II. S. M in the Springfield Herald
tells tale that points a moral while
illustrating fact and disabus-
ing many prejudic d minds. In the
opening Of the season just as the
panic struck GAINESVILLE, the writer
advised the farmers not to sell their
tobacco for 81 per hundred loose be-
cause of the depression of the trade
here, and was taken to task for some
remarks in his article, now he says
in another article:
You know now wether we gave
you the truth or not, in our article
ITO Farmers" a few weeks since.
Tobacco has gone back to its original
prices, while every man that sold di-
rectly after the failures at Clarks,
vile lost 81 per every hundred
pounds. Suppose the farmers had
sold one hundred thousand pounds
at that crisis they would have lost
$4,000. Our sincerity for your in
forest was questioned, but | am per.
fectly willing to accept your verdict
in the matter now. Farmers, you
have been advised to raise better
grades of tobacco and less quantity
That is good common sense; it is to
your interest, and also to the buyers.
/ will say further that the farmer
at last will have to bear all thost
failures, and you see what an oppor-
tunity they afford the buyers to
make 81 per hundred upon tobacco,
Many farmers had been pur.
'suaded that GAINESVILLE houses were
making great fortunes, swindling
them out OF their tobacco, but the
crash relieved the facts as we have
before said, the warehousemen OF
GAINESVILLE have all along held up
the market and the farmers got the
money, which they lost and as soon
rs the warehouses were crushed,
prices lumbled downWards. Now as
soon as the warehouses arere.instated
prices go up.

Holding It's own.

The river is holding its own well.
1t began falling Tuesday and since
that time it has only shown a fall of
some eight or ten inches. There is
relief felt, however, in the change
the weather has taken. Last
night it was feared that another
heavy rain would fall and start it to
rising again, but the cold wave has
put that fear in the shade and there
is better feeling on all sides. The
fall will be slow from the fact that
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers are
high, preventing the water from the
Cumberland from running out fast.

The Public Cisterns.

The superintendent of the water
company, and the fire committee,
anticipating "A shut down in the
pumping station, some days ago had
all the public cisterns filled with
water. These would be compara-
lively useless, however, in case of
fire, as the suction pipes in the fire
engine are worn out and would not
raise the water from the cisterns and
put it on fire. Some time ago it
was tried at pumping the water out
of the sewer excavations on College
street and would not work. This is
n matter that should have had attcn.
ton long ago.

fire committee, however, has>order-

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

EXPERIMENTS made in spraying one
side of the peach trees with insecticides
and leaving the other side untouched
confirm the claim that the depredations
of the curculio and other insects can
be prevented, as the comparison of the
trees show great advantages resulting
from spraying.
EVERY now and then some writer in
the stock journals suggests proper
ration for an animal based on its size
or weight, in spite of the fact that this
is about the least reliable guide one
can have. Almost every one knows that
men do not eat in proportion to their
size and weight, and neither do cows.
If any great success is to be made in
farming the man must follow that par
ticular line of farming which he likes
so well that he can put his whole soul
into it, giving it that thorough investi-
CATION which will enable him to fully
understand it in all its details, and
grow it in the cheapest and best man
ner.

buying select a mill that reduces it all
