The farmer is equally interested with
the mechanic In the protection Of our
home market. The value of the home
market to the farmer is nowhere
shown any more conclusively and the
Democratic free trade assertions more
conclusively proven untrue than by the
United States Treasury Statistical Alb
stract. The consumption of our farm
products by our people reached it's
maximum I'm 1892. Passing over 1893,
the year of the panic, and taking 1894,
it shows that more than 81 per cent.
more pounds Of our raw cotton were
consumed by our own people in 1892
under the Republican tariff than in the
year 1894 under the threat of Demo
cratic free trade tariff; that more than
I3 per cent. more wheat was consumed
by our people in 1892 than in 1894; that
more than 30 per cent more corn was
consumed by our own people in 1892
than in 1894; that more thanS32 per
cent. more pounds Of wool were con-
sumed in 1892 than in 1S94.-Hon. j.

Tobacco Plants.

To have stout, stncky plants, the
beds should be kept free from weeds,
and, If they too thick In row, thin
them out. The small plants can be
transplanted and, II shaded for few
days, will soon take root. If the plants
are small and yellow, sow little phos-
phate between the rows and work 1t
in with a rake. If the ground Is dry,
water 1t. The phosphate will make the
plants grow vigorously. Aim to grow
none but strong. stout plants.

Cap;taI In Farming.

The great drawback to good farming
is lack of capital. A farmer should
have a cash capital of $40 for every
acre he farms, and a trucker or gar
dener $40 per acre, at least With a
working capital of several hundred dol
lars, advantage can be taken Of the
labor, feed and fertilizer market, and
In monthly outlay Of from $500 to
$500 saving of from SIS to SIS can
often be made, which will pay the
wages of one man for a month. Farm
ers should be able to get money as low
as 3 per cent, as their security is am

Machinery VS.. Hired Helm.

Farm work is now everywhere done
with much less manual labor than used
to be the fact before labor saving ma
chinery was invented. One man will
cow do the labor Of four or FIVE, and
will also generally do 1t better. Even
If 1t were not 50, the difficulty Of Sc
curing sufficient help would make the
machinery necessary. 1t Is not certain
either that the better care given i'm
proved implements on small Eastern
farms does not make their use pay as
well as 1t does on the large farms of
the far West. Almost all Eastern far
mers house their farm implements
when they are not In use. Even the
grain Is not. put under shelter In the
West, but is rushed from the field TO
elevators and stored there. The lack
of buildings to shelter improved impIe-
ments at the West makes their work
ing life much shorter than 1t ought to
be.-American Cultivator.

The SQUASH Vine Borer.

1t Is necessary to guard against the
squash vine borer in advance. After
he begins his work he operates inside
the stalk, where no poison can reach
him. Yet he must first eat his way
into the inside. This suggests the right
way to head him off. Keep the stalk
from the earliest growth of the vine
sprinkled with water every few days,
in which Paris green has been dissolv-
ed at the rate Of one teaspooonful to
each gallon Of water. II rains come
and wash this off rcrew the applica-
ton. 1t is much cheaper to kill off the
borer before he has Gone any damage
than it is TO wait and kill him after he
has done his worst work.

Irri0ation on the Farm.

In laying out a system Of bitches for
irrigation purposes good care and time
should be observed. Ditch lines should
be run as much as possible on the high
parts OF the farm, and the grade should
be light, about four feet to the mile be-
sng about what ordinary soils viii best
stand. The ditch should always be
larger than Is apparently necessary.
Both ditch and bank should be built
broad, and particular care given to pre-
vent the liability Of little stream Of

Comfort for Cows in Summer.
1t Is the interest Of the dairyman to
keep his cows at all times as comfort
able as possible. This means the con-
tented chewing Of the cud, which the
COW will do after her work of filling her
stomach during the first hour of pas
ture in the morning. But how can a
cow do this? 1t is impossible while she
Hes exposed to hot sunlight and the at
tacks of flies. Since the horn fly has
become widely prevalent, summer sta
bling Of cows in dark, cool stable is
more necessary during the middle Of
the day than it ever was before. No
amount Of feed will keep a COW to her
milk when she Is exposed all day with
out shade to broiling sun and Is tor-
mented by flies.

In his inaugural message one of the
things which President Mckinley rec
commended was currency commission.
That he evidently meant what he said
is proven by the announcement now
made, that within twenty-four hours
after the Senate has passed the tariff
bill the President will send special
message to that body urging the intro
duction of bill providing for the CON-
mission. -af s
As also Indicated in his message, il Is
probable that he will recommend that
the commission be non-partisan and Of
from eleven to fifteen members. to
make a study of the financial system,
and report what changes should be
made to place the currency upon an alb
solutely sound basis.
This is right In line with the an
nouncement of Secretary of the Treas
ury Gage that 1t was the policy Of the
administration to take up the question
of currency reform just as soon s'the
tariff should be disposed of. ~
