OPEN EVENI'Ncs , SPECIALTIES ARE PROFITABLE. One Farmer Who Even Made Potatoes Pay Last Year. How many young men, after more or less schooling, take up some agency or other business, work at it a. few years without ambition or success, and then drift from one thing to another, per- haps farming, but failing to succeed at anything. Happy is he who settles down early in life, selects his specialty and makes a success of it. This is the secret of the success achieved by Mr. C. E. Chapman, the potato special- ist of Clinton 00., N. Y., who after his days at school, became a tee agent until he married, bought a. harm on credit and settled down to business. Farm life improved his health, but he made no money at it and was about to give it up, until after a long and earn- est talk with Prof. Roberts, he settled down to think and study out the spe- cialty that would beat: succeed on his place. He says: “There will always be a. warm corner in my heart for the » man who gave .me the inspiration that led me to what success I have att‘ined. Potatoes were chosen for my specialty, and records, experiments and study enabled me to reduce the cost to 9c per bushel for last year, and my ’95 crop paid me as well as anything I could have raised in spite of the break in the potato market. Other branches have been taken up until quite a va- riety of articles are now grown.” Profits of the Small Silo. "A clever trader, who is himself an observing farmer, Speaking about the silo for small farmers and dairymen, says: “There are those three farmers who used to pay me over $100 every winter for boughten hay. Since they have each put in a small silo and filled it with corn and ears on the stalk, they sell me from $50 to $100 worth of hay every year. In other words, they are getting $100 in cash for What they used to have to pay out $100, so that their silo is’ really putting them $200 ahead.” We have reported numer- ous such instances, and know one York state farmer who has got over $1,000 'in cold cash for hay during the past year that he would 'have had to feed to his own stock had it not been for ‘his silo! Speaking with him about it, he remarked: “I’m a believer in 16 to 1—th'at for every silo we ought to be able to sell 16 tons of hay that we used to feed.” The Cost of Poor Roads. It costs about $50 per mile per year to take care of the 80,000 miles of dirt road in the rural districts of Pennsyl- vania. The expense per mile was prob- ably about as much 25 or 50 years ago. Quite likely this is a reasonable esti- mate of cost of ordinary methods of road management throughout the mid- dle and New England states. The most striking tact is, that after all this enormous expenditure during the past 50 or 100 y'ears, there are only com- paratively poor roads to show for the money. It is unnecessary to say that a system that has produced such re- sults is a mighty poor one, if indeed it is not utterly wrong, This good roads problem must be met. It vitally af- fects the farmer’s interests, and lt will only be solved when the farmer takes an intelligent interest in it. A New Way to Protect Against Frost. Get a lot of the cheap torches such as will be freely used in political proces- sions this fall, and fill with turpentine, using a generous wick; a dozcnof these stuck in the ground on handles four feet long made smoke enough to pro- tect 100 grapevines from a light frost. For peaches or other trees, I would ele- va‘te the torches 8 or 10 feet. Turpen- tine makes more of a smudge than kerosene or coal oil. This is more sat- isfactory than soaking bricks in coal oil, or straw, rubbish, etc. On a .still night these 'torc‘hes make an amazing :loud of smoke, which, utilized to pro- tect against frost, will give the prac- tical farmer more useful results than carrying the .Itorches in political pa- rades—A. G. Chase. Hold Your Small Crops This Year. The American Agriculturist shya: "There is no occasion for growers of such special money crops as apples, onions and potatoes becoming panic stricken this early in the year and sell~ ing at the first offer, whatever it may be. In our exolusive repent on the onion crop, to be found on another page of this issue, it is shown that the sur- plus available for market is much smaller than last year and so with our review of potatoes. There are fair poo- sibilities that these crops may be sold more advantageously." ' Milk and Cheese as Food. Underconsumption is one trouble with the home market for cheese and milk. The American people eat freely of butter, but cheese is usually con- sumed only in a small way for dessert, while town *people g ' erally drink little milk. What is 11 ed is a cam- paign to educate the public to consume cheese and milk more freely. Cheese is cheaper and richer than meat, pound for pound, while milk is one of the mos-t nutritious of foods; Silage for Poultry. ' A limited quantity of silage for poul- try can be preserved in tight barrels. Green clover and finely cut sweet corn are most desirable. Put in a layer of clever, then a layer of corn, alternat- ing until the barrel is full. Pack well, put in the head, and cover with earth )r coarse manure. .

Chalrrnan Jones Explains. CHICAGO, Sept. 25.—Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic national committee, said today that there could be no significance attached to the closing of Democratic headquarters in Washington, owing to the fact that no headquarters had been closed. “The situation is just this,” said Sena- tor Jones: “We occupied one small room adjoining those of the Democratic congres- sional campaign committee in Washing- ton, but when our literary bureau was re- moved to Chicago we had no further use for it. Mr. Richardson left it open, how- ever, in charge of a Washington newspaper man, who had instructions to forward any mail that came there for the bureau, but as all mail now comes here we simply turn- ed thc room over to Chairman Faulkner to be used as a storeroom. Certainly the transfer of an empty room to the care of the part'ulariy active congressional cam- pain committee,” or :Itinued Senator Jones, “cannot be considered in any way significant of any ullunge in the campaign programme. ’ ’ - At Republican Headquarters.
