have been doing all could for the last
nine years to get change made in our
financial laws, but there was a lot of
people who would not believe that
money could be taken out or put In a
mans pocket by law. But some of
them, thank God, have found it out at
last and they are now in the Coxey
movement. If we had elected Waiver
and a majority of the Senate and Con
gross, as they have, and thugs were
being done as the old parties are doing,
I would think it the duty of every
reformer and for one would at once
start for Washington; but the
other fellows are responsible for the
whole thing and don't seem to under
stand any other way to fix it, neither
leaders or rank and file. 1 do hope
they will keep at it until they get it
changed, and if they take our plan
they can then fix it as it ought to be.

EDITORIAL SUGGESTIONS.

Good times have not yet come and
never will permanently come until the
United States Government gives some
Encouragement to agriculture.
Raw bone -four and potash-muriate
Of potash, is said to be the best and
cheapest fertilizer for grape vines and
tul: trees Of all kinds.
The raising and saving of fruit by
drying Or canning, should be an i'm
prtant item On every farm. Fruit is
healthy, and, at the same time, a cheap
luxury.
We believe il brilliant future for
We American Republic. There are
parrots enough in this country to save
%fom the grasp Of greed and from
Uea8on2ble designe.
It's an age Of greed. Do not forget

it could be accomplished, but it is i'm
possible to do it in any of the western

LOVELY WOMAN.

An editor On being asked if he ever
saw a baldheaded woman replied in
the following vein: ''No, we never
did. Nor did we ever see a woman
waltzing around town in her shirt
sleeves with a cigar between her teeth
and run into every saloon she saw. We
have never seen a woman go fishing
with bottle in her pocket, sit on the
damp ground all day and go home
drunk at night. Nor have we seen a
woman yank off her coat and say she
could lick any man in town. No, God
bless her, she isn't that way. ."-Anleri-

If We would keep up the Wig r and
fecundity of our focks Of poultry we
must infuse new blood into them In,
breeding is very good for every one to
limited extent, but inbreeding is
more for the fancier than for the prac-
tical poulterer. Inbreeding produces
fine exhibition birds, where feathers,
siz8 and shape are nearly all alike
almost perfect from the judges point
of view. AS a rule these true to a
feather birds show wonderful amount
of stupidity and lack of vitality at the
exhibitions. They are generally slow
to move, SLOW to lay and slow to de-
veIOp.

What about chestnut culture9 Sup
pose there is some idle land on our
farm,shited to the growth of this crop.
It you should plant it to improved
varieties of chestnuts, the chances are
that IN ten years it would pay nearly
as well as an apple orchard. Left un-
touched, theland would only depreciate
in value.

English farming is changing fast
from grain growing to grazing meadow.
This is owing to the low prices of all
kinds of grain, and especially of wheat.
Each successive year a smaller acreage
is put in wheat, and even with full
crop per acre there is a continued in
crease in the demand for foreign wheat
for bread. In 1873 the wheat acreage
was $780, 600. Last year this was only
1852, 900 acres, and the present crop
shows further reduction. There has
also been a decrease in land soWn to
other grains Bailey has decreased
300, 900 acres in twenty years, beans
$40, 900 and peas 1O8. GEO acres. There
is an increase in the acreage sown to
oats, the increasing population of the
island requiring a larger part of it's
land to support the horses for draught
and the COWS for giving milk. The
acreage Of permanent pasture shows a
very large increase. It looks, to use a
slang phrase, as if English farming
was 'going to grass" at a most un-
healthy rate.

Get out OF the old ruts. More than
two thirds of the farmers in this col1n
try ought to change their methods at
once Oid-style farming may do fairly
well if properly done, bat many farms
are titled year after year, the land
allowed to wash away and no attempts
made at systematic rotation of crops.

NOTE THE DIFFERENCE.

There is just about as much differ
ence between the Wilson bill and the
Mckinley bill as there is between
Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Har
rison; and there is as much difference
bet aeen these two as there is between
two pieces of limburg cheese cut off
the same hunk. k.-C Commonwealth.
