that it was wicked lie" to say the
Howards have held secret meetings
from which news reporters were ex-
cluded. Their vice president,
General W. j. Smith, has said
that they do hold business meetings

mitted, and the papers here, as well
as members of the society, have stated
that news reporters are excluded from

A deputation from the Central
Council Of the Home Rule League at
tended the meeting at Dunmoor.
This led to serious differences. A
local farmer named Sheridan called
upon the meeting not to listen to the
deputation. Home rule" he cried
excitedly, " is a bubble. 1t is an
empty sham. 1t is the greatest delu-
sion ever dangled before the eyes of
the Irish poor"
The chairman tried to obtain a
hearing for the deputation amid a
scene of the widest excitement
Resolutions were passed declaring
that, as the people saw no help COM

save themselves.

The True Inwardness of his Theories,
Etc., Etc.

EDITOR LEDGER-Will you allow
me through the columns of your paper
to put few questions to DR.. Plunket
in order to show his unfairness, injus-
tice and duplicity, in regard to his
famous order No. 6.
Question-Dr. Plunket, what mo-
tive did you assign at first for issuing
order No. 6?
Answer-That I was afraid the
spores or germs of yellow fever might
be preserved in the cotton and next
year upon being opened might produce
yellow fever.
Odd you ever see yellow fever
spore or germ, doctor2
Al never did.
Odd you ever see or read OF any
person who had seen one?
Al never did.
Q.-How then came you to issue an
order against their preservation
A.-Oh, it is only a theory of mine,
Q.-Are you aware that physicians
equally as capable as yourself, and
with much better opportunities for a
practical acquaintance with yellow
fever than you ever have had, or ever
will have, if you remain as far from il
as you have done this year, disbelievc
entirely in the germ theory2
A.-Certainly, sir. | know that.
Odd you ever hear or read Of
yellow fever being produced by tie
handling of cotton in any condition
Al never did.
Q.-And yet when you did not even
know that such a thing as germ OF
spore was in existence, and when
there is not single instance on rec
ord in all the ages of the past of yellow
fever being produced by cotton, you
concluded to enforce hurtful rule
based upon such foolish theory2
Al did, sir.
Odd you ever reflect how much
injury and injustice you were doing
Memphis to enforce such a rule?
Any business is to attend to NY
duties as president of board of health
Q.-Do you not know that if quar-.
antines, such as have prevailed thi:
year, should be maintained against
Memphis in the future, whenever q
case of yellow fever is found there
that it will be the destruction of tn,
place?
A-Well, if Memphis dies it il

Dwell, doctor, it seems that re-
Gently you have changed your minC
somewhat and you now say that you
was not so much afraid Of the germs
as of people coming to town to handle
the cotton, if it was allowed to come
in. Am l correct in this ?
A.-Yes, sir.
Dwell, doctor, did you at tn,
outset of the epidemic, issue orders t
let no one come into town excep
upon the most urgent necessity?
A.-No, did not interfere will

That grass and stock growing are more
prohtable than raising grain is a proposition
so well understood as would seem to render
IL unnecessary to use any further arguments
i'll support oft Indeed, there is scarcely Il
well-conducted farm TO be found on which
live stock does not constitute one of its most
prominent features. 1t is u selfevident fact
that where farm products have to be trans
ported long distances to market it is the part
of wisdom to reduce them in weight and bulk
as much as possible. And this, in the case of
such bulky articles as grass and grain can
best be done by feeding them to stock, and
thus conveying them to market in the shape
OF beef, pork mutton, wool, cheese, butter
| and milk, instead of in their original state
The homey phrase that "the best sack in
which to carry corn to market is becfs hide
| or hogs skin" expresses the idea most forci-
bly,, if not elegantly. Especially is this the
more necessary when the market is at such
distance ms to make the difference of even the
fraction OF Il cent in the pound in the cost of
transportation considerable item in deciding
the question ofprotit and loss.
1t is one of the most obvious of business
principles that capital, to be rendered most
profitable, should be constantly emploved.-
Say the security is equally good, it is far more
profitable to loan money on long time at four
per cent. than at short intervals at eight per
cent, with the capital lying idle most of the
time. The same is true of labor. 1t is far
better for a laboring man to take steady work
at fifty cents day Gf found than to depend
on uncertain jobs at double the price And
as labor is part of the farmers capital, it
stands to reason that he can put it out to bet
ter advantage in growing stock than in rails
ing grain, in which latter case both himself
and teams are comparatively idle thifd of
tha tlf OF,
ploymcnt during the entire time Again, on
many farms where the raising of grain is
made a speciality there is much valuable food
wasted for the want of stock to consume it,
and which could thus beput to more profita-
bic use than allowing it to rot for manure
So, too, there are many farms that are either
too wet or too billy or stony for profitable
tillage, but which would give fair returns in
grass, in which case even the hooks and cor
ners, sides of streams, fence-rows, etc, can be
utilized, while they are of no account in rails
ing grain

The Origin Of Wheat i'm America.

