the hens can have free run, otherwise,
the diet of winter should be continued.
In this last case the dust box and
ground oyster shells or pieces of plas-
ter, should never be neglected. Now
the cleansing of the house should be
frequent and thorough. Keep the
lime for whitewasb, the kerosene bot
tie, the carbolic acid solution. and tho
sulphur box in easy reach, so that
there will be no excuse for neglect.
Remove the droppings once week. A
comprehensive rule under this head
is: Never allow the poultry house to
smell bad, which condition will only
follow upon thorough cleanliness and
ventilation. At this season If other
breeds than the Leghorns. Spanish and
Hamburgs are kept, the breaking up
of sitting will be frequently necessary.
This is done by shutting the hen away
from the nest, in sight of the other
hens. A little pen made of pickets or
lath, with shelter from storms, will
answer the purpose admirably. Pins
driven into the ground about four
inches apart will prevent the sitting
attitude and more quickly Danish the
sitting fever. Farmers Review.

coinage. AS there was not $50, 000, 00e
of silver money of all kinds in the coun-
try in 1873 and less than ss,000O0O full
legal tender silver coins, it is hard to see
how .the stock of real money has been
destroyed one-half." Since an increase
Of S540,000,000 is considered a contrac-
ton of the currency, it is easy to under
stand how the cross-eyed silyerites can
believe that forcing s625. 600, 900 in gold
out of circulation would give US more
money.
"The bimetallism of Hamilton and
Jefferson" was the coinage Of gold and
silver at q ratio which was as nearly as
possible the commercial ratio betwecB
the values of the two metals. In ex
perience it was found that whenever
enc of the metals was overvalued il
disappeared from circulation, the
cheaper money only being used, SO that
tie country was always on either thu
gold or the silver standard. Under
present conditions, with the bullior
value of silver 30 times that of gold, i!
would be impossible to keep gold In
circulation, and the country would &c
at once to a silver basis. Americana
who favor real bimetallism, under
which an almost equal value of golc
and silver money is now kept in circu.
lation, must work and vote against free
silver mOnometallism.

To the warning of the true bimetal-
lists that free silver coinage at sixteen
to one by this government alone would
drive gold out Of use as money and SO
cause disastrous contraction shallow
critics sneeringly ask: s'Where would
the gold go to?"
1t would go where it went during wal
time-either abroad or into hiding or
into vaults as commodity for specu-
lative gambling.
1t would go where gold has gone in
every free coinage country in the world
out of sight or as the reserve for
banks.
Gold is now in general use as chr.
rency in the Pacific states. It is held
by the government and by banks in all
parts of the country as reserve to sus-
tain the circulation of greenbacks aod
treasury notes and to maintain the
bank credits. 1t serves perfectly its
function as money. When it goes to
premium. it will no longer do this.

Natural Foods for Poultry.

The natural food of fowls is com.
posed of seeds. insects and grass. In
the domestic condition we allow grain,
grass and meat. Turkey and chick
ems drink very little water when feed
ing, and even ducks and geese resort
to water when feeding sometimes, in
order to wash their bills more than to
drink, says the Poultry Keeper. This
brings up the question of the propriety
OF feeding soft food. 1t is known that
ground grain absorbs large volume
of water, and when the mixture is APP
parently dry, quite large proportion
of water exists in it. though more so
when the mixture is very moist and
sloppy. 1t is not beneficial water, as
the results are sometimes injurious,
bowel disease and indigestion prevail
ing. 1t is better to feed all food dry II
possible, and keep a trough full of wa
ter where the fowls can take what
quantity they desire. Even ground
food may be given in dry condition,
the different substances used being
thoroughly mixed and placed in q
trough. When chicks are fed they
have corn meal moistened several times
a day, and bowel disease results, sim.
ply because too much water is forced
upon them in the food. The fowls
never resort to wet food when they
can get dry kinds, and this is matter
that deserves attention. Southern

