FARM NOTES.

1t is a pleasant sight to see farm ami
mails cherish confidence in the persons
who attend them 1t is easy to secure
confidence if always treated kindly.
The teasing hired man or boy is a nui-
sance.
Dark stables for horses or COWS should
be abolished. They have full light out
Of doors, and they need it in the stable
alsO-unless in fly time. At. times a
brief period of darkness may be de-
lightful to them.
The lungs # stock animals are not
proof always against the foul OdOrs of
neglected stables. Men cannot live
and be healthy in filthy surroundings.
| nor can animals. Their silence about
it is not necessarily a sign of satisfac-
ton with their quarters.
a cubic foot Of ensilage weighs about
! fifty pounds. and with this fact as g
basis g. Western New York grower
! claims to have raised 100 tons of corn
! fodder on five and One-half acres some
years ago. This is about thirty tons

A wash made of q pound of soap and
an ounce Of carbolic crystals is recon-

and a half pounds of it dissolved in a
pail of warm water and made into a

thing Objectionable will be gone from

Advising a farmer to sometimes ''sit
| on the fence and think" would be good
advice if the fence itself were q wise
farm provision. But that is not always
the case. The fences on thousands Of
farms should be abolished. The man
that puts an unnecessary fence out of
sight shows by the act that he is a
| thinker. and deserves credit.

CARE OF HONEY.

After the honey is taken from the
hive a great many people permit it to
spoil because they do not know how to
Care for it. Many think it should be
kept cool and SO put it in the cellar.
This is the worst thing that could be
done with it. If there is any damp
ness around, honey is sure to absorb it.
But O~ur'cellar is very dry, and it is
the only place we have to keep il" has
been the remark of more than one to
the writer when he has told them not
to put honey in the cellar. It NAV be
well to say, once for all, that there is
not a cellar in the United States drv
enough to keep honey in. Put your
honey in the dry est and warmest room
you have about the house. If there is
a fire in it all the better, as honey
should not be left where it will freeze
in winter. Exchange.

Ny HORSE; MY LOVE By Dinah
Sharpe, Author of The Apple of
Arabla's Eye" and Other Stories.
Illustrated. New York: Orange Judd
Company, 1892. 155 PIP, H., 12mo.,
cloth 75c., paper SOC.
The careful reader will find through
out this in5eresting narrative, an under
tone of love for man and beast, which
quietly appeals for more kindness to-
ward the horse as mans most faithful
helper. The Arab Beauties rival the
famous Black Beauty. The thrilling
adventures of the Count in the desert
homes Of the Arabian steeds, where
the tent of the nomad shelters the
mare and colt by the side of the mother
and child, are skillfully inter woven
with the history and methods of breed
ing the Arabian horse. The vivid de,
e%cTiption Of the careful mating and
rearing, as secured by the tribal rites,
will undoubtedly inspire a greater love
for the American horse, with as excel
lent results as those which have made
Arab blood the foundation of all the
thoroughbred and trOtting stock of
every nation, as related in the chap

GRESHAM ON VOTE BUYING.

Just at this time Judge Gresham's
speech at the unwilling of the Grant
statue In Chicago makes good reading.
He points out the greatest danger that
threatens the liberties and rights of
the people, which is the systematic
corruption Of the ballot b. the old
parties. Judge Gresham dealt with
the subject generally, we'll knowing
that both the old parties INDUCED III
the vile traffic in votes, but it is plain
that he had chiefly in view the methods
by which Harrison obtained his first
election and which arenOw we'll under
stood in this State. This is what the
great jurist said:
We need men possessing the essen
tial quail les of political manhood to
resist the aggressiOns of those who seek
TO make of our politics, Doth an art
and a mystery, Ineligible only to the
adept and Initiated, who assume the
management Of them, by virtue of
their capacity for the deft and artful
manipulation OF their fellows. Their
influence upon the country is corrupt
and debasing, and the g Of political
venaliCy constantly enlarges under it.
According to their views the whole in
terest that any citizen has In municipal
State or National Government is meas.
ured by what he can make out of it.
1t is worse than idle to shut our ives
to the existence of corrupt methods
and practices in our pol tics, which
threaten to subvert our free institu
tiOrs. The people are often cheated
at the polls and in legislation, and
prizes which should be the reward of
honest are too frequently bestowed
upon the cunning and INSCRIPTIONS
rich Real freedom is not enjOyed by
the people unless the laws are enacted
by their honestly chosen representa-
tlveS, n their freedom of action Is as
much impaired, when it is ~cOrruDtly
influenced, as II controlled by force.
The man who accepts a bribe of any
o ! places his con science and judg-
ment IN the vllest bondage. He is no
longer free. Argument is wasted on
nm. Considerations of the DubIic
veal or woe do not affect him. Raw.
Onets at the polls would not control
his conduct O effectively. And
men who contribute money to b1v
votes, and to bride the peoples repre-
sentatlves, as well as those who dis
burse 1t, are deadly enemies to the re-
public. Their greed and love of mower.
are greater than their love of country
They impair popular respect for law
which Is the only safeguard for life and
property and it will be an evil dav for
the nation when it's preservation de-
ponds upon its patriotism and courage
They may masquerade in the garb of
Righteousness, and address the peoDIe
in the language of patriotism, but
their virtues are assumed; they are
hypocrit9s and ~assassins of liberty, and
would welcome a dynasty rather than

