A Prominent Man Shows How Elderly
People Can ProIopg Their Lives and
Avoid Weakness and Suffering.
Charles Dickens never wrote a truer thing
than the following:
Can anything be more pltiable than the sight
of elderly men and women who realize that the
strength of earlier years is departing7 Down
the plane of life, whose end is in darkness, they
look, and wonder If their weary steps will carry
them painlessly to the end"
Any elderly person who feels a trembling OF
the nerves. weakening of the muscles, les
sened vitality, decreased vigor. chilled hands
or feet, needs, nay, must have, assistance.
Money cannot render it. Drugs should be
avoided. Here is what one of the greatest OF
modern physicians, no less parsonage than
DR.. Gardner. says on the subject:
Elderly persons. who in winter suffer from
cold feet and find artificial heat applied exter-
nally fail TO afford relief, may, with undoubted
propriety and advantage, take whisky and hot
water on going to bed. If q headache or foul
tongue follow. the inference is the spirit was i'm
pure, probably containing tusei oil. very
ligh. trace of this noxious ingredient in spirit
will, in some constitutions. produce headache,
as accurate a test OF impurity as chemistry can
employ"
There is only one absolutely pure Risky free
Justly popular Dufiy's Pure Malt Whisky. 1t has
all the properties that contribute TO health and
vigor, and none that injure. 1t cannot harm
the stomach even of q child. It is sold uni
versally and well merits its wonderful pOpu-
larity. Be sure and take no other.

CLOVER FOR HOGS.

A Vernon Ia.) correspondent of the
R,tral Nelp Yorker writes: Il cannot quite
agree with DR.. Henry Stewart when he
says that clover is indispensable as an
early spring feed for pigs. If one can
change his pasture from one field to an
other every few years, then clover is best :;
but if one, like myself, must have per-
manent pasture, then blue grass is the
best. Ny hog pasture is mostly blue grass
with some white clover and timothy. Pigs
are fond of all these if they are fed short.
My pigs this year were narrowed in April
and sold about Christmas time. The
average weight was 81 pounds each. This
viii show how well pigs will thrive on
such a pasture. Of course, no one will
suppose that such heavy weights are OBJ
tanned on grass alone. A little corn all the
time and some milk greatly assist the pigs
to make double-quick time. During the
months when they are grazing and racing
up and down a large pasture, half-feed of
corn does not make them sick; neither does
it make them unhealthy. | cannot vouch
for the best treatment for pigs in the south
ern climate for which Dr. Stewart wrote :;
but why will not colored Virginia pigs
thrive on part ear-corn as well as
colored Virginia boys do on hoe
cakes2 And why cannot Virginia
produce good corn cheaply ? 1
should try hard to find some concentrated
cheap feed to use in part for pigs in clover.
/ am pleased to learn that Henry Stewart
agrees with me as regards the use Of sweet
corn"

sAP o. DORMANT TREEs.

The papers all over the State are copy
ing an article on Pruning" in which it is
soberly stated that the sap OF the trees
has been forced 'down into the roots" 1t
is certainly time that this mistaken idea
should be rectifed. For many years the
horticultural journals of the country have
shown the fallacy of the supposition, but it
seems to be one Of those old notions which
it is impossible to dissipate If the sap of
trees was driven down into the roots, there
would have to be large tanks or reservoirs
to contain it. If you will cut the roots of
a tree when 1t is in dormant state, it
will be found that there is no more sap in
them than can be found at any other
season of the year, and in fact, often not
as much. When the tree becomes DOR
mant, the sap undergoes chemical
changes, which appears to the
superficial observer as if it had been
driven down in spirited way in some
mysterious fashion. 1t is certainly time
the California papers should learu at least
few of the rudimentary principles Of
plant life California Fruit Grouer.

FARM NOTES.

