The Free American League,
colored organization, met in con
vention at Chicago, January 15.
Mr. Thomas Fortune addressed the
meeting, in which he stated the
purpose of the meeting in part as
follows: "We are met here to-day
to emphasize the fact that the past
condition of dependence and help
lessness upon men who have used
us for selfish and unholy purposes
who have murdered, robbed and
outraged us must be reversed.
We have been robbed of the honest
wages of our toil; we have been
robbed of the substance of our cit
izenship by murder and intimida
tion; we have been outraged by
our enemies and deserted by our
friends. It is time to call a halt;
it is time to begin to fight fire with
fire. I speak as an Afro-American
first, last and all the time, ready to
stab to death any political party
which robs me of my confidence
and vote and straightway asks me
what I am going to do about it.
In conclusion he- said: "We pro
pose to accomplish our purposes
by peaceful methods of agitation,
through the ballot ana the courts,
but if others use weapons of vio
lence to combat our peaceful argu
ments it is not for us to run away.
What is worth having is worth
fighting for."

There are those engaged in the

believe there is still money in the

great three years' depression.
That the profits are smaller than

that there is still a profit in rais

susceptible of proof.
The trouble has generally been
that investments were too large.
Men who purchased herds at SoO
around four and five years ago
have lost heavily, for the reason
that thev paid too much the in
vestment was too great Stock
cattle bought to-day, at current
prices, will pay large profits on
the investment, even at ruling
rates of beef cattle on the mark
ets. Several small hards have
changed hands the present autumn
at around 812.50. These cattle
will make money if placed on a
good range at current prices for
beef. When cows sell at 812,
beef steers at 820 are making mon
ey for the producers.
"ButSlG and 820 two-year-old
steel's cannot be kept two years
and sold on present markets with
out serious loss. Here is where
the trouble came in buying higli
and selling low. Men who own
their herds of breeding cattle and
can raise their own steers, calcu
lating from the present value of
stock, can afford to stay with the
herd if prices are low.
There is a material difference
between cattle raising and cattle
speculating. The speculator will
be in trouble while the legitimate
producer will move along undis

SHEEP NOTES.
Wind and continuous wet-laying
may embarrass sheep; but cold
never does, so long as the rations
are duly selected and regularly
served.
Farmers who raise sheep should
bear in mind that wool of sheep,
as well as the mutton, depends on
liberal feeding, says the American
Agriculturalist. JNo poorly ted
or poorly cared for sheep will pro
duce what it is capable of iu quan
tity or quality. Wool is a product
of feeding in as great a degree as
the flesh or fat Rural Spirit.
Wool Produclimis of Southern Uusxia.
Tn referrinto the wool produc-
tion of Southern Russia the Brit
ish consul-general at Odessa says
there are two principal kinds of
wool Dioduced, Merino and Don-
skoi, and in less quantities zigal
malitch. The Merino sheep were
introduced from Spain in 1803, and
was found to thrive in a climate
where, though there are extremes
of heat and cold, the atmosphere
is generally dry. It is to be met
with in the governments of Tauri
da, Kherson, Ekateriuoslay, and to
a less extent in Bessarabia. The
Molokauis, who immigrated to the
Caucasus, have devoted themselves
most assiduously to the rearing of
these sheep, ami have succeeded
in improving the breed, the wool
of which is longer iu staple and
better adapted for combing pur
poses than the ordinary Merino.
Fleeces in grease will weigh from
11 pounds to 14 pounds, while the
common Merino fleece will seldom
exceed nine pounds, and is fre
quently lighter. The Donskoi
wool is the growth of sheep found
near the river Don. The zigal is a
native wool of finer quality than
the preceding, while the malitch is
an iuferior staple found in the
Crimea. Bradford still takes a
large quautity of South Bussia
Merino wool, but since the enor
mous development of sheep breed
ing on the La Plata and in Aus
tralia the wool trade of South Rus
sia has diminished in importance.
Three-horse Eveuer.
The evener for three horses is
made from a piece of scantling
two by four inches, of hickory,
white oak, elm or other tough,
strong timber. It is four feet
long, with a half-inch hole one
inch from each end for a clevis
pin, and a similar hole one foot
four inches from one end, and two
feet eight inches from the other.
The doubletree is attached by its
pany on the Isthmus, in
clevis to the short end,
and the
the Ions
one - horse whime-tree to
end by a clevis and two links
which bring it abreast the other
two. Iu case it is desired to give
the single horse an advantage, as
when training a colt, a fourth hole
is bored one inch nearer the short
end, into which the clevis-pin is
shifted.
Mr. J. L. Bowers, in Insert Life,
says: I find the most effectual
wash for bark-lice on apple and
pear trees and borers in apple and
peach trees to bo the following
recipe: Five pounds of potash aud
five pounds of lard dissolved in
nve gallons oi boiling water; one
peck of good stone-lime slacked in
five gallons of boiling water, while
hot mixed with potash and lard
llie above mixture can be kept in
an old tub or barrel for any length
of time. To use. add to each gal
lon two gallons of boiling water,
and while hot applv to trunk and
large limbs with an old broom. If
this mixture is applied to trees
while young and used year after
year, the bark of the trees will be
kept as smooth as glass, and all
bark lice and borers destroyed.
