moved. Take
for example the thrifty people of our land
to-day and you will find them the ones
who keep pace with the times. Tobacco
no longer is profitable product. Corn does
not pay to raise beyond the actual require
ments of ones own consumption. Wheat
is an uncertain commodity, uncertain both
for its yield and to find market value
which would bring meagre compensa-
ton for ones labor Seven barrels Of Corn
Is the general average per acre for our
land. At $2.25 per barrel is $i575 he gets
per acre. The same acre in hay would
give him 3 to tons per acre--say 8 and
a-haif tons-the average at the low price of
$3.50 would be $4325 per acre, at less
than one half the cost to grow and market.
Rye would yield the same favorable results;
the yield of Rye is much greater than
Wheat and the straw is nearly as valuable as
the Rye ITSELF Oats while they seem to be
low viii net near the same result Raising
young stock is you may say all net gain.
Heneries have become very profitable bust
ness with comparatively little cost. All of
these products find ready market await
ing their arrival. There are many other
things that could be so easily raised at lit
tie cost and receive so little attention CON-
pared TO other articles which make one
poorer year by year. Il would indeed be q
profitable trip for every one of your Farm
ers 90 visit the thrifty States of New York.
Ohio and Indiana.
Yours very truly,

Iceland Wild with DelIght.

LONDON, March Ireland has been
wild with delight ever since the denoument
of the Times case against Parnell was an
nounced. Meetings have been held by
the hundreds throughout the country, and
Balfour's police have been taxed to their
utmost resources to maintain order and
keep the thousands of exultant Irish within
bounds.
LIST night at one of these Victory
meetings in County Galway, an incipient
row with the police seemed likely to break
forth into an absolute riot, but under the
counsel of few of the leaders the disturb
arce was quelled, and the good nature OF
the crowd manifested itself in simply guy
ing the officers and calling them "Pigott-
ists.n The meetings have besn most en-
thusiastic and those who have addressed
them have cheered their hearers By pre-
dieting a speedy end to the oppression Of
Ireland. Money that has been altogether
wanting for the continuation of the Par

is evident that the people are determined
