The First Pair of Boots.

No one knows who invented boots or
by whom the legged foot coverings We're
first worn. Some writers arc of the opin-
ion that they first came in vogue among
the Carians. They are mentioned by Ho-
ner 907 years B. c. and are frequently re-
ferrcd 10 by the early Roman historians.
In this connection it may be interesting to
note that a torture instrument called the

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE

Monetary Reform Declared to be the
Paramount Issue Bond Issue De-
nounced.
ST LOUIS. Mo Nov. % AT to days
session of the Bi Metallic League tie
following preamble and resolution was
adopted:
WHEREAS. It is an indisputable fact
that the monetary revision inaugurated
In 1873. by changing the money stand
ard from gold and silver to gold alone,
has resulted, in twenty years, in
doubling the value of money and re-
ducing the general level of prices so
per cent ; therefore this conference
calls upon the advocates of monetary
reform every where to make monetary
reform the paramount issue, and to
vote for no candidate who is not in
favor of free coinage of both gold and
silver at the ratio of Is to 1, as it ex-
listed in this country from the foundR
ton of the government and for indefi
mite ages throughout the civilized
world until 1873
ORGANIZATION URGED.
Americans must act for An erica in
dependently of what other nations may
do or may not do, and t this end we
urge the organization of silver leagues
throughout the entire country, the
members of which shall pledge them
selves to do all in their power to carry
out these principles, and that the min
ing and agricultural States unite in
close compact, and. subordinating all
other issues and all party considera=
tions to the one purpose, work together
to III this all important reform.
ReSOIUed, That a committee of five
be appointed to take this movement in
charge. with power 10 call convention

ton.
ssh OF BONDS DENOUNCED.
The gold standard cannot be main
tanned by issuing bonds and borrowing
gold, and we denOunce the issue of
bonds in times of peace as not only
without authority of law, but as an
utterly indefensible public policy.
What is needed now is more stand
ard money to pay debts and taxes
with, and not more promises to pay
gold.
We denounce, also, the proposed
policy of delegating to banking insti
buttons organized for private gain the
right to issue and regulate the paper
currency of the country, a sovereign
power, which the General Government
alone should exercise.

II has been known for several years
that the wheat most desired by the
miller was variety which was hard

that was especially liked by the bakers
and consumers, says Nebraska OGlle-
tin. The former desired flour that
would produce a greater number OF
loavcs of bread of good quality. This

soft wheats contain large per cent
or proportion of starch to albumen.
It therefore often happens that the
variety Of wheat which is most profit
able for the baker and the miller tc
handle is the very one that is poor
variety for the farmer to raise, for the
reason that it is not a strong grower
or good yielder. The farmer prefers
to raise wheat that is of a large berry
that grows strongly and branches OF
p
tillers well, and that thrcshes out the
greatest number of bushels per acre
This to him is manifestly to hi
greatest profit provided the prlc
per bushel remains the same; bu

Growing Onions.

The so-called new method with
onions is little more than an extension
of their growing season by starting
the plants early in the season under
glass writes W. f. Farmer in American
Cultivator. But this innovation is sui
fcient to stamp the work as new, and
really worth all Of the talk about IT,
By adopting this method we are pretty
sure to make the crop success. bad
seasons, late seasons and other una
vorable conditions can not do much
harm to the crop, or, at the most, the
injury from these causes is reduced TO .
the lowest minimum. Where the SOIL
is suitable, the large white onions are
the most profitable to grow, Tor the
demand for them is always in excess
of red and yellow, and the prices PAID
are sometimes nearly double In the
eastern states the white onions reach
their perfection, and they sell for from
81 to 50 per barrel more than the req
and yellow ones from other sections
This is due to the peculiarly Of the
soil and the coast climate, and farmers
have developed the industry in that sec
ton by persistent study OF the needs o

prove profitable enough in any sectloi
