NATURAL VALUES.

What are natural values? They are
those which are not influenced by unnat-
ural causes. such as legislation, artificial
markets, corners, crises, and others.
The natural value of an article is determ-
ined by the relation OF supply to demand,
during ordinary times and under ordinary
conditions, together with the amount of
force, both of capital and labor, required
to produce it. When by legislation re-
striction of competition is secured, the
value rises above the natural, the same
as it does when one gets a corner on
wheat, for instance. When an artificial
market is created an unnatural stimulus
is given to production, and as result the
value falls below the natural.
AS result OF restricting the COMPETE
tition, an unnatural value, as we'll as an
unnatural cost, has been placed upon
manufactured articles, and, paradoxical
as it may seem, the unnatural market
produced by this restriction has resulted
in such a competition among those pro-
ducing at the unnatural cost, that trade
is unremunerative and stagnant because
of production. Political economists
claim there is no such thing as over-pro-
duction, but that it is under-consumption
but when there is not only an unnatural
but restricted market, the consumption
in this market being limited, the surplus
cannot be made available in other mar
kets owing to its unnatural cost.
In the senate there will be an effort
made to push through an amendment to
the repeal bill similar to that outlined by
Faulkner, providing for the coinage of
100000 month until $SO0,OOO,OOO OF
silver shall be put in circulation. This
will only be modification of the artificial
market now in existence, with the re-
deeming feature that it prescribes time
when this market shall cease.
If it were possible, without taking too
much time, to pass law in place OF the
purchasing clause which would restore
silver to it's natural channel and value,
we'll and good. But if it cannot be done
speedily, then do away with the artificial
market produced and repeal the purchas-
ing clause, without conditions, and leave
the formulation of a proper law to the
regular session. The Democratic party
is great enough and true enough to give a
currency based upon natural values.

STATE ROADS CONVENTION.

There is going on in the newspapers a
discussion regarding State Roads Con-

into the discussion, but as showing what
other states are doing, and as giving some
suggestions to think about, we print the
results of the California convention held
in Sacramento last week. 1t resolved on
this scheme Of policy:
First-The bond issue question is to be
left to the counties.
Second-Road sprinkling is declared
essential to good road maintenance.
Third-Width of tires should be regu

Fifth-The contract system is favored
for tie construction and maintenance Of

Seventh-That county II INK line roads
should be at the general cost of the
county, but the districts should remain
for the purpose of feeder, or lateral, line
administration.

WHO DID IT?

Some one has changed word in the
enrolled bill which virtually defeats the
object of the state board OF equalization.
The purpose of the change is not clear.
1t has been suggested that it was done to
enable counties that go desired to place a
high assessment upon railroads. 1t is
more probable that it was done to enable
the railroads to resist payment of taxes
on account of unequal assessment, or to
tender payment on the basis of the low
est assessment they can secure in any
one county. What is needed is state
board OF railroad commissioners, who
shall make one, equable assessment for
the entire state. Such occurrences are
getting too common, and the author, il
discovered, should be severely punished.
A few years ago similar action defeated
a constitutional amendment in Iowa, and
caused no end of litigation.

WHY NOT AT ABERDEENe

The South Bend Journal says: "The
curing and picking of salmon on the bay
promises to surpass the canning business
in few years. BENZ. Jones has received
an order for a car load of sailed salmon
from Waupaca, Wis, and already has the
amount ready for shipment. As soon as
the barrels come and the salmon are
packed in them they will be shipped.
The Korkan Bros. are supplying the fish
and Mr.. Jones superintends the picking
process.
"Salmon cut into long strips and dried
or smoked has long been considered a
delicacy by the fishermen, and by all
others who have tried it. 1t, however,
has never been advertised or the sale of
it pushed as it deserved. Mr.. G. A. An
dreen, of Bay Center, intends in two
weeks to make thorough canvas OF
Eastern Washington with superior quail
ity of dried salmon cured by secret
sugar-curing process, Of which secret
S. M. Shipley of Bay Center is the owner.
Mr.. Andreen's experience, thus far, with
this new article of diet is that it almost
sells itself, and he anticipates little diff
Guilty in building up good trade in it. !"
The Tillamook Headlight also has the
following on the same subject: Another
industry is springing up in Tillamook.
Cohn & Co. Of this city are buying sal
mon and sailing them enough for ship
ment to Portland on the Augusta. At
present they have three boats engaged in
fishing and have made one shipment al
ready. The fish will be pached in boxes,
and on its arrival in Portland will be
dried or smoked and put in shape for
market. At Bay City Mr.. Provost is
engaged in the same business and has
several boats out every night. These
enterprises deserve to be encouraged"

