The time has passed for farmers
to depend on muscle and hard
labor alone. They must do more
thinking and planning if they de-
sire to receive the best results.
The lawyer studies law. The doc
tor medicine. The merchant must
study commerce, the laws of supply
and demand, and the banker must
acquaint himself with the princi-
Piles and details of finances. Just
so the farmer must study farming.
The experiments of last year in
crop raising and breeding must be
remembered and put to practical
use this year. Not only his own
experience but that of his co-labor-
ers should be his to profit by.
Farming is science, and there are
many new things to learn in it yet;
and the best and cheapest way to
learn those things is by study.
take agricultural papers, read in
their columns the experiences and
observations of others and avail
yourself of the many useful hints
and suggestions.-Am. Farmer.

Stand up to the rack, o young
man, and you will find fodder in it
Put on your working harness early
every morning and see that you
keep at work, and you will make
want a stranger. Don't wait for
the job you want, but grasp the
nearest chance. If you can't get
$50 a month, take $25, take SO,
take anything until you can do
better, even if it only be board.
But work, for the world is watching
you. The farmer, the merchant,
the business man, all are watching
for honest, willing workers. Don't
shirk; the work will show. Don't
take on bad habits; they will pull
you down and hold you down.
Don't get up an appetite for public
Office; it will lay You in the field.
Don't try to get something for
nothing, the road leads to Anmosa.
There is a good living, good office
of your own with house and home
attached for every healthy bright
young man who has got grit enough
to spend sixteen hours a day bat

The Colfax CHRONICLE handles
the police jury of Grant parish
without gloves for having yielded
to the demand of the parish farmers
union and repealed the ordinance
exempting from taxation the Lake
Charles and Kansas City railroad
for ten years, provided the same
would be built through the parish.
We think friend Goodwyn's posi-
ton right and to the best interests
of the people; but, Bro. Goodwin,
we are in a hopeless minority so
far as VIM and Grant parishes
are concerned.
The above is from the VIM
Parish Democrat of the 10Th inst.
While we disclaim any personal
criticism upon the farmers union,
we do think that their demand for
the repeal of the railroad ordinance
was short-sighted and unbusiness-
like, and, differing from Bro. Wal
lace, we do not think our views of
this matter repsesent those of the
minority of our people.

Who MOulds Characters.

Washington's father died when
the future President was twelve,
Jefferson's when he was fourteen,
Jackson's before the boy was born,
Madison's when he was youth,
Garfeld's when he was a mere
babe, Harrison the elders before
he had reached his majority, Tyler's
when he was thirteen, Johnson's
when he was four years old, and
Hayes and Cleveland's when they
were young boys. The characters
of nearly all of these were nodded
by their mothers.

The N. O. Picayupe of Sept. "a,
says: Two new steamboats-the
E. B. Wheelock completely and
c. E. Saterlee NEARLY completed }
have been built for the Texas &
Pacific railway company at Jeffer-
sonville, Ind. These fine boats are
designed to ply in Red river, be-
tween Alexandria and Shreveport,
taking cotton and freight both
ways. They will remain in the
trade the year round, and when the
water is low In Old river and the
regular packets cannot enter Red
river, will prove of great conven-
fence to the people residing between
Alexandria and Shreveport.
The Texas and Pacific company
have recently made large additions
to their rolling stock ard six fine,
large and powerful engines are now
running between Boyce and Mar
shall, Tex. These engines are capa-
BILE of hauling long trains of freight
cars up the grades and make fast
time. Five hundred new freight
cars are now being built and will
be in service in time for the cotton
trade.

Money in the Back Yard.
tAmerican Farmer


All the readers who live ON q
farm or have a backyard in the
village, want to make money and
can do it if they go at it right.
Tfere is probably nothing else on
which 50 much money can be made
with small space of ground than
by attention to poultry, and it don't
need to interfere with your other
business. In small town in New
Jersey Hammonton) thousands of
dollars are annually laid by from
the sale of poultry. One man,
with less than an acre of ground,
annually clears over $1,000; but, of
course, he makes it his only bust
ness. There are forty broiler farms
there. Now to do these things you
must study the question in all its
phrases and know what others have
done and are doing, and to do this
there is probably no better or more
complete way than to read Leading
poultry papers of the world

From our Washington correspond
emit: At the last session of the
United States Supreme Court a de-
cision was handed down that has
created n sensation in the General
Land office, because it may effect
thousands of land titles that have
passed and are now passing through
that office. Oaths taken before the
clerk OF any court of record or notary
public have from time immemorial
been allowed by the Land Office
officials. Now the Supreme Court
has decided that oaths taken by
United States officials In land cases
before State notaries are not binding.
The Land Commissioner has re-
quested the Assistant Attorney Gen
eral for the Interior department to
furnish him with an official opinion
defining the scope and actual mean
ing of the decision referred to.
Commissioner Tanner denies the
published report that the appropria-
ton for pensions for the current fiscal
year is already exhaused. The way
the report got out was that Commits
sioner Tanner drew from the Treasury
the remainder of-the appropriation In
order to meet the demands made on
the various agencies during this, the
last quarter of the fiscal year. He
says that all demands will be met, SO
that no pensioner need worry about
having 60 wait for his money.

IL is tiresome to hear croakers and

It is tiresome to hear croakers and
seif-styled areformers" constantly
harping about the purity and patri-
otism Of those who figured in the
early days of the Republic, claiming
that "those days were better than
these" But careful examination
OF history shows that the general
morality of today is better than that
Of twenty-five, or fifty, or one hum
bred years ago. Politically, also, we
have much advancement. There are
no Aaron Burrs nowadays. and cab
met officers do not think of settling
personal difficulties by duels. The
Government now has fifty times as
many valuable offices to offer as there
were In Washlngton's time, but it
does not appear that the struggle to
get them lie any more active than 1t
was then. We have just as pure
patriots ID the country now las there
were fifty or hundred years ago, and
fifty times as many of them. The

dolorous comparisons which some
have been drawing between Wash
