Debtor and Creditor.
The free coinage men profess especial solici.
tu6e for those whom they call "the debtor
class" Who are the debtor class? Our silver
friends speak as If, as rule, the rich people
were creditors and the poor were debtors. Is
this correct? In my household am the debtor
to the cook and the cham bermaid and the
washerwoman two or three weeks In the
month, and they are my creditors. Nor
are they likely to be debtors to anybody else,
while I may be, for they have little if
any credit. while perhaps have some. I am
therefore the only debtor in my house.
The relations between the large employer OF
labor and the employees substantially the
same. Ordinarily the employer, the rich man,
is apt to be the only debtor among them.
The employees are, as a rule. only creditors,
and as they lay up savings they are apt to be-
come creditors In larger sense. They depos-
II their money in savings banks or invest it in
building associations, in mutual benefit socie-
ties, in loan companies or in life insurance
policies and become capitalists In q small
way. The amount deposited by people Of
small means In the savings banks Of the United
States is at present something over 81 SCI, CO.,,
600, that invested In building associations
about $500, o00, Co., In mutual benefit societies
ss65, 600 and III life insurance many hum
dred millions more.

Pushing Cattle from Birth.

Much more profit may be made in
feeding beef cattle if they are pushed
to their utmost capacity of feeding
from birth. and killed not more than
two years old, says the Philadelphia
Record. With the smaller breeds prob
ably year old would be still better
IS those animals which are born to
be small stop growing early, and no
amount of feeding will enable them to
rival the breeds of the same animals
that have for generations been bred for
beef. The more rapidly beef is fat
tened the more tender and better fla
vored will be it's flesh. This doesnot mean
that the animals should be stuffed to
repletion. That is just the way to IN
jure digestion, and thus retard fatten-
ing.

lNExcUSABLE WASTE.
Why Farmers Should Feed Skim-Milk ia
Their Stock.


Their Stock.
I was in q creamery in the southern
Eart of Illinois, where the sweet sepa.
rated milk was sold at one cent per gal.
lon. A stream of wagons was driving
up one side of the factory, the milk was
poured into the tank that fed the sepa.
rator, while stream of young women
were carrying off the skimmilk in pals.
The people of the village evidently re-
allied that they had good thing in the
very cheap, sweet SKINNED milk.
The price paid for milk was about IL
cents per hundred weight. Now if tho
factory sold the milk in gallon lots at
that price it naturally follows that the
farmers that sold the whole milk could
have bought back the SKINNED milk at
even less. The value of that milk if
fed to hogs was from IL to 20 cents, il
fed with corn and counting the fertil.
izer in the undigested portions. Recent
figures from our experiment stations
show that in 100 pounds of such milk
there is enough nitrogen. phosphoru.
and potash to bring the manurial value
UP to ten or twelve cents. AS only %
per cent. of this is digested, it would
leave the manurial value of the milk a.
from seven to ten cents. Add this to thu
value of the other digested portion fol
the making Of pork and we have value
of nearly 20 cents.
Why should farmers allow this valu.
to slip away from them? OF course l.
they want to sell skim-milk to tn.
townspeople at half price. or as an &C,
of philanthropy, no one will find fault
but from business standpoint it is ar
unwise thing to do. Any enterprisine
farmer located near such a liberal
minded creamery should improve the
opportunity to secure as much as pos
sible of the milk and turn it into pork
poultry and eggs. But it is to be hoped
that the time is not far distant wher
farmers will know too much to let &c
valuable a product go except for full
value.-Ohio Farmer.

In the Agricultural line, Texas leads all
other states ia the variety OF its products.
Cotton, corn and the cereals grow and are
raised in every section OF the state and in
the central and southern portions sugar
cane and sorghum are profitably cultivated.
On the Gulf Coast two and three crops of
vegetables are raised each year. Berries are
shipped six weeks in advance Of the home
crop in the north. Pears, peaches, plums,
oranges, fgs, olives and nuts all grow album
dainty and can be marketed from two to
three weeks In advance OF the California
crops. Large quantities OF rice are now
grown.
II the land seeker, the home seeker and
the settler desires to secure farm larger
than the one he occupies, on vastly more
reasonable terms; il he wants more land to
cultivate, a greater variety of crops to
harvest, with proportionately increased re-
muneration, at a less outlay for cost of pro-
duction; if he wants an carrier season with
correspoudingly higher prices; If he wants
milder winters, all the year pasturage Tor
his stock improved health, increased bodily
comforts and wealth ana prosperity, he
should go to Texas.

Free Wool and Free silver.

During the many weary months after
the Wison-Gorman tariff had given the
death blow To the wool industry free
trade journals assured their readers that
the blow would not bc fatal. In time the
industry would revive. Considerable pru-
dencc was manifested as to dates. but the
prediction was confident that in the
course of time the industry would re-
cover from its paralysis. The Philadel-
phia Record was one of the most san
glinc of these free traders. That journal
simply knew that its theories could not
be wrong. Free wool must and would
enable our manufacturers to recover the
home market for wooden goods and grad
ually get good hold on the markets
of the world. In recent issue the Rec
ord threw up the sponge. Ii admits that
free wool is not strong enough to carry
free silver. The confidence with which
it attributes the failure of its free wool
theory to some other persons free silver
theory would, If transferred to the money
market. revive business even in these free
trade times. Says the Record:
''The distrust engendered by the sill
yer craze has checked sales of manu-
featured goods. increased the percent
age of idle mills and so narrowed the
outlet and crippled the financial re-
sources of Eastern distributors of wool
that the latter have practically ceased
purchases of the staple in the country
markets. and in many cases have re-
fused TO make even reduced cash adj
vances on consignments."
The silver craze did not materialize
until free wool had had nearly three
years in which to show what IL could
do. During all that time the wool in
dustry went from bad to worse. Now
the people are asked to believe that
free silver did all the mschief.-St. Jo-
scph MOI Herald.
