dress goods in our own mills that has
made the foreign ones famous. Fresh
and attractive styles were the immedi-
ate result and fine and honest.fabrics in
a wide range of colorings. So sue
cessful were the efforts put forth
as direct consequence of the pressure
which thrust the home goods to the
front that the firm which confesses its
bitter hostility to the new tariff at the
outset now acknowledges frankly
and without reserve that many Of
the home lines of plain and fancy
woolens shave received an acknowl-
edged reputation for quality, style and
finish, which have nearly trebled the
sales over former years"
At 80 cents, 75 cents, 81 and $1.25
this experienced and practical business
house declares that goods are being sold
to day that are of distinctly better value
for the cost. whether considered as to
style or intrinsic quality, that have ever
been imported under any tariff. New
and improved machinery has been set
up in the mills, looms have been kept
running at full time, and better goods
have been progressively attempted under
the stimulus of an active demand.
The Mckinley tariff. that is to say,
has done much to settle. in the eyes of
competent and certainly not favorably
prejudiced authority, the future Of the
dress goods industry in this country. II
the improvement Of the past year and
half is maintained, there will be no oc-
casion for bringing from abroad dress
goods Of any description, the require
ments of the trade being fully supplied
from our own looms.

THE officials Of the city government
have acted wisely in awarding the va
Gated contract for city printing to the
PROVIDENCE Journal. The paper is,
aside from political disingenuousness,
a very good one, and its readers are
widely distributed, though of course not
so numerous as those Of afternoon pa
pers like the Bulletin and NEWS. AS it
is now arranged. the printing is given
to the News and Journal, one evening
paper and one morning, one Republican
and one Democratic, which is fair and
businesslike and calculated to best serve
the city's interests.

Cleaning up
Prices!

They prevail throughout
our store, just now-for OBJ
vious reasons.
Stocks are pretty low
even remnants and the odd
accumulations which distin-
guish the seasons ending, are
pretty much reduced. And
the bargains that are left
from the past two weeks of
our Midsummer Sales are
greater bargains than ever
before. A tour of inspection
will discover many things
that you want, at prices lower
than you would be likely to
name yourself if you were to
"bid" on them.
Another thing-important
improvements now in pro-
gress, which will necessitate
a rearrangement of many de-
partments, make us the more
anxious to thoroughly clean
up stocks, and not at all
backward about cutting prices
way down to do it.

WHEN TO SAY "WHoA."

It is very common for men to yell
whoa" whenever they approach a
horse, especially in a stable after dark.
The object of speaking is laudable, but
the method is unwittingly the Il OF
much annoyance and some accidents.
ANY word can have but have but one
meaning, to a horse, and If 0 than
one idea is associated with it the horse
is confused and not knowing what Is
meant, he does not obey. When a
horse is 8 anding still and a man APP
proaches and yells "whOar' what is
the horse to thInk2 He was taught at
first that "whoa!" meant for him to
stop, but in this case his horse intellect
will be lost in speculation and wonder.
Again. what will the horse think when,
tr0tting briskly, he hears the com
manding whoa" (meaning for him to
slow up,0 and when he attempts tostop
to feel a touch Of the whip if the does
not stop whenever he hears it? The
next time the command is given in
earnest, perhaps, but the horse isn't
sure and keeps on, looking around in
ouiringly only to receive a vigorous
Vank on the lines. Of the two the man
is the more stupid.
We shall not soon forget a little
black mare that we secured from a
horse ranch five years ago. She is of
a gentle disposition, but we secured a
competent hOrseman to handle her for
a week. She was taught the meaning
of whoa" to perfection, and was the
best broke horse in the country. While
showing a friend over the country,
driving the little black single, we came
across a rare and snowy flower that
brought out the exclamation, "Oh!
what a beautiful fowerp' No sooner
than was the word "oh " uttered than
the little horse stopped as if she had
been shot, nearly throwing US over the
dashboard. OF course we were pro
voked, but we could not help smiling
at the promptness of the animal in
obeying a fancied command to stop.
To this day the mare will stop much
quicker for the word whoa" than for
a pull on the lines. Any horse will do
as well if taught properly at the start,
but may be spoiled by thoughtless
after-treatment. The vocabulary that
can be taught a horse is not very ex-
tensive, and the association of an idea
with a particular word comes only with
continual teaching Nebraska Farmer

gently, is equally free to all in this age
of free schools and the modern print
ing press. So that under all the cir
cumstances, under our fOrmof govern
ment, if the producers and wage
workers fail to obtain their just share
in the distribution of the wealth which
they create and to enjoy in full meas
ure the fruits of progressive age and a
high state of civilization, it is their
own fault. If numbers count for any
thing, it is certainly a reproach upon
our American citizenship to admit
that we are unequal to the work of
righting existing wrong, by pursuing
the legitimate course prescribed by
law. The greatest load to be carried
by the labor classes is the dissipated
shiftless multitude who squander their
earnings and who fall back upon the
Industrious for support.

MARRIAGES"

During the past twenty years 328, coo
divorces have been granted by the
courts of the United States, 80 per
cent. of them to women. While this
total is large enough to appear to give
good grounds for the assertion that the
p~erpetuity of the family is threatened,
1t dwindIes when brought into com
parison with the number of marriages
during the same period. One twentieth
of the total is Is, 400, the number
granted each year, only about [ per
Cent, of the number of marriages.
There is nothing in the world that hui
man beings undertake to do that can
show SO small a percentage of fetal
failure as marriage. Though statiegs
are not at hand to prove il, there
donbt if divorces much exceed golden
weddings in number. They Certainly
40 not exceed silver weddings. Inves-
tioation of the subject Of improper
marriages would seem to offer more
none Of results beneficial to society
than examination of divorce statistics.
tt takes both time and money to get
a divorce. while marriage is easy and
cheap. Even a tramp walking across
the country for a prize found no diff
.cuItv the other day in fulfilling that

SAVE H NOTES.

