it when the farmers began to grow
tatoes they began to lift their
ortgages and cultivate bank ac
mnts. In the whole state of Wis
insin they raise 11,000,000 bushels of
otatoes and 5,000,000 bushels are
own here in this sandy potato patch,
ne year after another these have
'ought 40 cents a bushel delivered at
;e warehouses in Waupaca, Stevens
>int, Plainfield, and a dozen other
sail railroad stations, so that they
ive been worth 82,000,000. There
ere 3,500 car loads, or 1,350,000
ishels of potatoes shipped from Wau
ica alone last year, about 1,000 car
ads from Plainfield, 800 from Scan
navia, and in all 8,000 car loads from
iis potato district, which is forty
tiles long and twenty miles wide,
'his year it is estimated that the ship
lents will reach 10,000 car loads, and
he crop will be worth something
uore than $3,000,000.
The cultivation of 5,000,000 bushels
if potatoes has made that the princi
isl business of Waupaca. The town
>as no manufacturing, but the two
lanks of the place in the winter of
8t»3 and ’93 paid out $1,350,000 to the
'armers who were potato growers,
uast year the crop was short, and the
Doney paid out by the Waupaci banks
ell below $1,000,000. This year the
rop planted is large and it is in fine
ondition at present, so that they hope
or a big crop, but fear that the prices
rill be lower than they have been for
many years, and that the net profits
will be correspondingly lower. That
fche farmers have made money in this
business is very apparent to any one
traveling about the country and not
ing the farm houses and barns and the
general air of prosperity. There are
no great potato plantations. Few of
the farmers have more than twenty
acres in potatoes, while their
farms run from eighty to
ICO acres. They have learned
that it pays to fertilize and pre
pare their land especially for this
crop. They put in a crop of potatoes
one yeait follow that with a crop of
oats and clover the next year, and the
third year plow the clover under to
fertilize the soil for another potato
crop. By alternating the crops and
moving the potato patch from one part
of the farm to another each year they
have not only produced big crops of
potatoes but have kept their land in
excellent condition and better ferti
lized each year. They regard 100 bush
els to the acre as an average crop and
from twenty acres expect to raise 3,000
bushels, which will pay them from
$800 to $1,000 lor their crop. It does
not require much help to cultivate
twenty acres of potatoes and Ihe
farmer who has one or two boys can
attend the potato patch as well as the
corn fields and look after other gen
eral farming. The children can help
keep off the potato bugs by sprinkling
the vines with paris green, and the
potatoes become the money crop of the
farm. They have prospered and the
banks of Waupaca have an average of
$300,000 in farmers’ deposits
Nearly all these farmers started in
poor and had to mortgage their land.
They began this industry about twenty
years ago in a small way, and those
who engaged in it prospered so that
others followed their example. The
mortgages have been lifted from the
farms, new houses and larger barns
built, potato warehouses and cellars
nreDared. so as to enable the farmers
to hold their crops for a winter or
spring market, and potato has become
king in Waupaca county. It sustains
farmers, bankers and business in half
a dozen small citiea It gives the drug*
gists a big business in paris green,
ana this year those in Waupaca expect
to sell 100,000 pounds oi this poison,
which will be fed to the potato bugs.
They ship paris green into this city by
the car load and sell it by the bushel.
In the winter season the potato takes
possession of the market and makes
business for buyers, shippers, ware*
housemen, the railroads, and the
speculators. The buying and selling
of 1,250,uOO bushels of potatoes in a
small city of 2,500 population gives
work to many people. It puts more
than a million dollars in circulation
and gives business to the railroads.
The Burbank is the prime favorite and
constitutes about half the crop. It is
a good-sized potato, firm, without
deep eyes, and is considered the most
reliable, as it is also the best selling
potato in the market The Beauty of
Hebron comes next and after that
the Bose and the Peerless. The po
1 ato has made fertile farms, rich farm
ers, farmers who have retired on a
competence and have moved to town
to educate their children, sustained
bankers, general business, and two
railroads that run through this potato
patch.

