Elk, Governor Boies, of Iowa, states thai
he will not again advocate or support a
platform that demands the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio OF
16 to 1. He has given out for publication
a letter stating that while he wants to
see silver freely used as currency, he is
convinced that any proposition for the
free coinage of that metal at a ratio so
widely at variance with the market value
would be suicidal.

towards unifying the scots. We do not
want and will not have a union under
such auspices, and with DR.. Shields ex-
ample before us there is no use of fearing
the alleged destructive teachings of
Robert Ingersoll. Princeton Inn is one
of the substantial footprints of the surely
marching anarchy.
C%oincident with this Presbyterian loss
of membership was the appearance of
Prince KrapOtkin, the learned Russian
anarchist. upon the lecture platform in
Philadelphia. The size and enthusiasm
of his audience has apparently astonished
the great editors here, the same people
who are glazing the Princeton Iun affair
and trying to belittle the Prohibitionists
who unearthed the scandal. The truth is
that there are a large number of secret
anarchist organizations in Philadelphia,
which were in active sympathy with the
recent taking off of Canovas del Castillo.
The Krapotkin meeting partially dis
closed their existence and numerical
strength, but it did not tell the whole
truth. 1t did not tell us that the Rev.
DR.. Shields, the Rev. Bishop Nswman,,a
host of other reverend gentlemen, W. W.
Woodruff and the anarchists of this sec
ton voted the same ticket. This truth
was not told, but it is a positive fact,
nevertheless. The anarchists voted that
way for a purpose and were not iuiu-
enced in the least by the same Mexican
dollars which did such good (P) work in
Chester county last autumn.

The Ohio Farmer.

This is a solid and well-edited paper,
containing a large amount of the very
best class of reading for farmers. One
of the most valuable features of the
paper is the weekly article of w. 1.
Chamberlain who is one of the editors
of the paper. Its contributors are
among the best farmers and writers in
the great state of Ohio and the neigh
boring states. 1t contains many de-
partments: Live Stock, Sheep and
Wool, Dairy, Horticulture, The Grange,
Commercial, Editorial, Young Folks,
Home and Fireside, Poultry and Bees,
Veterinary, H~ousekeeper, and an East
ern department edited by j. d. Smith.
All these departments are well sus-
tanned, and in addition to them there
are two pages of unclassi6ed matter OF
a most valuable character. Nearly all
of the matter in the paper is original,
and illustrations are used whenever
necessary. We give samples of the
articles which are found in the Ohio

for specimen copies. The address is

SHORT LUMBER.
Current Comment.

OATs.-Trade is limited and the demand
quiet, but the market is steady with prices
about 10 higher than a week ago.
CHEEsE.-Receipts for export 1894 boxes.
The market has continued dull, with prices
leaning a little more in buyers favor than
last week.
EGGs.-Receipts have been considerably
lighter than last week and really choice
fresh stock in short supply with prices rul-
ing higher.
CoRN.-The market has shown more
strength, and the close is quiet at 36f to SIC
for steamer yellow on track billed through
to outside points.
BUTTER.-we nave had a decidedly dull
market for the past week, especially for
fresh made butter. Receipts have been
moderate, but demand has been so slack
that a large portion of the arrivals have
been put into cold storage.
FLoUR.-The market has shown consider
able strength since our last report, but buy
eTs are Indifferent and will only operate
conservativeiy as a rule. Wheat has
shown a fair amount of steadiness, and this
has given strength to flour prices. The
market for spring patent is quiet.
PoTAToEs.-The market was pretty well
cleaned up last week, and Immediately fol-
lowing our weekly report best Hebrons and
Green Mountains advanced to 70 to Toe.
There has been u steady fair demand, but
receipts have increased considerably and at
the close the feeling is not quite 50 firm as
it has been.
L~UMBER.-The market is slightly frmer
due in the main to the advance in freight
rates. The mills are not getting any more
and are in consequence shutting down. A
Boston dealer who has just returned from
that section says quite a number of the mills
have shut down owing to Improbable
prices and the remainder will close down
before the usual time.
WooL.-The market has freshened con-
siderably since the smart fill given to it by
the great Rhode Island buyer last week.
There has been a good attendance during
the week, including many Of the leading
mills, and though there have been no such
large sales as the two million pound pur-
chase of last week, there has nevertheless
been a better general business and more
evenly distributed.

Fall Influences on Winter Dairying.

