they are on the verge of ruin, whilst at
the same tiras placing mta-j at bank
to their credit. But if so, the question
arises, why ao much changing from
'one rented farm to another, which if at
all like the same thing here, denotes
anything but prosperity or satufao
tion.
The fact was plain that many farmers
were deaenfrating into mere agents
for either the owners of the cattle
which they fed, or the land they tilled.
. Mao oasea were met where no stock at
. all waa fed, which in England It a ae
rlous matter in farming; and in case
even the pigs were sold off soon aa lit
tered. This means a close approach
to poverty; and In Suffolk and Essex
especially, there are In consequence
many once lucrative farms lying In
weeds. The Scotch of the lowlands

In considerable numbers to Essex, a
county art! lining Loudun; but steady
filling an old stocking by thrift, does
not mean any more there .than the ad
vent of cheaper livers would here. The
thought arises, whether it should be
&eoearr for the farmer to work away
a long life ia an effort to merely make
enas meet, wnen tne worm arouua mm
is full of nam rat pleasure, which it
should be his lot to partake of, equally
with the urban population, whicn flock
to the seaside, lake and muuntnin lu
multitude tor recreation. It Is a
change in scene that often gives pleas
ore, but the farmer sees i he name place,
the same faees, and often times living
wlthia a few miles uf the ocean, never
sees i s majesty, or feeis its refreshing
influence. The only change that could
be discovered in the farmers hum1rum
life was the weekly visit to market.
There at least good fellowship as.erts

The cattle marko's are always well
attended and plentifully supplied. The
eight of so many flue steer is to be seeu
no where else in such perfection. The
profits of the business, however, seemed
to be very variable Here one would
think comes io one ot the mistakes of
the English cattle feeder. All feuding
itock is purchased f.'ora either the
Irish graaler, or the foreigner; the
Dane more often than others This
eystera makes the prime cost very high,
as muchtts 175 being paid for average
two year old atock steers. The selliug
piioe when fat the past season was
from tUO to 1130. Considering the cost
of feeding thre ia a bare profit, iu fact
tome have to be satisfied with the ma
nureoloft for the laud.
The favorite money crop seemed to
be barley, many asserting that wheat
and cattle paid little or nothing .and
were only htaJlel with to hope
that they might There are however
two classes, both small, who apparently
were making the farm pay one the
city farm buyer, who with capital,
could command an experienced stew

ourselves. We think we huvo discov

same man woul i pay hlui $50 to $75 for
his young cattle.
The labor question is also a factor.
The system of farm ng for a large pro
portion of grain and the the growing
of roots necessitates a heavy labor hill,
and in spile of low wages 8 si 00 to $3.00
per weea without board the number
employed affect the assets considerably.

The Homestead Again.
GILBA.D. Neb, Jan. 6, 1893,
Editor Alliaw : I notice in TflB
Farmers' Alliance of Dec 8Ut. an
open letter to the Iowa Homestead, by
Rev. N. II. B. of Minneola Neb , and I
wish to make a few remarks corrobor
atlng bis statements of the sneaking
way in which the Homestead U being
used as a tool by the g o. p. to win
back the farmers to their fold.
Thayer and Jefferson counties as
well as Holt county, are being flooded
with sample copies of the tiomntead,
each copy having an editorial on the
Farmers' Alliance warning it v.ot to
dabble in partisan politics, but to ex
periment ou tne most economical way
to raise 8o , hogs So cattle, and SOo
wheat.
It also advises the farmers in an ar-
tio e entitled, "The Farmer and the
Laborer" not to unite with the -'labor
ing olemont" because "their interests
are theoretically the si me but not ap
parently tne auie." i r-s ino aomnt ad
knows and says the fai mers and labor
ers Interests are l ha same, only an ap
parent difference; but we should not by
any means get together and find this
out for fear it would completely destroy
th-! g. o. p.
How well the old party loaders are
manipulating the political wires!
While the tJomesttad is warning the
farmers agaiubt united political action
with the "laboring element," the U. na
na Bee is advising the laboring class not
to unite with the farmers, because thy
are capitalists and Irving to break down
their wages. The Hex even denounces
the grand and pood T. V. Powderly for
advocating their united politic! actio a.
Now 1 would inform these two hire
lings of the g. o. p., in the language of
the greatest of Americans, "you may
fool all the people a part of the tim,
but vou cannot fo 1 a part of the people
all the time," and the part that you are
not fooling at tne present time is tne

