LEARKlka FARMING.

When intellgent young men are de
sirous of learning the business of farm-
ing in the most scientificmanner. the
are met with the difficulty that no
cultural institutions exist in
country under the management of
sound, practical farmers. Those that
do exist are managed by " professors,"
who have but little or no practical ex-
perience in farming, and. the conse-
quence is that their labors general!
consist in making experiments, whicL
result in nothing of much value to the
worty. Young mten who desire to learn
farming must, thdfcgfore, go somewhere
else than to "agricultural colleges"
to leatn the practical part of the busi-
ness—to some intelligent farmer who is
noted for the extentof his operations
and his skill in his business,; even if#
they work' for their board, or pay fqjr
the privilege of working on such a tapn
for a year or two, after they havejac-
quired a knowledge of agricultural
chemistry to aid them in their vo.C&tion
in after life. The writer has a very

{>oor opinion of the ability of " pro-
essors of scientific agriculture" to
manage a farm successfully, and in
nine cases in ten their theories Vill fail
when they come to a practical test.
The proof lies in the fact that for thirty
years we have had state and other agri-
cultural colleges among us, and yet they
have not demonstrated their utility to
practical farmers in the least degree.

FEEDING MILCII COWS.

An experienced farmer says: " I have
practiced feeding at five o'clock in the
morning. Ilay first, and roots and
bran after the hay is eaten. Turn out
and water about eight o'clock, and re-
turn to the stable after a ihort time out
for drink and exercise, but not long,
unless the weather is fine.* I feed all
the roots and the bran for the day at
one feed. Once a day to feed roots,
meal, or bran, is enough, then feed on
hay for the rest of the day." This sys-
tem. of course, applies only to feeding
in the fall, winter, and spring, before
cows go to pasture. The same man
adds: " My mowings are all cut twice
in the season. Would be glad to cut it
before it is fairly headed out. Grass is
never cut too early, but mostly too late.
Cut it early and cut the second time.
The cheapest feed that I can raise is
dried grass and fodder corn. Boots
cosfrffifc most, but they are very valua-
ble. I shall raise more instead of less."
Bran is worth all it costs for feed, and
also all it costs as a fertilizer afterward.

was able to go to the pasture. In a
case of a cow becoming badly bldated
by eating green apples, half a teacup-
ful of powdered charcoal cured her en-
tirely in a few hours.

HONEYBEES.

Every man who keeps bees should
have the honey boxes on before apple
trees blossom. Put them on all your
hives, to be ready when, the bees'are
numerous enough to enter them. Small
pieces of guide combs in the tops aid
greatly in causingr tber.bees to com-
mence comb-builaing in the "boxes.
Some families of bees will be too weak
to work in the boxes; but it is always
best to give them a set in case they may
need them. Get your hives for swarms
ready, so that when swarming time
comes you will not be caught unpre-
ared. Honey will be cheap next fall,
om present indications; but twenty
cents per pound for good comb honey is
paying price, ana I think it Will not
go lower tnan that.

S^ORT HORNS FOR BEEF.

The best beef cattle in the world are
the Short Horns. This does got admit
of a doubt. They require good pas-
tures, as they will not thrive on scanty
pastures at all. Where the Devons
would keep in good condition they
would lose flesh rapidly. But witn
an abundance of feed in winter and
summer they make the best beef . cattle
known. Cows of this breed offceri reach
from 1,500 to 1,800 lbs. live ^weight, and
sell to the butcher for $100 to $150. A
five-year-old A;ow lately killed, qn fail-
ing to breed, contained 200 lbs. of tal-
low.

PRICE Ofc POTATOES.

Last season was singularly favorable
to potato growing in nearly every part
of the country; and the consequence
was the price went down very low.
This season the farmers may be inclined
to plant less seed than last year, but
they will make a mistake if they do, as
the probability is that the season will
be less favorable than last year, and
that the bugs will be very destructive,
which will put up the price next fall
very high. Don't De deceived, farmers,
by the result last season; but plant just
>tatoes.as ever and fight the

will be worth enough more to make up
the loss in quantity. Obtain your
Paris green before you need it, so as to
be prepared for the battle.

YARDS FOR POULTRY.

