Office in Democrat Building, east side of Sec- . ond Street—ground floor. A hew Suggestions to Farmers. Now that the birds are warbling a welcome to approaching soring, and poets are ' receiving their annual inspirations for their original spring poems, it is time that farmers were getting their plows out of the fence corner where they have lain all winter, scour some of the rust off of them and form new resolutions for approaching seed-time. It may not be out of place to state here, that a prosperous farmer would have stored his tools and implements in the shed last but since you cannot correct past negligence it would would be well perhaps to get some paint and paint the woodwork of your neglected implements which the storms of winter have made about as rusty in appearance as the iron and steel. It is all well enough to talk about luck, but the man who nails a horseshoe wrapped in tissue paper above his door and^. leans his breaking plow against a stump, and backs his corn plow into a fence corner to remain all winter will never have bad luck. The prosperous farmer curries his horses every morning when they remain in the stable over night, whether he intends to use them or not; he cleans the stable in the evening and gives them a good bed; he takes care that they are properly fed at the right time and not over fed; his stock are properly fed and housed in stormy weather; his tools are mended before they are needed, and placed where they can be found; he does not let costly machinery stand out in the sun and rain, and takes special care with the “chores” and what most people call small matters about the farm. I have never known a single exception to this rule. He also makes arrangements to supply his own table from the products of the farm and makes a liberal allowance for bugs, worms and frost, and after they are matured he stores them away where they will not freeze decompose, or be destroyed by rats and mice. In short, he is not a shiftless man, but a man of thought. * There is some talk at present of the Alliance forming a farmers and stock-raisers trust in the west. We think the project too large, as proposed, for the western farmers wallet, jt would be a good thing tor farmers Jpt should be successfully carried out, provided it was based on equal rights for all. There is one provision in the plan that especially commends itself to our administration, and. that is the loan system. We need some such system among us farmers here, and need it badly. It should be so arranged that farmers who must have money to pay debts before their crops are marketable, could get it at a reasonably low rate of ‘interest. If such a system was inaugurated, then farmers depositing money to be loaned through such system would not receive as much interest as they could obtain elsewhere, consequently they might be slow about depositing; but if farmers deposit their money in the bank just be cause they can get a few cents more on the dollar, then they make themselves obnoxious by doing exactly what they con demn in the capitalists whom they are fighting. If we cannot get rid of some of our selfishness and make some reform among ourselves, then how can we expect to reform our government by electing some of these same men to repre sent us? It neighbor Jones loans his money to the bank for six percent interest and the banker loans it to me for ten per cent interest then I pay four percent more than I should have paid had I borrowed direct from Jones, so if the interest was the same as is paid by the banks in this proposed loan system, the borrower would be the gainer while the lender would not loose. Now if farmers expect to be benefitted by the Alliance or the F. M. B. A. individually and will not deposit a dollar unless they see where they can get it back and more with it by so doing, then we had as well strike out the two middle letters of the F. M. B. A. and call |tshe £ymep Tjiose who jiayp monyy muss loan i| to she support of thp common papse, else the association is founded upon sand and pap benefit no one. We merely suggest that some system be inauguarted in the F. M. B. A. and hope that the subject will he taken up and discussed In the different lodges. A. M. U. A Wonder Worker.