I have resolved to write a few lines of

respected paper. Not became I am
ovetilowiDg with talent, but because I
am so terribly interested in the welfare
of abustd humanity. It U pleasant for
mo to hear from farmers and their
wives and daughters through the col
umns of The Alliance, and others
may feel similar. We want to work up
a family feeling all over the state, and
to do tbU we must be more sociable
Tell in our simplest manner what our
greatest interests are, and how to regain
our niHirues. 1 am not talking to-u gat
under tho shadow of the Amaucs lor
that ''excludes politics." I want to say
to vou, brothers aud sister, that we
eau't study nur iot&rects too much ?s
liborers and producers I We know '.h. t
we do not gut for our products what we
should hate- But prics are made by
our money kings in their oern interests,
and we are obliged to submit.
t he remedy is to go on in. our well
doing, stick to the iudependent party,
and pav no attention to tho abuse that
is heaped upoa our leaders, such epi
thsts as "communists," "calamity howl
ere," etc ; but a' and up to the work just
as we did when soldier boys, toucuing
elbows aa we advance, and we will win,
for trod is on tur side. Don't let u be
divided, rather submit to a few wrongs
than lose our rights. Prepare for our
(-eeming) hard work in our leisure, and
io! it 1 easy. This will win in 03, if
each of us make proper use of the talent
our Master has entrusted with us.

Th Horse In Battle.
An officer of experience, writing on
ths behavior of horses in battle,
says: "Vt hen it comes to battle, a
horae seems to knoweverythingthat
is going on; but be does his duty
nobly nnd seems to be in his element.
He enters into the spirit of the bat
tle like a human being. He shows
no (ear of death, nnd it is singular
that if his mate is shot down, he will
turn to look at him nnd seem pleased.
A horse in my battery was once
struck by a pie e of shell which split
his skull so that one sids wns loose.
The driver turned him loose, but he
walked tip by the side of thegun and
watched the firing, nnd when a shot
was fired would look awny in the di
rection of the enemy as if too see the
effect of the shot. When a shell
would burst near by, he would calm
ly turn nnd look at it. When he
aw his own team going back for
ammunition, he ran back to his own
place and galloped back to the caia
Kn with t lie rest. When the lieuten
ant pushed him aside to put in an
other horse, he looked at the other
one sorrowfully while he was being
harnesses up, and when he seemed to
realize that there was no further use
for him he lay down and died. The
lieutenant stronlary asserted that he
died of a broken heart." Court

Tupper's Egotism.
Sir G D , a personage not un
known to fame, once encountered the
late Martin Farquhar Tnpper on a
Clyde steamer, and was accosted by
him in these terms: "I perceive that
1 am not the only distinguished man
on board." Mr. Tupper smiled not
as he spoke, being quite in earnest
and, indeed, wishing to pay RirG
what be conceived to be a bisli com
pliment. This little incident occurred
on deck. Presently Mr. Tupper went
down into the cabin, but beloredoing
so handed his umbrella to a young
lady, a perfect stranger, to take enre
of it for him. "Young lady," ho ob
served to the astonished recipient of
the umberella, "you will now be able
to say in after life that you once held
the umhereHa of Martin Tnpper."
nmesmileless expression as before.
The story is told of Tupper that one
evening he attended a dinner party
alter having lost his portmanteau in
the afternoon, and nt the table, when
he had talked a great deal about his
loss, a wit who wns present inter
rupted him by saying: "If 1 had lost

been justified in boringa dinner ta

A Dog Coaxer.
"Doc Trofit" Holloway, the tramp
who was found a short time ago in
Connecticut, nearly dend from expos

the fascination he exercises over
dogs. He has been seen accompan
ied by as muny as twenty-five dogs,
and he always has from four to ten
with him. Almost any iloir will fol
low him with hall an invitation, it
is said, and when he coaxes no dog
can resist him. Valuable dogs have
been known to leave their mastersto
take up with Holloway, and, when
brought back would seek the first
opportunity to join tho beggar.
Holloway has been so long a wan

Bogus Coffee,
Lookout for a new kind of cofle
that is not coffee. Some clever
Frenchmen at the island ol He-union
have discovered that the fruit of
the wild ornnge that grows there
has thearomuofthecoffee berry. As
it costs less to raise the wild ornnge
than the regular coffee, naturally
the planters are substituting the
lormer for the hitter, and the gov
ernment even has ordered that a
great part of the highlands on the
island be reserved for the cultivation
of the new bogus coffee. Oue bright
gleam on the coffee horizon is the
fact that the new berry will be so
cheap, that it will, if its culture suc

weather permits the extension will go
farther north and reach the Canadian

struct ing a line in a southerly direction
from Regina and this line will connect
with the Valley City extension of the

there will be a continuous track from
Vancouver on the Pacific coast by way

the supreme court was appealed from
Shiran northern Iowa district. Attorney
General Stone presented the settlers'
cause.

China, in the following report to the de
partment of state, Washington: '-There
are no roads In this part of China. The
streets of Foochow are from six to twelve
feet wide, many of them covered with stone

and are perfectly execrable. We have
no wheeled vehicles, and, as a consequence,

"Nearly aH the counterfeit coins afloat,"
says nn expert to a writer in Epoch, ' are
silver pieces. As the whole process of
making gold coins is more expensive than
making silver ones, so it is more expensive
to counterfeit gold than silver coins.
There are always a good many counter
feit silver dollars floating about, although
during the last few years there has been
no peroeptib'e Increase in them. There
are comparatively lew spurious gold pieces
out."
