the younger miners.
Senator Sherman has outlived all but

has noticed the fact that Miss Braddon,

therefore, made copy enough for six

years.

A bit of borax, the size of small pea,

live QUESTIONS.
FREELAND TRIBUNE.
IN THE

Commencing with Monday,
February 10, 1896, and continu-
ing through the year, the TRI-
BUNE proposes to publish a
series of able articles upon
subjects of vital and general
interest to our readers. Emil
nent thinkers and writers of
national reputation on Social,
Economic and Industrial Prob
lens have promised contribu-
tions upon topics of universal
interest. The list of authors,
and the comprehensive group
of olive Questions" that will
be treated by them, can be
seen on this page, and will, we
confidently believe, merit the
hearty interest of readers who
are already interested in these
themes, and are anxious to
receive the most rational opin-
ions obtainable.
All articles will be prepared
in an inquiring and scientific
spirit, and will be non-sectional
and non-partisan. Vigor and
simplicity of statement will be
aimed at, and all phases of re-
form thought will be fairly and
impartially presented. Upon
subjects about which there is a
variety of candid opinions, all
sides will receive an equal OPP
portunity to be heard, that the
truth may, if possible, be ar
rived at.
This is the first cooperative
attempt upon the part of able
writers to thoroughly discuss
all the interesting phases of
social and industrial life for
the masses who would be the
beneficiaries of substantial re-
forms, and the arrangements
made by the TRIBUNE give us
the sole privilege of publishing
the articles in this town. They
can be read in no other Free
land paper, and those of our
readers who are not subscribers
should have their names placed
on the list without delay.

MINES AND MINING,

The gold exports from British Gui-
tna for the first ten months IF 1895 are
reported to be 99,416 ounces, valued at
$1,763,31
A large gold-bearing vein is reported
to have been found near Moose lake,
16 miles from Philipsburg, Granite
county, Mon.
Advices from Juneau, Alaska, say
that good showing has been made in
the Bald Eagle this summer, both in
the mine and in the expense of hand
ling and milling the ore, which has
been greatly reduced.
A good strike is reported at the
Thorpe mine at a depth of 300 feet.
The ore is said to average $50 free gold,
while the sulphurets are very rich. The
mine is in Calaveras county, Cal, about
one mile south of the Calayeras mine.

FACTS FOR FARMERS,

1t Is claimed that five times as much
fruit of the first-class quality was
yielded by secliel pear trees at the New
York station that were sprayed twice
after blossoming, as by the unsprayed
The bordeaux mixture was used to pre-
vent pear scab.
If the farmer had something to sell
every month in the year, either of crops
or stock, he would find 1t less difficult
to manage on limited capital. Cows
and poultry bring in daily returns, and
farmers who make speciality of milk.
butter and eggs are usually prosperous
1t has been demonstrated during the
year that one bushel of wheatwill make
13 pounds of pork. Allowing five cents
per pound for the pork, the wheat will
return 65 cents per bushel. The item
of manure must be considered also, as
1t should more than pay for the labor
Ewes whose lambs are weaned late
in the fail are not so liable to udder
troubles as when the feed is rank and
abundant. If it be necessary to wean
ewes in large milk, see to it that thcy
have poor feed for q week, and milk
them two or three times, As hours
apart.
The yearly growth of so apple trees
upon an acre of ground is worth $50.
at very low estimate. At bearing age
good tree will make good dividend
upon such value. Considering the
earning power of an acre, the orchard
should be given credit for more worth
than is usually the case.
Fruit growing promises a good re-
ward in the near future. An increas.
ing export demand affords market for
selected products. Evaporation is a
recognized auxiliary, and affords an
outlet for the sulplusage and the de-
fective fruit. Horticulture is not ex-
tending as rapidly as our increase i'll
population.
The Indiana experiment station finds
that, other things being equal, steers
fed on cut clover hay will make bet
ter growth than those fed on the whole
hay, and in their experiment of 100
days the grain was nearly two per cent.
A slight amount of exercise was found
beneficial during the fattening process.

Extravaga ce of the Senate.

Senator Chandler has done the public a
valuable service by directing attention to
the enormous running expenses OF the body
of which he is member. He has no refer
ence, of course, To the salaries and the mile
age OF Senators. which amounts to nearly
half million dollars annually, but to the
other expenses. which during the present
fiscal year aggregated nearly $65O,00O,
and for the preceding twelve months almost
100000. This last named amount is
but 100000 less than the total appropri-
alton for the military and naval academies.
The New Hampshire Senator points out
that there are about four employees to every
member of the upper branch of Congress.
and asks what necessity there is for fifty
seven messengers and fifty-two Iaborers.
1t is altogether probable that Senator
Chandler, who says he does not know
exactly in what pla zee there is eXtraya gance.

their quota of choice information from

Dollar Gas in Sight.

Notwithstanding the numerous attempts
to delay action on the gas question. dollar
gas is plainly in sight, and through the
agitation commenced by The Times en-
grcss Will legislate ii TO tie Tuhiic before
the adjournment of the present session.
The House District Committee seems to
have gone to- the bottom of the subject,
and through a = careful Investigation
has asccrtaiFed that dollar gas can be
manufactured and sold in Washington with
more than n reasonable profit. This
fact was developed through these columns
several months ago, and it is pleasing
10 note that the committee has reached
the same conclusion.
The point next to he decided by Congress
is whether t. would be most advisable to
contract with the present company to sup
ply the District with cheaper gas or TO
allow new corporation to establish a
plant for that purpose. TO those most ia
miiiar with tbe Subject there can be no
discussion. 1t would be'ucXt to idiotiC TO
