of.all kinds hold an important place
at the breakfast table. The cherished
buckwheat cake, most prominent of

morning meal in the genuine Ameri-
can household. When properly made,
this Is the most delicious of all the
griddle cakes, but it has been against
it when made from yeast or risen over
night, that it was difficult to make

merchant, you lack what is necessary
to the successful farmer, and you
should complain of what you lack,
not farming.
It does no good to make complaint.
You may grumble about farming un-
til death takes mercy on the world by
stopping your tongue, and instead of
bettering your condition thereby you
will make it worse If there is any
fault it is with you, and therefore you
should spend your allowable leisure in
self-improvement, not in blubbering.
Let each one make the spirit and pur-
pose of the Young Farmers Club his
own; seek not for dark spots, but for
that improvement, those methods and
advances, which will rub out the dark
spots, or at least reduce them to the
utmost in number. This done, farm
ing will be found more profitable and
less unpleasant
Some city occupations may give
larger profits, but they are uncertain.
In one day the profits of years are
lost The records show that ninety
per cent. of the business ventures in
towns and cities are failures. Does
any one imagine that ninety per cent.
of farmers fail? The business man
of the city loses his capital as we'll as
his profits; but the business man of
the country (the true farmer is truly
a business many rarely loses his farm
SO long as he is judicious and sticks
to farming. True, war may put the
farmer to exceptionally hard straits,
but grumbling is no remedy for this,
and the hardships to him are not any
greater than to men in any other lines
of business. Brother farmers, we
have good vocation if we make our
selves worthy of it. sThe fault is
not in our stars, but in ourselves, that
we are underlings. ..:..-......

MONOPOLY OF MONOPOLIES.

The people Of the country have
felt the strong hand of corporate
power, but there is another and one
more to be dreaded-the Trust These
"trusts" are swallowing up corpora
tions and chartered enterprises, and
are above and beyond the laws of the
land, or the laws which ordinarily con-
troll competition and trade. Their
powers are limited only by the meas
ure of their greed. We take the fol-
lowing partial presentation of the case
from the Farm and FEresade:
Regarding the great "trusts :"
some of which are now the subject
of Legislative investigation, the Grange
Lecturer uses the following forcible
language ~r
The multiplication of great trade
conspiracies, called trusts, formed
upon the model afforded by the Stan
dard Oil monopoly, sets before the
people of this country a problem
which, in defense of their rights, they
must soon undertake to solve. A trust
is combination devised for the es-
tablishment and maintenance of
monopoly in such way that the real
design of it's founders and the opera
ton Of its machinery are in great
measure concealed from the public.
Absolutely controlling large number
of corporation which seem to be indie
pendent of each other, monopoly in
this form presents to the world the
features of ordinary competition. But
behind the mask there is only monop-
oily, heartless, tyranical and oppres-
sive. The trusts of these days are
not corporations, but by usurping the
franchises of many corporations they
exert, without the restraing influence of
charter regulations, enormous power.
They are monopolies of monopolies.'"
AS an illustration of the burden of
taxation these trusts can impose on
the pople of this country for their
own exclusive benefit, take that of the
sugar refners. It is estimated that
this country annually consumers about
5000, 100000 pounds of sugar. An
advance in the price for one year of
only one cent a pound would then
simply take from the consumes an
extra $50, 900, O0O-quite nice little
item to divide among comparatively a
few large dealers, the majority of
whom are on the inside of the "com-
bine."

FARMINGA GOOD OCCUPATION.

The following very sensible article
is contributed to the Sother7a Cultavator
by Mr.. John M. Stahl. 1t is worthy
careful perusal: ..
| dislike to see in agricultural jour-
nails complaints that farming does not
pay; that the farmers lot is a very
hard one; that the farmers wife is a
slave, etc. Such complaints are not
infrequent in our agricultural papers
South and North, West and East.
They ought not to appear. -.
In this blessed country of ours, the
best for the people of any on the
globe, no man is bound down by caste.
We have not the least semblance of
those unbreakable bonds which hold
men to certein planes of action. II,
then, farming is such hard, unproft-
able vocation, why do you not forsake
it and do work less unpleasant and
better paid? You are perfectly free
to do this; you are not compelled to
be farmer by the laws of the land
or the customs of society. The only
thing that can prevent your doing
other work is your lack of ability and
skill. If you lack these, no wonder
you find farming Improbable, and the
fault is not with farming, but with
you. Nowadays "any fool can farm"
only SO long as he is backed by good
bank account. If you lack the ability
and business training necessary to the

az will give you new as well as a
valuable method for the destruction
and determinations of that great
scourge of the fowl house, which I
recommend as the best. 1t is this: If
you are troubled with lice, simply arm
yourself with an axe or hatchet, march
to the woods and cut nice, large ce-
dar limb. On arriving home, nail the
branch to the side of the poultry
house and closely note the result. Ii
about to set one or more hens, the
best thing in the world would be to
go to a planning mill and get all the
cedar chips you can carry. After
wetting them thoroughly place them
in the nest in which you are to set the
hen. Another good plan is to have
the nest boxes made out of red cedar,
but that would be the more expensive
of the two. For laying hens would
recommend either the cedar nest, ce-
dar chips, or good plan is to go to a
turning mill and have all the nest eggs
you want turned out of cedar wood"
