is annually increasing, and the profits
derived from this business are already
enormous. Farmers should see to IL
that they are able to meet part Of this
demand. The private garden can be
made to be as productive as the soil Of
the professional. One thing must be
remembered, and that Is that the day
for doing as our father did before us
Is past. The farmer OF each succeed
ing generation has need to be better
farmer than were those who preceded
him. We must be guided by business
principles, and not by custom. One
should have no hidebOund principles
In either business or politics.
When seed Is planted and a crop is
raised it seems that something Is COM
ing from nothing, for from few
pounds are produced tons; but for the
formation of every substance there
must be supplied an amount of matter
equal In weight to the substance
formed. The growing crop gathers
all its bulk from the air and soil. IL
eats and fsttens like the growing boy.
The summer Is fairly here, but the
wise gardener will be on the watch for
late frosts after most people think the
danger has passed. A single nights
protection will save a valuable crop,
and pay more than hundred.fold for
the care. The successful man does
not live by the main chance.
Onions are a good crop for the farm
er's garden, but In order to make
money out of such a crop the soil must
be extremely fine and rich, and keep 1t
absolutely free from weeds. Then
grow the large handsome sorts, and
you are likely to have paying crop.
The White Victoria is very early, al
though not quite so productive as some

Grass for Pigs.

Exercise, good air and sunshine play
a much greater part in pig raising than
most people commonly suppose. 1t is
for this reason that the Western prac-
tice of relying quite largely on grazing
for the nourishment of swine is so sue
Cessful.
This has never been so clearly dem
onstrated as by q series of pig-feeding
tests extending over four years, made
by Mr.. A. A. Mills of Utah. We give
the results below:
l. Pigs allowed to run at large over
eighteen acres of good pasture and fed
a full ration of grain made the most
rapid growth and required the least
grain for one pound of gain.
2. Pigs confined in movable pens in
the pasture grew more slowly than
those running loose, and required an
increase of 20 per cent. of grain to
make one pound of growth.
3. Pigs al pasture, fed under three
different conditions, gained 92.5 per
cent. more and ate but 2 per cent.

otherwise similarly fed, bat confined In

one pound of gain was increased 40
per cent. with those in pens over those
in pasture.
4. Pigs fed but part rRtiOns of grain
at pasture made satisfactory gains.
Those at pasture getting the three
fourths grain ration gained more than
those fed full grain ration and grass,
either In the yards or in the pens.
5. Pigs psstured without grain made
about the same growth for three sea-
sons in succession, this averaging .S6
of a pound per day.
6. AS nearly as can be judged, exer-
else alone increased the gain % per
cent, and the amount eaten but l.5
Per cent, but decreased the amount
required for one pound gain % per
cent.
Z. Grass when cut and fed green to
pigs, whether fed in pens or yards, or
with full or part grain ration, or with
out grain, proved to be of very little
value.
8. Pigs confined in pens and fed on
grass alone, mostly luCerne, for ninety
one days, lost over a quarter of
pound per day.
8. The average of the pigs fed on
grass gained a little more than those
without the grass, but not enough tO
pay for the extra feed In the grass.
10. With the pigs confined in the hog.
house pens, the grass proved beneficial,
while with those in the yard 1t proved
detrimental, the latter requiring more
grain to make a pound of pork with
the grass than without 1t.
IL. Pssturing either with full or
with part grain rstions appeared to be
by far the cheapest and best way Of
making pork. Farm NelOS.

The Farmers Garden.

The garden which should by all
means be attached to every farmers
home should receive careful attention
at this season of the year. During June
and July they should be at the height
of their productiVenesS.
In planting the garden bear In mind
that 1t Is not best to SOW Immediately
either before or after a rain. Rain
packs the soil more or less, and 1t then
bakes In the sun so that the seed sown
is almost sure to suffer. Sow on q
freshly-turned soil--one that ls light,
loose and moist.
Forty years ago IL per cent. Of our

now over 40 per cent. are there, and

for every dollar there is in 1t by the use
of fertilizers and forcing crops by
every possible method. Horses or
cattle ale not grszed in psddocks or
great pasture fields as we feed them
during the grass season in the United
States. The grass is cut and fed to
the animal in the stable. Besides this,

or France and Belgium, for that mat
ter, is not allowed to fool away any
time. He is worked to the limit of his
strength. Mr.. Hogan says his firm in

The Worth Of Water.

Few farmers remember how much
they appreciate a cool draught Of
water, fresh from the we'll or fountain,
In summer, when providing for the
live stock. Too often the tank or
trough is filed but once In twenty-four
hours. The pigs too often have access
to the drinking places of the larger
stock. Positive detriment to the stock
results when the water Is not always
of an inviting temperature. As 9 rule,
digestion is aided more by good water
ever In the reach Of the animal than
any other one article. The quality ia
much better If possible to furnish 1t

CLEVELAND TALKS.
He Thinks 1t Would be UnpatriOtic and
Foolish to EngTaft Free Silver Into
the Democratic Greed.

the Democratic Greed.
In reply to a request from the New
York Herald, President Cleveland has
written the following letter in relation
to the action of the Chicago COnVen-
tiOn:
''I have made no figures as to the
probable action of delegates already
chosen or to be chosen to the Dem
ocratic National convention, but re-
fuse to believe thst when the time
arrives for deliberate action there will
be engrsfted upon our Democratic
creed a demand for the free, unlimited
and independent coinage of silver. l
cannot believe this because l know the
Democratic party il neither unpstri-
otic nor foolish, and because 1t seems so
clear to me that such course will in
flict very great injury upon every In
terest of our country, which 1t has been
the mission of Democracy to sd-
vance, and will result in lasting dis
aster to our party organization.
"There is little hope that as means
of success this free silver proposition,
after its thorough discussion during
political campaign, will attract a ma
jority of votes of the country, 1t must
be that many of the illusions inAuenc-
ing those now relying upon this al
legged psnsces for their ills will be
dispelled before the time comes for
them to cast their ballots, which will
express their sober second thought.
The adoption by the Democracy of
this proposition would, l believe, give
to our opponents an advantage both
In the present and future which they
do not deserve.
"My attachment to true Democracy
is so strong that 1 consider its success
as identical with the promotion of the
country's good. This ought sufficiently
to account for my anxiety that no mis-
take be made at our Nsrty convention.
In my opinion no effort should be
spared to secure such action of the del
egstes as will avert party demorsli-
zstion. 1t is a place for consultation
and comparison of views; and those
Democrats who believe in the cause Of
sound money should there be heard
and be constantly in evidence.
ga cause worth fighting for is worth
fighting for to the end. If sound
money Democrats suppose that there
Is danger Of q mistake being made
such danger should stimulate their
activity In sverting it instead of Great
ing encouragement.
"I am very far from srrogsting to
myself q controlling influence upon
the policy of my party, but as an un-
finching Democrat who has been hen
ored by his party, and who de-
sires hereafter no greater political
privilege than to occupy the place of
private in the ranks, l hope l may not
be blamed for saying this much at this
time In the interest, ss It seems to me,
of the grand old organization, so rich
in honorable traditions, 80 justly proud
of its achievements, and always so un-
dsunted and brave In It's battles for