THE CONDITION AS 1T IS HOW
CAN WE REMEDY IT?

We clip the following pointed state

and would jus5 add tnat there is no way
to help matters and get relief except
| to force it, aud a peaCeable citizen has
no way OF forcing it except through
| the ballOt-bOX. Education and cOntin
ued agitation is the only way Of max
| ing the average citizen see it. and the
! only fear we have is that he will only
see it when everlastingly too late.
The masses Of humanity are today
! tOiling and pinching and saving, from
one years end to the other, and they
receive only a miserable p~ittance upon
| which to eubslst, and nothing is laid
aside for a rainy day. We see this in
our own immediate neighbOrhO0ds-
| men with families to support who bare
~ earn the food they eat and are hard
" aOle to produce sufficient clothing to
keep them comfortable. The outlook
to them is dark indeed. Where shall
relief be found? Will the plutOcrat re-
lease his grip upon the throat Of the
tOiler. or the bOndsman grow weary of
turning into his Golfers the earnings of
his slaves9 Shall we look to the men
who have brought degradation and
. poverty to the tOiler to remove the

upon them? Aliens are constantly
securing immense tracts Of land in this
country, and every effort is being made
to con roI legislation in the interest of
the p%lutocrat. and against the farmer
aud labOrer. TOiiIng on, day after day,
the labOrers have allowed these wrongs
! to pass unnOticed, until now their re
mOval will require herculean efforts.
Wise counsel must prevail and the DeO-
pie must be educated in the needs of
the hour. The people have an all
powerful weapon in the ballot, and
they must use IL.
The business men, it is very evident,
60 not pay much attention t the real
| reason Tor hard times. They say,
| There is not enough money in the
! country, " business is dull, - the PEG
pie haven't got any money to pay
with" They stop right here. They
don't follow this up and ask why it is
the people have no money, and if there
is any way of increasing the volume of
| money
The enormous interest that the peo-
pie are paying is as great a burden on
the business man as 1t is on the farmer
or laborer, and the money stringency
effects him In precisely the same man
ner. The sooner the merchant realizes
that his prosperity depends upon the
prosperity of the masses the better it
will be for all concerned Cotton

WOMEN SHOULD REST.

The midday rest, il no longer than
half an hour, should be a part Of the
daily regime Of every hard working
h~ousekeeper. If she can 80 manage
that she can get such a rest, she will
feel like rising early in the morning,
when she can do extra work in the
cool hours of the day, and the other
wise long our of duty of the day will
be comfortably broken. A great many
women toll on hour after hour without
realizing till they lie down to rest at
night how tired they are. They have
been keeping up on their nerve force
rather than on their strength-a most
dangerous thing to do.-Er.

shed their blood in defense Of popular
government. Their shameless and in
sidious attacks on free institutions are
infinitely more dangerous than the
revolutionary teachings and practices
of a comparatively few visionary and
misguided men and women in Ourlarge
cities. It is not such men as these, but
the great multitude, engaged in active
and hardy pursuits, who constitute the
real strength of the nation. They are
not enemies of laws and order, they do
not envy or hate those who have &c
quired property by honest methods,
they bear their full share of the public
burdens, and 80 long as the powers Of
the nation are not perverted to their
injury for the enrichment of a few,
they will rally to it's defense with IN
selfish and devoted patriotism. Their
energy and courage have not been
deadened by ease and luxury. There
can be no prosperity without public
tranquility, and the people will not
long remain tranquil under a we'll
founded belief that the corrupt use Of
money prevents a free and honest ex
preston of their choice Of men and
measures. II public opinion cannot
be honestly expressed in authorized
ways, our elections will become useless
and expensive mOckeries, and free gov
eminent will exist only in name. Let
us not be deceived by mere forms.
Radical changes in government may
be effected without ~perceptible change
in the mode of administration. Some
OF the worst tyrannies the world has
ever known were maintained under
popular forms. "1ECchGnge.

Although not exactly a horticultural

is hung up in the smoke house and
given a good smoking along with the
