TEE NINETY AND NINE.

Il AHat oNe might reVel III luxury
And oelappcd in its slken folds
The ninety and nine in their novels bare,
me oae IN his palace with riches rare
lhey toll IN the fields, the ninety and nine,
f ,for lAe fruits Of our mother Earth;
\ Sssl,eyd liz alid dalyc in the dusky mine,
And bring its hidden treasures forth;
But the wealth released by steady blows
10 the hands of the one forever flows
Hy the sweat OF Their brows the desert
blooms
And the forest before them falls:
ihe'r labor has builded humble homes,
And cities wifh lofty halls;
But the one owns cities, homes and lands,
While the ninety and nine has empty hands.
Bllt the night, so dreary. dark and long
At last shall the morning bring,
And over the land the victor's song
Of the ninety and nine shall ring,
And 6,ho afar from zone to zone:
REJOlCE!! for Labor shall have its owE,
Organize and save money.
who will have the best garden in
Jerauld county? Nothing pays better
than a garden.
We see that the farmers show their
faith in tame grass by the way the
seed sells. Last years sowing looks
we'll.
Two big spoonfuls of oil cake meal in
feed once j day to horses and cattle is
net only good as food, but will keep
Off disease and cure diStemper, Try
it.
How many farmers will raise cane
not Cain-but good sorghum this sea-
son? 1t is the best and most profitable
crop on the farm. Its syrup Is pure
and healthy, and it is much better than
the slop house liquid Of Chicago manu-
tacture. Every farmer ought to raise
some sorghum, and save buying so
much sugar.
Love your neignbor,
Live by labor;
Would you prosper,
That's the way.
! The above is a verse we used-to sing
in school. 1t is good us far as it goes.
but farmers have learned that it re-
quires eternal vigilance in watching
what we raise, and studying how to
save it or how to get as much for 1t as
1t cost to raise it, and we ought to have
the same per cent. profit as the merch-
ants, besides,
Farmers, don't neglect to perfect the
organization Of township alliances and
help the ninety and nine to live. See
to it that those creameries are built as
soon as possible, They will bring mon
ey to us just when we most need it
They will be source of profit to their
owners, and will help the merchant
more than the farmer, and make a
town prosper, They will help every
business man and every tax payer, and
every person in this country by passing
money around from the creamery to
the farmers, and from the farmers to
the merchant and laborer, atTording la
Dor to several live persons. The build
ing and business will be a good addi-
ton to any town.
Remember about setting out trees, ]
do not like to advise farmers to disre-
gard Arbor day, out it seems that he
who sets Arbor day in the full or old
Of the moon has not studied the law of
life Of vegetation. | know that trees
girdled IN the old of the moon will
die, and many that are glrdled in the
new of the moon will live, for tried
it in Wisconsin several times just to
learn, as there we girdled trees on pur-
pose to Kill them and rot the stumps
as soon as possible. ! advise farmers
to try the experiment for themselves,
noting the time OF setting trees. The
secret is in the state Of the atmosphere
which every man who has rheumatism
can attest to some atmospheric changes
not observed by others.
The interest in the Alliance seems
w NC vi lllt luCICtlSC ttll
Dakota and Minnesota, and yet there is
room for more. The jugglers, parasites
and vampires of industry were never
more active ana determined to have
the principal and best part Of the pro-
duct of the farmers labor, and the far
mers themselves-a they will pre-
tend to be ever SO good to get an op-
portunity to obtain your confidence as
a friend. Avoid any and every kind Of
business with lawyers you can, for no
matter who wins a suit, all but the
lawyers will loose both pecuniary and
in credit in the end More men are ru-
ined by lawyers than by lightning cy-
clones Or fire. The Alliance should re-
qulre that all OF its members settle
their differences among themselves
without cost to either.
