Much ado is made because III q.
market price of Government bonds
IN New York was greater by the
aggregate of 100000 than the
Carlisle contract price. That NAV
be; but what was the use of selling
bonds for gold in New York to
have tie gold taken out of the
treasuary the next day? The result
would have been another sale of
bonds, and another, and another.
and then another. Mr.. Carlisle
was not so much selling bonds as
he vas buying gold, and he was
shrewd enough to have it nominat-
ed In the contract that if Wall
street drew that gold out of the
Treasury, Wall street must keep
1t idle in its bank vaults, for Roth
schl'd and Morgan undertook to
make 1t very expensive for Wall
street to ship it out of the country
Even if that cost $4,000, 600 aud
1t did mott was 100000 we'll
expended.
But there was yet another con-
slderation, ana the greatest
OF all. With London bankers
holders of United States bonds
London bankers became directly
financially interested in ustaining
American public credit. One or
two fellows in Congress, it is true,
say that now we owe the Roth
schllds money they will proceed
to bankrupt us; but l am more
hopeful. | actually believe that
if a few capitalists like Sage'and
few bankers like st. John in New
York, again to force suspension
OF specie payment, the Rothschilds
would try to again prevent it. That
is gold-bug talk, | know, but it. is
common sense.

But there is vet another consid-
Grafton, and if our silver friends
could think moment, the great
est of them all. If international
bimetalism be not an iridescen
dream--and probably it is here
is the road to it. Since our repeal
of the purchasing clause Of the
Sherman Silver Bill, the silver
party has also made great head
way in Europe. Less than three
years ago Germany was the most
pronounced of gold nations; but
only the other day q vote in the
Reichstag indicated that Germany
was ready to adopt international
bimetallism. The silver party has
also made great Roadway in Eng
land, and should the Tory party
in that country make bimetalhsm
part of their policy, as now
seems likely, the outlook for sill
yer will be brighter than it has
Eeen since 6 rmany demonetized
ii.
| sincerely believe that the sill
yer revival in Europe is directly
traceable to the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause Of the Sherman law.
That repeal was notice to Europe
that we would no longer sustain
the silver burden alone, that we
would compete with the gold ma
tons for gold and try our hands in
the great game of financial freeze
out. The effect is already per-
ceptible and is certain to result in
wider use OF silver as money,
though it is not probable that it
will result il a complete remone-
tization.
But if the silver cranks have
their way, if the populist Senate
could have rule, our country would
be monometallic silver country
before the summer comes this good
year of 1895. The American peo-
pie will some day thank God tcr
Cleveland and Carlisle, who stand
between them and national dishon-
or and national ruiz.
They have saved the public
credit, and while they are on guard
the Populist Senate will be as i'm
potent in that direction for evil as
it is impotent in every direction
for good. SANO1ARD.

To Make Poultry Pay.

Fifteen years ago / tried fancy
poultry raising, and, like all begin
ners, / wanted too many kinds, and
kept adding to my stock until |
had twelve varieties, and almost
made a failure, as / did not then
understand how. Some kind and
experienced friend said to me:
"Quit all but two kinds; give them
all the attention you have given
the twelve and scatter them. Have
small ones away from the young
Feed them separate, make them
roost in separate places, have all
roosting places movable, and once
week turn the roosting places
over and coal-oil them; clean up
the houses and boxes once week
the year through; give a variety OF
food-corn, wheat, oats, barley,
buckwheat and table crumbs; also,
fresh gravel, crushed bone and
green feed the year through; good
clover hay once a week in the
houses in the Winter. Quit the
soft, fancy feeding, and give them
sensible care and make success
Of the business"
The poultry business is the lar
gest industry on earth. It sup
ports more people, more people are
engaged in it, more papers and
journals are devoted to its exclusive
interest than any other in the whole
world. All this we can prove
if any one should be so rash as to
doubt it. Hard times will come
now and then, as we all know; when
the poultry industry fourishes, as
the people turn to that to make a
living and improve their stock.
Pay close attention to the details
and find, instead of tagging monot-
ony, as some suppose, that is the
largest, safest and best business in
the whole world.

sheep shearing Machinery.