FARM Mules.
A head of cabbage placed in the poultry
yard viii be eagerly eaten by the hens at
this season.
A few apples added to the food and
cooked with it will render the whole more
acceptable to the stock.
Incubators ''that a child can run" are
too handy to have in the house. Such
easy machines are merely built to run and
not to hatch.
The question of fostering and encourage
ing the fast-walking horses, so as TO gradu-
ally produce a breed of that class, is
! being agitated.
Although the weather may not be cold,
cows should be supplied with water through
the whole season.
Soapsuds should be added to the man
ure heap. Never waste such. Later in
the season suds may be applied to aspara-
gus and celery with advantage.
The asparagus bed is the place to apply
plenty of manure now, which should be
forked in. After so doing give the bed a
liberal application of wood ashes.
The average duration of the cows serv-
ice as mixer is estimated at eight years
among the well-managed diaries, but indi-
vidual COWS often milk well until aged.
The lie Conte pear is an attractive mar
ket variety, is hardy, bears well and prob
ably is profitable with some, but its quail
ity is low compared with other varieties.
A Vermont fruit-grower suggests that as
wire netting is not costly it might pay to
cover with such wire cherry trees and other
fruit trees that have their fruit eaten by
birds.
The garden is neglected on the farm,
and many farmers do not cultivate plot
for a garden. The Injuries of farming can
only be obtained by those farmers who grow
vegetables and fruits as well as staple crops
of grain and grass.
In the catalogue of the American Pomo-
logical Society votes from the different
States were given as follows for various
popular apples Forty votes for red Astra-
chan, thirty-eight for early harvest and
thirty-three for maiden's blush.
One Of the best locations for garden is
to turn under clover and sod now ap-
ply thirty bushels of air-slacked lime per
acre Tor proportionately), and then cross
pillow the land in the spring. The ground
must be well narrowed and made fine be-
fore planting the seed, however.
George w. Kirker, who lives nine miles
southwest of Delano and two miles east of
Poso has COW that takes the bakery for
milk and butter, and shows just how profit
able the dairy business is in this section.
Mr.. Kirker has kept close account with
her cowship for year past, giving her
credit for all the milk, and keeping &C
count of all butter sold. The sales of the
year amount to Sis, which is proof
enough of the profits. The COW is full

system, which We first discovered was the
most beneficial kind of rest to the body
and mind. When We speak Of the rest to
our land different methods are suggested
10 different minds.
One man thinks that he rests his land
by sowing crop in May, harvesting it in
the fall, turning the sod under, and then
sowing winter wheat. That certainly is a
change, but it is difficult to see where the
rest comes in, or how the first crop can en-
rich the land for winter wheat. If some
crop had been sown and not harvested, but
turned under, the land would be better for
it. Or again, if the land has been plowed
in the spring and narrowed and cultivated
to keep down the weeds, and then pre-
pared for winter wheat, this crop would
have had a good chance to grow. The
land would have been enriched BY the ac-
ton of sun and moisture, which would give it
desired change Summer-fallowing, as this
process is called, should be practiced
oftener, and then better crops would be OBJ
tanned, and our soils would not continue to
deteriorate Give land rest occasionally,
but do not be misled by the idea that sim
ply a change of plants will bring about
the desired result Rest the land in win
ter, too Plow it in the fail, harrow it,
and let the air, rain and SHOWS work upon
the mellow soil This will rest it, and at
the same time enrich it.

The work 'rest" has great meaning in
this busy, pushing, restless age. 1t does
not mean inaction; but rather change
with the element of worry, anxiety and
strain eliminated. When applied to the
land it is not robbed entirely Of this new
meaning. The land needs rest it needs
time to recuperate, and get back the ele-
ments of strength which years of successive
cultivation have taken from it. But the
kind Of rest which the busy man most
needs is change of occupation; and 50 with
our soils. they need a change Of plant
growth. To grow one kind of crop on the
same soil year after year is such heavy
strain on it that it viii shortly become
barren and unproductiye. Our ideas Of
rotation of crops are based upon the rest

The Survival of the Best.

To the WoRKMEN's ADvoCATE:-In his
excellent address on "Capitalism," J..
Ransom Bridge speaks of "the brutal
law Of the survival of the tittest." In
this he voices the sentiment Of many
socialists in regard to that Darwinian
dogma.
To speak of the survival of the
fittest as brutal" is unscientitc and
is due to Misrepresentation of the mean
ing of the word &" fittest" by confound-
ing it with best"
BY 1.-The survival of the fttest" is
meant that that organism will survive
that is best adapted to its environment.
This law is no more "brutal" than
gravitation or any other law of nature,
inasmuch as they all act without regard
to human welfare.
Many of those who allow its applica-
ton to vegetable and lower animal life
object to its being applied to man on the
ground of his superior intelligence.
This Is inconsistent because the in
telligence of men and animals is the
result of the same law, the difference
being of degree and not of kind.
There can be no logical objection to
the application Of the survival of the
fittest to human affairs unless by tax,
inG theological ground and bringing in
the imaginary factor of " free will"
Our present social system is favorable
to the survival of the cunning and un.
scrupulous; thus evolution will force us
to change conditions until the survival
of the tittest will be the survival of the
best. PETER GIBBONS,
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1890-03-08
A SOCIALIST PRESIDENT.

