CULTIVATING THE LAWN.

On passing through the country
on the approach of spring, different
modes are observed for preserving
the richness of lawns by the applica-
ton Of fertilizers made in autumn,
which become dissolved by rain and
melting snow. But many of them
have an unsightly appearance from
the coarse Jumps of barn manure
scattered over the surface. They
would have presented a much better
appearance and been more efficient
as fertilizers if the Jumps had been
finely broken when applied and even
" and uniformly spread. But the
correction may still be partly made
if done early in spring. A steel rake,
a smoothing harrow, or a weeder
may be employed for this purpose.
Still better, where a fine, handsome
velvet of grass is desired, is the use
of commercial fertilizers. The
Prairie Farmer offers some good
suggestions on this subject in the use
of nitrate of soda. 1t proposes $50
pounds of nitrate of soda, 200
pounds of powdered phosphate OF
lime, and 100 pounds of soda ash to
the acre, or in that proportion. 1t
is applied on the lawn in the spring
for the April showers. 1t is, OF
course, sown evenly broadcast
The whole expense per acre is from
$5.25 to S6.75. We may remark
that some of these ingredients viii
be much more useful on some soils
than others, which must be deter
mined by making the trial.-[Coun

THE FUTURE OF FARMING.

The so-called bonanza wheat farms
of the Northwest and the big farms
of the California valleys grew out of
transient conditions that no longer
prevail-the California farms out of
the old Spanish land grants and the
Minnesota and Dakota farms out of
congressional grants to railroads.
The history of the Northwestern big
farms is that the land was purchas-
ed from the railroad companies with
deprecated stock and cost originally
about one dollar per acre The low
price of wheat and the higher price
of land have changed the whole as
pect of large farming. There is no
bonanza in the big farm now; it
makes but a moderate profit on the
years, and with bad crop it barely
pays running expenses. 1t requires
as careful management as factory.
/ believe that we are now in a tran
sition period in agriculture. The in
huence of machinery has been fully
exerted. There are no more fertile
lands on the globe to be conquered
by civilization and to increase the
food-supp1y. With growth of pop
ulation will come better prices for
farm products. Farm life will be-
come more attractive. The tendency
to large farms will be checked. A
hundred acres, even with exclusive
grain farming, will afford a good
living to family. Better times for
American agriculture are not far off.

"PARlTY" AND EQUALITY.


Question Upon Which There Is Much
Talk and bat Little Understanding.
There is an immense amount of talk
about the Importance of maintaining
"the parity" of gold and silver and
there seems to be an immense amount
of misunderstanding of the question.
The recent Vermont republican con-
-vention, which is said to actually mis-
represent the sentiments of that party
in that state, declared itself in favor
of the EXTENDED use of silver within
the ability of the government to pre-
serve the present parity between gold
and silver" in this city the national
league professed belief in bimetallism
maintained on perfect parity"
Both planks are meaningless because
they may be interpreted to mean any
thing. The California republican con.
vention plank is plain and unequivocal.
1t says; "We favor the free and UNI
limited coinage of silver at the ratio Of
16 to 1, and the making of silver as we'll
as gold legal tender in payment Of
all debts, both public and private"
This is a recognition of a phase
of the silver question that
seems to be purposely avoided by
the advocates of gold recommendation.
Until 1873 there was perfect parity"
between gold and silver, and also be-
tween our gold and silver money and
the products of labor, Fluctuations in
value succeeded the demonstration of
silver and the consequent fluctuations
in the value of money. AS gold appre-
ciated, labor and the results of labor
deprecated. As silver sank to the
position of a commodity, the price of
all commodities sank with it. When
silver was deprived of its debt paying
power, epe@ya3lipg else, save gold, was
SlSV deprived 81 Z great theasdrS d ia

HEAD THEM OFF.

Let the United States TAKE the Initiative in
Heading on European Gold MOnOpO-
lists.
In commenting upon the report that
the Rothschilds are about to buy up
the Transvaal gold fields of Africa the
Atlanta Constitution says that this
will give the gold standard countries
more trouble than they bargained for.
The appreciation of the gold dollar has
already caused a ruinous shrinkage of
values, and under the single gold
standard our people have lost about as
much as the civil war wasted and de-
stroyed but If these European money
kings are going to control the worlds
output of gold, we may look for con-
traction of the currency, shrinkage
of the value of labor and labor's prod
ucts, and an increase in the purchas-
ing power of every gold dollar that
will precipitate state of things fully
as bad as slavery.
ut is to be hoped that this move of
the Rothschilds will cause every coun-
try to re-establish bimetallism in self
defense. But it may be that the gold
sharks of Europe have every govern
ment under their control, and will at
tempt to carry out their policy at all
hazards. The first defensive step
Should be taken by the United States.
The best way to check the Rothschilds
and their allies is to remonetize silver
in this country. Let this be done and
it will make no difference how many
gold fields these spectators purchase.
With plenty of silver and paper based
on silver we can counteract the appre-
ciating tendency of the gold dollar.
This is the best policy and the winning
policy"

Many farmers do not like to feed
fodder because the stalks are q great
nuisance in the stable. The best way
to give to stock is by means of a rack
urade Of fence rails as shown in the
illustration. This rack is made as fol-
lows: Take large wooden forks feet
long and set them In a row 10 feet
apart and one foot in the ground. In
these lay long pole. On each side
dig trench inches deep parallel to
these forks and ~ feet distant. Set
the rails in these trenches and lean
across the pole alternating from the
different sides, IL they are large
enough there will be ample space for
the stock to pull the fodder through.
The length Of the rack can of course
be regulated to suit the needs of the
builder. BY placing this aclz between
two lots it will serve as fence and

value. The wheat of the north, the
cotton Of the south, the corn Of the
west, sank steadily until II is estimated
that three times as much labor must
be done and three times MS much ofany
commodity must be produced to pay a
debt OF $40 as was necessary twenty
years ago.
Parity means equality; it follows
then that what Is desired by the real
friends of silver, and the prefessed de-
sire Of the false friends of bimetallism,
is the equality of tho money metals.
They must be equal with each other In
accordance with the ratio in their debt
paying power, and they must also be
equal TO the work OF the people and
the result of their work. 1.-THE real
parity OF money! says the Atlanta
Constitution, lis in the relations it
bears to the product of labor, for it is
in these products that all debts are
finally settled. Money is simply the
medium through which these products
are exchanged" There is no such
equality between gold and work. This
has been amply proved again and
again, and incidentally it has proved
the closeness OF the relation between
silver and all the products of the labors
of our hands. The gold-bug inveighs
over the dishonesty" of a dollar that
will purchase so much to-day and so
much tomorrow, forgetting that this
is the peculiar property of his gold dol
lar fetch. The silver dollar bears a
fixed value in relation to all that one
can buy with it; the gold dollar may
change without any apparent connec-
ton between this change and the value
of anything else in the market.-Den-

! firmly believe, and observations will
bear me out, that pig kept clean by
washing will grow faster than one
whose skin is plastered with mud and
filth. Where there are many pigs it
might not be convenient to keep them
clean, but with only few weekly
scrubbing will certainly be beneficial,
Come to think of 1t, why should not
hog thrive better with clean skin as
well as horse or COW? 1t certainly
would be more conducive to the health

OF course, in pushing the pigs it is
intended to market them at six or
eight months old. The day has gone
by to keep them year or more before
selling. They may be made to give
greater growth the first six months in
proportion to The expense OF feeding
