WHAT 1T MEANs.-People have sometimes
wondered why Democratic journals placed
a rooster at the head of their papers as an
emblem of victory. But Parson Brownlow
fully explains the matter as follows: "As
the Growing of the cock followed the be-
trayal of Christ by Peter, so again the cock
crows after the Democrats have attempted
10 betray the Government and place it in
the power of its enemies"

The Driving of Il Calf.

! The most ignoble and unsatisfactory of
all pursuits is the driving of calves. 1t is
appointed to this animal to attain to the
tull command OF its physical organs much
earlier than it is able TO appreciate the mo-
tives III accordance with which they shonld
be directed; that is, as suppose German
philosopher would say, before it has reached
the polarization of its related consciousness.
Or, it might be otherwise stated. the crea-
ture will run with the wind before he knows
anything. After long chase You have
brought him to the bottom of the hill, by
the gate; and the rest of the cattle have
gone through. You look upon them with
Il sense of relief and appreciation as they
walk deceEtly along the road 1t would
have been better to have watched the calf
He springs off too suddenly to be stopped
His thin frame offers no resistance to the
air, except that he is swayed "a little aside
into gentle bend, like sheet that moves
upon its edge. 1t is the most hyperbolical
and rcturnless of curves. Now it is across
the ravine and over the range beyond. BY
good luck, however, you get past him at
an angle of the fence, and he bears away
for the gate, frightened and believing The
whole herd comes back to see what the
mischief is. There is hope that he may
now be driven out with the others. Such
Il trust however has no ground in the nature
Of the young animal. He darts from among
them and passes you with long jump,
while you fall across his path at about
three steps distance. To any but good
boy the luncture will seem TO call for forms
of speech. the use of which has been very
properly forbidden lis. The calf is vanish
ing along the line of rocks that leads to the
most upper and northwest csrner of the lot

and asked for food and shelter which We're
freely accorded. Two or three persons be-
ing cOgnizant of the fact, called to see the
runaway Niger" when the following in
teresting dialogue took place:
"'Spose you had plenty of hard times
down South, licking plentyl'
"No-never was whipped"
"Wa'nt? Well you had to work most aw-
full hard?"
"My work was light"
"Iguess yeur clothes were not very nice?"
81 was well clothed, a good house ser
want"
81 reckon your victuals were ne uncom-
mon fine?"
"As good as desired
SWELL chould give it as my opinion
that you were a mighty big fool for running
away from such place as that, just for the
sake of shirking for yourself"

A PLEA FOR DEBToRs-The following, at
least is pleasant these war times.
He who owes nobody is a poor misera-
bic being, nobody manfests any interest i'll
his wellare-nobody cares continental
cent whether he lives or dies.
He is lean and hungry, and generally as
poor and wilted as the pin feathers on Jobs
turkey. Look at our great men they are
all debtors-owe everybody-our men of
science, our authors. our sensation ministers
the whole kit Of them, are deeper in debt
than Pharaoh's army was in the Red Sea.
Debt emobles a man, gives him more
expanded view of human nature, and keeps
him moving, especially if he never pays
rent. Nothing will cure the consumption
quicker than strong dose of debt prop
erly taken. TO owe is human. to pay di-
vine. Therefore, till man becomes super
human lie should not attempt to emulate di-
vinity. The science of payment, the true
modern science, is to get into debt to some
body enough to pay some one else you
owe.
BY this means you avoid getting ont of
debt, and yet maintain IL reputation of pay.
ing. The greatness Of nation increases
with its national debt Make note of this
at nine days.

FARMERS DEPARTMENT.
Flax.

While stopping some time in Ohio, last
winter, we met with Mr. B. o. Warren, OF
Toledo, who was interesting himself, and
with success, in the attempt to luce the
Ohio farmers to engage In the cultivation of
flax.
From facts which we learned from him.
we have thought that perhaps Kansas farm
ers might turn their attention to this crop
with profit. There are some special rea-
sons why we need the crop and its products
There will be for years an immense amount
of building done in this State. both in the
towns and in the country. These buildings
will all require paint. In this climate, all
wood work exposed to the weather must be
kept painted, to insure its preservation.
Linseed oil is the most expensive ingre-
dent in all durable paint. This article is
now quoted in our market at 1925 per
gallon. At this price it will pay richly to
raise flax, just for the seed to be manufac-
tured into oil. We are told that the expense
of an establishment for manufacturing tn
oil is not more than one quarter what il costs
to erect an ordinary saw-mill. We have men
In our midst acquainted with the business
There is no doubt but what a market for
the seed would spring up for the purpose we
have mentioned, as soon as the seed should
be raised in considerable quantities. Be-
sides, in ordinary times, the seed would bear
transportation to an eastern market.
But the fiber is equally important There
are those who believe that flax will vet SUI
persede cotton. Linen, at any rate, will
alwaye have value of its own. Very many
can remember when "tow CLOTH" of home
manufacture, made large portion of the
clothing of farming communities.
In the manufacture of paper, fax fiber has
been used just as far as it could be obtained;
and for this purpose the demand will con-
tinue and increase. A strong kind of paper
is being made which is used for -four sacks
and similar purposes. They can be made a
great deal cheaper than cotton sacks could,
when "cotton was king" For making this
paper, an immense amount of flax will be
required. Thus it will be seen that the en-
tire flax crop will have cash value more
certain, and higher, than most crops we are
now raising.
We commend the subject to our agricul-
tural societies and friends-Lawrence Re
publican
