A Farmer Talks.

EDITOR INDEX: Juding by the can
inc snarls of the Cresset at republican
farmers and taxpayers who boldly re-
fuse to stand any longer the CALLING
Slaps of insult, in the way of broken
pledges, forgotten promises and an al
most criminal neglect of such legisla-
ton, as has been promised in front of
every blackboard in the state, that
which would tend to the promotion of
the farmers interests, and by its insult
and uncalled for abuse of men that can
no longer be swayed by those hollow,
thread bare punches of campaign taffy-
"VOte as you shetland "Stand Shout
der to shoulder, as you did at Gettys
burg" by insulting men, whose natural
ideas, born of quarter century of eX
perience, is to turn to the Alliance
power that can and will help them-if
it abuses such men, how low must it's
estimation be of man who would stag
nate his soul in supporting men whom
he cannot help but knows are working
such blighting influence? How low
must he regard man that has to pay
500 to get suck at one of the hind
most political teats, after working so
long to nourish the udder? That the
Cresset may be consistent. how low
must it regard man who will proclaim
with demoniac yells the merits of ju-
dicial candidate who fairly fails to get
the republican nomination, and then
goes back on the party that once made
him judge, and goes before the ALI
ance convention and asks endorsement,
only to be fatty refused? Possibly the
Cresset may be able to explain.

Sugar Mill Notes.

The mill closed down cutting cane
Saturday. and would have commenced
Monday, but water in the lake was SO
low it would not run into the mill.
The water was turned into the lake,
and soon it reached its normal stage.
While the mill was not cutting cane, it
was not idle, but was busy running
syrup through for second sugar.
At this time the mill is not cutting
cane, as there is no cane ripe enough to
cut. Since the rain, much of the late
cane, that was not headed out, has be-
gun second growth, and has grown
from one to three feet higher than the
cane that was headed. These shoots
are still perfectly green, and while
some little of the cane would do to cut,
1t is probable that the whole crop will
be delayed some.
Col. Field thinks part of his field of
cane will run as high as ten or twelve
tons per acre, and his whole crop will
average about six tons per acre.
Two car loads of sugar were shipped
to New Orleans last Wednesday. On
the same day one car of syrup was
sent to st. Joseph, and one to Chicago.
There is one and half car loads of
sugar now on hand at the sugar works,
and half car load of sugar in the syr-
up, which is being run through the
centrifugals.
1t is supposed that the mill will be-
gin cutting cane next Monday, and
there is enough syrup on hand to keep
the mill busy till that time.
The mill is now putting up sugar in
bags. 1t is cheaper to ship, easier to
handle, and the bags are returned at
less expense.
Fifteen thousand pounds of sugar is
the largest days work that has yet been
done al the mill.
They have gotten so near all the
sugar out of the chips that they won't
draw flies. A series of tests show that
only AZ hundreds of one per cent. of
sugar remains in the bagasse.

From Farmer Jim.

EDITOR INDEX: Farmer Jim, of
Roundup, says he bought cultiyator
and lister from the Alliance agency,
and saved enough to buy suit of
clothes, and four or five dollars left. He
advises the farmer who writes for the
Cresset, to brighten up his wits, and to
stick to the truth. FARMER JIM.
Another farmer tells us that he knows
that Mr.. Lowry did not buy from the
Alliance exchange. He bought from an
Alliance agent, who did not have the
lister, 1.-THE Canton) but Mr.. Lowry in
sisted on having a Canton" The
agent sent to Harper. for him, and
bought it from a retail dealer there.
and of course had to pay the regular re-
tail price. And this was done before
the recent decline in agricultural imple-
ments.

Closing the Normal,

Closing the Normal,
The following poem was written by
Mr.. L. A. Walton, and read at the close
Of the Normal. few weeks ago:
Kind friends and fellow students,
The Normal now is Ger;
We soon shall show the harvest
That we have placed in store;
The treasures we have garnered here,
Through tasty heeting days,
Will show out in the future
In most Respondent rays.
Examination is to come
Tomorrow and next day;
That each one may a license get
We most devoutly pray;
But cast these worrying thoughts aside
Give room for sport and cheer,
Let each one strive to make this night
The happiest OF the year.
Tomorrow we shall need our wits
To work with all their might,
So advise you, one and ali.
To let them rest Tonight.
Tomorrow, when you get to work,
Just call them to your aid,
And you'll be glad within your heart,
They rested while you played.
Let smile for smile be passed around.
Let each one count good cheer;
This is the last time We shall meet,
At least for one more year;
But as this year Is passing by.
Our minds will oft revert,
To the way our teachers caused us all
Our powers to exert.
The work we've done at Norma here,
We can ali point to With pride;
With that of any other school
Wen place it'sidde by side
The interest shown by pupils here,
No others can excel,
And the work of our instructors,
But few could do 30 well.
The Cook room, lit was quickly found
Had there q first-class cook,
Who fed us all on mental food,
He'd cleaned from many book.
Twas a mental feast to anyone,
BE he 40 graea as ggass,
To spend three quarters OF an hour
In Cooks "a" grammar class,
Now Woodrow too. deserves great praise, =
His work has been well done;
And by his efforts he has gained
The praise Of every one,
His ceaseless werk aud winning ways
True friends to him endears.
Wesay for him, he'll make his mark
High up In future years.
Professor Beeson 60 well known
He needs no praises here;
The pupils of this Institute
VIII always hold him dear.
No time was eyer better spent,
Than in his '.Methods' class.
His Methods" We will ne'er forget,
Though years may come and pass.
Instructors of this Institute,
Can't very well be beaten;
We've learned as much a. We would learn
At Oxford, Yale or Eaton;
And Ills the wish, as have heard.
Of every student here,
me same instructors we have now
VIII come again next year.
The Conductor Of this Normal
Is praised by one and ali,
And We regret it very much
His change OF place this fall.
Although he's small OF stature,
And don't look very great,
For County Superintendent,
He's best In our great state.
Our bonds of friendship have been strong,
We now these bonds must sever,
Although We earnestly DO wish
We could always be together.
But let us now go forth to work,
With faculties al Frightened.
And come 70 the next Institute
With the cord Of friendship tightened.

Alliance men were trying to close the

it would be closed, and Mr.. Caruthers

settled. If Mr.. Axline or anybody els,
has any information of .'true inward

we hereby invite them TO make it pub

nothing else. We believed an InsuI,

we attempted to correct it. When it !.
repeated the second and third time, W,

Habits of the salamander.

Considerable ignorance exists, even
among persons Of education, as to the
habits of the salamander. The mere
mention of this harmless little betrach-
ian recalls to the minds OF most people
mystic ideas with respect to fire-eating
and fire-inhabiting creatures, which
have probably caused many Of the poor
little brutes to be burnt by experiments
al philosophers who should have been
far above belief in such absurdities.
The spotted salamander is the color Of
lamp-black, with numerous large yellow
spots and stripes, and is very common
all over Southern Europe, as we'll as in
Northern Africa. 1t haunts all manner
of dark and cool places, such as cavities
nnder logs of wood, and holes in old
walls, where they can find supply Of
insects, worms or slugs. All the sala-
mander's movements are performed
with such absurd solemnity that the
most hardened reptile-hater could not
be uninterested. Sometimes the opera
ton of swallowing worm will last
twenty minutes.
