tion at the last meeting of the Board
in failing to report to the Board the mum
ber of nonresident scholars in the High

decided to call Principal Elston before
the Board and have him rehuked by

New York Farmers are Weary OF Playing
the Role Of Pack-Horses to Trusts.

New York Farmers are Weary of Playing
the Role of Pack-Horses to Trusts
1t has been evident for long time to
those who have had opportunities for
observation, and who have used their
opportunities intelligently, that the
New York farmers were getting tired
of playing the role of pack-horses to the
trusts and monopolies-
An address has recently been issued
by the executive committee of the
Changers to the farmers in the neigh
borhood of Syracuse which tells some
very interesting truths in a very plain
way-and that, too. right under the
shadow of such great men as Senator
Hiscock and Congressman Belden- 1t
is signed by three influential farmers
Fl. X Edwards, c. E. Hall and Edward
McKeys. One thing the address shows
very clearly, and that is, that the farm
ers are beginning to see that party 10y
atty is played out" When loyalty to
party means disloyalty to ones dearest
interests. it is time for man to stop
and think which thing he proposes to
cure. These men say:
I'VE do not antagonize any business
or profession; we only ask that we have
an equal right to protect ourselves by
and to Congress, so that when the voice
of the money lender, the trust sup
porter and the syndicate men shall be
heard in our legislative halls the labor
er. the worker and the tax-paying
the voting roll is called, and our agri-
cultural interests are reached, the an
swering voice is but an echo or is silent
as the grave. We ask that the farmers
have the privilege of exchanging the
cereals he raises for articles he must
buy in all the markets of the world
where fair treaties of reciprocity can be
made for the articles exchanged Our
home market is good. and will always
be ours for the products of our farms,
whether high or low tariff shall pre-
vail, but if we have no other
market and grow enough to feed
twice the number of our
people, as we could hardly
prevent being done. and have no outlet
for our large surplus, we should then
begin to understand what real poverty
was. We believe there is no better way
to raise what money is necessary to car
~ on our Government than by tariff
tax on imports. What we farmers do
object to is Congress creating a neces-
sity for largo amounts of money by in
creasing tho salaries of Office holders
and creating places for others not need
ed, and otherwise expanding at least
one hundred million dollars annually
in wasteful appropriations to get rid Of
our surplus; or, in other words,
they are trying to bring our expenses up
to our large tariff income, when their
efforts should be to bring our expenses
down to an actual need"
All of which is respectfully referred
to the Home Market Club. of Boston.

Straw Sandwich.

The wasteful practice in the West OF
burning straw to get rid of it should
cease, and this product be utilized for
all it is worth. AS its feeding value is
about three-quarters of that of hay, it
would be almost as reasonable to burn
the latter. A few years ago rather
green corn fodder was packed in alter
nate layers with straw. The fodder
kept we'll and impaired portion of its
aroma to the straw, and stock ate the
latter with as much avidity as the
former. Similar recent experiments in
California in preserving green alfalfa
Qucern) were abundantlY successful,
and cattle relished both equally we'll.
AS haying occurs before harvesting
and threshing, it is suggested that those
who have been in the habit of burning
their straw stack it nicely this season,
and next year USE it in preserving green
hay of any kind. Green clover thus put
up would be preserved in its entirety,
instead of losing much of its nutriment
by being cured in burning sun, for I'M
less great care is observed it is per-
mitted to become SO dry that the best
part 1.-THE leaves) shells off and is
wasted. This dry silage system would
utilize every particle of nutriment in
both straw and clover.-Terra, in n. Y.

EARLY LAM BIS.
The Profit in Getting Them Re ady for tn
Early Markets.

