much to do with the gain or loss upon

buying cattle, either for growth or to

While sheep will get more sus-
tenance from poor land, and at the
same time do the land more good than
any other stock VIC may possess, it
must not be forgotten that they will
also repay liberal feeding.

Ethan Poynings over her life and love
was, to all outward appearance, at an
end
Mr.. Poynings married in due course
of time, and, returning to the city with
his youthful bride, was just in season
to visit the debut of la Belle Agatha" !"
as the newspapers called her, in a new
piece which had been written express
ly for her.
Her success was magnificent one.
The whole house rose to greet her as
she was led before the curtain after
the last act She was nearly buried be-
meath bouquets.
AL this Mr.. Ethan Poynings heard
IN silence.
She had seen him at the theater; she
glanced at him in the very moment of
fer triumph, but only as she might
have glanced at a stranger. He went
home in fever of remorse and jealousy,
and wrote to der that night before hs
slept. No answer was vouchsafed to
his letter, though he felt sure that she
had read it. He called at the villa, and
Agatha's confidential servant, who had
admitted him for six months or more
to the boudoir, now looked him cooily
in the face, and said that her mistress
was engaged"
Six months went by, and he had never
seen Agatha except in public. Ono
evening she did not appear at the the
ater, as usual. The manager, coming
forward, announced that La Belle
Agatha" was 'sindisposed," but soon
hoped to greet her friends again. The
same announcement was made for Il
week, and other pieces were put upon
the stage. At the end of the week the
whole townsMas in mourning over the
news of .Agatha's sudden death!

Growing tl,e Great staple.

There can be no question about the
great advantage southern farmers pos
sess over their brethren in the north In
being able to successfully grow our
great staple-cotton. 1t is the most
profitable of all staple crops grown in
the country and sold in the market.
That many have failed to realize rea-
sonaple profits is the fault of the farm
er, and not of the crop. If other crops
necessary to the support of the farm
are neglected that a big cotton crop
may be made. then the result is unsat-
isfactory. Take Iowa, for instance.
There corn is the great staple just aa
cotton is here. There an acre will bring
SO bushels, though that is far above the
average. The price for the crop of 1898
is less than 12115 cents per bushel, but
we will estimate it at that figure. This
gives $6.25 per acre. Deduct the cost
of the crop and what has the corn
grower left as profit? With us, land
that will make SO bushels of corn will
make 500 pounds of cotton worth at
present prices $35, and 1000 pounds of
seed worth 81. This gives $50 for the
product of one acre. But some may
say that 500 pounds of lint cotton is
above the average. So it is but any
land capable Of producing SO bushels
of corn, will, if we'll cultivated, make
a bale of cotton. Fifty bushels of corn
is above the. average, here as well as
elsewherei so there you are. NoWsnb
tract the cost of the crop, and you
have the amount representing the adj
| yantages possessed by southern farm
ers in one staple crop. p.Farm and

just as surely as the days roll round
there will come time this season when
the pastures will begin to fail and the
rich juice of spring and early summer
pass away Then the flow of milk will
be shortened and the dairyman's source
of revenue will be greatly curtailed,
unless he make some provision to sup.
pIement the grass of his pastures. The
extent of this failure which takes place
in the pastures will. of course, depend
in great part upon the rain supply.
The more deficient this fall, the more
severe will be the shortage in grass.
Now is the time to look out for crops
to piece out the pastures; and what a
change has come over the spirit of our
dreams in this respect within the last
few years. 1t is not SO long ago but
that most of us remember it, that most
men laughed at the thought Of feeding
their cows in the summer or fall. Once
they had turned their herds ont to
grass, they expected them to take care
of themselves until it was time to put
them in for winter. The res.lt was
that early in the season the milk sup
ply was cut off, for once the cow dried
up there was no way of bringing her
up again. All this is changing. Not
all men have adopted the plan of put
ting in some crop for summer use, but
most men who have their own best in.
terests at~heart have.
Probably corn stands at the head as
a soiling crop. It is richer in butter
making elements than any similar
plant. Then, every dairyman should
have a piece of corn. As it is very
exhaustive crop, the land upon which
it is to be grown should be well ma
nured. Weused to sow corn intended for
the purpose indicated broadcast; now
it seems settled that it is better to
plant it in rows three feet apart SO
that it may be cultivated. Thus plant
led, numerous ears will grow upon the
stalks and far more goodness secured.
Begin feeding this early. For some
years / have commenced cutting corn
for green feed in August. Even
earlier than corn, a spot devoted
to oats and peas will yield a bountiful
| supply of green fodder. The effect OF
this generous feeding may be seen very
speedily in the milk pail and the churn.
Who says all this does not involve
labor? | do not deny it; but shall we
expect to receive something for moth
ing? The time has gone by, if it ever

If Bryan had been elected and sill

would have received prices for their
products that would have enabled them

which to buy the products OF the me-

had to sell his products at the low
prices resulting from the appreciated
value of the dollar. If Bryan had been

Republicans Are Afraid of Their Own


Medicine.
Republican newspapers are severe III

it has been amended by the senate eom-

mandatory words concerning it any
where. The fact is the republicans are
afraid Of their own measure, and tie.
result will be struggle for revision n
all along the line.
When leading republican newspaper
is forced to confess thatthe wool sched-
ule, as proposed, will result in direct
tax Of about three dollars per capita an
nually on the people of the United
States, the moss-grown fable that '.the
foreigner pays the tax must certainly
cease to have much influence as an ar
gument. Facts are stubborn things,
and when such facts as these are stand-
ing in the way, the triumphal march of
protective tariff is badly blockaded.
With tariff on tea. which lis in no
sense protective, as tea is not grown in
the United States; with tariff on eof-
fee, another strictly foreign product,
and with tariff on wool. which results
Ia d direct tax which American eon-
sumers must pay, the sophistry Of re-
publican arguments is made self-eyi-
dent-so evident, indeed, that repub-
lican newspapers are obliged to confess
Judgment.
Just how the return of prosperity Is
to be brought about by laying heavier
burdens Of taxation upon the people
than those which they are now stagger-
ing under, is a problem which the cley-
crest OF republicans are unable to- solve.
The whole matter is a hopeless chaos,
and the only men who are getting any
profit out Of this tariff agitation arc
the shrewd importers and the gamblers
