UNDERMINING JAPAN.
Conditions There Tally with Those
of All Other Gold Standard
COuntriex.

The undermining of Japan, which
has been progressing so rapidly during
the last few years, closely resembles the
Rothschildizing the rest of the world
has been undergoing, and is undoubted-
~ the same thing under another name.
Percy Alden, in the Outlook, thus de-
scribes the Japan of to-day, as he
sees it, in contrast with the Japan OF
former times. as he saw it:
"A very undesirable change has come
over the life of the working people. The
factory chimney, ominous harbinger of
the industrial revolution, rises gaunt
and bare from the hideous brick build.
ing which seems to be the necessary &C.
compartment of neutrality-suspicious. on
a large scale. The worst evils of the
factory system are creeping in every
where, the rush for wealth is taking
possession of the people; the limited
liability company is already in the
field; fortunes are being made by few,
but pauperism is on the increase. a
native writer says: Land is being rap
idly changed from the ownership OF
small properties to the hands of richer
men, The number of those who pos
sess the franchise, paying Is yen in
taxes, have gone up "A per cent, but the
cost OF living has increased 81 per cent.
Under the heavy strain Of these great
changes the temper of the people is
gradually deteriorating Courtesy and
gentle manners are yielding to hard
and stereotyped western ways, intense
competition is developing selfshness
and cruelty"
Does not this dark description fit
every other country under the gold
standard, trust and monopoly system
of the Rothschild .dispensation; the
producers and consumers of the land
are bled at both ends by the syndicates
and the. gold trust. With the increase
OF production the producer of food,
clothing and shelter is forced to pay
tribute to the monopolist, and there is
an accompanying increase in the num-
Der OF hungry, ragged and homeless
men. Such were unknown in Japan
until recently and in the United States
of generation ago. When we have
shaken loose the grasp of usurious
greed upon our political institutions in
creased production will mean more
good things for the masses, instead OF
famine for the multitudes and luxury
for the few alone.-Illinois State Reg

THE BERRY BUSHES.
Next Years Crop Is Determined By
This Years Vigor and Growth
of the Plants.

After the fruit has been harvested
and during the rest of the summer is
the best time to give the raspberries
necessary pruning. One of the first
things to do is to cut out all of the old
canes. 1t is this years growth of cane
that bears the fruit next year, and it is
quite an item to secure a vigorous,
thrifty growth. BY cutting out the old
canes more room is given, and the new
canes can make a better growth. At
the same time that the old canes are
taken out, all of the small, weak or I'M
thrifty canes should be taken out.
Three or four strong, vigorous canes
will yield more and better fruit than
two or three times that number of
small and weak canes. All canes not
wanted should be treated as weeds and
managed accordingly. There is no adj
vantage in allowing the canes that are
left to grow too long. If the strength
OF the root can be thrown into one-half
the length secured of cane a better
quality of fruit may be secured. The
rich shoots may be treated in the same
way.
Four feet is as high as either rasp-
berries or blackberries should be al
lowed to grow, and many good growers
keep them pinched back to three feet.
Thorough cultivation will help mate
rally in securing better and more
vigorous growth.
It should aforementioned with all
fruits that very largely next years
crop of fruit is determined by this
years vigor and growth of the plant,
and it will pay to take considerable
pains to secure strong, vigorous
growth.-N. j. Shepherd, in Farmers
Voice.

Silver Rules.

:. The dependence of prices in America
upon the gold price of silver, in the
case of articles whose surplus COM
pctes in London with the produce of
silver countries, is very direct. One
might suppose that the larger market
would rule, and that the gold price
would remain steady instead of being
itself fixed by the silver price. But it
is not SO. 1T is not the China or
India price that rises, but; the London
price that falls. Merchants find it
easier to buy Asiatic produce at the
old prices and sell it in London at a
concession, than to,stand out for old
prices at home in order. to pay more
to the producer. From this point of
view, it is really silver that rules the
world. It is the purchasing power Of
thu cheaper metal that determines the
price all over. p. Benjamin Andrews.

Gen. Warner Denies 1t.

The Chicago Record recently printed
what seemed to be an authentic inter-
view with Gen. a. j. Warner, president
of the American Bimetallic union. in
which that gentleman was made to say
that silver would he a secondary issue
in the campaign next year. This Gen.
Warner has denied. II have" he de-
clares, never said to anybody that
silver is secondary issue. I have said
that inasmuch as the next congress
was almost certain to pass a currency
bill, the currency phase of the money
question was likely for the time being
to attract large share of public at
tention whether the government or
the banks shall issue our currency.

backward step on this question will be
taken by the democrats in 1900. There

SPECKS: IN BUTTER.
I Most Cases, Faulty Working and
Setting in the Rest.

