The Field.

The wise man tells us, "The
profit of the earth is for all, the
King himself is served by the
field" And it is so. We all de-
pend on the tiIlers of the soil which
under the blessing of the Father
Of All ''bringeth forth kindly fruits
for the sustenance of man and
beasts" The farmer feeds all and
without him all else is in vain.
Other things being at all equal, as
prospers the farmer, so prospers
the nation. And yet in the ordi-
nary civil government he receives
least attention of all. There is
special Legislation in abundance
for the manufacturer, with special
laws for the banker, the merchant,
the carrier, and others, but the far
mer is left pretty much to himself
TO do as best he can, except
the. tax-gatherer makes his
i.-a--a.i8i..s-9-zlssz
his vote. On those occasion
attended With great particularly.
The farmer is not appreciated as
he deserves. nor does he receiva
the attention he should. There are
many peoples and countries that
In their civil proceedings seem to
act as though they regarded him
as a sort of necessary evil whose
aim and end we're to provide food
for the rest of mankind, part of
whom have neither the energy nor
the skill to provide for themselves.
Besides: those who depend on
the farmers often use any means
in their power to get the better of
them. They viii make a corner
and buy up their wheat and corn at
a low price, and then form another
corner and sell the same grain at
an advance that makes fortunes.
Then they form trusts and buy the
live stock of the farmers, combine
and sell at a large advance in price.
This is not fair, nor is it Just. If
there be any class ofmen deserving
a fair rem1inerative price for the
results of their labor, it is the far
mer; and if he viii, that is, if all
wiz, manage to keep out of debt,
they may have things their own
way. People may manage to get
along very comfortably without
costly equipage, costly furniture,
and costly apparel, but food they
must have and this the tilIers of
the soil must provide.-Ex.

The Expenditure of Public Monez.

The national report nuisance has
grown steadily for a number of
years, and as there is always some
body ready to investigate every
thing, and as congress is always
ready to spend money for any sort
of an investigation, the reports
come in and the money goes out
with distressing steadiness, We
have investigated railroads, the
tariff, contagious diseases and
about everything else that anybdsly
thought would bring money ousof
the treasury, if an investigation
was set on foot. Thousands of
dollars have been spent in tbs
way at the instigation of SPEND
thrifts, cranks and plotters, against
the national treasury. But the re-
suits have been very small. All
the Legislation we have ever had
upon matters that have been in
vestigated, could have been had,
and would have been had, without
such investigations. The reports
on animal diseases have enlighten-
ed nobody. 1t is not likely that
one congressman in fifty ever goes
through one of these reports. 1t
is very certain that not one person
in ten thousand outside of congress
ever goes through one. Some time
ago the treasury department sent
out big red book describing the
various cattle of the world. When
ever we see that book is suggests
that the government just strained
itself to find some way to spend
some money. The book is not
appreciated even for what it is
worth in the newspaper offices, and
the people at large have never seen
it and never will. 1t is time that
this sort of work was stopped.
1t is time that congress got the
idea firmly fixed that the money in
the treasury has cost too much toll
and sacrifice on the part of some
body to be thrown away like PAN
full of dirt.-Western Rural.

As TO Big Plantations.

The newspapers of several of
the older southern states are dis
eussing the idea of doing away
with large plantations, Inaugural
ting IN their stead the system of
small farms. And the idea seems
popular. As a rule, big farms do
not pay, but the small, well cult
waited farm will. One of the Geor-
gla papers takes this sensible view
of the matter: "The big Georgia
plantation must go, and the thrifty
little two-mule farm is the one to
take its place. Georgia is an agri-
cultural state, but she cannot raise
corn for market in competition
with the fertile soil of the west.
But Georgia can and must raise
enough corn for her own consump-
ton, or her farmers will soon all
be bound up under the unrelent-
ing mortgage as they are in Michi-
gan. The big farm will not pay
in Georgia, but the small one will.
The two-mule farm is the one for
this section. The expense is not
so great, and the lands can be en-
riched more easily" This matter
is worthy of consideration, even
by those who own and cultivate
the rich lands of Texas. A greater
variety of crops and more skilled
methods of cultivation would GER
tainly place the farmers in a more
independent position and eventu-
ally result in the adjustment of
the credit system, which now i'm
poses such a heavy tax upon the
farmers.-Houston Post.
There is more Catarrh in this section of
tue country tnan all Otner diseases put
together, and until the last few years,
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years Doctors pronounced it a
local disease, and prescribed local RENE
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it ir
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to
be constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls

In an item credited to "Ex. it is
said that heifer has no rings on
her horns until it is two years of
age, and one is added each year
thereafter. You can therefore tell
tIlo age of a COW with tolerable &C
curancy by counting the rings on
her horns and adding two to the
number. The bull has no rings as
a general rule until he is five years
old, so to tell his age after that Pc
Rod add five to the number of rings.
The better way is to tell the age
by the teeth, which of course is
the only way with polled cattle.
What are called the milk teeth
gradually disappear in front. At
the end of three years the second
pair of permanent teeth are well
grown; at four years the third pair
and at five the fourth and last pair
have appeared. and at this time the
central pair are of full size. At
seven years a dark line caused
by wearing of the teeth, appears
on all of them, and at nine years
the central pair begins to shrink,
and the third at eleven. After
this period the age can only be de
termined by the degree of shrink
age generally. AT fifteen the teeth
are nearly all gone.
