Sharply Drawn Issues.

The Review of Reviews in speak
ing of the Chicago convention, and
the nominees of the two great
parties says:
Whatever reason men may have
believed they had for thinking that
Mr.. Mckinley was more than half
way free-silver man at heart, he
has since the Chicago convention
made it sufficiently plain that he
stands absolutely opposed 10 any
propositions which look toward the
shifting of the currency Of the
United States from the single gold
standard, unless in consequence of
an agreement with the principal
commercial nations of the world.
A few weeks ago it seemed likely 10
the republican managers that the
vote of the workingmen and farmers
could be secured for Mckinley to a
very extent on the tariff issue. Eut
Mr.. Bryan is now competing for
that vote in the most energetic
fashion, upon the issue of the fee
coinage of silver. He and his mail
ayers at once adopted the policy OF
carrying the war into Africa" and
it was announced that Mr.. Bryan's
formal notification would take
place-not i'll Lincoln, Nebraska,
where he lives-but in the great
hall Of the Madison Square Garden
in New York City, in the presence
of an audience of many thousands
of people, wheIe Mr.. Bryan would
: endeavor to enhance his reputation
as an orator TO the greatest effort Of
his life. The indications are that
Mr.. Bryan will secure very large
support among the workingmen Of
the East. Nothing could be mere
. erroneous than the assumption that
he stands no chance Of all election.
The effect of Mr.. Eryan's nomina-
ton and of his manifest popularity
soon began to make itself felt upon
the stock market. The raids upon
l the Treasury's gold reserve began
again, and on July 10 the fund fell
below the one hundred million marx
and continued slowly but seadily
to decline for some days thereafter
1t is within tie range of possibili
d ties that the administration may be
compelled TO resort TO another bono
issue before election day arrievcs.

BANKING Trees In Winter.

Mr.. A. II. Manville, of Glen St Mary,
Fla, has been practicing banking the
soil around tender trees as protection
against cold, and the reported failure
of the process brought the following
from Mr.. Manville in the Florida
Farmer and Fruit Grower:
SIN grove near Crescent City, To-
Gated where cold snaps are apt to fall
with exceptional severity, I have fol.
lowed the practice of 'earthing up or
banking, for eight or ten years, clean
earth being piled about the base of the
trunk to the height of fourteen to
eighteen inches, about December 1, and
allowed to remain until about April /.
l have found this in no way detrimen-
tai to the trees, and absolutely effect
ual, even last winter, as a protection
against injury from cold to the parts
covered. / have also found that the
tops above the earth were much less
liable to be injured by frost or freez-
ing than the tops of trees not earthed
up in this way. Your correspondent
has been misinformed as to loss from
cold of trees thus banked. One season
after several open winters (the trees
having attained good size, and seemed
to be large enough to stand ordinary
cold), the banking was omitted. This
was the season of loss, the trees being
killed to the ground. | have never

tion should be paid to the quality rather
than to the size. The shoulders should
not be the largest part of the body, be-
cause not the most valuable. Proceed
ing from the head to the hams the
meat gradually increases In value,
hence the hams should be large In pro-
portion to the rest of the body The
side that fits a straight-edge from
shoulder to ham. and a back that is
broad and straight, belong to the type
Of hog we want. At six months he
should weigh $50 pounds, and at one
year 300 pounds, and this Is not too fat
for breeding purposes. He should be
active, but not restless, and vigorous,
but not vicious
The coarse, long-legged and long
bodied hog 80 much sought for by
many, is not a profitable breeder, no
matter how long-bodied he may he nor
how much he may weigh when year
and half old. The compact type
shows great superiority in converting
a given amount of feed into pork, and
especially should all coarseness be
avoided in boar. He should be Sc
lected from a large litter, say, OF not
less than eight, of even quality, for
his progeny is likely to be near the
average of the litter he is from. His
mother should be mature sow and
suckler This test is important, as to
have good pigs they must get plenty
of milk when young.
THE TYPE OF BROOD SOW TO BE Sc
LEoTED.
The brood SOW may be of little
larg er and coarses type than the boar II
she possesses the other requisite quail
iflcations BY all means should the
"Dumpy" or 'China" build be avoided,
but this does not mean that the other
extreme is any less Objectionable. In
short, she should be of a compact, firm
build, but should possess size enough to
be able to carry and support a good,
large litter of pigs. To be good brood
SOW means that she is good sucker.
The milking quality runs in strains in
sows, as in cows, and no sow should be
selected to breed from that Is not of
deep milking family. Her disposition
should be of the best, as it may enable
one to save many pig that an irritable
SOW would kill. She should be one of
litter of not less than eight, and
from mature sire and dam. An ami
NAL that is in any way defective or
delicate should be excluded from a
breeding herd, and in a sow especially
is vigorous health and good appetite

