Lincoln,s Prophesy.

More evictions occur in Pennsyl-
vania than in all Ireland, and as much
of real oppression prevails in the coal
) and iron regions as any place in the
world. White slavery has taken the
place of black slavery-the revolver
and winchester the place of the lash
the Pinkerton thug the place of the
driver-and to introduce the system
subdued foreigners are used for the
first victims. A few more years ag-
gregation OF wealth and America will
be one vast slave pen where might in
stead of right shall triumph, and the
Egreat American republic, the same as
the ancient Roman republic, shall
have persisted. The present effort
that is being made by the American
patriots to save the country for the
people, if thwarted, will be the last.
and in horror hushed by force, we
shall realize that Abraham Lincoln's
prophesy has come true after all our
efforts to avert it. which everyone
should read carefully and ponder we'll,
as follows:
Il see in the near future crisis
arising which unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of nv
country. AS result of the war cor
porations have been enthroned, and an
era of corruption in high places will
follow, and the money power of the
country will endeavor to prolong it's
reign by work upon the prejudices of
the people until all the wealth is ag-
gregated in few hands and the re-
public is destroyed. feel at this time
more anxiety for the safety of my
country than ever before. even in the
time of the war. God grant that my
fears may prove groundless."
Yes dear reader Lincoln could not
have written more prophetically had
he been inspired. We read it's terri

home of every laborer and farmer in
the land, and we hear it on every
breeze in the heart-rending wall of
poverty and distress. Sem

and the farmer is the victim. It has
become unbearable, loading him with

Improving Rented Land.

A really good farmer almost neces
sarily improves whatever land he
works. In England or even in Ireland
the laws are made so that they give
the tenant part at least of the value
that he has added to the farm during
his lease of the premises. Here, if a
tenant makes the farm better, it may
prove his injury by raising the rent
But so many farmers who own their
land only do it to decrease fertility
that they have really little advantage
over those who own farms, and lease
them for a fixed price or to be worked
on shares.

Down on option Dealing.

Hon. c. A. Pillsbury sees in the
collapse of "Old Hutch of Chicago
another strong argument in favor of
abolishing option dealing. Mr.. Pills
bury, in discussing the matter yester-
day said:
l do not believe in this option trad
ing. It has been the cause of the
great depression among the agri-
cultural classes for years. It is enough
for any market to stand what sales are
made against what actual grain there
is. But when a whole crop can be
sold every day by man who does not
own bushel of grain it will surely
knock the life out of any market.
Boards of trade were originally started
for parties who actually owned wheat
for future delivery, and for parties
who actually wanted to buy for milling
and export. All this is strictly legiti-
mate but the legitimate business done
on boards nowadays as compared with
the Legitimate is as l to 100. If it is
actually necessary to wipe out the l
per cent of legitimate trade to destroy
the SO per cent of spurious, then let it
go.
The farming element through their
politicians, are trying to cut down rail-
road rates and grain elevator charges
Now if the farmers would rise in their
might and abolish option dealing it
would do them more good than if the
railroad would haul their wheat for
nothing and elevators handle it for
nothing. l am heavy wheat buyer
of course, but never buy for other than
legitimate trade purposes.

Use for kicking Cows.

If milk is not sold as milk, but only
used for making butter, it is often
worth quite as much for fattening
calves as for anything else. This
makes it possible to save kicking COWS,
to which successive series of calves
may be put in turn to suckle until fat,
and thus with no trouble to the owner

Mutton and Less Pork.

DR.. Galen Wilson says the flesh of
the sheep offers greater immunity from
disease and filth than that of any other
animal. They do not thrive in the
mire, nor wallow in the trough they
feed from. They consume neither gar
bage, ver1nin, decaying meats nor rot
ten vegetables. Their flesh has never
been known to impart scrofula or
trichine to those who eat it. The
sheep is dainty feeder, and clearly in
all it's habits; it cannot subsist on filth,
nor can it long survive within it's en-
vironment, They are of course subject
to disease, but unlike cattle, hogs and
fowls, they give ocular evidence of
their ailment, and that they are unfit
to slaughter for human food, almost as
soon as attacked. Mutton is whole
some, nutritious, and easily digested,
and those who partake of it may have
reasonable assurance that it is clean
and free from the germs of diseases
More mutton and less pork on our
tables would be best for both the pro-
Queer and consumer We are making
some progress in this direction, but
there is yet room for more.
The Indiges tible Stuff:
Experiments made by the New York
Dairy commission show that oleomar-
garine will not dissolve and liquefy in
any human stomach in it's natural and
ordinary temperature. 1t is indigesti-
BILE, and to the support of the New
York commissioners on this point of
indigestibility come the findings of
the French commission and other
scientific bodies. and not only is this
true, but every reading, thinking, in
telligent person knows it. The mis-
fortune is that the glare and glitter of
the color, the manufacture, consistency
and general make up of the fraud is
such as to capture the eye of the I'M
wary and the ignorant who buy it al
most invariably for butter, for the best
creamery butter, and not only eat it
themselves but give it to their child
rem. Here is where disease and death
come in. and the ignorant poor are the
sufferers. It is shame on our civil
zatiOn.

