HERE Is ono class
of people engaged
In farm work Mint
la nlmost entirely
Ignored by writers
on agricultural top
Irs, and tvo never
hear of qr from
them. Thoy toll on
year nftor year, and
aro content If their
$ "' condition does not
prow worse. I refer to the tenant farm
ers of the country. Wo will, with your
permission, give a short description
of the system of tenant farming as it
ll 'conducted In Madison county, Ohio.
J Tenants may bo. divided into three
distinct claseos. In the first class nro
those that hayp considerable capital and
carry bank accounts. They lease largo
farms, paying from $2.60 to $3.00 per
acre per annum. Thoy hire nil their
work' (jono on the fnrm. They haul
Tory little grain to market, feeding It
Instead to stock at homo. Somo mako
a, specialty of sheep and others of cat
tle. Tho payment of tho rent Is by note,
with personal security.
Thc second and more numerous class
of tenants Is composed ot farmers of
small means, having little stock, a team
of horses and a couple of cows. Thoy
nro (60 poor to hlro help, nnd will not
rent more thnn 100 nor loss than SO
ner'epr They pay from $4 to $0 per nrc
per nnnumr This Is secured by chattol
mortgage on the growing crops, or, tho
landowner gets one-half of tho grain
raised, which must bo hauled to tho
markot by the tenant. In addition to
this, tho tenant pays rent for tho house
lie occupies, as well as for tho pasturo
for nil of his stock, except tho team
necessary to plow and citltlvnto the
land. Tenant houses rent nt from $2
to $1 per month.
Tho third clnsH of tenants Is not so
largo as tho second class. It Is raado
up tpf thoso that have been closed out
by landlords for rent. They have no
slock of nny kind. Then ront a house
and garden lot, nnd the owner hires
them to work by tho day. for which thoy
receive $1 per day. This Is for com
mon every day work on tho farm.
Chitting and shocking corn' Is dono by
the shock, tho price being 4 cents per
shock of twelvo hills square. This was
the price paid last fall.
$oarly every tenant has a horse and
-carriage. As all our mnln roads nro
.graded nnd graveled, wo have many
eafrlagos and buggies running, nnd
some peoplo claim that our good roads
a'ro a bad thing for poor people, as thoy
'causo unnecessary cxtravaganco In the
tray of carriages and harness. John M.
Roborts, In Farmers' Review.

1 ' It' Is quite Interesting to note tho
(values of land as affected by tho truck
gardens. At tho time of tho last gen
eral census there were In the United
'States something over hnlf a million
acres of Innd devoted to market gar
dening, or, In common parlance, truck
liJrmlng. More than half of nil the
ffireaB devoted to this branch of farm
ing are found along the Atlantic sea
board. They have been divided, ac
cording to their great centers, into five
cbo districts, Thcso nro called tho
Now York nnd Philadelphia, tho. Penin
sular, Baltimore, Norfolk, South At
lantic The value of land varies great
ly.,.. In" the New, York and Philadelphia
district the land averages $220.11 and
value of produce per acre Is a little in
excess of $195,
. Inthe Peninsular district, which In,
eludes the eastern shore counties of
Maryland and Virginia, together with
the state of Delaware, tho value por
ncr,e was only $98.76, nnd the value of
the produce per acre was ovor $90.
In the Baltimore district tho land
had an acre value of $97.50, and tho
product brought $102.
In the Norfolk district tho land was
worth $135.50 per acre nnd the Income
per, ncro was $104.
The South Atlantic district had a
pcri'acro valuation of only $45.25, and
tho" receipts for truck wero $119 per
acre.
By, these results wo boo that tho prof

