narrow minded as to forget that other
denominations had rights that all were
bound to respect. His great aim for the
past few years, as expressed to the
writer, was to see the debt removed and
the elegant structure built under his
supervision consecrated. For this he
labored hard, and when the goal was
nearly reached, sickness and death came.
The funeral will take place on Friday at
10 o'clock q. m. The remains will prob
ably be buried Beside the church.

Kelly Says

The silver dollar Is as good as gold.
Uncle Sam says when put my initials on
a silver dollar it Is as gond as gold, no
matter where you go, and KELLY says
here is the proof. A few weeks ago
went into a Brokers Office in this city and
l put down 25 silver Dollars on his desk,
and told him l wanted to send II to my
father in the Old Country, and 1 asked
him how much they Would be worth when
they got there, and he said they would be
worth 5 sovereigns or SOS. 90 in gold; hs
told me the truth, because this morning l
received letter stating that l got your
draft which received gold sovereigns
for this morning. thanks, etc.
This knocks the foundation from under
that argument that 8 silver dollar Is worth
only SO Ger ts.
One other reason that every banker and
broker and money loaner in the land
wants the United States to stop making
silver dollars in order to increase their
rates of interest Another reason why we
should coin silver dollars is that It Lakes

that this is a very important r~ason now
where the individual, the private cor

WEST HAVEN BAKERY DESTROYED
Fire Caused BY the Overturning of a
Grease Kettle

New HAVEN, Aug AT l O'Clock
this. morning the bakery of A. B
Brown, the baker in West Haven, was
totally destroyed by fire. The fire
originated in the bakery by the over
turning of a grease kettle and spread
with great rapidity. In few moments
the entire structure was in flames, and
the fire was fiercely burning on the arri-
val of the fire department. As soon as
the firemen reached the scene they di
verred their efforts to saving the sur
rounding buildings. In this they were
successful but the shop and it's contents
were destroyed. The loss will be about
$40, 900, with very little insurance.

At one-third the regular prices. We
know it is wearisome, and oftimes dis
appointment to read some advertisements,
owing to the misrepresentation of the
advertiser. We also know that no word
in the English language is so misused as
'BARGAINS.' Anything offered is so
christened. Our patrons know that We
always state Just what we have and never
mis-represent. When we say bargains we
mean all that the word m?lies.
Have always been popular trade events,
but this seasons attractions have entirely
e,lipsed all other at 'empts, even by ne.
Our stock o6 Ladies' Suits and Shirt
Waists is quite large, and we have put q
price on them that will sell them readily
To quote on all the different lots would be
an impossibility.

without due regard to actual wants; in
Ginning to waste and extravaganza; an
artificial demand raises prices which leads
to increased production and this not in
frequently brings about accumulated
stocks of goods and products until the
necessity comes to clean out these, when
behold tumble in prices takes place; a
greater or lesser disturbance naturally
is created and the summary of it all is,
we get back to justabout where we stood
time before, some men a little wiser
for the lesson, while the great body of
men charge it to some imaginary cause,
accidental or otherwise. Good farming
escapes with but little, if any, loss.

The California Organization.

The California orange growers have
finally organized for business, and we
predict that the Californians, unlike the
Floridians, will stick together and the
organization prove a success. We re-
publish below the rules of the organ
ization for the information and guidance
of our fruit growers.
1. Each local association and packer
holding relation to and connected with
the Riverside Fruit Exchange, shall be
known as Branch thereof, and be des.
ignated by simple name. The term
branch in these rules shall be under
stood to apply to any association, cor
poration, company or individualengaged
in handling fruit under the control of
this Exchange, in lots of not less than
one hundred car loads.
2. The several Branches shall occupv
the relationship of agents for receiving
and packing fruit under the control and
direction of the Riverside Fruit Ex-
change; and, before entering into such
relationship, shall by Themselves, man
ager or proper officer, sign an agreement
to conform to and be governed by the
bylaws and rules of the said Exchange:
and that they have not already made,
and will not hereafter make, any ar
rangement, agreement, bargain, con-
tract or understanding of any kind what.
ever to procure special orders for the
brand of fruit they represent.
3. No Branch shall handle fruit grown
outside the Riverside District, or that is
not under the control of this Exchange;
and no manager, packer, member or
employe of any firm connected with this
Exchange shall pack ship or sell oranges
not under and subject to the rules of
this Exchange.
4. No Branch shall print, issue, circu-
late or cause to be circulated, any card.
circular or other document making rep

under its management, either as to
quality, price, terms or conditions. ex.

