POINTS FROM THE PRESS.

Monopoly in private hands is indie
feasible from any standpoint, so far as
the welfare of the people is concerned.
Monopoly in the hands Of the people
would stop destructive competition and
become justifiable, because in such a
case there would be no robbery, for all
the people and not few private mdi-
viduals would share the profits

Hon. John De Witt Warner, in his
Free Coinage Dissected," says on page
s: "a good deal Of complaint is made
as to the small amount of gold in the
world. 1t is the very fact that gold

makes it so desirable for currency

Hon. Roswell G. Horn said in 1893:
II am inclined to think that the world
should have larger amount of money
Of ultimate redemption than can be
supplied by the gold Of the world

The present secretary of the navy,
John d. Long, said in 1886: Let us
admit that our immense territory,
population, business and commercial
interests require the service of both
metals, and that to abandon either
would be source of contraction ana
disaster"
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Will
liam Window said in 1891: Let me
speak very plainly on this most impor-
tant subject. Believing that there is
not enough of either gold or silver in
business, l am an earnest bimetallist,
and concede to no one a stronger de-
sire than / feel for the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver as soon as condi-
'tions can be reached through interna-
tional agreement, or otherwise, by
which such coinage shall be safe"
President Harrison, in his annual
message for 1891, said: Il believe 1t
is the earnest desire Of great major
ity OF the people, as it is mine, that
full coin use shall be made of silver
other nations can be secured and ratio
fixed that will give a circulation
equally to gold and silver. The bust
ness Of the world demands the use OF
both metals"
This year the same hypocritical de-
nunciations of trusts were made by
state Republican platforms that they
formerly uttered against the single
gold standard. Republican denuncia-
tons Of trusts are now qualified by the
sentiment that "the legitimate corpo-
rations must be protected When
they get this trust question as firmly
in hand as they fancy they have the
money issue Qf they ever do), they
will openly declare in favor of trust
ownership and control Of everything.

mate corporations" AS If there was
ever such a thing as a legitimate cor
poration. A corporation Is an artifi-
cial man, created by the legislature.
without body to be kicked or a soul
to be damned. The creation of cor
poration, with limited debt liabilities,
while individuals are held liable for
all they owe, is the comforting of a
special privilege, which is abhorrent
to the principles of democratic form
of government.

Each American soldier in the Philip
pines costs the taxpayers $1,000 year.
This is five times as much as the aver
age wages of American coal miners,
farm hands and common laborers, and
these pay their share and more than
their share Of that $1,000 for each SOL
der. The men with the hoes and picks
and shovels won't be able to straighten
up until the man with the gun gets OFF
their backs.-Johnstown Democrat.
The Republican party had plank in
its last platform denouncing trusts.
The Republican party is in power. Why
wait until 1900 to act? The truth of
the matter is this: Such planks are
put in platforms to fool the people,
and the people submit to being fooled.
The people in the various parties are
to blame for the conditions that exist.

standard policy:

Mr.. Giffen said: at is moderate

which used gold in 184S, including
their colonies, were now using 1t, the
requirements to correspond with the
increased population and wealth would
be at least three times what they were,

rum"
Sir William H. Holdsworth, Bart,
says But the quantity of gold pro-
duced has been insufficient to meet the
extraordinary demands arising through
the adoption of gold by the countries
which have demonetized silver, In ad-
dition to the ordinary requirements OF
gold-using countries, arising from the
increase of population and the extern
sion of trade"
The Bankers Magazine said three
years back: at Is unquestionably true
that the depression from which the civ
ilized world is to-day suffering is due
to some extent to the small quantity
of gold existing for the enormous re-
uuirements made on the metal"
Mr.. Walter Bagehot says: "Proba-
bly, if there were gold enough for all
the world it would be best that there
should be only single standard OF
value throughout the world, and that
one gold; but this is impossible. Some
have doubted If there Is gold enough
even for the nations that now intend
to use it, and there certainly IS not
enough for all the world"
Mr.. Edward o. Leech, formerly d.
rector of our mint, says: Passing by
the great question of the fall In the
gold price of commodities, so far as
such fall is due to monetary causes,
find that one of the most serious dan
gers which confront us Is the insufi1-
cheney Of the supply Of gold as basis
for the present and prospective busl-
ness Of the commercial world"
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles
Foster said in 1891: ut is now agreed
on all sides that gold alone furnishes
too narrow a basis upon which to con-
duct the money affairs Of the world
Mr.. James G. Blaine, in his Twenty
Years in Congress-" says, having ref
crence to the then Republican con-
gressional majority: This class
feared the effect of an exclusively
gold standard while the supply of gold,

mands of the world is relatively and
rapidly growing less"

Bacteria I'm MINK.