expensive lani in tho suburbs of the
great cities.
Corn Foililrr.
A big crop of corn moans also a big
crop of corn fodder, nnd to the wise,
Intelligent farmer tho fodder in almost
as .useful and Important oa tho grain
itself. What an idea to waste corn fod
dcrVwhy, it is worth about the same na
timothy hay for feeding. Of course.-to
be$?orth as much' as hay It must be cut
early, dried as soon as posslblo and
then stored away from rain and snow.
It is a very poor plan leaving shocks
oulin the field until winter sets In,
for tho nutrltlveness and pnlatablllty of
corn fodder decrease rapidly through
the effects of exposure to wet and
storm. Strange, farmers do not realize
this fact moro clearly! How often corn
stalks are still In the Hold even after
tho advent of hard frosts and blinding
snow storms! Tho farmer must follow
in the wake of tho successful manufac
turer and curtail wastC3, There must
be no waste and certainly it la unpar
donable to waste any fodder so valuable
es cornBtalks, The cows relish the corn
fodder as a supplement to their hay and
enBllflgo. After fine fodder tho coarser
fodder is very welcome and coneumod
with great avidity. Tho farmer who
uses his cornstalks moro closely can
either keep more stock than ho other
wiM would or he may sell a portion of
his No. 1 market hay and be bo much In
pocket Tho corn plant, car and atalk
together, forms tho great foundation of
dairying. What would farmers do with
out It? It Is moro cssontlal than any
other forago plant, and tho stalks aro
not of tho lenst value W. P. Perkins,

Tho subject of tho scml-centonnlal
colobratlon of Wisconsin as a stnto was
introduced, nnd nfter somo discussion
as to whnt part of tho work tho society
would assume, on motion J. O. Plumb
of Milton was mado the historian of tho
Boclety to collect and prepare matter
to bo printed for distribution as the so
ciety may direct. Mr. Chns. Hlrsch
Ingcr of Baraboo gavo a history af tho
Nowell apple. Tho seed was brought'
from Now York and planted in 1848 in
township 12, rango 63, on section 13,
nnd was the only treo of the lot that did,
not winter kill. It was transplanted
when qulto small on section 14. where it
now stands In healthy condition after a
life of nearly half a century.
The socretnry presented his plan for
planting tho trial orchard, which led
to discussion of varieties nnd hardiness.
Prof. Goff thought that top working on
hnrdy stocks had a tendency to In
creased hardiness of varieties, but
would not do It for all varieties would
Hlnrt with ton varieties that are known
to bo hardy and take twelvo trees of
each nnd plant thirty feet apart. And
for the trial orchard would take all
now, promising varieties, as they may
be offered by growers, or would top
work by putting scions In older or bear
ing trees.
Mr. Hlrschlnger favored owning tho
lnnd rather thnn rontlng for a term of
years. Would set out flvo ncres the
coming spring of our known hardy va
rieties, Duchess, McMahan, Newell. Hi
bernal, Scott's Winter, Avista, N. W.
Greening and Wealthy. Considered tho
Hibernal was moro hardy than tho
Duchess. Would plant twenty feet
apart each way, nnd fnvored the experi
mental orchard of all hardy varieties
ho could get. Would plant the trees
from two to flvo year olds, nursery
grown,
Only a very few from the committoo
of observation reported. J. L. Herbst
of Sparta snld that the sovcro frost of
Inst May killed most all tho strawber
ries, as well as tho raapborrlcs. Cur
rnnts wero considerably damaged,
gooseberries only slightly, and wero a

George J. Kellogg of Janesville gnvo
a short paper, "Orchards in Hard

Duchess nnd Hibernal whero you want
ed tho trees to grow; did not bcllovo in

Patten's Greening. For culinary pur
poses tho Virginia Crab Id equal to
Transcendent. All young trees Bhould
bo shaded on tho south sldo with come
kind ot protection from tho hot nun.
Mr. J. C. Plumb thought such trees
would bo too expenalvo for tho farmers
to buy, as no nurseryman could afford
to grow them to sell for less than 75
cents nploee. Ho favored a ohort root
with long scion, plant rather deep, and
In two years' time you havo a treo vir
tually on Its own roots. Mr. Hoxlo
thought farmora would not object to
paying 75 cents for an applo treo If thoy
wero euro they wero getting something
hnrdy. Ho had known somo who had
paid moro than this sum and then wero
fooled. Mr. Philips coincided with tho
statement. Mr. Hlnkley, delegate from
Iowa, stated that ho saw very flno ap
ples last fall from Nebraska, grown on
trees from seeds planted whero the
trees were to remain, nnd wero top
workod with such varlctlos as wore
wautod, and this plan was much fa

DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

SUES OF THE DAY.
Tim Itrpubllcaii Conzrmn tho Moat Cow

tho American 1'coplc The Urcitt Op
portunity. Chicago Chronicle: Tho democratic
party of the United States faces a grout
opportunity such as Is seldom pre
sented In the career of a party, a nation
or an Individual. It was in nn almost
hopeless minority at tho state elections
two years ago. At the opening ot this
year it wan almost ready to permit
the presidential election to go by de
fault. Within a few dnyn it has been
surprised by a situation In which tho
gravest possibilities aro Involved.
The republican party will be dis
rupted by tho silver question this year,
as tho democratic party was disrupted
by the slavory question In 1SG0, or It
will be compelled to adopt n platform
nnd enter the presidential campaign
with silver pledges to rcatoro the Sher
man urt or to "recognize silver" In
some still moro vicious measure to de
bauch and degrado the currency.
Tho republican party must chailcng3
defeat as nn honest monoy party or it
must surrender to tho silver conspira
tors on a makeshift, false and fraudu
lent platform. Tho republican Sliver
contingent will desert unless Us de
mands are granted In a platform which
tho honest voters of tho country will be
romp"llprt to 1 eject.
In this Biiprcmo political crisis tho
democratic opportunity Is presented.
If tho democratc shall adopt a platform
of which honest-money sentiment is
the inspiration the plntform of Jeffer
son, of Jackfon. of Benton and of Tllden
an.l If a candldato with faith in tho
platform shall bo nominated, n new
era of democratic advancement will be
Installed, leading to permanent demo
cratic supremacy In a majority of the
states and In the nation. The path of
democratic duty Is the path of safety
and tho path that leads to eventual vic
tory. But tho history of the pact Is an ad
monition (lint democratic party leaders
may ho blinded by false visions of suc
cess, through shameless compromises
and by prostitution. Tho disastrous
Greeley campaign of 1872 la an Instance.
Tho democrats then agreed to abandon
an honest tariff platform and to rele
gate that question to congress a make
shift, a straddlo and a fraud for tho
purposo of temporary success with the
most malevolent and grotesque enemy
of tho democratic party for Its leader
and presidential candidate. Tho over
whelming defeat which followed thta
utterly false and perfidious policy re
tarded the restoration of the democratic
party for moro than twenty years.
But that lesson wan unheeded. Fat
uous impulses prevailed. A few years
later tho pernicious grconback false
hood uud heresy became popular
among democratic politicians and blind
leaders of tho blind. They adulterated
democratic platforms with the vicious
element of faith In a dishonest finan
cial tystem. They 'formed a combine
with the loose factions that had codes
of belle' but little removed from tho
rascality of repudiation. This policy
was as disastrous In Its results as the
coalition with Grcelylsm.
The supremo question now presented
to honest democrats relates to the
course which shall be pursued In view
of tho silver rupture In the repub
lican party. False nnd blind leaders
again will present their claims to lead
ership. Tho quacks and Imposters will
offer again their fallacious pleas. Honest-money
democrats, conscience demo
crats, will be told that by Just one more
treacherous departure from democratic
principles by another surrender, by
another act of diseased'prostltutlon a
temporary victory may bo gained, In
cluding tho 3polls and plunder of office.
This Is Immoral counsel. What
may bo of moro interest to tlme-3erving
politicians, It will load only to a worse
catastrophe than all those or the past
If it shall bo followed. Democrats can
not outbid republican schemers, con
spirators and corruptlonlstn for the dis
honest vote of the country. False is
sues will fall, and each successive fall
uro will bo moro -disastrous than any
which had preceded.
Democrats should adopt an honest
money platform to be followed by the
nomination of an honest-money candi
date on entering tho campaign of 1896.
Nothing can bo gained but everything
will be l03t by a slher coalition. A
single honoat campaign for honest
monoy and an honoBt tariff may end in
nressnt defeat, But it will be fruitful
of uood and will proparo tho way for ,1
lone series ot democratic victories in
the future, which will bo of permanent
value to all the people ot the country.
Attnrks 011 Secretary Morton.
Chicago Chronicle. The paitlsan re
publicans In congress have rondo a
series of attacks on Governor J. '"tcr
Hng Morton, secretary of agriculture,
for his refusal to distribute seeds under
the absurd legislation on that subject
and for other alleged irregularities by
which ho has refused to expend rul lie
money extravagantly with no useful
,Mipnnar In vlCW.
An implied censure
ot Secretary Morton for ills ollicial nc-
uon jn these respects would carry cs
mtlo weight as the proposed coheuic
Df Minister Bayard for tolling tho mc 111-
hers of an English literary society that
vicious tariff legislation was ui.wiro
1 policy for any government o nlopt.
Tho distribution of goods by tfie gov
ernment nt a great annual coat wns an
extravagance and abuse for w-'ilch no
Justification can bo found. It was of no
uractical benefit to tho srent mnj-ses of
the people who cultivate tho soil. No
seed was furnished except that of rare
and curious exotic plants or of grains
and other vegetables which could not
be raised In our soil nnd climate or
that would bo of no value If grown nnd
brought to maturity.
Even if tho boocIs of exotic vegstablos
would have produced an nvailaolo har
vest In tho United States Its aluo
would have been trlfllri'g compared with
the expenses to tho government. If in
dividuals hnd desired to make experi
ments in strango productions of tho
soil It would not have cost them rents
where it costs tho government dollars
to procuro tho seeds. Private enter
prise could have established better re
sults at a trivial cost than were ob
tained by the government at an ex
pense of millions of dollars.
Tho seeds bought by the government
wero not equitably distributed. Under
tho old rule tho secretary of agriculture
gavo to each member ot congrcs.1 hla
share. Members of consress oftn rold
tho seeds to speculators or nave them
away to other members or made no
use of them, In fraud of tho law pio
vldlng for their distribution.
The reasons for abandoning the
teed abusa wero abundant and conclu
sive. All the other acts of Secretary
Morton which tho partisan republicans
criticise are equally worthy of prauc.
Ho Is entitled to popular commendation
even If ho should receive tho censure
of a partisan and corrupt congress.

