wagon-load. resulting In gorge, dis
gust or disorder, and the feeder practic-
ing this method does not think much OF
pumpkins, as his stock will eat them
once only. II the pumpkins are fed in
small quantities at the start the stock Is
always ready for them when offered, and
the droppings show more complete
digestion Of the corn. Pumpkins are so
succulent that there is no need OF slop OF
bran and middlings 10 balance the ration
with corn on clover field or grass.
Some hold that the seeds ought TO be
removed from the pumpkins, as the
seeds affect the flow OF urine, but we
have never found any necessity for 1t.
A neighbor fed two milch cows all the
pumpkins they could eat twice day,
with their usual amount of mill-feed
The cows ran on pasture during the day.
To one COW he fed pumpkins with seeds
removed, and TO the other he fed the
pumpkins with seeds, and added TO her
mess those taken from her mate. This
test was continued for six weeks and the
COW receiving the double portion OF
seeds increased in flesh and yield OF milk.
Fed as part OF the ration with corn
the pumpkin crop can be made saving
of outlay for purchased feeds and prove
of great value in the feed lot or COW
stable. Pumpkins are too watery and
weak to rely on as the main feed, but
feed as an adjunct or relish with grain
we believe they are safe and have great
value.-Farm, Stock and Home.

ascE APPLE EXPORTS.

Otto G. Mayer Il Co., New York,
write us that the large exports OF
American and Canadian apples this sea.
son have resulted in low prices in all
foreign markets. This effect is also
caused TO some extent by the large guam
tity OF decidedly inferior quality apples
which has been sent over. The total
exports for the week ending Sept. 26th
amounted to about li0, 900 bbls., Of which
about &c. 900 were sent from New York,
while Boston and Montreal sent about
81. 900 bbls. each. l,400 bbls. were ex-
ported from Philadelphia. For the cor
responding week last year the total ex.
ports were about 1900 bbls. The total
exports this season to Sept. 18th inclu'
sive have been, to all ports ilS,OoO bbls.
against 10 the same date last year
3. 900 bbls. There does not seen
to be any let up in the amount to 60 for

be reasonably expected that high prices
can prevail, either abroad or in sthi;

British trade statistics show that tea

the United Kingdom. England has al
ways been q great country for tea drink
ing. and now the British taste for that
beverage is apparently stronger and
more nearly universal than ever. In the
United States, although very great
portion Of the population is of almost
unmixed British origin, coffee complete
" overshadows tea in common use.
There is no reason TO believe that the
latter will ever become popular here in
the same sense that coffee is already,
and the coffee trade Increases constantly.
Nations differ in such matters to a
very remarkable degree. Germany, like
the United States, is a coffee drinking
country, and 80 is France to less eX'
tent Russia, on the other hand, is more
devoted to tea than England. and China
and Japan care as little for coffee as the
Turks do for the tea which the yellow
races Of eastern Asia consume in enor-
nous quantities. In some cases the eli
mate seems 10 be determining infiu-
ence, the lower the temperature the
greater being the consumption OF tea
and the smaller the coffee trade. There
are notable exceptions, however, for
Germany. where coffee leads by long
odds, is land Of colder weather in
winter than the British isles expert
ence. Japan, where tea is universally
used. is warmer than Asia Minor, where
the Turks drink coffee very freely.
However, as q rule, the colder coun-
tries prefer tea to coffee, and In the
warmer climates coffee is easily first In

1t is more money the Bryanites want
Now, which nations have the most
money-those with the gold standard
or those with the silver standard?
The silverites are fond Of talking
about per capita circulation.
Under free coinage Of both gold and
silver the United States had per cap
ita circulation in 1900 of 81. SO, in
1888 Of S.. go, in 1852 Of sl4.6S, in
1872 Of $lS.l In 1894 we had per
capita Of $24. IS; in 1896 We have one
of S2l.l0.
The per capita circulation Of the
world is about s.. Is.
The per capita of the gold standard
countries is $lS.
The per capita of the silver standard
countries is nearly s4.30.
The gold standard countries have a
per capita of silver alone Of So 40.
The silver standard countries have a
Der capita Of silver of $2. 80, the rest Of
their small circulation being mainly de-
preciated paper.
The gold standard countries, with
less than one-third Of the worlds popu-
lation, have very nearly two-thirds OF
the worlds currency circulation.
And yet Mr.. Bryan would take the
United States from the gold standard
and place it upon the silver standard. -