A dozen fowls would do very well ia
a yard fifty feet square, with a little
grass plot in one corner, as fowls must
nave grass. This space is as small as
can be used for that number; and if
one can not give as much space he had
better buy his eggs and chickens, as
fowls can not tjje kept profitably without
a certain area of yard room. A few
fowls may be put into a^much smaller
yard, and will lay well for a few weeks;
but after a while,'with the grass all de-
stroyed, the hens will begin to lay less
eggs, and will be unprofitable. Of
course a large range is always best, but
in a village one can not do as he could
on a farm. Don't forget to supply your
fowls with gravel, old mortar, or
ground, or pounded oyster shells, as
aids in the formation of eggs

CLOSE BREEDING.

In breeding stoc^ moderate in-and-in
breeding does not injure their good
qualities, as the experience of nun
dreds of cattle raisers can prove. A
western stock grower says: ' It is now
quite certain that the only way to
maintain a choice breed of stock is to
keep up the intercourse between them,
regardless qf relationship, so long as
there are any good qualities worthy of
preservation. Any system of breedinL
which is based on any other principle is
founded on error and is sure to fail, as
so many of our previous attempts at
improving western herds have failed

CARE OF HORSES.

the opinions of English farmers on the
subject: " When a horse is worked
hard its food should be chiefly oate * if
not worked hard its food should chiefly
be hay,. because oats supply more nour-
ishment and flesh-making material than
any other kind of food -, hay not so
much. Back feeding is wasteful. The
better plan is to feed with chopped hay
from a manger, because the food is not
thrown out, and is paore easily chewed
and digested. Sprinkle the hay with
water that has salt dissolved in it, be-
cause it is pleasing to the animal's taste
aha the hay is more easily digested. A
teaspoonful ttC salt to a bucket of water
is sufficient."	. , ,r

ant to. adjournment, the mayor and ali'the al-
dermen present. Minutes of last meeting read
and approved. <

Gronberg, Bierman 4 Co. petitioned for a du-
plicate order for $94.99, they having lost one for
that amount, offering a good bond to indemnify
the city against loss. Granted, on motion of
Aid. Joslyn.

A petition for sidewalks on both sides of Ray-
mond street, from National to Yarwood streets,
was read, and on motion of Aid. Kizer, re-
ferred to committee on streets.

Thos. J. Rice petitioned to have license
granted to him transferred to -Mrs. Ann Lynch,
with same bond. Granted, on motion of Aid.
Foster.

John Wait asked to have execution 8f the
order for sidewalk in front of his premises de-
ferred until fall, as he desired to grade his lots
downvand then he could best make the walk.
Consent of residents in that locality was read.
Aid. Heath moved to grant petition. Aid.
Joalyn objected because it was substantially
abating the order, and the result would be the
walk would not be made. The motion was lost.

A petition was read, signed by the proprietors
of the Waverly, Western, Commercial and Chi-
cago hotels, asking to have repealed the ordi-
nance requiring hotel runners to pay a license
of $5. Some one moved to receive and file the
petition. Aid. Kizer said it deserved better
treatment. He moved to amend by granting.
Aid. Joalyn opposed the last motion; thought it
a wholesome ordinance, and the only protec-
tion strangers and the public.have against a
lot of irresponsible fellows Who always hang
around depots and pull and haul people about
and make unbearable nuisances of themselves,
when the privilege is unlicensed and free. It
was a protection to the public andshould not
be repealed. The ayes and noes were called
for, when all voted no excepfJackman, Kizer
and Dickinson, who voted aye. The original mo-
tion to receive and file was then put and car-
ried.-

Aid. Joslyn called attention to the Beckwith
suit, which might come up for trial at Geneva
shortly. He suggested that the matter be left
with the city attorney and judiciary committee
to arrange -for or settle, as thought best. Aid.
Kizer made a motion to that effect and-It pre-
vailed.

The committee on claims reported adversely
to request of E. E. Fay,; adopted.

The committee on fire reported on communi-
cation of Chief Engineer Lewis, recommending
that the city purchase 800 feet new hose.
Aid. Kizer—Is there any money to buy With?
Aid. Joslyn—Don't know—can buy on tick, as
we have done before. He said the matter of
new hose had been carefully considered by the
committee, and that fully 1,000 feet was neces-
sary to reasonable protection j ought to have
more, but nothing less would answer an emer-
gency. He remarked that if the city could no t
keep prepared with hose it might as well run
the engine into the river and disperse the de-
partment.

