In Steu0en county, New York, they
have, besides the seventeen-year Iocusts,
pest of grasshoppers. The grasshop-
pers appeared in swarms about a week
ago, and have increased in numbers rap

farmers have been compelled to harvest
their oats in a green state, in order to

Charleston is to have a new steamship

Two or three days ago we noted the pro-

and Philadelphia. The volume and i'm
portance of the south's commerce is in
creasing, as the establishment of these
steamship lines proves. With four steam
ship lines from Savannah to the north
and two lines each from Charleston and
Jacksonville to the north, good facilities

The democrats of this state are not ex-
ercising the care they should in making
nominations for the legislature and other
positions of honor and trust. Many of
the nominations that have been made,
and some that have been suggested, are
well calculated to encourage the populist
party. In many instances the nearer a
man is to being nothing, or populist, the
better his chances appear to be for find
ing favor with the democracy.
Senator Teller has been talking politics

show to get it." How does Senator Teller
know that He probably entertained
similar opinion with regard to a third
nomination, and got badly fooled.

It Falls on the Farmsr.

A correspondent of the Evening Post,
writing from Frederick, Md, says
the farmers in that section are very much
depressed. Their money crop is wheat
and their wheat crops this year were ex-
ceptionally good. The low price of wheat
however, leaves them no margin of profit
They attribute their troubles manly to
overproduction. More wheat is produced
than the world wants.
In spite of the gloomy outlook for them,
however, they are firm believers in sound
money. The correspondent says:
Extensive inquiry failed to find a free
SlIverlte, green hacker or pronounced pop
ullst, though there are organizations of
this party near Washington and Haaers-
town. The general opinion was boldly
voiced by young fellow who asked;
what good would free silver do mel |
have no silver mine. What is the use of
more greenbaCks | can get all the money
/ want now when / have anything to get
IL with This would doubtless seem
pitifully poor and spiritless to the high
flown orators in South Carolina and Kan
sas, but this is the answer they would re-
ceive to their wlndbag speeches on finance
II delivered here. 1t is very likely that
these farmers learned a currency lesson
some years ago, in the days of trade dol
lars, when, the value OF that coin being
about % cents, one month the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad and some other cor
porations here paid their employees in
this deprecated coin. AS the farmer is a
fundamental factor in the economic prob
| lem, the loss eventually fell on him, and
he no longer bites at cheap money.
The national democratic platform
states that the farmers and working
men are always the chief sufferers from
cheap money. The history of cheap
money periods shows this to be true.
Not only for the best interest of the
whole people, but particular for the pro-
lection of farmers and workingmen, it is
the policy Of the democratic party that
the purchasing power of every dollar
shall be equal to that of every other dol
lar. A debased currency means troublous
times for farmers and working people
The free coinage of silver at the pres
| ent ratio while the price of silver is be-
low the normal price, wo uld result sooner
or later in debased currency There is
no doubt about that The farmers and
workinCmen, therefore, who are de-
handing free silver coinage are opposing
their own interests. If their demand
should be granted their material condi-
tion would quickly become far worse than
| it is. If they are wise they will insist
! upon sound money

POTASH AND soRREL.

Both lime and potash have been
often recommended to clear land of
sorrel. Both are good, but the rea-
son often given therefor, that the
alkali in potash and the caustic car
bon in lime help to correct the sour
ness of the soil, is not true one.
The sour taste of sorrel is not the re-
suit of sourness in the soil, as il will
grow on land that is sweetened with
lime and potash. The reason why
these minerals clear land of sorrel is
because they make clover grow. Where
clover is thickly seeded and catches
well it crowds out the sorrel. Clover
needs both lime and potash, and
wherever these minerals are plentiful
in available form, sorrel will not be
troublesome. Connecticut Farmer.

SADDLE AND ROAD HORSES.


The roadster, or high grade saddle
horse, is along with Hackney, among
the most profitable to breed and grow,
and that there is an active demand for
them among wealthy class of citizens
in all the great cities of the United
States. The equestrian art is taught
in special schools organized to teach
how to safely ride with grace and ease.
Graduates from these institutions are
everywhere seen on the boulevards
and in the parks of Chicago, New
York, Philadelphia and other metro
politan cities. Horseback riding is
healthful recreation and is highly
recommended by the medical profess
sion and is a luxury indulged in by all
whose means will permit the gratifi-
cation. Any grade of horses that
classes as one of the luxuries of wealth,
like the trotter, ideal road horse,
hackney and carriage horse is certain
to continue n staple article, and the
business of breeding and condition
ing them for market must prove pro-
fitable industry. While it is true that
the price of fine saddle horses has de-
clned in sympathy with all other
grades of horses the best specimens
still command from $500 to $500.
Kentucky and Missouri are the lead
ing states in breeding saddle horses,
although many fine specimens come
from Tennessee. The breeding is
combination of thoroughbred trotting
and pacing blood, the most popular
strains being Denmark, Black Squir-
rel, and Montrose, all noted prize
winners and great sires Of saddle per-
formers. An educated saddle horse
is one who goes the saddle galts-gal-
lop, fox trot, nmble, pace and march,
or what is classified as the park gait,
which is a measured, commanding
walk. To all the gaits must be united
fine individual to comprise the ideal
high-priced saddle horse. To break
and educate the saddler to all the
standard PAGES is necessary to
reach the top prices. Some
saddle horses are also broken to har-
ness, and then grade as combination
horses, although the highest grades
are broken and used exclusively for
pedestrian purposes. Thi, branch of
the livestock interests of the country
could profitably be enlarged, as all
the finer specimens not needed for
home consumption find quick sale for
expectation.

FARM AND GARDEN MOVES.

Poor pasture and too muoi exercise
cut down the profits.
Always keep salt where the cows
can have easy access to it.
What farm stock is worth keeping
is we'll worth keeping we'll.
Many farmers, in feeding, waste
what, if saved, would make a good
profit.
Keep the stock out of low, damp
pastures, at night especially, during
the fall.
When buying a horse for work on
the farm make this a point-that it is
a good walker.
In breeding, the individual merit Of
the sire should be taken into account
as well as long pedigree.
The greater the variety of grasses
in the pasture the better far tho thrift
OF the stock that feeds there.
Give colt plenty of opportunity to
exercise and he will grow faster and
make better horse when matured.
If all farmers cannot have registered
stock they can improve what they have
by good breeding and good care.
Generally good looking horse will
sell well, but with speed, in addition to
good looks he will be more valuable.
Better supply the home marke. full
ly when eggs are cheap, and let high
priced meat find market elsewhere.
Much of success attained In business
life is secured by being posted.
