What an Old Farmer Thinks.

He Is in age upwards of three
score years, the New South says,
and has been a farmer all his life.
He is in good circumstances, does
not owe a dollar, and has given
his children fair education. And
now, here is what he thiuks:
One acre of land well prepared
and well cultivated produces more
than two which receive only the
same amount of labor used on one.
One COW, horse, mule, sheep OF
hog well fed is more profitable
than two kept on same amount nee
essary to keep one well.
No farmer who buys oats, corn
or wheat, fodder and hay, as arule
for ten years can keep the sheriff
from his door in the end.
The farmer who never reads the
papers, and is in the habit of sneer.
ing at book-farming and improved
methods, invariably has a leaky
roof, poor stock, broken dow
fences, and many complaints o
bad seasons.
The farmer who is above hi
business and entrusts it to anothe
to manage viii soon have no bust
ness to attend to.-Mobile Regis

Announced as a Republican Policy.

From the dispatches it is learn
ed that the republican leader
of the house, Reed of Maine
agrees thoroughly with Mr.. Blaine
that trusts are private affairs with
which President Cleveland nor any
one else has any right to interfere. ="
1t was hardly believed it would be
admitted that this was to be adj
opted as the republican policy.
That party then not only favors
tariff to enrich manufacturers, but
when these gentlemen find they
can not make as much money as
they would like, even with the aid
OF the government in suppressing
foreign competition, why then the
.1-rSblicans say to these gentle
men; just combine among your
selves; form trusts-we will keep
out the outside fellows from across
the water and you Just go ahead,
run the prices as high as you want
to, bleed all American consumers
as much as you choose and we will
see you are not molested by the
laws. How do you like the repub-
lican position as announced by the
party leaders? Looks like a close
corporation, doesn't it? What
with importing by Mr.. Harrlson's
aid Chinese and other cheap labor
for these manufacturing gents,
and then advising them to pool is
sues while foreign competition is
taxed out it does look like money
has a powerful grip on the republi-
can party. All this is what the
democrats are resolved to break
up, and they will accomplish their
purpose.-Statesman.

Not Afraid.

A volume of annals of old Phila-
delphia contains an anecdote of
Franklin which will, we think be
new to our readers.
A few days after he began to
publish a newspaper, he comment
ed sharply on the dishonest con-
duct of certain influential and
wealthy town officials. Three or
four of his friends, young mechan-
les like himself, anxious to rise in
the world, sharply reproved him
for his imprudence, and told him
that poor man could not afford
thus to make enemies.
Franklin listened in silence and
patience, and when the lecture was
over, asked them to sup with him.
They came, and sat down, expect
ing a luxurious meal, such as was
common in those days among the
well-to-do. Before each guest,
however, was bowl of mush and
milk,and a pitcher of water. They
tried in vain to swallow the coarse
fare, watching Franklin as he emp
tied his bowl with evident relish.
When he had ended he said:
That is my usual supper. l

What a Good Cow IS.

A good COW is not one tina. will
make a large quantity of butter
from nothing, or, what is the same,
from poor pasture. 1t IS fallacy
to think that cows make Il or 20
pounds Of butter weekly out of
poor pasture alone. If any per-
son has claimed this, his statement
is incredible, and it Is useless to
seek for such COWS. There are
none Of them. A good COW is one
that viii make 10 pounds of butter
weekly with good pasture and 6
quarts a day of mixed fine corn
meal sad bran The clear bran); a
better COW is one that will make
II pounds of butter weekly with
10 or II quarts daily of this feed
with the same pasture. The more
feed O COW can turn into milk and
butter, the better that COW is.
There are good COWS of all breeds,
and more among the native COWS,
if they are looked up and tested,
than in all the pure bred COWS to-
gether. But few farmers give
COWS a chance to show what they
can do when well treated, while a
pure-bred COW is stuffed with all
she can swallow. Pick up the
best looking native COWS you can
get, with slender makeup and
large udders, and then feed all
they will eat of the best food, and
you will probably get satisfacto-
ry herd. If COW fats up instead
of milking, beef her and get anoth-
er and persevere.-N. Y. Times.
There is a world of truth and
good sense in the following from
the Nebraska Farmer:
1T is commendable for parents
to start their children when very
young with an account in the say
ings bank and teach them how to
deposit and withdraw funds. They
should be given opportunities to
add to their store by raising
chickens or vegetables for market,
doing errands, etc. This Will in
culcate lasting habits of thrift and
economy; but there should go
with it cline upon line and pre-
cept upon precept," in regard to
the use and abuse of money. Ac-
quisitiveness is the first impulse
of a child, and this spirit should
be fostered and conducted into
right channels. Let the child al
ways have something really its
own, aud later on add things of
cash value and when sold give the
child the money and not lacerate
its feelings as many people do, by
giving a child a thing till it is
sold and then putting the money
IL their own pockets, This course
has driven many boys from the
farm, and it is going on in every
community to-day. A boy who
is not allowed to have anything of
his own and is not taught to buy.

THE SHEEP QUESTION.
Some Pertinent Observations by a
Cow boy.

In reading Mr.. Charles Cranes
Swallow tailed" argument in sup
port of a protection tariff on wool,
some facts are presented to my mind
which Mr.. G. ane neg,ects to mention.
First-The sheep industry being pro-
tected by tariff does not stand on its
own merits. This is certainly self-evi-
dent and needs no comment.
Second-It is encouraged to the in
| jury Of other range industries. II is a
| well-known fact that cattle and horses
will not Craze where sheep have oc-
copied the land for even short time
The sheepman does not confne bims ELF
to any locality, but wanders with his
docks to the south in the winter, to the
north in the summer, dealing destruc
ton to the range, and be. ouliHg its
waters as he goes; constraining the
farmer to feed his milk COWS in mid
summer what, if justice were done,
could be saved for winter; compelling
the cowmen and horsemen to lake
capital from their herds and secure all
their range or go out Of the business.
Priority of possession, the unwritten
law of the range, has no weigh in an
argument with sheepman. Who
ever heard of sheepman pioneering a
country, making bridges and killing
the snakes?" After the road and trails
are made ard the cayotes killed, the
sheepmen are on hand to occupy the
land.
Ane situation is fast approaching
crisis, at least in Utah. If priority of
possession of range cannot govern its
occupancy and if bounty is kept on
wool to encourage its increase then the
cowman and horse an must 60.
It frequently happens that cowman
meets an old-time companion, ana on
inquiring of his friend his vocation is
'sheepishly" answered: "Sheep! |
had to do it. l fought and cursed a
long time whils the sheeDmen were
starving my cattle and getting my
range, and / had 10 sell my cattle and |
buy sheep for my own prot, ction."
What condition to be forced into |
business one detests!
Cowmen and horsemen, there is in |
free trade what legislation will never do |
for you. Put sheep on their merits,
take from the sheep industry the fos-
tering care that protection tariff, that
cold, selfish thing, has over it, and you |
and your friends, the farmers, will no
longer be compelled to make collar
and pair of California socks" serve IS
an ''all wool and yard wide" suits of
underclothes.
Cowmen, wake up! Where is our
Territorial AssociatienP
Has DR.. Faust also been forced into |
the sheep business. Let as petition ard
pray that the tariff may be removed
from wool, and thus show there is
something besides Sleeps heads strug-
Cling to occupy the range in the midst
OF which We have built our homes.