From the Farmers' Review; The
article from the pen of C. R. WoodV.a
in your last issue was a most interest*
mg' one, giving as It did so many ex*
cellent “pointers” relative to the buy*
ing of sound horses. There are, how
ever, some points not touched upon in
that article that it would be well to
remember. If the reader will refer to
Dr. Wood’s article (page 374, June 13),
he will see that the propel examination
of a horse commences at the head as
described, and search is or should bs
made for the diseases, blemishes, etc.,
mentioned. Taking as correct the
statements made by Dr. Wood, the
writer will simply add some points
omitted, commencing at the head and
running over the body. Com
mencing at the head never forget to
closely examine the mouth, noting the
horse's eye and observing whether he
is a “cribber” or “parrot mouthed,”
also catch a whiff of his breath and
note whether it is sweet or not; foul
breath is not uncommon and suggests
a decayed tooth, chronic catarrh, etc.
The mouth, too, is sometimes so
tender that the horse is a bad

may be lacerated or calloused or
the bone injured in the lower jaw at
the seat where the bit presses. As to
the eye, recollect that wrinkled eye
brows are suspicious, as are very
prominent or depressed eyes; the
wrinkles are usually the relic of
periodic ophthalmia. Examine the
nostrils for discharge or ulcers; it is a
mistake to purchase a horse that is
running at the nose. Pass the huger
into the false nostril to see that no
tumor is present. Coming to the
shoulder the farmer should make a
very thorough examination as“atrophy
of the muscles,'’ “sweeny” is not the
only trouble of that region. The
shoulders should be free from sores,
abraded places, old callouses, deep
seated abscesses or fribroid tumors,
and all of these are easily discovered.
Now as to the feet. It is not alone
necessary that the foot should be free
from the troubles set down by Dr.
Wood. It should be sound in texture
and conformation, free from abnormal
growths following founder, should be
natural in condition and shape, not
opened out at the heels nor contracted
at the point. In examining for sound
ness, too, the professional man will in
passing his hand down the leg from
knee to hoof usually be able to detect
whether the horse has been “un
nerved” or not, and is surely an import
ant point to decide; corns should not
be forgotten when examining a foot,
coming to the hind quarters, never ne
glect to examine the scrotum of geld
ings as quite frequently horses have a
running sore and tumor, due to care
less castration; we refer to what is
technically termed “schirrous cord,”
which certainly renders a horse un
sound. If the animal examined be a
mare, see that she is not torn from
vulva to anus i. e. a “gill flirt,” for
mares so lacerated are most unpleas
ant animals to work. In examining
the region of the back remember to
look for curb, which in all horses ex
pected to haul heavy loads is a serious
defect; thoroughpin, too, is practic
ally incurable and easily detected.
Occult spavin mentioned by Dr. Wood,
can not be detected by farmers; but
they can at once recognize “mallen
ders” and “sallenders,” “grease” and
“grease heel,” and tell whether or not
a horse interferes, either in front or
behind. Taken in conjunction with
Dr. Wood’s remarks the foregoing will,
we trust, prove useful to farmer in
detecting unsoundness and defects in
horsea—V. 8., Cook County, 111.
