RENTING ON SHARES.
The Terms Demanded by Landlords in
the Middle States.

The Terms Demanded by Landlords in
the Middle States.
Hardly any two farms are let on ex-
actly the same terms, but in the main
it may be said that all terms come
down at last to somewhere between a
third and half division of the pro-
ceeds ofsthe property. In the north
eastern part of Ohio, we understand
that it is almost an established custom
to rent a dairy farm at the halves-the
owner to furnish land, COWS, possibly
some tools, the tenant to do all the
work, furnish the work team, pay half
of the taxes, and, in the advent of
purchased feed for the dairy, he is to
Jay one-half of the cost of the feed
needed, and the owner of the farm the
other half. Now and then a man who
rents desires to own part of the cows
and raise some young stock. In this
event the owner of the farm pays to
the tenant per cent. interest on the
market value of the few cows that the
tenant may furnish, and at the ex-
piration of the lease the increase
of the herd is equally divided.
Where the tenant desires to own the
stock, it is customary in the middle
states to agree upon cash rent for
the farm, and the tenant ''hoes his
own row." specifications usually be-
ing agreed upon as to how the farm
shall be managed, how much plowed,
how much seeded down, and all tools
supplied by the owner of the farm to
be kept in repair, well housed, and a
reasonable amount allowed for their
use.
Where land is let by the acre, it is
hard to tell at a distance just what
would be a fair rental, including taxes
and keeping things in repair; but in
many parts of Ohio such lands, and
good houses, handy to market, rent
from So. so to $3 per acre, and if near to
city where milk can be retailed,
garden truck raised, and like advan-
tages, it may be double this, and possi-
bly, more for a general farm, while a
truck patch would bring a rental out

THE NATIONAL ROAD.

A His torica1 Highway Partially Built by
the General Government.
Are you old enongh to remember the
national road?
Before railroads were either plenty
or much needed, the general govern
ment undertook that historic highway
starting from Baltimore and going
through Wheeling and Cincinnati tc
the Mississippi river. The work was,
in general SO good that it took several
years of neglect on the part of the
local authorities, after the highway
was surrendered to the counties, to
make the national look like the other
roads in its vicinity. That road was
built for military purposes, and now
the people are asked to DO work of the
same kind for their own pleasure, con-
venience and profit.
Pioneers will tell you what an ad-
vantage the national road was to them
in the early days. It will be found
also that the prosperous new state in
pioneer times was known by it's su-
perior state roads. By tradition and
almost by hereditary instinct the Amer
lean people ought to be a nation OF
road builders.
The trouble is that, in the general
rush and hurry Of improvement in 9TH
er directions, the steam railroad and
even the trolley lines bid fair to take
the item of road building out of the
hands of the people altogether. Sure
1y. besides these means of transit and
transportation, a neighborly. civilized
nation like this needs good roads that
will be, SO to speak, the peoples own
private thoroughfares for their use in
the friendly intercourse OF life!
The shiftless road maker has long
been subject of ridicule; but the
good-roads movement finds him nui-
sance and an obstruction. His methods
must be summarily swept aside.-Once

commons; a student of occult philos-
ophy and comparative theology, and a
confirmed bachelor. Americans who
nave met him praise his gentlemanly
demeanor, under which, however, he
hides an unlimited amount of class
prejudice and traditional pride. He is
a nephew of Lord Salisbury who, some
English writer's assert, would like to
see him his successor as head of the
conservative party.
Balfour and Joseph Chamberlain
the latter secretary of state for the coll
onies-on accepting Office reproached
the Rosebery government for not dis
solving parliament instead of resigning.
Mr.. Chamberlain, in his address, added:
''The unionist leaders have absolutely
agreed that the wild projects for con-
stitutional change and destructive leg
islation which formed the staple pro-
posals of the last two administrations
shall be laid aside. The unionists will
devote their principal attention to a
policy of constructive social reform,
and at the same time will maintain the
full efficiency of the defensive resources
of the empire"
Chamberlain is the shrewdest men,
Der of the Salisbury ministry. He is
not quite as scholarly as Balfour, but
what he does not know about the
ways of politicians and their tricks
is not worth knowing. Not so many
years ago he was, next to Gladstone,
the most influential man in the LIBERAL
party and looked upon as the coming
leader of the forces collected by the ven
erable sage of Hawarden. His radical
tendencies frightened Gladstone, how
ever, and he was relegated at q time
when his prospects seemed brightest.
Chamberlain never forgot the affront,
and remembered it at time when
Gladstone needed him most, and united
himself with the unionists when the
liberals began to advocate home rule
for Ireland. Since then he has become
a devoted tory, and it is possible that
he will combat with Balfour for the
honor of becoming leader of the house
in case of conservative success at the
election Mr.. Chamberlain has visited
the United States several times, his
wife being the dauShter of one of the
oldest New England families.
The new president of the council, the
duke of Devonshire, is better known to
Americans as the marquis of Hunting
ton. Like Chamberlain he is a distin-
guished ex-liberal. In 1875, when Mr..
Gladstone announced his intention Of
giving up the party leadership, he was
chosen leader in the house of commons.
In 1880 Queen Victoria, after the fall Of
the conservatives, invited him to form

