FARM NOTES. —Decrease the size of the entrance of your hives when the honey crop is over, but be sure and have it very large during the honey crop. —Fodder cut somewhat green, before the leaves turn yellow, is said to be highly rel- ished by horses when shredded, bnt much depends upon the stage of growth at which the fodder is cut. —Plant walnuts where you wish the trees to grow. It is not necessary to re- move the hulls. Cover to the depth of two inches. Plant a row which can be used for transplanting to vacancies that may occur. —To prevent disease spreading in an or- chard dig up every tree that shows signs of being affected, and then use spraying solu- tions on the others. In the fall it will be found beneficial to use air-slaked lime free- ly on the ground, both for trees and vines. —Wheat stubble and refuse may be the harboring places of chinch bugs and other enemies. As soon as it can be done rake up all refuse and fire the pile. The fall of the year is a good time to fight the enemies that do the most damage in spring and summer. —It is of no advantage to haul the manure to the field and leave it in heaps. The rains will leach it and much of its plant food will be deposited in spots on the field. If the manure is hauled to the fields it should be at once spread evenly on the surface of the ground. —Soils are said sometimes to be ‘‘sour,”’ and lime is recommended to correct their acidity. In most cases a good underdrain will effect a permanent cure. These sour soils are usually very rich when drained, as their acidity has kept the most exhaus- tive crops from growing on them. —The fruit-grower who would be suc- cessful must decide upon being a constant user of insecticides, to know their compo- sitions and uses. and what to apply in various emergencies. Paris green will have no effect upon sapsuckers, nor will kerosene destroy those which devour the leaves. —DBurning over the strawberry bed is work which some will not perform for fear of injuring the plants. A grower who desired to test the method piled straw in the spaces of a few of the plants to the depth of six inches. The foliage of the plants that were burned over was of better color the next season and much heavier than on those not so treated. —Fence posts treated under the follow- ing manner will last a lifetime or more. Posts that have been in the ground seven years, when taken out, were as good as when they were first put in the ground. This is the receipe : Take boiled linseed oil and stir in it pulverized charcoal to the consistency of paint. Put a coat of this over the timber. —Barb-wire fences will not confine sheep, or certain kinds of dogs that are well covered with hair, unless the strands of wire are very close, and even then a shaggy dog will work himself through the fence, despite the bars, with but little in- jury. If the dog cannot get through he will dig under the fence, hence a strand of wire should be below the ground. —Store the tools and implements under shelter. If possible take them apart and give the pieces a thorough cleaning with kerosene, which will assist in preventing rust. It would be also an advantage to sharpen all blades, and be in readiness for work without delay as soon as spring opens. All repairs and extras should be ordered now, as it may require days or weeks to secure them at a time when work is press- ing. —A man or an animal can endure any amount of ventilation during the day, but when night comes the animal, like the man, delights in a warm and soft bed, free from cold draughts of air. The cold draughts in the stable frequently come along the floor, chilling the animal when it is at rest. This fact should teach the farmer that he will make no mistake in using plenty of dry bedding, and it should be thick and loose, thus preventing draughts from below and assisting to retain the animal heat. —A poultry house is not simnply a place in which the fowls should roast. In win- ter, when the ground is covered with snow, the hens are almost helpless, and must re- main inside. They should have plenty of room on the floor, which should be kept covered with cut straw or leaves, in which they can scratch and work. Overfeeding on grain is the cause of hens not laying, and it also leads to double-yolk eggs, soft- shell eggs and disease. Each fowl should have ten square feet of room on the floor ; that is, a poultry house 10 by 10 feet should accommodate ten fowls. —Work that does not pay in the fall may bring good results in the spring. Every fence corner, or other harboring place for weeds, should be cleaned out. Every weed means pernaps a thousand seeds, and hundreds of weeds may grow therefrom in spring. The seeds of some weeds are light and can be carried to every portion of the farm by winds. To avoid work in spring that is unprofitable clear every weed off the farm now, and as soon as it can be done, as every day’s delay gives the seeds an opportunity to mature. —It is a good plan to plant all peach pits when itis known that the fruit has been grown on trees free from yellows. If the peach is an extra good one, it may well be left to fruit on its own stock. Some Kinds of peaches reproduce themselves from seed and all