auditors Mr.. Hendricks shows that he
knows the ruling instincts of the demo-
cratic party. He fingers long and long
ingly on that branch of his theme wherein
he discusses the "SioO,O0OoOO surplus in
the national treasury" and tells of tho
good that $i0O, 900 would do the DEM
ocrats if they could only get at it, The
democrats would unqucstionably make
quick work of that surplus if they had

Sleep as q Medicine.

The cry for rest has always been louder
than the cry for food. Not that it is
more important, but it is often harder
to obtain. The best rest comes from
sound sleep. OF two men or women,
otherwise equal, the one who sleeps the
best will be the most moral, healthy and
efficient. Sleep will do much to cure
irritability Of temper, peevishnese and
uneasiness. It will restore to vigor an
overworked brain. It will build up and
make strong weary body. It will cure
q headache. It will cure broken spirit.
It will cure sorrow. Indeed, we might
make q long list of nervous and other
maladies that sleep will cure. The cure
for sleeplessness requires q clean, coed
bed, sufficient exercise to produce wear.
mess, pleasant occupation, good air and
not too warm room, clear conscience
and avoid stimulants and narcotics. For
those who are overworked, haggard and
nervous, who pass sleepless nights. we
commend the Adoption Of such habits as
shall secure sleep; otherwise life will be
short, and what there is of it sadly i'm
perfect. !

Raising Potatoes.

From my experience IN raising pota-
toes under straw I believe they could be
raised in this way successfully, and save
the labor of cultivation. I had small
plot of ground broken and made mellow.
Rich compost was worked in the soil.
The potatoes were planted by first run
ming small furrow, and then dropping
the seed pieces in this furrow every eight
inches, and covered by running another
furrow, throwing the soil in the first.
and then seed dropped in this, and so on
until finished. The ground was now
covered with straw six or eight inches
deep. I waited until I thought they
would be coming up, and then I ex-
amined them. found that the moles had
ruined my patch. The compost that had
been worked in the soil enticed earth
worms, and the moles, in hunting for
the worms, had eaten all the seed. At
least none came up. The next spring
concluded to plant in different way.
I had my ground broke up deep, work
ing q rich and well-rotted compost thor
oughly in the soil. The soil Yves now
leveled and smoothed. The seed pieces
were planted on top of the soil in straight
lines ten inches apart. and eight inches
apart in The lines. The whole was then
covered with about six or eight inches Of
straw. I found the moles would raise
the soil some, but did not modest the po-
tatoes any. I find that liberal sprink-
ling of unleached ashes about twice dur
ing the growing season is of great adj
vantage. Many vines when stretched
up measured five feet, and the tubers
were the finest I ever raised. Cor. In

lFrom Big Springs (Tex.) letter.
The hester in Texas is the cattle kings
neighbor, but between them there is
wide gap in rank. Aman may own Sec
ton Of land and have fifty, one hundred
or two hundred head Of cattle, but he is
only hester. His 600 acres may be
worth So, SIS, $40 an acre, and with his
stock his possessions may foot up from
$l5, 900 to $40. 900, but he nevertheless
is hester. His land is "a farm" and
his stock ga bunch" When he counts
his pasture, owned or leased, by the Sec
ton instead of by the acre then he has
got "a range" and when his stock is
turned on by the thousand instead of by
the hundred head he has ga herd" Then
he is genuine cowman. He joins a
live stock association. He has his brand
known and recognized from the Rio
Grande to the top tier of Panhandle
counties. When he goes to the city the
papers refer to him as MIR. So. and-So,

neighbor who fenced his range without
any particular regard to what the nesterf
wanted. When they complained he
talked back pretty stifly and told them
the road would have to go where he
wanted it to. Well, they've cut bown
twenty miles of fence for him. Anothe,
of my neighbors is Eelskin Davis. That
first name is one the cowboys give him.
Eelskin gets through the year with less
expense for his herd than any cowman in
Texas, I believe. When he wants tc

says to the nesters around him, who've
all got little lunches of maybe fifty or q
hundred head of cattle, Here, you fel.

him and get their cattle sorted out and

HER DEAD.
By WI, h. MAHER.

- . :
When Ill the world was dressed in green,
and birds returned from southern cline,
When crocus sweet and dAfodils
Proclaimed the advent Of springhme,
She softly sang cradle song
And watched the black clouds overhead
How lovingly the raindrops fall
Upon the children's graves" she said.
When slowly sank the summer sun,
And soft winds whispered through the trees,
They gathered at the door to greet
The benediction Of the breeze;
They watched the swallows akin the air,
They heard tbs robins song o'erhead-
" love to have the sweet birds sing i
Above the children's graves" she said.
The autumn winds blew loud and shrill,
Loud chirped the crickets 'mongst the corn;
The Sentians aud the asters smiled
To make the world look1ess forlorn.
They watched the forest lights and shades,
The tinted leaves of brown and red,
How soft q carpet autumn weaves
Upon the children's graves" she said.
In leaden gray the skies look down;
The wild goose cries "a south she goes,
The cracking fire burns on the hearth,
The mother softly says, SIT SHOWS.
O, snow, come down with feathery feet,
And spread your mantle DER my dead;
O, snow, thou'rt not more pure than they
Who lie beneath the graves, i" she said.

+" Fighting Weeds"

Fighting Weeds"
We meet frequently with this head
ing to paragraphs in exchanges. It
conveys wrong lesson as commonly
used. Simple and quiet determination
is better. If weeds are allowed to get
foot In height, a warfare is then begun
and carried on to an indefinite length of
time, and the weeds often come off VIC
torious. The usual cause of this failure
is in attempting to cultivate too much
land with small force. The result is
an enormous growth of weeds, a chok-
ing and diminution of the crop, and a
supply of noxious seeds to fill the soil
and last years. The weeds get entire
possession in this way and the crops
have an unequal chance until another
blowing checks them temporarily.
The remedy is we'll arranged plan
for going over the ground once week,
IN all hoed crops, sweeping the surface,
killing all weeds before they come up.
All this work more than paid for in
the increased growth OF the crops by
this continued stirring, provided the
right tools are employed. Take the
corn crop for instance. The pillow and
the harrow will prepare a clean, mellow
bed of earth before planting. If the
field is inverted sod, it may be reduced
to a fine state of pulverization with the
Acme harrow, or disk harrow, the fin
ish being given with any smoothing har-
row: By planting the seed an inch and
half or two inches deep, in the shallow
furrow made by the marker, a fine
s'ant-tooth harrow may be passed
over both before and after the
plants are up without injury to them.
The operation may be continued once
week until the corn is foot high. Some
OF the plants may be bent over, but they
will be erect again in day or two.
After this q shallow cultivator may be
run between the rows till the corn is as
high as the horses back. This work
properly performed, will leave the field
as clean as foor-the small slant teeth
killing the sprouting seed in the row and
among the plants, as we'll as over the
whole surface; and the subsequent Gull
tivating keeping the spaces clean be-
tween the rows. We have never seen
cleaner fields than such as were treated
in this way, and the cost of this labor,
first and last, was less than the old hand
hoeing.
But it must not be forgotten that tn Q
attempt will be failure if the necessary
work is intermitted and the weeds get a
start. It is Indispensable necessary to
keep them constantly under the sur
face. There must be no Fighting" but
suppression and determination,
The potato crop may be treated in the
same way until the plants are five or six
inches high, after which the leaves
would be somewhat lacerated with the
harrow. Carrots, beets and turnips are
too small in early growth, and require
clean soil in advance, with frequent
passing of the cultivator between the
rows, which, as they become larger by
growth, require cultivator that may be
contracted in breadth.
