The NATIONAL bankers association
that met at St. Louis yesterday re-
solved that the currency must be re-
stricted to scarce gold. That resolve
alone is sufficient to induce thousands
of men who are neither bankers nor
have money in banks to resolve in
favor of more plentiful silver. Bankers
bank too much upon money and not
enough upon human nature.

on all bonds rested on labor. This
thing of classes being arrayed against
each other, which the republicans said
should not be done, was ali brought about
by class legislature, for the benefit of the
rich. The amount of production, he
claimed, did not account for the fall in
prices, IS the quantity of cotton, wheat,
&c. raised now was practically the
same as that of 1856. He ridiculed the
idea of al the other countries sending
their silver here and said even il they
did there would not be over $50 per
capita. Mexico, he said, might have
50 cent dollars because it was a % cent
country, but the United States was a
100 cent country and all money stamp
ed one dollar would be worth one dol
lar. When the minis were opened and
the silver miner had his metal coined
into money he would spend it and all
would be benefited; the best way to
protect ones credit was to gay ones
debts, and the government could use
the silver in paying off its bonded
debt. With free coinage, he said, the
country would be developed, labor
would be employed, prosperity would
return and we would have money to
burn. He then spoke of the republi,

Black Spotted Freiburg Cattle.
This is a Swiss breed. The United
States consular report says Of 1t:
There are several off-shoot breeds de-
rived from the pure Bernese, known
as the Freiburg, the Frutiger. the Illiez.
and Ormond breeds. but they are all
more or less inferior to the pure original
race. AS a principle, cross-breeding
has failed in Switzerland, and the best
results have always been obtained from
in-breeding from the pure original
stock.
OF these minor spotted breeds, the
only one that deserves notice here is the
Freiburg. which originated in the can
ton Of that name, and is still bred
there in great purity, although even
there it is gradually giving way In the
best herds to the light colored Saanen
and Simmenthal variety.
The distinctive mark of the Freiburg
cattle is found in the fact that their
spots are black. Many examples are
seen in which the entire animal is
black, except perhaps the head and a
stripe under the belly. 1t is fully as
heavy as it's Bernese rival, but has
larger, heavier bones, c0arser flesh, and
is in other respects inferior to 1t In the
technical points that characterize per-
feet stock. AS working animals and as
mixers the Freiburgers rank next to
the Bernese.

Poorly Supplied Creamerles.

We receive a great many complaints
from farmers where new creameries
have been established. In most in
stances the creaneries are not to blame.
The farmers have not yet furnished
the conditions whereby they can make
the most profit out of the creamery.
They are furnishing half the amount Of
milk they should furnish. There are
thousands of farmers with 200 acres Of
land, who are keeping not more than
10 or Is cows. The making Of the milk
from these few COWS costs them nearly
double per pound what it would If they
made four times as much. Then they
blame the creamery for not giving them
a better profit. They say the creamery

Enelish View Of sil1ge.

To obtain a supply of suitable food
all the year round is not always an easy
matter: therefore, few suggestions on
this important subject may be useful to
dairy farmers who plan out in their
minds possible food supply to carry
their stock through another year. Ow-
ing to unforeseen events taking place
which may seriously reduce the amount
of food expected on the arabic land. it
is certainly advisable to have a reserve
supply of food ready for use at all sea-
sons of the year. In the case of a late
spring. a supply of silage will be found
of great service to the dairy farmer,
who would otherwise have to consider
ably increase the amount usually paid
for foods purchased; and if drought
were to follow in summer this amount
would be still further increased, thus
reducing the profit derived from the
dairy herd and other classes of live
stock on the farm.
Silage is about the best basis for
forming a ration for all kinds of farm
stock that the stOck-0wner could wish
for, as it supplies the place of grass in
the winter food of stock, and can partly,
or entirely. replace roots and hay. 1t
would not be necessary to reduce the
area under crops or pasture. but sim
ply to reduce the area of meadow land
and grow leguminous crops instead
The food supply would be thus in
creased, and a reserve supply provided
in case Of drought or failure of crops.
Silage would be given in the long state,
thus dispensing with long hay or straw,
and both sweet and sour silage could be
made. Sweet silage would be used for
all classes Of breeding stock and sour
stlage for all classes of store and fat
tening stock, and either Kind, when
properly made. will keep for years

that winter and cold weather are not

Prof. L. F. Taft spoke on irrigation.
In sub-irrigation, water has to be sup
piled slowly. The tiles used are bent,
and the joints do not thus fit closely.
This permits the water to escape from
the tiles more rapidly than it could
through the pores Of the tiles. In sub
irrigation there is applied from 700 to
500 barrels of water per acre.
They had tested the effects Of these
tiles on tomatoes when the tiles were
placed at different depths. The results
we're about the same, but when sub-irri-
cation was compared with surface irri-
cation. the results were in favor Of the
former.
With beans. the results varied great

pounds Of beans per square rod, while
without water the returns were only
17k pounds. Besides that the returns
from the 'watered portion were much

Last week representative of the
Farmers Review visited the Michigan
Agricultural College at Lansing. The
college is certainly doing a great work
in its various branches, but the appli-
ances for dairy instruction are very lim-
tied. The dairy students certainly do
not have fair show under such condi-
ti0ns. There is no branch of agricul-
tural science more needful than that of
the dairy. and it seems great mistake
not to at once enlarge this department
Of the college. 1t may be that some
plan is on foot to better matters, but
if SO We have not heard of it. The pro-
fessors that have the control of the
