ACT ABOUT CoR

Frequent cultivation prevents thu
evaporation Of misture from the soil
and secures it's retention for the Use of
the corn plant.
When the corn is ripe, or nearly 80
the dry matter which the crop con.
tains is found, about one half in the
ears, less than a third in the stalks
and one-ffth in the leaves. OF sorghum
the larger share Of the total weight
in dry matter is found in the stalks,
but on the other hand, 45 Sc per cent.
Of the protein is in the leaves, a little
more than a third in the tops and less
than a fifth in the stalks. These ex.
periments go to show that in harvest.
ing either of these forage crops atten.
ton should be given to the preserva,
ton Of the leaves and stalks since
they contain SO large a proportion Of
the nutritive ingredients
At the Michigan Station in 1897 it
was found that when the cOr was
nearly ripe less than half-O the dry
matter was in the ears, the other half
being about exually divided between
the stalks and the leaves.
One way of preserving the fodder in
good shape for feeding is to put both
ears and fodder into the silo. AS to
the stage of ripeness at which the crop
should be cut, the results of the ex.
periments carried on in 1896 and 1897
go to show that the maximum yield Of
dry matter and nutrients is obtained
by allowing the crop to mature until
the ears r well glazed. Between the
time when the kernels began to glaze
and full ripeness there is a gain of over
one eighth in dry matter, one sixth in
starch, sugar and other carbohydrates
and one fifth in fat. The study Of
the losses in the silo go to show that
there may be danger CT allowing the
corn to stand too long. especially in hot
and dry weather, making the silage
too dry too dry to secure the p oper
fermentation.

A SAD EDITOR.

The average editor keeps a stiff upper
lip and appears to be about as happy
az the average man, in spite of the
trials that beset him. But occasionally
when the burden becomes too heavy to
be borne, he makes good use of his
pen in Kidding himself of it. For in
stance, a melancholy picture of an
EDITORS life in the State of Washington
is drawn by the Roslyn Sentinel:
There are always those who will
kick. For instance, if you publish
jokes with whiskers on them, some
will say that you should be in a luna
tic joint; if you don't print something
to smile at, they say you r a pessim
istic fossil. If you spread yourself and
write a good original article, they will
say It'll stolen Ityou reprint an article,
they say you can't write. If you say
a deserving word of a man, you are
partial; if you compliment the ladies,
the men arc jealous; and il you don't
the verdict of the ladies is to the effect
that your paper is not fit to use in the
construction of a hustle. If you stay
in your cfice, you are afraid to remain
on the streets; if you do, you are lazy.
If you look seedy, you are squander
ing your money it you wear good
clothes, you are a dude and don't pay
for them If you play a social game
of any kind and get stuck, you are a
fish; if you win you are a tin horn,
and so it goes through one continual
round of pleasant complications

FOR BETTER CHooL

Charity and Children is-and all
newspapers should be-interested IN
the public school question. 1t says:
If the plain citizens of u State,
who are as honest as the day is long,
would turn out to the primaries this
year and demand in terms that could
not be misunderstood that the poor
children of North Carolina shall, for
once, get their deserts, there would be
a mighty shaking among the dry
bones in the valley, and you would
hear less about the offices and more
about the public welfare. But the
Office hunters are in the ring, and the
wool hat boys are on the outsldes."
Nevertheless if the people go about
this work in the right matter these
''wool hat boys" can accomplish much.
Our public school system has been
wofully neglected, and for our part we
think it much better to prepare the
girls and boys Of the present day for
the duties of citizenship than to send
che older one TO kill Cor be killed by)
the Saniards. -

COST OF CORN AND OATS.