UNLIMITED COINAGE ON A
GOLD BASIS.

Congressman Meiklejohn, of Nebraska,
has introduced a coinage measure into
the house which provides for the coinage
of all silver bullion offered, upon the
payment by the owner of a seigniorage
for the coinage OF the bullion into silver
dollars; this seigniorage to be the differ
ence between the market value of the
bullion and it's coin value. Thus if a
miner brings 100 ounces of pure silver to
the mint, and the market value of bullion
is seventy-fve cents, he will receive sew
enty-five silver dollars, the other twenty
five ounces going into the "silver seign-
forage" fund. When the market value
of bullion is equal to the coin value, the
bullion in this fund shall be coined, as
veil as all other bullion in the treasury
not covered by certificates.
This measure is the most practical So
luton of the question yet offered. 1t is
unlimited coinage of silver, but upon a
gold basis, and ought to satisfy all reason
able silvermen, and at the came time
give us bi-metalism such as no gold-bug
could find fault with. The artificial mar
ket having been done away with by the
repeal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act, there is no danger that the
silver coinage will over-balance the gold
coinage. The stimulant having been dis
pensed with, coinage will resume is, nat

Sowing Seed Too Deep.

Farmers lose large amount Of seed
by covering too deeply, which is money
thrown away, says writer in the Prac-
teal Farmer. Red top, tall oat, orchard,
meadow, Italian rye, millet grass and
red clover should not be covered more
than 4 an inch to secure the largest
per cent. of growth. OF the above
grasses, all except red clover, if COW
cred from q to N inches, only one
half of the seed will grow. OF red
clover, If covered from u to "a inches,
only the same amount will grow. Tim
othy and blue grass should be covered
only Il inch for the greatest per cent,
to grow; if covered q to 1 inch only
one-half will grow. The above shows
the Importance of having a fine, level
seed bed to SOW on. There are 900, 00O
seeds in two quarts of medium red
clover, which would give over twenty.
two plants to the square foot, more than
twice as many as will grow on it Last
spring we used only two quarts per
acre and never had better stand
After sowing we go over with light
smoothing harrow.

FOR STOCK BREEDERS.
Tho First Requisite Is to Know Precisely
What You Want.

What You Want.
In breeding each animal stands not as
an individual, but as the representative
of long line of ancestors, each exert
ing some influence in generation. IL
these ancestors are all substantially
alike in the qualities sought to be re-
produced, or better still, if the qualities
show an increasing development from
generation to generation the animal
will almost certainly prove very pre-
potent in transmitting these qualities.
On the other hand, if the ancestry is a
mixed lot-good, bad and indifferent
of diverse and inconsistent attributes,
no matter now perfect the animal itself
may be, it is for breeding purposes a
scrub.
In breeding, then, the first requisite
is to know precisely what you want.
In cattle whether milk or butter or
beef, or all in somewhat less degree; in
horses, speed or style or strength; in
sheep, wool or mutton or both. 1t is
essential also to know something of the
various improved breeds, their charac-
teristics and their tendencies, their
strength and their weakness. Then
select as your foundation stock, or if 1t
is proposed to breed up from nature,
cows, or common mares, select as the
head of your herd an animal in which
the qualities you seek are race charac-
teristics, or at least strong family traits.
Afford the offspring every opportunity
to full development, retaining only for
breeding purposes those which do de-
velop in the line desired, and success Is
as certain as anything human can be.
1t ought to be as easy to predict with
accuracy the quantity and quality Of
milk an unborn calf will give when it
becomes COW as to know the color it
will have and the general form it will
attain. That it is not possible to do
so is an evidence that our stock, even
the best, is not bred up to its full capac-
ity for milk, nor so well bred in this
respect as for the more obvious traits Of
form and color.
Breed, then, so that you will be able
to predict the result, Do not be misled
by individual excellence. Individual ex-
cellence Is of course the end to be at
tanned. But let your breeding be such
that you can repeat it at will, and not
as mere chance. In this view remem-
Der that an animal from u breeders
standpoint represents it's entire ances-
Try rolled into one. If that ancestry is
of uniform, or increasing, excellence
in certain definite lines, the breeding
qualities of the animal will, almost
certainly, be true and satisfactory. il
the ancestry is of heterogeneous and di-
verse character, no matter how pleas.
ing the animal itself may be, 1t is for
breeding purposes, except to couple
with one of stronger breeding, scrub
and it will prove in the end delusion
and snare.-J. McLain Smith, in Farm
and Home.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

