In the face of the continued low price
of wheat 1t is rather remarkable that
the farmers of the country have just
planted larger acreage than last
years. AS if the over supply from 3d.
61S, 795 acres in 1894 were not sufficient
lesson. they have now planted "A 224
S5S acres in wheat-an increase Of 7O5,-
563 acres over last year. And this they
have done while that grain was selling
at % cents in Chicago. and when in
Oregon and the Puget Sound country
the elevators are full of wheat that was
going begging at 20 cents 4 bushel.
There is every reason to believe that
on all but the largest wheat farms these
prices do not cover the cost Of produc-
ton. One is therefore forced to accept
Secretary Norton's theory of the why
and wherefore of this blind tempting
of fate by the farmers. He says that
wheat is the lazy mans crop. and that
the American farmer unwisely insists
on raising the crop involving the small
est amount Of manual labor. trusting to
luck to bring him out with Il profit
This, added to the superstition that
two years of plenty will be followed by
n short harvest. has led the Northern
farmers to repeat with wheat the very
mistake the Southern farmers have for
years perpetrated with regard to cot
ton. 1t is possible. however, that not
enough allowance has been made for
the important discovery forced upon
the farmers during the last year, of the
value Of wheat as feed for farm ami
mails. 1t is not improbable that many
Of them have determined to put in
wheat for feed purposes where they
formerly planted corn, arguing that
wheat. which can be planted with a
drill, cultivated with harrow, harvest
ed with q self-binder, all drawn by
horses. and threshed by steam, will be
easier to raise and just as useful as
corn. Until the embarrassing ma
chine, recently invented by a Chicago
manufacturing house, shall have proved
xself success 1T is not impossible that
the corn crop of the country may have

Handling Potatoes.

For several years have been using
bushel boxes for marketing early po-
tatOes while the skins slip, and for
handling the crop in the field all
through the season. This is one of the
ways in which the potato specialist can
get ahead Of the small raiser" says
Terry, in his "a B G of Potato Culture"
Il think We handle our crop for less
than half what it used to cost us before
we got these boxes made. Our boxes
are Is inches by IL and Is deep. all in
side measures. They We're made a lit
tie deeper to allow for shrinkage. The
sides and bottoms are made of three
eighths stuff, and the ends of five
eighths. Hand-hOles are cut in the
ends.
1.-The upper corners are bound with
galvanized hoop iron to make them
strong. The price paid for them was
from $50 to $50 hundred ut box fac
tory. Some light wood should be used,
of course, so as to make them as light as
possible. They need not weigh more
than 6 or pounds. Early in the sea-
son, while the skins slip, our potatoes
are dug and laid mot thrOwn) into
these boxes, and the boxes are covered

Method in Feeding Hens.

-NctHOu HI ccu1HS 11cuSs
1t is a source of complaint that the
large breeds eat more food than the
smaller ones, and do not give as good
results in eggs. This depends. however,
upon how they are fed. If the food is
placed before them in unlimited supply.
SO they can eat their ill, there will be
but one result-excessive fat. All grain
fed to large birds should be scattered
over 4 surface of ground, so as to make
them as much exercise as possible. If
they have plenty of range, it is best to
feed nothing at all except at night in
order that they may work during the
day, and thereby keep not only in bet
ter health, but avoid taking ON too
much fat. If confined, however, the
grain should be scattered in some kind
of litter, such as leaves, as the object
should be to compel them to hunt for
each grain rather than to fill themselves
in 4 few moments. only to sit on the
rOOst and fatten like hog. Such hens
are useless, and do not lay. but are al
ways ready for market.-The Fancier.
Growing Small FRUITS.
1t was reported at the recent meeting
of the State Board of Agriculture, Tren-
ton, n. j., that at the present time the
cultivation Of small fruits is almost en-
tirely in the hands of small land own
ers. who grow from one to three acres
Of berries, or only just about so many
as can be picked by the family them
selves, while a few years ago all the
small fruit planting was in the hands
of fewer people, who planted large acre
ages, anywhere from % to 100, on the
different farms; but the difficulty of OBJ
tanning satisfactory pickers at rea-
sonable price just when wanted has
driven these large cultivatOrs entirely
out of the business, and. except in the
neighborhood of large cities and towns.
evidently this is to be the drift of things
in the future.
Spraying.
The use Of poisonous sprays as in-
secticides has become very general.
They are applied not only to field and
garden crops, small and large fruits,
but to shade trees There are those
who believe that many insectivorous
birds are destroyed by eating poisoned
insects. I do not know that this is
true. and hope it is not, but the posi-
bility of such q calamity ought not 20
exist. There is opportunity in this iii
rection for chemistry to perform noble
service, by devising an insecticide

The Endorsed Record.

The records of Senator Ward and
Assemblyman Powers were endorsed
by the Republican county convention.
Let us see where they stood when the
questions between labor and cor
porations were up.
Assemblyman Bullock, of Passaic,
had a bill passed laft winter for the
semi-mOnthly payment of wages. At
ter the Legislature took a recess part
of the bill wa stolen before it reached
the Governors hands. AS a conse-
quence it had to be fixed up and passed
again before it could become a law. 1t
repassed the House at the June session
and for it to get through the Senate
Senator DAILY asked that the rules be
suspended so it could he passed. Sena-
tor Ward then made his sole speech of
the session. 1t was 81 object" OF all
the q Senators lie acted as the spokes-
man against labor. AS consequence
the bill had to take its turn on the cal
enudr ana was Killed.
Assemblyman Bullock, the champion
of labor, refused to vote for MI. Sewell
for Senator. He has been refused a re.
nomination by the Republicans, but
1900 voters, have signed a petition and
he will run as an independent candi.
date in Mr.. Griggs' own county. This
will reduce Griggs' vote greatly at
home.
Thousands of workingmen who work
in New York live in Jersey City, and
are Interested in cheap ferriage. 1t is
said the ferry companies give the rail-
roads q 2'cent rate and the poor man
asks the same. A bill to make a 2 cent
rate was before the Legislature on
March 9TH and 18th. Mr.. Usher said
the bill was asked for by petitions con
tanning 10000 names. Mr.. Cagney
said THE men who refuse to vote for
this bill forswears themselves and be.
trays the trust of the people," Mr..
Guber, Rep, said, ''If you want to
make Hudson solidly Democratic again
vote against cheap ferriage. You've
beaten every thing else asked for by
the people of Hudson. This is almost
our last fight. If you. refuse this the
cry will go up that you are legislating
for the corporations" Mr.. Powers
voted against cheaper ferriage both
times.
There was a bill to make gas cheaper
in the cities. Mr.. Powers voted against
that and helped kill it.
There was a bill passed to require all
public work paid for by public taxation
to be done by native or naturalized cit,
liens, Sometimes contractors hire
large gangs of Italians who work cheap.
er, save ::their money and leave the
country. This bill was strictly for the
protection OF the poor citizen. Mr.. Pow
ers was n of the few who voted
against the bill and in favor of hiring
Dagoes and Chinese.
This is a pretty good record against
labor and in favor of interpretations to
endorse.