The cause of specks or notifies in
butter is not always an easy matter to
find out, for there are several things
which may be held accountable for it.
Everyone knows notified butter when
they see it, for it contains light spots
and streaks. Carelessness on the part
OF the butter maker is the cause in nine
out of ten cases, but even the most care
full person will sometimes get batch
OF streaky goods. Probably the major
ity OF cases can be traced to the manner
OF sailing and working. If a coarse
kind of salt is used it does not dissolve
rapidly and eventually brings out the
color more deeply in spots, for it is
we'll known that salt deepens the color
in butter. Likewise poor quality of
salt containing lime will bring out the
color unevenly. Failure to work the
butter enough leaves the salt unevenly
distributed. 1t is good plan to work
butter twice, letting it stand for two
hours or SO after the first working.
Notified butter is often caused by fail
ure to maintain uniform temperature,
either of the cream before churning, or
of the butter afterward while sailing
and working it. If part of the butter
gets too hard or too dry it will not DIS
solve as much salt as the rest of it.
If some of the butter globules in the
cream are heated too much above or
cooled too far below the rest they will
not take color and salt uniformly with
the others. Poor butter color will also
cause it, as we'll as improper handling
OF the milk OF ripening of the cream
1t would seem, therefore, that the way
to avoid streaky butter is to follow
carefully the most approved methods
of handling the milk and cream, tc
keep as uniform temperature as pos
sible in ripening the cream, to use the
best kinds of butter color and salt, and
finally to thoroughly work the butter
or better still to rework it before max
ing up. But above all these rules must
be placed experience and knowledge

Wedding Rye from Wheat.


The wheat-growing farmer disliles
much to cultivate rye because wherever
grown on the same farm some of the
rye will find it's way through straw or
manure to the fields where the wheat is
grown. 1t is not difficult matter to
separate the two grains as they grow in
the field together. The rye heads out
several days earlier than the wheat, and
it spires up foot or more higher, maxi
ing it very conspicuous. 1t is an easy
matter to 60 through the field with a
pair of shears and clip off all the rye
heads, cutting down low enough to
reach those that are behind in growth.
Wheat that is free from rye is worth
several cents more per bushel, and, of
course, wheat free from rye should al
ways be used for seed.

The Sailing of Butter.

Butter taken from the churn in gran
ular form will take the salt more even
ly than if gathered into lump, besides
which the milk can be more thoroughly
separated. Tastes differ as to the
amount of salt, but this is not essential
to the keeping qualities of butter; any
where from one-half ounce or more will
keep it if the milk is out of it. For lay
ing down stone jar is as good as any
thing; press the layer down as solid as
possible, then sprinkle handful of
salt over to keep the next layer from
sticking. A cloth may be. put between
the layers, but it is not essential.

Hich-Grade Farm Butter.

: Better butter can be made on the
farm than at the creamery if the same
care is given. The managers of cream
cries secure the best assistants to be
had, and they aim to put good butter on
the market. The advantage possessed
by the farmer who makes dairy butter
is that he can feed his COWS on the best
foods, use more care and work with
cleaner surroundings. A large proper
ton of creamery butter is not uniform.
as the milk comes from many sources,
but dairy butter is injured in the
churning and manipulation of the
product by inexperienced persons.

The bill gives the foreman or secretary
of the jury the authority at the request of

is danger of mob violence, on account of
rape, or attempted rape, arson murder and

Atlanta, Nov. 17-Three indictments

shortage case
Two are against Thomas ]. Hunter, the
former auditor; the third is against Alber,
Howell, Sr., who was until recently the
union ticket agent.
The name of Mr.. George c. Smith, pres
ident and general manager of the Atlanta
and West Point Railroad and the Western
Railway of Atlanta, appears on all three
of the bills as prosecutor.
In one of the bills Hunter is charged
with embezzlement, and in the second
with fraudulent conversion and embezzle-
ment of the funds of the company.
Col. Howell is charged with embezzle.
ment.
A warrant was sworn out for Hunter
some days ago. 1t is rumored that he
has returned to his native country, Ire.
land.
When the examination of the union
ticket Office was completed, it was an
nounced by the Atlanta and West Point
Railroad that Howell was short with that
company about $4,000
The amount of the shortage with the
other companies which Col. Howell rep
resented in the union ticket office. is said
to be about 5000, making the total about
So. 600.
While Col. Howell has yet made no state
ment regarding the charges, his friends
have, at all times, declared that he has
never received penny of the money which
is alleged to have disappeared.
They claim thai Col. Howell paid over
everything to Hunter, an officer of the
road.
Hunters methods of obtaining the
amounts from the agents of the road were
shrewd, and enabled him to practice the
game for a considerable time without de-
lection
Col. II, NJ. Abbott, the treasurer of The
road, should have received all money from
the agents for tickets which they sold
Hunter would instruct the agents to make
returns to him in amounts varying from
500 to $500, telling them that he would
credit them on the books with the amounts
sent to him. The amounts were never
credited, it is said. Hunter pocketed all
sums coming to him in this manner so it
is claim. Cob Abbott. not knowing the
amounts of tickets sold by the agents,
could not discover that some of the funds
were going TO Hunter.