The Illinois Experiment Station has
been trying to learn the cost Of raising
corn and oats in that State.
A carefully devised blank for filling
in every item, such rs cost of seed,
breaking, harro wing. rolling, planting,
fertilizing, cultivating, harvesting,
hauling, husking, storing, ETC., was
sent to thousands of farmers through
out the State. OF the 1O2 counties in
the State, rs we're represented in the
replies The lowest cost represented
for corn was LII cents per bushel, in
Edgar county, and the highest was 80
cents, in Edwards county. From the
data secured the station figures Of the
average cost at III cents per bushel'
or 50 So per acre..
In the ase of oats, the lowest cost
reported was IL cents per bushel, in
Cass county, and the highest was Do
cents in Moultrie county, averaging 10
cents per bushel, or Sc per acre.
The cost of raising corn and oats IN
this State is much greater, as the lanes
here, unlike the Illinois lands are NOT
so well suited for their culture.

OUR APOLOGIES

We wish to apologize to our dis
tinguished friends, DR.. J.. J. Mott, OF
.SsatesviIle, and Mr.. B. r. Keith, of
Wilmington, as they are entitled to
more confederation than we have re-
Gently given them. At the same time
we wish to commend DR.. Mott for his
devotion to the Silver party. He now
holds the fort all by himself. at one
time the Silver party had three MEM
bers in the State, but one of them got
lost in the campaign OF 1896. We re-
greet that we cannot recall his name.
More recently Mr.. Keith took the
Bryan fever aud went over to the
Democratic party. We have a very
kind feeling for Mr.. K ith, but must
say that he didn't treat his flourish
ing party and DR.. Mott with the cour
tesy due them, and IN severlng his al
leglance he left his party in q pickle,
though it ia still united as one mar, so
to speak. It must tax Dr.. Motifs en-.
ergies severely to be compelled to act
as Chairman, Executive Committee,
Secretary, leader and 1.-The people" all
at the came time. Bat the doctor is
equal to the occasion. Recently he
held q conference and issued an ad,
dress, which goes to show that he is
going to fight it out, though he has
lost two thirds of his party. IL the
doctor will join the Peoples Party he
will find the only real silver party
that will be able to cause any appre
hepsion among the goldites.

EVERY saREP BREEDER SHOULD
READ IT.

1.-THE Domestic Sheep; It's Culture
and General Management, " is the title
of Henry Stewards latest work on
sheep.
This book has in course Of prepare
ton for several years and is the crown
ing work of Mr. Stewards life. 1t con
tains 372 pages and is illustrated with
165 engravings, representing sheep life
in all it's varied departments. The
price is 81 so.
While all the outside world is join
ing in a chorus of praise of Mr.. Stew
arts book. North Caroline, the home
of Mr.. Stewart, should show that it,
too. appreciates the value of the work.
Farmers Voice truly says:
This is just such a volume as every
sheep breeder should have, read, study,
and to which he should constantly
refer.
''It covers the whole range Of sheep
breeding in the thorough manner that
has given Henry Stewart his greatrep
utation as an agricultural writer.
st gives the history Of the various
breeds, their characteristics, the eli
mate and food best suited to them. It
tells about when to breed, how to
mate, how to care for breeding stock
and lambs. Diseases of sheep, and
how to treat them, is n Of the strong
features of this work. Wool and it's
uses is considered in fact, no detail OF
sheep breeding is slurred Owe Or neg
lected."
It is the kind of book to make the
sheep breeder who reads it say. well,

it. It may save you the lives of many.

THr ORGAN eRINDs SOME MORE.