Dainty Dairying.

The thick ''clouted" cream is easily sold
if put up in cheap tumblers covered with
parchment paper labels, neatly cut and
gummed on the edge of the glass. Ny
way of marking the labels was with a
brass stencil plate, a brush and red or blue
ink, made by thickening solution of dia-
mond dye with starch A fancy border
around the name and brand, made in a
complimentary color, will add to the eff
feet. 1t was said by writer of 1000
years ago that the farmer who studies the
markets will increase in prosperity.
Cream is a great delicaey and most
valuable nutrient; its fat goes directly into
the blood without change by any digestive
process, and hence it is not productive of
nausea or indigestion to the dyspeptic
And hence, too, its perfect purity is i'm
perative. Cream brings a much higher
price than milk, more money than butter,
and is easily salable in towns, and even in
villages I sold a large quantity of it in
strawberry season for so cents a quart,
when butter brought only 35 cents, and a
quart of thick cream will make only one
pound Of butter.
Dairymen able to prepare their goods in
an attractive manner will find customers
in even small villages, where others cannot
make sales The appearance pleases, and
when the quality is found as good as the
looks the market becomes permanent. A
cake OF good butter, wrapped in fresh
parchment paper, with a bright trademark
and the owners name upon it, will bring 5
cents more for the half pound or the pound
than a chunk of the same make cut out of
tub. l found red ribbon tied around
the wrapper helped to sell every cake so
wrapped before one of the same lot not SO
wrapped was disposed OF. To pleaee the

times. y

A Few Farm Suggestions.


Any vice noticed at the time of training
the colt should be firmly but kindly sup
pressed. Any ungrainly or vicious habit
will be noticed by buyers and so lessen
the price, besides proving unpleasant or
dangerous before the horse is sold.
Exercise skill and Judgment with your
team when hauling heavy load Some
drivers when taking load to a given
point will exhaust both wind and mus
cles of a team; while another by taking
advantage of the ground or by giving
rest where especially needed, will get ex-
traordinary service out of team without
injury.
The aim of the horticulturist should be,
of course, toward producing fruits of the
very finest quality, but until buyers are
better educated in this respect the man
who grows fruit for profit must be sure to
have such products as are attractive to
the eye. If quality and appearance can
be combined, SO much the better; but
quality is as yet second to appearance in
selling.
The clover plant has two functions, one
of a feeding value and another of ma
nurial value, and if we judiciously COM
bine them we shall certainly solve the
problem of hard times. Every farmer, if
his pocketbook will permit, should feed his
clover to some kind of live stock on the
farm, and thereby obtain its great feeding
value and return it to the farm. It is a
most valuable manure.

Among the Poultry.

Pussy hens generally make poor mothers
Keep the hen house clean and well ven
tilated
When you begin shipping poultry pick
out what you want to keep.
Pullets that are Matched early and are
kept growing will begin laying early.
Fowls that fatten readily should have
plenty of exercise or they will get too fat
Always feed and water well before ship
ping, and be careful not to crowd too many
into the coops.
Whenever fowl shows signs of sickness
separate it from the rest of the flock as
soon as possible.
So far as possible keep the young fowls
to themselves, at least until they can be
given free range.
When you have thoroughly learned to
manage a few fowls it will be time enough
to keep large number.
On the farm good facilities, good man
agement and good markets are more i'm
portant than the breed of fowls.
An advantage with the incubator is that
with good management much more even
lot of poultry can be obtained for market
by means of it.

The Arkansas Expositor, Eureka
Springs, is fully alive to the situation:
The St. Louis Republic is weeping
over the bankrupt condition of the
United States treasury. While the
billion dollar appropriations of the
Fifty-First congress can be excused,
still there is no call for this passion
ate weeping. With over seven hun
dred millions of idle money in the
treasury and the present power of
coinage in the hands of the treasurer:
with the annual receipts through the
custom houses. at the lowest estimate
within few millions of previous years,
there can be no bankruptcy unless
purpOsely brought about by the
administration. And as for issuing
new interest-bearing bonds, the
people will not consent to it in a time
of peace, and when no valid reason can
be given for doing so, and it is death.

ing the administration that does it.
