Fads in Farming.

Get-rich-uuick schemes sometimes
show themselves in agriculture, ana
it is not the good farmers, the men
who are farming right and making
it paw. woh are caught by the schemes,
saws the Practical Farmer. A wnlle
back the Belgian hare was going TO
bring wealth to the raisers. Then new
crOps like broom corn were exploited
nv promoters and we had hundreds
of letters from men in sections Wnere
the crop could hardly be success,
wanting to know all about the grow
ing of broom corn. And these letters
were almost invariably from men VINO
had made a failure with the money
cron of their section and were ready
IN undertake another failure with
cron they knew nothing about. Then
the ginseng craze started, and the
same class of men bobbed up again,
wanting to know all about ginseng and
whether they could not make lot
tunes in growing it. 1t seems lna'
these fads must come up occasionally,
but the general intelligence OF the PEG
pie is now too great Tor them 10 w
the great harm that the Morus Null
caulis fever did back in the tnlrtles'
when everybody imagined tnat Cney
we're going to get rich in raising SILK
worms and reeling silk. Some effort
has been made in recent years TO start
an interest here in the silk worms
but the promoters are wisely comm
ing themselves to advising the Gull
tire on a small scale as family IN
dustry that will occupy the attentlon
of those otherwise unemployed ABOUT
the farm. While we have little talth
in the future of silk growing in this
country. it can do little harm in the
way it is now proposed. AS to GIN
seng. we have all along advised farm
ers to let it alone and we have seen
no reason to reverse the advice. Some
are making money, doubtless, In sell
ing roots and seeds at fancy prices
to those that they have induced TO
trv the culture of the roots for mar
ket. but we doubt if any OF these Will
ever make anything. While here ana
there a man may succeed with spe-
cialty not common in his neighbor-
hood. the true course for farmers In
general is to stick at their farming
and to try continually to farm better
with the crops that they have been
long accustomed to, and leave the
fads to those who have money TO
throw away.

NOMINATE rErER.

The graceful thing to do in the Second
congressional district is for the Republi-
cans to nominate and elect Charles F
.Tater as successor to A. G. Dayton, wac
retires from congress to 90 on tAe fed,

FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS.
Do Hair No Good, But Often Cause l

Many hair preparations are fake
because they are merely scalp irritants.
They often cause dryness, making the
hair brittle, and finally, liteless. Dam
druff is the cause OF all trouble with
hair. 1t is a germ disease, The germ
makes cuticle scales as 1t digs to the
root Of the hair, where it destroys the
hairs vitality, causing it to fall out