Aid. McAllister moved to receive and flle the
report. Aid. Kizer seconded. "

Aid. Joslyn—That means to defeat it. Why
not vote square on the question—for or against
Tnnving the purchase ? He moved to amend by
adopting. •	©

Aid. Jackman moved to amend by making
the quantity 500 instead of 800, 'which motion
prevailed by 7 to 5. Joslyn's motion to adopt
wai then put by ayes and noes, with the follow-
ing result: Ayes—Joslyn, Ferhman, Jackman,
Moulton, Foster, Towner, Geister, Dickinson
and Heath, 9. Noes—Westerman, McAllister
and Kizer, 3.

Peter Fischer and Otto Busse applied for li-
cense, offering James O'Connor and M. Straus-
sel as bondsmen. Aid. Ferhman moved to
grant; carried.

A bill from Constable. Schoonhoven for fees
earned in cases wherein, city was complainant,
before justices, amounting to $13.20, was read
and referred to committjee on claims.

Aid. Joslyn moved to tjake from the flle the
application of E. C. Aniajden for license.
Aid. Jackman called fqr the ayes and noes.
Aid. Kizpr safd he was not disposed to do any
m»n an injury. He should suggest certain con-
ditions on whiohhe would vote to grant Ama-
den a license* in case the question was taken
UP«

The ayes, and hoes were caUed, when all voted
aye exceptlng Jackman, Moulton, Westerman
and McAllister, and the .application was before
the oouncO.	*

Aid. Joalyn movedto grant the license, con-
ditioned that a bond filed witbnameB offered.

Aid. Kizer said it had been reported that Amn-
^den did not keep a very orderly house, but he
would vote to give blm one inore trial on^the
condition that the license shonld be revoked on
the very first offense committed.

Mayor Barclay suggested that the ordinance
provided for that very thing? and Aid. Joslyn
anirt he did not see what that condition amount-
cd to*-'	- '

The ayes and noes were called on the motion
to grant, when Joslyn, Foster, Kizer, Geister
«mji Dickinson, voted aye, and Fehrman, Jack-
man. Moulton, Westerman, Towner, McAllister
«na Heath, voted no, and the motion was lost.

Aid. Joslyn inquired by what authority the
clerk delivered an order to Geo. Kelly, when
the council toted that he should not be paw
until all fines standing against him were paid.
The clerk read a statement signed by four
lusticesr to the effect that no fines stood —
Kelly, and said the marshal had satisft
self that therewere nonemnpaid.

Aid. Joslyn said it did nofTjnatter if there
were or were not fines unpaid, the clerk had no
business to deliver the oraer until the council

An increased number of buyers were on the

market showed a downward tendency, it was
quite active. But little full-creaui cheese has

Was sold off the board at 28c, but this was

But few factorymen showed samples of

add to the interest of the board to have more
samples exhibited, a hint which the factorymen
will do well to consider.

"THE HEATHEN CHINEE.'

A Solution of the Chinese Question-
Its Agitation on the Pacifile Coast.

To the Editor of The Elgin Advocate:

How shall we remedy the evil which presents
now something more than a national aspect ?
The question is, Caucasian or Mongolian—
which? It is so in the United States,in Peru,
and other South American republics, and it is
Bo in Europe and Australia. A pretty effectual
remedy may safely be sought in legislation, but
it is not necessarily conclusive that legislation,