Advisabilitv of DehorniDr.

If there is any doubt of the advisable
Ety of dehorning cattle in general,
There can be no doubt OF the advisa-
oility of dehorning the bad-tempered
animal that is prone to drive his fell
lows from the water or feed trough, or
from the shelter. This animal does
not profit from the hurt it does others.
The quarrelsome animal never makes
as much fat or milk from it's feed as it
would were it quiet and peaceable, and
1t reduces the thrift of the animals it
deprives of feed, water or shelter, if it
does not injure them. In nearly every
case such an animal viii be thorough
~ reformed by dehorning; it will be
among the most peaceable among the
herd. In the few cases in which this
effect is not produced the animals ca
;,acity to injure its fellows is much
ressened, and they will soon learn this

but would not accept office under Lord

The other gentlemen composing the
Salisbury ministry have had ample ex-
perience in public life, but it is hardly
necessary to mention their names and
achievements excepting perhaps ref
erence to Sir Michael Hicl1s-Beach, the
new chancellor of the exchequer,
whose fame is international.
The marquis of Salisbury has as
sumed the portfolio of secretary Of
state for foreign affairs, to the great
satisfaction of every court in Europe.
He is recognized as a power in inter
national politics, and his utterances re-
ceive far more attention than did the
correspondence of his predecessor,
Lord Kimberley. For some reason the
liberal party has always been weak in
conducting international disputes-a
shortcoming which has several times
led to its downfall.

It would seem that the most rational
treatment for it is as follows:
In the spring, before the canes start,
8pray them with a solution of sulphate
of copper (blue vitriol) made by dissolv-
ing one pound of it in fifteen gallons
pf water. Later, spray the new cane
with Bordeaux mixture, proba bly,

dition of the Liberal Party-The
Unionist Programme.
Written for This Paper ]

The passing-away of the Rosebery
ministry in Great Britain was not a
surprise to anyone. For months the
liberal party had remained in power by
grace of the opposition, whose leaders
did not care to assume the responsibility
of the government as long as the liber-
al platform stood the faintest show Of
success at the polls. The defeat of the
government in the house of commons
which led to the retirement of Lord
Roscbery and his colleagues was trick,
pure and simple, worthy of Joseph
Chamberlain, the tory Machiavel. The
conservatives pretend that they did not
wish to oust their opponents at the

quickly and easily, but road machines
are expensive, and for the making of

scraper that is figured herewith serves
a vegy good purpose, while for making
smooth a rough country highway, and
Tor gradually working the earth from
the sides to the center of the road,
this scraper, preceded by a harrow,
will be found of very great assistance.
The trouble with most of our country
roads is that they are fat so that the
rainfall either stands on the surface
and makes it extremely muddy, or,
if the road be in rolling or hilly
country, the water runs along the mid
die of the highway, and badly washes
it, The shoulder at the sides of such
roads should be loose earth scraped
into the middle of the highway
so that it will be rounded from
side to side. Then if the side
bitches are kept open all rain
water will quickly run off, and do no
injury either by making mud or by
washing. These two points, | think,
account for large share of our poor
highways "a fiat surface and poor
drainage at the sides. If towns would
