ABOUT s0ILlNG CROPS.
ly Just Now by All PrOgress-
i've DaiPymen. u.

An old adage hath 1t that closing
the barn door ater the theft Of the
horse is not the best method Of pre-
venting burglary. Yet it is held to
be worth while as discourager OF
further pilfering. The dairyman who
this past summer has seen his cows
shrinking, feels iuclined to shut tn.
barn door. How may he do this
best? II he has planted soiling crops
like peas and oats, Hungarian millet,
and the like, and has been supple
menting the dying pastures with
green feed in the barn or yard, he
has closed the door before rather
than after the theft. Moreover, the
necessity for the summer feeding Of
grain is greatly lsssened. II he has
no recourse to soiling crops, nothing
but buying grain can lessen the
shrinkage. The Vermont experiment
station has for many years expert
mented with soiling crops, and recon-
mends TO dairymen the large use OF
summer ensilage and of oats and peas
sown at weekly intervals, and fed
during July and August. Ensilage is
probably the cheaper food; oats and
peas somewhat the better. II the
former is contemplated as steady
summer diet for years, it would be
well to consider the erection Of a spe-
sial summer silo, preferably round,
with a small diameter and a relative.
ly greater depth. Ensilage spread
over a large surface in summer spoi.s
rapidly and loses largely in feeding
value. II oats and peas be chosen.
they should be sowp in successive lots
at weekly intervals, the two sown
separately, the peas first rather deep
le and narrowed in; the oats two or
three days later and bushed in. A
better catch is likely to be secured in
this way than II sown together. The
crop may be either fed green, hayed
or put in the silo. Let those whose
July and August milk yields prove
disappointing try ensilage or oats and
peas next year.-Country Gentleman.

SOUTHERN REPRESENTA-
Prospects OF Another Force Bill ny
Way of Furnishing the
Demacrata.

The radical wing of the republican
party is evidently anxious to revive
the bloody shirt. The Washington dis
patches hint of another force bill,
modelled after the one which passed
the house but was beaten in the SEN
ate ten years ago; of a reduction in the
congressional and electoral representa-
ton of the south; of an attempt to
unseat Senator Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, and to throw out Kentuckys
electoral vote; and of wholesale un-
seating of southern democratic repre-
sentatives in the next congress-a1l of
which seems TO be detached parts of a
more or less carefuily-arranged plan
to punish the south and make it suffer
for the crime of remaining democratic.
For the democracy of the south, and
not her denial OF the suffrage to the
negro, will be the real reason for
whatever war may be levied against
her by the republicans in congress.
The republican party long since ceased
to care what becomes of the negro, If
it ever cared for him except for his
vote. The south could to-day purchase
immunity and carte blanche to dis
franchise every negro. if in return
Mark Hanna and his agents could be
sure that republican congressman and
electors would he forthcoming.
How is the south to be punished for
the crime of being democratic? BY an
other force bill? 1t is rather late in
the day for ideas which smack of the
reconstruction period. and recall the
terrible wrongs inflicted upon the
south by the republicans during that
era. By a reduction of southern rep
resentation, so as to base the represen-
tation not on the population. but on
the vote? How would such a plan af-
feet old abolitionist Massachusetts,,
which enforces an educational test?
Take North Carolina, for instance. No
one doubts that it is constitutional to
enforce an educational test; the dis
puted point is in regard to the ~"grandfa-
Their clause" which is intended to pro-
tect illiterate whites in the right to
vote, while the illiterate negroes are
excluded. The supreme court has not
yet passed upon the constitutionality
of this provision. Should it be declared
unconstitutional. that would dispose
of the race Determinations; all litter
ates would be treated alike. But should
it be declared constitutional, what
then? Would congress actually reduce
North Cardinals representation as a
punishment for exercising a constitu-
tional right?
The south is dealing with the race
question as intelligently and we'll,
probably, as n community in the

fallen the burden imposed by the
wholesale acknowledgements of a race
just out of slavery. With the general
support of popular sentiment in the
north. the negro has been eliminated
as an element of control in the adj
ministration of public office in the
south. The elimination of the negro
may be made the pretext. but should
the south suffer it will be not for that,
but for her democracy.-Albany Argus.

OPINIONS AMI POINTERS.

1t is neither kind nor just to
guished democrats who have come
owe to the republican party since the
election. These gentlemen are really
self-sacrificing patriots. They realize
hat the democratic party is in need
of publication: hence they get out of
it.-Chicago Chronicle.
The fact of the matter is that
the administration realizes that a diff
ficult task is ahead of it in the Phil
ippines. for which more soldiers will
be needed than it dares avow. IF,
then, some scheme can be railroaded
through congress which will permit
of a great army obtained under false
p~retenses all will be well. This is
ingenious, but scarcely practicable
The American people cannot be fooled
all the time.-Boston Traveller.
What the republicans are accus-
toned to call a democratic funera1''
has repeatedly been only the prelude
to a democratic victory With this
fact of history for their enlighten-
ment, we cannot suppose that the re-
publican leaders are hugging the de-
fusion that they have nothing TO APP
prehend in the way of opposition in

SOMETHING OF A TRAVELLER.
a Busy City Man who stnl Finds
a Little Time to Cover n Few
Thousand Miles.

II travelled 5000 miles last year" said the
mild clerk of the ribbon counter, and
had no idea we had so extensive a country"
He looked around with conscious pride
and a swelling bosom. A veteran in the
shoe department took him up, says the New
York Sun.
Five thousand miles," said he, with
scorn. Only 5000 miles? Why, bless your
innocent young heart, / Travelled Is, 40 miles
last year, and viii do it again this year, and
all l kr5w about the extent of cur great
and glorious country is cleaned from the
map. How did | do it, Easy enough
twenty-five Years ago | married, and for
the benefit of future generations | bought
a little place 80 miles in the country. Twice
4 day for six days in d week ] nave been
going up and down to that little place for
. years, not counting side trips. That Is
to say | have Travelled 800 miles a week.
which, multiplied by %, makes 46S, 600 miles.
Nearly 20 times around the world, that is,
and almost from here to the moon and back.
On, my boy, you don't know what travelling
is until You live in the suburbs and be-
come a eominuter. Five thousand miles?
My soul and body, that's hardly a constitu-
tional.'
And the ribbon clerk shrunk into himself
and wished he hadn't mentioned his jour
uey.
