or who has low lands on which he can
grow what corn he wants without iu-
terfering with his upland cotton soils.
1t is too directly in the line of What
we have been insisting for years, that
the true way to increase our sale crop
is to fed literally with potash and
acid phosphate the clover and peas
that are going to feed the soil and feed
cattle, too. OF course tue rotation
might be extended to take in the corn
and winter oat crops, but II the priIne
object is to grow cotton and grow it
cheaply the two-year plan proposed
will be found as effective as any. The
feeding of the clover and pea vine hav
to stock will furnish a source of profit
and give manure for cotton. Sell your
cotton seed to the mill and buy an
equal value of potash and acid phos-
phate. The clover and peas will take
care of the nitrogen.-W. L. Massey, in
Texas Farm and Ranch.
The Lesson We Learn.
All this is poetic. Yes, we can not
see spring and not see poetry. We
can not feel spring without feeling
poetry. We can not breathe the
breath of spring and not feel the
throb of poesy in our blood and veins.
Next to immortality and the resur-
rection morn, no mightier truth ever
takes possession of the human soul
than the thought of spring.
Almost if not altogether born anew
untold millions of living things be-
gin to move and breathe and grow.
DO you ever stop to think what it
is to grow? Fellow farmers, grasp the
thought if you can. Upon the power
to grow rests your hopes of living.
Through a long, dreary, cold and
rainy winter, you have waited for the
time to come when your crops could
begin to grow.
TO you the coming of spring means
everything. If winter continued farm
ing would cease.
But with spring new hopes revive.
You have been depressed. You have
been troubled. Unpaid labor have felt
tempted to give up the farm. You
have longed for some other work to
90. Prices of your produce have been
so low that you have not had money
enough to keep you in comfort. If
winters icy grasp had continued much
longer you would have been ready to
give uD.-Southern Cultivator,

UCol. William Jennings Bryan has
been seen a great deal in Washington
lately. He has been frequent visitor
at the capitol, and in his calls shows
a marked preference for the senate.
He has more personal friends in that
body than he has in the house. Indeed,
his principal backing is in the senate.
Up to within a few months Col Bryan's
appearance at the capitol was the sig
nal for crowds to gather around him
for many an impromptu reception. To-
day he fails to arouse more than a
languid interest, and he may haunt the
marble room or parade the rotunda all
day without being interfered with by
people getting in his way. Judging
from surface appearances, the colonel
is overturned, and his sponsors and
managers would be much delighted If
he would seek much needed seclusion
from public observation for awhile.
His insatiate' greed for notoriety pre-
cludes that, however. = Washington
Special.

UThe United States is in better
shape than any other nation for cross
ing the Pacific. Its geographical po-
sition and rights of defense entitle it
to this advantage. West of San Fran
cisco, the first stopping place is Homo
lulu, distance of 2,10G miles. From
Honolulu to Guam is 1887 miles, and
from Guam to Manila, by the course
usually travelled around the north end
of Luzon island, 1880 miles. Most of
the larger ships of the navy can make
the runs without recoaling. Within a
few years the American cable will be
in operation along this route. and it is
probable that we shall acquire some
coaling stations on the coast of Asia.
In a short time it will be seen that our
expansion in the Pacific is not imperial
istic, but legitimately commercial

UTreasury officials say that within
three years the stock of free gold in the
treasury and in the reserve of national
banks has more than doubled. That
means that the currency of the country
has been enriched and strengthened in
that proportion. If Mr.. Bryan had been
elected president in 1896 the situation
would now be very different.-Indian-

The Dakota Ruralist makes a good
point SIN regard to the appointments
which Governor Lee made and the re-
publican senate would not confirm. Its
object II refusing to confirm was to
create vacancies IN two years and hen If
the republicans should happen to have
the governor two years hence,they would
get the appointments themselves and
! then control the boards. Referring to
the appointments OF members. Lien and
Brown. on the board OF charities and
corrections the Ruralist says: Then the
senate failed to confirm the appoint
ment OF Lien and Brown as men,
bers of the board Of charities. But the
senators likewise failed to reject these
appointments. In case they had re
jected, Governor Lee would have been
compelled to make 'recess appoint
ments" to till the v%ancancies but as
they did not reject there are no vancan.
cies and the has issued commissions to
Lien and Brown. The appointments are
for six years. There is little doubt that
the senate having had these appoint
ments before it for six weeks and having
adjourned without rejecting them. such
action is equivalent to confirmation. a
recess appoint would hold only for two
years, or until the next session of the
legislature.

