No words spoken In public for many
years have had the potency of Presi
dent Harrison's address of five minutes
at Albany. 1t is safe to say that those
few but well-chosen words were heard
everywhere in the commercial realm.
Their effect upon the business public
was immediate and favorable. Yet, rank
ing as it does above any other i'm
promptu utterance of a public man for
years past, the public prints have not
generally given it in full south of the
city of New York. This was, of course,
one of those errors of judgment that are
rather too conspicuous in journalism of
this time, but 1t is never too late to cor
rect such errors. We are glad to note
that The Manufacturer has set a good
example by reproducing that address in
its issue of September 1st
The sentiment that struck home re-
lates to the maintenance of all of our
currency at par. The words are these
II do believe that the general govern
ment is solemnly charged with the duty
OF seeing that the money issued by it is
always and everywhere maintained at
par. / believe that | speak that which
is the common thought of us all when |
say that every dollar, whether paper or
coin, issued or stamped by the general
government should always and every
where be as good as any other dollar"
This has been construed as notice that
the executive will not countenance free
silver coinage. Indirectly it involves
that, undoubtedly, for the unlimited
coinage of silver while the market price

almost certainly cause the coin and the
certificates therefor issued to depre-
ciate, though to what extent nobody
can tell. The Manufacturer thinks
the utterance above quoted must be
construed to mean that the President
is Supposed to unlimited coinage of silver
now. But that is the very point in con-
troversy. There can be no discussion
OF the policy of unlimited silver coin
age at some future time, because when
the conditions of unlimited coinage
serve there will be no question of the
coinage to discuss. The moment silver
and gold resume their legal parity there
will be no more demand for unlimited
coinage of silver than there is now for
the coinage of gold. As fact we do
not pretend to coin the gold deposited
at the mint now, but we do receive all
that is offered and pay for it in par
funds, while We receive all the silver
offered up to 4,500,000 ounces monthly,
and then suspend purchase. That is the
difference in our treatment of the
money metals, for we pay for both at
the market price.
The demand for unlimited coinage is
a demand for reversal of the laws of
compensation, and it is founded in the
grand passion which energies many
souls to get something for nothing.

Delaware. "a 20 81 96 10l
The Philadelphia club prides itself
upon containing some of the finest
cricket talent in that great cricket city,
and the defeat here by Delaware was
somewhat of a surprise to the team that
came here. IL was not close game,
but Philadelphia sustained a crushing
defeat, thanks TO the fine work of Bring
hurst and Turton, Bringhurst's score
OF 45 stands among the best of the
seasons record for the home club
Turton and Bringhurst made very
long stand together, and eight of Phila-
delphia's bowlers were used in the eff
fort to break their stand. Turton was
bowled when the score was within one
of tie. The visitors consumed con-
siderable time in changing their bowlers
and fielders, and, in fact, it was the
slowest game ever played at elsemere
II was done for the purpose of keeping
Delawares score within the century,
but Bringhurst's careful scoring and the
rapid hitting of IIomewood carried the
total past the coveted hundred before
time was called.
The features of the fielding were the
catches of L. F. Bayard, Jr., and H.
Candy. Turton and Homewood bowled
in splendid form, the latter taking four
wickets for II runs and having nine
"maiden overs" to his credit. Ii Turton
keeps up his present bowling form, the
opponents of Delaware in the coming
games will have to play first class
cricket in order to win. AT West Chester
on Saturday, he took nine of the 10
wickets and yesterday he took six of

The Fruit-Jar Squeeze.

Take notice, housewives The doub-
ling up in the price of fruit-jars in the
height of the canning season is cum
ningly laid to scarcity and underpro-
duction; but the Iron Age lets the cat
out Of the bag. 1t says: sit is reported
from Pittsburg that at meeting of the
fruit-iar manufacturers an increase in
the price Of fruit jars was decided upon"
In order to promote the more eifectual
robbery of persons using glassware, the
Mckinley act increased the tariff thereon
and made 1t more impossible to escape
the clutches of the Glass Trust. The
matrons who now find the price of fruit
jars suddenly doubled should not forget
the root of the trouble.

Treatment OF Sick Animals.

1t Is not always easy for farmer 10
determine just what treatment Is best
for sick animal, while educated vet
erinarians are sometimes in doubt
what course to pursue. 1t is not strange
that farmers who have had no oppor-
tunity to study the symptoms and treat
ment of disease are perplexed whom
they find that some of their animals
are sick. There is one thing. however,
that is always safe and is often impor-
tant to do That Is to isolate the
affected animal at once. II the disease
is contagious it is'a matter of great
moment II it proves to be only
simple malady, the removal OF the sick
creature from the others can do no
harm. while it will give better oppor-
tunities for care and nursing and will
greatly hasten recovery. If tho dis
ease is contagious, prompt removal
may prevent its spread. Oftentimes
whole focks OF sheep or herds of COWS
have become diseased, when the i'm
mediate removal of the animal first to
be affected would have entirely pre-
vented the spread OF the disease. In
marked cases of sickness competent
veterinarian should be called as soon
as possible But the first thing TO be
done, whether the case appears to BIO
severe or mild. is to put the sick crea-
ture into a stable by itself and make it
as comfortable as possible. American

Many of the ailments in the poultry

When turkeys are first hatched they
need little feed often rather than

Ducks are enormous eaters and
sometimes it is difficult to determine

Young ducks must be kept out OF tho

Farm Notes.