As winter approaches the thought
full dairyman is reminded of the re-
quirements in his business made nee
essary by the change of seasons. l
never could see why it was that so
many owners of lows never awoke to
the fact that summer had ended and
winter commenced, till freezing wealth
err set in and snow covered the ground.
The intermediate autumn season, al
though the latter part of it is as trying
to mich cattle as winter, they seem to
regard as a summer condition, Tor
through it the cows get only summer
care
| believe that carelessness or negli-
gence in this regard does more to in
iure the profitableness of subsequent
winter dairying than any other fac
tor. 1 remember one day 1 was speak
ing to a fairly intelligent dairyman
about a certain value for milk produc-
ton contained in surplus apples, the
crop that fall being very abundant.
Eyes" he replied, g l am letting my
cows have the run of the orchard
where they can feed on them every
day, but yet they seem rather to shrink
than gain in their milk"
AS it was then late in the season
and the apples partly frozen or %rotton,
and the air too chill for cows TO re-
main out all day anyway, l did not
wonder that they were lacteally los
ing ground. Contrast this plan with
that of my friends neighbor, a mem
Der of his own church, who, affiliating
his christian principles with his dairy
ing, had his surplus apple crop stored
in the basement of his barn, where,
after ripening, it was j%udiciously fed
to the mich stock in combination with
other rations in a way that %redounded
to dairy profit. 1t should be remem-
bered also that when the worm, grow
ing season is over, no feed of any dairy
value remains in the fields for the cows
to Craze upon. To keep them rowing
over the farm then is simply TO shrink
up the milk flow and incapacitate the
cattle for profitable winter dairying.
The grazing season should end as
soon as frost has badly damaged the
grass, and then, according to the con.
dition of the weather, cows should be
stabbed part of the time, and always
when fed. When, in the best judg
ment of the dairyman, profitable graz
ing mas CeaSeu, IL is slnply d lOolub
policy to keep the cows further at pas
ture even though this is supplemented
by feeding in the stable. Aside from
the damaged quality of the frost. bitter
grass, which of itself contains little
nutrition, late grazing removes it from
/ the meadows and orchards to the det
riment of next years grass and trui
yield. Thus in two ways it is a shift
:, less, losing policy. $50
:, Right at this critical season of th'
! year ne%glectfulness in the care anC
r feed of cows will injure your chances
t for making money out of them mex
, winter more than any other cause
After you get a cow in a condition
where she gives a good milk yield it i
comparatively easy to keep her so, blu
once let her get to losing ground, ant
r it takes a decided effort and lots o
extra feed and care to make her recove
herself. AT least this has always beel
my experience. Ohio Farmer.

Laying Down for Winter.

M. A. Thayer, of Wisconsin, in his
October berry bulletin, says: 1t is i'm
portant to save all good canes by
thorough winter protection. This is
best done by bending bushes to the
ground and covering with fresh earth.
The roots of plants are very flexible,
and may be turned and doubled in any
direction. In laying down bushes for
winter the bending must be in the
roots, below the surface of the ground.
1t is not difficult, but requires a little
patience and practice.
This method of protection is given at
an expense of seven or eight dollars
per acre. There is no doubt whatever
as to the great advantage of such pro-
lection, aud it should be practiced in
all ATTITUDES where the thermometer
ever reaches ten degrees below zero.
Never attempt 10 grow berries in north
ern climates without winter protection.
1t may be done any time after frosts
and before the ground freezes. Select
a time when there is no frost in ground
or bush, remove two or three inches OF
dirt from base of hill, gather the
in close form, with a wide fork or well
protected bands, and bend gently in
direction 10 be laid, while second party
inserts fork neal opposite base or with
foot pressed firmly against the hill, it is
forced to the ground, bending only in
the root and covered with dirt, the top
of succeeding hill resting along the
side of preceding hill.-Ohio Farmer.

AGRICULTURAL
Head.wOrk and Hand-wOrk on the
Farm,

In any business there must be a head
and there must be hands, a head to di-
rect and hands to perform. On many
small farms one mans head and one
mans hands do the directing and the
performing, the head and hand work.
So it is in many kinds of business car
ried on on a small scale. But the ten
dency in almost every kind of business
is to combine, to have a large number
of hand workers directed by a few first
class head.workers. In any business
the head work is of far greater i'm
portance than the hand work, and while
the head cannot do without the hands,
the hands must be well directed, or
there will be great waste and loss.
This is really the reason why 80 many
farmers fail. The hands are all right,
but the head is not a good one to d.
rect. The hands work hard, but the
head does not guide the work wisely.
Hence the farmer gets poorer, the farm
runs down, there is want, distress, and
in the end, failure. The fact is, a
farmer needs to be a good deal of a
mar to carry on his work successfully
He must be a good man to plan work
so as to keep his own or his hired
mems hands busy to good advantage,
He must be a business man, must keeI
accurate accounts, must buy and sell
with skill, must be a trader, a good
Judge of stock, "a good calculator" a:
we say. He needs to study, to learn
about the scientific side of farming, in
fact, there is really nc end to the
things a farmer needs to know, the
scientific things, the practical things
the things about soils, stock, manures
crops, feeding, buying and selling, anC
the better the farmer is up with al
these, the more sure he is to succeed
Is it any wonder then that farmer
fail2 There are so many ways in which
he can fail, so much of a head is re
quired on a man to make a successful
farmer of him that it is rather strang,
that so many succeed. There are
few men who make splendid farm man
ayers; there are thousands who woult
make splendid men to work under th'
direction of another, but who have NO
head enough on them to direct thei
work, hands work hard, but head is no
equal to the task of guiding the work t
success.
Moral: Let every farmer use hi
head for all it is worth. Think, plal
to the best of your ability, use you
best judgment, try to learn how bust
ness men, successful ones, manage, an
put business into your farming.
