FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Trim your apple trees.
Cutworms do not like buckvheat.
Don't feed corn to sovs with pig.
Don't take any chances on poor seed.
Sow blue grass and red-top for lawn.
If YOU have not made your hot bed yet
do it now.
Peas will stand considerable frost;
beans will not.
Spring calves should not be allowed to
lie down on wet beds.
There's no way of cleaning dirty milk.
Take an ounce Of prevention.
The best way to keep hen from eating
her eggs is to make pot-pie of her.
Set out at least one tree during the
spring for each member of the family.
If you choose butter making, see that
your COWS give milk rich in butter fat.
Cabbage, caulifower, tomato and let
tuce seed ought to be sown by this time.
1t is best to remove the cream while
the milk is sweet, and ripen it after
ward.
Early varieties of grains, fruits or vege-
tables, are scarcely ever as productive as
late ones.
English farmers assert that there is no
question about sheep taking readily to
good sweet silage and doing well on it.
Don't attempt too much. Hatch no
more chicks than you have range, time
and money to keep healthy and strong.
During the warm weather spinach
should never be washed before shipping;
it goes to market in much better order
dry.
Test every COW, and do not be content
with YOUR herd until it averages 800
pounds of butter, or $50 pounds of cheese
yearly per COW.
Select bull that is from family bet
ter in your line Of dairying than your
herd This is guaranty of improve
ment in the offspring.
An extra pit of ensilage provided
against the day of summer want, when
droughts and fierce heats wither and
burn, will be good soiling crop.
Wherever the soil is. in proper condi-
ton to work and crumbles before the
plOW, or when stlrred Dy the 1ofk OF
spade, large share of the hardy seeds
may be sown.
It is the opinion Of prominent ento-
mologist that arsenical poisons cannot in
any instance be as advantageously ap-
piled for the destruction of insects in dry
mixture as in water.
It is claimed that wheat bran as food
for COWS does NC provide the essentials
for butter making; that, wniic the yield
of milk is large, the cream from it rises
slowly and churns with difficulty.
The best temperature in which to ripen
cream is about sixty degrees. 1t should
be kept cool, not below forty degrees,
and the temperature be slowly raised to the
desired point for ripening and churning.

AMERICAN BANKERS ASSO-
CITATION.

A dispatch dated Kansas City, Sept.
18th says:
1.-THE annual convention Of the
American Bankers Association met
here to-day. The city is gaily deco
rated The convention is the largest
ever held by the bankers, fully 1,OOC
being present from all parts Of the
country. After the preliminary
speeches of welcome and response by
the officials, the President delivered
the opening address. He traced he
development Of banking in America
from colonial times to the present.
President st. John, of the Mercar-
tile National Bank, addressed the con =
vention on the legal tender and coin
age. The speaker had one PROPOSE
ton to make on the subject. 1t VII
that an Act be adopted by Congrefs
which should do away as rapidly ;ls
convenient with the U. s. legal ten
der notes and the opening Of the .
W G4o lIoo COludAo VI BIZ
YER"
If MIR. st. John had proposed to do
away as rapidly as possible with Ma
tional Bank notes and substitute
therefor U. S. legal tender notes we
would be in favor Of his proposition.
The latter portion Of his suggestion
we heartily endorse; but we are OPP
posed to the National Banking sys-
tenn and have been ever since it was
instituted. We believe that the Gov
eminent should furnish an adequate
supply Of circulating medium in the
shape Of currency, instead Of granting
the privilege to corporations whose
only object is to make millions in the
transaction. Retire the National
Bank notes, supply their place with
u. s. legal tenders and open the
minis to the free coinage Of silver
and the financial prosperity of the
country is assured.

Silver Surplus Decreasing.

A statement issued from the Treas
ury Department shows the number
Of silver dollars in the Treasury
against which certificates can be
issued is now reduced to 100000.
At this date in 1886 the number was
SaOO0OO0. The coinage of 100000 a
month meantime has, also, been COW
cred by the issue of certificates of
silver. The certificates in circulation
in the past three years have increased
SlS0,OO0,OO0, while the National Bank
circulation is now decreasing at the
rate of $40,0OO,000 year. Silver GER
tificates now in circulation 1915, OOO,-
900; silver dollars in circulation, &c.
100000; silver dollars in the Treasury
against which certificates oan issue,
100000.
This shows that there has been a
decrease of sSO,OOO,OOO in the amount
of silver in the Treasury in three
years, notwithstanding that the mini
mum amount OF s2,OOO,OOO per month,
or S4 100000 per year, has constantly
been coined. Who says that the
silver dollar is not popular with the
people?

advantages to contend with this fall in getting all
the men out TO practise lie has worked honestly
and as a whole the team plays fairly well, but some
glarng faults are noticeable. The men are all caps-
bic enough but do not throw enough spirit into the
game, and sometimes play as though they did not
know exactly what 10 do The blocking Is
poor and the breaking through" is slow, while the
ackling is not nearly hard enough The latter de
6cjepcy however is likely 10 be overcome in big
game where the excitement Is great and the fault u
doubtless due 10 the fact that the have not played
against any very strong team yet. The men help one

slowness is the principal fault and the lack OF snaI

able The team on the whole is not strong enough
and Is apt play in streaks instead Of working hard