Bacteria in milk, which either favor
ably or unfavorably affects it and its
products, is the lowest form Of vegeta-
BILE life. The milk can is good deal
like the farmers field with respect to
vegetable growth. Every farmer knows
that unless he takes very good care Of
his fields they will be filed with weeds
that not only POSSESS no value Of their
own, but are seriously injurious to
those forms Of vegetable life that are
useful. Similarly bacterial vegetation
exploits itself in the milk can. Unless
you take care of the milk can those
forms corresponding to the weeds--that
is, the hurtful kind-will multiply i'm.
mensely and destroy the usefulness
the milk and of the helpful kind of veg
citation in it, whereas those that ar
helpful to the milk and its produc
must be carefully cultivated and Il.
hurtful kind kept out.

How to keep boys on the farm is as
much a question in the south as in the
north and west. Speaking Of this The
Western Agriculturist says: "While
scientific agriculture is an inviting field
for the farmers sons, the highest
achievement is attained by the breeders
of pure bred stock. Note the large num-
Der of public sales the past year where
$40, 1000 to $50, 900 worth Of surplus
young stock was sold and the breeding
plant retained to keep up the supply Of
pedigree stock for the regular annual
sale. All kinds of pure bred stock are in
demand, and nothing will interest the
boys like the pedigree stock that sells at
good prices. There Is commercial,
businesslike fascination about it that
win interest the boys and keep them on
the farm. Scientific breeding Of the Inn.

Many dairymen are not aware Of the
loss there is in butter fat on all farms
where cream is raised by setting in ice
water, cold water or cold air varying
with the season. This loss is likely to be
very large in summer and less in win
ter. This loss, carried on year in and
year out, amounts to large sum when
a whole herd is taken into account. The
Kansas experiment station has been en-
deavoring, by three days test of a
private dairy, to determine how much
this loss is. They find that the skim
milk contains from 8 to q Of per cent
Of butter fat, or an average Of "A Of /
per cent, while the buttermilk tested
IL per cent Of butter fat. The herd of
five cows tested showed a loss Of 129
pounds Of butter per year lost in the
skimmilk and 81 pounds lost in the but
termilk, total loss Of 100 pounds. or
81 pounds per cow. This, at 90 cents per
pound, the price received from private
customers, means a loss of SO. 40 per
cow per annum. The farmer with 90
cows would at this rate save $128 per
year by using farm separator, and we
believe this estimate is not far from
correct.

for cheap production. But where alfalfa

PROFITABLE FEEDING.
Double Price For Grain FED to Dairy
Cows.

ANY farmer would be glad to sell his
corn and oats at twice their market val
ne. says The National Stockman, and
while this is not possible in the ordinary
way Of marketing it is perfectly feasible
II the grain be fed to a good dairy cow.
There are certain conditions necessary
to insure this, it is true, but they are
not out of the reach Of the farmer with
small means. Warm stables, plenty Of
pure water well above freezing tenn
perature, plenty Of good wholesome food
and kind treatment-these are within
the reach Of any one who owns one or
more cows
For the first expensive barns are not
necessary. Straw stuffed walls are warm
and cheap. There are many wind swept
COW stables in this land with straw 60
ing to waste in the same yard. Build
ing paper is very cheap, but windproof.
Water from a well or spring is a
great deal better than ice water for a
cow to drink. The latter chills her
through and through. A COW ought to
drink heartily at least twice day, yet
with few swallows Of ice water she
becomes chilled and does not take half
30 much Of such water as Of that Of q
higher temperature.
Where COWS are watered from an
outdoor tank, tank heater will he
found very wise instrument. 1t will
pay for itself many times over before it
is worn out. All farm animals prefer
water with the chill of, and the milk
COW will give a greater quantity Of
milk if this is provided for her. Bank
up the tank around the outside and
hinge q cover to one side, raising this
only long enough for the animals to
drink, The warmer the water up to a
certain point the more they will con-
sumo. On a cold winter morning water
Of so or 80 degrees will be consumed
with avidity, although go degrees is
probably sufficiently warm.
AS to the food, we have found wheat
bran indispensable. Not only is it un-
excelIed as a milk producer, but it keeps
a cows system in good order, being
cooling and laxative in it's action. To
go with this one may use ground corn
and oats, half and half, the entire ration
being composed of one-half bran, one
fourth cornmeal, one-fourth ground
oats. This ration will appeal to the
general farmer, but bran fed with glu-
ten meal comprises an equally valuable
ration and one not more expensive eli
ther. The proportions may be varied
from one-fourth to one-third by weight