nst
him-

golian civilizal-------------

It is the only question prominently before
the California people. There it is coming right
home to the head of the family, to be felt most
severely by him, now that he finds himself out
of employment, and hls former place filled by
a racethat kills its females in infancy, and con-
sequently has no wives nor children depending
upon his labor for sustenance. There are
thousands to-day out of. employment on the
Pacific coast, not because they have demanded
a price for their labor more than adequate to
support their families, but because they have
come in direct competition with a race whose
civilization is repugnant and strongly opposed to
culture, refinement and improvement of any
sort whatsoever. It requires no expenditure of
money to maintain it. It has not the virtue of
economy, but the curse of uncleanliness. It
has always been a stranger to the power ol
education, and has apparently always courted
the blight of ignorance. China is pouring
Swarms of her degraded classes into America
month by month, and the honest Caucasian la-
bQrer—one who is attached to the refinement of
his own civilization, because it is sanctioned by
every precept of religion and morality—he is
condemned to look silently on, while his roof
is sold from himself and family, to pay delin-
uent taxes. Thus he is compelled to bear all
*he burdens of government; but that, even
Without employment, is not as hard to bear as
the burden of starvation. If he were alone
dependent on his labor for support, as is his
competitor, he would uncomplainingly strug-
'le for an existence; but with such fear-
!ul odds against him as one against a household,
he can do nothing but cry out.	. •

The question is not all understood in the
east. The Mess is unaccountably silent on a
subject that may affect its existence at no dis-
tant day. It ought to be discussed. It will he
better understood after careful and and intelli-
gent study; It requires the whole country to
correct it; and the whole country should know
what kind of correction is adapted to it. On
this question the people of the Pacific are anx-
ious. If they could constitutionally adjust
the difficulty, they would not ask the co-opera-
tion of the east. But it require the_action of
congress, and congress ought to legislate for
the whole country. Then, let the press of the
east show that the question bears directly on
the interests of the country at.large, asitmost
undoubtedly does, and surely the legislature
will not then hesitate to perform -a plain duty.
On one hand are ignorance, superstition, clan-
nishness, filth, heathenism and prostitution of
Half a race of humans. On the other hand
there are education,, freedom, cosmopolitan
ideas, onlture, reliigion and a rape of mothers
anddaughters, who perform their duties with
holy purposes and in full knowledge of their
final accountably. It is hot difficult to choose
between these and those. And what American
does not love the institutions of his country
well enough to defend them? Or will_you
merely enjoy them? But they are the object
of a heathenish attack, and you can not long
injoy unless you prepare for defense. ^
It seems that the only natural correction that
can be given to these unhappy conditions must
consist in an equalization of causes and effects.
ThuB While that Chinese engage in manufactur-
ing articles of American wear, they adore their
own'national costume too greatly to cast it
Bairi» for another. Besides, their own clothing,
manufactured in China, where competition is
irreat, and consequently the cost of produtrtlon
irtionately low, can pay our import duty
lensell forless than actual cost of prp-
duotion here. Chinese at hosoe^ work for six
and eight dollara
eat price paid. So .

AmOTicans at comparative^ _	. ..

consume home productions, at a still reduced
oost. It yields tnem double profit, but immv-
erishesour interests and exhausts the every-day
means of liviiur*

men, if out'remedy does not lie in legislative
enactments, wherein does it consist ? Probablyv
in reducing the cost of production of articles or
our own consumption to Such an extent that
the Caucasion laborer can afford to produce in
'California at considerably leduced prices, and
yet be enabled to live, by the very reason^*
having reduced the first cost of living. The
nirin«HA will not remain here long, if they can
not obtain in payment the cost of an American
living, and still consume only Chinese produc-
tions; that is to say, live at nearly the cost or
living in China. .	■*

Then, we appall to the east and the most
populous sections of our country to send us as
many brave, strong, industrious and intelligent
men and women as we-are now cursed witn
Chinese. This will increase competition, ana
decrease, or reduce, the cost of production, ana
Inevitably, from the operation of ah econom-
ical law (f. e., the reduction of the cost of pro-
duction reduces the cost of living), the Induce-
ments which -have hitherto held the Chinese
here will indeed be so small that they will no
longer seek America as a place where there axe
quick fortunes awaiting their industry.: But
you say this will bring our people into ct
tition with others of OUr people, and must re-
sult disastrously to the worklngman in the end.
But yon reason badly, and do not, considerau
.the conditions. Depend upon it, production
and supply will iloauy and mutually regulate
theihswves, aUd ttoa resources, of the
ooagt are inexhaustible., And, finally, lfl it not

meu of! your own rellgfousj persuasion

benefit our customers. We offergood prints at
5 cents per yard; good,unbleached,44 Muslin
at 7 cents; a better Black Alpacca for 25 cents
than can be procured elsewhere. The best line

ever. Table Damasks, bleached, un-
bleached and colored, much below ordinary
