FINANCIAL REFORM.

The general panicky situation OF the
country is sharp reminder that the
basic problems of finance and the money
question are yet to be solved. At
present the whole civilized world looks
to money of intrinsic value as the
basis OF an enormous load of credits.
Yet the credit system and the worlds
wealth and commerce have increased
many fold faster than the two metals
on which alone the entire superstruc-
ture of credit rests.
The desire of the bi-metallists to re
store silver to its former place as free
coin is through sincere purpose to
widen the foundation on which credit
rests. The only reasonable doubt as to
the SUCCESS OF their pr oposal is based on
the low coinage ratio between silver
and gold, .511 to 1, compared with the
market ratio of about toll. II the
world would agree to any reasonable
ratio ranging from 10 to /, to 20 TO |,
that ratio would easily be main tain G. i.
Ihe silver ratio has swung from II to
to 20 to in the last $500 years, and in
Japan within the century it was TO l.
Recent gold discoveries are liable to
swing The ratio back to 1G to l within
the next ten years. In that view silver
men would be wise to postpone free
coinage rather than agree to change
of ratio TO 20 to /.
But even admitting the value which
gold and silver have been to the world
as q medium for exchanges, banking
credits have been, during the last fou
centuries, even greater. To-day over
nine. tenths of the worlds commerce is
done on credit, balances alone being
settled in cash, especially in the larger
fields OF International commerce. No
longer does New York merchant paw
for his London purchases in cash He
buys credit at London bank through
its Now York correspondent and trans
fers that credit TO his purchaser.
From this standpoint it is OF far less
consequence that the money supply be
increased than that The supply of credit
should not fail so long as proper security
can BIO offered But with the with.
drawal OF confidence comes an enormous
contraction OF credit. A merchant NAV
be worth $4,000 in good sound asse is
and yet be unable to borrow IS, 900 on
those assets because they cannot be
readily realized upon.
1t is here that relief is needed and
the skill Of the doctors OF finance should
be exercised to the highest bent
Theoretically, everything which has
. market value should be an available
asset for obtaining credit, but so long as
the volume of currency to large extent
governs the volume Of credit, the theory
is impTa cticable of opsMSaon
The discovery of a mountain of solid
gold would probably create world wide
business revulsion, and cause sus.
pension of gold coinage the world over.
For if gold were to become as common
and plentiful as silver, every debt now
payable in gold would shrink to per
centSof it's present value, every con
tract of considerable amount at fxe]
prices would bankrupt one party on
the other, and the wages OF labor

Onions on Meadow Land.


.. j. Fl. Gregory, one of Massachu-
setts' progressive farmers, gives some
points on growing onions on meadow or
muck soil, gained from his own large ex-
perience, in The Country Gentleman.
He says: Success on such lands turns
on attention to two important matters
one in the line of drainage, never to al
low the land to get either too wet or too
dry. This is accomplished by having
control of the water up to within about
81 feet of the surface. If allowed to
rise higher than this, the soil becomes
too wet. II allowed to fall below this,
then it is too dry for the crop.
'"The other condition on which success
depends is on heavy application of
gritty soil to the surface, at the rate of
from 100 to 200 horse loads per acre.
This needs to be kept near the surface,
and must not, therefore, be plowed I'M
der to any depth, the harrow and cult
vator being most relied upon. Barnyard
or any bulky manure is not the best for
such meadows, as they already contain
a surplus of hu1nus, and much Of the nj
trogen needed for the crop will be set
free by cultivation. Dissolved bone and
unleached ashes are the best fertilizers
for them. The caustic potash IN the
ashes will unlock the food that centuries
have been storing in such soil"

The Morning Mash

The editor Of Farm Poultry feeds his
laying fowls five mornings in the week a
mash containing great variety of food
elements, an important factor when feed
ing for eggs. This mash is made up of
about third cooked vegetables, mashed
fine, or cut clover, cooked by being
brought to a boiling heat in water, an
equal amount Of boiling water added, a
heaping teaspoonful of salt to a bucket
full; heaping teaspoonful of Sheridan's
condition powder two days, then cayenne
one day, condition powder two days,
then powdered charcoal one, and into this
is stirred mixed meal until the mash is
as stiff as a strong arm can make it.
The mixed meal alluded to consists of
one part each cornmeal, find middlings,
bran, ground oats and animal meal.
When he has fresh bones in abundance
he omits the animal meal from the mix
ture.
This morning mash is prepared the
afternoon of the day before feeding,
when it is covered and set away to cook
in its own heat. 1t is fed in troughs
large enough SO that fifteen fowls in
pen can get about it at one time; another
important factor, because if the trough
is small some of the birds have to stand
back and wait for second table, and when
their chance does come there's nothing
left for them With trough four feet
long by six inches wide there is plenty of
room, and if biddy is driven away from
one place she runs around and goes to
eating at another, and thus all get a
share. The authority quoted considers
whole wheat the best grain food for
eggs, whole barley next and buckwheat
next He makes barley or buckwheat
the noon food five days in the week and
wheat the night food five or six days in
the week