I Commnnicated, Editor Democrat : In the Democrat of week before last I requested to be informed, among other purported quotations of scripture, where I might find the statement that, “Daniel -prayed three times a day with his face toward Jerusalem.” The correspondent at Steele had the temerity last week to refer me to Daniel, sixth chapter and tenth verse, and thereby claim my inquiry answered, which I found to read thus, “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God,” as he did aforetime. Not a word nor hint that Daniel’s face was toward Jerusalem; not a scrutilla of foundation for any such inference or conclusion, but all the weight to the contrary, and none, except those with a disposition to wrest, and warp, pervert and twist the scriptures to make them fit are erroneous, pet, misleading/ theory, together with an unholy ambition to make proseljtes at all hazzards, would place similar constructions upon any portions oi scripture, as is the practice of many, and of which the matter in question is a fair sample. What fine judges or jurors such folks would make: off with your head if they wanted it Daniel was not an enthusiast, a fanatic, or hypocrite, that he would design to make long prayers yfor a pretense, and to be seen of men, ndr was there anything of the “goody goody” as of these present times with some, but he was a chosen vessel of the Lord and the spirit of the most High was in him and by His grace his faith wavered not; and as Paul wrote of himself some hundred years after “none of these things moved him.” On this particular occasion the windows of Daniel’s chamber happened to be open, left so ho doubt by his servants, and the narrator mentions on which side simple, and by them being open those jealous persons who sought Daniel’s destruction, were enabled to eavesdrop and report to the King that he was praying to his God in violation of an infamous law procured by themselves. The only reasonable supposition is, that Daniel had retired to the most secluded recess of Bis chamber for prayer, and not a word about his face being toward Jerusalem, as if he could merit anything by that or any other posture or position. Do not wrest the scriptures, nor add to or take from them, nor seek to daub the ears of the multitude with untempered mortar. Brush away the fog from your mental vision. There is.something said in Matthew 23rd about a certain style of sect, compassing sea and land to make one proselyte, and a woe recorded. Read. Now, Mr. Editor, I should like to preach a sermon upon matters hinted at, but I know Talmadge has taken precedence of me in your columns. Now as to the correspondent’s question, I answer, I haye no such idle curiosity and do not allow my mind to be takenup with so unimportant and frivolous matter, as to whether the word “girl” occurs in the Bible or not. But don’t tell any body that the Bible says David prayed with his face toward Jerusalem any more. Still Anxious to Know. Jmportantl-Read Thia.

1 he Book Trust Knocked out. — - A CARD TO THE PUALIC. Some six months ago we began the publication of our reprint of the famous Encyclopaedia Britannica in 25 volumes, which we issued at $1.50 per volume. The price of the English edition always has been and still is |B.oo per volume, and the Scribner edition $5.00 per volume in the cheapest binding. That the public appreciate so great a bargain is shown by the fact that over half a million volumes of this reprint have been sold m less than six months. This elegant new edition we still offer at the same price, $1 50 per volume. This is the greatest bargain ever known in books. Better still we will deliver the set complete on small easy payments, to suit the convenience of customers. Remember this is not an abridgement, but the great Edinburgh ninth edition, reproduced page for page with important articles on American subjects rewritten to date-by eminent American authors, and new maps, later and better than in any other Special Offer.—We claim that our reprint compares favorably with the high priced editions in every respect, and in respect to maps, and strength and beauty of bindings is superior to them. In order that this claim may be tested by a personal inspection we make the follow proposition: We will furnish volume I, at 6octs, —a fraction of actual cost —if sent by express. Add 4octs postage if sent by mail. Amounts paid for volume I, will be credit ed on price of set when ordered. R. S. Peale & Co., Wabash Ave, Chicago. The Greatest Strike. Among the greatest strikes that of Dr. Miles in discovering his New Heart Cure has proven itself to be one of the most important. The demand for it has be come astonishing. Already the treatment of heart disease is being revolutionized, and many unexpected cures effected. It soon relieves short breath, fluttering, pains in side, arm or shoulder, weak and hungry spells, oppression, swelling of ankles, smothering and heart dropsy."

These contests are being held in every part of our country. W. Jennings Demorest, of New York, presenting a silver medal to the successful speaker at all contests where the recitations be furnished are used. Folk-Lore and Folk Some of the scientists who make a specialty of folk-lore have lately been making inquiries about the malady which the country people call spring fever. It is a genuine malady, though more dis agreeable than serious. Yet it should be taken note of. While the scientists are inquiring about the tone of the malady, those who are suffering the lassitude, nervousness and melancholia, that are its symptoms, should run the digeage opt of their systems by means of that more sub. tie scientist and folk-curist— S. S. S. This is particularly necessary, since spring fever leaves the system in such a condition that it succumbs readily to diseases that are more dangerous and less easily controlled. S. S. S. is a preventive as well as a remedy. Pleasant Mills Items.
