Such storage buildings as the one
just described, which depends on the
outstanding and utilization of low tenn
perature during cold waves in early
spring and fall, would not, of course
fulfill their purpose during the hot sum-

adapted to a cold climate, such as is
found in the Northern States. Here
they can, In the opinion of the New

Their defect is that they do not main
tain a sufficiently low and even tenn
perature, and they would be Of little
use in a warm climate. 1t is, however,
but a step from such fruit house to

CLEVELAND POINTS TIE way.
Tells Democrats a Return to the OLD
Eai4l, Il 49,

a. 80 = , ~NC@GSSaIys
Former President Grover Cleveland
contributes to the Saturday Evening Post
of Philadelphia an extended article OH
the plight of the Democracy and the
remedy. NJ. Cleveland begins BY re
viewing the history of the party. and he
discusses its defeats since 1864 ii de-
tail. In taking up the e.aestion of the
present conditions Of the Democracy he
says that the success of the party in
1892 was so decisive and overwhelming
that long continuance of its suprem-
acy was anticipated Then came ..the
fallacy of free silver and pGpulism.
Mr.. Cleveland says: The elimination
of Democratic woe was reached when.
its compact with these undemocratic
forces was complete and when our rank
and file were summoned to do battle I'M
der banners which bore strange symbols
and were held aloft in unfamiliar hands.
The result of such a betrayal was fore
doomed. This Abandonment Of the prin-
clples OF trqe Democracy, this contemptu-
Gus disobedisnce. of its traditions and this
deliberate violation, of the law of its
strength and vigor were by decree as
inexorable as those of fate followed by
the inevitable punishment of stunning,
staggering defeat.
The disaster of 1872. invited by SINH
lar mad adventure, was quickly followed
by return to the professions and prac-
tees of sane Democracy. But the extent
and persistency of our wanderings in
1886 is illustrated in most astounding
way by the command, issued on the day
Of our rout and discomfort, that sec
ond battle should be fought on the same
field, with the same false war cries and
on the same leadership that had Wrought
US to the surrounding gloom of defeat"
Mr.. Cleveland breaches the return of
Democracy to its old faith, saying: Sin
cere Democrats of every condition and
in every part of the land realize that the
situation of the party needs repair Re-
organization is not necessary, but re-
turn from our wandering is absolutely
essential. Let us be frank with ourselves
and candidly acknowledge the futility Of
attempting to gain Democratic victories
except in the Democratic cause and
through Democratic methods.
If / should attempt to epitomize what
have written by suggesting a plan for
the rehabilitation and restoration of true
Democracy | should embody it in these
words, Give the rank and file chance"

Keep the Boys on the Farm.
A great deal Of plausible advice has
been given under this heading. which
may or may not be practicable when
applied to real life. But one secret Of
keeping the boys in the country home.
and thus solving the abandoned farm
problem, is in arousing their interest
and giving them some personal share
in that farm. something which they can
feel is their own, and which will be
theirs also when the time comes for its
sale. For this purpose nothing is better
than poultry raising. Many a boy has
become successful poultry keeper by
having pair of bantam fowl given
him when a child, and being made re-
sponsible for their care and keeping
Do not discourage the crude attempts
of the boy nor laugh at his enthusiasm,
but tactfully point out the best way to
accomplish the end he desires; show
him how to care for his little flock, and
foster his interest in every way. Teach
him about the nature and habits of the
hen, and cultivate in him the faculty of
careful observation.
AS the boy grows up, his interest will
deepen, and when the time comes that
boys are tempted away from the farm
by the attractions of city life, he viii
be unwilling to leave the business
which he has built up and which he
finds profitable Give him occasionally
a pair of fancy fowl; encourage him to
exhibit at the fair and to take pride
in the condition of the feathered COM
munity under his care.
A subscription to good poultry jour
nal or live farm paper. if he is at all
inclined to reading, will help to stimu-
late his interest. If the boy, the aver
age country boy, has a pleasant. mon
ey-making employment he will not Of
ten desire to leave the farm; and that
employment may often be found in
poultry raising. 1t is a business which
is never likely to be overcrowded. En-
courage the boys; they are the life
blood of New England. Maine Farmer.

The war in South Africa has taken an
unexpected turn. Gems. Dewet and De-
larey have apparently outwitted Lord
Kitchener in movement as brilliantly
conceived as it was adroitly executed.
For several weeks a Boer force has been
operating in a circumscribed territory,
partly in the Transvaal and in the Or
ange Free State. The British generals
sent in pursuit have lost heavily, their
forces narrowly escaping capture on sew
eral occasions. But while Delarey and
Dewet were engaged in drawing the Brit
ish troops northward from the Vaal riv-
er, much larger force of Beers has
crossed the Orange river, invaded Cape
Colony and seized Colesburg, thus begin
ming lively campaign in the region in
which Gatacre and French were held at
bay year ago. The danger to British
interests in this new Boer invasion of
Cape Colony lies in the menace of ris-
ing of the Dutch colonies. The Dutch
outnumber the English residents in the
eastern part of the colony and if they
should decide to cast their fortunes with
the Beers they could add thousands of
men to Dewet and Delarey's army, to
say nothing of the assistance they could
give in money and provisions. There
is in England, beyond question, a grow
ing sentiment favorable to the Beers.
Public meetings, called to express sympa-
thy with the burghers, are no longer in
terfered with, and men openly proclaim
their hope of seeing independence restor-
ed to the South African republics
