The best farmer and the one who make
the most money from farming is the ont
who studies and understands his business
best.

Wood ashes very finely sifted are good

Very hot water is better for bumps and

One of the greatest leaks on the average
farm is the unnecessary damage done to
the farming implements through exposure

When never allowed day to fish or
spend as he pleases. the boy is too apt to
imagine that farming is harder and more
confning than any other kind of business.
Secretary Morton is reported to have said :;
"rhe statistics really show that agricul-

or railroading' taking all things into ac-

No Matter how hard farmer works
nor how good crops he makes, there will
not be much profit for him unless he pro-
duces very largely the things that are con-
sumed at home.
Opening canned fruit an hour or two

A small farm we'll titled is pretty sure to
give its owner profit. With large
farm and much hired labor, yon have to
settle with the expense account and the
tax gatherer before you know how you will
come out, and too often these take the
profit.
Newspapers wet thoroughly and crum-

Pwuliarities of the Year 1898.

A study of the calendar of 1898
will show that the present year will
have some peculiariIies. To begin
with it commenced and closes on
Sunday, and contains all or part of
SO weeks. Each of the seven days of
the week has the honor of being the
first day of at least one month. Three
of the months begin on Wednesday,
while Sunday, Thursday and Satur-
day are each the natal day for two
months. There are three months,
April, July and December, that cover
part of six weeks each. Washington's
birthday came on Wednesday, and
Decoration Day and the glorious
Fourth of July fall on Tuesday.
Thanksgiving Day will fall on Thurs
day, the last day of November. and
will be the latest Thanksgiving cele-
DRAFTED in the last decade. In fact it
can never be any later in the year:
AS this is the Worlds Fair year, all
the peculiarities are eXcusable.

honor, to wit. that the Alliance is a
non-political organization and he
could not therefore consistently per.
nit himself to be nominated, will
seem just a little thin" to old mem
bers of that body on the Eastern
Shore who remember the effort made
by the officers of the State Alliance
to turn it over to the third party.
Indeed the County Alliance does not
exist in Accomac today, in the main,
because of the efforts made through
the State Alliance to disrupt the
Democratic party in Virginia. Major
Page should have said, perhaps,
that he declined to be
the candidate of the third party be-
cause the State Alliance was not
strong enough as political organi-
cation to elect him.

Fred Douglass has New Scheme.

Frederick Douglass, it is reported,
has organized a company for the
purpose of establishinga large manu-
featuring enterprise near Newport
News, building town and giving
employment to young negro men and
women. The Buffalo Express thus
comments on the scheme: 'That is a
good, practical way of elevating the
negro race and helping along the
new South at the same time. Proba-
bly, the one thing which the great
mass of negroes most need to be
taught is to work. Under the slave
system they were taught to avoid
work. Their livelihood depended on
the good will of their masters, not on
their own eXertionS. !"
