Lavish Appropriations.

We denounce the lavish appropriations oI recent repuoilcan congresses, which have kept taxes high and which threaten the perpetuation of the oppressive war leVies. We oppose the accumu!ation Of a surplus to be squandered in such hare faced frauds upon the taxpayers as inc shipping subsidy bill, which, under the false pretense of prospering American shipbuilding, would put unearued millions into the pockets of favorite contributors to the republican campaign fund. We favor the reduction and speedy repeal of tne war taxes and return to the time honored democratic policy of strict econ omy in governmental expenditures.

Facts and Figures.

Any person who will take the
trouble to investigate the condition
of the farmers in States where
strenuous efforts are being made to
help them IN their life work by liberal
appropriation, will find q decided
difference in comparison with the
farmers Of other States, where but
little or nothing is done, aside from
individual effort. Compare, for
instance, the value OF lands in Illi-
nois with those in Georgia and South
Carolina. Lands in the former
State have q an average value Of not
less than than $50 per acre. while
those OF the latter States can EASILY
be bought at from s. to 50, ordrna'
rily. The farmers of Illinois have
been highly educated through their
institutions in the development: ol
both plants and animals. The vest
majority in the Two southern State:
as above named know but little he
yond the cultivation Of plants. and
the knowledge is restricted to al
mcst one plant alone cotton. W.
use chemical manures to keep ON
lands poor, while the Illinois farm
ers build theirs up to the highes
state Of fertilit? bv the use of barn
yard manures and the diversified
culture Of grasses and grsins.
The native fertility of our soil:
are equal to those of Illinois they
are as capable of Improvement
We have all the advantages OF eli
mate and seasons. Tie reverse il
value should be true: at least oul
lands shonld command as high o.
higher prices than those located il
sections possessing unequal natura
advantages.--Ex.

The Cotton Crop Of 1900.

The high prices Of cotton now
ruling are leading to . careful analv-
sis of our expectations of the crop
Of 1900, and the present estimate
seems to center on about eleven
millions OF bales. This amount will
hardly lie sufficient to meet the
wants OF the cotton consuming
world, when we consider the cnor-
nous development IN cotton con-
sumption that has arisen because OF
the low prices that have prevailed
during recent years. The govern
ment's report on the acreage to
produce the last crop, indicates
$4,000. 900 acres thus employed.
The reports on the acreage for 1900
indicates an increase Of about 8 per
cent over the acreage Of 1899, and
the general character OF the stand
is better than that Of last year
Messrs. Murphy & Co., OF New
York, in taking up these data and
allowing for tue increased acreage
OF 1900, and assuming the average
yield per acre since the crop Of
1898, arrive st tue conclusion that
the coming crop will very nearly
reach eleven millions of bales.
We think it fair to assume that il
our cotton planters can keep out Of
debt, SO as not to have to slaughter
all their Gotten at once in the au-
tumn, they will find the crop of
1900 to be one of the most profita-
BILE ever made.-Soutbern Farmer,

Summer Weather Here
and Elsewhere.

July brings summer weather, and
the official reports form all parts OF
the Union show that it has already
done so.
1t may be remembered that some
OF Louisiana's delegates at the Kan
sss City Democratic Convention
most loudly complained Of the in
tense heat OF the weather there,
although they were thousand miles
north Of their home.
The simple fact is tina: the PEG.
pie Of New Orleans have very little
to complain Of as to their summer
climate. The mercury seldom goes
above 30 degrees in the shade, and
there is nearly always q breeze
blowing. balmy and deliciously re-
fresi,ing, over the southern waters
Of the Gulf Of Mexico.
Kansas City and other northern
points far in the heart Of the CONT
nent are apt to he snffocatingly
hot in summer and severely cold In
winter, because they are not tenn
pered by the winds and moisture
from the sea. A reference 10 the
government weather reports Of yes
terday show some interesting facts
For instance, while the maximum
at New Orleans was 30 degrees, it
was 96 ut Charlotte in the North
Carolina mountains % at Chatta-
nooga, in the Tennessee mountains !;
81 At Chicago; % at Davenport,
Iowa; Sc .. Denver, in the Rocky
Mountains 81 ut Dodge City,
Kansas; 90 at Kansas City; % at
Knoxville, in the Tennessee noun
tairs; 80 at Marquette Mich. 80
at New York: 96 at Omaha; 90
az st. Louis, and SO at the National
Capital.
Why should anybody, save for
the cake of travel and change, leave
New Orleans for comfort? Close
al hand are the resorts along Mis-
s,ssippi Sound and tue pine woods
along Lake Po2cLartrain. Then
there are the lakeside and music
park resorts in the city limits.
where one can enjoy the sea breeze
while attending the performance OF
pleasing light opera, or listen to the
music OF good olcl,estras. All this

penditure, and more comfort cannot

or course the wealthy will 90 away.
hut we who must remain are not TO be

Curing Peavine Hay.

An increase in the pea crop must
invatiably be followed by an in
crease in the crop that succeeds 1t,
whether it be wheat. corn, or cot
ton. Hence, the feeding OF the
peas and the increase of the forage
crop starts the increase all around
from the manure pile to the granary
or storehouses, and year BY year it
will 60 on in an increasing ratio.
simpy because you feed the crop
that feeds the land. There has
been . notion that it is necessary to
go to a great deal Of trouble to cure
peas into hay. The fact is, that
there is no hay more easily cured.
Then when the first pods turn yell
low NOW the peas, and after they
have wilted, during the day, rake
them into windrows before night.
Turn the windows over the next
day. The next day, il you take q
bunch Of hay and give it q twist,
and can see NO sap run TO the twist
put the hay away under shelter. A
close barn is best, but it will cure
we'll enough anywhere under shelter,
or even in = stack, il the stack is
capped with straw or grass tina:
will shed the rain. The wllted vines
will heat after storing, and il you
go to opening them to cool them off
you will certainly make mouldy hay +:
but il let strictly alone they will
cure into beautiful hay. Some have
failed in this curing, but hundreds
have succeeded. NY owu horses
have been feeding all winter on
bright-colored pea hay made in this
way, an6 they have kept in good
order. Where the hay is very
heavy it will have to be left out a
little longer than when light, but
get it in while the leaves are still
limp, or you may lose the best part
of the hav.-Ex.

New York, and when he takes the
stump in that State he will bring

Democrats who supported McKin.

the spectacular Roosevelt OF the

him. The campaign will be the