The Profit in Getting Them Re ady for the
Early Markets.
In rearing early lambs, several meth
DDS are followed by different men. One
is to buy the ewes as early as possible
in the summer, wherever they can be
found. AS soon as they are housed in
the fall they are sheared and kept in
doors all the time. for they will feed
better after the wool is removed. They
are fed heavily right along and sold fat,
a short time after the lambs are gone
when mutton is usually high. In this
way profit is made on the ewes as we'll
as on the lambs and wool. But it is
often difficult to get suitable sheep
early enough. Most sheep bought in
this way are fine woods and, although
they are more hardy and may be kept
in larger hocks, they are not as good for
milk as the mutton breeds. Another
way is to select the ewes more careful
ly at the start, rejecting the poorer ones
each year and replacing them with
lambs of your own breeding. This is
more expensive, but one will soon have
just such a flock as he wishes. Each
method has its advantages. Ewes from
the mutton breeds are better for milk
and are more prolific breeders than fine
woods. But whatever kind of ewes are
used, the lambs should be the best to be
had from one of the mutton breeds,
preferably one of the downs.
I do not know of the Oxfordshire
downs being used for this, but they are
claimed to be fine sheep for native NUT
ton. The reasons for using rams from
one of these breeds are, they impress
upon their lambs tendency to iatten
more readily; they give better size and
the faces are dark. That lambs should
have dark faces may be only fancy.
but they bring better prices than white
faced ones. Finely-bred ewes of these
breeds are not plenty enough nor cheap
enough to use to any great extent for
this purpose. Hampshire-down lam BIS
are favorites with many for this bust
ness. One of the most difficult things
in raising these early lambs is to get
the ewes to take the ram early enough
in the summer. To ohviate this diff

Uses to sustain it's reputation here.
They are good mothers, giving plenty
of milk, and usually bear twins. The
lambs are strong and of good size, tak-
ing on flesh we'll when young. But the
great point in their favor is that they
will breed at any season of the year

break alone, with the object of return

Petersgrat. and, instead of taking the
route of the Tsehingel Pass, he chose

Precautions That Should BE Taken 1oA

It is astonishing. writes A. B. Allen
in American Agriculturist. how often
we hear of valuable horses perishing in
burning barns The losses by such
calamities amount annually to hundreds
of thousands of dollars. In addition to
this the frightful sufferings and agonies
of the poor creatures are indescribable.

holds the hay or any combustiblo mat

sheets of iron and an iron door from the

light except a safety lamp should be
used in the stable, and it would be best
to hang it up on entering at a suitable

IF that dog insists upon having fun
with the COWS on their way to or from

him.
LET the LATEST man or boy and the

from the pasture, and never complain
about his slowness if he keeps the COWS

IT is to be hoped the dairy show at the

made a National dairy school, where
goods and the consumer learn to know
what fine butter and cheese really is.
OF the millions of cows that are kept

no shoes on his feet and battered old
straw hat on his head, sat on q nail keg
on the back porch of Pap Raper's store
at Middleto1'S Station. 1t was the aft
ernoon of hot July day; and as the
back porch of the store was used as a
landing platform for passengers and
freight by the railroad company, and as
it was also located at the north end of
the store, it was favorite resort for the
countryside loafers, who, when they
could get a half a day off. from their
farm work during the ''crapping sea-
son." delighted to congregate there to
whittle, to chat over neighbOrhood af-
fairs and to watch for the passenger
train from the east, which came in at
six o'clock. But on this particular &C.
casion Champ was alone; for wonder,
there were no other idlers about. Pap
Raper himself was inside the store ex-
changing dry-goods and groceries for a
lot of butter and eggs, which small
boy and girl had brought in from a
neighboring farm.
Champ sat on the nail key and whit
tied industriously. While doing this
he was also meditating, and that very
deeply. Occasionally he would pause

On the other side of the track. and
opposite to the store, stood the black
smiths shop; through the open door of
this and from where he sat, Champ
could see the blazing fire on the black

sparks as they flew like stars from his
hammer and the iron he was welding,
and although he did not realize it, per-
haps, could hear the musical clatter of
moving machine that was running in
meadow not dozen rods from the
store. A quail flew up on the fence
down the track and began to whistle