losing money on IL, and that Is not what
he is keeping sheep for. A sheep to-day
brings its owner the most money at
three months of age. Ten dollars Is
more easily got then than five at any
time afterwards. This Is the sge OF
uush. and he who does not push, gets
pushed. So IL is with the shepherd.
lie must push his flock for all IL Is worth
In the least time. And 1t matters not
what kind OF sheep he keeps, there Is

hit, 10 make the most money In the least

COLONEL lNeeksoLL ON MONEY.
He States Some Plain Truths In His Own
Unique Way.


Following is al extract from the
speech of Colonel Robert G.. Ingersoll
at Chicago on Oct. 8:
Money that is money needs no guar
antee, needs no hacker; it is always
good. No matter how many nations go
down to dust, good money remains for
ever the same. We have a man running
for the presidency on three platforms.
with two vice presidents, that says
money is the creature Of law. IL the
government can make money by law,
why should the government collect
taxesf According to Mr.. Bryan, our
fathers were the friends OF silver, and
yet our dear old fathers in all their
lives only mintcd 5000, 900 Of these sa-
cred dollars. Now see what the enc
mics OF silver have done. Since 1878
the enemies Of silver have coined over
430, 600, 600 Of these dollars, and yet
silver kept going down. We are coin
ing now over 81, 600, 900 a month, and
silver keeps going down.
Senator Jones Of Nevada, IN 1873,
voted for the law Of 1873. be said.
from his speech in the senate, that God
had made gold the standard. He said
that gold was the mother Of ciyiliza-
tion. Whether he has heard from God
since or not do not know. But now he
is on the other side Senator Stewart OF
Nevada was there at the time, bat voted
for the act Of 1873 and said that gold
was the only standard. lie has changed
his mind. No government can afford to
be clipper on coins.
A great republic cannot afford 70
stamp "a lie on silver or gold or paper
Honest money for an honest people, Is
sued by an honest nation. You cannot
make "a paper dollar without taking
dollars worth Of paper. We must have
paper that represents money. want II
issued by the government, and want
behind every one Of tteso paper dollars
either dollar in gold or silver
dollar worth 100 cents, so that every
greenback under the dag can lift up It's
hands and swear, III know that my re-
deemer liveth." " That was where | was
90 years ago, and that Is where am
| tonight.
For nations and individuals, at all
times. everywhere and forever, honesty
is the best policy. Better be an honest
bankrupt than rich thief Poverty can
hold in its hand the jewel honor-a
Jewel that outshines all other gems. A
thousand times better be poor and noble
than rich and fraudulent. Nobody can
be helped by free coinage except the few
people who could pay their debts II they
were willing. Some say that II would
help the mine owners. IL would not.
| Coming this bullion into dollars would
not increase US value, because you could
coin the bullion Of the whole world and
the supply would be greater than tho
demand Have freecoinage tomorrow,
and there is not silver mine owner
that would make "A dollar-not one-by
| changing il into American coin. lt
would only be worth what the bullion
is worth IN the open market.
We want good money-good, honest
money. And there was never any real
prosperity for nation or an individual
without honesty, without integrity, and
it is our duty TO preserve the reputation
| of the great republic.

NEVER HEARD oE IhEM.

A Georgia cattle-buyer, who is also a
good Presbyterian, WAS somewhat sur
prised recently TO find out how utterly
unknown in a certain part OF the Cohutta
Mountains was the good old Presbyteri-
an church. Ii Is said that he stopped at
an humble cabin home, and during the
absence Of the man of the house was ne
gotiating with the old woman for the
purchase OF a COW. Ia the course OF the
conversation he remarked to her that she
lived very far back in the mountains.
She replied;
"Yes, but leetle fudder up the road
thar's several other families"
Wondering what religious faith might
be hers, he inquired II there were any
Presbyterians about there.
IL can't say" she said. 81 never pay
attention to such things and wouldn't
know 1t if | wuz to see 1t. But John Is a
powerful hunter, and you can look back
Of the house among his hides and maybe
YOU can tell IL he has ever kilt one."
