CARRYING ON THE WAR.

Now it is certain that the silver men
will carry the wal into Africa.
a small army OF representative men
has been chosen to peal the silver ban
ner of Montana to the meeting Of the
hi metallic League at Chicago, and
thence to Washington. They are but a
fraction of the tidal wave of silver rep
%resentatives that will sweep eastward
from the mountains towards the end of
this month, but it is certain that they
will be among the most ardent aud de-
termined.
The citadel of the gold bugs is in dan
ger. 1t is built upon the quicksands of
seltishness and greed, and it cannot
stand a moment after the conscience
and convictions of the people are fully
aroused. 4 limit to human endurance
has been reached, the people are up in
arms against their oppressors, and there
can be no doubt as to the outcome, the
citadel of greed and seltishness must be
demolished.
No western man will regret the re-
peal Cf the Sherman act, but things
have now gone SO far that a complete re-
form Of the financial system of the re-
public is demanded. 1t is, moreover,
absolutely imperative. Instead Of nine
different kinds of money such as are
now in circulation there should not be
more than three k~inds-gold, silver, and
notes-based jointly on these metals.
Silver must be made by law a fixed unit
of value and ultimate money of the re-
public, and if possible it should be done
by a law that cannot be repesled at any
luture time except by a two-thirds vote
of the people. 1t should therefore be
made an amendment to the constitution.
There is, of course, a possibility that
the gold bugs will muster sufficient
strength at the extra session to prevent
anything final or conclusive being done.
The present state of affairs is bringing
fish to their net every moment and they
want it to last as long as possible unless
they a get a permanent cinch on the
world by forcing the United States 10
adopt a gold basis and to discard silver
altogether. But even if they succeed in
delaying action until the regular sps,lo
of congress, it is dollars to doughuuts
that they will be downed before the
winter is over, and that next spring will
lind silver somewhere near its proper
price.

CITY ATTORNEY LARGENT denies that
be advised the city council to order the
tearing W of the street car track on
First avenue north, but claims that on
legal grounds there Is no doubt in his
mind that the action is justified and
proper. SO far as Judge Bucks i%njunc-
ton is concerned Mr.. Largent says that
it cannot possibly cut any figure, as the
constitution Of the state expressly pro-
vides that all actions for the recovery or
possession of real property shall be begun
in the county in which sue, property is
located. lie contends that the right Of
way Of the street car company is not
personal but real property, and therefore
Judge Buck has no jurisdiction
in this matter. On the other
hand there is a pretty general feeling
that there was no Just cause to precipi-
tate trouble on account Of this road Just
now. THE TRWu&E has believed. and
still believes that it would have been
batter policy to have waited dntil the
money situation improved, and then to
have insisted On the completion Of the

Geese.

Geese are altogether different fro1n
ordinary fowls or even ducks, in one re-
spect, and a mistake is sometimes made
in the final fattening off, by putting
each bird into Il separate compartment.
Geese never thrive in this way, and i'll
stead of getting fatter actually pine
away. They appear to be miserable
without company, and each lot should
be killed together, or the one left be-
hind rapidly loses flesh.
Some birds fatten quicker than 9th
ers, and as they are seen to get into
ripe condition, which can best be de-
cided by the state of their %appetites,
they had better be killed off. AS o
as they are as fat as they will get, the
desire for food begins to slacken, and
then it is that they should be dis
patched, or they will lose flesh instead
Of gaining it.
We have known goslings to feed up to
fifteen or eighteen pounds in weight,
but these have been exceptional, and
a dozen pounds is nearer the mark, so
that all must not be expected to turn
out the same. To go feeding in the ex-
pectation of increasing the weight after
the fowl has shown the symptoms al
ready mentioned would be found a
losing game.-English Fanciers' Ca
Zette.

he saved up his pennies, and when he

or ten days up to August 1, the first
year, and five OF six times a year after
wards. The first year he pinches of
the ends Of the cap shoots when twelve

which are then thrown out produce the
fruit, and should not be touched until
the following spring after growth be-
gins; then cut back to eighteen inches
from the stem. The second year pinch
off the young when about two
feet high and after fruiting trim out
and burn old wood. The Reds II only
pinched back when they grow too tall,
but are cut back in the spring to three

