One Of your farmer friends, whose only
faults is that he is a Democrat-and he is
not TO he blamed for that, for his father
before him was dyed in the wool, and he
never reads the newspapers-came to
town one day this week to buy some
sugar. His good wife was putting up
fruit and she needed about fifteen pounds
of sweetness. The dialogue in the grocery
ran about as follows:
Farmer-What are you doing, Young
man?
Clerk--Wait,ng on you. Weighing out
your sugar.
Tarmer-liow much are You giving
me?
Clerk--A d3llar's worth.
Farmer-Ges, | know; but how many
pounds?
Clerk-Twentyfour.
CHARACTERIZATION, Why, it used
to he only fourteen.
Clerk-Yes, but Mckinley did it.
Farmer-Well, run her back and give
me only fourteen pounds. If took home
twenty.iour pounds of sugar for 81 the

Mr.. A. e. STEVENSON of Bloomington,
ILL.,, who was selected as Mr. Cleveland's run
ing mate, lives in the memery Of the people
as the most untiring worker of the
official guillotine in American history. He
was First Assistant Postmaster General
under Cleveland, and is charged with about
10000 official decapitations during the four
years that he held the fate of the Post
masters Of the country in his hands. A very
large proportion of the dismissed officials
were veterans or the widows of veterans
There would have been less complaint if he
had replaced these with Democratic vet
erans-enough of whom could have been
found to have succeeded their Republican
comrades But Mr.. Stevenson never over
flowed with affection for those who wore the
blue, and an honorable discharge from the
Union army did not have much weight with
him in deciding an application for Post
mastership. A letter from some Ward or

FARMERS, ATTENTION +!
A SLEBDID PAPER VERY CHEAP.
The American Farmer from Now
until End Of 1892 for Is Cents.

IL Asaerfcaa Farmer is the Oldest agri-
cultural paper in America, having been
published in Baltimore since 1919.
Last Winter it passed into the hands of a
new management, who have greatly enlarged
and improved it. tits now superb journal
of 81 large pages, with handsome cover,
and finely illustrated. 1t is issued on the
LIST and Is of each month, and gives
larger amount Of better reading matter for
the money than any other agricultural paper
in the country. All the leading agriculture!
writers contribute to it, and great amounts
of money are constantly being expended to
secure the best available information On all
farming matters.
The american Farmer is thoroughly non
partisan in politics, but is a strong advocate
of protection upon every farm product which
comes into injurious competition with those
of foreign countries. 1t is particularly
earnest in its support of the tariff on wool
and the development of the sheep-raising
industry of this country until our own
farmas win supply every pound of wool
and mutton that our people require. 1t
devotes considerable space every issue to
information in regard to sheep-raising and
the discussion of matters of interest TO flock
owners. Besides this it has departments
devoted TO Dairying, Poultry, Bee excepting
Horses Swine, Grain-growing Stock and all
branches OF farming.
One OF lis peculiarly valuable features is
that it publishes in every issue the latest
issued mars 81 the Weather Bureau, giving
the temperature and rainfall all over the
country for the previous two weeks. This
information Is Of the utmost importance to
every farmer in Judging the probable course
of the market 1t is precisely the informa-
ton that the grain spectators have been
securing al great expense, in order TO shape
their operations. By means of these maps
the readers of The american Farmer are
given Just as reliable information as to the
condition OF The crops everywhere as the
spectators and operators have, and thus
are placed in exactly as good position to
judge the course of the market
In order 10 give all the farmers Of the
country an opportunity to become thor
oughly acquainted with the many merits Of
The American Farmer, the management has
decided TO make the extraordinary offer TO
send the Journal for the remainder Of 1892
10 anyone sending them % cents. This is a
great opportunity TO get vast amount of
unusually good reading matter for an in
significant sum.
