FARM NOTES.

Grade coach horses are far too scarce to
form a market type; there is an unlimited
demand. but practically no supply.
We are glad to see the poultry and dairy
interest developing all over the land. A
few dozen eggs or few pounds of butter
to sell during the season will help mater
tally towards paying running expenses on
the farm.
Manure is never more valuable than on
the day it is made. 1t is, therefore, much
better to haul it to the fields at every op-
portunity than to have large pile staring
one in the face in the spring, when 50 much
work is hand. So much less goes to
waste, too.
While the we'll treated COW will give only
as much milk during the year when she
calves in the fall when she calves in the
spring, her milk, or it's products, will yield
the most profit, as she is her highest pro-
duction when her products command the
highest price
When wheat and corn are the same price
per bushel, it is preferable to feed wheat
and sell corn: First, because wheat weighs
per cent heavier per bushe than corn;
secondly, because wheat is weight for
weight equally good grain for fattening
animals, and better for growing animals
and, thirdly, because there is much less
value in fertilizing elements removed from
the farm in corn than wheat.
Those who keep young stock alive
through the winter on rough fodder for the
sake of the growth they will make next
summer should be able to see that the sum-
mers growth could be added Just as we'll
and much cheaper II the animals had been
kept growing all winter. You can not
starve a young animal and make it up
afterward. -. -
The extension Of mutton consumption and
the raising of sheep as meat product has
been slow, but at this time most of the
focks east of the Mississippi are bred with
some view as to their mutton qualities
though al the same time breeders have Civ
en- more attention to wool than to mutton
production. The wool yield Of the mutton
breeds has been increased, while little or
no attempt has beeH made to improve their
mutton qualities, as is likely would have
been the case had mutton alone been the
The draft horse is, the foundation of agri-
cultural prosperity as the agricultural horse
OF the world and the work horse of city
and factory. Never before has there been
such opportunities for breeding good draft
horses with an immense demand now upon
us with the starting up of the manufac-
tories and commercial interests; with so
few good horses in the country we will
have to raise them and that takes four or
rve years; who can realize what the price
will be in half that time.
The cattle industry is improving in
strength from the scarcity of the best
grades Of beef for which there is Il more
active foreign demand and steadily inn
proving home demand as the industrial in
terests improve. The vast armies of the u1--
employed in all parts of the country are
now finding employment, and all classes of
people buy meat more literally than for the
past year or two Meanwhile the beef sup
ply has been reduced, and the high price of
corn must improve the price of beef.

THE PEOPLES WRONGS
Judge Lyman Trumbull's Elo-
Quent Address.
A REBUKE OF THE OLD PARTIES.

Doth Are Creatures Of the Moneyed Cor.
porations -Laws That Cypress the Poor.
Radical Changes Needed if the Nation
Is TO Exist-Stirring Appeal by the Ven
cradle Patriot.
The following is tho full speech of the
venerable Judge Lyman Trumbull at the
recent meeting in Chicago:
In addressing you do not do SO with
the expectation of being able to propose
plan for securing to capital and labor the
just rewards of each and to employers and
employees the adjustment Of disputes that
will be satisfactory to both, but rather
with the hope Of making some sugges-
tons that may tend to avert the conflict
between the rights of man and the rights
of property which now threatens the peace
of tho country.
Most of the years of my manhood have
been devoted to the public service, with
what success or failure is for my country
men to judge. Tho record is made up, and
now near the close of life, with no ambi-
tions to crafty and no purpose to serve
other than my countrys good, come be-
foro you briefly to discuss the great prob
lem of the age, how to secure to labor its
just reward and thereby to the masses the
right to live and advance
In this land of plenty, the fairest OF
earth, with soil and climate adapted to
supply the wants of man, under a free and
enlightened government where every man
is supposed to he the architect of his own
fortune and entitled to an equal start in
the world, why is it that feeling of dis

parties in interest, who expect thereby TO /.
eecape personal liability II the concern is q
failure and to pocket the profits II a sue
cess. Business of all sorts Is now. to q
great extent carried on in tho narac of
corporations, in order that the proprietors
may escape personal responsibility. How
can the individual, who is personally re-
sponsible for his contracts, successfully
compete with a corporation run by persons
who incur no such responsibility? Doing
business in corporate name not only
paralyzes individual effort, but leads to a
concentration Of capital, the great evil of
our time. The remedy for this growing
state Of things would be to restrict the for
nation of corporations to such as are
formed for public purposes or such as the
public have on interest in. Seventy eight
per cent of tho great fortunes of the Unit
ed States are said to bc derived from per
mancnt monopoly privileges which ought
never to have been granted.
Should Limit the Power of Devise.
AS before stated, the power to dispose of
property after death by will is conferred
by statute under certain limitations. Why
should this privilege be given to dispose
Of more than fixed amount of property
to any ono individual-say, property to the
value of not over $500, 900 to the wife, of
not more than 500, 600 to each child and
of not more than $50, 900 to any other pel
alive, extending to the third or fourth de-
grces and that the balance of tho estate
should escheat to the state, to be used by
it for the support of schools, charitable in
situations, the employment of laborers in
making roads and other good purposes?
The laxp now proyidoc for tho acchoaf NJ
estates of persons dying without heirs.
The same limitation might be put upon
inheritances where there is no WILL and in
this way the accumulation of vast estates
by inheritance or devise would be checked,
and property, especially landed estates,
which, by nature, belong to all, would DO
more equally distributed. 1t should not be
forgotten that the method of transmitting
property from the dead to the living is en-
tirely derived from the state. If public
policy requires that the state should give
to the dying possessor no longer able to
control or take with him his possessions
the privilege of disposing of SO much as
may be conducive to the comfort and hap
piness of his surviving kindred, does it re-
quire that this privilege should be extend
ed to his disposition of millions to the in
jury of the rest of mankind?
1t is said that to limit the privilege Of
disposing of exceeding 81, 200, 900 Of prop
erty by devise or descent would check en-
terprise and industry, as no man would
struggle to acquire property which he
could not leave to his surviving kindred.
My reply is that man, by his own thrift
and industry, is seldom able to acquire
more than 81, OOO 900 worth of property.
Fortunes exceeding that amount are usu-
ally acquired by speculation, trickery or
some device by which one man takes adj
vantage of his fellow man, and which, if
not illegal, are immoral, or by members
of privileged monopolies, trusts and syn
dicates.