How to Make the Most OF a Farm.
In driving through the country in
summer or autumn, one can but notice
the striking difference in the pro-
ductiveness Of farms along the way.
Although they may join. and acre
match acre, the greatest contrast can
but be observed. The difference is not
so much in the farms, as in the farmers.
One farms carefully and makes his
farm pay-the other does not, and is
continually running behind.
"Head-work often saves .hand-work."
The difference between farmer
thrifty and farmer behind-hand' is
nine times out Of ten in head work.
Carefully laid plans seldom fail; hap
hazard plans seldom succeed.
A good farmer, one who looks well
to the interest of his pocketbook. and
also to the welfare and health OF his
family, will not neglect to have a good
garden. 1t is acknowledged by all ex-
the most profitable portion Of the farm,
according to the expense it takes to
care for it. Yet there is no part Of the
farm O neglected by most farmers
in the country; and by this neglect they
lose in good health and comfort. The
time it would take to care for a garden
is often wasted in running to the store
for articles that might not have been
needed had there been Il garden to go
to instead.
One-half acre of ground Of ground, if
we'll cared for, would supply a large
family with a great portion Of their
living from spring till winter, OF till
spring again. Instead Of being confined
to heating meats, stale bread and old
uotatoes in the winter and spring
months we now have a refreshing vari-
ETY. of good wholesome vegetables,
fruits, salads, tc. In no other way can
we have so great a variety at SO little
expense. The garden should not be
confined to common vegetables alone,
but to all choice varieties should be
procured that can be grown in the eli
mate. Purity Of seed is a matter Of the
greatest Importance.
Do not forget to devote a portion of
your time to recreation and eself-im-
prOvement by the reading and study Of
agricultural books and papers. You
will thereby gain vigor and energy; and
if you work at your calling with en-
lightened views-looking at the scien-
tiic side while attending to the practi-
cal labor, you will acquire a strong in
terest in it, and love for it, that will
insure success.
Always plan your work ahead..By so
doing you will drive your work and not
let that drive you. The successful
farmer takes advantage of all times
and opportunities, and knows no season
but the best, viz: now.
I will venture to say that if you will
carefully follow the advice I have given
and use more head-work you will soon
well satisfied with the result, and will
be willing to admit that you have
learned how to make the most of your
farm. 81. >--.%. ~-s

Spring Handling; of Sheen.

A writer for the Ohio Farmer, says
turning sheep to pasture in the spring is
an instance where the old adage applies:
1T is best to make haste slowly" Wait
until the ground is somewhat settled
and dry When the ground is very soft
on light sods and meadows, sheep will
tramp out more grass in a day than
they could later eat out in several.
Sheep being lighter do not indeed,
poach the ground as do cattle, but their
feet are small and sharp and they are
more rowing in their nature so that
they do great damage to young grass.
They also injure clover greatly by pull
ing it out. The writer quoted above
says: 49,
For the first few days they should be
allowed upon the pastures an hour a
day. If left out long enough to allow
them to gorge themselves with the
young juicy grass, they make their
sheds filthy when returning to them.
and to make the transfer from shed
and yard to the pasture at once is very
deleterious. There will be a loss to
flesh and condition for the first few
weeks. F.s r. .5.
Fattening sheep, unless they are to be
kept on into the early summer, will do
better not to leave their winter quart
ers for the fresh, washy grass. In the
season sheep will make no gain from
grass during the month of April. Bet
ter shear the first warm days in April
and send to market. I say shear. 1t

owe clipped sheep to justify feeders in
shipping we'll wooded sheep in fleece.
With ewes sucking lambs equal Gale
needs to be taken. Young grass will
increase the flow of milk but will
weaken it in quality and the lambs will
suffer. The best direction than can be
given is to make the splice as long as
possible. Where the hocks cannot be
returned to the sheds each evening for
a feed of hay some provision should be
made to feed them in their pasture.
For the grain feed at this time corn
and oats are better adapted than bran
and oil meal, for the laxative grass
needs a complement of counter tend
ency
For those who plan to have their
lambs dropped in April it will be the
most trying. The cold showers of that
month that often come up so unexpect-
edly when the flock is out and the
hockmaster busy with other spring
work are most damaging. "A young
lamb. can endure intense cold if kept
dry and out Of currents Of air, but it
will quickly perish in Il cold rain. With
this consideration as one reason, I
think, it much easier to raise lambs in
February and March than in April. I
am then able to be with ewes more,
noting the characteristics Of each as to
her breeding, and this is Indispensable
in grading up a flock. We must strive
to make every sheep a profitable one.
