THE GREAT PROBLEM.

II
News Of riots between colored men
and white men grows more and more
frequent, demonstrating how greatly
strained are the relations that exist
between them. Murders of colored
men by white desperadoes is paral-
leled by news of negro ravishings and
murders in cold blood, all pointing to
the existence of feeling that does
not augur well for peaceable condi-
tions of society In the future. 1t Is
all very well to sheer at this or treat
1t flipantly saying that there is no
race conflict, but the facts are against
this presumption. There is a deep
and very general feeling among the
democrats of all grades that the col
ored mans vote must he suppressed
whenever that vote threatens the
supremacy of the whites. 1t is a
feeling which will resist to
the death the election of col
ored men to office, and the
recognition of their full political
right whenever and wherever the ex-
ercise of such rights give them ma
jority, or lodges in their ranks the
balance Of power. After this fact no
intelligent man can be ignorant who
keeps his eyes and his ears open to
the events transporting around him.
Every year this problem will grow
more complicated, as every year the
Industrial condition of the south i'm
proves and the supremacy Of the col
ored man means more in its effect
upon all local legislation, state and
The national government

q fair vote and count at the polls pre-.
sided over and guarded by the
federal authorities, but this will
only intensity the determination to
exclude from all participation in
state and municipal affairs. 1t is a
to suppose that this sen til
ment is a mere prejudice which will
pass away as the years lengthen. It
is sentiment more or less ingrained
into the consciousness of every south
ern democrat and into thousands of
others who would not be democrats
today were it not for this question.
No more serious problem confronts
the party in power today, than this
same question of how to preserve to
the colored citizen of African descent |
the political rights conferred upon
HIM and guaranteed to him under
the constitutional amendments, That |
the years must change in some way
the situation seems inevitable and |
it is just as inevitable that the |,
colored citizen must be protected |
in his rights. The continued and
peaceable existence of two races so
distinct as the white and colored |
races now occupying this country and
their existence under equal political
and civil rights and privileges is an
new problem presented to
the political and social economist,
and one in which the wisdom of the
age will be taxed to find satisfac-
tory and suitable solution. The
of the rights of the COL
bred man citizen and voter by force is
no solution of the problem.

LARGEST number of stock possible, keep

And anything that increases or decreases

Of stock that can be kept, and the sup

upon the number of stock kept, so that

The best tool farmer has is his brain.
TAKE time to read and study about

more.
ONE advantage in keeping careful
farm accounts is that they enable you to
determine what products of the farm
are profitable and which are not.
A CROP ofcolts, q crop of early lambs,
plenty of the best butter from each COW,
and lots of pigs to sell is good foun-
daton for successful farming.

AN exchange tells us farmer of Lam
caster County, Nebraska, has an ear of
corn which weighs one pound nine and
one-half ounces, but does not give the
weight of the cob. Some very large
cobs have very little corn on them.
THERE are farmers in almost every
community who do not seem to realize
that this is an age of progress, and that
if they are to hold their places or go
forward, they must be alive, and keeenly
alive, to the times in which they live.
WANT Of forethought among many
Farmers. is the main reason for their
failure to acquire competency. They
buy more land than they can use, often
times with borrowed capital, and can lilly
afford to pay interest and taxes on that
which brings no income.
THERE are questions of general inter-
est occurring every day on the farm, in
Inc solution of which most farmers will

THE IsEE-KEEpER
Advantages of Small Ap1ar,e..

Advantages of Small Apiaries.
Unless extra care and attention to de-
tails is given, large business of any
KIND is not SO successful in proportion
to its size as o small one. This applies
as truly to the honey business as to
others. Among those who are largely
engaged In the apiary business there are
those who advocate placing the bees in
small apiaries, and give good reasons
for it. Christian Weckesser, of Mar
| shallville, Ohio, is one of them. This is
what he says of it:
This season has put an additional
impetus to my impressions that it is we'll
to have the bees in small apiaries of
twenty to thirty colonies. one or two
miles apart, where practical, unless the
location is we'll stocked. My home
aplary of sixty to seventy colonies this
year gave no surplus, and We're consid-
erably short of sufficient winter stores;
while small out-apiary of twelve colo
MES gave almost enough surplus to sup
Fly the deficiency of those at home; and,
besides, they are in better condition for
winter, and did not need as much atten-
ton. In good honey season, this ar-
rangement may be considerably more
troublesome; but the feature of being
almost sure that they will be in good
condition for winter, without feeding,
even if the season is poor, will offset
considerably more trouble in n good
season, while, if things are properly ar
ranged. this additional trouble can I'M
doubtedly be reduced to minimum, es-
pecially if the bees are run principally
for extracted honey; in which case, if
Simplicity hives are used. and TERED up
with sufficient empty combs, at the be-
ginning of the season, little attention
need be given nor apprehensions of
swarming entertained until, when the
season is ended and the honey is sure to
be we'll ripened, it can be extracted.
