The red raspberries are propa-

Small fruit plants should make

Time for Sewing Tarnips.

While occasionally, under favor.
able conditions, good crop of tur-
nips may be grown by sowing as
late as the middle of August, gener-
ally the best results will be secured
by sowing not later than the middle
of July. Have the soil in good filth
and reasonably rich, so that the
plants may get good start to grow
before the weather gets too hot and
dry.
One advantage with turnips is
that if they can not be eaten or sold
to an advantage they can always
be fed to stock profitably Farmers

Fattening Hogs.

No country on earth can produce
pork as cheaply as we can. No
fault can be found with the hams
and shoulders OF American hogs,
and only the absence of lean streaks
prevents our bacon from taking first
place. Under present conditions
we can not afford to produce bacon
such as comes from Denmark and
Ireland, because there is more pro.
fit in producing weight with corn.
With all these advantages of cheap
food and favorable climatic con
ditions, We can produce pork very
cheaply, but we should not be con
tent with this. We should try to
produce better pork than we do
without adding to the cost.
Very few farmers would say they
do not know all about raising hogs,
but the truth is, very few do know
the best way to feed for the best re.
suits in quality, gain in weightand
healthfulness.
Most farmers are inclined to
think the best way to feed a lot
of hogs is to put them in a lot and
keep corn by them all the time.
Corn and corn alone is enough for
a hog, they think, and to feed this
in an unlimited quantity requires
neither judgment nor sense. The
average farmer does not read nor
doth he bother himself much with
thinking The man who is above
the average reads and thinks, and
he knows there is much to learn in
even so simple an operation as
raising a hog He knows that corn
alone does not furnish all the ele-
ments that go to make perfect pork.
The thinking farmer provides past
ure of clover or blue grass for his
pigs and gets them up to 100 pounds
or above with the grass, wheat,
bran, skim milk and such nitrogen
Gus feed as makes lean meat and
bone. Then he feeds corn and oats
and bran, and toward the last feeds
all the corn the animals will eat
with good appetite, and goes into
the market with finished product
that he may be proud OF, which has
not cost him any more than full
corn-fed hog would have cost.
When all farmers follow this course
then will American pork have come
into its own and the price will rise
to it's true value-Nebrasko Farm

One advantage claimed for prun-
ing in June is that the wounds
made heal quickly. But while this
is the case it should also be remem
bered that healthy, perfect heal
ing is of more Importance than
rapid healing. Later pruning heals
more slowly and usually more per-
fectly. All things considered, the
best plan in pruning is to prune
annually and to do most of the
pruning during the Summer, when
it can be done with the thumb and
finger Of course, it is necessary
to remove large limbs should they
die from any cause or become dis
eased But with necessity for re-
moving large limbs if a good system
of annual pruning is followed, and
this is often quite an item. August
and September are good months in
which to remove large limbs, but so
far as can be, the removal of large
limbs should be avoided by annual
pruning Exchange,

was on an act to allow the Lewiston

and ponds of Androscoggin county.

asked for the privilege was that they

one hearing.

The Chicago Record, n good enough
repu blican paper, discusses the trust
problem and says:
while congress possesses no direct
jurisdiction to regulate corporations,
1t has unlimited power to tax their
earnings. their securities issued and
their dividends. An annual tax can
be collected on all their stocks, and
this tax can he graduated so as to fall

Ultimate companies, but heavy enough
on the large concerns to squeeze all
the water out of their capital. A good
feature of such Il law would be a tax
of, say, ten per cent annually, like the
tax on state bank notes, on all securi-
ties issued in excess of the actual
property of company Another
necessary feature would be a heavy
tax on the payment of excessive divi-
dends or the accumulation of profits
in excess of the amount necessary to
pay a reasonable return to the inves-

of money and a constantly falling
market, they cannot reinvest it so as
to make the low interest they have to
pay to the bank, and still make a
profit on the property bought or the
legitimate labor-emPloying business
entered into.
Therefore money piles up in the
banks. But this is not an evidence
that times are good or that money is
cheap, but an evidence that times are
hard and getting harder, and that
money, not the use of money. is high
er. The use of money is cheap. be-
cause men cannot take it even at the
present low rate of interest for the use
of it, and make profit on it by rein
vesting it in property or business
But money itself is not cheap, but
high. If YOU 90 10 the bank to get
81 900 for 80 days, say at per cent.
YOU do not buy the money, but only
the use of it. You must return the
81 600 at the end of 30 days, with the
accumulated interest, if, indeed, the
interest has not been taken out in adj
vance. If you 90 to the bank to buy

done this you will find that instead of
money being cheap it is really the
dearest 1000 you ever bought in all
your lives.
This shows conclusively that the
use of money, not the money itself, is
indeed cheap, and for the reasons
above stated. Gold standard men do
not see this distinction, or appear not
to do so. In fact, as a rule. gold
standard men are notably and pitiably
ignorant upon the history, the econ
mony and the purpose of money but
men who understand the money ques-
tiCn do see the distinction as they also
see the sophisms of the gold standard,
and this is why the silver men are so
enthusiastic in the cause, and are so
anxious to see the money of the con-
stitution restored to the place it occu-
pied in the monetary system of the
republic for nearly a hundred years.