Electricity vs. Horsea*
A party who writes a good deal un
der the nom de plume of “St George,”
has compiled some interesting sta
tistics regarding the number of horses
which have been displaced by elec
tricity and the bicycle. He reasons
from his figures that the sudden trans
formation of travel from the horse to
the electric car, and from the buggy
to the bicycle, has had a great deal to
do in precipitating the financial disas
ter in this country. It will be sur
prising to many people to know, he
says, that these modifications in
travel have thrown out of employment
twenty-four horses to every 1,000 in
habitants. That is, the number of
horses in the United States which
, have lost jobs on account of the intro
duction of the electric car and bicycle
amounts to more than 1,000,000. It
required $100,000,000 a year to buy
oat*, corn, hay and bedding for these
horses, and $12,000,000 to shoe them,
and $12,000,000 for harness and repair*
inf; harness. It required 200,000 men
to groom and drive them, and to feed
and hire this army of men required an
annual expenditure of $73,000,000;
then there was an outlay of $30,000,
000 a year to keep up the supply of
horses. The $100,000,000 worth of
oats, corn and hay that have not been
consumed has made a surplus, and con
sequently a shrinkage in value in these
products in the United States to the
amount of $30,000,000. The losa in the
sale of buggies, carriages and other
vehicles is probably $5,000,000 a year,
lie next gives a statement as to the
amount of money that has been taken
from the circulation on account of
sudden change in the methods of
travel, and estimates that this condi
tion of things has been going on for
five years. One million horses fed,
each a year $100, $500,000,000; $12 for
shoeing each horse a > year for five
years, $00,000,000; $12 for each pair of
harness a year for five years, $60,000,
000; 200.000 men at $365 a man for five
years, $365,000,000; $30,000,000 a year
for purchasing horses for five
years, $150,000,000; shrinkage in pro
vender a year, $30,000,000, for five
years, $150,000,000;

REPUBLICAN MATTERS
OUR DICTATORS.
Southern Democrats lltnt on Dnlrujrlni
Dullness In the North nml Went.
Democratic comments call atten
tion to the fact that the final recon
struction of the tariff bid is in
trusted to a conference committee of
which almost every Democratic mem
ber is from the South. But com
plaint is out of place. It has been a
sectional measure from the start,
aimed at Northern industries and
Northern capital, and intended to
cripple the prosperity and growth of
the Northern states. In the house
Messrs. Wilson of West Virginia,
Bieeklnridge of Arkansas, MoMillln
of Tennessee and Turner of (leorgia
are appointed, and in the sonato
Messrs. Voorhees of Indiana, Jones
of Arkansas, Vest of Missouri and
Harris of Tennessee. Those eight
men rnuko the tariff, and Mr. Voor
hees, who has been a mere dummy
wuairiuuu i/uruuguuut. not evon UOiO
to control his own vote or trusted
with charge of tho bill, is the only one
of the eight from a Northern state.
• Practically the same men have dic
tated all tho changes made in either
house, says tho New York Tribune.
Framed by Southern men tho bill has
been shaped at every point to serve
the interests of that section. Its
constant discrimination agaiust
Northern, and in fuvor of Southern,
interests, has been so outrageously
sectional that many Democrats have
indignantly protested, but to no
purpose. Tho South is in the saddle,
and controls the Democratic caucus;
it elected Speaker Crisp, of Georgia;
dictated committee appointments in
the houso, and gave nearly all Im
portant business to the control of
Southern men. In the senate the
caucus was controlled by Southern
senators, and framed the committees
with the same sectionalism. The
bill of sale and surrender is a South
ern product Exactly as in old
plantation days, the crack of the
overseers’ lash drives Northern
doughfaces to vote as the South di
rects.
Out of 12,000,003 votes cast at tho
last presidential election only 3,403,
000 were cast in all the sixteen
Southern states—a little more than
a quarter. Northern states east of
Indiana cast 4,400,003 votes in the
same election, and have notning to
do with framing the one measure of
all others which most seriously af
fects their industry. Other Northern
states west of Ohio cast 4,200,000
votes in the same election, and their
only part in shaping the bill has
been the pitiable incapacity of Voor
hees. That he docs not represent
his own state the votes cast this
year provo beyond question, and iio
does not represent his own declared
convictions early in the session. He
it was who vociferated that ho would
never—no, never—consent to grant
a protective duty for the sugar
monopolists, and but fo- his vote in
favor of it the surrender to the
sugar trust could not have been re
ported, nor could it have passed the
senate. With less stillness of
principle and manhood than a wet
dish rag, this one senator is the sole
senator or representative to stand
for Northern Democracy in the fram
ing of the tariff bill.
