the agent seven thousand dollars net
cash for six months service. Two
more years have been added to the
experience Of this association and they
are now handling over one hundred
thousand bushels Of cranberries a
year and refuse to admit any more
members.
About two years later an associa-
tion was formed on Cape Cod on q
similar plan. They employed Chi
cago man a. salesman. and they ship
ped him car load after car load on
which they set SO high price he
could not sell them and later In the
season when the price had declined
and many of the berries became soft
they were obliged to take them back
and sell them as best they could. The
result was a big loss. and l have never
heard from the association since.
These illustrations show clearly that
success depends on the men who run
the machine. In the case of the New
Jersey association the selling agent
had the confidence of the association,
be being an eastern man and q promi-
nent cranberry grower. and the board
Of directors took his advice in fixing
prices, which enabled him to meet
competition. while the Cape Cod grow
ers thought they could set thei. own
price and the people would have to
pay 1t. They would not trust any Chi

Butter Called Danish

Referring to the large increase in
the total exports of butter from Den
mark In 1897. which were no less than
11.O0o.OOO ID. in excess of the previous
year, the Smor-Tidende says: About
4.OOO.OOO ID. Of the exported butter was
packed In tins: the remainder, 12S, ,0O0.-
wv ID. In casks of the usual tyne. OF
this quantity more than 1O2, ,00O. 900 fb.

without being landed here, and 81 .OOO.-
OCO I'd. were landed here and reshipped
to foreign countries by Danish ex.
porters. About $4,000. 900 rb. of these
foreign buffers were of Swedish origin
and 100000 10. of Finnish, The in
crease In the exports O; actual Danish
butter was thus 1866. 900 ib. as com.
pared with the preceding year.
Sprouting Potatoes.-While the
sprouting Of potatoes under ordinary

The Russian Thistle.
We quote from the Nebraska Far
mer:
The state Of Nebraska. through its
legislature Of 1885. enacted q Law re-
Quirins that the citizens of the coun-
ties. wherein this supposed obnoxious
weed existed. should Immediately take
steps to eradicate the pest from within
its borders. This was found impos-
sible. and a later legislature repealed
the enactments relating to the weed
and its destruction. But now appear
several reputable citizens Of this coun-
ty. whose vocation IS farming and
whose homes lie south of Sutherland
and Hershey. who state that the value
OF the Russian thistle as q hog feed.
when In its green state, IS superior to
alfalfa. One of these parties claims
that hogs will leave the alfalfa and
go and remain upon the Russian
thistle patch by preference. and that

that when cut green and cured, Rus

Democratic
.... State Platform.

The Democrats of Nevada In Con-
vention assembled declare as fol-
lows:
We endorse every line, word and
syllable of the platform adopted by
the Democratic National Convention
at Chicago in 1896, with particular
emphasis upon the resolution advo.
eating the free and unlimited coinage
OF both gold and silver and without
the aid or consent of any ration on
the face of the earth.
We glory in the achievements of
the Army and Navy, in the late war
with Spain and we commend the
Democratic congressman in their
course upon the prosecution of the
war. as patriotic, statesmanlike and
compatible with the honor and dig
nifty Of our nation.
We agr,.e with Senator Teller, an
ardent Protectionest, that the DINGHY
law was formulated and passed, not
for protection of American labor, nor
for the purpose Of revenue for the
government, but exclusively in tho in
terest Of the monopolies and trusts,
which furnished the corruption money
to carry on the Mckinley campaign,
We furthermore declare without
fear of successful contradiction, that
any or all OF the provisions Of the in
famous law do not, directly or indi.
rectly benefit. to the amount of q far
thing one hundred actual residents
of Nevada while the entire people Of
the State are additionally taxed in
increased prices of the necessaries Of
life to an amount more than sufficient
to defray the entire expenses of the
State govel nment. And it is with
shame and humiliation that we point
to the fact that this measure 30 dis.
tressful to the people of Nevada was
passed by the aid of our Senators
without which it could never have
become a law.
We demand Home Rule for the
people of Nevada. Our National
Government inaugurated bloody
and expensive war to insure Home
Rule for the Cubans, and yet the
Sovereign State of Nevada has for
years, and still is, under more abject
servitude to the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, represented by
non. residents Of the State than we're
ever the Cubans made subservient to
the Spanish Crown. We insist and de.
mand that our State shall be repre-
sented at Washington by actual resi-
dents OF Nevada, instead OF by men

office seeking purposes and whose
sole contributions to the people of
the State are limited to the money
corruptly used to secure their own
elections.
We recognize the Democratic as
the only Silver party in the Nation,
and upon whose success in 1900 de-
pends the establishment of silver
to It's former place in the monetary
system OF the Republic. We regard
all local political organizations, pro-
tossing to favor bimetellis m. as not
only useless, but absolutely obstruct-
I've to the cause they pretend to fos-
ter. The so-caled Silver party of
Nevada Is especially detrimental to
the silver interest. It's State Admin
istration. III the last few years has
been replete with scandals which are
disgrace to the Commonwealth.
Its continued existence is an insult
to the great Silver party of the Ma
tlon which III 1896 polled nearly six
millions of votes for the bi-metallic
couse, and its death would be mourn
ed only by few Office seekers who
have maintained it in the hope of be-
ing elected to positions which they
could not obtain from any other
party in the State.
We favor the election of United
States Senators by the people. in
stead Of Legislatures. We believe
that Nevada has suffered more from
the present system than any other
State in the Union and we most earn
estly demand such change as will, to
partial extent at least. prevent the
gross frauds and corruption as has
and which is now prevailing in our
Senatorial elections.
The Democratic party of Nevada is
in favor of utilizing and developing
the natural resources OF the State;
We, therefore advocate a policy of
internal improvements by which the
surplus water of our rivers may be
impounded in reservoirs and used in
reclaimIng and irrigating the unoc-
cupied agricultural lands of the State
aud opening the same to settlement
and cultivation, thereby inducing
immigration for the development of
the agricultural products Of the State
and increase of our population, and
we favor liberal legislation and the
appropriation o; State funds for such
purposes.
We demand that our National Gov
ernment hold possession Of the Phil.
ippine Islands. 80 that the products
and trade of these islands may be
brought to our shores, az such a pol
icy would result in great profit and
commercial advantages to the Paci-
fic Coast.
We most earnestly advise the Dem
ocrats in every county in the State to
organize aud form County Central
Committees and to nominate full leg.
islative tickets unpledged upon the
matter Of U. s. Senator and to adopt
all means Of strengthening the DEM
oCratic party which will in 1900 rep
resent the honest and sincere silver
element in the state.