We are very glad to find the condi
ton of the cotton planter greatly i'm
proved from the increased price of cot
ton, but what is of still greater import
ance for all interests considered we
believe to be the added sources of profit
which the cotton planted has secured
within the last few years. The expires
sion is very pertinent that neither
blessings o misfOrtunes come singly.
Coming 50 soon after the general utili-
zatiOn Of cotton seed, we now find that
the notes which have been previously
considered as absolute waste, can be
utilized to great advantage.
From reports which have reached us
we infer that there are Is pounds or
more Of notes to each bale of cotton,
and these notes having been formerly
considered as absolute waste, any ad-
vantage or income that may be derived
from them is so much absolute gain to
the planter or ginner, or both.
A machine has now been perfected
for ginning NOTES whereby they are
rendered of value, and as it is fair to
assume that there must be from 100,
600, 600 to $50, 600, 900 pounds of these
notes produced with this years cotton
crop, it will be seen that such an i'm
mense quantity, if carefully and per
sist8ntly saved, will add very largely
to the total income from the cotton
crop. Il is desirable to keep them
reasonably dry, and this as we under,
stand, is the only practical requisite, as
they can be baIed in n old or low
grade packing, and in fact, the High
land Manufacturing Co., Of Memphis,
Tenn, will furnish packing of this
variety at actual cost to those who col
lect the notes for shipment to them,
We understand that, realizing the
magnitude of this added source of in
come to the cotton planter, and also
the desirability Of saving all the notes
possible, arrangements can be made
for the purchase of this machine for a
certain territory, Or that the Highland
Manufacturing Co., will purchase the
notes, or in fact, make any arrange
ment whereby the saving of the NOTES
can be secured at mutual advantage to
all parties interested.
The added money received from this
soUrce alone ought to be sufficient to
build several cotton mills each year,
and in manufacturing the present state
of competition is such that the saving
of waste constitutes in many instances

ton. In the raising of cotton the saw
ing Of the seed, added to the present
possibility Of saving the notes. allows
a comparatively low and otherwise un-
profitable price for the staple added to
these other sources of income to make
on the whole a profitable industry.
On the general principle of wishing
every section of our common country
success, it is always pleasant to see any
leaks stopped or any waste material
utilized, which adds to the general
welfare, and we hope the Southern
papers will give warning to their read
ers that in wasting the notes they are
wasting money.-TeTtiLe M0nuJdctWr-

Sound Wisdom in his Advice to all In
dustrieS.

AS
IF any n who tolls a read these
few lines from T. V. Powderly and not
see his duty plainly, there is little hope
that he ever will see 1t:
"Workingmen stick together very
well considering the forces which work
against them. A system which makes
men and fills our cities and towns with
an army of hungry men, who rush
where a strike takes place, is a system
that robs the farmer of the atrOnage,
if l may call it by,that name, of these
idle millions. We who know better are
forced to stand by and e workingmen
drift away into separate camps, in
stead of uniting in n solid, compact
army of industry which should know
no craft boundaries.
One clock, running with one set of
machinery, will always keep one time.
1t may not be the best kind of time
and it may not always be correct, but
there will always be but one kind of
| time kept by that clock. If the ma
chinery is divided up and set behind
the faces Of two kinds of time, in spite
Of all the thinkers and clOck-makers on
the face of the globe, it will not keep
the same time. LabOring men wanting

SHEEP

To keep sheep healthy they require a
frequent change Of food.
Especially when on dry feed sheep
need a good supply of water.
Care should be taken to clean out the
managers of feed racks regularly.
Look over the flock and sell the sheep
that show the least improvement.
Inferior sheep are often a drug when
good sheep sell readily at good prices.
Never allow sheep to be frightened
or run by a dog or In any way be dis
turbed.
If any of the ewes have poor teeth it
will always pay to feed them ground
feed.
A sheep kept thrifty will shear a
heavier and better fleece than one poor
ly kept.
In commencing to feed grain to
sheep, feed a small quantity at first
and gradually increase.
The farmer that is too careless to give
sheep good care will ID better with
some other class of stock.
The days are for feeding and the
nights are for repose, and with no stock
Is this more the case than with sheen.
Sheep of different ages and conditions
should be sorted into different lots and
the weaker ones have a little better
feed.
With comfortable surroundings.
which implies dry, warm shelter and
regular feeding, a small amount of
grain can be made to count.

sheep sheds as it lessons the risks of

ONE OR TWO PLAIN TRUTHs

I know what I am about to say will
not at first be pleasant, or perhaps &C
ceptable, to the majority of farmers,
but when thinking men analyze these
plain truths, they will pardon their
first disagreeable impressions, for the
sake of the kernel of good that lies in
them. I do not claim originality in
presenting them, they have been re-
peated hundreds of times, and the
principles underlying them are as old as
the hills themselves. But the urgency
of our present needs demands that they
should be impressed again and again
upon the minds of our farmers.
Farming, all things considered, is the
best business on earth, and the safest,
where the farmer gives the same at
tention to his work that the doctor, the
lawyer, the merchant bestows on his
but under our present management it
is actually cheaper for a farmer to buy
cotton than it is for him to raise it
And this is the crop on which we ex-
pend all our energies, all our means,
and on which we depend for our in
come.
To the owner of land, this condition
IS d~eplorable, but to the farmers, who
rents land and borrows money, or pro
ASisions to make cotton, it is ruinous.