Some time ago we published in these col
umns the commonly received statements in re-
gard to the introduction of wheat into Amer
lea from Europe; but if the fact stated below
be true, then wheat must have been grown in
America long before the advent of the Span
ish, English, or Dutch to this country, or
even otthe Norsemen. It'll generally suppos-
ed that Cortez planted in Mexico, in 1880, the
first wheat ever grown on American SOIL
From Mexico wheat was introduced into Pc
III. The English and Dutch brought il to
the present limits of the United States at the
time oftheir first settlements here-1607, 1914,
and 1920. Now, however, the story is
brought forward that wheat was known to
the Mound Builders, who inhabited this coun-
try Heaven only knows how many centuries
ago, but certainly no later than the year 1000
A. ID. As our readers are aware, these
aborigines have left traces oftheir occupation
all over our country, especially in the Mssis
sippi Valley. In a mound opened in Utah
were found buried the remains of a man near
ly six and a half feet in length, the skeleton
ola woman nearly as long, and moreover,
several handsful of wheat preserved in Il stone
box. If this discovery was really made, and
we are assured that it was. the supposition
that wheat was unknown in America before
the coming of Europeans is erroneous. 1t
has commonly been supposed that the only
cereal known to the Mound Builders was our
maize or Indian corn.

Where Corn is King.

Corn is king in Kansas, so far as space is
concerned. They plant by square miles, one
might fairly infer, the fields are so incredibly
far reaching and if it did not grow yery
much OF its own accord it could not grow at
all, as the sheer abundance of il forbids any
thing like thorough cultivation. They aim TO
pillow it twice, though sometimes once has TO
suffice, and where it has been sod planted it
is left untouched till it ripens and vet it
thrives in way that makes folly of all rule
and precedent, the stalks attain size and
height which give to them resemblance of
young hickory, and the men with plows look
lost among them; and as for the ultimate Weld
in ears and bushels, is it not proclaimed every
where in those graphic and seductive land
advertisements that tell how Kansas was ten
years ago the twenty fourth State in the pro-
duction of corn, and is now surpassed by on.
~ three of all the thirty-eight? The small
cost and labor of tillage is doubtless the chief
melting cause of this extensive recourse to n
crop, which, however bounteous il NAV be-
offers but slender profit unless fed to live
stock; but | suspect that it is crop that al
so has special favor with the frontier people
perhaps without their exactly realizing the
preterence-because oftheresolute, imperious
army -witl-banners method it has of possess
ing and holding the country For corn is by
nature aggressive and determined The
smaller grains feel their way timidly in n
primitive soil, and the aboriginal verdure
disputes every inch of progress with them
But where this autocrat of the cereals takes
root it scorns rivalry, and its sway is com.
pletc and enduring. And SO these leagues
upon leagues of Kansas corn, seen in the sum
mer and in their glory of siken and tasseled
and sunlit strength, convey a signally strik-
ing impression They do not merely cling
to the earth but they seize it and make it
their own; you know that those dense and
advancing ranks can never be stayed, never
turned back; and somehow the vast eXpanse
OF unconquered prairie yet spread out before
them and all about thcm-ten acres to each
one acre of theirs-seems overawed and con-
tracted by their masterful influence 1t is

SLEEP.

JOHN q. SAKE.
"God bless the man who first invented Sleep"
So Sancho Panza said, and so say /;
And bless him also that he didn't keep
His great discovery to himself; or try
To make it-as the lucky fellow might
close monopoly by patent right"
Yes, bless the man who first invented sleep!
u really can't avoid the iteration0
But blast the man, with curses loud and deep,
Whatc' er the rascal's name, or age or station,
Who first invented and went round advising,
That artificial cutoff" early rising!"
" Rise with the lark, and with the lark to bed,
Observes some solemn, sentimental owl
MaXmS like these are very cheaply said;
But ere you make yourself fool or fowl,
Pray just inquire about their rise or fall,
And whether larks have any beds at all
The time for honest folks to be AIDED "
Is in the morning, if | reason right;
And he who cannot keep his precious head
Upon his pillow till it's fairly light,
And so enjoy his forty morning winks
Is up-to knavery; or else-he drinks!
Thompson, who sung about the Seasons" said
1t was glorious thing to rise in season
But then he said it-lying-in his bed
AT 10 o'clock a. n.-the very reason
He wrote so charming. The simple fact is
His preaching wasn't sanctioned by his practice
'Ts doubtless well to be sometimes awake
Awake to duty and awake to truth
But, when alas a nice review we take
OF our best deeds and days, we find in sooth,
The hours that leave the slightest cause to weep,
Are those we passed in childhood, or-in sleep.
'Tis beautiful to leave the world awhile,
For the soft visions of the gentle night
And free at last from mortal care and guile
To live as only in the angels sight;
In sleeps sweet realms cozily shut in
Where, at the worst, we only dream of sim
So let us sleep, and give the Maker praise,
Like the lad who. when his father thought
To clip his morning nap by hackneyed phrase
Of yagrant worm by early songster caught,
Cried. Served him right! It's not at all surpris-
ing,
The word was punished, sir, for early rising"