It is said that the steam sheep
shearing plant located at Casper,
Wyo, is receiving liberal patronage
on account Of the superior work
done by the machines. The oper-
ator is not able to make as great
speed with the machines as by hand
clipping, but he is able to make
much better work, taking off more
wool per head and leaving it in bet
ter condition and with less injury
to the sheep. Sheep resheared by
machinery yield about three-quar-
tiers of q pound of wool, SO it is said,
after having been hand-sheared.

The Bee Interest.

At late California Convention
of bee-keepers, Mr.. Francis W.
Blackford, in an'essay on bee-keep-
ing, among other facts, said that
the annual value of honey in the
United States is close upon $780,
100000, and the number of col
onies of bees kept by apiarists
equaled about one-ifth the num-
Der of sheep in the United States.
This would place the number Of
colonies of bees at 100000,
which, at an average value of
only SO colony, would represent
an investment of $27,000,000 in
bees alone.

Linseed Meal.

This is recognized in stock feed
ing as valuable food article. In
protein nutrients, those parts of
greatest value in food article, it is
second only to cotton-seed meal.
At the same time it is food that
from its oleaginous nature has a
healthful effect on the digestive or
gans of the animals to which it is
fed. The large proportion of food
nutr} nts contained, together with
the kcalthful effect of the same,
renders this article especially de-
sirable.

Pruning Currants and G0OseberrIes.
Do not overlook pruning currants
and gooseberries before Spring sets
in. Cut out all the old wood upon
which the fruit was borne last year,
leaving only the young, thrifty
growth made the past season. A
little top dressing of manure will
also be of benefit, and induce the
plant to make a stronger growth
next season; it also keeps the roots
cool in Summer, which the goose
berry especially delights in.

FARM Notes.
small Farms.

SOIL wonders now ~ 10 Cud1 III WIG
West man can not expect to make
a living off a farm that contains
less than several hundred acres.
A great many Eastern people have
been deferred from entering upon
farming in the West because they
have been taught that one must
own large farm, and have lots OF
agricultural machinery to make a
success, and their limited means
would hardly permit of all this. A
prominent Eastern journal goes SO
far as to say, "The poor man or the
man with a moderate amount of
money can not hope to secure a farm
any where in the West large enough
to make it worth while to spend
the best part of his life in cultivat-
ing it,"
just at present the average Fest
ern farmer, including market gar
deners, dairymen, fruit-growers and
all mixed farmers, is probably bet
ter off on his ten and twenty acres
than his Western brothers on their
100-acre farms, and he is making a
better living. Now the conditions
between the two are somewhat DIFF
ferent, and one must study them
carefully if he would get at prop
er understanding of the question
here propounded.
The Eastern farmer is better off,
because he has found out from ex-
perience that ten acres are often
quite enough for one man to farm,
and that when farm of this size
is properly run it pays good liv-
ing. His whole life is steady one,
and not a speculative one. The
Western man, with his hundreds of
acres, CANDLES. He takes chances
with the weather, and trusts to luck
for issue. If his crop turns out
we'll he makes neat sum, but if
the weather is against him he prob
ably loses all and brings a mort
gage upon the place. A few sue
cessive bad seasons breaks him up
completely. There is the same
feverish excitement about this kind
of farming as there is about stock
speculation in Wall street. 1t is
the everlasting fever to "strike it
rich," to make lots of money in a
short time.
This has been the great trouble
with Western farming in the past,
and the West is just realizing that
it needs farmers now, and not farm
ing spectators. There is no such
chance to make any big profit in
the East, and the dairymen of New
York and Pennsylvania, and the
fruit-growers of New Jersey and
the Hudson River and the general
market gardeners of Massachusetts,
settle down quietly to their small
farms and make them pay because
it is a steady job and sure one if
properly worked.
There are plenty of Indications
that small farms are spreading
through the West, especially in the
dairy districts. Genuine farmers
are now taking up the land that
the spectators failed with, and
they win do considerable in the
next dozen years to raise mortgages,
Young farmers who understand
their business do not reqnire large
estates in the West, as they have
been taught to believe. They will
do much better to buy one-tenth
the amount of land, and put the
rest of the money in the bank or in
improvements. In the end it will
pay a better rate of interest.