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 providing racks for the sheep be
sure to arrange so that each will have a
place to eat.
By selecting out the breeding ami
mails early and feeding for this especial
purpose better quality of animals
may be secured.
In many eases the farmer that can
only keep few sheep will find the
mutton breeds the most profitable as
they require the care the farmer can
best give to secure the best results.

There can be no doubt that the "Worlds

Leland, (of the noted Leland family of hotel
keepers) is one of the reliable exposition
hotels in Chicago. The appointments are
perfect, the location unequaled, and, in
view of the fact that the building is
absolutely fireproof, the rates - 50 per
day for each person, two persons in a
room--are remarkably liberal. Scores Of
hotels erected in the Worlds Fair terri
tory are veritable firetraps. The "World's
Inn, ON the other hand affords security to
life and property. The location, directly OPP
posite the Fair grounds, and in close prox-
unity to steam and street cars, adds to its
attractiveness. Although it contains 800
commodious rooms, it is only three stories
high, an advantage that will be appreciated

cents pei barrel of TO- pounds in New
Orleans Results have shown that a
mule fed at night with given quantity
of rough rice and rice bran, mixed with
an adequate supply of corn in the ear
in the same trough, has entirely con-
sumed the rough rice ard the rice bran
all the time. and whenever any feed
was left it was always the corn. The
actual cost of rice pound for pound was
less than oats, while it has much
higher nutritive vaiuA

Interesting Conclusions Reached by Prof.
Shaw, of Canada.
In relation to feeding pigs, Prof
Shaw, of Canada, draws the following
conclusions:
l. That while GAY pigs fed for 1913 days
on a suitable meal ration and housed in
summer increase in weight at rate of
"a per cent, (b) pigs fed on two-thirds
the quantity of the same meal ration,
the balance of the food being made up
of green fodder cut and mixed with the
meal, increase at a rate of 80 per cent,
and (c) pigs fed on one-third the guam
tity of the same meal ration, the bal
ance of the food being made up of green
fodder cut and mixed with the meal, in
crease at a rate of only 1887 per cent,
the labor of feeding being also relative
ly greater where green fodder is given.
2. That when the price of food and
pork are the same as in this expert
ment, the gain from feeding pigs, rs in
group 1, for 1873 days in summer will be
, but 4.56 per cent. on the first cost Of the
animals, as in group2 but 2.7l per cent,
and when fed in group the loss will
be % per cent.
3. That in pork-making the questions
of market values and of the best season
to market are of great practical impor-
lance.
4. Farmers should study to avoid
marketing their pork in the months of
October and November, when prices
are usually lower than at any other
season of the year.
5. That ration of which the major
portion consists of green food, as in the
case of that fed to the pigs in group 3,
will fail to bring them into marketable
condition.
6. That of the ration given to the
pigs in the three groups in this expert
ment, the meal ration fed to those in
group has proven in every way the
most satisfactory; hence,
Z. If feeding bulky fodder along
With meal to pigs is any aid to diges-
ton it must be given in a less proper
ton than that used in feeding the pigs
in group in this experiment.