slow to promise any future payments at
given dates; farm cropping will hardly
justify it.
If farming ever paid any gain at all
why should it not now? Doesit coet any
more at this time to grow dairy products,
or corn, or meats, or tobacco, or live an
imals than it did twenty, or forty, Or
sixty years ago? Is not land as cheap as
cheap can be? Thousands and thousands
of acres can be bought for ten dollars per
acre, on yearly instalment of one dol
lar per acre. Land is almost the cheap
est thing connected with farming. Is
land less productive than formerly? I
can remember The county of my nativity
fifty years back and it's production at
present. is larger per acre than it was fifty
years ago.
Labor is dearer; but in so far as the
farmers do their own work and to what
soever extent they can bring farm
machinery to aid them; the matter of
labor being dearer has no practical bear
ing upon the case.
Good farming admits of no waste; it
admits of no loss of time that could be
utilized it admits of no such thing as
selling tomatoes or peas or beans at fif-
teen cents per crate and then buying to-
matoes and peas or beans at fifteen cents
per can it admits of no such thing as
selling oranges at twenty five cents per
box including package and gathering
and buying orange preserves at twenty
five cents per pound. Good farming
looks closer into home wants and de-
cides to first supply this wants as far as is
at all practical.
1t will pay to ship oranges to Northern
markets when the price on those markets
is two dollars per box; but it will not
pay to ship the same with price of only
$3.50.
1t will pay to grow wheat in the north
west and ship the same to the Sea board
markets when wheat brings seventy-five
cents per bushel at those markets; but
not when wheat could be bought there
for sixty cents per bushel.
Good farming may even now and then
find such condition of things that it is
forced to part with it's products at rate
below cost of production but this only
occurs at very rare intervals, and under
conditions altogether unforeseen; nor in
any sense ought more likely to occur in
bad times-as they are called-than in
times of general business activity. Other
causes are at work all the time and are
constantly exercising their special ipfu-
ences, even though we may quite over
look the same.
An increased amount of currency tends
directly to set in motion spirit of spec
ulation, and with this comes state of
business activity unwiseIy stimulated,
and buying and selling are carried along
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-09-20

plies; nowhere else such thorough going
industry and prudence, and it is to these
three qualities combined that we can
trace their thrift.
Let us take two farmers, who are by
no means difficult to find, one who pur-
chases fertilizers annually to the amount
of one hundred dollars and the other
who makes up a compost heap of fifty
tons of rich fertilizing matter from off
his premises wholly. Presuming that
bad seasons for production will come
occasionally, or devastating storms, and
supposing that such season comes to
these farmers now under our view, which
of the two suffers the most? And
especially, if the one who purchased his
fertilizer had done so on credit, with
purpose to pay from the proceeds OF his
crops. Suppose that I reason to myself
that poultry and eggs, which may cost
me, or would cost if bought the same,
500 per year, cannot be raised or pro-
duced with any profit, that [ can buy
the quantity want as cheaply as I can
produce the same, and therefore I grow
oranges wholly with the view of obtain
ing my required supply of poultry and
eggs from neighbor Smith; but there
comes late frost, or rather a mishap to
the orange crop and have not an orange
to sell, how then will get my poultry
and eggs unless it chance that I have
money laid up from other days.
It may cost the farmers of Florida as
much in time and care to grow their own
bacon. lard, hams, dairy products, cam
ned goods, dried fruits and the like as
to purchase the same, if other crops
which they might prefer to grow brought
reasonable prices, but yet if it should
thus do we still find that we are giving
only time and care for bacon, lard, hams
etc.
And what makes this matter so de-
sirable to us is the fact that at no time
reasonable to presume of, is it at all
likely we cannot raise fair supply of
the majority of these products named.
If as some may intimate, it calls for
time and care and some measure of skill
to do this; what ask are we here for
but to use that time and care and skill
for Just such purpose to obtain our daily
living? And it somehow generally occurs
(not happens) that they who use their
time most diligently and exercise the
proper care and skill come out with some
what more than common living.
1t can hardly be said in truth that
farmers are dismissing their laborers at
the present time, nor are they planning
to lessen their production for the coming
year. In most Of those cases where
farmers are sorely pinched for money it
is because of unbusiness like transac-
tons in regard to promised payments in
the past. A good farmer should be very
