Farm Notes.

Cultivate Il hometown market for
the berries and vegetables.
Keep up the planting necessary to a
long green, corn season.
Build the stacks on ground high and
dry. The present season of excessive
rainfall has flooded and ruined many
a stack of hay.
There is a smaller percentage of sur
face to the large stack, hence a less
waste Of hay.
LeguminOuS crops. like cow peas or
clover, are preferable for catch crops,
if they al be successfully grown, but
corn sown broadcast, rye or whatever
green crop can be successfully grown,
will do.
Experiments with feeds say that
sweet sorghum and Katiir corn COM
pare favorably with corn for silage.
SOrghNm remOve as much nitrogen
from the soil as wheat or corn, more
phosphoric acid and four times as
much potash.
The Agriculturist says that beans
and peas for seed purposes may be
kept from the ravages of weevils by
placing them in a coarse linen or cot
ton sack, then dipping the whole into
a pot or kettle of boiling water, allow
ing them to remain for two or three
seconds and then thoroughly drying
the seeds.

however. we may feel certain, regardless
of what Lord Salisbury said, because we.
know Mr.. Bayard to be anxious to retain
the good wishes and approving smiles of
his chief, Mr. Grover Cleveland.
The following extract from the speech
of the Lord Salisbury will be good news
to many American people, especially
those heretofore democrats, who did
what they could towards keeping this
country from declaring its financial inde-
pendence of Great Britain:
ct is a matter of no small satisfaction
to the government that at time when
anxious social questions. which are far
more important than political questions,
are troubling the United States and
therefore troubling the World, we should
| remove any semblance of political differ
ence that might hinder common acton
| in defense of the common heritage OF So
| ciety."
| In the above Lord Salisbury expresses
| great satisfaction because of the fact that
all "semblances of political differences
| that might hinder" Great Britain from
| taking action to aid the monied class In
| the United States in protecting ITSELF
against the dangerous social questions"
| which the party that has given to Mr..
Bayard the position he now holds, are
I
attempting to foist upon the country.
The announcement of Lord Salisbury
leaves but little if any room to doubt
that Lauterback, of New York, felt aoso-
lutely confident when he proclaimed that
if the people elected Bryan the interests
he represents would not submit to II;
that ne would have the power or the
British government to back them up
in refusing to submit.
OF course, the people of the Unlteu
States. who don't think this country able
to declare and maintain its financial inde-
pendence, will hail with delight Lord
Salisbury's declaration that the way Is
clear now for common action" between
Great Britain and the money power OF
the United States ''in defense OF the COM
mon heritages of society" against the on
slaughts of the democratic party or the
United States.