kinds of this fruit are more likely to produce something nearly like themselves. If the native fruit proves to be worthless, a few buds inserted higher up after it has grown large enough to show what it is, will change it to whatever variety may be desired. —The canaigre plant, commonly known as ‘‘tannin weed,’”’ which heretofore has growd wild on the bottoms of the eastern slope of the Missouri valley, is now being successfully brought under cultivation with indefinite possibilities of adaptability to agricultural conditions before it. The bark produce used for a century in the tanning of leather. and which has built up a great American industry, is now well- nigh exhausted. To take the place of bark, the production of ‘‘tannin’’ or tannic acid promises to be the future resource for the manufacture of leather. -——Subsecribe for the WATCHMAN. The Dingely Deficit. Debt Increasing While the Trusts are Wallowing In Prosperity. The deficits of revenue still increase. | Though, according to McKinley, Hanna | and Dingley, it was necessary to call an extra session of congress in order to pass a tariff act which would produce enough revenue, the measure which was the outcome of their deliberations has already rolled up a deficit of some $18,000,000 in two months. This is a most surprising record. The internal revenue taxes which the Re- publicans.overlooked produced $1,000,- 000 increase, yet the total deficit was larger than ever before in our history. If continued at this rate, it would pro- duce a debt of over $100,000,000 in- stead of the increased revenue of $113,- 000,000 predicted by Mr. Dingley in his first guess. The deficits seem to be regarded pret- ty coolly by the Republicans. They need reminding that only a few months ago they were loudly asserting that the deficits of the Wilson tariff were ruoin- ing business. Now the Dingley deficits are doubly greater. Are they not ruin- ing business? When the Republicans called their extra session to carry out their agree- ments with the trusts, it was announced that the first work would be ‘to restore confidence’’ by making the receipts equal to the expenditures. Well, the re- ceipts are not equal to the expenditures by some $18,000,000. Are we to under- stand that confidence has been restored in some unpremeditated, impulsive way? Singularly enough, the Hanna papers that harped so long on deficits have no more to say on the subject. In their lexicons there is no such word as de- ficit. When the topic is introduced, they resolutely look the other way and main- tain a silence as profound as that of Bill McKinley before he secured the Re- publican nomination. The worst of it is that the Hannaites have an argument, if they only knew it. They could point to the fact that though the governmént’s account is overdrawn and its debt in- creases, the trusts are literally wallow- ing in prosperity.—Kansas Citv Times. ‘A Monstrous Job Planned to Cheat the Government Out of $20,000,000. A ring has all 1ts plans laid to cap- ture the Union Pacific railroad and cheat the government out of at least $20,000,000. If this plot succeeds, it will be followed by a similar robbery in the case of the Central Pacific. Conspicuous among the members of this ring are J. Pierpont Morgan and Collis P. Huntington. Attorney General McKenna, who con- sents to this robbery, was appointed to his place in the cabinet through the in- fluence of Huntington. No honest reason exists why the Union Pacific should not be made to pay every dollar of its debt to the govern- ment. The aided portion, on which the government has its lien, is a paying property. Congress refused to authorize the deal with the ring, known as the reorganiza- tion committee, which, with the active concurrence of the attorney general, will be consummated unless the pres- ident forbids. This he has ample power to do. The law of 1887 provides a way for dealing with the Union Pacific whereby the treasury can be protected against this intended plunder and the whole debt collected. Why should the administration has- ten to do between sessions of congress what congress has declined to sanction? That body will convene again within less than two months, and a matter so important as the public’s interest in the Union Pacific railroad cannot in decen- cy be disposed of without the participa- tion of the people’s representatives. The Union Pacific ring has hatched a monstrous job of brigandage, and the administration is threatened with a scandal the like of which has not shamed the country since the Credit Mobilier exposure. President McKinley’s own reputation is at stake.—New York Journal. Hanna Deuies the Power of a Protective Tariff to Raise Wages. rianna is apostate to the principles of protection. The excuse for protection has always been that it raises the work- ingman’s wages, no matter what the condition of the labor market may be. Under protection it was not necessary that the surplus labor should be em- ployed before wages would rise. Protec- tion would inevitably bring about a rise. But Mark Hanna says of the pres- ent situation, under full protection: ‘‘It is necessary that business should improve so much that the surplus of labor shall be used up before it is pos- sible that the general scale of wages shall be advanced. It is the same old principle of supply and demand.’ Thisis very significant. It practically denies the power of a protective tariff to increase wages. Not until the surplus labor—the thousands begging for work in the large cities and tramping the country—is absorbed can wages be ex- pected torise. No one claims that un- der protection surplus labor is ever ab- sorbed. If this were so, strikes would succeed under protection to a greater extent than under a low tariff. But they do not. Mark Hanna knows, if anybody does, that it is the law of supply and demand that fixes wages and not a high tariff. And he has in an unguarded moment said so, thereby announcing himself an apostate to the McKinley doctrine. More Substantial. ) Mr. Hanna is not depending upon his war record or the big crops. His hope is in his bar’l and Uncle Sam’s bar’l. The Party of Trusts. But for the trusts there would today be no Hanna. In fact, there would be 20 Republican party. Governed by Trusts. Laws Are No Longer Made by and For the People. Money is the Supreme Power. Monopolies Have Grown Bold In Corrupting Legislatures—Their Stool Pigeons In Every Caucus and Convention. Brazen Parade of Absolutism and Wealth. The invasion of congress and the state legislatures by the hired lobbyists of the trusts is nothing new, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. These aggrega- tions of capital have made bribery one of the fine arts and have reared up a school of professors to apply it in the interests of what they call their vested rights. These fountains of corruption not only furnish bribers, but bribe tak- ers. The knowledge that out of their millions some hundreds of thousands will be used in the legislatures to se- cure immunity from investigation and ‘‘protection’’ from adverse legislation has bred a large class of men who “‘run’’ for congress and for places in the state legislatures as an occupation. These wretches press themselves forward upon party managers ag candidates upon the very ground that they will be accept- able to the great institutions which in- dulge in the luxury of a lobby. Indeed, the trusts and the great corporations kindred to them furnish a good propor- tion of the party managers themselves, or, to make it plainer, they accept the services of those who have a faculty for local leadership and pay them well for protecting them when nominations are made. Thus, between the thieves who want to buy legislation and the thieves who desire to sell it and the panders who go between them taking toll from each, the legislatures of the greater states sometimes become the mere prop- erty of the trusts. Of course bribery is a felony in those who give and those who take, and in those who are mere promoters of it, but justice is blind, and great and wealthy rogues are seldom pestered about such little peccadillos as bribing legislators. It was not in the mouth of Jack Cade, but in that of the broken old King Lear, that the great master put these words: ‘Plate sin with gold, and the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks; clothe it in rags, a pygmy straw will pierce 167 In our time the robbers who steal our legislators in order to make them steal from the people for them are not satis- fied with getting away the mere plun- der. They boldly tell us that it is good for us to be robbed, and that we do not understand our interests if we oppose it. The great trusts assure us that they shower benefits upon the people. They say that competition is not ‘‘the life of trade,’’ as we had supposed, and that if it prevents monopoly it does the public great harm. Monopoly—the name of which has been the synonym for the spoliation of the many by a favored few from the time of the Tudors—now thrusts itself into the public view as a public benefactor. Trusts bring down the price of goods, we are told, and we are asked to remember how much dear- er every commodity was before they en- tered upon their philanthropic career. Syndicates are steadily at work consol- idating additional enterprises. The tendency is to have one railroad compa- ny in the United States that shall em- brace them all, one telegraph company, one steel and iron manufacturing com- pany, one brewing company, and so on. The Whisky trust, the Cordage trust, the Beef trust, the Flour trust and the Coal trust are all at work, each to ab- sorb all the interests kindred to its own in order that there may be no competi- tion. They say these consolidations largely reduce the number of people who have to be employed, reduce the number of officers and their expenses, and the dear people are told that they receive the benefits of all these reduc- tions. ; Railroad traffic associations march up to congress and demand the removal of all limits upon railroad pooling. They say that reasonable prices for interstate transportation should not be an object of solicitude on the part of the federal government, and that states which cre- ate railroad corporations and confer upon them the sovereign right of emi- nent domain to condemn roadways ought not to regulate their dealings with the public. Dividends for the rail- road and ‘‘the public be damned’ is declared to be the law of the railroad business. Monopoly enriches the stockholders at the expense of the public, while com- petition insures fair rates. So said the railroad kings themselves 20 years ago when they were opposing legislative regulations of fares and freights. ‘‘Leave us alone,’ they said. ‘“We cannot op- press the public because competition be- tween ourselves will restrain us.’ New they reverse all this as above described. Pools take the place of competition in transportation rates, and trust combina- tions take the place of competition in trade. It costs a great deal of money for the trusts to maintain their power in our state legislatures and in congress. Leg- islation comes high, but they must have it. They have lobby chiefs all over the country who do their bidding. The people need not be told how these leeches eat the public substance through manipulation of state and city govern- ments. They not only take what is in sight; but, under the guise of prosecut- ing public works, they issue’ bonds at will, which consume the earnings of the people, visiting the indifference and imbecility of the fathers of today upon their children to the third and fourth generations. Once on a Time. Mr. McKinley once condemned the lemonetization of silver. This was be- ore he fell into Hanna’s hands. Wolcott's Failure. The public will doubtless be thunder- struck at the news that Senator Wol- cott’s bimatallic mission has failed. It was understood that he would effect free coinage as soon as he had seen a few more crowned heads. Medical. Medical. New Advertisements. A FEARFUL EXPERIENCE A POSTMASTER LOSES THE USE OF HIS LEGS AND ARMS. Edwin R. Tripp, of Middlefield Centre, Meets a Hazardous Encounter Which Renders Him Helpless. From Otsego Republican, Cooperstown, N. Y. Mr. Edwin R. Tripp, the postmaster at Middle- field Centre, N. Y., recently had a dangerous ex- perience which left him in a helpless state. His system was so much shattered that it was feared he might never recover. In an interview with a reporter of the Republi- can, regarding this experience which had attract- ed considerable attention, Mr. Tripp stated : “In March, 1892, I was taken with what I after- ward learned was locomotor ataxia, and was un- able to walk, and I kept getting worse until I lost the use of my arms. I doctored with two skillful doctors but received no benefit, and also used a galvanic battery but kept getting worse and the doctors told me they could do no more. This was in May and June, 1892. I gave up all hope of ever having the use of my limbs again, and did not ex- pect to live very long. I was unable to dress or undress myself, and could not get around the house unless I was moved in a chair. “I think it was in June that I read of the case of a man in Saratoga Co., N.Y., who was taken very much as myself. He had taken Dr. Wil- liam’s Pink Pills for Pale people which contained in a condensed form. all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and re- stores shattered nerves, and had been cured by their use. “I learned that the pills were prepared by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schneetady, N. Y., and only cost 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 at any druggist’s and sent for two boxes. I used the pills faithfully and they gave me an ap- petite. I then sent for four more boxes and he- fore I had taken all of them my feet and legs which had been cold began to get warm. “I was a member of the Town Board that sum- mer and had to be carried and put into a wagon to go to the meetings, and in fact was helpless, as my neighbors know. In August I could walk around the house by pushing a chair. I kept get- ting better and managed to move around more, until election time that year, I walked with a cane to the polls, a short distance from my jhome. I continued to take Dr. William’s Pink Pills for Pale People until I had taken eighteen boxes. I could then get around, and to-day walk to the post office and back, a distance of one-quarter of a mile, three times a day, and attend to my duties as postmaster. “In the spring of 1892 I was elected town clerk which office I held for three years, I had previous- ly been a justice of the peace for thirty-two years. I am now 70 years of age, and have lived in this town for about forty-six years. For nearly fifty years I worked at the blacksmith’s trade. I am able to do work in my garden now, and saw some of my wood. I consider that my restoration to health is due to the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Epwix R. Trirp.” Subscribed and sworn to before me this 23rd day of June, 1897. Hoyer Hanan, Notary Public. THE TRUE REMEDY'—W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, Ill., Chief, says: ‘‘We won’t keep house without Dr. King’s New Discovery for Constipation, Coughs and Colds. Experimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King’s New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, ete.” It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. King’s New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at F. Potts Green’s Drug Store. Castoria.
