Some Of the Injurious Effects OF violent
Crosses.

Some OF the Injurious Effects OF Violent
CrOssess
The little Channel islands, says a
correspondent Of The Breeders Gazette,
have blessed and cursed the cattle bust
ness Of America. AS butter producers
the Jerseys have in few years taken
such rank that every dairyman and
farmers wife is in love with them. The
farmers wife wants a Jersey to color
the butter Of the mongrel and even high
grade Shorthorn herd. The Jersey bull
calves have so little value for veal or
for making feeding steers that they can
be bought for less than scrub calves. It
is so easy to get Jersey bull calves and
so difficult to secure good Shorthorn,
Hereford or Angus that the Jersey bulls
are found in Ohio ON more farms than
are bulls Of any or all beef breeds. That
the Jersey blood is impressive is pain
fully evident in every neighborhood.
Not many years ago it was easy to go
out and buy up drove Of good, high
grade Shorthorn steers for feeding; now
The Advocate and news., 1898-09-14

it is impossible to buy bunch Of steers
which the Jersey blight has not struck.
A Jersey cross on a Shorthorn, Hereford
or Angus results in q harder feeding
beast than q cross ON the pennyroyal or
scrub. Many farmers bought bunch of
steers last fall, the best they could find,
and among them were some tainted
with Jersey blood. There was no growth
in them, and the loss ON them will off
set the gain on all the other fairly good
ShOrthorn grades.
In these days Of antifat and small,
handy beasts the Jersey Cross does the
business to perfection. The leanness and
smallness are as sure as the recurrence
Of taxes and leave q leanness of purse
that is lasting. The experience of beef
growers with the Jersey tells as that o
breed may excel all others in some spe-
cial line and be all the more disastrous
in other lines.
The farmers who had collected and
selected fairly good herds Of high grade
Shorthorn cattle and who have as sensi-
BILE business men continued to use pure
blood bulls are today most lucky. They
have pleasure in their herds and profit
in their sales. On the other hand, the
multitude who had fairly good cattle
and who in an evil hour let in a Jersey
have herd Of mongrels, good neither
for beef nor for butter, but striking
example Of how not to do it.
We hear much Of the value Of cross
bred animals, but not enough Of the
danger Of violent crosses. If the major.
ity Of the farmers Of a neighborhood or
county have good herds of Shortborns
and their grades or Of good Poland.
China hogs and their grades and have
stock in these breeds and made their se.

Lapagerias can be grown in large pots
or tubs and trained on a wire frame,
but planted out in q border is their
proper place and trained to a trellis on
the wall. Their Towering season is
from end of July till November. The
soil used by European gardeners for
growing lapagerias is three parts fibrous
peat to one Of loan, with about tenth
Of the whole sharp sand or broken up
charcoal. It is almost impossible to get
the same quality Of peat as they have in
many parts Of Europe, so in place Of
peat use loan, but let it be as flbry az
possible and don't be afraid to add plen-
ty Of sand and charcoal.
When growing, the lapageria likes
plenty Of water at the roots, and at all
times except when in flower should be
daily syringed. There is no more i'm
portant part of the culture than perfect
drainage Of the soil. II in a 12 inch pot,
at least one-fourth should be drainage

The Mccleary Idea.

The monetary commission appointed
kt Indianapolis, in presenting its cur
rency scheme, assumes the invariabili-
ty of gold as a standard, and then pro-
noses to open wide the doors for the
issue of paper money. It says: The
standard must have market value as
a commodity independent of any gov
ernment fiat and of all legal tender
laws. That is, it must have the same
value as a commodity, independently
ef any value derived from its use as
money, that It has both as a commodity
and as money" That is simply impos-
sible. There never was time and
never can be when the value of gold as
4 commodity was separable from its
value as money. It's value results from
the demand for it not only as COM
modify. but for money, and the greater
demand has always been for money, for
that In from everybody and for every
thing. To say that demand for gold for
money does not contribute to its value,
but only demand for It as a commodity,
is as absurd as it would be to assert
that the value OF pig iron IL determined
entirely by the demand for 1t for maxi
ing iron and not at all by the demand
for making steel. The value OF gold,
like everything else, il determined by
the total demand for Ii for all uses

FIGHT THE TRUSTS.
Republican Success Gives the MonOD-
olists a Fresh Hold ON the Ma
tfon,n Finances.

