Editor FREE Press:
In yourissue of the 18th inst. is q
timely article in regard to the prac-
tice of our people sending to Sacra-
mento and San Francisco for goods
which are kept in stock and can be
bought here in our own city. This
method is a continual drian and i'm
poverishes the whole people to GER
tain degree.
The merchant is not only deprived
of his per cent, but the circulating
medium is lessened, TO the detriment
of the whole people. 1t also occurs
to your correspondent that there are
at least some articles that are I'M
ported that can be produced at home,
and l also entertain fears that home
products and producers do not re-
ceive that encouragement that they
should by our dealers and consum-
ers.
Kansas eggs are shipped here in
such quantities and at such low fig
ures that our hens are discouraged
and die of melancholy. Potatoes,
onions and number of other vege-
tables which are in everyday demand
thrive well in our soils, and yet we
see them in our stores, labeled "Cal-
ifornia," "Utah," Colorado" etc.
From what L have seen and heard
of the country within radius OF %
miles of Las Vegas, there could be
more than supply of potatoes raised
at a low figure, and save the thous-
ands of dollars which are annually
sent to Colorado and elsewhere, to
the detriment of the whole people. l
have seen wagon loads of nice pota-
toes OIL our streets time and again,
and with the utmost difficulty could |
a purchaser be found. remember
one occasion when a merchant who |
was approached by a ranchman and
importuned to buy, replied: "No; L
have my cellar full of 'Greeleys' and
do not want natives at any price,"
On another occasion, the objection
was urged that "your native potatoes
will not cook" Whereupon the |
ranchman offered to put up the cash
and take all back at 10 cents per
pound that did not cook well. But
it was no go.
The remedy is to encourage home
industry, enterprise and products.
Buy the products of the ranch and
farm and the ranchman and farmer
will be able to buy of the home mer-
chant, and we can all be prosperous
? nd happy, whether admitted to
statehood or not. CLoDHoPPER.

Dresses for Little Maids.

Linen and foulard form the most
serviceable as well as most becoming
dresses for little girls between six and
ten years. A dress of this linen in the
ecru tint of the unbleached material
has band of very open embroidery in
the same shade about the bottom,
threaded in and out with sky-blue rib
bons. The tight-fitting sleeves are OF
the same material, and the narrow.
low-neclIed yoke, too, is of the lace,
with bebe ribbons run into the meshes
and finished with rosettes on the left
shoulder. Another little dress is of
foulard, in a pale shade of fax blue,
and has a girdle, narrow yoke, and
bands at the wrist of white galoon, en-
broidered in silver. Double, finely
plated ruffies. one of white and one OF

THE FLIES.

1t is a settled fact, proven by ex-
pertinent, that flies may be the means
of disseminating yellow fever, con-
sumption, small pox, and other in
fectiouS diseases. There is little doubt
that many cases of what is called spor-
adic cholera come from their visits.
They should be excluded from the
house and especially from the sick
room, and all articles of food and
drink should be protected from con-
tamination by them. If in addition to
precautions like these the system be
regulated by mild laxative, like tho
Laxative Gum Drop, there is absolute.
ly no danger from contagious diseases.
These gum drops contain no deleteri-
Gus substance but they will remove
from the system all morbid material
that clogs the stomach and bowels and
impedes digestion. They can be carried
in the pocket or in the valiSe without
trouble. If your druggist will not order
them for you, write to us. They come

CHANGES IN TlLLAGE.
The Need of Radical Reform In Growing
Farm Crops.

