Farming rs a Profession.

Mrs. V. c. Meredith, who, by the way,
has gone TO take charge of the girls de-
partment in the Wisconsin School of Ag-
riculture, has a thoughtful paper in the
last number of the Gentleman Farmer.
on THE Intellectual Life of the Farm. &"
in which she magnifies the farmers OPP
portunities for mental culture and adj
vancement. She argues that the man or
woman who has the ability to produce a
perfect animal be it horse, steer or sheep,
is entitled to equal praise at least with
the artist who portrays it upon canvas.
or the writer who describes il in the stock
book or paper, and she is correct.
We quote one or two paragraphs;
Farming as a profession can make no
effective appeal to one endowed with
mental vigor and equipped with intelec-
tual requirements unless it can show to
such a one seeking a career that it pos
sesses these three features-that it is per
manent, profitable aud progressive Moth
ing less than these three fundamental
features will satisfy an intelligent per
son. Is it too much to claim that i'm
proved live stock is the basis of all farm
ing that is permanent profitable and pro-
gressiVe? Farming will be permanent
whether on few acres or on great farms,
so long as the fertility of the soil is main
tanned.
1t is true that farms have been aban-
doned in some sections of this new coun-
try but will any one dare say that they
were abandoned because the soil was eX-
hausted? Rather shall we not agree in
saying that the soil is not exhausted but
is infertile?-the fault being with the
farmer and not with the farm. And 1t
is worth while to ask whether his farm
ing lacked permanency because he lacked
progressiveness. II one chooses to ac-
quire knowledge of breeds and their adap-
tations and then has the decision and
energy to apply his knowledge he is like
ly to go in the direction where profit lies.
Keeping improved live stock enables one
to apply exact business principles to hi,
farming. To illustrate: When live stock
is the foundation of the farm economy
probably half of the acres will be in per
manent pasture; upon these acres the
stock will harvest the crop converting
grass into beef, mutton, speed, milk or
butter without any outlay of cash for la
bor the remaining acres devoted to a
suitable rotation of crops win secure sta
bility in the farm operations

Pur%atives in the Stable.

r. c. asks What is the best cathartic
for horse that suffers with chronic con-
supauon?"
With horses, as with human beings, there
are several things that can be given for
such an ailment. Sometimes one and
sometimes another is used to better ad-
vantage.
Aioes, calomel, castor oil, EPSON salts,
elauber salts, linseed oil, sweet oil, one
or the other, is used according to the con
dli5n of the animal. A very powerful
pugative is croton oil, but should be used
only in extreme cases.
Let R. c. try first castor oil half pint
as dose, or twice the quantity of lin
seeej oil, repeating the dose in the course
Of four to six hours if the first dose does
not act. The dose of aloes is anywhere
from half to one ounce. For horse the
dose of calomel is twenty to forty grains.

"COId Frames" indispensable In the
Garden.

1t Is not possible to carry on a garden
large or small in a perfectly satisfactory
manner without the use of cold frames
In the south anywhere below the thirty
fourth parallel of latitude hot beds are
not essential, as we have shown time and
again. A well managed cold frame an
swers every purpose in enabling the gar
dener to provide every species of plant by
the time it is safe to set out in open
ground. Cod frame-raised plants are
much harder and have less tendency to
disease than those grown in a regulation
not bed. The only difference between the
two consists in using, in the latter some
heating substance, like horse manure,
either with or without some strawy mat
Ter. This is placed some inches under
the soil, and it's foundation supplies heat
TO the surrounding soil This is not need
cd in the southern climate if the cold
frames are made properly and are prop
eriy tended after the seeds of wha tever
pant II may be are sown in them.
IL is a thorough novice that does not I'M
derstand the difference between a cold
frame and a hot-bed and the manner of
making both. Still, some suggestions in
regard to their economical construction
ana proper management will not be I'M
timely TO those even that have some
knowledge of their uses and value. Near
ly every work on gardening, and nearly
every frst-class seed catalogue, contains
cut Of a cold frame or hot-bed, and a
tance at such viii furnish all necessary
Instructions as to how to make them,
,Noush the details of their management
may not be given. The usual dimension

equation size for the glass sash that are

realized. The crop has been practically
harvested. The farmers generally are
holding their cotton in hopes of realizing
a better price, later In the season.
The sugar cane has also been greatly

that II has been cut off to all the way

Difference Between Sea Island Seeds
and Upland Seeds

Is there any difference for the purpose
of manure between sea island cotton seed
and the common upland seed? Do not the
sea island hulls make a somewhat bet
ter cow food? J. f.
As rule we think the meal of upland
seed contains more nitrogen than that
of sea island seeds, but there is no great
difference between the seeds of South
Georgia sea island and Georgia upland
seeds, Their average contents of nitro
sen is about BIS We should prefer the
sea island hulls for feed, but even here
the difference is not much. There is very
little lint left on the hulls of the upland
seeds,

Is This Result Desirables

Should this country alone attempt
free coinage of silver at the ratio Of 18
to /, 1t would thereby give notice that
we are ready to exchange for all comers
q quantity Of gold which is valued at 81
in every civilized country for quanti-
ty OF silver which represents in the
markets Of the world about 80 cents
In very short lime all gold would
disappear. Itwould be boarded to await
a premium or shipped to countries
where it is more appreciated. Only sill
yer would remain our circulating medi-
um. We would be on q silver basis. Our
standard would be dollar worth little
more than 80 cents in every country but
our own.
All values would quickly adjust them
selves to this deprecated dollar and
would fluctuate with its changing value
in International exchange.

A Neu FINANCIAL sYstem.

The demand now heard from mer-
chants and manufacturers and bankers
and other intelligent observers in every
part of the country is not for some re-
pairs to our financial system, but for a
new system. No government paper can
be free from objection, because its vol
ume and redeemability will depend in
part upon the opinions of congress and
in part upon the opinions Of the pres
ident. No one can be certain that these
will be correct in all years to come. II
we could be sure that they would al
ways be correct, we could not be sure
that the government would always be
able to maintain a sufficient reserve
for the redemption Of the notes. If the
weight Of a pound and the length of a
yard were liable to be changed at any
time by congress, the uncertainty could
hardly be SO dangerous as the present
uncertainty regarding the unit of value.
This explains why SO many Of the men
who do the business of the country, not
alone in the north and east, but also in
the south and west, demand the with
drawal Of the government notes Iron

GOOD Moner 1s Good Anywhere.

While q government can within its
territory define that which shall con-
stitute legal tender III satisfaction OF
contracts past and future it cannot by
legislation fix the purchasing value Of
its money, for money is commodity,
and its value is determined in the mar
kets of the world under the laws Of
trade, and the laws of trade, like the
laws of nature, are stronger and more
farreaching than any constitutions or
statutes. The best money is the money
Of greatest purchasing power, and that
money has the maximum of purchasing
power which is exchangeable at par,
not only. in the country from whose
mint it is issued, but also in the markets
Of the world.

ioa was settled Tin sterling money ol
the lawful money of England.
If jefferson had been compelled to
choose between the two metals, he
would undoubtedly have taken gold. In
his Notes. be observed that the high
price which Spain paid for gold had q
tendency to draw away gold and to
leave us only silver. He thought, there
fore, that i've might with safety lean
to proportion somewhat above par for
gold. "
Free silver Democrats are not Jeffer-
son Democrats. They should either
abandon their false doctrines or worship
at another shrine.