What are we coming tor Here Is the
president of great railroad corporation
Mr.. Blackstone of the Chicago & Alton
advocating the ownership of the rail-
roads by the National Government, and
1.-THE organization of corps of railroad
operators who shall remain in service
during good behavior and be in no
greater degree under the influence of
politicians than the officers of the
army"
Not less remarkable than his conclu-
sion are the reasons which induced it,
The State Governments-he substan.
tally argues-have granted 50 many
railroad charters to speculators without
regard to the possible effects of compe-
tition between parallel lines, that seven
eighths of the companies are struggling
against bankruptcy. Aided by the
Federal Governments Interstate Com
mission, and through the agency of
their own Railroad Commissioners, the
States are now fixing reduced maximum
rates of transportation for the benefit
of capitalists and landowners whose
business and profits are not likewise in
terfered with by the legislative power,
While the railroads have increased the
price of lands to fifty and in many cases
to one hundred times their original
value; while they have similarly devel.
oped commerce and converted puny
dealers into wealthy merchants, the
very men who have thus been enriched
are the most clamorous against railroad
monopoly" This clamor, induced by
the mere selhshness OF the wealthy
few, has been taken up by the masses,
who seldom get any benefit from the
reduction of freight charges; and now
the politicians have no surer means of
commencing themselves to public favor
than by legislating against the capital
invested in railroads, while carefully re-
framing from legislation against any
other form of capital.
If, in the words of contemporary,
Mr.. Blackstone's discourse TO his stock
holders was calculated to excite I'M

who did not win outright at
the first election we're defeated at The
second ballot by the combined efforts Of
the capitalist parties, though their vote
was still further increased. In the ca
tholic cities on the Rhine, such AZ Dus-
seldorf and Cologne, the National Ii
berals came out in full force for their
bitter enemies, the Clericals, in order to
defeat the Socialists. 1t is becoming
more apparent at every election that as
against this solidarity of all the old par
ties, including those apparently most
antagonistic, the Socialists will be able
to carry such districts only rs they can
gain by majority vote at the main
election. In view Of this tendency the
gain OF fourteen seats out Of about forty
re-DailolinBs contested ny Ihe soclaiisIo,
which number may be increased to eigh-
teen or twenty by further returns, is a
very remarkable success il we consider
that in many of these districts the party
jumped to the second place from abso-
lutte insign,fcance and succeeded but by
a narrow figure to enter into the second
ballot.

mixed SURPRISE" the result justified the
calculation" No utterance from
man Of his class and position in that
class can be more suggestive. He may
have intended it merely as warning to
the capitalist tribe, that wealthy indiv-
idualsts cannot afford to use the power
of the State against wealthy corpora
TONS But, whatever his intent may
have been, he has certainly dealt
heavy blow to the competitive system
by showing the evils it works to the
capitalists themselves, and by demon
strating that its logical outcome is the
specialization OF the Instruments Of pro-
duction. With the authority of prac-
teal man he has, moreover, effectually
disposed of the usual objections to So
cialsm or Nationalism, by showing how
the Nation could own and run the rail.

Neutrality-suspicious. the interference of
the politicians; nay, how the people, by
owning and running their own indus,
tries, would actually transform cor
rupt, despotic, political government into
pure, free, industrial organization.
OF course we knew all that, and much
more, before Mr.. Blackstone undertook
to "excite an unmixed surprise" But
it is well to mark the signs of the times.

AstOr's Wages to Labor.

Ninety cents per day were the wages
paid by John Jacob Aston, the richest
mar in the United States, for the very
hard wor,: of polishing up the marble
walls Of the vault in Trinity Cemetery on
Washington Heights, which now con-
tains his remains. Inside and in front
Of my store, and few weeks before his
death, the Job was given out on the
competitive system to the lowest bidder.
Standing between starvation and suicide
a number of healthy, strong and willing
young men underbid each other. One
man offered his services for 81 per day,
another for Sl.75 The third one was
accepted, as he offered his labor at 80
cents day. John Jacob Astor donated
less than one per cent. Of his wealth to
education and charity, and bequeathed
over ninety nine per cent. to his son
with compound usury on top. To coun-
teract the i'll effects of system under
which such things are possible we ought
to put on the screws of progressive in
come tax; but the true remedy is to ma
tionalize industry. We shall thus not
only protect all those who are willing
or disabled to work, but we shall elevate
the Astors and the Plutocracy to the
rank Of selfrespecting and self.support-
ing laboeers.