Washington Post: It Is tho intention
of tho British ministry to open at tho
next session of parliament a fight
against free trade nnd for protection.
True, this otrugglo Is to be waged In a
single Item of lmports-llvc animals
but. It Involves tho whole question of
ficc trade verBU3 protection. If tho
English Conservatives succeed In Im
posing a protective duty on cattle, the
farmera will next demand protection
for cereals. Supposing tho farm pro
ducts arc to be protected and the cost of
living to bo Increased, the men who
work in tho factories, mines and all
occupations other than agricultural,
will have to bo protected from starva
tion by Increase of wages. And then
what will become of English supremacy

Philadelphia Record: The chalrrvin
of the republican national committee
Senator Carter, of Montana declares
that the voto of the sonato practically
defeating tho Dingley tariff bill "will
bring tho republican party to its
senses." If iron and copper and lend
and coal and wool and wood aro to be
protected, why not silver? Silver and
.lead come out of tho same mine. Why
make drakes of ono metal and ducks
of the other? "Protection forever!"
shouts Mr. Carter, "but let everything
be protected." Unless the mountaineers
arc to be taken In under the cover of
paternalism they will kick, nnd ac
cording to the protective logic 'they are
quite justified.

Philadelphia Bulletin: There Is no
more unforutnate place that a presi
dential candidate can occupy four
months In. advanco of a national con
vention than to be in the lead. This is
the position which William McKinley
occupies today. Ho can count on moro
delegates with reasonable certainty
than any two of his competitors In the
race. Even his enemies admit that he
will bo In the van on tho first ballot at
St. Louis. This Is the reason why every
other candidate is now directing his
special attention to heading off McKin
ley. It looks as if the Buckeye states
man would be a wiser politician If he
held back his tables of "estimates."
Free Caliiuge mill Mi'Ktnlrjtsni.
Boston Post: Tho free silver Repub
lican senators arc logical in their de
mand that their party must "take free
coinage with McKinleyism." Tho Re
publicans who denounce, as they did on
the oor of the sonato, the "antagoniz
ing protection with freo coinage," are
weak and illogical. If monopolies in
iron, in wool, In coal, In scores ot other
products arc to bo "protected," why
should not tho ring of sliver mine own
ers claim a like "protection?" This Is
the sensible, logical, commercial view.
Moreover, It is the view which pre
vailed in 1890, when McKinleyism won
Ita short-lived triumph.
Houratr the Only Thins; Needed.
Philadelphia Record: If the Repub

iety to put money in tho treasury It
would pass a bill for the purpose which
the. president could approve. Tho
Dingley bill wns framed IpJhc inter

