MAY FIGHT THE TRUST,
Meeting of the Interstate Convention
at Chicago.

CHICAGO, June Representative
of twenty-five State and Territorial
Governments met in Apollo Hall ON
the upper floor of the Central Music
Hall Building and organized conven-
ton of trusts, corners und trade COM
binations of all sorts.
About 100 delegates were in attend
ance when Gov. Knute Nelson of Min
nesota opened the convention.
John sherman of Ohio, the author
of the Sherman antitrust law, was ex-
pected, but word was received that he
would be unable to attend. Promi-
nent in the deliberations of the con-
vention were Gen. James Il. Weaver of
Iowa, the Populist candidate for the
Presidency, and Senator Ig atius
Donnelly of Minnesota, the advocate
of the cipher theory which abolishes
Shakespeare and sets up Lord Bacon
as the bright particular star of the
English drama. Another interesting
parsonage attending the convention is
Representative Ryan, who knocked
down the sergeant-at-arms in Kansas
House of Representatives during the
recent war between the Republicans
and Populists
The outcome of the convention il is
understood will be the formation Of a
National Trust Association, to be fol-
lowed by vigorous campaign against
trusts of all descriptions. A National
Committee is to be torEIed and branches
will be organized in every State.

President Cleveland Sets An Doubts at

WASHINGTON, June Tho Presi-

question by representative of the
Associated press, that he intended to
call an extra session of Congress not
earlier than Sept. | nor later than
Sept. Is, unless unexpected contingent

while there has been no mystery
for secrecy in regard to my intention
in this matter, think it not aaiss
that our people should be informed
authoritatively that the time is at
hand when their representatives in
Congress will be called upon to deal
with financial condition which is the
only menace to the country's welfare
and prosperity. 1t is well for the
people to take up the subject for them
selves and arrive at their own conclu-
sions as to the merits of n financial
policy which obliges us to purchase
idle silver bullion with gold taken
from our reserve. One does not need
the eye of a financier to see that this
gold thus subtracted from the Govern
ment's stock is eagerly seized by other
nations for the purpose of strengthen
ing their credit at our expense.

ultimately bring suffering to every
humble home in our land.
Il think that between now and the
meeting of Congress much depends
upon the action OF those engaged in
financial operations and business en-
terprises. Our vast national resources
and credit are abundantly sufficient 70

confidence. III instead of being fright

stead of gloomily anticipating imme-

share of hope and steadiness, they will
perform q patriotic duty and at the
same time protect their own interest.

stock that one can 90 into winter quar-
ters with. Don't get II into your head
that the only dairy worth having Is the
summer dairy.
Pasture In summer, clover and roots
I'm winter, will improve the health and
yigor of the stock. At ten months Of
age, or butchering time, stock cared for
as about outlined will average 800
pounds.
Grow some carrots among other root
crops They may be put In as late as
July, MS they make the best growth
after the nights become cool. All sorts
of stock relish them and will make
good use OF good big supply.
The credit system In small dealings
has about outlived its usefulness. 1he
farmer who buys and sells for cash will
come out at the end Of the year in
much better shape than the man who
pays his store bill after his crops are
solder worse yet, with his crops.
Calves to be raised ought never to be
fed In such manner as to accumulate
fat. They need food that will form
bone and muscle TO expand their
frames and fit them to take and digest
large quantities Of cheap bulky foods
during their future lives.
Winter feeding Is always an ex-
pensiyc matter. especially II 1t Is not
planned for bctimes. In every crop
that you plant now, consider the cattle
and their needs for the winter. Sue
ccssful farming always demands n
long look ahead.

This will be doing yourself good turn

Turkeys are good farm property if
the stock Is vigorous and the birds
heavy. Some of US breed them so long
without changing the male that they
become delicate and difficult to rear as

and get u pair or trio Of right good
birds this spring, and sell eggs or fan
birds to all your neighbors. There Is
profit in It.
Prof Henry says keep all hogs away
from the farm building on fresh earth
lin the summer time. Iron pipe Is
cheap and water can be carried into
the feed lot at small cost. A small
light building will hold the feed and
can be locked Ii can be placed on the
stone boat, or have runners OF IT'S own.
A little attention when the swine are

information which may be useful at
the present time. The plots Of far-
ley to which one hundred and fifty
pounds per acre Of nitrate of soda was
applied yielded an Increase OF nearly
nine bushels per acre over those which
received no. manure. The addition Of
minerals only increased the yield two
and a half bushels per acre. Malt did
not improve the crop. In every case
where more than 100 pounds OF nitrate
OF soda, or sulphate of ammonia, was
applied, the crop went down more or
less, and 200 pounds per acre caused
the barley to be badly laid. In soils
of fair quality, not too strong, a dress
ing of $50 pounds Of nitrate OF soda
per acre in April has increased the crop
of barley fifteen bushels per acre, be-
sides the increase of straw,
