Showing His sympathy.

A 14-year-old boy went into his mothers
presence with one eye black, his lips swollen
and a ragged scratch across his cheek, the
blood from which he had wiped off on his
shirt sleeve. "Nicodemus,n cried the parent
as he sneaked in, have you been fighting
again?"
Nope" he sullenly grunted.
Then what on earth ails your facegn
'Jim Green's mas dead" he replied
"Well, suppose she is, what's that got to do
with your bunged up faces"

Suggestions as how to keep ice arc
now in order. The Ladies Home Com
panjon makes the following: There arc
three or four things that will help to
keep the precious nugget Of ice from
melting away if the housekeeper will
only remem Der them. One is, .hat to
keep ice warm is the way to keep it
cold. A piece of ice in pitcher, with
the pail over the pitcher and rug over
the pail, will keep all night. A piece
of ice in refrigerator, covered with a
snug, white blanket will cheat the gree
dy ice man every day, and snap fancy
GGgers at the milk that does not dare to
get sour, or the beefsteak that dares not
fail. These things are admirable in
their way and should be in every hat
band. But the greatest trick of all is
newspapers. With plenty of newspa-
pers above, below and on every side,
the way piece Of ice will keep is joke.

The Trouble with Farmers.

other woes, to one great prevailing
cause; improvidence 1t is this improv-
idence that compels them to ask extend
ed credit of retailers. 1t is simply an
other name for poor management. In a
given township there may be forty land
cd proprietors OF these, twenty may
be prosperous and twenty others notori-
ously delinquent in everything. Twenty
of these farmers pay their bills regular
y and promptly, have good credit. good
crops, comfortable homes and barns,
and always manage to keep cash bal
ancc n their village or county bank
The other twenty, whose farms are com
posed of the same soil and capable of
producing equally good harvests, have
poor crops, are always in debt, and
there Is run down" appearance about
them and their premises generally -
Why is it?
The successful farmer can trace his
prosperity to intelligent management;
the unsucce 'sful farmer can trace his
poor crops, Indebtedness and loss of
prestige -!e. ssi6lessaass~ er lack se,tssaa-

The Best.

There is always demand for the best
in all lines Of production There is no
exception in the case of products of the
farm II costs no more to feed we'll
bred sheep, hogs or cattle than ill-bred
ones, but the former will sell at good
prices, while TIE latter are left an eS-
pense on the owners hands, or are sacri-
feed at loss to be cos rid Of There
are certain butter makers in every mar
ket whose products are eagerly sought
for, and sold above the market price be-
fore they are offered because they are
known to make the best an | offer for
sale nothing that is not lirst-cass Now
a-days, everything is classified according
10 value. If there is a surplus on the
market, the best is taken, the poorest
left; if the market is scarce, the best
commands any reasonable price, the in
ferior goods sell for much less. Why.
then, do not our farmers aim to produce
everything of the best quality? Many
of them are actuated by the spirit to
make the most of their opportunities,
but tSsfa ssoy others who seem to
think that what was good enough for
their fathers must be good enough for
them. So it would be if their neighbors
were not improving, and thus raising
the general standard Of excellence.
What was considered good enough
Fifty years ago will not stand the test
now. As long as the highest prices are
paid for the best, the more enterprising
farmers will spare neither pains nor cx-
pense to produce the best; and if their
neighbors do not exert themselves to
keep up, they soon will 6hd themselves
lsmentably in the back ground Our
farmers must keep abreast of the times,
They must think; they must read; they
must study; they must experiment; they
must exert their minds to the fullest *

The Tide will Turn in our Direction

From the Sunday edition Of the Bal
timore Amcrjcan we gather the nfor-
nation that colony Of over four hun
dred Danes have concluded to settle in
this State If their agent, who is now in
Baltimore. can make satisfactory ar
engagements for the purchase Of lands -
Of the 462 persons representing this
colony, some go Of them are males, 100
Of them farmers. by occupation, and
about 60 or 20 are carpenters, brick
layers, &c the remainder women and
children. It was the original intention
If these people to settle in Arkansas,
but owing TO information gathered by
their agent that it was highly probable
that the inducements offered by the pri-
vate corporation, formed in that State
ostensibly TO encourage immigration,
would not be carried out, the intention
20 settle there was abandoned, and their
agent selected this State as much more
suitable ia climatic, and other natural
advantages, than any other for his peo-
pie. Maryland. and, especially this
portion Of it, affords a good field for
such cclonists as those now spoken Of,
being capable Of supporting many times
IDS present population. and only need
ing the right sort Of men on its untitled
farms, and all the capital it can gel, to
make it rank with any section OF our
country. That these Danes are the
kind Of people we need here no one will
deny, for they are proverbial for their
honesty, frugality and industry. and any
Stale or community will be greatly ben
Gifted by having such a class of busy
workers in their midst. What Southern
MARYLAND needs, as We have so often
said, is more people, thrifty energetic
workers, and these we can secure from
our own and other countries il our citi-
Gems will organize for the purpose. Let
US get together on this question, Repub-
licans. Democrats and Alliance men