appease tho mutiny of the silver mount-
aincers by a.tax on wool. Happily, the

WONDERFUL GARDEN, THIS.
At Leant tho 'Mory About it ls Won
Ulrfnt Enough.
Most people, Bays the Portland Ore
gonlan, havo heard of tho hanging gar
dens of Babylon, tho modern roof gar
dens and tho gardens or floating inl
ands In which vogetablen used to bo
grown for tho cltlzenn of ancient Mex
ico, but probably few havo heard of a
garden on board a ship, with farmyard
attachment. Tho splendid ship Mow
han, now In port, nnd tho largest ves
sel which has over been here, had such
an nrrnngoment on board during her
trip to Oregon. On leaving Belfast for
Portland the took on board ns ballaBt
2,000 tons of Irish soil, which, whon
leveled off, mndo qulto n stretch of
ground, nnd ns tho boII of Ireland Is
proverbially fertile the ship's company
proceeded to put It to good use by
planting a stock of garden truck hi
It cabbages, leekB. turnips, radishes,
lettuce, peas, beans, etc. The seeds
came up nil right and the plants flour
ished finely, and when tho ship wns m
the tropics, grew with great rapldltv.
As they progressed toward tho Horn
and the weather grew colder things
carao to perfection rapidly. Tho crew
amused themselves by weeding and cul
tivating the plants and the captain and
officers took regular walks In the gar
den dally and all had green vegetables
to their heart's content.
As they came around the Horn tho
garden was replanted nnd by the timo
they reached the equator everything
was abloom and all hands fensted on
fresh vegetables dally. The only draw
backs to tho garden were the weeds,
which grew so rapidly that they could
hardly be kept down, and the drove of
pigs, which were kept in the farm
yard attachment, and which on sever
al occasions when the ship was buck
ing Into a nor'easter nnd rolling heav
ily broke out of the bounds and made
serious Inroads In the garden. It Is a
serious matter to call on hands on
board ship, and Is only dono In emer
gency, but when the pigs got Into tho
garden there was more pounding on
the forecastle scuttles and handspikes
nnd blowing of boatswain's whistles
than if tho ship hnd been laid aback by
a typhoon or all the masts had been
carried away, and every sleeper was
aroused to help get the pigs out of tho
garden.
The last pig was killed and Berved up
with green vegetables just before the
Mowhan entered the Columbia. On the
arrival of tho Mowhan hero the Irish
soil was discharged on the elevator
company's dock and piled up neatly,
go that any exiled patriot who desires
n bit of the "ould sod" can be accom
modated. The pile will doubtless bo
covered with shamrocks In the spring
and will furnish boutonniere3 for a
whole St. Patrick's day procession.
Doubtless many a sack of it will be
carried off to fill flower pots, etc. Al
though It comes from the "black north"
It is still tho real "ould sod."
THE PARIS CABBY.
For Wny That Aro Doric Ho Has Very
l'ow Fqunls.
Should an accident befall the vehicle
of a Paris cabman during your occupan
cy, he will abandon himself to a parox
ysm of grief, compute the loss, and tell
in moving ncccnts of his wife nnd chil
dren, whose bread will be taken from
their mouths by the mishap. But If
your fingers thereupon make instinct
ively for your pocket, restrain them;
he Is Insured, He pays a small monthly
premium to a cab Insurance company;
nnd In the caso of a smash-up, only the
company suffers. A phiyful intimation
that you arc aware of this circumstance
will do wonders to console him. Thero
was, In dnys gone by, a cabman who
made such a good thing out of aecj
dentB that ho ended by adopting them
ns a specialty. He confined his labors
to those quarters of the town chiefly
affected by the English nnd his system
was to pick up a benevolent English
tourist (by preference a lady) nnd break
a shaft. Ho know a method of turning
n corner which no shaft could resist.
Then he would beat his beast, . and
shake his fist at heaven; call upon tho
universe to witness that he was a poor
man, who would be ruined by the sum
It must cost to get his cab repaired,
brlngln his wife nnd children, though
the unprincipled creature was a bach
elor and what could n benevolent-looking
English tourist do but help him
out?

The Greatest Hedical Discovery
of the Age.
KENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS.,
Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to a common Pimple.
He lias tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He lias now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit Is always experienced from
tiie first bottle, and a perfect cure is war
ranted when the rigiit quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver
or Bowels. This is caused ly the ducts
being stopped, and always disappears in a
week after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamisli feelings at first.
No chance of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best vou ca.i iret. and enoueh of it
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed-
tune. Sold by all Druggists,
