The funeral procession still
winds its dreary way up and down
Wall Street, pausing at intervals
to bury low record price for
some stock or mourn the passing Of
a dividend. Tire stocks weak, rub
Der stocks weaker, steel stocks
very weak, motor stocks tottering
that's the story.
We are not selling to Europe be-
cause millions there are not buy
ing. And in asinine fashion we
now keep out European immigra-
tion, thus keeping away millions
that might come in and consume
goods here on the spot.
Leaving that sad Wall Street
funeral, which hasn't half finish
ed its journey toward the lone
tomb, here's q suggestion for
farmers:
TRY sosoitg UNHULLED sWeet
I cloUer seed on your old pasture
neat January. In the Genesee val-
ley farmer raised s.0eet clover
for seed, had a lot left over, not
passed through the hulling ma
chine. The nnhulled seed tods
throaon on a tOoSn out pasture. The
nert spring the sioeet clover s0as
knee high
Many farmers IN the valley are
no0 sotoing ts,rhuIled ssVest clover
In the late fall. Country ,ceekliss,
please tell farmers about this eS-
pertinent. II nseons labor saving,
the best kind of fodder, and soil
enriched BY nitrogen that siDsst
clover takes out Of the afr.
Be sure to SOTO the seed NOT
HULLED. Hnlled seed throWn on
the gros1nd toould be killed by the
frost.
Two other farm items. In one
Maine county farmers dumped for
ty-five thousand barrels Of pota-
toes to BE- plowed under as ferti-
lizer-no market.
Bella Pontiac, champion COW of
the world, owned by Mr.. B. A. Bar
ron, of Brantford, Ontario, in the
past twelve months has produced
PILOT pounds of milk, which yield
ed 1,537.75 pounds Of butter. Think
of producing more than your own
weight in milk every fourteen days.
Breeding pays.
George Bernard Shaw writes
q book, Back to Methuselah."
He thinks that in the year 1892
men will live a thousand years.
But they win not, luckily. Shaw
says modern men never live long
enough to do any good. That's
a mistake. They live as long
as their brains are ready for
new impressions and able to
create new ideas. About the
time they think they know
everything, nature wisely gets
rid of them. Think of million
men each thousand years old
as well satisfied with themselves
as Bernard Shaw. Could any
thing be more horrible? Even
tualiy men will live from 140 to
$50 years, for each mammal
should live ten times as long as
it takes to reach the reproduc-
tive age. When we live longer,
we shall probably think longer.
The convict ship Success Is
again exhibited in New York.
You may see her dungeon cells,
without ventilation or light, her
whipping posts, punishment
balls, manacles, and strait
jackets. When those things were
used there were 145 capital
crimes on the English law books.
And all that SEEMED PER
FECTLY RIGHT AT THAT
TIME.
There are things that seem
perfectly right to us that in a
few years will also be hard to
believe. For instance, twenty
five thousand mothers die in this
country every year in child
birth, tens of thousands of chill
dren die in their first year-and
a ladies' anti-suffrage association
opposes the suggestion that
Government should spend money
to save those mothers and their
children. That's worse than any
convict ship.
