Not many years ago most of that land
was marsh, much OF which was COW

the time and supposed to be almost ut

it is proving to be of extray quality
for agricultural purposes. What speaks
we'll for country is, hardly farm there
is for sale at any price. The value of the
land ranges from $50 to $75 per acre,
and the presen, seasons oat crop has
averaged 80 t" 100 bushels per acre, some
farms going even beyond that. OF tim

Good Sense.

Where it is convenient 10 allow your boy to own colt or two in his own right, says the National Stockman, and where tle young fellow is sufficiently manly to ap- preciate tho animal for what he is, and shows sufficient pride to want to make him all he can become, it is both sensible and profitable to give the boy a chance. Personal ownership of fine stock. with an understanding of it's value, will do more to develop in the youth CD a liking for the farm and @ broad and progressive spirit in connec- tion' with farming than perhaps anything else. Even a liberal cd ucation will do less toward making an enthusiastic farmer, filled with the better side of his chosen busi ness, unless it is accompanied by association with the higher types of domestic animals. Nothing is better calculated to develop enthu siasm in the boy for good stock than the ownership of a fine horse. It's beauty, it's spirit, it's intelli, gence, its susceptibility to training its capacity for affection for it's master--all appeal most strongly to those with whom such animals come in contact. Let your boy own a colt Lot 1t be a bloodeC one if you can afford it--at leas, let it have good sire. Encourage the boy 10 keep it in good condi ton and handsome in appearance thns getting him accustomed tt habits of care, which will stand him in goed stead when lie comes to handle other kinds of stock Encourage him to develop hi speed in everp way except ont and that is in speed competitions Nine out of ten farmers boys whC get into the speed ring are worstet by its associations and tendencies and We cannot close this paragraph better tlan by urging every farmer 10 keep his boy out O it.

Keep out of Debt,

There was never better advice given to the people at large, and especially to the fathers, who are the greatest sufferers from the per nicious habit of going in debt, than this from the St. Louis Republican:
 ''If Americans could have root. ed out of them the ruinors and pernicious habit of living beyond their means, one of the active agencies in producing penics, bus mess collapses and Impressions of trade would be removed We nev- CT know how general this habit is. till crash like that of 1873 comes on the country. These crashes are sharp. peremptory notices to pay up, addressed to every person in debt. The demand has to be com piled with, and the bankruptcies and breakups in every community that follow reveal the large number of persons who have been living on favor It is easy enough to live beyond one's means when times are prosperous. Credit IS promptly extended to all who can make show of property, and not a few make use of credit to see a show of wealth, mortgage property which they do not really own, and the interest charge on which swal- lows up n large fraction of their income. Debts are inexorable, and sooner or later they must be paid, either during lite, by selling the unfortunate debtors mortgaged possessions and leaving him a bankrupt, or at bis death, by strip. ping his family of all their imag- iaed wealth, and leaving .hem des- tltute.
 There is no class of persons who can less afford to go into debt than farmers-and this because, when once in debt, they rarely get out. In many counties in Missouri, the American farmers are being grad ually displaced by Germans--and the process is so complete as to have entirely transformed the com munity from what it was twenty years ago. The explanation is simple, Germans do not go in debt nor live beyond their means, but buy the farms of the Americans who do. Missouri farmers should remember the lesson of 1873, and profit by it. That disastrous col lapse, which involved so many persons in ruin, was brought about by extravagance--and the next one that comes will be in great meas ure, the product of the same cause. The cnly safety, when it comes, will be in freedom from mortgage holders and money lenders. Fi- nancial revulsions, panics, depres sions and all that sort os thing have no effect upon the farmer who is ont of debt. They pass ov- CT his unmortgaged roof without disturbing a shingle.

ment among railroad employees for organ
izing among themselves new polltlcal
party to oppose the men who, as they ex>
pressed it, were depriving them OF their
bread and butter In the state OF Illinois
alone are over $4,000 railroad employees,
and at least 100000 voters are indirectly
connected with the operation of the rail-
roads and all interested alike in the main
tenance of fair scale of wages.
Passenger trains are frequently run at
an absolute loss; there are not passengers
enough on them to pay running expenses,
to say nothing of the wear and tear OF
track and rolling stock. Many short To-
cal accommodation trains are run at a
positive loss every day to accommodate
the public. Stock trains have been run
100 miles, made up Of an engine, three
cars of stock and caboose, and put
through at a good rate of speed, for the
purpose of enabling the owner OF the
stock to get to market by certain hour.
That is an exception, of course, but it is
fair illustration Of what railroads are
constantly doing in business which does
not really furnish compensation.
During the past ten years q continuous
reduction in rates has been going on.
The railroads have done voluntarily more
than any board of commissioners has
asked them to do. If the Illinois lines
had to depend on their local business,
they could not pay the interest upon Their
debts If it were not for the business that
the main lines draw from conventions
east and west. the most prosperous among
them could not pay any dividends at all
