FAVORABLE STATEMENT.
Banks Surprised Those Expecting a
Poor Showing


Poor Showing.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The New
York Ffnancier says this week: "The
statement Of the clearing house banks
Of New York for the week ending Aug.
~ came as an agreeable surprise after
the gloomy forecasts which had been
made as to the decrease of reserve.
The actual decrease in reserve was

deposits, which was the logical effect
of the contraction in loans and the
withdrawal Of funds to the West and
South. the movement toward these two
points continuing in undiminished
volume. The continued demand for
money from these centers. of course,
makes it necessary for the banks to
call in outstanding loans, and the
statement shows that this was what
prevented much heavier loss in re-
serves. In fact. the position of the
banks Is as strong as 1t was one week
ago. as they have taken full meas
ures to protect themselves, but as
money is badly needed, the issues of
clearing house certificates, if decided
upon at meeting to be held Monday.
will come as a relief to the mercantile
world. AS the banks hold on an aver
age their full rs per cent reserve, they
are In a position, perhaps, to postpone
this move, but, on the other hand, an
expansion Of credit at this time might
prevent unfortunate liquidation. The
import of nearly 100000 of gold. IL
followed by additional shipments,
would have the same effect The bank
note expansion now going on cannot be
made heavy enough to answer the
full purpose. In view of the plain
purpose of certificates at this time.

think that their issue would be fol-
lowed by cash Withdrawals or hoard

The extent of the shrinkage which
has been going on this season can be

CERTIFICATES DESIRED.
Pressure Brought to Bear ON Clear
ing House Banks

NEW YORK, Aug. PA meeting
of the clearing house committee Of as
ISOLATED banks will be held on Mon
day to consider applications for loan
certificates. The committee is op-
posed to the issuing of certificates,
believing such action uncalled for by
existing financial and commercial con-
ditions. This view is not generally en-
tertained in financial circles. At the
rate Of the depression of $685. when
the stringency in money compelled
measures for the importation of gold,
there were outstanding $33, O0O, 900 of
clearing house certificates. The issue
at this time would, it is believed,
greatly facilitate imports of gold, and
would alleviate distress in mercantile
circles.

Bouck's candidacy flor governor, on
the free silver ticket. Gen. Bragg de-
clares that Bouck is a physical cow
ard and that his declarations that he
will be a candidate are mere wind
and moonshine. Gen, Bragg says that
it is not the silver question that has
made Bouck and himself at odds with
each other, but rather Bouck's insult
ing manners. Bouck may, it is thought,
challenge Bragg to fight duel. They
live within twenty miles of each other.

Farmers should experiment.

Agricultural Improvement in the past
has been greatly retarded by the inability
Of the largo majority of farmers to make
accurate and careful experiments, says
the American Cultivator. The severe la
Dor which farm life involves has been a
bar to the intellectual Improvement which
is needed TO advance civilization in any
direction. The energies of both mind and
body have been absorbed in the effort to
secure bare subsistence King Solomon
recognized this fact with regard to farm
ers in the proverb: How shall he get wis
dom whose talk is of oxen?" 1t was
cynical proverb originally, and like all
cynicism II shows only half the truth.
Dull and methodical as much of farm
life is, it had always the great advantage
of placing the farmer close to nature. He
may be wearied after his days toll and
unable to properly improve all his oppor-
tunities; but dealing with nature, as the
farmer is always doing, he is obliged TO
learn many of natures ways. Living also
life of helpfulness to the world the
farmer fulfills a necessary relation to his
fellow men, and this is the beginning of
wisdom. The average farmer might well
retort on the ancient Jewish king, re-
puted the wisest of mankind, that seek
ing only self qualification as he had done,
his life, considering its great opportuni-
ties, had resulted only in failure. Vanity
of vanities, all is vanity" exclaimed this
wise Jewish king in his old age. No
farmer living a life of usefulness to his
fellow men has ever had occasion to make
such lamentable confession as this.
1t is true however that in modern farm
life so much of the hardest labor formerly
performed by human muscle is now left
to the horse the OK or to steam power
that there is less occasion for severe man
ual toll This benefit has, however, been
| largely gained by the consumer of the far
mers products in lower prices of food.
AS the labor saving implements enable one
man to do the work of three or four, it is
| possible to cultivate larger areas, so the
farmer has not much, if any, more time
| than he had before. 1t is not by new i'm
| provements in labor-saving implements
| that farmers will hereafter be most ben
| Fitted 1t is getting out of old ruts in
methods of cultivation and in selecting
new crops that the progressive farmer will
aim at 1t is true the experiment stations
| do a. great deal of this work, and many of
their bulletins are extremely valuable. But
| the circumstances under which these eX-
periments are made cannot be exactly
| duplicated by any one farmer. The conclu-
sions of the station are only hints and
suggestions, which it behooves every far
mer to profit by, not with servile imlta-
| ton, but by making such changes as his
own soil and surroundings will suggest.

