TOPICS FOR FARMERS
A DEPARTMENT PREPARED FOR
OUR RURAL FRIENDS.
Farm Life Full of independent Com
fort-Be Cautious in Making Changes
Cultivate the Social Features of
Life on the Farm-Notes.
Full of Independence.

We believe the farmer, who produces
the good things of earth, is entitled
to enjoy them to the full extent of his
need. Farm life is potentially very
full of Independent comfort, but only
upon condition that the farmer shall
devote a fair share of his time to the
task of making himself and family
comfortable. 1t is surprising. when
one thinks of it, how very little of the
necessities of life the farmer is obliged
to buy, as compared with the amount
that he actually does buy. He might
have a table covered with fruits, veg
etables and meats, all grown within
the limits of his own farm, and of a
quality and freshness that is not pos
sible with the people living in towns
and cities Like all good things, 1t re-
quires some effort to do this, and yet
it is easily possible. The garden is one
point; the orchard, of both tree-fruits
and small-fruits, is another, and his
own feed lot is still another, of the
sources of liberal supply. They ought
to be cultivated and made the most of.

Be Cautious.

Improvement is needed in every d.
rection. But experience has taught
the most of us that many things are
not what they seem. 1t is, therefore,
the part of wisdom to be cautious in
making changes-especially as regards
seeds. Be sure they are adapted to
your soil and climate; do not take an
others ''say so," but know for your
SELF Many expensive mistakes may
thus be avoided. This is one of the
principles of successful management.

Ripening Tomatoes Under Cover.

Ripening Tomatoes Under Cover.
If tomato vines are pulled up as soon
as the first frost touches them and
thrown under an open shed where fur
ther freezing will be prevented, the
fruit that was green when the vines
were pulled will slowly ripen from the
sap furnished by the stem. We have
sometimes put such tomato vines in a
corner of the cellar, where the ripening
went forward until midwinter. There
are many who like tomatoes cut and
sliced with sugar and vinegar as dress
ing. By this means those who have
vines with green tomatoes on can pro-
long their season, for two or three
months, If they have enough greel
vines to experiment with.-Ex.

syrup from Waterme1ors.


It was the wish of an old friend OF
ours, many years ago, that she could
have syrup made from watermelons.
She was sure it would be very delicious.
But, unfortunately, all the watermelons
the garden produced had each year 9th
er and more important uses than to
have their juices boiled down into
syrup. But an Iowa farmer. who grows
watermelons by the acre., anc cannot
market all he produces. has tried the
plan of using some of his surplus for
syrup making. The result is a very
clear syrup, with peculiar but decidedly
pleasant flavor. 1t is not. however.

To Rebuild at Once--A Destructive
 Blaze.
 A big ice house owned by Burton Dickerman and located on Fountain street, Westville, was destroyed by an incendiary fire at o'clock Saturday morning The building was half filled with ice and was considered the most costly ice house in the state. It was erected last spring. MT. Dickerman is quite certain that the fire was of incen- diary origin. The fire broke out at both ends of the building and had a good headway when discovered. MT. Dickerman tried to call the New Ha- ven fire department by telephone, but discovered that something was wrong with the instrument. It was found that the wire had been cut, probably by the party or parties who started the fire The telephone was i'll working order Friday night, and it is supposed was cut for the purpose eof preventing MT. Dickerman from summoning aid from the city
 The loss is estimated at about S20,- 900; partly covered by insurance.

There were 5000 tons in the house. When full 1t holds 15,000 tons.
 It was raining heavily while the fire was raging and this is believed to have saved several of the dwellings, in the vicinity, as the air was filled with sparks, many of which fell on the roofs of houses a quarter of mile distant.
 Mir Dickernlan has commenced the work of clearing away preparatory to rebuilding the ice house. The police are Investigating, but no arrests have been made yet

 Canton, O., July 25, 1896. Clarence w. Bowen, Esq:
 My Dear Mir. Bowen: I noto with much satisfaction that the republicans of Woodtsock intend to be among the first to start the campaign ball rolling Our friends must not datter themselves that the republican party has an easy task before It. I have no doubt what ever as to success, but in order to make the victory thorough and emphatic, there is need of earnest, persistent, and intelligent work. Probably never in the history of the republican party has there been a great necessity for cam palgn of education and organization.
 Very truly yours,
 WILLIAM MCKINLEY. The reading of the letter was received with loud cheers.

AMERICAN IRON SOLD IN EUROPE

AMERICAN IRON SOLD IN EUROPE
 Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 22.-It devel- oped here to-day that frequent ship ments of Alabama iron have been made lately to Liverpool and other European cities, through the ports of Mobile and New Orleans. Liverpool and Genoa, Italy, have been the largest buyers. It is claimed by prominent iron men that the parity of prices in Europe and Ann erica has been destroyed by the con- tinuous agitation of the silver ques- tion and lack of confidence thus pro- duced, and that iron can now be sold for better price abroad than at home, especially as there is almost no de- mand for home consumption. Specu- lators who are buying tp hold for bet ter prices are reported to be the only home purchasers.

Thirty-two in the City-Where Most
 Prevalent.
 The number of typhoid fever cases re- reported for August is now thirty two The board of health map shows that the disease Is most prevalent in the Fourth ward, where there are sixteen cases. There are six cases in the Twelfth ward and three in the Elev- enth. Health Officer Wright believes there are number of cases of the disease not yet reported The difficulty physicians have in the making of an accurate diagnosis of typhoid fever in the eraly stages of the malady and the attending delay in reports accounts for this in measure. The average per day has incrased from one and half to two and with next month, the fever month, almost here, and still not let up in the fever, there Is ground for grave fears that q large number of deaths will ensue unless the most rigid sani- tary rules are put into operation.

The Land of Prosperity and Plenty What the Manufacturers Re cord Says of the Southern
 States.

Mir. k. H. Edmonds, the editor of the Manufacturers Record, 8 com mercial journal of high authority, has this to say with reference to the progress of the Southern States dur ing the past year:
 "The revival of the iron business during 1895 put into operation many idle furnaces, made a heavy increase in the output of coal and iron ore, and at the close of the year the pro duction of iron and the output of coal are at a heavier rate than at any former time in the history of the South With all of it's iron and kindred interests on a basis now acknowledged throughout the world of the most solid and enduring char acter, the future of these industries in the South is far more promising than during the boom period of a few years past, when the world at large had not comprehended the magnitude and solidity of the metal lurgical interests of the South. At the close of the year arrangements are now completed for blowing in several other furnaces which have been undergoing repairs and in the early part of the new year the already heavy production of iron in the South will be materially in creased.
 Cotton mill building in the South in 1895 was phenomenal. The aggre- gate number of spindles for new mills undertaken during the year and for enlargements of old mills was, in round numbers, about one million, or probably twice as great as ever before recorded in one year. During the year the South's pre- eminent advantages for this indus try were for the first time fully and completely admitted by the foremost textile authorities of the world. In round numbers the South has now, including mills in operation and those under construction, or for which the money has been raised,
