THE END.
Decentralization Of silver,

Silver was not demonetized by a con
spiracy nor clandestinely; neither have
the results been as they are claimed by
the free silver men.
Silver was demonetized by Great
Britain 100 years ago because 1t ftuctu-
ated, because two yardsticks Of un-
equal length or two bushels Of changing
quantity is an absurdity, al obstacle to
business and commerce.
All the civilized nations have tried
the same experiment with the double
standard, have found il a delusion and
snare and have come TO the single
gold standard as better thing.
The civilized world is now using
more silver, has sounder money and
lower interest than ever before in the
history of mankind.
The attempt 10 return 70 the double
standard is reactionary, illogical and
irrational and will not succeed. Revo-
lutions 20 forward, not backward -

THE SllO MAKING HEAOWAY IN
NEM EkGI AND

The silo is comparatively new ae-
qusition. and some farmers are vet skep-
teal in regard 10 its practical utility,
and question whether it's use Is really In
the line of economy. Those who have
used them for some years are, with rare
exceptions, loud in their praise, and
believe them both useful and economical.
They believe they are useful inasmuch
as some of the products of the farm are
improved for food purposes by subject
ing them 10 the changes which they must
undergo in the silo. And they have also
learned that some folders which fed dry
are only half eaten by the stock, are
made palatable aud nutritious, and are
readily eaten.
Although the farmers in the rural
towns have been apparently somewhat
incredulous OF, and slow to appreciate,
the merits OF this device for curing
stock fodder. vet those doubts are being
somewhat dispelled by observing the
benefits derived by the more progressive
farmers. in the use OF the silo. There
are a number in this town, though there
is but one in my immediate vicinity.
Several of nv neighbors, however, will
build them during the season. They are
beginning 10 see that the silo Is practi-
cally success in their line, and that, II
they would keep pace with the progress
of the times and feed with an eye TO
economy, they must utilize those odds
and ends that have heretofore gone TO
waste. Usually, In this section, corn OF
some variety is grown for ensilage pur-
noses Some prefer the Ensilage, others
the Mammoth Sweet, and still others
some variety of yellow corn. Those
who have used the latter sort and also
the former kinds, insist that the yellow
corn Is worth twice as much, pound Tor
pound, as are the others.
Last wear one of my neighbors planted
the Yellow White Cap dent, with excel
lent results. He planted the same this
year, together with another kind OF
the large varieties, as well as some OF
our common flint corn. His dent corn
fully ripened in the field, and also the
flint variety. The entire crop was cut
into the silo. Some prefer this method,
while Others choose TO shuck off quite an
amount OF the ears, thinking this the
more economical course. Time and
experience will settle this point. The
tendency now is 10 use those varieties oil
corn that will mature in this region, and
10 allow it 10 become more nearly ripened
than formerly, whether or not the entire
crop is TO be put in the silo. The silo Is
a practical, useful and beneficial inven-
tion.-Kennebec County correspondent

FARMERS AND HARD TIMES.

There are writers and speakers who tell
Us that these hard times have hurt those
who live upon farms more than those
engaged In other pursuits. The contrary
is true. Thousands Of men in business
and financial circles have seen the entire
savings OF life wrenched from their
trembling hands. No day has dawned
upon American farms when the family
diG not sit down 20 its accustomed meals,
but there are thousands OF men, hereto
fore prosperous In the world OF business
and finance, who do not know to-day
from what source will come their meals
for tomorrow. ln the land OF infinite
crops no man staryes upon farm. such
suffering il confined 20 cities and man
ufacturing districts. The shipwrecks of
business have left thousand OF families
stranded. Some Of them are supported
bv relatives: some Of them by daughters
who work In offices; and many, alas
very many, would hand out their hearts
in gratitude IL they had the comforts
and shelter OF humble farm. No class
of men can escape from suffering when
the nation groans In pain. The Republic
is like the individual. IL one part of the
body polite l. wrong, all parts are
wrong We cannot prosper unless you
do. You cannot prosper unless We do.
one class OF citizens cannot be bene-
fitted al the expense Of another class.
The dagger which destroys the stomach
will kin lust as quick as the dagger which
DESTROYS the heart. All Of us must
have Il part in better times or all OF Us
must suffer together.-Farmers' Friend.

IN EuIoGY oE CLOVER.


The clover seeding is as good as the
dressing of manure, II not better.
Ii Is as good as novel, In fact, far
better, for there's millions In it," to
read Mr.. Terry's account Of a race with
neighbor who persisted in raising
/ timothy instead OF clover. The soil of
the two farms was identically the same,
and they practiced similar rotation of
crops. MIR. Terry tried to convince his
neighbor that timothy was exhaustiug,
while clover was enriching. Amid
much discussion they put their two
systems in practice. In 1892 Mr.. Terry
had certain field in clover, while his
neighbor had another in timothy, with q
little sprinkling of clover in Ii. The
first crop OF bay was about of equal
value. The second crop OF clover was
left on the land 10 enrich IL. There was
anything. Mr.. Terry had no manure or
fertilizer, only the clover roots, crowns
and tops. lie had as much hay "a his
neighbor. His neighbor put on a heavy
coat of manure. Both fields were
planted 10 potatoes the same day with
potato planter which plants the seed
by horse power. The season was not a
very favorable one for potatoes, but
when II came 10 digging time the neigh
Dor had 100 bushels 10 the acre and Mr..
Terry lG7. The crops were sold for -
cents per hushel There was difference
Of $50 per acre in favor Ot the clover
fed land. This was in lS93. The COM
petition continued. and both fields were
sowu 70 wheat. The neighbor threshed
tirst and had ~ bushels Of wheat per
acre. This was q big yield, and Mr..
Terry feared he was beaten. lie gave
his ueighh0r the Job of measuring the
wheat AZ the threshing, so that he might
De sure what there was. When the
separator ran To - bushels II did not
stop. but ran right along until II got TO
80 bushels per acre. Well might Mr..
Terry feel pleased, not only because he
had a good crop but because he had
proved TO his neighbor that the clover
system was the best. There Ia no way
in which land can be fertilized AT so
little cost and trouble as by seeding II
down 20 clover.

No More Kissing There.

1t has hitherto been the custom Of the
children attending the public schools Of
Austria and Hungary to kiss the hands
of the teacher on arrival and departure.
This has now been forbidden by an or
der from the imperial board of education,
which bases its action on the fact that
sanitary investigation has shown that
kissing is unhealthy and should not be
practiced when absolutely unnecessary.
