healthy growth. Dry oats are an espe-
cially excellent feed for young calves;
and to induce them to eat them, they
may at first be slightly moistened with
milk. If put into the milk the calf may
| be choked
The ease with which ensilage is di-
gested makes it valuable, and 1t Is both
a laxative and stimulant 1t is an
economical food for COWS, as more
pounds of nutriment can be grown to
the acre than is the case with almost
any other crop; and with the silo to
preserve it, we can keep more stock at
the same expense than by the old
methods.
1t is the enthusiast who is enabled to
carry a lot of gilt edged butter to
market IN January, February and
March. In commencing winter dairy
ing, one must not fool with the old stock
of small mixers. If one has not been
forehanded enough to have sufficient
number of cows come in fresh in the
fall, better sell off the old stock and buy
new.
Modern demands can be met only by
modern methods. The successful dairy
man must be a student of his trade, and
the best results will come from the
practice of dairy knowledge, and not
from the traditions of the fathers. The
producer of poor butter can not stand
against the promoters and makers of
substitute compounds. There is a call
for the best skill from breeding time to
marke day.
The fixed charges for maintenance
will be the same for COW producing
two pounds Of butter week as for one
which produces six. The one will not
pay fol the food consumed, to say moth
ing of the investment or the labor; but
the six pound COW would be cheap at
500, for she would earn an excellent
annual dividend upon that amount.
Creamery butter demands the higher
price because the methods of making it
are superior to those in vogue in the
average dairV. The quality of the form
er is steadily increasing which can not
be said of that of the dairy. The great
est trouble lies in the fact that most of
the cream stands so long before churn-
ing that deleterious chemical changes
take place and lessen the value of the
product.

The day has passed for careless,
thoughtless work in all lines. We
need to fully understand the objects
of cultivation, and to know that the
soil is fully occupied by roots soon
after corn begins to grow. These
roots love light and warmth, and
must not be disturbed, save to keep
down weeds, let in light and check
evaporation.
Avoid the necessity of blowing
deep in the corn to cover up weeds
by not having the weeds. Prevent
their starting, and then their seeding.
The best time to kill weed is before
the seed. leaf has reached day light.
The slightest stirring of the soil will
then destroy it.
If too wet to cultivate and the
weeds get ahead of you, is it not be-
cause they have been allowed TO seed
the ground heavily in the past, or
because you have undertaken toe
much, or have been neglecting to
underdrain land that needed it badly?
Usually the farmer must blame him.
self with his misfoTtunes. Too often
he needs not the lessons of his own
experiences.
Many kinds of garden seeds must
needs be planted in the spring while
the soil is cold, and these at the very
best terminate slowly. 1t is a good
plan to soak these a whole day, keep
ing the water warm. Enough water
will be absorbed by the seed to
hasten their termination several
days.
Potatoes cut and dried a few days
before planting will be up before
those which were cut just before
planting. They should be placed
deep enough that the whole surface
may be cultivated once or twice be-
fore the plants are up, for this will
increase the vigor of the early
shoots, directly increasing the
amount of available plant food in the
soil.

The annual yield of milk is easily 10
per cent. greater from cows fresh in the
fall than from those which calve with
the coming of grass. If well fed and
comfortably housed they yield a good
quantity of milk all winter, and as the
flow begins to cease materially there
comes the favorable change to grass,

GERMANY'S POSITION.
No Hope of an International Conferen
NAV Re Cherished.

No Hope of an International Conference
May BE Cherished.
Prince Hohenlohe, the German chan
cellor, lately announced that he did
not consider it desirable that the
empire should take the initiative to-
ward the holding of an international
conference to restore silver to an equal
place with gold in the mints of the
world. The statement made by the
prince is notable for several confess
sions. He acknowledges:
That the depreciation in the price of
silver, measured in gold, threatens to
destroy silver mining in Germany.
That the difference in exchange be-
tween gold and silver countries works
to the great disadvantage of the former
and the great advantage of the latter
in competing for business in the world
market-creating economic prejudice,
or injury, to Germany.
That this advan tage to silver coun-
tries will continue until compensat-
ing influence arises and home Ger
man) prices and wages readjust them
selves to meet the competition. This
cold -blooded statement means that Ger
man workmen must come down to
sufficiently low wages to enable Ger
man manufacturers to face the facto-
ries of japan, China and India.
That rise in the price of silver is
therefore, highly desirable from an
economic and mint standpoint.
That bimetallists who hope for an
information agreement believe the
opening of the Indian mints to be
q necessary precedent to action.
That he has sounded the British
government and that the opening OF
the Indian mints is not expected
within measurable time, which means
that the British government has re-
fused to open them.
This statement should put an end to
tho talk of an international compro-
mise. Germany says wait on Great
Britain;" France says swat on Great
Britain;" the whole European conti-
nent says wait on Great Britain" and
Great Britain, the great usurer of the
earth, the country that has won its
wars with money, even as it bought
Benedict Arnold and sought to stranEle
America with money, refuses to accede
to any proposition that would tend to
loosen the internal clutch which it has
fixed upon the monetary systems of the
western world. The ruling class in
Great Britain is the moneyed class.

IN A NUTSHELL,
me u OF the Silver Question as Stated
by "a Silver Crank"

Money is the measure of value. Thiz
is its highest function. By this Is.rsan.

like bushel measures quantity.
The government regulates tEcs,
measures by law.
In quantity measure, the Law. saw.
2,l50 42-100 cubic inches is 4 bu-he!.
In value measure, it says .5.s grain.
of gold is dollar.
The government may change Ia,

bushel.
II in 1880, A owes B debt OF t,a8l
bushels Of wheat, the 2, $50 42-1O0 cubic
inch measure, and the debt is due in
1890, and A wants to pay, but finds
that since he made the debt the law
has been changed, and the bushcl he
has to pay holds A, 400 cubic inches,
who will say great injustice has not
been done A? So A becomes O crank.
and B gold-bug. Do you see?
The measure of value may increase,
too Its value is enlarged or decreased
by the common rule of supply and de-
mand.
IL you decrease your measure Of
value (the dollar you do it by increas-
ing their number, that is, the primary
dollar.
If you increase your measure of
value, you do so by decreasing their
number, that is, the primary dollar.
Prior to 1873 we had silver and gold
as primary dollars. After 1873 gold
only.
Bimetallism, that is, silver and gold
both as primary money, gave us APP
proximatcly SIS per capita before 1873.
In 1878 silver was demonetized and
when its function was destroyed as
primary money gold only was left, and
w per capita is our primary money to-
day in gold.
By this reduction from S1s to 50 the
measure of value is enlarged-the value
is enlarged-the value of the dollar in
creased; its purchasing power is
greater.
The people did not make or author
ize the change of the measure of value,
nor did they even know it was CON
templated. Their first notice was
served by the falling price Of their
products and property, and like Mr. A
paying his wheat debt, they find when
they enter the market to exchange
their products for dollars, with which
to pay their debts, they have to heap
up about twice the quantity they did
before.
The above facts breed silver cranks,
and they multiply just as fast as hard
times.-A Silver Crank" in Atlanta