Thanksgiving Day--in boarding house!
/ know they'll do their BEST
But somehow or other the things to eat
Will not have half the zest
They had for me in the days gone by
When my own especial part
OF the festal bird which graced the board
Was the drumstick and the heart.
can shut my eyes, and see ii vet
The table snowy white.
With jellies aud pickles and rich preserves
Home made-and they tasted right
And the turkey Drowned to perfect tint
By the home-folks' kitchen art,
And boy--that was me--who was clamoring
For the drumstick and the heart.
And pumpkin pies-notlthe present kind
That they served in a narrow slice.
But two inches thick. and quartered fair.
And tingling sweet with spice,
But first of all you would bow your head
For the blessing-then you'd start
To eat, by way of expressing thanks
For the drumstick and the heart.
Gravy, too, that was rich as gold,
And mashed potatoes--my!
don't see how we could eat 1t all,
And still have room for pie.
And ALWAYS, when would pass my plate
At the Thanksgiving dinners start,
1t came back to me. and its load would be
The drumstick and the heart.
Thanksgiving Day--in boarding housel
But know twill be spread,
Done TO a turn and served in style,
From turkey down to bread;
And will enjoy it perfectly
If memory does not start
Back to the days when secured
The drumstiok and the heart.
A fellow ought TO give thanks. perhaps,
That he has a place to eat,
But still. he can't help wishing that
He could only shove his feet
Under the table at home again,
And eat from turk TO tart
As he used to do when he always got
The drumstick ana the heart.

1t is held by the Boston Advertiser
that one of the inevitable effects of
such industrial movements as that
which is now going on is that the cost
of living is steadily increased. A glance
at the household bills in almost auy
family today, when the figures are com.
pared with those of five years ago. for
example, it says, shows an inc1 ease
in the cost of almost every article
enumerated. The advances are SO many
and so varied that it is impossible to
state with any exactness what the
average increase in the cost Of living
has been. Outside of rents it is probable
that the increase is over rather than
under 10 per cent. As yet rents have
not advanced in quite the same pro.
portion; but in those sections where
the advance has not yet taken place it
is expected that rents will be increased
during the coming year, when real
estate boom ! anticipated.

The currency Bin.


1t is stated in a Washington sreciai
that the currency bill prepared as n
Republican party measure and to be
presented TO Congress at the coming
session, makes a flatfooted assertion
that gold is the standard of value in
the monetary system of the United
States. Another feature of note is the
establishment of a separate bureau Of
issue and redemption in the Treasury,
in accordance with Secretary Gage's
recommendation in his first annual
report. This, the more advanced mem
bers of the committee consider, is the
nearest approach just now practicable
to theradical measure of abolishing the
independent Treasury altogether.
By another paragraph the national
banks are permitted 10 issue notes to
the par value of their bonds deposited
with the Treasurer to secure circula-
tion, and the tax thereon is removed.
On this point Of an increased issue Of
bank notes the committee was divided
in sentiment, part of the members be-
lieving that further elasticity should
be given to the currency by authoriz-
ing the issue of unsecured notes up to
the amount of say 20 or so per cent Of
the capital of the issuing bank, with a
graded series of taxes which should
reduce the profit on such emergency
circulation in proportion to its increase
of volume, but their colleagues felt
that this would be too radical for a
party measure, and the more moderate
counsels prevailed.
A third provision which will attract
attention is that authorizing the Secre.
tary of the Treasury to exchange gold
for silver at his discretion. This.
again, was a compromise between ex-
treme views. some members rreferring
to ignore the whole subject and others
| wishing to make the exchange com.
| pulsory. As the committee has left it,,
all doubt as to the legal right Of the
Secretary to make such exchange is
removed. 1t will be recalled that
through all the first part OF his ad-
ministration Secretary Carlisle used to
| insist that there was no law authoriz-
ing him to exchange the one metal for
the other directly, although there were
indirect ways in which it could be ac-
complished, il 10th parties were suf-
ficiently anxious for the exchange.
Later he changed his mind, and fell
back upon the declarations of policy in
the acts of 1890 and 1893, to keep the
two metals at a parity, ruling that il
necessary to maintain the parity be
would exchange gold for silver.
II is we'll known that Secretary Gage
would rather have had the new act con.
tain mandatory clause on this subject
but that he will not hesitate TO make
an exchange of the two metals at the
legal ratio whenever necessary to main.
tain the parity. There was case
of actual exchange once during Mr..
Manning's administration in 1885,
when Treasurer jordan exchanged golo
certificates to the value of nearly
| Sc, ,000, 900 for fractional silver cur.
rency, although the law was not sup
posed to authorize such transaction
in terms.
The new bill is of uncommon clear.
ness in phraseology, and, it is believed,
| will be all the easier to put through