Have the 3,400,000 votes of the
South a natural and inherent righ't
to rule the 8,603,033 votes of the
North? is that Democratic doctrine
now, as it was in the days when
Southern chivalry sneered at
••Northern mudsills and greasy me
chanics”? Or do the Southorn brig
adiers consider that the triumphant
Confederacy has conquered the right
to make laws for two great sections,
each casting about a million more
votes than tho South? It is true
that Northern men of any party may
well thank their stars if they are
not in any way responsible for a bill
so disgraceful, so foul with corrup
tion, and so sure to bring disaster
upon its authors. But when dough
face Democrats of the North vote for
and pass a bill which Southern sec
tionalism dictates, millions will re
member how clearly it was predicted
in 1892 that a victory for Mr. Cleve
land’s party would subject all North
ern industries and interests to tho
absolute dictation of a vindictive and
sectional South. Tho men thought,
the prediction prompted by frantic
partisanship. Now they find that
the partisan fanaticism and the
shameless sectionalism are both on
the Southern side.
This one trial of Southern dicta
tion ought to last for half a century.
The insolent domination of sectional
chivalry in the fifties taught North
ern mudsills what Democratic dough
faces were, and exiled the Democracy
from power for thirty-two years.
This time the frightful reverses in
business, and the disasters to indus
try, and the sufferings and the losses
of labor, have driven the lesson
deeper, and the mechanics of 1894 ]
have roason to remember even j
longer than their fathers of 1860. '
Oh, Tammany, fewest Tammany.

Coming Soon.
The time will come when Mr.
Cleveland and other prominent Dem
ocrats will be held responsible for
their incendiary utterances in the
last campaign. They preached the
.V
doctrine of discontent and taught
workingmen to boliove that manu*
faotui'ors were their enomics. Time
they arrayed olass'against class, and
a great deal of the trouble whioh
has prevailed in different parts of tho
country is tho legitimate result of this
antagonism.—Denver Republican.
■ A WILP TEAM.
Mis Cleveland's Vain llforts to Handle
Ills Clinotiu Party.
Mr. Harrison proved to be a
prophet in tho declaration that Mr.
Cleveland would have a wild team to
handlo during his administration.
Mr. Cleveland has held tho reins for
over a year, and his driving has
been as disastrous as that of tho am*
bitiousyouth who undertook to guide
the horses of Hallos. Ho has brought
ruin alike upon his administration
and upon tho country.
It is not surprising. There are
many discordant elements in the
llomiiAnnt l/l nnntif nn>l 4 It In., lr 1VIH
Cleveland assumed was that of keep
ing: all these elements in harmony
with one anothor. He was compelled
to try to reconcile tho half Populist
spirit in some of tho Democrats of
the Southwest with tho cold and
selfish feeling1 which prompts tho
Democrats of New York and other
far Kastorn states. With the latter
he has sympathized and this has made
him do things that have been ob
noxious to the Democrats of the re
mainder of tho country. Hut at the
same time he has tried to satisfy the
latter, and whenever ho has made
that attempt ho has brought down
upon himself the wrath of tho New
Yorkers.
In regard to tho money question,
tho two groat sections of tho Dem
ocracy differ in the way above men
tioned. In regard to the tariff there
is moro seeming harmony. But it Is
on the surface only. As a matter of
fact tho Democrats do not themselves
know what they want in tho way of
tariff legislation, says the Denver
Republican Some of them are out
and nut free tradars, while others
are genuine protectionists. Thoso
elements may agree during a cam
paign, but when it comos to legisla
tion they are wide apart. This dif
ference has been one of tho sources
of trouble in the attempt to pass the
tariff bill, and it has added greatly
to Mr. Cleveland’s difficulties.
But what more than anything else
makes it difficult for Mr. Cleveland
to drive his wild team is the fact
that the Democratic party is without
a definite purpose or policy. It is a
party of principle only to the extent
that a declaration of principles aids
it in getting offices. It is not a party
of ideas. There is nothing aggres
sive about it, and when it is con
fronted with the duty of conducting
the government, it is unahio to do
anything, for the reason that it does
not know what it wants. Mr. Clove
lands horses are not broken to har
ness. He cannot drive them, becauso
in the first place ho himself is not an
experienced driver, and, in the sec
ond, because they have not been
trainea to pull together. It will be
well for the country when both
driver and team are discharged.
