Elevated Lands Escnpe Frost.

The side or top of a moderate hill will
escape frosts that will destroy the vege-
tation below. The reason Is that as
the cold slowly settles down from
above, 1t forces the warm air in the
valley up the hillsides until the valley
Is completely filed with cold air. If tho
valley be enclosed, so that there can be
little wind blowing through 1t, the cold
will continue until the sunlight sends
down heat enough to cause the cold air
to rise, just as 1t does in chimney
when a bright fire Is made In stove or
fireplace in the morning after the stove
and chimney have been cold through
the night.

ASCfrcular Addition Tor Plants.

be provided by building an addition to
the sunny side Of the dwelling house.

Silver In India.

0AANCH III Anotas
A stock argument Of the silverites Is
that the opening Of the United States
minis to the free coinage Of silver
would at once raise the bullion value Of
the coined dollars to their face value.
They attribute the lessened market
value Of silver to the law Of 1878, in
stead Of to the increased production Of
silver, and pretend to believe that this
market value can be increased by leg
islation. The argument Is false. 1t Is
not even specious. Let us look at the
experience Of India. The effect Of the
suspension Of silver coinage in that
country presents an unanswerable ar
gument against the truth Of the Popu-
LIST contention.
Although the Indian minis under free
coinage absorbed about one-third of the
annual silver product Of the world, the
government Of India was quite unable
70 prevent the steady depreciation Of
the rupee. Since the closing of the
Indian minis the rupee has gradually
advanced in value from 1852
pence In April, 1894, until within the
last few weeks India council bills have
been sold in London at nearly 16 pence
in gold to the rupee, or at rate Of
about 33 per cent. above their bullion
value.
This value is based upon the credit Of
The Indian Government and the de-
mand upon limited supply Of rupees
for legitimate monetary uses. The at
tempt of the Indian Government by
legislative fiat to make II pence worth
OF silver equal in value to "a pence in
gold ended in dismal failure.

Silver in tho Bible.

A careful examination of the CONNER
cial transactions mentioned In the
Bible will show that silver was nearly
always paid over by weight as bull
lion, and the reprehensible practice OF
making the shekel great and falsify-
ing the balances by deceit" Is severely
condemned. There are few Instances
mentioned In the Bible where silver
money is counted, the betrayal of Christ
for thirty pieces being the most prom
inent.
Under the free coinage Of silver the
laboring man Of the present day VIII
be settled with as were the old-time
Hebrews, on the basis ,of the market
value Of the bullion. Zachariah says
they weighed for his price thirty pieces
of silver, and the wage-earners will
have a similar experience. When Can
didate Bryan's silver age dawns upon
the Industrial world, the "tolling mass
es" will practically receive their COM
pensation "by weight. kansas City

Premium on Gold.

1t Is not true, Of course, that under
free coinage one can compel dealer
to supply more goods for gold money
than for silver, or that one can force
a creditor to accept fewer gold dollars
than the number written in the con-
tract. The truth is, on the other hand,
that most dealers and creditors will
be willing to do so. The reasons are
we'll nigh obvious. One hundred dol
lars in gold contain 4.S375 ounces of
pure gold. This pure gold is exchang-
able in the market at the present time
for 145.4152 ounces Of pure silver, and
this pure silver will make under free
coinage $1SS.01.
Thus, whether ones dealer or ones
creditor will grant premium upon
gold or not, professional money deal
ers will. No one who understands the
situation will, under those conditions,
use gold at par. A theoretical double
standard will be a practical silver
standard.-Pawtucket OR. - Times.

dollars, or not 90 many BY 100000 -
were coined from Jan. to July IN
this year.
And never during the whole period
did gold and silver circulate freely to-
,gether as equal money. What reason
has Mr.. Bryan for his "firm Conviction
that they will do so now under FREQ
coinage, when the difference In the
commercial ratio IL far greater than at
any time during the period from 1884
to 1873?
Effect Of Silver ON Railroad Rm ployes.
We ask railway employees to consider
the following points: -@e
The railroads of the United States
pay $400. 100000 year In wages.
They have outstanding bonds
amounting to $5,OOO 100000. These
bonds, principal and interest, are pay
in gold.
At the present time the railroads are
receiving in payment for their freight
and passenger transportation 100-cent
dollars. With these 10O-cent dollars
they are enabled to pay not only their
bonds and interest in gold, but wages
as well in gold values.
Under free coinage every one who
bought passenger ticket from a rail-
way or shipped freight on It would pay
the company in silver. The company's
whole earnings would be In silver.
But the railways must pay their
bonds and interest In gold. They would
be compelled to buy gold with their
silver earnings at a premium Of 100 per
cent. Therefore, the payment Of the
bonds and interest would take twice
as much of their earnings as are now re-
quired to pay them.
When the railroads were using So Of
their earnings, instead Of one as now;
to pay 81 of bonds and interest, where
would the men who work for the rail-
roads come in? The railways could nOe
increase their earnings, because their
freight and passenger rates are fixed
by law.
Nevertheless, they would have to pay
their bonds and interest In gold. To do
this, since they could not increase their
earnings, they would be compelled to
cut down wages. The additional money.
needed to buy gold at premium Of 100
per cent. for the payment Of bonds and
interest would come out Of wages.
Tens Of thousands Of railway en-
ployes would be discharged outright be-
cause the companies, after paying their
bonds and interest in gold, would not
be able to pay the total Of wages which
they now pay. Furthermore, those en-
ployes who were not discharged would
have their wages reduced and the
money which was paid to them, being
silver, would buy only half what the
money which they now receive will
buy.-New York Press.