dollars worth of foreign products,
long run exactly as much as we pro
duce.
The claim that "bimetallism," by
which is meant free coinage at sixteen
to one, will double the basis of our mon
ey system is not believed by the silver
ties themselves. They know better. for
they know that with the bullion value
of silver at thirty to one, the cheaper
metal would drive out the more valua-
BILE. Thus, instead of doubling the basis
Of our money, free silver recommendation
would cut it in two by forcing gold out
of circulation.
Falling prices are due almost entire
~ to improved methods of production
by which labor on the farm or in the
workshop can create wealth more
easily than in former years. This
means that the masses can get
more of the necessaries and lux,Iries
of life, and IL is therefore q great
blessing, and not curse. Other rea-
sons for falling prices are the new
sources of production opened up in
various parts of the world in recent
years. The gold standard has had
nothing to do with the lower prices.
The claim that ''bimetallism (silver
monometaliism) Will bring about the
great hope of every social reformer"
would be more convincing if it were ac-
companied by information as to how it
would do it. In the absence of proof
general promises of better conditions
under free silver are altogether
too vague for sensible men to take risks
on. A policy which depends or baseless
assertions and positive perversion of
facts can never gain the support of a
majority of the American people, and
the movement headed by Senator Tel
Ter is therefore doomed to failure.

The Best Varieties for Planting by South

1t is usually customary to measure
the increasing fertility of the soil by
weighing the crops annually grown
thereon. Can it not be done by chem
ical analysis? To determine this ques-
ton piece of very poor soil was taken
in the spring of 1898, and plats nine feet
square laid of. These plats were
used, first to determine the best va
riety of COW peas adapted to the reno
walton of soil, and. second, to test by
analysis of soil and products the
measure of the increase. The follow
ing varieties of COW peas were used:
$ l. The King pea, local name for a
large white and black pea, making a
medium quality of vines, yields well
and peas ripen early.
2. Indian pea, local name for .
large red and white pea, very prolific,

THE BOILERS APPEAL.


voolish Reasons Given for Their Action
by the Boiling silver Republicans.
At q secret conference of the boiling
silver delegates to the ST. Louis conven-
ton an address to the people of the
United States was agreed upon and
given to the press. This declaration of
free coinage doctrine was prepared
after careful consideration by Senators
Teller, Dubois and Cannon and other
silver leaders and may therefore be
held to embody the strongest argu-
ments which can be found in favor of
the silver standard.
The grounds on which Senator Teller
and his associates ask for support are
the assertions that "the basis of our
money is relatively contracting; that
"our financial policy is dictated by cred
Itor nations;" that "we produce all the
necessaries of life,while other nations
consume our products" that 'the res
toration Of bimetallism by this coun-
try will double the basis of our money
SYSTEM" that falling prices are the
deadliest curse of national life" and
that "bimetallism will help to bring
about the great hope of every social re-
former" of better conditions for the
human race. On this platform the
voters nominated Senator Teller as an
independent free coinage candidate for
president. ~ e
These claims of the silver republicans
are all untrue. Instead of contracting,
the basis of our currency is steadily in
creasing. The production of gold is
now about 5000. 100000 per year, and of
this over $130,0Oo,0O0 is added to the
worlds stock of money. Our stock of
full legal tender silver has increased
from less than ssO,0o0,0 900 in 1873 to
$550,000,0 10000 in 1896.
Our present financial policy was de-
liberately adopted by the representa-
tives of the American people in congress
assembled. The charge that it was die
tated by foreign nations is an unbound
ed imputation on the men chosen to
make our laws.
The idea that this is a country of pro-
ducers while other nations are con-
sumers only is too silly for argument.
For every dollars worth of products we
sell abroad we buy back at some time a

crate. very little vines.
Upon each of 10 plats' one OF these
varieties was sown at rates of two
bushels per acre, each year, 1893, 1894,
1895. They were planted in May and
harvested in September and October.
Before the seeds were planted a SAM
pie OF soil to the depth of 12 inches
from each plant was taken and the nj.
trogen. phosphoric acid and potash
carefully determined in each. When
the peas were ripe each year, the vines
and roots from one-half of each plat
were removed, weighed and analyz ed.
On the other half they were carefully
incorporated in the soil. In the spring
and fall OF each year the soil of each
half OF every plat was sampled and
carefully analysed for nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid andpotash. The object of
the fall and spring examination was to
detect, If possible, the loss of drain
age from these light soils during our
winters when unoccupied by growing
crops.
This treatment and analysis showed
that, taking an average of the five best
sorts, there was added to the soil in
three years the sum of 23s pounds Of
nitrogen per acre, sic pounds Of phos-
phoric acid per acre. and POS pounds Of
potash per acre.
OF the varieties of peas named, the
King pea gave the smallest amount Of

largest, in this respect followed closely
