THE FARM DEPARTMENT.
THE RUT OF THE FATHERS
Doesn't Mean Much When Used in
the New Regions OF the North
WnSf


Special to the Globe.
FOUNTAIN, Mimi, May 2S.-I am at a
loss to really and fully understand what
this expression means: s'follow in the
rut their fathers and grandfathers did,
as applied to the farmers of the North,
and L may say the same of the whole
Western states. l know that men in
driving will follow in the track of other
wagon tracks and go down into ''pitch
hole" on one side and then into a s'pitch
hole" on the other side. when on an
other side of the road is a good,
dry but rough driving place, but
Its too rough" so they will "walIow'
through that same muddy spot and
then say they didn't know the rut
holes were so Deep" instead of driving
around it on the rough side of the road
and wearing it down until smooth. If
that is the meaning of the expression
rut of their ancestors, then what is the
appellation to be applied to farmers of
this whole Western country whose an
ceStorS never lived on farm, those
who never lived day on farm? Now
some of the most thrifty farmers that
L know are of this latter class.
Then there are those who do the best
they know how, and improve slowly
until, after years of hardest toll, they
understand the method of farming
clearly and scientifically and proftably.
L know there are few farmers who do
follow the oldmethod of farming-With-
out machinery-until they can purchase
and
PAY CASH DOWN,
instead of placing a mortgage on their
homeSteadS. Now, want to know if
here is anything wrong in that? To
my mind such an one is to be hOnored
and not sneered at, as it seems to me
they are by the expression so often used.
6Haylng seen so much of the cause
and effect of pioneering the past forty
two years of my life, L most strongly
protest against that expression of fsfol-
lowing the same rut as their fathers did
before them," and many that have
machinery to farm with have done so
under the belief that they could pay it
so easily, and did net know anything'o of
the miShapS that farmer has to con-
tend with, but it was simply to
Pillow AND HOE
and reap a crop of grain, and
pay the debt when due. This
is written with decided feeling of re-
sentiment against the term being used
as it often is by those that do not know
the underlying cause of so many fail
ures in farming. This term was used
in paper read at farmers institute
in Wisconsin and sent to me when pub
lished. l believe in any good and legit-
innate way OF drawing farmers together
and making their isolation less marked
and their lives more pleasant. This
rests among themselves, as l found
when we took possession of our
farm eighty rods from the city
limits. L never found it very
lonesome in pleasant days and

SONGS AND DANCES,
With Other Features at the Benefit
to Billy Wells and James Murray.

The benefit given Billy Wells, stage
manager, and James Murray, treasurer.
at the Olympic theater last night, was
a success in every particular. The
house was filed with friends of the
beneficiaries, and many tickets found
their way into the box which
were not represented in the audi
ence. The sketch team which
has become so familiar to patrons
of the Olympic, Billy Wells and Grace
Sylvano,. appeared first pn the pro-
gramme in new production of their
comedy. Miss Ida Marsh, ballad singer:
Joe Crawford, comedian, and May
Adams, in her pretty living pictures,
pleased the audience immensely. Per-
hapS the most entertaining feature was
the song and dance entitled My Little
Colleen Rose, 'by little Rosa Barnes. The
song is the production of James Murray,
and he furnished the piano accompani-
ment. James Wheeler, stage manager
of the Comique, at Minneapolis, APP
peared in an Indian club act; Mike
Cohan, st. Paul amateur, performed
an Irish song and dance; Miss Ray r.
excellent vocal selections, and
Prof. John +. Sherry played on
his banjo. A. n. Humphrey,
who was announced TO appear in
shooting contest with Prof. John H.
Clark, was unable to be present. Prof.
Clark was there, however, and gave the
audience some samples of his wonder
full craftsmanship. Fiskey Barnett
sang Hes All Right When You Knows
Him." The Blue and Gray and The

