One of tho most dangerous habits people can indulge in, says an ex- change, IS that of lying in bed. Nine tenths of the deaths occur in bed. Nearly one half of all those who are murdered die in bed. It is while you are in bed that your house is robbed and your chickens are stolen. It's while you are in bed that the bugs get in their work and bad dreams haunt you. Therefore, dear reader, never go to bed.

FARMERS SHOULD coNsIpER.

Farmers who think that free silver
will help them get rid Of their mort
cages should consider carefully what
effect a 16 to / law will have on the
lenders of capital. Aa soon as it becomes
liaeIy that a free coinage law will be
euaoted there will undoubtedly be q
general demand that oil mortgages shall
at once be paid in full Where, then,
when this demand comes upon the
farmer, will he get the money to meet
the demand and save his farmf Does
any farmer believe that the man who
has money to loan will let dollar Of 1t
leave his hands while there is posi-
bility Of his his being repaid in 30 cent
dollars? And If the farmer cannot raise
money to pay his mortgage, his home
and farm will be sold at a sacrifice and
taken from him. Where will he be
then?

OF Interest
To Farmers
SAVE FALL CHICKENS.

SAVE FALL CHICKENS.
Stolen broods which come out Of the
weeds during September and October
will be profitable, If cared for. They
get good start while seeds and insects
are plentiful. For protection when
cold days come, attach large dry
goods box to the south side Of some
outbuilding, arranging it SO that the
chickens can have liberty, but SO the
hen can be confined. Cover the entire
front, except the space occupied by
the two lower boards, with screen wire.
Removing the first let's the chickens
out. Take off both, and the hen has
her liberty. When the weather is
stormy, cover the whole with old car
pet or some kind of blanket. On
pleasant days, the hen and chickens
can roam at will. When cool tempera-
lures arrive, confine the hen, but give
the chickens liberty. During snowy
weather, coop up both hen and chick
ems, and feed we'll. With such treat
ment these chickens grow almost as
rapidly as in the summer. In the
early spring they will bring a fancy
price in the market, to say nothing of
their value for home consumption.

In some localities in the middle states
hog cholera is again seriously prevail
ent. The loss is a great hardship this
year, as farmers find it difficult to meet
obligations, with the best Of luck. We
again call attention to the greater i'm
portance of keeping the animals in
clean, comfortable quarters and pro-
viding them with pure water and
wholesome food. Some condiment,
such as wood charcoal, ordinary BIZ
luminous coal, salt and sulpher,
should be kept before them all the
time. A number Of breeders repor t
that where hogs ran in orchards with
plenty of shade and apples, not a sick
animal was noticed. Hogs equally as
vigorous, turned into lot Of stubble
field or pasture with corn diet and
no shade, quickly succumbed. Pump
kins make an excellent addition to the
fall ration. Apples are SO plentiful in
many states that these can be fed quite

FEEDING FOR PROFIT.

1t is difficult for the poor farmer to
comprehend the value Of high feeding.
But the successful farmer who has an
abundance of corn, oats, barley, wheat
and rye grinds his grains and feeds lib
orally. In the spring bis cattle come
out smooth and sleek and are sought
for by the butcher. The cows are In
condition to return large quantities Of
milk of better quality than that from
poorly fed animals. The manure is
also Of much greater value, and this
will not only increase the grain crops,
but also the grass on pastures and
meadows. This enables the farmer to
keep more stock. The profit from
high feeding is therefore fourfold, and
if judiciously practiced will certainly
pay.

GARFIELD'S WARNING.

His Utterance When Opposing Free Coin
age Twenty Years Ago.
Extract from speech delivered July l8 1870
In opposing the free coinage Of silver
President Garfield used the following
impressive words:
"MR. SPEAkER-I can hardly conceive
O situation in which the house could be
brought more directly face to face with
what seems to present on the one hand
public honor and Oh the other the deep
est public disgrace.
"It has happened in the fiuctuation
Of these metals that there is now nota-
bic opportunity to cheat 1000, 600 men
by adopting tho baser metal as the
standard of payment and thus ACCOM-
plish swindle Oil SO great scale as to
make the achievement illustrious. By
the proposed measure one-fifth of the
enormous aggregate public and private
debts can be wiped out with sponge.
This nation owes 50, 100, 600, 900, and
Lriyate citizens Of the United States
probably owe 81, 800, 600, 600, possibly
more. At the present moment the rela-
tion of the debtor and creditor in the
United States involves nearly 5,000,-
900, 600. 1t is proposed by the amend
ment of the gentleman from Indiana
that at one fell stroke one-fifth of all
this enormous sum shall be wiped Off
repudiated-and that the process shall
be called honest legislation. Since I
have been in public life l have never
known any proposition that contained
SO many clements Of vast rascality, of
colossal swindlihg as this.
Gentlemen may remember the finan-
ciaI shock Of 1887. the later shock of
1857 and the still later shock in 1878.
Conceive them all in one vast crash,
and the financial ruin, the overthrow OF
business would be light in comparison
with tho shock which would follow.
"Put in operation the provision now
suggested, and all our gold coin will
leave tire country as fast as it can be
carried abroad. Do this, and revolu-
ton in our monetary aff.irs utterly un-
parallelcd il the history of our nation
would follow"