That great and only Democratic an
nex and recruiting station for Popu
lists who are conading enough to be
Iieve that the Democratic party has
paformed. Chairman Buffers organ is
grinding out stuff with which il hopes
tn create the impression that TIE Pro
GREssTyE FARMER is an obstructionist;
that it is trying to stand in the way OF
getting all the reform forces, j 9 the
silverites, real ndotherwise, together.
Chairman Butler can't get ANYBODY
outside OF his own newspaper office to
believe euch rot as that. The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER was trying to get the
reform forces together long before hi.
Butler put in his oar, and it certainly
has been as industrious since he joined.
In 1892 Mr.. Butler tried to hold the
men who now compose the Populist
party in the Democratic party by a
bold scheme he ~conCocted to capture"
the machinery Of that party. This vas
a complete failure. He dare not deny
this. Even after the men broke away
and began the preliminary steps to
organize the new party in this State
Butler protested and pulled back. He
dare not deny this. Finally, seeing
that he could not be a leader in his
own party, and knowing he could in
the new, he came over and made q
brilliant canvass for the new party
that summer. But for four years he
has been trying, apparently, to get
back into the Democratic party. But
he does not wish to return without a
following. We regret tomention these
unpleasant things, and will not go as
far as we might, but we feel that the
public are entitled to a fair warning.
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER is willing
to make as many sacrifices to get the
reform forces together az anybody,
but it is not willing to see the Peoples
party captured and let captive into a
party that has a record Of broken
promises as long as the moral law.
There can be an honest difference as
to policy and measures in the Peoples
party, and we do not propose to mince
matters when we o q dangerous
policy outlined, We believe that a
good many Populists have been made
to believe that it will be a good move
to make a proposition" to the Demo
Gratis. It will not be fair, it will not be
honest, to make a proposition unless it
is one they can accept, and if they
should accept it, we honestly believe
that the reform movement would be
temporarily destroyed, the people dis
appointed, Disguised and discouraged.
Friends, think about this.

SPANISH INSANITY.

Spain has been one of the greatest of
all the great monarchies. Her people
are proud, cruel, treacherous. Pride
has ruined her. National disintegra-
ton is rapidly going on. The end is
near, no matter what the result of the
present war with the United States.
Victory for Spain is out Of the ques-
ton, unless other powers would join
with her, and this would probably in
volve all the nations of earth, and even
then, Spain would lose her prestige,
her present form of government.
Spain has lost much of her once vast
territory. The present South Ameri
can Republics were formerly Spanish
territory. Mexico was, also. A large
portion Of the Southern portion of the
United States was once In possession of
Spain. With such magnificent terri

A QUESTION FOR CHAIRMAN
BUTLER.

We wish to treat Chairman Butler
fairly, however unfair he may be In
his criticism of our course. Mr.. Butler
continues to talk and write of the inn
portance of getting all the voters who
oppose gold and monopoly rule under
one banner, etc etc.
Now we wish to ask q few questions
which we hope will not be considered
out of order.
FIRST, are Democratic leaders willing
that the platforms on which these vot
ers are asked to unite shall contain any
one of the cardinal principles of the
Peoples party except free silver9 Why
do not the three chairmen trot out
their platforms and let us know
whether we are to fight for freedom
from monopoly rule, for free silver or
merely for the glorious purpose of put.
ting some self constituted leaders in
Cabinet positions9
For our part we do not remember
having heard q single Democrat refer
to the proposed cooperation except as
fusion on silver" And il Chairman
Butler has graduated from the infant
class in the reform movement, ne
should know silver is only one step to
ward financial reform, only one act in
the great work of reforming our 1nan-
cial system. And is it not plain that
this one thing would not bring pros
perity to the peopleH
Suppose we were to secure free silver,
when it failed to better the financial
condition of the people to the degree
they had anticipated, would they not
become discouraged, yea, disguised
with the reform movement and return
to their wallo wing in the mireG Would
not their last state be worse than the
first9
AS we have said before, free silver is
needed. The need of it has been talked
of by reformers until now it is one of
the most popular reforms. But it seems
that Chairman Butler wishes US to fall
down at the knees of the Democratic
party, get a promise of free silver and
a soft place for a few leaders and then
go off and die, We respectfully decline
to be carried off in such shape, and be-
cause we do this, we are said to have
gene over 'horse, foot and dragons to
the gold and monopoly enemy" We
are willing for the people tosay whether
or not we have done this. We appeal
from the bosses to the people and do
not fear their decision.