The Need of Radical Reform In Growing
Farm Crops.
1t is certainty that the future will
witness some radical changes in the
methods of growing crops on the farm,
for already experiments have pointed
out the fact that the farmers ia this
country can improve on the systems
practiced at present, and not only is it
possible to open new markets, but
wider fields are before them. In the
Did world circumstances compel the
arming classes to resort to every ex-
pedient in order to derive the largest
amount from the least area of land,
and as this country becomes more pop
ulous, and the area of land therefore
proportionately restricted, the support
of the consumers must be accomplished
by greater production. Already an
eminent scientist has given good rea-
sons for the belief that but decade
will be necessary to witness the sup
ply of wheat being sufficient for the
needs of America only, but the fulfill
ment of the prediction should not be a
cause for supposing that there will be a
lack of food, as a greater variety of
crops will be grown, and larger pro-
duction of many other articles than
wheat will be secured.
In this country. in competitive con-
tests, over 200 bushels Of corn have
been grown on one acre of land, and as
many as 1000 bushels of potatoes have
been produced on experimental plots,
l.a& &c al. III. 4
by judicious cultivation and the liberal
feeding Of the soil with especial fertil-
izers. If such crops could be grown by
all farmers, the productive capacity Of
this country would be more than quad
rupled; and yet it is possible to secure
such yields when the soil is brought to
that degree of fertility to which all
quires the aid of intelligence to accom-
plish. Chemistry is the agent which is
rapidly unfolding to the farmer the
true condition of the soil, and it will
aid him to cultivate less land and Sc.
cure larger crops.
The growing of two plants where
only one was grown before is a con.
summation sought by all progressive
farmers. The time will come when
the farmer will not cease his efforts to
feed his crop by simply spreading ma
nure on the land where he plants his
crop, but will continue to feed until
maturity, and at the same time the
land will be taxed to it's utmost to pro-
duce plant on every square foot of
soil upon which some particular kinds
may be grown. 1t is true that at pres.
ent the farmer has not reached a condi-
ton so highly to be desired, but he is
aiming to improve, and as there is NO
limit to improvement, rapid progress
will result. The experiment stations
are demonstrating every year that
farming is as yet but little more than
primitive in certain respects, and the
revelations made in these experiments
will sooner or later effect revolution
in agriculture. -Philadelphia Record.

AHsoision Has Given the Ugly Face the
Supremacy In the Social Scale.
AS matter of fact, there is scarcely
any connection between aristocracy,
even democratic aristocracy, and good
profile. The more complete the system
OF caste, the more absolutely it is dis
severed from anything relating to
external appearance. The social in
terror looks up to the superior, as one of
Dlckenss 'reverential wives looks up
70 her husband, with reverence not
impaired by any homeliness of features.

Veddahs are stunted, hideous, and
hlthy; they live in secluded caves and
holes; they eat bats and rats, and make
their scanty clothing from the bark of
trees; but the Singhalese regard them
as of the very highest tie, and it
would be no disgrace for woman of
good social position to marry Rock

greatest disgrace that cou Id be inflicted

vide burden into two bundles; their
shadow must not fall on stream, lest
1t be polluted; no m ember of another
caste may touch them without disgrace,
lIyet any one may shoot them without

consequence of the act of an ancestor
two thousand years ago, who inveigled

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

IT requires the very best of manage

HOW TO KILL WEEDS.
Neighbors Must Work Together to Exter-
inmate Noxious Plants.

Neighbors Must Work Together to Exter-
inmate Noxious Plants.
Weed according to rule is the general
tone of bulletin No. 10 of the Oregon
experiment station given to that sub
ject 1t requires as careful treatment
and study TO kill out weed as it does to
grow common field crops. The bulle-
tin to carry out this idea gives general
and specific rules for killing many Of
the more common field pests. There
should be cooperation first of all. 1t is
hard work for a farmer TO keep his
fields free from weeds when his neigh
boris land is running over with them.
Plants living one year can be de-
stroyed by keeping them moved or by
blowing under. Removing all plants
from the soil before they go to seed
will prevent the seeds remaining in the
soil and terminating after long sea-
son. Plants living for more than a
year are hard to dispose of, but can
usually be killed by keeping the leaves
cut close. To cultivate in a dry time
and when plants are growing is very
injurious for weeds.
Cutting when in flower will kill many
weeds Look for introduction of weeds
through the manure. Keep fields well
occupied with crops. Buy seed of re-
liable firms and avoid introducing
weeds through the seed. Good seeds
are smooth, Shiny, full and heavy,
readily sinking in water and popping
like corn when placed on a hot stove
