Broom Corn NON Worth $50 a
Ton.

According to Mr.. Loewen, OF st.
Louis. = prominent dealer 10 broom
corn, that article is now worth $50 a
ton in that market. Mr.. Loe wen Ia an
authority on broom corn, and handles
more Of it than any other person in the
country. He says: "We get most Of
OF our supply from the States Of lii
nois. Kansas and Nebraska. Last wear
the drouth cut the supply and now
broom corn is worth $50 a ton, or
cents q pound 1t is grown like In
dian corn and requires no more cult
walton. In the fall the tops of the
stalks are cut of and the seed is taken
off by fast revolving wheel with
nails sticking out uf the rim. Then 1t
is baled into bundles smaller than
cotton bale and shipped. The seed can
be used for fatteniag hogs, but cattle
will not eat them. The stalk and leaves
however, make fair fodder. On an
acre of good ground one should be
able to secure 500 pounds of broom
'orn." Our local factory would gladly
purchase their supplies here. and give
'he market price here ACCORDING to
Grade vicksburg Post.

Potatoes,

We heard some gentlemen last weel
discussing the progress Of the lrisl
potato crop. So when we went gu
home we Investigated our patch anc
only examined two hills. We foune
young potatoes already formed and in
vigorous state of growth. We pull,
ed Oft one and carried it to the house
and by the tape line it was by actual
measurement, four inches in circum-
fererence. This, but for the wasteful.
ness of the thing, would give edible
potatoes. The patch consists of about
one-eighth Of an acre. The land was
tedded up last fall, as we stated at the
time, and had plenty of cotton seed
put down. 1t stood this way until the
s2nd of February when the potatoes
were planted by simply opening the
old beds and without any manure.
The land however was already rich.
The potatoes were of the Triumph va
riety and have only been barred off,
hoed and one furrow of dirt put to
them, which was done about the l4th.
We will finish working them tomor-
row, the 2lst. The working would
have been given earlior but for the ir-
regularity in coming mp, which seems
TO be characteristic of this variety.
Some of the vines nearly cover the
rows now but the largest potato was
Iound at the smallest vine. The Tri-
Imph potato does not shrivel during
he winter, as does other varieties. IL
originated from the Burmuda Red
rom the Islands of that name, and is
native Southerner and
uited to Our climate. The true potato
f thisIvariety is said to have NO blooms.
We anticipate at very early day

A Pneumatic Horse Collar.

Horses with sore shoulders will be q

principle is applied. . rubber air

Cattle RdtStnG.

| This is an industry that must as
sumo large and remunerative proper
lions in our Southern country in the
near future. This will scarcely be
conceded by our people who have been
selling cattle upon local markets
where the tail has been sold for about
three or four dollars, and the balance
Of the animal thrown In. There Is al
ready scarcity of this kind Of live
stock being experienced. Agriculture
has spread SO rapidly throughout the
west and north west and encroached
SO upon grazing lands. that there is no
longer the room for the cattle produc-
ton Ut former years. The low price
of stock for several years past induced
men in that business on large scale,
to convert large areas into cultivatio
and that ton by improved machinery.
which rapidly withdrew vast domain
of pasture from stock raising. The
whole world eats meat, but the densi-
ty Of population does not admit OF the
utilization Of land for grass to animal
food, 1t has to produce food by cultiva-
ton for man himself who is so rapidly |
filling the earth. For many years yet
to come we can put to useful and prot.

lands. both wood and

NO DOUBT OF 1T.
The Gold-Bug Democrats Will
Nominate Cleveland.

