1t is during such weather as
we are now having that the
memories of the oldest inhabit-
ants fail. Between the time
of the last equinoxial storm
and the present so many things
have occurred that bad weather
records are lost sight of.
But it is cold weather just
the same, colder than is desira-
bic by people WHO boast of a
climate where sun forms the
chief ingredient. This climate
is changing just as it is in
other places, just also, as the
peoples opinion change about
certain things.
For years there has been a
prevailing opinion that but one
kind of stove was worth TAX
ing into the house. The
opinion was sound so long as
there was no other stove
against it, but with our EN-
pire Jewel range, with large
square ovens, ventilated and
quick bakers, reservoir for
hot water, towel bar and tea
cup shelves and a hundred
other conveniences the people
are willing to admit they have
made mistake and concede
everything to the Jewel.

SWindlers in Indiana.

During the past few weeks over fifty
families have arrived in Newton and
Jasper counties, Indiana. expecting TO
| locate on farms which they had rented
from strangers. James Trotter, who
claims North Salem, Hendricks county
as his home, has had an experience that
is not enviabe. According to Troter's
story great swinde has been worked
throug bout the southern part of the state
Advertisements have appeared in country
papers announcing the fact that farms
could be rented in Newton and Jasper
counties at very low rates.
These advertisements were shortly
followed by the appearance of stranger,
who claims to be the agent ofan eastern
syndicate which owns about 10000 acres
in these two counties that the land had
until recently been a swamp. but the
syndicate had drained it and built 500
houses on it, and the agent was now IN
search of energetic men with families as
tenants. Tracts of 100 acres each were
rented at the rate OF $500 a year. One
tenth of this, $40, was required in advance
as guarantee OF good faith, and receipt
for this amount and lease was delivered
to the victim. According to the terms
of the lease the tenant must be on the
land not later than March /.
The leases are for land actually situated
in these counties, but are swamps, and
from two to IL feet under water. The
swindle caught large number Of victims,
and, as many of them are almost entirely
without money, the cold weather has
oCcasioned much suffering.

TIE WORKING TEAM.

Select Fast Walking Horses That Match In
strength and Size and Temperament.
A Country Gentleman correspondent,
writing on farm teams, expresses him
self as follows:
In selectinga team get the great pow
er combined with ambition and speed
in the walking gait. Nearly all farm
work has - be done on a walk With
sufficient size and energy given | would
rate teams IN value for farm service in
the order of their walking speed at their
natural step. 1t is not the team that has
the possible speed under constant urging,
but the team with spontaneous activity.
There is no place except blowing un-
cleared land where IA slow gait is desira
BILE 1t is much preferable to hold team
in for this short job, if such IL to be
done, to urging them ON all the rest of
the year. The natural gait of the farm
team should be not less than three miles
an hour while at their work. This not
only makes the team more proftable.'
but greatly increases the service of the
driver.
1t is important that this team be we'll
mated i'll temperament and agility. One
ambitious and one lazy horse make a
most unpleasant team. They should be
about equally matched in strength also,
for there are many times when their
strength will need to be tested. | am
strongly in favor of large horses for farm
work-not the clumsy, elephantine type,
but large, muscular, spirited horses.
| find them among high grade Perch
erons.
When a satisfactory team is once
found, it must be kept. Then train your
team. The real value of team can be
increased many times by proper train
ing.
A horse learns by repetition. So there
must be system in his training. Have
one woodland only one-for each COM
mand.

The Cow for Milk and Butter.

Following is dairyman John Gou'd's
description of the ideal dairy COW
1.-The COW should not exceed 1000
pounds In weight, and have good udder
and eye. The eye shows the nerve
power, and the udder the machinery to
milk. She should have bold eye, with
wide forehead, broad muzzle and strong
jaw, a medium long neck, with small
retreating brisket. She should be wide
between the forelegs, and ma row across
the shoulders, have a strong back bone,
and high hips. She should not be round
and full in front of the hips, but should
have full stomach. A waxy secretion in
the ears and on the shoulders showes
that the COW would be a good mixer
In breeding, the farmer should take the
best strain and stick to it. Stick to the
same sire and breed in line. and never
cross breed. Breed for one purpose only:
if for beef, that alone and if for milking
qualities, that alone; the two qualities
never 60 together.
Our care of the COW has two fold
effect. First on the COW itself; and
second, on its offspring. We care for a
COW even before she is born.

Fertilizers For Cabbage.

Nitrogen fertilizers are the best fer
tilizers to promote rapid growth in cab
bage plants, as i'll the cabbage Leaf
growth is very abundant. Such applica
tions, therefore, as nitrate of soda, sui
phate of ammonia and flesh meal are
excellent. But good results may also be
looked for from applying superphos-
phate, and indeed any of the unadulter-
ated preparations that may be obtained
from slaughter houses. The purely nj
trogenous fertilizers should always be
applied ON the surface and after the
plants are above ground; otherwise the
soluble parts may pass down through the
soil before the roots of the plants can
take them up. The superphosphate may
be applied very conveniently by strew-
ing it over the surface of the ground
just when preparing it to receive the
seed, according to The Market Garden.

Connecticut Tobacco Experiments.

Here are some conelus sns drawn from

spices of the Connecticut station and

Generally speaking tobacco lands re-

duced the poorest tobacco of any ferti-
lizer on 20 plots. Lime with sulphate of
potash improved the tobacco consider
ably.
Cotton hull ashes at to s cents per
pound are the best and cheapest potash
fertilizer growers can secure, but there
are various grades Of these ashes. High
grade double sulphate of potash is better
than the potash and lime. Wood ashes
are as valuable as cotton hull ashes for
potash. Double carbonate Of potash and
magnesia is good. Potash is taken to the
extent of 140 pounds per acre by tobac-
co, but one-third is returned i'll the
stems A large supply of potash is best
and if 10 pounds of potash is applied
annually, it is an excellent quantity.
Magnesia is harmful i'll quantity and

Why Improvements Must Wait.

A Marion county Mississippi core spondent writes: 'sThat Columbia will some day be connected with Hattiesburg by railroad is not an impossibility It is said by those whose relations give them the right to speak with authority that Blodgett and other large nonresident landowners are anxious to develop their large timber interests, and to do this successfully it is necessary that they should have railroad facilities. They are only waiting until the agitation of the financial question ceases. They be- lieve that the one thing needful to southern development is sound money i; that when the country is settled upon a sound financial basis the holders of northern capital will have no fear that when they put their money into any en- terpirse that they will get it back in the shape of appreciated currency and 30 cent dollars. as men are loath to part with their money when the probabilities are that they will only get half of it back.

Trying to Hurt Business.

The si1verites who are bowling about "hard times" and appealing for votes for free coinage on the ground that bus mess is dull are very careful not to give any particulars as to the way in which their scheme will improve matters. This neglect of Q very important part of a new policy can only be explained by the absence of any facts which would sup port the free silver theories
 What do these cheap money shouters expect, anyhowp How could business be good with a lot of agitators stirring up the whole country with their threats of upsetting the financial system on which business has been transacted for the last 20 years? Are the owners of capital likely to invest 1t ill productive industry so long as there is danger that free silver congress will confiscate one-half of it? Will any sensible man lend money to start new enterprises if there is the slightest reason for thinking that he will not get it all back? Is it any won der that there should be idle men when investors are afraid to part with the money which should go to build mills and factories and give the workers e1n- ployment?
 The silverites would hardly be sur prised if after lot of fireworks had been set off near horse the frightened animal should run away. Now should they find any reason for surprise if their threats of repudiation and financial revolution should not scare the country into prosperity?
