DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
AS we have before called atten-
ton to this phase Of Americanism
we now resume by saying that we
must light the torches of indus
try and economy so as to
tide over during the interval in
which we hope congress to relieve
us by solitary finance measures.
In favor of diversified crops we
would say that anything beats
cotton mustard for example. We
have in our city party who con-
ducts a small garden. This party
planted one half his space con-
lsisting of Ia acrC III mustard
about two months ago, this
crop has grown without fur
thcr culture. Today in casting up
accounts we find this crop has
Melted So 90 cash beside the fam.
lily consumption. Allowing that
to equal 1-2 the sales, he has made
$500 on Is acre. Thus acre
would grow $24 worth of mustard
and be off in time to grow another
crop on the same ground. This
party makes two crops each year
independent of the mustard, on
same ground.
Yesterday we met friend who
remarked that he was advised tt
plant his IA acre lot in pumpkins
but did not think it would pay
We insisted on calculating and
found that 30 X 200 #. would, al
lowing 10 X 10 feet to the hill
give 5 rows of 20 hills each or 10(
hills. The friend stated that he
had a hill which bore 10 pumpkins
last year. We suggested to allow
half that amount would be con
SENTATIVE estimate. Well I0(
hills would give us 500 which re-
tails at loo each, but at ) they
would bring $50. 90, a rate of 500
per acre. Does that pay, either
IN food for table, hogs, cattle OF
oil.
OF all the crops raised, peas arc
the easiest. We have nothing al
all 10 do but TO plant them, wal,
till they grow and then gather
them. Yet we would rather buy
then, paying 4 to ) cents per pound
which equals $2.25 to 2.S5 per blu,
at retail. IL does not matter il
they were zoe per bushel, they
would not be cheap at that, when
You have not the soc to buy with,
We have gone away on the idea OF
buying. You say il is cheaper to
buy than 10 raise, but tits a mis-
take. Nothing is cheaper to
buy at any pliee, when you have
no money; than it is to raise when
you have plenty of time TO raise..it,
And that is the condition of -four
iifths of Us. oh you say that il
everyone adopted these plans, il
would result in over-production
and reduce the market price OF
these articles. What of that. il
could work no injury to you. In
ease you could find no customers
yoa could easily find willing con
suIncrs in the.shape of your hogs
horses aud cattle. This would
prove better feed than oak leaves
and stubble aud you could easily
fiud a market for your pork and
beef. Moreover this course would
result in lowering the price OF
provisions to your brothers, the
mechanics and tradesmen who are
forced 10 buy. Having plenty,
you would have nothing to buy,
only such as you could not raise
and for this your surplus crop
{cotton) would answer, while you
pocketed your cash beef and pork
receipts. More Anon.

intercepting Juniors going to class
party. Many fights occurred. Stu
dents were bruised and store windows
broken. The juniors gave q prome-
made and 200 under-classmen and