Now that the republicans have gained
entire control of the law-making ma
chinery of the government, the reign OF
trusts will continue with added splen-
dor.
For the next two years there will be
a grand rush on the part of what Nc
Kinley calls "our best business inter
ests" to get into combines which will
kill competition and lower the wages OF
the workingmen.
When the news Of republican success
was received in New York all the trust
stocks went up with bound and this
fact demonstrates what the money
power thinks is going to be the result OF
unrestrained republican power.
To the transportation trust. the
Standard Oil trust, the sugar trust ard
the other trusts controlling 5000, ,o00.-
600 of capital will be added next winter
the money trust-the king of all the
combines.
Already the administration newspa-
pers are demanding the passage, in ex-
ira session, of the reform" currency
bill. When that measure becomes n
law there will be one great centrati
bank and 10000 branches. Competi-
ton in the money market will be slain.
Business will be entirely at the mercy
of the enormous and merciless money
power.
What can the people do under such
circumstances? They can fight the
slavery of the trusts as the opponents
of human slavery fought that insti-
| tuition.
They can insist that such laws as now
exist against the trusts shall be en-
forced, and if these laws are not en-
forced they can call attention to the
venality of those in power and denounce
the rascals who thrive by robbery.
There is tremendous struggle i'm
pending. Democrats should gird them
selves for the conflict. The fight will be
bitter, the odds are tremendous, but In
the long run the right must and will
prevail.-Chicago Democrat.

WAR AND FAMINE.
Not a Good Basis ON Which to Es-
tabltsh Anything Like Prosper
ity and Good Times.

A little temporary prosperity, born
of failing crops and famines in COM
peting countries, and the sanguinary
stimulus of war in our own, cannot
give us permanent relief. A single year
of peace and good crops will restore
the same wretched conditions of fall
ing prices and panics that have pre-
vailed since the perpetration of the gil
gantic crime of '73.
We cannot establish permanent pros
perity on the basis of war and famine.
The whole financial system is corrupt
and vicious, and it cannot be cured with
a beggarly pinch of fictitious prosperi-
ty. The knife must be applied and the
ulcer removed. The great middle and
laboring classes, who fight the battles
and bear the burdens of progress, are
sick at heart in their long struggle
with an appreciating dollar and falling
prices; but they have lost none of their
determination to fight to the bitter end,
or until victory comes. For 25 years we
have tried the rich mans dollar-the
miser's and the gamblers dollar-and
it is time now to give the peoples dol
lara chance.
Don't let any deceive ron with the
specious cry that the temporary ad-
vance of prices proves the fallacy of BIZ
metallism. It proves nothing of the
kind. There have been several recov-.
cries and advances since 1879, followed
Immediately by counter swing Of the
pendulum still further toward the abyss
of ruin. And so it win be again, and
continue until the two classes OF the
very rich and the beggar1y poor are es-
tablished a. permanent features OF our
institutions, unless we eradicate the
cause.-Mississippi Valley Democrat.

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
1t Will Engage the Attention of ths
People During the Next
Two Years.

The currency question will probably
engage the attention of our states
men and the public generally in the
next few years more than any other
subject. It therefore behooyes every
body to study both sides of it, because
each voter has a voice in determining
whether the United States shall have a
single standard of gold or whether it
shall have the bimetallic standard of
gold and silver adopted by our fathers
in 1902 and which was the settled policy
tf this country until the 18th day of
February, 1873. This is all important
because our very existence as nation
depends upon normal supply of
money. This question is too important
to be studied with view of sustain
ing the platform of any political party.
/. should be studied with the single
idea of determining whether bimetal-
Ism is best for the people. If SO, then
it ought to be adopted, and anyone who
opposes it through selfish or sinister
motives is traitor to his government
and an enemy to mankind. It is con-
ceded by some writer's that money has
three functions. Tt is a medium of ex-
change, measure of value and a stand
ard Of value. Stability of value and
portability are two important qualities
of money. IL this be true, the ques-
ton then naturally arises: Do gold
and silver, or either of them, possess
these two qualities? Both possess
portability. but are they stable in val
ue? Jevons. who was a gold standard
writer, says: 'Gold fell in value from
1850 to 1909 46 per cent. From 1909 to
1s49 it rose 149 per cent" From 1s49
20 1873 it fell at least 20 per cent, and
from 1873 to 1897 it has certainly risen
in value IS per cent. Both metals are
subject to the great economic law of
supply and demand. Their value con-
stantly fuctuates according to the uses
TO which they are put.
