The Credit of Furiuera.
The pessimism, the Iginuaul and the
, calainity shunters are very fond of
prating mi the poverty of the farm
iu ouiiiiuiiliy," anil some agricultural
' journals. Hot coii, iaiit with the tin w,
have assisted In hpi-cmling the bba.
1 'I'bey have done their III must toib'slroy
the faruiers' credit. Hut the real truth
Is this; While many fanners base been
In distress, yet, taking the farming peo
ple as a w hule. it Is safe to say Ibat the
farineiH have passed through the yea.s
of depression better t lilt II anybody ill
the country. To day faruiers owe less
1 1 in li any oil, it large group of people.
Fewer farmers have "failed." cotuiner
chilly speaking, than Iu any oilier busi
ness. Some farm mortgage companies
have failed thai did an extensive biisl
liess, especially III the seuil arid region.
v lure am ii nil ure Is iu an cxpcrtiuc mal

coiireriiK iii this line of business iu the
Central West and Northwest show Ibat
faruiers' lutcii st Is being promptly met.
and the prliielpai ou many mortgage
reduced or paid ill full. The number of
farms owm-d fie- of debt in the South
shows remarkable gains. In the Middle
and Kasiern Slates fanners, have main
tained their guild credit In the face of
keen Wesii rn competition.
Contrast this with the record of full
tiles among iiierchaiils. inaiiiifartiiieis
and railruads. The Ml railroads that
have gone Into receivers' bauds In the
last three and a half years, were mort
gaged for t w Ice as much as all the inorl
gaces on all the farms In the I'lilted
Stales. Probably the aeiual loss on In
vestment In railroad mortgages In the
past six years has exceeded the amount
of all the farm mortgages In the coun
try. (Mir Judgment is that, taking the
country as a whole. Ho per cent, of the
loans on farms during the past tweuty
II ve years have either been paid III full
orare to day worth loo cents on the dol
lar. Without In the slightest degree trying
to cover up any of the evils of agricul
tural deprt ssloii, we here enter u sol
emn protest against the great wrong
that has been dime our fanners by the
irrepressible calamity how ler. We sol
emnly maintain that the fanner's whole
history demonstrates his desire mid bis
ability to pay bis Just debts. Ilallroad

plenty of coal ashes for dust baths and

Charcoal Is not i-oimldcred a food,

There Is far more danger of giving
house plants too much water rather
than too little water In winter. Mining
the short days and long night, with
very little sunlight on the soli, It Is hard
to keep It at 11 tempera I ure where the
plants can grow vigorously. All the
surplus water added lowers the tem
perature until It reachcM a point where
the plants barely exist without making
any growth. If the soil has inm h veg

veloped at n low temperature, aud this
will poison the plant root.