PLANTING POTATOES.
Modern Machinery Used by Experts
for Cutting and Planting the Tu-
bers.

In planting potatoes. either for home
use or for market, the first essential is
well drained, rich plat of land. field
which has been two years in clover is
usually the best To this apply heavy
dressing of we'll rotted barnyard manure.
Break the sod in the fall or the winter
or inches deep; then in spring turn it
over to a depth of s or inches and cut up
thoroughly with disk harrow, continu-
ing the operation until the sed bed is we'll
fined and in the best condition. Use a
smoothing harrow to compact it sufficient
ly. so that it will not be dried out unduly.
The old method of hand planting will
probably continue as the standard process
for the general farmer who cultivates but
a small patch for his own use. The pota-
toes are cut by hand to two eyes, drop
ned in rows feet apart, with the hills IS
inches apart in the row If they are to
be plowed one way and ~ to feet apart
IL they are to be cultivated crosswise.
Checking. however, is hardly ever neces-
sary except where the land is very foul.
says American Agricultural authority
for the foregoing. This authority also
has the following to say concerning COM
mercial planting:
For commercial planting hand processes
are entirely too slow, consequently IN
ventors have constructed machines both
for cutting the potatoes into suitable sized
pieces and for planting them. There is
also on the market a machine which cuts
the seed and at the same time does the
planting This is a hand potato cutter
that does the work of eight persons. The
number of knives can be decreased so as
to make larger pieces of it, or can be in
creased and smaller pieces obtained. This
machine can also be used for cutting
beets, turnips, carrots and other roots
for stock feed.
Machines for planting potatoes at the
rate OF four to eight acres per day are
no longer an experiment, and the best
are familiar TO readers through adver-
tisements One man only IS needed to
operate the machine that plants cut seed,
while the automatic cutter and planter
REQUIRES a man and boy. These imple-
ments open the furrow, drop the seed and
any desired amount and kind of fertilizer,
and cover evenly with soil to a uniform
depth, bringing an even stand. A marker
indicates the next row and keeps the
rows straight One of these machines
soon saves its cost on a farm where po-
tatoes are grown to any extent, while
one can do much custom planting. and
make money while saving expense for his
customers. In these days OF close mar
gins on the potato crop II is necessary to
study every possible detail to produce the
least expense.

The Causes of Rust and blight.