Special to the St. Paul Di patch.
Washington, March 14.-Preside mt
Cleveland will be urged to accept re-
nomination next year on straight
Colds standard platform. His closest
friends and counSellorS says that the
free silver craze is bound to break into
both parties in about equal proper
tions. A story is current today that
Cleveland has said that he will give
his answer by the 1St of next Deem
Der. II the finances are not further
complicated and business revives to
any extent Cleveland is pretty sure to
be the candidate. He would be backed
by all the New England and several
Western states. Hon. James Kerr,
clerk of the last house of Representa-
tives, says Cleveland will be the stand
ard bearer in 1896.
The Money-Power perceives that
there is going to be break up of the
Democracy, and that large part of it
will slough off on the silver-question.
They are therefore preparing to get
up a gold-bug ticket and demand
Democratic allegiance; not that they
will have the slightest hope of elect
ing their candidate, but to play the
part Becker played in our State cam
paign last fall, to help the Republic
cans to victory. And who could they
find better fitted for the task than
Cleveland. He is the undertaken of
the Democracy, and should have the
honor of lowering the corpse into the
grave and shovelling the dirt upon it.

We Will Answer 1t,

New York World: AS long as this is
the case the question of the currency
is going to be live issue in American
politics. 1t is dry and difficult ques-
ton, but there is no escaping it. 1t is
like the riddle Of the sphinX-we must
either answer it or be devoured.
1t is already answered The Sphinx

But why this silence about the tar
if? They told us in 1890 and 1892, and
1894 that there was no money-ques-
ton; that we were cranks, lunatics,
anarchists, to talk about it. Where is
the tariff now?

Sausage is goOd-bOlOny of cOurSe;-
Oh we're, Oh we're can he be?
Dey makes it of dog and dey makes it of

Iguess dey makes it of he"
The sham is played out. Tariff is
dead. 1t has gone throug the sausage
machine-nOt an inch of it's pretty
wagging tail is left intact. Thank
God the country is now brought face
to face with living issues. The dread
fully important question of the du-
ties on castor oil and carbOlic acid and
straw and ground acorns, is relegated
to the everlasting limbo of exploded
humbugs; and the mighty issue of the

But the bankers arrOgate to them

they have to say ''BehOld u.s." they
say, with putting cheeks and proud de-
meanor; eve sell money. Therefore
we know all about money. We are
pure patriots and advise the people for
the peoples good. We want an honest
dollar that the workingman may not
be paid in debased currency, and the
only dollar we believe honest is one
that will be worth Is per cent more
when our debtors pay it back to us
than it was when we lent it to them.
We deny that there is any dearth of
money in circulation. Our vaults are
full of it and we are ready to lend it
on gilt-edge security. knowing that
besides the interest we get on it the
money will be worth a large per cent
more when it comes back than when
it went out. Such Of it as we can not

for the patriotic purpose of drawing
gold from the treasury and then tore

What wonder is it that the Bankers
club has monthly dinners at which the
monetary question is always settled to
the thorough satisfaction of every
body present? AS long as the people

PETER WANTS A NEW PARTY.
Says the POpulists Will be Swal.
lowed Up in the Reform
Movement.

Canton, Ohio, March Ex-senator
PETER. of Kansas, addressed a political
meeting here tonight in the interest
of the municipal campaign of Canton
PopuliSts. In an interview tie SEN
ator said that he expects the Populist
party finally to be absorbed by new
party. Said he: "There are many ele-
ments in conflict with the policy Of
the ruling powers. The country is now
controlled by practically four combi-
nations-the land monopoly, the labor
monopoly, the transportation monopo-
ly, the money monopoly. The people
of all parties and Of all phases Of life
see the baneful effects of these combi-
nations. Some of the evils are in one
party and some in another. To make
their voices heard in legislation the
opposing elements must get their
votes together. The end will be
great party made up of the opposing
elements, which party will absorb the
Populists and large portions of the
Republicans and Democrats. All of
the Reform movements, such as the
Populists, the Prohibitonists, ETC.,
will get together on common ground
in this movement and then there will
be new name."
Would it not be better to let all
these different organizations, which
are now springing up to advocate free
silver, gang their ain gate and gath
er all the strength they can; and then
all meet in their separate national
conventions in 1896, in the same city,
and see if they can not agree on one
platform and one candidate for Presi-
dent and another for Vice President?
We are not making war on any Of
these new parties, but we are not in
favor of scattering our 100000 voters
of the Peoples Party, by going over to
any other organization. What we
want is concentration not "scattera-
tion." Wisdom, good sense, modera-
tion and fidelity must rule the hour,
and meet the coming emergency.