More than 90 per cent of the onor-
nous corn crop raised in this country
in 1889 was consumed at home.
In dry seasons farmers should look
we'll to their water supply. Water
from wells nearly dry is generally foul.
Foul water is the source OF many ills.
The Indiana Farmer well says that
punctuality in milking cows is Of pri-
mary Importance and for the best re-
suits is quite as essential as regularity
in feeding.
An excellent article OF soap is man.
ufactured from corn. Experiments
show that bushel of corn, with the
requisite amount OF alkali, will mako
200 pounds of soap.
There is moro clear profit TO be made
from small flock of sheep-say forty
TO eighty head-than from any other
stock of equal cost. But it requires
good sense to get the profit
Nearly all classes of stock will re-
fuse to eat wet hay, or wet fodder, I'M
less hungrier than 1t is profitable to
allow the farm stock to become, and
oven then they will waste more or less.
He is but dolt OF farmer who
does not know that all the heat in the
animal comes from the food it con-
sumes, but that exposure to cold
wastes the internal heat, and thus
wastes the feed.
The best time 10 clean the mud of
the horses legs is before it gets dry;
wash of with a large sponge or cloth
and then wipe dry. This will be far
better than allowing to dry and use the
curry comb and brush.
Barley Is an excellent substitute for
corn as food for stock, and it is more
certain crop than wheat or oats.
Ground with oats, or by itself, 1t is
good for any animal on the farm.
Western farmers will do we'll to raise
more barley, In place of corn and oats.
The farmer should consider all plans
In his reach whereby be can grow
cheap pork during the summer. Oats
and peas grown together will come in
early. Sweet corn can ESQ be mado a
helper In this matter, feeding the
whole stalk when the ear is just past

HOW TO BEST IMPROVE THE
COUNTRY ROADS.
It Is the sheerest Folly to Expcnd Labor
and Money on o-Calied "Improye-
ments" which Last but
Day-Tho Household.
Improving the Roads

That most excellent of farmers
journals the Country Gentleman, in
an able and interesting discussion Of a
subject now commanding a great deal
of attention in progressive rural COM
munities, says:
The subject OF the Improvement of
the public roads has recently engaged
an unusual share of general interest,
and many plans are proposed for ef-
fecting a thorough reformation in their
construction and management Some
of these plans include the raising of a
tax in each township Of IS, 600 or
more, but there is great diversity OF
opinion how this money, when OBJ
tanned, shall be expended. Some per-
sons would make it county tax;
others general state interest, with
town, county or state officers appoint
cd to eXpend it.
The present condition of our public
thoroughfares is imposing tax on the
whole farming community in the shape
of wasted time, broken wagons, rup-
tured harness, and difficulty in reach
ing markets, much greater than an
intelligent use of the means at our
, command would require for the re-
moval of most of these evils.
The great leading defects in tho
present mode of making and repair
ing" the country roads, is the misap-
| plication of labor Sods and muck are
often heaped from each side of the
track, forming broad ridge or turn
pike" on which vehicles are expected
to travel. When long rains occur,
this ridge is converted into bed Of
mud, and the higher the ridge has
been made the more copious tho mud
and the deeper the ruts are cut by the
passing wheels. The roads are thus
made worse by the work expended on
them. 1t Is u common saying that cor
tain roadways are to be avoided be-
cause they have been recently mend
ed"
The writer has had an opportunity
of witnessing in successive years, the
mode of applying highway labor, as
I sessed according to the number of days.
A two-horse team counted one day;
the pillow or wagon drawn by IL an
other day; the boy who held the pillow
third day; and another boy the fourth
day. The tax was easily worked out
in this way, especially as the teams
and laborers did not always reach the
place for working before nine o'clock
in the morning. and labored leisurely
during the rest of the day.
A fine illustration occurred where
half mile of stage road passed over q
piece of fat land, consisting of nearly
foot of rich soil or musk on a hard
and solid subsoil. The musk being
easily moved was scraped into a turn
pike, thus laying bare the hard sub
soil which formed the ditch at the side.
When wet weather came, the muck
turnpike was nearly or quite impassa-
BILE, and all the vehicles chose TO drive
into the ditch with its hard and smooth
bottom, showing a good material 4

Grape Pruning for Farmers.

Beginners generally try the renewal
system of grape pruning. as it is easily
learned. 1t consists in growing each
year two or more sprouts from near the
crown of the stem and cutting these
back three or four feet, and then tying
them to the wires. But this plan for
the farm brings most of the grapes too
near the ground, where fowls soon
learn 10 make havoc with them and
once learned they will scarcely leave
any for the owner. We have allowed
fowls to run among the grape vines
through the season by permitting no
grapes TO set near the ground. The
vines were trained TO trellis five feet
high, and most OF the grapes hung be-
tween four and five feet The grapes
were also, "a we thought better than
those grown lower down, and receiving
less sunlight on their leaves.
