ON The FARki.

An estimate of the loss of the soluble
portions of manure that is exposed to
rains and the direct rays of the sun, if
1t could be made, would show that one
half of its value is lost by leeching, fire
fanging, etc.
In dry season there is no fertilizer
which produces better results with po-
tatoes than wood ashes, notwithstand-
ing the fact that ashes seem to dry
themselves. Equally good results will
follow when they are sprinkled on the
strawberry bed.
The mistake of keeping and using
crossbreed males aids materially in de-
generating the hogs on many farms.
The boar should be thoroughbred, or
there will be no uniformity in the OIL
spring. There is little pleasure in rails
ing mongrels.
II is claimed that the use of ensilage
enables the dairyman to keep twice as
many cows as when no enSilGge is used.
There is no crop so easily grown and at
SO small an outlay for labor as ensilage
corn, and it not only provides large
addition TO the bulky foods, but enables
the dair.-man to give succulent food in
winter, thus keeping the animals in
good condition.
Navy beans can be grown profitably,
and they bring as good prices as any
other crop. The heaviest yields are
secured when they are carefully cult
waited and grown on ground that has
been well MANFRED the previous year.
The harvesting of the crop is the crit
zeal work with them, as they are liable
TO damage if exposed TO rains after har-
yesiing them, but there is machinery
now in use which lessons the labor
and makes them as sure as any other
crop.

v.uit to Decide whether the Right

Lawsuit to Decide Whether the Right
Belongs TO the Father or Mct.er.
The question as TO whether the nam
right, to the baby's father or to the
laby's mother is raised in a queer law
sun originating in Eastkill, in the
heart of the Catsliill mountains, re-
ports the Albany Law Journal. The
plaintiff is Ole Halverson, u Swede, who
cultivates a small farm on the noun
tain side. He has sued for damages
Rev. j. G.. Remerton, a German Luth-
eran minister of the same place, and the
pleadings set forth the following state
of facts: Mr.. and Mrs. Halverson have
a son of tender years. The former de
sired that the boy should be called Os-
car, after the present monarch of Mr.
Halverson's fatherland. Mrs. Nalyer-
son disliles the name Oscar and was
determined that the baby should not
be burdened Herewith. Mr.. and Mrs.
Halverson took the baby to the clergy
man to be christened.
Mr.. Halverson requested the minister
to name the child Oscar, but Mrs. Hal
version had already talked the reverend
gentleman over, and to Mfr. Halverson's
surprise and indignation the boy was
not christened Oscar, but something
else, whereby Mr.. Halverson suffered
serious disappointment, loss of author
ity in his household, laceraticn of feel
ings, etc, for which he prays damages.
The clergyman's defense is that he
christened the child in accordance with
the wishes of the mother, whose ri ghts
in the premises he considered para
mount. The case brings up u novel
question in Jurisprudence, he decision
of which will be regarded with interest
in thousands of families throughout
the land.

A GREAT SPEECH,

That was great speech Senator Mills
delivered on the tariff question in the
senate on the 9th of this month. 1t was
great speech, an eloquent speech
Amongst other nice things the grave and
reverend senator said, that he spoke for
the poor man, for the taxpayer, for the
horny handed son of toll, and he spoke
against the men who were trying to raw
ish the laborer and rob him of his rights
and puta duty on the necessities Of life.
And then Mr.. Mills in the most eloquent.
magnetic, and dramatic language possible
named some of the necessities of life to
be placed on the dutiable list by these
fearful protectionists, as ''alcoholic per-
fumery," "sulphuric ether" "opium for
smoking" "razo7s and razor straps"
"cigarettes," bay rum," "shoddy," "cur-
rants" and "woolen rags"
We are extremely glad that the able SEN
ator delivered this brilliant speech and
more gratified still at having read it. For
now we know what must be considered real,
genuine necessities of life and we are begin
ming to understand the fearful depravity
and horrible wickedness of the devilish
protectionists, who would tax the poor
mans "sulphuric ether" and his "opium,r
HE "shoddy," his "woolen rags" his "al-
coholic perfumery," his ebay rum," his
cigarettes" and the like.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION,

The weekly financial circular of Henr,
views " Co., bankers, New York, for thu
week Just ended states, that the leading
bankers OF the country are regainine
confidence. Our most responsible rail.
road managers are very pronounced IN
their belief of better times the COMING
fall; those who lead are more willing to
take the initiative; and many of the evils
from which we have been suffering are
working ont their own correctiyes. The
crop situation is satisfactory. Wheat,
corn and cotton are somewhat backward
owing to low temperature and excessive
moisture; but in spite of drawbacks there
Is every prospect of abundance. In the
agricultural sections of the country trade
reports are favorable. Merchants are in
position to stock up more freely, and
the farmers are gradually getting out of
debt; In fact, in some portions of the
west they are in better condition finap.
elally than in many years. Cheap freights
=
have often more than COMPENSATED for
low prices.
The industrial situation is also i'm
proving, and this is factor of increasing
Importance to Wall street, in view of our
rapid development in this direction. The
iron trade, generally considered fair
business barometer, shows increasing
activity; some large orders for pig iron,
bar iron, etc, having been placed at the
western markets, where prices are low
but firm. A better demand is also devel-
oplng for staple cotton and wooden goods,
and In some instances N tolerate ad vance
IN values has followed. These two promi-
nent!ndustries are still in an unsatisfactory
condltlon owing to an excessive produo-
tive capacity; but it is encouraging TO
note turn for the better which promises
TO be maintained.
The tariff question will soon be out of
inc way, and this accounts very largely
for the better tone in business circles
Ihe better prospect of currency reform
and the abatement of Cuban agitation are
also encouraging factors of Importance.
The condition of our foreign commerce is
satisfactory. Exports continue large;
md, as the rush of imports to anticipate
ne tariff must soon cease, there is no
prospect of important gold shipments.
Inc treasury reserve is strong, and before
ong we shall probably be i'm porting gold.
