Unless Senator Fsrweii. of Illinois. is
being incorrectly reported and outrageously
maligned, he occupies very anomalous
position Is Republican Senator. 1t has
been freely circulated that he has been in
censed by certain appointments that have
been made in defiance of his wishes, but
that should not prompt him TO forget TO
which side he belongs on party division.
or where his vote and influence should be
found when assuming TO act for Illinois
republicsnism- Certainly he should give
an effectual quietus to the declaration of .
leading Chicago Republican. who Is quoted
a. saying: "Farwell is out with President
Harrison and will oppose any measure of
prominence that he thinks the latter
favors- As Mckinley Is the tool of Harri-
son. Farwsll 10 not likely to vote for the
formers tariff BILL"
1t Is not credible that Senator Farwell
contemplates going to any such lengths.
1t is not credible that he will permit per-
sonal animosity against the President, If he
entertains such feeling, to drive him into
antagonizing and injuring his party. or
into opposition to one Of its cardinal prin-
ciples. 1t is predicted that the Chicago
Senator will. when the appropriate time
arrives. effectually refute these sspersions,
and that he win be found among the
staunch supporters. not only of the Nc
Kinley tariff bill. but of every other meas
ure that clearly involves definite Repub-
lican principle.

Increase OF Money Circulation.
81. Louis Globe. Democrat.

An Omaha paper has discovered that during
the last eight years the United States has in
creased prodigiously in population and busi-
ness, but during that period the amount OF
money in circulation has shrunk several hun
dred millions of dollars" If the Omaha paper
win take the trouble to glance over the report
OF the secretary Of the treasury made last De
cember at the opening Of congress, It win md
that the circulation has largely increased In
stead of decreased in the past few yearA IL has
increased, indeed. % much faster than popula-
ton that while the per capita circulation
amounted to about $3.50 in 1878, It reached
32i-75 on the lst of last October. two months be-
fore the report was made. The monthly treas
ury statements show that circulation 10 greater

Alfalfa for Poultry.

No greater problem presents itself to
the average poultry breeder, says the
New Mexico Stock Grower, than what
and how to feed with view to occurring
the best results from his fowls Volumes
have been written on the subject, ali Of
more or less merit, though it must be
admitted that ''less'' is good wav in
the minority. In the alfalfa gro wing
regions the question is one of easy settle
meut, however, no system of feeding
will produce better results than IN UNI
limited supply of alfalfa. 1t Is the
nearest approach to u perfect food that
VIZ haze, aud with y little dry grain
(wheat or harley, morning and night,

obtained where the fowls are allowed to

there is danger of it causing what some

is also valuable as feed for ducks. If
the ducks cun run on the patch they will

We have lately seen something in Fort

After the Vulfures.

We have already had something to say
in these columns about certain schoo
OF agricultural writer's who see only the
bad side of everything. They appear tC
think that unless they can write up the
shortcomings of somebody, or specially
MONT ont the defects of some locality
they have mott Ug worth writing about

everything lively without deigning SO
much rs passing notice, and devote
the whole of th-i' energies to q search

Now, il these members of the Cathar-
tida funily in agricultural literature
would take all sides along with them as
they go, no reasonable man could find
ought to SAY against their performance.
We are entirely willing for the whole
truth TO be told, but this way they have
of seeing and ventilntihg only the bad
side. leaving the impression that no
other side exists, cannot do otherwise
than make one tired. And even did they
do only this il wouldn't be near s. bad
as it il, but unfortunately they do not
always hold up on the sure enough dead
cnrrasses they are allie to spy out with

The Poultry Business.

There is money in it, saws the Indiana
Farmer, but entirely correct manage
ment Is necessary TO get the money out.
No, few people who jump into the poul-
try business meet with failure, and there
are q good many rensons for the way it
turns out with them. The chiefest
among these reasons. however. may be
traced TO q uon-husiuess princiD!e. Peo-
pie do not go about 1t In the right way.
For Instance they depend upon special
branchrs. They ask too much. II a
man wants to make good living he