Do not try to be fancier before you
know how to be a common poultry
man.
Have your nests on the ground. If
they are nailed to the walls the fowls
will roost on them and befoul the litter.
If you keep ducks let them be Pekin.
This breed gives the largest number Of
eggs, and the most pounds of meat for
feed consumed.
A cure for scaly legs in fowls is to
make a mixture of lard and kerosene
oil, equal parts of each, and rub 1t well
over the legs, of each fowl affected,
The disease Is caused by a parasite.
When you start your poultry plant
don't try to show your neighbors what
a big display you can make. Rather
begin small and grow gradually. II
will do you more credit to show that
you have built up a gigantic affair than
that you were able to build 1t all "in a
day."
One of the principal secrets In yard
ing Leghorns is'to avoid long, narrow
enclosure. A square one Is much bet
ter. Then IL you wish to enter the
yard, the fowls have an opportunity to
keep out of your way, and there is less
danger Of unconsciously driving them
into corner and forcing them to fly.
The Apiary.
The formation Of new colonies should
be confined to the season when bees are
accommodating honey.
One Of the best paints for the hive Is
made by mixing white lead and white
zinc with raw oil.
1t Is a mistake to make a practice of
extracting honey before II Is ripe. It
can be refined artificially, but the natu-
raj way Is best.
Feeding In autumn Is done to stimu-
late brood rearing; also for the purpose
Of supplying colonies that are short Of
food with a supply that they can seal
for winter.
A colony may be very weak, but II 1t
possesses laying queen and brood It
will protect large surplus of honey. II
It Is destitute Of brood and a queen It
will not protect Its stores.
A good fall flow of honey always
places the bees In the best possible con-
ditIon for wintering. without such a
fall dow 1t is next to impossible to have
the bees in proper condition to 60 into
the winter without feeding.

A recent frost.in Maine destroyed full
1y two-thirds of the sweet corn crop
near the West Pennington canneries.
The result Is that not more than 100000
cans OF corn will be put up instead Of
the $4,000 cans that were expected. A
few days earlier planting Of this crop
on well-prepared ground would have
saved the whole. 1t Is thus somewhere

enacted, the statistics show that the
United states 1 1san 'r h;s s sa ~
and down-trodden people had $2,217. 0OO,-
600; but owing to free trade, tariff for

was piled away. The plain thing to do
is to start that 1921, 100000 on its
rounds. 1t can be done by opening up
millions work; and in no other way.

ry To Make Cows Give Down Milk.

~ To Make Cows Give Down Milk.
A cow that Is angered or worried
about anything will lessen her milk
yield, and will hold 1t up as much AZ
she can. The secret Of successful milk
ing Is to make the cow as contented as
possible. 1t is good plan at all times
to have some extra feed for the COW to
eat while she Is being MIXED. Then
IL the milking is done properly, that
also gives pleasurable sensation and
will cause the cows muscles to relax
so that the last drop Of milk may be ex-
,tracted. This Is necessary to keep up
the yield. If, through worry, the cow is
allowed to hold up her milk, II will be
absorbed. The COW will soon run to
fat and be worthless for dairy pur-
poses.
:, Green Grape Preserves.
Nothing can be done with green
grapes without plenty Of sugar. Even
ahe ripened grapes are mostly very
sour when cooked and require more
eweetening than other fruit. But the
1ld-fashioned way Of putting up pre-
serves, a pound Of sugar for n pound Of
fruit, makes an excellent preserve Of
The pulp Of green grapes. The skin and
eecds should be first removed, and then
the result will be thick jelly with a
different flavor than ripened grapes
preserved the same way, and by some
preferred to the ripened-grape product.

What 10 to I Has Never Done.
1t has never kept gold and silver at
a parity.
1t has never once given us, under free
coinage, practical bimetalllsm-that Is,
the concurrent circulation of gold and
silver.
The ratio of 16 to 1 was adopted in
1884. 1t represented the then CONNER
cial ratio, the market values of the two
metals.

tion Of this ratio and mp to 1874 there

Mrs. Newton Grassland. whom the
count once took into dinner, remarked
that his hands, Charge, white and appa1-
emily soft, had not the physiognomy
which pleases the critical observer and
student of hands, for they indicated
self indulgence" He struck her, more
over, as being ''mannish rather than
manly, and yet with a touch OF effem-
macy quite different from that mi
like tenderness which adds to the excel
lence of man." Thackeray met the
splendid humbug in 1850 and describes
him as Giving in n charming a%telier,
which he has fitted up for himself with
arms and trophies, pictures and looking
glasses, the tomb of Blessington, the
sword and star Of Napoleon, and IA cru
cifx over his bed. And here he dwells,"
writes the cynic, "without any doubts
or remorses admiring himself in the
most horrible pictures which he has
painted, and statues which he gets done
for him."
The count had received within 10
months of his marriage Il sum of &C.,
600, while Lord Blessington arranged
that after his decease n similar sum
should be settled upon him for life. So
generous a dower-a genuine pretium
quellI, as it ~was-might have made
him kindly disposed toward his child
wife, who, three years after her mar
riage. when she had reached the age of
10 grew to be "a remarkably handsome
woman. Not for her was the brilliant
VIII" and "wOnderful fascination"
which made D'Orsay the pet of society.
That was reserved for others.
''Instead of being the wife Of her hus-
band and the mistress Of her home, she
found herself "a supernumerary in a cir
lie with which she had no sympathy.
Disagreements followed, rebellion set
in, and in the autumn of 1881 she and
Count d'Orsay separated by mutual
Observation-Disclosures.
