CREDIT FOR FARMERS.
Continuance of Present Conditions n
Distinct Hardship to Agriculture.

Continuance of Present Conditions n
Distinct Hardship to Agriculture.
We havelately given some accounts of
the operation of agricultural banks in
Europe, which have done very much for
the farming class by making it possible
for it to secure loans on such security
as farmers can offer. The farmer is
especially in need of credit, for the in
terval must always be considerable be-
tween the preparation of the soil and
the harvesting of the crop. He must
spend money a long time before he
can get any back. AS to most of his
products, he may be said TO be carry
ing on business where the stock is
turned over but once ii year. Further
more, as a crop natures all over the
country at the same season, and gener-
ally within period of a few weeks, it is
particularly important to the farmer
that he should not be compelled to re-
alize on his harvests Immediately. He
would break the market if he were
obliged to sell all his crops as soon as
gathered, and yet he must sell good
deal, for he has been under expense for
months without any income.
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit, he
cannot generally offer commercial Sc
curity, and real estate is not good
security for ordinary banks of discount
to take, and it is unlawful for our ma.
tional banks to accept it. The result
is that the farmer is usually compelled
to sell his produce at an unpropitious
time or to get credit of merchants and
private bankers for which usurious
rates are obtained. In this country
there has been practically no effort to
supply this need for agricultural cred
its, although the brokers and private
bankers and factors who have made
a practice of lending to farmers have
made great deal of money out of it,
for the absence of competition enables
them to get a high rate for money, and
the farmer pretty generally pays his
debts.
1t is singular that in our own coun-
try no effort has been made to afford
agriculture in general the capital it
needs for the improving of land and
for carrying on farm operations during
the long intervals between the annual
marketing of crops. The changed con
ditions of the times make it imperative
that farming must be conducted upon
more scientific principles so as to get
out of the land more than it has here.
tofore produced, and that necessity
leaves no alternative but either to afford
the farmer enlarged credit facilities or
to leave the present landowners to be
frozen out by insolvency, with the re.
suit of transferring this industry to
aclass possessing ngamplermeans and able
to cultivate larger farms upon improved
methods.-Journal of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin.

\ Great Day.

Although Wednesday was not the
prettiest Seventh Of April we have eX-
perienced, it was from a standpoint of
intellectually, good fellowship and
gastronomics one of the pleasantest
Pioneer Days ever celebrated.
The address of the Rev. Mr.. Fay at
the Auditorium was mastery effort
and was listened to with wrapt atten-
tion.
Over 800 people sat down to the
groaning tables in the Tower Room,
and discussed dinner that deserves to
liVe long in memory.
There were a large number of old
time folks present-among them being
Uncle Vincent Payne, Mrs. Mixer and
Mrs. Selby. Mrs Mcintosh, of Bey-
erly, could not attend because of the
death of an old friend.
Because of the immense number of
people present at dinner, the after-din-
ner talks were dispensed with.

IVeyIcr's PAPER Promise..

Our "greenbackers" should rejoice
over the fact that another paper money
experiment is being tried. IF green
backs put down the rebellion in the
United States. why shouldn't they prove
effective weapons against Cuban
rebels?" reasons Gen. Weyler, who is
flooding the coast towns of Cuba with
artistically engraved promises to pay
on one side of a piece of paper and q
picture Of a well-developed tobacco
plant on the other side.
The experiment is bound to be sue
cessful, for the notes are made legal
tender in the worst way. Any shop
keeper who refuses to accept these
promises for their face value is subject
to instant imprisonment in jails where
confinement means almost certain
death. OF course under the circum-
stances the notes are accepted. Weyler,
however, forgot to decree that prices
should not be raised, and the Cuban
shopkeepers are mean enough to try to
defeat the experiment by raising prices.
So far they have only doubled prices,
but each one is trying to see how high
he can put prices, and the end is not in
sight.
Come to think of it, high prices, con-
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper
money. Perhaps Weyler, by correcting
this little defect may yet demonstrate
that greenbackers are right and that
cheap money, by proper legislation, can
be made just as good as money made
from costly metals. What boon plenty
of money would be to mankind! Sue
cess to Weyler's experiment and death
to the traitor who tries to prevent its
success by raising prices or by refus-
ing to accept Weyler's handsome prom
ises.

Mrs. Hoge was about 20 years OF age

She was stricken early Friday morning

TELL THE TIME BY TRAINS.
Families Along the Illinois Central
HIVE No Need for Clocks.

Families Along the Illinois Central
Have No Need for Clocks.
Not all residents of Chicago depend
on clocks to keep themselves informed
of the time of day. 1t is perhaps not
generally known that people who live
along the line of railroads can tell the
exact hour of day or night by the
trains which pass their homes. Along
the line of the Illinois Central railroad,
for instance, there are many homes
where clocks are an unknown luxury.
In the vicinity of Thirty-frst street,
for instance, there is household which
is wide awake at seven o'clock in the
morning, says the Chicago Chronicle.
I'VE always get up at 211," said a
member of the household to COM
panion in a street car the other day.
1.-TWO eleven, what time is that?"
asked the friend.
"Why, thought you knew" replied
the other, "211 is the seven o'clock train
which passes the house. AS soon as we
hear the bell on the 211 we all get up.
Then We watch for the other trains. We
can see them pass the house and as we
all are acquainted with the schedule
we can tell the exact time of day. At
night we tell the hour by the bells on
the engines. We are familiar with the
sounds. No, we have no clock in
the house. Never had one as far as
can remember and we find train time
more reliable than a lot of clocks which
cannot be kept in repair"

TAKING" PEOPLE uNawARes.
The Late MIR. snrony's Clever Methods
of PhotogruphinE.

Va
The late Mr.. Sarony, the wen-known
photographer, of New York, gave the
camera something of the freedom of
the pencil or the brush, and in his hands
it did almost anything he pleased, says
an exchange. In many ways, it is said,
he was really caricaturist. His poses
were something so odd that the picture
seemed like travesty on nature. For
this reason he eXcelled in theatrical por-
traiture. But his sitters had to yield
him implicit obedience, and when it
failed he refused to take them" any
more. This made even popular actresses
submissive. One of his favorite devices
was to take them by surprise. Are
you ready to do my picture?" said Mr..
Blaine, when he had been chatting in
the studio for some time, and, as he
thought, awaiting for the instrument.
"It is DONE" said Sarony-the snapshot
had been fred just as the sitter had
reached the climax of capital story.
This, he said, was the highest reach OF
the art-"the true pose is not pose,
but natural position" He was but an
amateur in photography until he lost
the fortune which he had made in busi-
ness. He quickly recovered it by his
originality and his consequent success.
He was born in Quebec; he had studio,
for time, in Birmingham, but New
York was his happy hunting ground.