ten pigs to feed her digestive powers

HERE AND THERE.

In feeding large numbers of hogs
they should be sorted at to size, so
that those fed together shall be Of
uniform size and strength. They will
be found to do much better this way.
You can not grow paying crop in
a mass of clods in which large share
of the plant food is locked up beyond
the reach of the plants you are grow
ing; neither will clods hold moisture.
Each rootlet should have its own little
feeding spot, and its food to its liking.
One secret of successful farming
lies in the ready anticipations of what
each seasons work is to demand of the
farmer, and it is in the doing of many
things out of season, as some short
sighted people would look at it. Try
to transfer part of the spring work
to the fall and winter months.
There is hardly a farm where a
flock of sheep can not be kept with
profit. On some farms twenty-five are
enough; on others fifty or a hundred.
But every farm is adapted to the sue
cessful keeping of a given number of
sheep, and that many, neither more
nor less, should be kept.
Sheep rarely do we'll on low, damp
ground. They are liable to disease
that do not affect sheep differently sit
uated; but aside from this, they do not
grow as well, nor produce as well
either in wool or mutton or sheep kept
on the dry well-drained soils which
their nature requires Sheepneed wa
ter, but not under foot.
No farm was ever yet made to do
its best Grumbling over unsatisfac-
tory results is useless and sinful, for a
bad state of things need not be in
ordinary circumstances. The prudent
and skillful farmer will make it paw,
and his chance for n competence is
double that of his city cousin. This is
true, whatever the world thinks.
So often the side branches of farm
work fail to pay because carried on
negligently. A dozen hives of bees
should bring the farmer as much reys-
nue. as ten acre wheat field. The re.
turn the care of his chickens would
bring is underrated. and even the
children are not trained to a proper in

While l look yearnina back upon the dear
dead past,
Though It's but TO shed upon its grave my
tears
That even now are failing thick and fast?
Let me go back and bind the ripened

leaves
Are ali have my sustenanee to yield.
Let me go back, and from dimmed eyes the

Let me them wipe till they be clear and
dry;
Why did ! leave them there In other wears?
Methinks / thought ne'er should mourn
or cry.
Let me go back, with sad. repentant hands
And gather the unkind words my lips
have said,
And bid me walk the years on hot and
scorching sands,
But say to me their sting is lost and dead.
Let all my fair days debut those marred
With selishness and sin, humbly ask
To have them back again. unwounded and
unsearred,
To live them better, this to be my task.
Canst thou not wait? but now. o hurrying
years,
E'en while lay at thy swift-going feet
Atonement for the past, of prayers and
contrite tears,
That to my cup of rue there yet shall be
some sweet.
The shvering vines cling closer to the
walls,
Around the house the wind creeps with a
cry;
And while the midnight moon spreads
ghostly pals
and my soul are waiting the reply.

Dry Dirt and Leaves for Poultry.

The best work that can be done for
the fowls in the fall is to lay in a sup
ply of leaves and dry dirt under shell
ter. 1t is scratching in the winter that
keeps the hens in the best laying con-
dition, and when the snow is on the
ground a pile of dirt and leaves in the
poultry house. will afford an oppor-
tunity for exercise, and greatly tend
to make the hens more conteuted in
confinement. Too many leaves can
not be put away. They will be found
very useful, and will also assist in re-
tanning warmth in the poultry house