Not Falling of.


When the Mckinley Tariff bill was
under consideration in Congress last
summer, the Democrats stated in every
possible form Of language that if tie
measure became a law it would offend
nearly all toreigr nations, and they
would refuse to patronize US; that our
exports Of graia, meat. etc, would
cease. 4 practical demonstration Of the
operation Of tile new tariff law gives the
lie to this statement, as usul. The
special bulletin Just issued from the sta
tistical branch Of the Treasury Depart
ment, showing the exports Of breadstutfs
for last month (ApriD, discloses the
fact that, although our cereal crops last
year we're short, and it was naturally
expected that our exports would fall be-
low those Of the crop grown in 1889,
they have been far above. The total
exports Of wheat frcm the principal
ports Of this country during last month
amounted in dollars to 81, s34 207, and
bushels 5000. 39S, against 81, 500, 1852
in April, 1890, and 4 ,53S, 1870 bushels
the same month. The wheat -four in
April, 1891, aggregated S6,197, los,
against S5,278,25O in April, 1890
The increase Of exports in nearly every
other farm article the past month was
proportioaately great over April of last
year. 1t thus appears. as the Republi-
cans have declared, tina! the people of
foreign countries will buy where they
can do the best, in spite of tariff laws.

Our Coal Fields.


A bulletin Just issued by the Census
Bureau, showing the resources west Of
the Mississippi in the matter Of coal,
gives facts which must be a surprise to
those who have never given special at
tention to the subject While in 1890
the product of these States and Terrific
ries was 1888 1924 tons. in 1889 the
product was l6,067, 500 tons This is
an increase of 11,483, l76 tons in the
section of the United States west Of the
Mississippi, and does not include the
older coal fields in Pennsylvania and
Ohio. The value Of the yield for
1880 was Ss, S29,722 while 10 1889 it
was S24 Alb .262, which is an increase
of Sl5 5S3, $40 in nine years, notwith-
standing the fac that the value of coal
decreased from 81 93 per ton at the
mines in 1880 to 81 80 in 1889. Still
another indication of the progress which
is being made by the country in the de-
velopment of its mineral resources, as
revealed by this bulletin is found in the
fact that the four States and Territories
of North Dakota, Texas, New Mexico
and Indian Territory, which are now
among those reckoncd as coal producing,
were not so known in 1880 1t is by no
means improbable that in still other
States and Territories large beds of coal,
as yet undiscovered, will be brought to
light. Our country is still in its early
childhood in the matter If the develop

The Presidents Trip.

Inc return Of President Harrison and

South and West marks tho end Of one Of
the greatest journeys ever taken by the
ruler Of great nation. From start to
huish 1t was one long welcome, SO enthu-

nation, with every State proud Of it,
membership and every citizen proud Of
the gov rnment under which he lives
1t has >cen a Journey marked not only
IN every city, but in every little town
and embarrassing with a genuine patri-
1tic enthusiasm, and even if the citizen
could do no more than throw up his hat
and shout his greeting as the train roll
ed by, be did that little with a will, no
matter how he voted at the last prcsi-
dental election nor how he expects to
vote at the next.
Such n journey to a ruler would be
impossible in any other land. Without
4 guard, without any protection except
that Of perfect confidence in the people,
President Harrison has travelled from
one end Of the land to the other in as
perfect safety from attack, or even from
insult, as if he were sitting in his own
room in the White House or werea private
citizen sitting in his law Office in India
napols. Yet, when even the most pop
ular and best beloved of the soyereigus
Of Europe makes a journey, no matter
how short it may be, train Of guards

under circumstances which would have

full of eloquencc each one well suited to

Of man who has made the nation his