There is no disaster to the crops which
in times past farmers have more dreaded
than rust, says the American Cultivator.
ON grain crops dt is especially to be dread
ed even vet. because there seems no way
to surely avoid it. The rust always comes
to the grain that is most thrifty, or IN
other words, is fullest of sap, and ITS
growth is greatly increased by the warm
moist weather that most favors the deVel-
opment of plant food. The warm rains
and cloudy weather favor the rust also
in another way as they lessen the abliity
of the leaves of the plan to absorb car
homie acid gas from the air, ana thus
keep it in good condition. with the SKY
obscured and the leaves covered with
water, the absorption of the carbon from
the air ceases, just as the lungs OF AMI
mails might be expected to suffer when
they are filled with water. At the same
time the plant whose breathing appara-
tus is thus clogged up finds that the
moist, warm weather supplies the plant
with abundance of sap, because these con-
ditions favor rapid fermentation in the
soil.
The result is that the great amount of
heterogeneous plant food made available by
rains sends upward through the roots SO
much sap that the plant Is gorged Win
food which 1t cannot properly asslmllate'
1t suffers much as an animal might 90
from overeating. If there is bright sum
shine the sap is charged with carbon, and
vegetable matter is built up. But if there
is cloudy weather, and especially If there
are rains, so that the leaves are wet
much of the time, they cannot perform
their office, and the raw sap sent up by
the roots furnishes sap, which instead OF
adding to the vegetable fibre merely
H. rrTn1p
not have the solidity and hrmness tnat
new growth should have.
Sometimes this gorged condition Is pro-
duced in trees by too severe pruning
throwing all the sap drawn up from the
soil by the roots into few buds, whlch
put forth what are known as sap sprouts
a soft porous growth that is especially
liable to fungus disease. 1t is well known
that very severe pruning of the pear pre-
disposes it to blight, though this may De
caused in part by exposure OF its sap 10
germs Of blight that may be floating In the
air.
The rusting Of grain is every year the
cause of great injury to crops. as the grain
affected Is always shrunken and some-
times made entirely unstable. If 1t be lack
of carbonic acid gas, a partial preventive
may be found on sowing lime, which, by
Stacking as II Is wet, will increase the pro-
portion of carbonic acid gas in the atmos-
phere where IL Is placed. All kind OF min
eral manures are excellent TO make bright
straw and plump grain. Probably as the
mineral is dissolved in the soil and taken
up by the roots. IT, to some extent OBJ
structs too free flow of sap, and thus pre-
vents the engagement OF cells which gives
fungus its chance to do injury. Or 1t may
be that the mineral, especially potash
makes with the carbon which the leaves
supply a larger growth OF firm straw,
which cannot so easily be over supplied
with sap. 1t is easy IA advance, even be-

Peaches In the South.

w. d. Griffing of Baker county. Flor
ida, established a peach orchard of fifteen
acres in the early part of 1894. The land
was ordinary pine land, freshly cleared.
The varieties of peaches planted were
Waldo Climax, Oviedo, Imperial and
Florida Gem. Medium-sized trees from
June buds on native Seeding stocks were
used. The rows were thirty feet apart
and tree set every (712) seven and a halt
feet in the row, the rows running north
and south. At this distance apart there
were 1893 trees to each acre.
The cost of clearing the land and get
ting it in proper shape for planting the
trees is set down at $500. The 1886 trees
necessary to plant the fifteen acres cost.
at cents each, $2O2.75. The planting of
the trees cost $50. Fertilizers and cult
walton for two years brought the total
cost up to $500.
In eighteen months from the time of
planting he received $500 (neD from the
shipment of peaches (season of '95). This
past season the net returns amounted to
81, 2H.90; total of 81, 74 for the two years.
Mr. Griffing expects this orchard to net
him 500 per acre for a number of years
yet.
These trees are set remarkably close
in the row, and doubtless will have to
be thinned out in a year or so.

some time, or rather the printer makes
them, with the aid of the types. In last

Hints About the Horse.

In cleaning them, if they will not stand
the curry comb well, get five or ten cent
brush made of broom corn, used for scrub
bling in the house; they are very stiff.
writes ]. w. Palmer. If horses are troubled
with the scratches, mix two parts lard
and one part gunpowder thoroughly, and
apply on the place affected; 1t is cheap
and effective. So manage your stable as
to save all the urine, as it is very valuable;
have cement floors If possible. Do not
hang harness in stable if you can avoid
it. Do not feed too much hay, and avoid
watering Immediately after feeding a
horse much of a dinner. If you have
whole rye you can feed a little, and save
expense and trouble of grinding It, TO
young horses only. Use good snaps on
lines and side straps ait least, and by so
doing save time, which is money on a
farm. Farmers need to be cautioned about
watering horses when heated.