paniment Of Mr.. Murray, and was

TWO RURAL PESTS,
In Spite OF the Cold and Rain the
Chinch Bug Is Numerous and

Chinch Bug Is Numerous and
Lively.
Special to the Globe.
FOUNTAIN, Mimi, May 2s.-These
are the days when the garden claims
the attention of the housewife, either in
the vegetable or flower plat of ground,
and the rain still comes down every
three or four days, sometimes each al
ternate day, as regular as the days come
along: and, after all the cold, rainy
weather, the chinch bug survives it alias
a neighbOr of mine assured me that, in
taking sheet from her grass plat, she
found it literally covered with the little
pests, which all had fOndly hoped were
mingling with the dust of their ancestors
in woods and fields where they lived
all the winter long until the cold was
over, and still they are with us yet; des-
pite all the circumstances that might be
the death OF them, root and branch, they
are with US here in great numbers. Last
summer | had fine show of Japanese
pinks, which bl0omed early and went
out of blossom during hot weather.
Later they budded again and promised
to make show in the world Of flowers.
Buds were very thick, but did not open
or ever show any color, which puzzled
OllC Z
the capsules and found every one filled
with
THE CHINTZ BUGS,
which streamed out in a rapid way.
Every capsule was perfectly devoid of
anything relating to flower, and then
L cut the plants all down and clipped
away every bud that made it's appear
ance after that time, least the pests
should kill the plants. Whenever the
weather has been at all favorable this
spring have been out in the flower
gargen at work, but had not worn spec
tacles, as | supposed the bug was not
ways of this altogether too free enemy
of mankind, and write this to let my
floral sisters know the little wretches are
still furnishing in town as well as in the
country, as they will kill many of the
towering plants as well as the grain
crops. Look well to the flower garden
if you have one. Another pest in the
flower garden is the
POTATO BUG.
Some years ago when large leaves
and large flowers were the fashionable
plans on the lawn. l had large variety
of the Daturas; in fact, all the varieties
of that plant, and the Colorado beetles
were getting in their work in fine style
among the SOlanac8 order of plants,
which also embraces many beautiful
Towering plants as we'll as the potato.
l was very proud of my Daturas, with
their prodigious leaves and monster
flowers and great height, fairly out
stripping the tall cannas and the tall
double helianthus, and all other tall
growing plants. All, but that beetle
from the mountains and plains of Col
orado finished the potatoes and sought
out DaStUrpS new finding If in NV new
fashionable bed, of which l was so
proud. Every Datura was stripped of
its tender outer bark, and the inside
was not much to feed that tribe of de-
structive creatures.

FAIRMoNT, W. Va, Oct. 24.-The
grandest political demonstration Of the
year for this section took place here to-
night. The Hon. John Dalzell, Of Pitts
burgh, was the orator Of the evening,
and his admirable argument was listen
ed to by more than thousand people.
1t is needless to speak Of the address
further than to say that it was fully
equal to his best. The crowd was so
large as to inspire the orator to great
effort for Protection, which was fire.
quently punctuated with vociierous ap-
plause.
Prominent on the stage was General
W. Fl. II. Flick, the Republican candi-
date for Congress in this district, and
his presence was greeted with the most
enthusiastic demonstrations, and when,
on the conclusion of Mr.. Dalzells speech
the General was loudly called for by his
host OF admirers in the audience, he
arose and advanced to the front OF the
stage, the vast crowd arose almost US
one man and the applause was deafen-
ing, continuing until the General raised
his hand and muteiy appealed to be
heard. The cheers subsidized momentariiy
hut suddenly began again and continued
for several minutes. F..
Finally General Flick obtaineda hear
ing, and after graceful recognition OF
the magnificent ovation, he referred to
his recent illness and the lll.natured
Democratic comments upon it, remark
ing that he had not known until he
reached Fairmont that he was u mental
and physical wreck, but that he had here
been informed that such is the case. He
then, good naturedly, asked the audience
il he wasn't pretty good looking wreck.
He said that though he had been at one
time in IN extremely critical condition
he had been, under the Providence OF
God, raised up again, and he was quite
confident he would be able to take his
seat in Congress on the 4th Of next
March, and he extended cordial invi-
tation to his constituents to visit him in
Washington.
The General is in excellent condition
and his presence tonight in the view Of
the great crowd was most gratifying to
his friends. He is suffering slightly
from the effects OF the recent mishap at
Martinsburg, in which he and Mr.. Far
ren, who is also here tonight were
thrown from a buggy in a collision Of
two teams on the fair ground. Both are
badly bruised about the shoulders, but
both, l am glad to note, are rapidly re-
covering.
The demonstration tonight surpassed
all previous efforts OF either party and
the advertising, according to Democratic
was done only by little eight
by ten circulars. What it would have
been had big full sheet-posters OF the
DEMOCRATIC kind been circulated is be-
yond computation. General Flick and
Mr.. Dalzell expect to attend the mass
at Warrington tomorrow.
