a REPUBLICAN TO THE RESCUE.

IT a deaf ear be turned to the warn
lngs of Democratic statesmen, that the
absolute gold standard will bring I'M
told misery to the nation and its people,
let the language of United States Sena-
tor William Eaton Chandler, Republi-
can, from New Hampshire, penetrate
this thick envelope of Grass prejudice.
Senator Chandler opposed the present
currency bill, and among other things,
said:
Those who have absorbed the gold of
the world are trying to make it more
valuable by legislation. That is the
natural meaning of the first ten lines
of the Senate bill. There is no need Of
the law for any other object. Abso-
lutely no other purpose is to be sub.
served by those lines. The passage of
the bill without adequate recognition
of the desire and determination of the
American people that silver shall be
remonetized Is defiance of the Repub-
lican platform of 1896. and without
such recognition in the bill cannot
give to 1T my vote. 1t would be un-
qualified gold monometallisnl and to
advocate or submit to this is abandon
ment of Republican principles.
ANY retarding Of the movement to
make gold more valuable does not suit
the gold class. Further steps are there
fore now demanded, not only that the
existing silver coin shall be put out
from the condition of real money and
placed in the condition of credit money:

1t is claimed that clover hay may be
baled in the field, but the experiments
made are not sufficient to show the
benefits derived compared with storing
clover in the NOW. The clover is cut in
the morning, after it is free from dew
or rain, and when well wilted the hay
tedder is used, SO as to give it every
chance to cure. In the afternoon the
hay is baled and hauled to the barn.
If this method is practiced care must
be exercised in having the hay proper
ly cured and in just the proper condi.
ton for baling, as bnled clover is more
liable to heat than timothy or other

me hardest task In maintaining a
constant and continuous egg yield is
to keep the laying stock In prime con-
dition. This means such condition of
perfect health that the eggs will not
only be laid regularly, but that they
will be of uniform size. according to
the breed laying them. Under such
conditions we should have large eggs
from Minorcas. Leghorns. Plymouth
Rocks and Brahmns. When such breeds
lay small eggs, abnormally large eggs
with perhaps double yolks or soft
shelled eggs, the stock is out of condi-
ton and usually oyerfat. The eggs will
thus be laid irregularly, and many
times laying will stop entirely. Layers
should be kept active. and activity is
induced by short feeding. A hungry
hen is usually good layer.

THE FAULT OF THE AGE.

The fault Of the age is mad endeavor
To leap to heights that were made to
climb;
By burst of strength, or thought most
clever,
We plan to forestall and ontwit time.
We scorn to wait for the thing worth
having;
We want high noon at the days dim
dawn;
We find no pleasure in toiing and saving,
As our forefathcrs did in the old times
gone.
We force our roses. before their season,
To bloom and blossom for us to wear;
And then we wonder and ask the reason
Why perfect buds are SO. few and rare.
We crave the gain, but despise the get
ting;
We want wealth-not as reward, but
dover;
And the strength that is wasted in useless
fretting
Would fell forest or build tower.

interests of that party than anything
that could possibly be done by Con-

1t Is curious to note that every trans
action connected with this boundary
has been carried out only after pro-
tracted delays. There was much serI-
GUS contention about 1t in England,
long before Richard Penn and Lord
Baltimore agreed in London, in 1866,
that Charles Mason and James Dixon
should be sent over to survey and es-
tablish the line with visible and dura-
BILE marks. 1t was no easy task. The
territory TO be traversed was wild and
rough, and the Indians were trouble
some. In fact, in 1867, when the sur
veyors had completed the monuments
to within thirty-six miles of the Della
ware line, the chiefs of the still power
full Six Nations compelled its cessation.
The stones used to mark the bound
airy were quarried and carefully cut in
England and shipped to America as
they were required. At the end of each
mile stone having the letter P on one
side and NJ on the other was set up;
and a larger post of the same material
was erected at the end of every fifth
mile, having upon their respective sides
